Six Major League Managers
Selected To Be Given Bounce
By Tad

alton Of his plea, There ara plenty
of men in the world who are plucky
fighters, but know little about
baseball. Wolverton does know
baseball, but he does not grasp the
managers duties as he should. He
has made wreck of what looked
like a powerful machine three
months ago. He is sure to pass out
Of the big leagues forever when his
oneyear contract runs its course.
DahIen and King Have Failed.
Bill Dahlen, of Brooklyn, is an
other dismal disappointment, and
is certain to get the gate. And
the same may be said of Johnny
King. catcher extraordinary OF
other days and present driver of
the Boston Nationals. The sixth
man on the bounce list Is Harry
Davis, who has been trying to
manage the Clevelands but has
not succeeded Taking a real team
left him by the upbuilding Of
George Stovall last year, he has let
1t run down and 1t is nothing but
the scintillating Of few stars-Joe
Jackson in particular-that has
kept the team in the fight with
Detroit for leadership of the second
division.
Joe Camel who has his Roches-
ter Bronchos galloping along at a
furious pace in the lead Of the
International league race, seems
one of the most likely candidates
His rival in the same league.
George Stallings, of Buffalo, who
once held the rein Of the Yankees,
is another discussed one. He is not
doing so we'll with Buffalo just
now, but Is suffering from lack of
material on hand rather than
from lack of ability on his own
part.
HartseI Has Made Good.
The American Association ad-
vances a formidable candidate in
little Topsy Hartsel, the former
star outf1elder Of the Athletics.
Topsy has been doing better with
Toledo than anybody has expect
ed and deserves greater things.
Two men who loom up for lead
ers' honors are now in the ranks
of the clubs that they may take
hold of next year. Mordecai Brown,
Of the Cubs, and Willie Keller. Of
Brooklyn, are the men. Jennings
seems the most formidable candi-
date for the Brooklyn job when he
is turned loose by Detroit but if
Ebbets fails to land him, Keeler is
the next best to be found. Brown
should make a good manager II
he gets the honor with the cubs.
He knows Chances ideas thorough
ly and without doubt would adhere
to the same tactics.

The Georgian Will Print Your Selection of Greatest Club
HOW WOULD YOU PICK AN ALL=STAR BALL TEAM?
Bv W. S. Farnsworth.

HVERY baseball fan has his
own ideas about an all-star
team. Yours truly believes
that the one printed in the accom-
panying box could beat any outfit
that ever wore a spiked lowcut
But The Georgian would like to
hear from the fans on this subject
and will print the selections sent in,
Mail your lineup, keeping your
roster down to eleven players, an
extra catcher and an extra pitcher
In my all-star team l selected
Mathewson and Rucker to do the
hurting Matty is undoubtedly the
greatest right handler of all time
Rucker, in my opinion, leads all
southpaws.
Two former Southern catchers,
Archer and Sweeney, draw the call
behind the bat
At first base l consider Chase by
far the best player If l had to
pick another man Fred Tenney
would be the selection. These two
are the only ones who ever COW
cred any amount of ground. CO.
miskey started science at the mi
tial cushion, but Chase and Tenney
have pulled everything that Old
Roman ever did and improved on
his style hundred per cent.
Laioie, when he was the real La
joie was king of second basemen.
AT least that is what I think. Col
Inns, Evers, Lowe. Ferris and others
may be your pick
Hans Wagner gets the shortstop
berth with me by a mile But
Long, Parent, Tinker and Wallace
We're all bearcats.
At third Jimmy Collins led them
all, according to my way of think
ing. Nash. Lord Baker. Steinfeldt
and Devin were top notchers, too.
Clarke, Cobb and Speaker seem
unbeatable to me in the outfield
Cobb is the greatest of all players.
Clarke, in his day, was almost as
good. 7 give Speaker the call over
Jackson only because l Tipped a
coin to see which l would pick l
don't consider either Joe or iris,
great as they are, quite as good
as Ty and Fred, however.
But come on, you fans, let The
Georgian print your selections The
young fan shouldn't go back to the
days of Glasscock. Kelly, Spaldiug,
White, Sam Crane. Brouthers,
Clarkson, etc. Don't pick your
team on what you have heard bout
old-timers. Select it from the play
ers you have seen or know about
personally.
But let the old-time fan select
his team from the players of long
ago If he so chooses. Whether the
players of today are the equal. SUI
perior or inferior OF the old timers
is question that will never be de-
cided
Address your selections to the
Sporting Editor, The Georgian.)

TIME baseball season Of 1912 is
more than half gone. Seems
a little early still, maybe, to
speculate upon next year, but such
Is hardly the fact. The situation
already has shaped itself so that a
number of things can be foreseen,
and not the least apparent of these
is the shaking up of the managerial
personnel in the two big leagues.
No less than half dozen pilots
seem due to pass from their pres
ent posts of authority by the get
away time in 1913. Three of them
are in the National league and
three in the American. With the
six berths vacated, six opportuni-
ties will await the proper ones,
and a promising lot there seems to
be ready to jump in and handle the
helm
The probability of the unseating
of Frank Chance, of the Cubs, and
Hughey Jennings, of the Tigers, is
one Of the noteworthy develop
ments of the season to date. Jen-
nings' infdelity to the American
league during the last worlds Sc
ries. when he slipped tips on the
Athletics to McGraw, and his I'M
praisable part in the recent strike
Of the Tigers over Cobb's suspen-
sion. will cause him to be ousted
from the American league, as now
is generally accepted as a fact
among baseball followers.
Chance in Bad Health.
Chances physical condition will
compel him to give up the game,
even the managing end of it, by
the end of this season. Numerous
pelts on the bean by fast pitchers
while he was an active gladiator
of the diamond have engendered a
peculiar sort of trouble in the peer
less ones brain, which causes him
to suffer severe attacks of vertigo
when under stress of excitement.
He has announced to friends that
he contemplates retiring altogether
at the end of the season.
The other men who seem sure to
go will be doomed simply because
of failure to come up to what was
expected of them. Without doubt
the most colossal failure of the year
is Harry Wolverton of the Yam
KEGS. Everybody, even the rival
teams in the American league, had
expected the Yankees to stand
we'll up in the first division. But
here they are fighting for last place.
Wolverton is game. You have to
hand him that much. But there
is little else to be said in extenu-

By Percy II. Whiting.

TIME result OF the local invita-
ton tournament. which end
ed Saturday in the victory
of H. G. Scott, of Atlanta. demon
strated that the A. A. c. cham
pionship tourney this year will be
a tabasco affair.
At least a half dozen players
perhaps more-have chance for
the title.
In the early days there were
never more than one or two play
ers who had a look-in for the
championship of Atlanta. Back in
the days OF the old club at Pied
mont park the annual Trawick cup
event was virtually the club cham
pionship. This affair was always a
gift for F. G. Byrd or the late w. F.
Hill. Nobody else had a chance.
When the East Lake course was
opened Byrds game was at its
height. and for a while he held a
monopoly. This monopoly was
finally broken by W. r. Tichenor,
a famous athlete of baseball and
football fame, who developed ire
mendous game of golf on very
short notice Last year the club
championship changed hands again.
and H. G. Scott, comparatively
new conner in the club, won the
title.
This year there will be mad
scramble for the event. The tour
nament will not be held until Sep
TENDER IA, but half dozen players
will begin right now getting In trim
for the event. The big four in
the club are II. G. Scott. f. G. Byrd,
w. r. Tichenor and G. w. Adair.
All of them have virtually an equal
chance for the title.
1t is not certain that Byrd will
play this year. though 1t is more
than likely that he will. Certainly
the other three win be on hand to
battle for the title.
Some happenings at the recent
invitation tournament demon
strated. however, that the big
four" will not have things all to
themselves. The chief one was the
grand playing of T Atkisson and
Clarence Knowles Tommy At
kisson went to the semi finals in
fine style and played good golf
Moose" Knowles went him one
better and reached the finals, where
he lost after hard match with
Scott. If Knowles had been able
to play even an average short game
he would have won by mile.

HOW ONE NEW ENGLAND
TOWN BUILDS CHURCHES

The New Advent Christian Church,
Concord, n. H, recently dedicated. Is
the thirtieth religious edifice within that
city's limits, the Episcopalians leading
with seven. followed by the Congregation
alists with six, the Baptists Qncluding
the Free VIII branch with five, and the
Roman Catholics and Methodists with
three each. The Christian Scientists
Univcrsalists, Unitarians, Adventists. and
Swedish people have each one church
building. A few of these churches are
modestly called chapels. and cost only
a few thousand dollars each, but from
them the range runs to the $4,000 Chris
tian Science structure, which the late
Mrs. Eddy built Of Concord granite, and
gate investment, in Concord churches is
about one million dollars, and IL all Con-
cords 1900 people should decide to at
tend divine service on the same Sunday
which they never yet have done-they
could ali be accommodated by a proper
division between the afternoon and even
ing services. An interesting summer fea-
ture of the city's religious life is fur
nshed by the open air services which
are held regularly every Sunday during
July and August in the groves at Whites
Park and Rollins Park and In the theater
at Contoocook River Park, being COM
bined at the last named place with an
exhibition of moving pictures of sacred
and serious subjects. Prominent clergy
men and laymen, both from Concord
and from abroad, take part in these
services, for which special musical pro-
grammes are arranged. and which are
morely largely attended than most of
the regular church sevices.

full examination of the work Of various
agencies serving the moral and reli-
gious needs Of the university, directly
and Indirectly. concludes that progress
has been gratifying and that the outlook
is auspicious. He finds a greater will
ingness than formerly on the part OF
the students to join with some religious
organization. Nearly a third Of them
are members of a single society which
doubled its membership in the preceding
year. Students are willing to give more.

Students are giving more time to def

are many Indications that the moral
tone of the student community Is rising.
And finally. Mr.. Tinker notes a greater
willingness to unite In Christian effort.
"A federation of Christian workers has
been formed, composed of all the pas
tors. student pastors. and association
secretaries of the city. Possibly no one
event OF the past year has given so
much encouragement to all the parties
concerned"

A Christian Chinese Leader.

DR.. Sun Vat Sen. who was the ener-
giving spirit OF the Chinese political
revolution and the first President of the
new republic, tells in the Independent
why he laid down that ONCE, SO richly
merited, that he might take up the far
greater task of social emancipation for
his people. Before the new institutions
should have crystallized into democ-
racy Of the British type, the French. or
the American, DR.. Sun would seek so
to mold its institutions as to make II
realize more fully the ideal democracy
than any OF these have done. In these
older, self-governing peoples he finds a
deep social unrest. with bitterness and
ranking thoughts of revolution. But he
finds in them all an advanced civiliza-
ton. a fourishing industry. an in
trenched privilege, difficult to dlslodge.
In China that stage has not been
reached. Capitalists and vested inter-
ests, DR.. Sun says, have not yet ap-
peared. 1t is possible. he thinks, for the
Chinese to get control OF the sources of
wealth easily now, while by and by this
can be accomplished only through great
danger to the state. The taxation of
land values particularly attracts his at
tention. Let US take time by the fore
lock and make sure that the unearned
increment Of wealth shall belong to the
people and not to the private capitalists
who happen to be the owners of the
SOIL" he says. II We do not in the
beginning Of the republic take thought
for the future, by and by. when capi-
talism is developed. its oppression may
