Supposedly, he was the first sports editor to include batting stats in his newspaper column.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}} For two years he was president of the Georgia–Alabama League.[4][5] His brother J. B. Jemison was club president of the Thomasville Hornets in 1913.[6]

Dick Jemison himself was an avid golfer, basketball player, and bowler.[7]

Writing

On watching the flight of Charles K. Hamilton in 1910 he wrote, "The time is not far off when the automobile will be put in the discard for the flying machine, just like the horse was passed up for the automobile."[8]

Sports

On Georgia's first All-American he wrote, "When you mention football to an Athens fan its definition is Bob McWhorter, and vice-versa;"[9] and McWhorter's "value to the Red and Black team cannot be fully expressed in mere words, or even figures."[10] In 1915, Jemison was first to report that Georgia captain-elect Charlie Thompson was ineligible.[11]

Automobile business

Jemison also contributed to Motor World. By 1917 he resigned to enter the automobile business as a salesman and publicity manager for Poole & McCullough Motor Company, which handled the Dort, Winton Six, and Locomobile in Atlanta.[12][13] He was also once in charge of sales promotion at the Miller Rubber Company.[14] In 1920, he was appointed advertising and sales promotion manager of the Oldfield Tire Co. in Akron, Ohio.[14][15]
