But it means the return of Billy
Smith to Atlanta for the first time
since it has been announced that
he has closed to manage the Crack

You all know what that means
1t means 80 much that 1t will not
be surprising If the largest Mon
day crowd of the season turns out
to welcome back to Atlanta the
man who gave the Gate City the
only pennants they have won in
the history of the present league.
Swell Performance Yesterday.
Sometimes diamond artists play
ball to win pennants sometimes to
earn their salaries and sometimes,
though rarely, for the sheer joy of
the playing.
1t was in the last named classi-
fication that the performance
pulled off. by the Nashville and At
lanta players yesterday belongs.
The players went into the game
as happy as a bunch of school boys
and they put a performance to
their credit that wouldn't have
looked bad in a worlds series.
Probably because nothing mat
tered-winning, losing, tying or
postponing-they played their best.
There was a slap and dash to the
whole thing that was as refreshing
as a drink of water.
1t happened that Nashville won.
But that wasn't the main point.
Neither team has more to lose or
less to win than hobo. How the
thing ultimately turned out didn't
cut any figure. They were out to
play ball and what came of it was
immaterial. They did play ball,
too-and Nashville won to 0.

Also the loss of Woodruff Will be

1t is largely up to Coach Cum

while the Red Sox Of 1911 fifth?
There are several reasons, such
as the return to form of Heinie
Wagner, the appointment of Jake
Stahl as manager. and the sue
CESS OF THE PITCHERS. But
the principal reason is Carrigan,
and Carrigan is deeply associated
with all the other reasons, partic-
ularly the success of the pitchers.
The improvement this year is in
a better regulated offense, but
more than that in a superb defense.
The greatest factor or the defense
is the pitching staff. To repeat
the Red Sox have the most efficient
pitching staff in the world. Who
did it? Bill Carrigan.
A dozen would-be pitchers re-
ported to the Red Sox this spring,
including those who were on last
seasons roster. Carrigan took
them in hand. He taught them
how to make the best use OF their
abilities and schooled them in all
the fine arts of baseball-for CARR
gan is master Of the game.
There were no Walter Johnsons,
Ed Washes and Christy Mathew
sons or any other stars to start
with. But today Wood, Collins,
Bedient and Hall are winning a
greater percentage of their games
than any of the famous stars.
Wood, in fact, has become a star.
He has won a greater percentage
Of games than any other pitcher of
1912. And the others will be stars.
So much for the pitchers. But
Carrigan, with Wagner, signals
the defensive tactics Of the team.
Concerted action is necessary, and
the concerted action has to be die
tated by man on the field. Car
rigan has a survey of all the field
and all the bases in front of him
and he knows what to do. The
others watch Carrigan.
A Master of Inside" Ball.
No team can win a pennant with
out what is known as inside"
baseball. Carrigan is the chief "in-
side" baseball man Of the Red Sox.
He has educated every member of
the team individually. as well as
collectively too, and they have con-
iidence in him.
AS a backstop on the field, Car
rigan is a marvel. He is far from
fast. No catchers are speedy after
a few years of service behind the
bat in the strenuous big league
campaigns. Their rigid posture
takes the limberness out of their
muscles. All of the veterans are
slow compared with the other play
ers. But Carrigan blocks off the
home plate like a stone wall. He is
tenacious When a runner dives
into the plate, Carriean stands like
a rock. He is usually bowled over.
but he does not drop the ball. and
the runner is out. He is absolutely
without fear. The runner must
beat the ball to beat Carrigan.

THE Georgia team will report at
Athens September II. After that
real estimates can be made.

under the same roof this year. A

near the gymnasium, where the

er rooms. with rubbing rooms and
drying rooms right at hand. Show
er baths and the swimming pool are
in the same building. These build
ings are beautifully located on a
high hin, overlooking the athletic
neid.
Do these seem fmmateIial points
IN the estimate Of the Georgia team
for 1912? Perhaps. But they show
iust how carefully the Red and
Black Is planning and what unus-
uai preparations are being made
for the coming season.
THE head coach OF the Georgia
teams this year viii be- "Alexr
Cunningham a Vanderbilt gradu-
ate and a man who learned his
football under Dan McGugin. He
was too light to be a football star
in his Vanderbilt days but he has
been tremendously successful as a

8. MALONE-Full back last
year. a firstly year man.
6. MINNBHAN-Fun back who
alternated with Malone,
7. TUCK-End Had played four
years on team.
That means a pretty heavy loss,
as anybody will admit Woodruff
was one of the souths best play
ers, and not a man in the lot fail
ed to make his mark in Southern
football
OF those seven there Is no ques-
ton. Not one will return unless
miracles are worked.
N addition to the seven, several
men are in doubt. They are:
l. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES years
center. who was playing his first
year. He Will probably go into bust
ness and give up college
2. LUCAS-Three years on the
team as a guard. He will posi-
bly, return to take post graduate
work in engineering.
3. YORKE-Tackle for the past
two years. His case is uncertain.
but there is no certainty that he
will bs back.
Fl AVTNG dwelt on the sad part
Of the story, It is time to
turn to the brighter side and to
consider the material from which
Coach Cunningham must build his
team. Here is the list:
l. Peaoook-Captain and guard
of last years team He led n crew
OF Georgia men down into south
Georgia on a peach picking trip
this summer and has turned up
In good condition.
g. McWhor Enough
said He is the best in the South
in his position.
8. Bowden-Halfback
4. HarrelI-Tackle.
&. Parrlsh-End.
s. Sancken-He aiternated with
Woodruff at quarter last year.
These are all the regular varsity
men who are counted on to return.
In other words. Georgia loses seven
regulars and returns six.
NATURALLY there are some
other men who were in col
lege last year, but who did not play
but who are counted on for this
year Such a list is always an un-
certain thing, but here's the best
possible guess, as made by Coach
Cunningham himself:
l. Morris-He was in Georgia
last year but ineligible as he had
played at Dahlonega. He plays at
half or full.
2. Mlse-He was ineligible last
year on account Of the one-year-in-
college rule.
3. Conyers-So5 pound guard Of
last years scrub team.
4, Arnette-Sub tackle last wear.
.. Wood-Sub tackle last year.
6. Crump-Sub half last year.
7. Broyles-Sub half last year
8. White-2oo pound guard of
last years freshman team.
9 Shetfield-A tackle who was
ineligible last year because OF the
one-y ear-in-college rule.
10. Prioe-A guard on the fresh
man team last year. A good man
4 Nd finally there are some new
i men expected, who will doubt
less turn up with all their work in
such shape that they can play this
year Here is this list:
l. Srith--Captain of Riverside
last year. He was one of the all
Georgia prep ends last season.
2. Powell-Left halfback on Rfy-
erside team last year
s. J. T. Woods Played end for
Locust Grove prep team last year.
& John WheatIey-End Of the
stone Mountain team.
5 Hauser-Tackle last year OF
the stone Mountain team.

TINE chief difficulties about Civ
ing a preseason estimate of
a football team are these. &C
coFding to tho views of Coach W.
A. Cunningham. head coach of the
University Of Georgia teams:
/ College men are prone TO say
they will not return and then to
show up in good order on opening
day
2. New men are SO uncertain
that nobody in the world can tell
about them.
3. The men you count on most
strongly often fool you.
Naturally. in the face Of
y these difficulties. nobody not a
prophet or a lunatic would try to
say what the exact outlook is for
the University Of Georgia team
this fan.
About as close an estimate as
could be made would be summed
up after this fashion: A lot Of
oorking good mon Of last years
team will not be back, lot of aw-
fully good ones remain. and lot
who are tremendously promising,
but equally uncertain, are coming
in.

of the men, SO Miss Mary Hew-
lett was the oldest of women en-
ployes. In very few years peo-
pie would begin to speak of her
as an old maid. Miss Hewlett
was past thirty-fve. She was

in the aisle down which Presi-
dent Bland walked pompously to
his office three times a week and

Old Jennings had never been

the company; he alone of the old
employees had been retained when,
thirteen years previously, the lit

over by Bland. And he was still
bookkeeper. Then he had re-
ceived fifty dollars a week. Now
he had sixty. He had had sixty
