ATLANTA MAY HAVE
UNIQUE BATTERY
Cy Young and McAllister
May Work With Billy
Smiths Team
Nv x r,EAGUER

Should Cy Young sign with Billy
Smiths Atlanta club, which seems ell
most a certainty, the season OF 1913 In
the Southern league will bring an an
nouneement from the umpires that hasn't
been heard since the 90's, when the ar
bitrator will bawl in stentorian tones
1.-THE battery in today's game. for At
lanta. McAllister will catch and Young
will pitch.
What recolections this announcement
will bring to Cleveland ball fan should
he happen to be sitting in a Southern
league stand this summer, for these two
veterans were in the points for Patsy
Tebeaus Cleveland team in many a
closely contested game.
Cy Young. who will in all probability

is known wherever baseball is played.
His pitching feats are too numerous to
mention. Young holds the record for
continuous service on the mound in the
major leagues, having been winning
pitcher in the big show for over 20
years He came TO the Cleyelan1 club
from a small team in Ohio and made
a pronounced success his first season in
the box Young was in the box for the
Boston Americans against Pittsburg in
the first worlds series that marked the
renewal of that event, Boston winning 1t.
Played for Temple Cup
He was also the mainstay on the mr.
ing line of the Cleveland club in tho
battles for the Temple cup, which was
contested for by the clubs finishing hrst
and second in the National league race
and was played in lieu of world Sc
ries as there was only one major Or
ganization at that time.
Young owes his longevity In the game
to his regular habits and to the fact
that he pitched very few curve balls
depending almost entirely on his control
and effective high fast ball. In this
respect he reseinbled Jack Powell OF the
St Louis Americans, who since Young
left holds the distinction of being the
oldest pitcher in the majors.
McAlister came to the Cleveland team
from the Texas league as a catcher, but
his versatility on the diamond caused
him to enact the role OF utility man ana
for years he and Lave Cross were con-
sdered the two best all-round men In
the National league. Lewis last appear
ance on a major league diamond was
with Detroit, which club sent him to
Buffalo, with whom he has played al
most continuously since then. McAllster
could play any position on the diamond,
and like Artie Hoffman, with the Cubs,
was an extremely handy man to have
around.

When Frank Chance AFFIXED his sigma
a number of important questions tnat
had been agitating the major league cir
cults had been solved.
Early last fall the displacing of sew
eral managers, the choosing of their sue
eessors, disagreements between managers
and clubs, rumpts of hold-outs, together
with the Horace Fogel disptuation. ere
ated veritabe turmoil in the mayor
leagues.
At a meeting OF the national commission
the Fogel controversy was laid TO rest.
However, other discussions filled the
sporting columns of the papers for several
months.
Chance Gets the "Can"
First the displacement OF the Peerless
Frank Chance by Charlie Murphy startled
the sporting world. The cause of his ac-
tion was live topic of conversation until
the sporting editor of the New York Sun
unearthed the facts in the case. These
facts, now well known to most fans,
placed the Chicago magnate in bad
light, but they failed to settle the
"Chance" question
However. the peerless leader was lost
for while in the discussion that followed
as to just who would be chosen to pilot
the Cubs in his stead. After some time,
it was announced that Johnny Evers
would be chosen, and as both Evers and
Tinker had been mentioned for the place,
the question arose as to what would be
the fate OF Tinker.
After innumerable conflicting reports
and proposed trades Tinker, who had
stated that he would refuse~to play with
the Cubs, was sold to the Cincinnati Reds
as manager of lnat club for the coming
season.
The Bresnahan Controversy
These two problems out Of the way the
interested public turned their attention
to the fate that awaited Roger Bresna han,
the deposed manager of the st. Louis
Cardinals. Roger had three year con-
tract with the st. Louis management
when ne was given the can" and his
declaration of taking the matter TO court
If necessary caused quite furry in base
hall circles. Another series of argu-
ments, propositions and counter PROPOSE
tions followed. Just at this time several
clubs offered the big backstop enticing
propositions. Among these were the
Pittsburg, Cleveland and Chicago clubs.
Finally a compromise was effected In
Rogers claim against the st. Louis club.
and the big fellow signed with the Cubs.

"'...'..''.''.'ss'.s'.....

The success Of this battery was phe-
nomenal They were advertised through
out the state as the 400 pound Missouri
battery. and their work put damper on
the aspirations of many of the sem-pro-
aggregations who were battling for the
states supremacy.
In speaking of the work of 7esreaa,
Graves expressed his surprise over the
big fellows rapid rise.
"Jeff had plenty of stuff when | caught

gray matter with his pitching | never de-
tected it,"
The boy coach laughed.

tract Why, when we were travelling III
Illinois together he would have To get the
manager to tell him every morning what
town he was in"
Graves has not lost the baseball ability
that placed him at the top of semi-pro
circles some years ago. Since that time
no has made quite a success in minor
league, and has played on the same clubs
with "Rowdy" Elliott, Kent. Prough and
other Southern leaguers

THE BIG PITCHER

Il Is not commonly known throughout
the south that one of the earliest battery
mates of big Jeff' Tesreau. now a star

While attending the University of Mis-
souri, few years ago Graves spent
the summer months in semi professional
baseball circles. One summer he signed
with the Herrin club in Illinois, and on
reporting found that the mainstay in the
box department of the club was one Tes-
reau, a burly young giant of phenom-
enal strength and great promise, but OF
little experience.

Southern League Troubles

Southern League Troubles
And while the major leagues sere
tlrashing out the troubles mentioned
above, right here in the southern league
many matters of Importance and interest
were claiming the attention of the local
moguls.
First. and most prominent of all. was
the Montgomery franchise situation.
Early last fall owner Tillis of the capital
city club expressed himself weary Of the
financial losses of the club and volun-
teeie ed the information that ne intended
to dispose of the club to another city.
This information at first attracted little
attention This was the usual howl
emitted from Montgomery, following each
season, when the interest began to wear
off and the owners began to figure up
their financial losses.
The Montgomery Proposition
AS time passed, however, Tilis seemed
to be In earnest, and interest In the mat
ter increased accordingly. Little Rock
secured option ta the franchise, Pensa-
cola Knoxville and Shreveport We're
beard from in this connection. Things
were in a tumble and 1t was a toss up as
to what city would furnish the eighth
club in the league In 1913. Meetings of
Montgomery business men, their refusal
to acceed to rilis' demands, meetings In
Little Rock, ana more disagreements fol
lowed each other in quick succession.
And Just when things were in the biggest
tumble of all. 1ills came across. accept
ed the proposition of the business men,
Johnny Dobbs signed a contract and ev-
erything was lovely. Then came the Ell
iott controversy but what's the use?

and the Rowdy' one will play on tho
coast next season.
Thus the problems came and went. fol-
lowing the lull IN interest after the part

men saw the error of their ways and acted
accordingly. Rancors were healed, pur9es

enters the 1918 season on a firmer footing
than ever.

Joseph Martina is the name of a
New Orleans youngster who has

Martina, as his name indicates. is
an Italian. He is stockily built and

varying success, but he failed to
catch on as a regular with Franks
