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
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 well with Buffalo just
now, but is suffering from lack of
material on hand. rather than
from lack of ability on his own
part

vances a formidable candidate in

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 Keeler, 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 viii Print Your Selection of Greatest Club
HOW WOULD YOU PICK AN ALL=STAR BALL TEAM?
BY W. S. Farnsworth.

VERY baseball fan has his
own ideas about an allstar
team. Yours truly believes
that the one printed in the accom-
panying box could beat any outfit
that ever wore 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 1 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 a hundred per cent.
Lajoie, when he was the real La
joie, was king of second basemen.
At least that is what l 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
were all bearcats.
At third Jimmy Collins led them
all. according to my way of think
ing. Nash, Lord, Baker, Steinfeldt
and Devlin 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. | give Speaker the call over
Jackson only because / Tipped a
coin to see which | would pick
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. Spalding,
White, Sam Crane, Brouthers,
Clarkson. etc. Don't pick your
team on what you have heard about
old timers Select 1t 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 a question that will never be de-
cided.

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
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 a dozen pilots
seem due to pass from their pres
ent posts of authority by the get
away time in 1918. 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' infldelity to the American
league during the last worlds Sc
ries. when he slipped tips on the
Athletics to McGraw. and his un-
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
well 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

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
pionshtp tourney this year will be
n tabasco affair
At least a half dozen players
perhaps more-have a chance for
the title.
In the early days there were
never more than one or two play
ers who had 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. O. Byrd or the late w. p
HILL Nobody else had a chance.
When the East Lake course was
opened Byrd's game was at its
height, and for 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 n. @. Scott. comparatively a
new conner IN the club, won the
title.
This year there VIII be mad
scramble for the event. The tour
nament will not be held until Sep
TENDER II, but half dozen players
will begin right now getting in trim
for the event The big four" in
the club are H. G. Scott. F. G.. Byrd,
w. r. Tichenor and G. w Adair.
All Of them have virtually an equal
chance for the title.
It is not certain that Byrd will
play this year. though It is more
than likely that ne win. Certainly
the other three will 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
