But no matter the pitcher and no
matter the pinch, George Harrison
can come nearer to kicking in with
hit than any man who has been
developed at Georgia since Heck
was a pup, which, it will be re-
called. is some years back.
Another advantage that George
Harrison will have over the rest of
the new men is that he has worked
Tor years under Joe Bean. than
Whom there is no better prep school
coach in the country. Harrison has
been taught big league baseball
from the foundations up and he
knows how to play it, too, for he
learns quickly. Any time they keep
this Atlanta lad off the team they
will have to use chloroform on the
coach.
Behind the bat will be Bowden.

day before the first game and told
him that | wanted him to pitch the
next afternoon and asked him to
get into good shape He said he
would.
But Schmidt's notions of prep
arations were queer. He went di-
rect from my lecture to his favorite
loaflng place and remained there
telling his friends what he would
do to Cleveland the next dav and
inviting them out to watch him
do it,
The friends put in their time
ouylng him refreshments until il
was time to go to the ball park.
Schmidt did not look right to me
when he warmed up, but I was
busy in the infield and did not paw
much attention to him, so l sent
MN into the box. After he pitched
the first ball of the game he keeled
right over. He fell all in a bean on
the slab, and it was evident that
what he needed was lamp post
for support
Those were the days of quick
action, so l rushed into the box.
Get out of here l yelled at
him. You are released.
Schmidt laboriously regained
his feet, and with ludicrous dignity
walked out of the pitchers box
ana toward the exit of the park.
AS he left he whirled on me and
exclaimed dramatically:
go to tell the world that the
great Schmidt has been released
He stalled out with his Uniform
on, but his mission to tell the world
MS wrongs was interrupted at his
IaVorite loafing place, which was
mandy to the ball park. He stoned
there, and We had to send his
clothes to him.

MY good man said the golfer
IN anxious tones, have YOU seen
golf ball hereabouts? It's NV 1as+
ball, and if lose it l shall have to
give up my days game and return

The tramp, villainous looking

Georgia Coach Takes Inventory
Of Material; George Harrison Is
Expected to Land a Position

4 THENs, GA, Feb. 21.---Al-
n though next Monday is off,
cial reporting day for Geor-
gia baseball candidates, Coach
Cunningham could not fail to take
advantage of the spring weather of
the past few days and so has been
taking an inventory, as it were. Of
his stock of material on hand, espe-
cially the new men. The after
Moons this week have seen 60 or rs
would-be Red and Black stars on
Sanford field. Not many of the
old players have reported yet. but
by the middle of next week San
ford field will sound like Mexi-
can skirmish with the cracking of
half hundred bats.
There are other holes that have
to be filled, but the infield and out
field are not giving so much trouble
as the pitching department. Hutch
ings, who played first base all last
spring, but whose regular position
Is behind the bat, will be switched

Bowden and will leave the first sta
ton open between Henderson, of
football fame, and Brooks. a broth
err of Home Run Shorty" who
comes from Royston, Ga. Second
and short are both carrying ito let"
signs with Harrison. of Marist,
and Clements, of Gordon, making
strong bids for the places.
This George Harrison is going to
be hard man to keep off the team,
for he has the natural punch. He
is not the greatest fielder in the
world, perhaps, but he is a good,
husky lad and can stand
up in front of anything hit
his way. His chief claim
on a job will be based on his abil-
ity to WELD the willow. The kid
does not look like a fancy hitter
His batting form is not faultless

COIN TO START BOOSTING

SAVANNAH, GA, Feb. 21.-For the
purpose of beginning at once publicity
work for the automobile races, which
will be held over the Chatham county
course this fall, the Savannah Auto
mobile club has arranged to borrow
$1,000 from the advertising fund. The
loan, secured by a first mortgage on
the big grandstand on the race course
or lien on the gate receipts, was al
lowed by the directors of the Chamber

EXPLAINS
PROPER USE Of
GOLF CLUBS
Chick" Evans.
western Amateur Golf Champion.)
z ia DIrp L.. .r1-..a -. -.

(Western Amateur Golf Champion.)
n READER has asked me TO ex-
~ explain the proper use of
each club, He believes many
players are totally unacquainted
with the standard usage of various
golf clubs He says
Il have seen player with a bag
full of clubs step up and use
putter at a water hole"
He further mentions an original
golfer who teed off a 507 yard hole
with a goose-neck putter.s These
examples, if not illustrating spir-
it of fun. would seem to show
need of some instruction.
1t would be interesting to follow,
step by step, the evolutionary prog
ress of the golf club, to learn how
the standard driver, brassie, cleek,
midiron, mashie and putter came to
be so used and called.
Evans Catalogues Clubs.
| place the various standard clubs
in the following order: The driver
is for the longest shot, the brassie
comes next, then the spoon, cleek,
midiron, jigger and mashie. The
putter's name shows it's use but
have seen a man putt with a bras
sic, and l have putted with mashie
and midiron myself but / do not
recommend them for that service,
of course.
In regard TO some clubs, the diff
ferences are often Aardly noticea-
BILE. | believe, however. that if /
could hit each ball with equal
rious clubs, they would lie in the
order named. But here is another
puzzle: l get as far with half
cleek shot as | would with full
midiron approximately (but I would
never use the shot except when a
lower trajectory was demanded,
and l can go as far with a full
mashie as l can with a half jigger
shot or midiron, speaking approx
mately.
FIayers ApiIlty Big Factor.
The distances for each club can
not very well be given in yardage
because they vary with the skill of
the player; but approximate dis
tances are associated with certain
clubs.
There is a certain standardized
use of clubs for various distances,
modified of course by the lie one
has.
The driver is the legitimate club
off the tee. Rightly used. no iron
club can reach it in distance, but it
lacks delicacy and exactness. The
driver gives us the tee shot par ex-
cellence and always should be used
as such unless the player thinks
that he can reach the green hole
high with an iron. Under normal
conditions, | always use a wooden
club off the tee for shots over 210
yards. OF course, when the ground
is hard and burnt up, one can go
further and when it is heavy in
spring and fall the going is slow.
Accuracy of Clubs Varies.
When | step up to the tee | see
in the distance an area that my
shot will reach if played as it should
be. This area, maybe it is a point,
but l don't think it Is, gets smaller
the shorter the distance.
On holes where accuracy is inn
perative and the direction off my
wooden clubs is wabbly, l have
learned by experience to take a
cleek, provided the distance allows
me to get home. But / always feel
guilty when l use the, wrong club.
1t nearly always means a weak
spot in ones game.

 And all the remaining parts and DOT tions of said city shall be and re- main one CD ward by the name of the Central Ward.
Norwich bulletin., 1913-03-26

By a bill which has been presented before thea legislature and will be dis oussed before the same committee hearing at which two bills on consol- idation are to be discussed, it is prop posed to divide the city into five wards, for which the names West, Greeneville, Boswell, Falls and Central ward are suggested.
 The ward idea was once before brought to the front in Norwich and with such success that an amendment was made to the city charter, approved June 2s, 1876, dividing the city into five wards but it had short life. It was repealed in 1877. March 14. The bill repeating the division into wards was presented to the governor for his sig nature, but not receiving his signature in the specified time, became a law without his approval
 . In the amendment and division into wards in 1878. there was also provision that the, election of an alderman and two 4councilnlen should be made for each ward. In the present bill there is no ward representation in the city council attached to it.
 Text of the Bill.
 The following is the text of the pres ent amendment proposing to make five wards:
 The. city of. Norwich is hereby. di- Vided into fives wards, as follows: So much of said city as lies westerly of the westerly margin of the Thames river and Yantic cove and southerly and westerly of Yantic river shall be
