Hammond Flags
Hooper Alexander

Il. Hammond comes back at
Hooper Alexander, who, in a COM
munication, the substance of
which was published in The Con-
stitution, referred to him as
"pitable incompetent, :" and also
charging him with ingratitude.
1t will be recalled that Judge
Hammond, who was for two years
president of the Georgia Anti
Saloon League, is vigorously op-
posed to Alexander's candidacy
for governor, claiming that it will
do more to demoralize the real
temperance forces of the state
than anything else, in that its
inspiration is a selfish desire for
off ,e.
After the denial of the charge
of ingratitude for not having sup
ported Alexander for solicitor
general in 1888. Judge Hammond
proceeds to say:
when the Anti Saloon league
was organized was twice elect
ed the state president and my
views were well known. have
always thought that the absolute
prohibition Of the sale of liquors
in all forms was uRwise. l think
it has legitate uses, and have al
ways thought so. But [ have
always aligned myself with the
prohibitionists, and never with
the other side. But I want to
warn my prohibition brethren
against the danger of the extreme
views of some, who would read
everybody out of the prohibition
party but themselves.
"As to the charge made by Mr..
Alexander that l am the tool of
anybody or have been, | repel it
with Indignation. He ought to
know that it is false. and he
ought not to indulge in such
vituperation. | have never been
sought or approached by the
liquor people or anybody else, as
a tool in their interest. I spurn
the charge as gratuitous and I'M
founded, and I warn the temper
ance people of Georgia against
the danger Of electing a man who
lis capable of making such a
charge. Mr.. Alexander alludes
to my treatment of twenty-four
years ago, in failing to attend a.
caucus of his friends when he
was a candidate fof solicitor
general, as evidence of what kind
of man | am; a circumstance |
don't remember and can't recall;
and judging him by the same
method and out of his own mouth,
| solemnly warn the temperance
people of Georgia to beware of
him. If what / said and did
twenty-four years ago is to be
used as evidence Of base ingrati-
tude and 'pitiable incompetency, "
then the false utterances and Tn
founded charges made by him
a yainst me within the last twen-
ty-four hours ought to hold the
eyes of all good people. Iregret
to use such language about him,
but has contemplate utterances
about me have made it necessary
in order to preserve my self-re-
spect.

Harvard 10 to 8 Favorite Over
Yale in Struggle for Title;
$4,000 VIII Witness Game
BY W. j. McBeth.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Nov %
" With the Eastern champion
ship at stake the prospect Of
witnessing one of the most thrilling
and desperately contested battles
in football history was the magnet
that drew $4,000 persons to this lit
tie town today for the thirty third
annual clash between Yale and
Harvard
1t was a typical college crowd,
recruited from every state in the
nation. that filled the hotel to its
capacity or paraded the gaily dec
Grated streets during the hours
preceding the game. Mothers, wives,
sisters and sweethearts Of grad
yates and under graduates of both
institutions, together with pretty
college girls, all CARRIED in multi
colors lent brightness to the scene.
The day was bright and clear
with little wind-an ideal day for
the blue ribbon event Of the 1912
football season. THE field was dry
and fast

Though Crippled, Should Win

him out. He would gladly break
leg to win this game
The rest OF the Vanderbilt team
looks good enough, as far as ap-
pearances go; but Dr.. Owsley Ma
nier, head Of the training depart
ment, says they are set Of spa
vlned, doddering wrecks and maybe
they are.
Ships ankle is twisted up like
tissue paper-to let them tell it.
Collins, however, is in fine trim.
All Joking aside. Vanderbilt is not
light-or anywhere near right.
Whether or not the Commodores
are so badly shot to pieces that
they will lose to Auburn the after
moons performance will tell. I'm
inclined to like Vanderbilt. even
considering all things,
THE Auburn crowd hasn't any
L ante-game excuses The team
has played one whole season to get
ready for this game. AND 1T is
READY.
Seldom has any team so brazenly
saved itself for one single struggle
az Auburn has this year. The Ala
bama Polytechnics have not played
a really tough team this season.
They started with their own alum
nj Then they hideously walloped
Mercer. Then they got away with
hrtt
10 points The next Saturday they
rolled up 81 points on Clemson but
were scored on themselves to the
extent Of points. Then came the
game with Mississippi A. & NJ,
which Auburn won by a touch.
down. The next Saturday Auburn
rolled up q points OH Tech, but
We're scored on once. The follow
ing Saturday came the game with
l.. S. r., which Auburn won by a
single touchdown.
This is a moderately good sched-
ule, but not by any means a hard
one. The Auburn team was forced
to get right" but once this season
and that was for today's game.
Apparently Auburn must have IL
lot that hasn't been turned loose
yet--in plays. IN tricks and in re-
serve strength and power,
Take this as a certain fact.
Unless Auburn plays better to-
day than ever before this season
Vanderbilt will win.
That much is certain
go is the fact that the AuburniteS
plan confidently to turn loose more
than they have before this season
and more than they ever turned
loose in their lives.
THE weather here today is fair
and warm. Everything has
combined to make todsy's game
big drawing card.
We shall soon know how the peo-
pie OF this burg respond. My own
opinion is that after today's game
Vanderbilt and Auburn will have
had enough of this town and that
they will be ready to transfer the
game to Atlanta, where it really
belongs.

George Burns, Giant Youngster,
Rapidly Developing Into Star

But Burns is a very wise youth. He
is not addicted 10 2 whole lot Of
conversation, but does plenty of
thinking. He is in line with Otis
Crandall on talk, and it is mis- retir-
ing disposition that keeps him
somewhat in the background as re-
CARDS tiashiness.
Excellent Base Runner.
Burns eXcels at base running He
is nearly as fast on the bases as
Shafer or Devore. and they are
some speed boys. He has never
reached the coveted 300 mark as a
hitter, but he stands up well at the
plate and has good eye He is a
free hitter and is a difficult, man to
size up at bat, for he hits to all
fields. An opposing player can not
lay for him with any degree Of
certainty. This is a strong point,
too.
Burns is short, stout youngster,
being five feet seven inches in
height, and weighs 10 pounds. He
is very active, though. and brimful
of ginger. In fact, he is a McGraw
style of player from head to feet.
Utica, n. Y. was the city in
which Burns first attracted the at
tention of big league scouts In 1911.
and Sadie" Mcmahon who was
star pitcher for the old Baltimore
Orioles when McGraw was a mem
Der of the same team, spent nearly
Il mouth in the New York State
league getting a line on Burns ex-
ciusively. AS a result of this thor
ough investigation, McMahon ad
vised McGraw to secure the prom
Using player. This was done, and
81 in cash was paid the Utica club
for his release, This was in the
tail Of 1911
Showed Sudden Flash.
Burns Joined the Giants late in
the season and reported to AIcGraw
in Marlin with the first bunch of
recruits. He wisely took things
easy in practice, and for a fort
night failed to show up to expec-
tations. But suddenly he flashed
one day like a meteor He had
gotten himself into fine trim and
then cut loose with all he had. and
he knocked McGraw, the Giants
and the war correspondents silly
with his sensational work.
That showed how wise and
shrewd a kid he was. He lust
waited and piked along until he
knew he was in form and then
made himself known. McGraw was
dead stuck on the youngsters

in not playing himself out at the
start.
Burns hangs up his hat in St.

thinks there is no other burg like
it--not even excepting the big city.

AUGUSTA. GA, Nov est is pos
sible that Augusta will enter a new

Charleston also was compelled TO
drop out Of the Sally and now Columbia
has done the same thing.
With league composed OF Augusta,

made and a number of local business

Harvard's hopes rested largely
on Bricllley, the wonderful drop

Yale rooters hanged their faith
on Lefty Flynn, whose long spir-

Il GORGE BURNS, one of the
NJ Giants second string of out
felders, has the stuff in him
to make big league star il given
the opportunity.
What few chances he has had to
show since he joined the team
demonstrated that he has class
enough to warrant his being re-
tanned on the clubs roster. And
the fact that Manager McGraw has
held on to the youngster is evil
dence enough of his ability
During the early part of last sea-
son Burns was put in as a pinch
hitter quite frequently and made
good nearly every time he was
called on, and for a while has a
most enviable batting record. He
was kept under cover, more or less.
by reason of Becker, who was first
substitute outfielder, showing very
strong when he was put out in CEN
ter at the time Snodgrass filed in
at first base, owing to Merkle hav-
ing felon on his thumb.
Burns, though, will get his
chance later on, and as he is only
81 years old he can afford to wait.
He was in % games during the sea-
son of 1912, however, and that en-
titled him to a share of the Giants
world series receipts. Last season
he was given half share. so he
has no reason to complain OF his
short career in the major league.
He is ambitious. though, and would

McGraw and also Connie Mack to
hold back his Youngsters until they
are exactly ripe and then spring
them Mack's success with Eddie

of that plan shows the benefits to
be derived from such wide hand
ling.
