DEMPSEY is LONESOME

It's true that a lull precedes a
big storm. Also it's quiet after
one.
James Harrison Dempsey
can't understand why he hasn't
got callouses on his heels caused
by would-be legitimate chal-
lengers crowding him.
The champ probably has for
gotten that all these second
raters attended the Jersey City
matinee and got the tip straight
that he hasn't gone back far
enough for them to make it In
teresting for him and the cash
customers.
Dempsey Is still coming-not
going-and he's mighty lonesome.

Off the field and keeps in the back

est men in baseball and just about the
wisest trader In the big leagues. He
has made many mistakes In handling
his pitchers. Last year he was blamed
for the loss of the pennant by the way
he rotated his hurlers on the last
Western trip.
Higgins is In the unfortunate posi-
ton of having every one analyze his
work to find faults. The bugs never
criticize McGraw, because they don't
look at him critically.

MANY "BIG" MINES WILL BE PLAYED BY GEORGIA THIS YEAR
By CAREY ]. WILLIAMS

Athens, Ga-, January --(Special)- pr. s. V. Sanford faculty athletic dl- rector at the University of Georgia is now rapidly completing a baseball schedule that will be unsurpassed by any southern college. Georgia's popu lar athletic director made the football fans sit up and take notice when he released the Red and Blacks gridiron menu with such teams as Harvard and Dartmouth on it-and the baseball schedule is going to be another blue ribbon" affair.
 Games will be played on the diamond this season with Harvard, Yale, Michi- gan, Cincinnati university, Washington and Lee. Virginia, Maryland state, Auburn, Mercer, Clemson, Oglethorpe, possibly Alabama and other strong hines of the country.
 The schedule that is now being planned will probably carry the Bull dog standard either into the east or the west on road trip.
 Coach Stegeman will have charge of the baseball team and will be ably as- sisted by Bill White, former Mercer star twirler and outfielder and coach of Douglas A. and M
 LOSE SATTERFIELD
 Claude Satterfield, captain of last years team, did not return to school this year and the Georgia coaches will have no easy task in finding a man to fill the ex-captain's shoes. Satterfield was all-southern for three years and was also an excellent pitcher as we'll as a crackajack outfielder and swatter.
 The Georgians also lost two of last years twirlers, Pond Lippett, who pitched the famous no-hit, no-run game against Pittsburg, and Jack Slappey who left the Red and Blacks ranks to enter professional baseball with Con- nie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics. Dock Hancock's shoes at the keystone sack will be easily filled and so will Danny" Whelchels at shortstop.
 The Red and Black has six last years letter men that will be on the team again. They are Capt Country" Mangum the hard-hittng outfielder, and catcher who led the team in bat ting last year; Big Chief" Cody, who is considered the best fielding first baseman in the s. I. A. A.; Booze" Me Whorter, brother of the famous Fob; George Clarke, the demon right handler and star moundsman; Gravy" Hutcheson, who promises to be one of the best guardians of the hot corner
