In his college days Herty was
noted for diamond ability and be-
cause he wore an overcoat in sum
mer. This man could do a little of
everything in an athletic line. He
could play any position on the ball
team-and did play most Of them.
Besides that, he was a corking
gymnast and a pretty good man in
every way.
After leaving college, Charley
Herty acquired some sectional rep
utation as teacher, but his chief
claim on fame is based on his in
vention of method of tapping pine
trees for obtaining turpentine. This
method has been stamped by the
government as the best one for get
ting the turpentine and saving the
trees, and it has virtually stood the
industry on its venerated head.
OF course, some Of them go into

eral historical examples of late.
Theodore Roosevelt was a great
boxer in his college days. And
Woodrow Wilson was not only a
ball player. but coach as well. OF

he was merely a manager is not

George Warren, quarterback of
the Clemson team in 1908, is now
a member OF the South Carolina
legislature.
Hugh Morrow, perhaps the best
known of Alabama's lawyers, a
state senator for many years and
a man who is likely to be governor
Of Alabama before many years roll
around, was a grand athlete and
was captain of the baseball team

teams were tied in the race for the
Southern championship and hooked
up in the deciding game, with Nor

the fight lasted-and then darkness

Then, OF course. there is Hillsman

KRAFT, NEW PEI, MADE
NINE H0MERS IN 8 DAYS

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 3O.-Manager
Frank has consummated a deal with
the Cleveland American league club
whereby Outflelder Kraft. a Nap re-
cruit, becomes the property of the local
club.
The deal according to Manager
Frank, had been pending since the
Southern league session at Birming-
ham last December.
Kraft was purchased by the Maps
sent back there for more seasoning in
from the Flint. Mich, club in 1910, and
1912, Cleveland exercising a repurchase
option. AS member of the Flint club
Kraft established new minor league
record, clouting nine home run drives
in eight days. Ii was because of such
sensational slugging that the Maps
yanked him back, Scouts Kennedy,
Gilks and others praising the recruit
to the skies
The record of Kraft for last year,
while not as fashionable as that of the
previous season, indicates ne is a fairly
good man. In 1875 games he scored 70
runs and totaled 1870 base hits for an
average of .25I stealing % bases
crowding 10 doubles and triples into
his record.
Whether Kraft is slated TO succeed
Stanley or Spencer was something that

TONOR of being the most con-
sistent club in the South
ern league goes to the PeIs.
In twelve years the New Orleans
club finished in the second divi-
sion only once That was back in
1908, the year before Cholly Frank
came to the Crescent City. That
year, however, the locals made it
good drop by winding up absolutely
p last. In the twelve years the PeIs
have won three pennants, finished
second once, third four times,
fourth three times. and eighth once.
For the twelve years the average
position is third. Under Cholly
Frank the local team has averaged
2 40
While the Pels have the best
average position, the BOBBY prize in
this respect finds tie between the
Birmingham and Chattanooga clubs
with So. Next to the Pels come
the Crackers with 3.9, just a shade
better than an average of fourth.
When the present league was in
augurated in 1901, it contained on
its roster eight clubs: Nashville,
Little Rock, Chattanooga, New Or
leans, Memphis. Shreveport, Biz
mingham and Selma, Ala. More
or less financial success was expe-
rienced in each city with the ez-
ception of Selma, which turned out
to be heavy loser and the league
officials to prevent suicide, placed
the club on the road about mid
season, where it remained, journey

hamlet were not enough to support

DEMAREE SIGNS;
|SEXPECTED To
MAKE GOOD
By Sam Crane.

NEW YORK, Jan. SO,-Al De
N maree has affixed his sigma
ture to a Giant contract and
the document was received by Sec
rotary John Foster in time to make
the announcement yesterday.
Demaree made his big league de-
but last year at the Polo grounds,
and it was so sensational that the
Giant partisans regretted that he
had not Joined the National league
champions in time to take part In
the worlds series. But unfortu-
natey he did not report to Man
ager McGraw until the time limit
that would have admitted him to
the select circle had expired, and
the best that he could get was only
a nick at the contests that decided
fine baseball supremacy of the uni
verse.
Demaree is not a spring chicken
Az a ball player He has had his
ups and downs in the Southern
league for several years and was
tossed from pillar to post in South
land before he finally landed on
his feet in Mobile, Ala, and with
Mike Flynn as his manager, the
pitcher was the shutout sensation
Of the Southern league.
Finn Is Giants Best Scout.
Finn had been the best scout that
NcGraw had in his service, and by
a. diplomatic shift of youngsters to
Mobile last spring that included
Big Bill" Jacobson, the Giants Sc
cured the first call on Demaree
and the latter Joined the Giants in
Philadelphia during the last visit
of the National league champions
10 the Quaker City last fall. 1t
was on that trip that Horace Fogel
made the raw" statements against
umpires and honesty of the sport
that resulted in his being showed
out Of baseball altogether as a mag
nate.
Experience Will Help Demaree.
Demaree's experience will stand
both the Giants and himself in
good stead when he fills in as a
regular on McGraw's pitching staff.
He has the reputation of being
fine spring pitcher and that quail
ity always appeals to the Giants
manager
If Demaree can live up to that
reputation, possibly RUDE Marquard
will not be so very badly missed,
should the big but erratic minded
southpaw decide to stick 10 vaude-
VILE until the June roses blossom.
But, notwithstanding Rube's threat
or was it a promise?-to sail
vate" audiences up to June. it is
better than an even bet that LIE
Marquis viii be introducing an
other turkey trot" delivery or
something like it when the Giants
are down in Marlin this spring
working the winters rust out of
their muscles
Demaree will be a handy man to
have around, anyhow-either in the
spring, midsummer or the fall.

~ ACK in the wild old days of
~ football in Dixie they used
TO let anybody play-prize
fighters, professors, truck drivers
and even students.
In those days Auburn had a
coach who was not over particular
as to language. Also it played one
Of It's instructors, a certain Pro-
fessor McKissick. 1t is related that
this coach in the heat of a scrim-
mage, would shout:
Get down, Professor McHissick
blank you. Blank, blank you, Pro-
lessor McKissick; play lower; you
blank blanked, ring tailed old fos-
sill"
And thus adtured, Professor Nc
Kissick would bend to the task.
1t is related that this instructor
player was a corlSer on the grid
iron--a good fighter and a strong
guard.
If you viii wander to Pelzer, S.

the owner Of one OF the largest cot
ton mills in the world. And rich,
why, he just oozes money. He
made it all himself, too.
And there we have anotner man
who was good alike on football field
and in the grand scramble for
fame and coin that comes when col
lege days END.
DIFFERENTIATION and grit are
- two characteristics needed
alike on football field and in the
Game of Life. For instance, take
G. N. Mitcham.
When the fall of 1898 rolled
around Mitcham found himself the
captain OF the Auburn team, Also
he was most Of the rest of the team.
Fact is. OF the eleven men who had
played regularly the year before ten
had departed. 1t was a CHASTITY out
look But Mitcham was game.
Somehow a team was patched up,
but it didn't amount to much
couldn't with an average weight of
lao pounds, back in the stormy old
days when weight was almost
everything But somehow IT man
aged to win a lot OF games Final
ly the Georgia game came. At the
end of the first half Georgia led,
10 to T. In the second half Mitch
am, almost unaided, made three
touchdowns and won the game. 1t
was the greatest piece of single
handed football the South ever saw.
And where's Mitcham now? Why.
he's head of the civil engineering
department at Auburn. He could
have been mighty near anywhere,
but that's the job he happened to
pick for his own, and he went off
with 1t.
THE successes didn't all play
L football, either For instance
there was Mayhu Cunningham, of
Georgia. They called him shrimp"
In the old days and he was sec
ond baseman, and a good one.
That wasn't so many years ago.
But It was long enough so that he
has forged to the front as a lawyer
and is now the general counsel for
the Central of Georgia railway and
the Savannah Ocean Steamship
Company.
THEN, there is Major Frank Cal
laway, president of the Atlanta
Baseball association and leader
among Atlanta lawyers Back in
the days when Frank Galloway was
in Georgia he was a catcher. and a
corker, too, as good as they ever
had. the old-timers say He was a

ARGUE NELSON CONTEMPT CASE
Court Asked Attorney Some Very
Pointed Questions.

JEFFERSON CITY, May 3.-Argu-
ments before the Missouri supreme
court in the contempt case against
William r. Nelson editor and owner
of the Kansas City Star, today was
devoted largely to the action of Judge
Guthrie of the Jackson county circuit
court, in writing an opinion adjudging
Nelson guilty of contempt before the
hearing was held. Members of the
court asked the attorneys pointed
questions about the propriety Of
Judge Guthries action, and attor-
ney o. II. Dean Of Kansas City, and
the judges INDUCED in an extended
colloquy about the opinion.
The court sitting en- banc, heard
the arguments in the habeas corpus
proceedings brought by Nelson after
judge Guthrie had sentenced him to
Jail for one day for alleged contempt
The court will render the decision
later.
