iiut there and play every chance you get.
t-co how they go after ground balls and
help, let me know."
From that time HeUcman was under the critical eye of Cravath every time
the club played in Cincinnati. The boy improved wonderfully, and after
Uavvy was appointed manager last year he was given long workouts with the
Phils. At the end Cravath decided to give him n chance and ordered him to
leport for spring practice at Birmingham. He is not expected to step into
the fast set this year, but after a couple of seasons in the minors Gavvy thinks
he will be a star.
ttFIEILEMAX is about eighteen years old," said ihc manager oj the
3 I'hils. "He has a lot to learn, but I never saw a more promising
prospect, We will give him a thorough tryout and sec if tec can't
make him a star,"
Tech Mourns
GEORGIA TECH is mourning the lo's of Jack Heisman, who after sixteen
years of service, forsook the southern institution and came back lo Penu.
To the Atlanta boys Heisman was a Mike Murphy, loved and respected by all
who were fortunate enough to come in contact with him. Here is what Oscar
Davis, an Atlanta sports writer, has to say about it :
"Buck Flowers was about the first man at Tech to hear the sad news.
Buck left the machine shop for n few minutes, went to the telephone and ic
. turned a much sadder Buck. Buck didn't rah-e any commotion, but merely
passed the simple words to a fow of his teammates in the class, 'Coach's gone!'
Buck's face told the story much more effectively than his word Sad news
travels fast, but never faster than (his. In a few minutes it i-eemd the whole
school knew that Coach Hodman was lost to Tech; that for the first time in
sixteen years another than John W. Heisman would tutor Tech's football eleven.
"With the confidence of youth, Tech believed all along that the scare
heads in the papers were meiely devices of the press to stir up n hit of sensa
tion. Coach Heismuu lcae after sixteen years? All were from Missouri,
especially the members of the eleven, und would believe Coach was going to
Penn when they saw him there. And despite the growing proof. Tech stuck
to her belief, though maybe at times a bit fearfully until Tuesday afternoon.
"Heisman raised Tech from the mists of athletic nbscutity lo the brightest
place in the limelight, and Tech has always been grateful. But not until Tues
day did she realize nist how much Heisman has meant to her and how keenly
his loss would be felt. Football without Coach ''.
"But Coach is goue and Tech can Iom' no time crying over spilt milk. Tech
realizes too late that the proposition which Penn offered was a wonderful oppor
tunity, the acknowledgment of greatne-s and the fulfillment nf u life's work,
and that no one can be blamed iu the least for accepting what seems to advance
one's own interests. Tech feels that Coach will have as gicat success at Penn
as he did at Tech."
T "WILL be noticed that 11nri refer in Ueiman always as "coach."
The new Penn iutor ha requested his football players always In
call hint "coach" and nothing else,
"Ton haven't iimc to call mc Sir, Heisman," he explained lo his
future pupils.
Asleep at Sicitch
ANOTHEB Atlanta writer, Morgan Blake, accuses the Tech authorities of
being asleqp at the switch in the Heisman situation. Jack had been at
the Georgia institution so long that ho was considered as much a 'part of the
college as the buildings. No one thought he would leave, and therefore, when
his contract ran out, nobody took any notice. Here's what Blako has to say :
"Coach John W. Heisman has notified the authorities at Pennsylvania
that he will accept the contract tendered him to bo head coach of the football
teams nt their university.
"This decision will rauso genuine sorrow in the ranks of Tech supporters,
but every one must realize that a man is entitled tojiromotion and no one will
blame Heisman for accepting such an honor.
"Ho is an alumnus of Penn and for years a good player on her football
teams. After a quarter of a century he returns as head coaeb after a brilliant
career in the South, where he has been the dominating figure in athletics for
many years.
"A strong character like Heisman naturally made some enemies. He has
n vigorous personality and an unyielding will. He always believed iu saying
what ho thought, let the consequences bo what they might. He was a czar on
a football field, but bi men all loved him, and that is, after all, the best test
of a man.
"He is not an easy man to get close to, bat, after you do you might find
many sterling characteristics. I had beard a lot detrimental to Coach Heis
man beforo I came to Atlanta, but I am happy to say that as I grew to know
him I realized the injustice that was done him. I never saw a member of a.
Tech team do a thing he should blush for.
"Mr. Lewis, an instructor nt Tech High School here and n football referee
who has officiated in all parts of the country, told me that the Tcrjh team of
X017, the greatest the South ever turned out, was the cleanest big team he
ever saw.
" 'When n teum has such unquestioned superiority over every team it
plays,' said Mr. Lewis, 'it is hard not to take advantage of this superiority by
toughing it and breaking the morale of the opposition. Most every great team
does this to some extent. But the Tech players of 1017 were the most con
siderate of their opponent I ever saw. The team was an honor to the South in
more ways than one.'
"I cannot help but feel that tho loss of Heisman to Tecb was duo to the
belief by the Tech authorities that nothing could wean him away from the
southern college.
"During the last week I have talked to prominent Tech men and they all
hooted at tho idea. They told me it was all settled that Heisman was coming
back to Tech, but admitted there was no contract signed.
((rpnEY were asleep at the switch and woke up too late, which is one
i of the best known of human frailties."
Hcisman's Popularity Spreading
JACK HEISMAN has been In this city a comparatively short time, but his
popularity is spreading rapidly. The veteran coach has made a big hit
with Penn men and it won't be long before every University undergraduate
and graduato is behind him. The aluuiui nnd students already have Indorsed
him as coach nnd his talks at various banquets and meetings huvo scored for
him with outsiders.
Sidney Hutchinson, a member of the football' committee, gave a luncheon
t his residence, 171S Spruce street, to newspapermen on Saturday to intro
duce Ilcisman in an informal way. Most of the scribes have met Heisman
previously, but his heart-to-heart talk won thojr confidence. Suggestions
were nuked of tho writers by Mr. IlutcUincorj. nnd it was virtually concluded

Three of baseball's most famous
managers got their big league starts,
with American Association teams in
1891 John McGraw, Hugh Jennings
and Clark Griffith. But of the trio
the major league debut of "Griff the

Milwaukee, pitched the third game of I
the 1S91 season for the Browns, de
feating the Cincinnati Reds on April

The westerner then won four more
games before he was thrown for his ,
first loss Following his victory over
Cincinnati. Clark defeated Columbus on I
April Mi, and Louisville fell before h! i
piowess on April 10. He defeated I
Columbus ou both April -'! and -II.
before he lost to Louisville, with Ited

Despite the fact that Griffith had a .
very credible record in 1891, ho was
permitted to drop back to the minors iu

and lots of it splurged to the

There i no doubt that Valger ii

Tiplitz got ovcr.1 thing hooks, jabs,
right crosses ami left crosses. The
fusillade of Vulger socks bhnok up Joe
several times, but not once was the
rugged Philadelphia!! on the elgo of a
knockout
AVhile giing Valger a lot of credil
for his great showing, TipliU may
come in for some of the laurels, that
which belongs to one defeated, because
of his willinguess. Had it not been for
Tip's aggressiveness, his stout heart to
stand there without throwing out dis
tress signals, his doggeduess to try his
level best even though the tide of battle
waged strongly against him, the nifty
Gothan L'loveman would have been
unable to prove just how nifty he was.
Tip Starts Well
Tiplitz was beaten by half a dozen
kilometers, but not in every round.
Joe romped off into tho lead iu the
opening threo minutes. His dangerous
left hook came into evidence brforc the
vibration of the bell ended. Tip senii
circled his southpaw on Vnlger's head
seteral times, and Bcuny became wary.
His defrasiveness enameci iipntz 10
keip ahead, and he won the first round
by u mnigin.
But, beginning witli the second
round and thereafter, it was only a
one man's fight. It was like a race
horse compared to a truck horse. Vul
ger's shiftiness, bis clever footwork
and movement of head made Tiplitz
miss almost continually Invariably by
feet, rather than inches, to spare. At
the same time, Bennrh made Joe's face
a target for much punishment.
The "one-two"' punch, a left jab
followed by a right cross arc the most
effective wallops in the game. And
Valger bhowed that he had these blows
down to perfection. Time and again,
Benny shot out his left to Tiplits
face nnd crossed his right to the same
spot with a fraction of a second to
spare. But no matter how often and
hard Valger hit Tiplitz he was un
able to tip him over.
There may be some doubt as to Vnl
ger's punching powers. He socked
Joe with some terrific blows, especially
in the fourth round when Joe vers
foolishly dropped his arms to his sidp,
btuck out his chin and permitted Ben
ny to shoot over no less than half
a dozen pile-driving punches. Tip
wasn't even feazed.
Valger failed to knock out Tiplitz.

school athletes arc to inntriculntc at
Dartmouth College next September.
They nrc Label Goldblatt, of the
South Philadelphia High School, and
Allen Goldstein, of the Central High
School, Both graduated February 1.
While Goldblatt was one of the great
est athletes ever developed nt South
Philly, earning his letters in baseball,
basketball and football. Goldstein stood
out prominently for Central High on
the. football and basketball teams.
Goldblatt entered South Philadelphia
High from Baugh Close in Fcbiunrj,
191G. He was catcher of the down

One of Best Doubles
Combination in Tennis
CHUCK VERY STEADY
By SPICK HALL
TT IS very likely that Bill Tildcn and
A Chuck Gnrlnnil will nnir un this vcar
in the doubles and play for the na
tional tennis title. If this team does get
together it will be one of the strongest
combinations that ever graced the turf,
not excepting such partnerships as
Brookes -Wilding, McLoughlin-Bundy,
Hackett - Alexander, Ward - Wright,
Sears-Dwight.
The smashing, dashing tactics of Til
den plus the cool, accurate play of Gar
laud ought to carry this team to heights
in tennis doubles never before reached
and doubtless will if they play many
seasons together. Thus far Tilden and
Garland have never had much practice
together, although they entered a num
ber of tournaments last season as part
ners, nnd it is interesting to note that
they were not defeated once.
Last season Tilden and tho youth
ful Vincent Richards were but a few
points worse than tho Australians,
Brooks and Patterson, who won the
American championship. That being
the case, just consider what a vastly
superior team Tilden and Garland will
make. '
Wonder at Placement
Chuck Garland, although a young
player and still at Yale, has been in
the game a long while for his years,
and has the benefit of much tourna
ment play. His game has improved in
the last two years more than any other
man's in America, Those who saw him
take the first two sets from Normun
Brookes at Forest Hills last summer
realize the possibilities in Garland's
game.
Brookes stated recently, after his
return to Australia from this country,
that Garland was the most accurate
plncr he had ever seen. Those who
saw him play last summer know that
this is true. His fore and back hand
ground strokes are all but flawless.
Ho plajs them with the utmost cool
ness, and while his strokes are not
nearly us severe as Tildcn's, their un
canny accuracy makes them just hf
valuable an asset to him as Tildcn's

Gailaiid is a Pittsburghcr, but of
course- we can't all 'be perfect. Out
side of that, he is "there" as "some
body's stenog" remarked. On the
courts. Garland is as frigid as a cold
storage cucumber. Regardless of the
score, he plaj.s all his shots alike,
hammering to the corners and down
the side lines with amazing skill. His
play ut the net is cxccllojit, and while

OH LYNCH'S recent nervous broak-

I covering from an illness of about a
I month, came hack in a bout in Jersey
, last week, and put away an opponent
in three rounds. Tonight Joe again
will appear in Philadelphia competition
when ho takes on Louisiana at the
Oljmpiu. Louisi is a real dangerous
battler. Jack Hanlon had much dif
ficulty in getting an opponent for the
Philadelphia!!, until Lvnch came along
and took on the match without hesi
tation. Both Louisiana nnd Lynch, are
terrific right-hand punchers. Each
nroved this in bouts with Kid Williams.
While the Baltimore kiddo was cham
pion of the bantams Louisi came within
u becond of knocking him out, while
Lynch did accomplish that feat. Both
these matches were staged at the Olym
pia. While Louisiana has been idle
lcfontly he has been keening himself
in fettle, und Lynch will find the local
battler a tough proposition.

There does not appear to be much bting

Boost for Staio
A Tilden-Garland team would be a
great boost for tennis in Pcnns.vl
vania. Thus far in the annals of trie
game no team from the Keystone statu
has ever wou the national title, but
Tilden and Garland are more than
likely to win the honor if they play
together this season. Not only thai,
but if this combination turns out to
be what is expected of it, there would
be more than even chance that they
would be chosen to represent America
in tht doubles matches for the Davis
Cup.
Tilden will pluy here the last week
iu March when the so-called indoor
tournament is held on the roof of
John Wauamaker's store, It is also
hoped that G ml mid und other ptjyers
of prominence will be able to lake part
