I at those stations. not even for Pratt
Z But such a man we can easily find
room for and make good use Of when
Z Il comes TO utility infielder, and ina
[ that capacity I'd just about as soon
have him in the lineup at any Of the
four infield positions as any one OF
the regular men l have selected
Martin. OF Georgia, was. next 20
these two. the best shortstop the S. J.
A. A. has turned out.
IF Harry Hollands third base play
had been the bat Of an eye" weaker
than what &c was the third base prob
lem would have been the big one
of the whole team. Just stop and
recall big Lex Stone, OF Sewanee. and
the way he used TO hit EN- big West.
of Trinity, and the way he hit 'em
big Joe Holland. Of Clemson. and the
way he hit EN-! Great. simply great,
one and all! But, pshaw, What's
the use2 Harry Holland made the
All-Southern three years I'm success
sion. and you1l not find "a man any
where who believes that his equal at
third ever came out of Southern col
lege baseball "Nuff sed."
I'LL trot out the list and then
you can take your turn at the
churn. I've thought over IL tai my
brains are pretty well scrambled
There were Golduamer. Costen. Gun
bingham and Hardage, of Wander
bilt. White, OF the University OF
Nashyille. Steele. of Auburn; w
Baker and Fuller. of Tennessee :
eager. Robert, both Sloans and Day. of
Tech Watson. Cox, both Ginns and
both McWhorters. Of Georgia, Bur
roughs and Gray, Of Mercer, Cochran
Of Clemson, Cooper, of Trinity. and
Mcdowell. Of Alabama
Wen. after boiling down. I think
we'd get Mcdowell, eager. Robert
Baker, Cooper steele, r. McWhorter
and Hardage.
OF Mcdowell have little doubt He
has all the physical requirements and
skin and in addition, the baseball
sense. Outside of Harry Holland he
is the only man who made the All
Southern three years. I name him
for left field. his usual position
Hardage is, l believe, fairly entitled
TO center field on the strength OF his
last years game He's about as fin
ished as is Mcdowell
After a whole lot of inward struC-
Cling I think I'm put Baker. of Ten
nessce. i'm right field Its 10 be doubt
I ed whether he was as good a fielder
as either Robert or MCWhorter. but
1 he was older and cooler than either
{ Of them. And my. my how that fell
/ low could hit the ball In this re-
speCt. though, he had mighty little
on Steele. Of Auburn. who was un-
doubtedly one Of the best half dozen
outfielders the Southern colleges have
turned out He was Just a trifle awk-
ward on his feet
/ HAVE already named Pratt as util-
ity iuiielder. and now I won't con-
sumo ten words in selecting Gillem
OF Sewanee for my utility outfelder
Besides being a smashing fine out
fielder and hitter. GilIem was a first
rate pitcher. and his ability to play
most any place makes him a neCes-
sity on our team somewhere
IL viii be observed, perhaps. that
I'm the above lineup Tech has one or
two more men than any other college.
That. in all seriousness. is as 10 should
be. and il a second string team were
chosen I have small doubt that Tech
would again have more men on DC
than any other college More Tech
men, 10y far have made good i'm pro
fessiCual bah than from any other
southern college. and this state ~
affairs dates back away yCuder fur
Their than the last ten years would
carry us.
