The suggestion of a big automobile
trip from Americas to Oglethorpe and
Montezuma as an occasion marking
the formal opening of that section OF
the Andersonville-T homasville high

here already.
Citizens of Montezuma and Ogle-

date most convenient for them to re-
ceive the Sumter delegation, and as
soon as their wishes in the premise s
are made known, the excursion will be
planned upon definite lines and the cit
liens of Sumter invited to go upon the
trip.
1t is proposed to assemble two
hundred automobiles here, if possible,
and send body of representative
Sumter county farmers and merchants
and those of other professions over
the newly completed highway to visit
their friends in the Macon county
towns, the event marking the final
completion of the fine road.

American League Possesses
Excellent Array of Young
MaSkmen This Season.

PHILADELPHIA, February 10.-One by
one the battery men pass, needing the
voice of time. Not So very long ago the
box scores revealed the names Of Frank
Bowerman. Malachi Klttredge. Jack
The first three named are gone from The
big leagues.
Sullivan. the old war horse of the
White Sox and King, late of the
Braves. are still in the major ring. but
they are about done catchers. Sulli-
van is as slow as pusEcart now.
King caught seventyfour contests in
1872. but his receiving was not up to
the King standard. So Boston released
him.
Then there are three other veterans of
a later period who will not be seen in
upper crust circles this season. They
are Gabby Street, Charley Schmidt and
Jimmy Stephens.
To fill the places of the stars who have
faded, and to succeed those who are yet
to fade, major league clubs have loaded
up with young catchers. Not in years
has there been such Il splendid entry
of highly press-agented Juvenile back
stops as will be found on the various
rosters this spring.
There is Schang from Buffalo, whom
every club in both big circuits lad a
draft in for. Connie Mack was the lucky
one and he grabbed him. Last year
Schang was the resounding, sparkling
sensation of the International League.
Boston has Cady. who was the real noise
in the worlds series. Nineteen twelve
was his first major year. Boston also
has Thomas. a recruit from Newark. who
n1r-a nrr1n ct flaxa f,,6
of last season. and Nunamaker. who was
going finely until an injury retarded
him.
Comiskey won't miss Sullivan. The old
Roman has two able new men in Ray
Schalk. whom he purchased from Mil
waukee for d sum said to be $4,000. and
Red Kuhn, heralded as a wonder. George
Stovall will experiment with an untried
catching staff. but it wont be surpriS-
ing if he develops a pair of receivers
capable of going the gait in regular
style. They are Alexander and Crossin.
The Yankees landed a good bet in

dell. The young man had been "touted
go strong that he really believed himself
that he was going to set the American
League on fire. He had a habit common
with many ''southpaws' OF pitching a
sde-arm ball and efforts We're made to
get him to swing his arm higher.
In the squad was ''Matty" kilroy, a
veteran of many campaigns in the ma jor
leagues. Matty is still ranked as among
the cleverest left-hand pitchers the game
ever knew.
a youth who could have Kilroy give
him instructions should consider himself
as lucky as If he were to find thousand
dollar bill. Not so this young left
handler.
Kilroy took the lad under his wing and
urged him to get his arm over his Shout
der before pitching. Matty tried time
and again. and illustrated just why the
oVer-arn swing was better than the
side-arm motion.
All the advice fell upon deaf ears. The
fact that the man instructing him had
held a job for two years in the majors
on his head work alone didn't make any
difference.
I've been accustomed to pitching this
way was the surly remark of the
youngster. and he kept on with his side
arm motion.
That lad went back to the minors be-
fore the championship season was a
month old. and he is still there.
All young twirlers. though. do not break
into the majors with a consuming desire
to show off in the south. They belong
to the class that have an old head on a
pair of young shoulders. Alexander of
the Philies was one of this type. Alex
ander joined the Phillies two years ago
at Birmingham, Ala. He had made a
great record in the New York State
League in the previous season.
AT Birmingham Alexander failed to
make a hit with any Of the war cor
respondents or the other players He
daily went through the motions of
warming up and he failed to create
any impression upon the fans. In con-
sequence there were few press notices
about Alexander sent up from the train
ing camp.
After the Phillies got back from the
south Alexander began to get busy. In
side Of six weeks after the champion
ship season started 'Aleck's' wonder
pected that he became a ''phenom' over
the country. 1t might have been sus-
pected that he became a phenom over
night. On the contrary, Alexander was
a whole lot wiser than the usual run of
ambitious youngsters. He kept his ability
under cover, worked himself into condi-
ton gradually. and when the right time
came he delivered the goods. that's
more, he got more credit for springing
surprise during the championship season
than if he had made big hit in. the
training camp.
