You may look for two native Geor-

cured Claude Derrick. the old Univer-
sity of Georgia star, from Detroit.
Tommy Mcmillan. who scintinated at
Tech just before Derrick began to shine
at Athens. has cinched his place at
shortstop for the Yankees and those
who know of Derrick's' ability when
given a real test are pretty sure that he
will win a regular place, very likely at
second base, his natural position.
Derrick was substitute infielder for
the Athletics for several years up to
the middle of August. He never had a
chance to supplant Eddie Collins or
Jack Barry. but did fairly we'll as a
substitute for them Connie Mack is
said to have thought very highly of the
boys future and it was with reluc
tanCe that he let him go to Baltimore
last month in the desperate effort To
strengthen the Athletics outfield by the
addition of new talent.
Derrick has been burning EN- up in
the International league, batting heav-.
lily and fielding well, and was gobbled
up in the draft by Detroit. Jennings

SAVANNAH GA. Sept. 21.-That Sa-
vannah can secure the Grand Prize and
Vanderbilt cup races in 1913, II the city
desires to stage these great autpmoble
events again, is the opinion of Harvey
Granger, of the Savannah Automobile
club, who has just returned from New
York, where he was in touch with Of
hcials of the Automobile Club of America
and of the America. Automobile associa-
ton.
Granger bases his statement on the fact
that Milwaukee has fallen down in her
effort to pull off the races ON scheduled
time, whereas, on the three occasions that
the races have been run here, everything
was ready on the minute. The result he
says, Is that Savannah is being talked of
all over the country as the only place in
the country where these events can be
properly staged
