CAMP AICN TO
BE SPIRITED
In The STATE PRIMARY
BOTH CANDIDATES FOR GOV
ERNOR GIVE INTERVIEWS
ON THEIR POSITIONS.

Little Rock, April 15.-Short, sharp
and spirited will be the campaign for
the gubernatorial nomination to be
conducted between this and June 21,
less than two months, but it will be
adequate. The people want to select
their own governor, but it cannot be
denied that they are somewhat aweary
! of much politics and will welcome re-
lief for few months before they will
have to go into the 1914 campaign,
which will be along next winter some
time
Col. S. Brundidge and Judge G. w.
Hays have opened their headquarters
for the furtherance of their candida
cy and it appears that they will have
a free course. Other entrants have
until April % to get into the running,
but they are wary. DR.. Brough of the
University was the last of the linger-
ers awaiting a conference with friends
before making definite announcement,
but it is not at all probable that he
will be a candidate.
Col. Brundidge, in entering the race,
freely asserts that he does not endorse
the administration of Governor Joe T..
Robinson, which lasted only two
months, and declares that he will tell
his reasons for it on the stump if it
becomes necessary.
If elected to the governors office,
so long as | hold it it shall never be
used to elect either myself or anyone
Gelse to any other Office" said Col. S.
Brundidge, "but l am not prepared to
Sell my birthright by promising any
man or set of men that l will never
be candidate for any other office.
That is matter which belongs to the
future and we will let future condi-
tions take care of themselves"
Col. Brundidge will invite other
candidates for the nomination to join
him in canvass of the state The
statement quoted is interpreted as
uiCailHS CIiett Willic he Will I1OC use Tie
office of governor to hoist himself into
the senatorial office, as was done by
Governor Joe T. Robinson, he does not
pledge himself not to run for that of
flee at such time as he may be able
to do so without using the governor S
Office as a means to the end
In making his announcement, Judge
Hayes says, and this is construed as
a covert reference to the fact that Col.
Brundidge may at some time be can
didate for the United States senate,
1.-The governorship is the only Office |
have in view. Judge Hayes adds that
he is not a factional candidate, and
that it will be his purpose to eliminate
factions by trying to unite them. 1t
is expected that the campaign will diff
fer from any that have been held in
recent years by being free from viru-
lent and bitterness, as there are none
of the issues pending which call for
personal attacks. And moreover, the
two candidates now before the people
for the nomination are not that kind
of men, although both have demon
strated their ability on the stump to
take care of their political interests.

the list. That wouldn't indicate
that the individuals are any strong
er, either in batting or in stealing
bases.
"Of course, in many other ways
baseball has gone ahead. When
was in the game baseball was a
sport. Today it is a business.
There were mighty few OF us a
dozen years ago who saved any
money. At the present the aver
age chap takes up baseball for ten
years. saves his money and then
starts up in business. All that has
come with the publicity given the
game and the bigger attendance,
which permits the payment of
larger salaries.
There are more ball players to-
day who are deeper students Of the
business they are following, and
watch the opposing players more
closely to determine what are their
weaknesses. Also they play more
for one run than we used to do.
We wanted to be ahead four or
five runs. Nowadays the team cap
tain is quite satisfied when he is a.
run to the good. That makes closer
scores, and probably the spectators
are all the more satisfied.
Il don't know that l have pointed
out what | have meant to show, but
| want to impress upon the younger
generation the class of men who
made baseball in my day, who built
the foundation for the big organi-
cations of the present time. Men
like Clark Griffith, Jimmy Callahan.
Frank Chance, Cap Arson, John ].
McGraw, Connie Mack, Bobby Nc
Aleer and Jake Stahl all played
with me. Today they are manag-
ing major league clubs, and the
fact that they have been able to
keep apace with the changes shows
that baseball hasn't stepped any too
lively for them"

the inventor whispered it into our
ear, the game runs thus:
A baseball can not be easily held
by players in cold weather, hence
the need of a game with tho, larger,
clumsier football 1t is played on

number of players on a side, the
most notable difference being that
there is no pitcher. The player oc-

and the runner hikes for first, as in
baseball, and is put out by the
passing of the ball to first ahead
of him. as in baseball, or being
touched by it in the hands of a
player.
THE runner may not advance
from a base when the ball has
been passed to the baseman who
touches the base while the runner
is there; this debars the runner
from advancing from the base I'M
til it has been again kicked out; it
likewise debars any runner back of
him. The kick may be of any sort
place, punt or drop kick. The
runner may be declared out if he
advances from the base before the
ball is kicked out. If the ball is
kicked foul, the kicker is out; he
is also out if he fails in an attempt
to kick.
THE game is very lively, being
full of constant kicking, running,
catching and passing 1t develops
strength. speed, accuracy and skill,
and with less liability to accident
even than in baseball. on account
of the freedom from the chance of
being injured by pitched or bat

much time in hiding their signals from

would be shortened ten minutes by the

Southern League Pitchers "Sent Higher" Last Fall Look Only Fair
MAYER, DEMAREE And SMITH ARE BEST IN LOT
By Percy H. Whiting.

winning ball for big league
club? Can the awkwardest
pitcher in Southern league history
become a Giant? Can a lad who
learned the pitching art by selling
pop get away in the American
league?
Answer these questions and you
know the fate of the three most
promising pitchers sold by South
ern league clubs to the big leagues
last fall-Mayer, Demaree and
Smith.
MAYER was sold by Atlanta to
'A the Philadelphia Americans.
But, of course, he played only a
small part of the season with the
Crackers. He won his graduation
on the strength of his showing with
the Portsmouth club.
Now. this Mayer lad is no low
brow. On the contrary he is an
other of the vast army of educated
young men who are forging up
ward in baseball.
Mayer was born in Cincinnati or
some such place, but most of his
life he has lived in Savannah. Not
so many years ago he entered the
Georgia School of Technology.
When the spring came he went out
with the baseball squad and told
them he was pitcher After look
ing him over, the baseball author
tiles said: mo, there must be some
mistake. You might qualify for
bat boy, but you'd shine in the role
of a shadow"
Well, he was thin, all right; and
didn't seem to have strength enough
to pick up ball, much less throw
it. But finally he persuaded them
to give him a trial. After that
there was nothing more to it. They
christened him Scissors" and bet
their board money when he worked.
He seldom failed to bring home the
decision and he was an ALL South
ern pitcher before he was through.
Lack of size will be Mayors
worst handicap in the big leagues.
1t was in the Southern. He didn't
look impressive. When he ambled
into the box the batters all got
bunch they had something on him.
Sometimes they did.
Mayer got three consecutive tries
with the Atlanta team. And three
times they sent him back.
1t isn't likely they'll ever have
another chance. Last spring Char
ley Hemphill sent him to Ports
mouth. Everybody said Charley
was fool for doing it. He was.
With Portsmouth, Mayer hit his
stride. With a team that was los
ing a bunch of games, THE Scis-
sors' was invincible. His speed
made him the terror Of the league.
And he had a good curve ball, too.
Also he had grand head. Moth
ing ratified him. His is the trained
mind. He has learned to think fast,
to remember and to act on the
thought
Mayors chances of making good
seem fairly good. His lack of size is
against him. A manager is likely
to look him over and pass him up.
OF course, some slatty pitchers
have made good. But your ideal
hurler Is broad of shoulder and
moderately husky. 1t would seem
about an even bet. If Mayer, who
is a slow starter, can manage to
bluff along until he hits his stride.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-01-23

he should do Well The Phillies look
like a pretty fair team this year.
With their support, Mayer may
make a good showing. One thing
certain, he'll never quit.
OF all those sent up last fall
Al Demaree looks just a shade
the best. At that it would be a
brave gambler who would bet more
than even money that he will stick.
Demaree was an ordinary pitch
er up to last year. Atlanta owned
him once, but wouldn't bother to
give him a trial. He didn't look
like anything f1ashy with Chatta-
nooga
Last year Demaree came to life.
Bill Smith gives a lot of the cred
it to Joe Dunn. He says that
Joe's long head was responsible for
AIS good work. Certain it was
that Demaree developed into a
wonder.
He showed up every big league
team he worked against in the ex-
hibition series not giving up a run
after he struck his stride. On April
% he shut out New Orleans, 6 to
0, and struck out IL men (and the
Pelicans were no weak hitters, as
they showed two days later by
making 20 hits for rs bases against
some other Mobile league pitch
ers).
Demaree made the most wonder
full start that ever a pitcher made.
For 40 innings not a base runner
crossed the plate while Demaree
was pitching. In succession, and
within twelve days, he shut out
New Orleans twice, Birmingham
and Montgomery.
1t was not until the fifth inning
of the fifth game that a runner
slipped over. But even then Dema-
rec continued to win. He beat Bir-
mingham, Nashville, Memphis and
Chattanooga in the. order named,
and arrived in Atlanta with eight
straight victories to his credit.
Against the joke Atlanta team
Demaree lost his first game. In the
seventh 1t was tied up. Then
OBrien singled, Donahue sacri-
feed, Atkins ripped off a single
and Harry Bailey knocked a three
Dagger. And right there Al got the
first trimming of his 1912 career.
Demaree's remarkable record in
winning eight straights is here
given:
