At that meeting several mat ters will be worked over that stand in need of a general dean- ing up. The Georgian is with him—and with everybody else who is headed toward tho purification of athletics and toward an effort to keep preparatory school athletics dean in Georgia. Now is the time of year when charges are whirling around that certain athletics arc paid to leave the farm and go to certain schools and that certain boys from certain schools have been “in duced” to go to certain other schools—and so it goes ’till your head swims and you begin to think that all school athletics are rotten to the core—which they aren’t. Just how much of this athletic crookedness is going on the writer is in no position to know, but ho joins with every lover of pure athletics in hoping that there ia little of it. No nthletic team ever gained anything—in the long run—by hiring players. The Georgia teams of a few years back were awful examples of the'demoralizing effects of professionalism in athletics. Yon can’t expect amateur players to go to your schools if yon ask them to go in competition for places with professionals. And you can’t expect decent toams, made up of amateurs, to go into games against teams tainted by jirofessionalism. In the long run professionalism is its own punishment. For it will demoralise any school. If wo can’t keep clean the athletics in our ptep schools, what are we to expect in the colleges f It has been a long, hard fight to clean up college athletics in the South, and now and then there is a sickening realization that maybe they nre not any too elenn at that. It has taken a long time for somo colleges to wake up to tho fact that amateurism pays in athletics and a few colleges have a nasty way of taking snoozes now and then and forgetting tho fact. If we ever get the proof on any of them we shall call names and dates. And let whoever is hurt, yell out. SQUAD OF SEVENTY-FIVE WORKS DAILY AT AUBURN Special to The Georgian. Auburn, Ala., Sept. 34.—About eev- enty-nve cadets appear on the campus every afternoon In football practice. Of this number about forty are doing their best to "make ’varsity."

The University of Chicago’s coach will have none but vegetarians on the team this year.—News Item. The elephant eata leaves and grasp, the hippo does the same. And both the beasts are mighty chaps, though very meek and tame. The elephant can take a tree and smash It like a twig; The hippo can engulf a boat—and river—at one swig; But do not think a diet composed of leaves and hay Will make you like these monsters—they are simply built that way. The whale who looms so large and long upon the vasty deep Eats dinky little fishes he surprises when asleep. And the whale can part the water as a swallow parts the atr. And with a doxen boats In tow through foaming billow's tear; But don’t chase little fishes to emulate the whale. It’s nut his grub that makes him fast, but his whopping flukes and tail. The goat who mams the suburbs will never peak and pine So long as papers, wire and cans remain for him to dine. And when he hacks and comes again, his skullplece leveled low, No locomotive ever ran could hit so tough a blow; But don’t *-at wire and cans and things to help you buck the line— The goat he butts so mightily because of his design.

Here Is what Jack* Ryder, of the Cin cinnati Enquirer, says of the debuts of George Pnskert and Bob Spade with the Reds: Two young twlrlers of much (promise were uncovered at League park yester day afternoon to the uproarious de light of 9,000 faithful fans. Both young sters were In Red uniforms, nnd they not only promised, but delivered, to the ecstatic extent of beating the Giants twice all In one day. Bob Spade, the big, strong right-hander from Atlanta, achieved the feat of shutting out Mc- Graw’s tempestuous athletes, allowing them only four hits und no runs In nine complete rounds. Spude showed splen did courage In tight places, kept hts nerve and his control at all times, and dug his way out of one very deep hole when tho Olants filled the bases with no one out and yet were unable to put a tally over. Both recruits fielded their positions well, and Spade, though he struck out twice, gave plenty of evidence of being on the job on the offensive end. If these tads were not showing ahead of their true form they will bo valuable uddltlnns to the department of the Cin cinnati /club which most needs strengthening. Nice Reception. Bob Spade was received pleasantly by the fans, and his reception Increased In warmth as round after round went by with the Giants still far from the plate. Four hits are charged against him, but he really allowed only two clean swipes, both singles, by Seymour. Merkle'a two-bagger was an easy fly which Faskert was Just settling under when he lost the ball in the sun, and It dropped to the ground untouched. The Cincinnati Newspapers Throw Bouquets At ’Em. Doyle’s hit was a hunt which rolled to one side of the box nnd Spade slipped In going after It, losing enough time to allow the young second baseman to reach first In safety. Spade had no wonderful s|ieed, but enough to mix In with fils curve ball nnd a side-arm delivery thnt proved pukxllng to the former world's cham pions. He had a lot of nerve to go with his foolers, nnd that counts for n great deni. Nothing could put him up In the nlr, nnd he was ns cool as an Iceberg In the midst of the most bois terous coaching of the Giant whoopers- up. Three times the first Giant to face him got to his base, twice on hits and once on n pass, but It never feared tho lad from Atlanta, who Just put on a bit more'steam and soon had the side net down. In live of the nine rounds he retired the side In order. Seymour was the only man who could hit him safely. Cy led off with a single In the second round, but never got farther than sec ond base. Dahlen. first up In the third, drew a pass, but he, too, died at Hug gins’ corner. In the flfth. with one gone, Merkle made two bases on a fly tfc center which Paskert loet In the sun. but he never reached the next station. 8ame Old Hole. Spade’s main test came In the sev enth, and he showed consummate nerve In getting away with It. Seymour again led off with a clean single. Bresnnhan, while at bat, was put nut of the game for kicking on a called strike, and Strang, who took his place, drew n pass. Doyle bunted safely, filling the bases, with nobody down. The score at this time was 0 to 0, nnd It looked ns If It would not remain there long, but Spade dug hla way out of the trench. Merkle’a liner was grabbed by Ganxel, who hurried back to t bug In lime to kill off Doyle, competing a double play. Cap In structed Spade to pass Bad Bill Dnh- len. a dangerous man In a pinch, nnd Bob did so, again crowding the sacks, but this time with two men gone. Me- Glnnlty's best wns n high bounder, which Spade leaped up and corraled, shooting to Ganxel for the third out. The strain of this round only made Spade cooler and steadier, and he re tired the Giants In order In the last two Innings. George Paskert didn’t get a hit, hut he made one with the fnns by scoring from second In the third Inning on Huggins' bunt. Of course. George didn't know- that Merkle was going to drop the ball, but he figured that Hug might beat It out, and he was there to take advantage of the chance. Hts fast run saved the game from going Into extra rounds. As soon ss the first game was over, Manager Hanlon left the bench and walked out to meet Spade, being the BOB SPADE. first to congratulate the young twirler on his tine showing. Tho Debut of Paskert. George Paskert debuted with much eclat and Jumped Into popular favor with the fans at once. He looked and acted the part of a ballplayer In every respect. His manner of handling him self attracted the favorable notice of the wisd" old bleacher birds from the very start. The first move that the At lanta recruit had to make was In han dling Seymour's clean single to center In the first round. The hail went over second base like a shot anil on a straight line, and could not be reached, but Paskert' came In on It with the crack of the bat, made a clean pick up and threw In as If he knew what to do with the ball In any emergency. In the second Inning he exhibited his much-touted arm to advantage with a perfect throw to the plate on Browne’s single, Just falling by a hair to nip Mathowson, who saved himself by a long, twisting slide. latter In the game the recruit turned In a couple of clover running catches. His work at the bat was encouraging. He cracked out a two-bagger down tho right foul line his first time up. and showed a fair burst of speed In going down to second, easily beating Browne’s throw In. HJs last effort was a long drive to center that sent Cy half way back to the fence and compelled him to make a circus catch. Paskert’s only' bad break was his failure to run out hla sharp bounder to Devlin In the fourth. When he saw that the ball had been handled he stop, ped dead on the line, a habit that may do In the balmy South, but will earn no bouqueta In this aectlon. "I 1 dow,.
