"Well, the first round of tho bat
tle for the jungle championship—
Tigers vs. Cubs—comes off at Chi
cago Tuesday.
The hopes of all Atlanta and
most of Georgia are with the De
troit team—especially with the
Cobb - Jennings - Archer trio —
which is particularly associated
with this section of the country.
Not having any personal opin
ion on the respective merits of the
two teams we do not offer any,
AVc haven’t seen either of them
play a half-dozen times in a pair
of years.
But, anyhow, Detroit has game,
ness and batting ability to match
against the pitching of the Chi
cago experts.
And it will not be surprising if
the combination wins.
As a matter of dope Chicago is
the choice.
As a matter of hope it is De
troit.
Everybody’s guess that South
ern football teams are stronger
this year than last seems to be
coming true. Some cracking
games can be looked for when the
big guns boom.
The hope of all tho Southland
goes ' with Vanderbilt when she
tackles Navy at Annapolis Satur
day.
'flic Commodores have small
chance of winning, but ought to
mnke a fair showing. The game
last Saturday indicates that Mc-
Ougin is there with a team again.
Tho Georgia Railway and Elec-
trio Company is anxious to have
Tech football games played at
Ponce DeLeon Park and offers tho
use of the grounds for a sum en
tirely nominal.
Their reason is that thoy are in
a position to liandlo enormous
crowds at Ponce and can not nos.
sibly giv.e a good service to Tech.
This is a small matter during
tho early games, but a big one
later, when Georgta and Clemson
are here. And unless there are
other than sentimental reasons
why tho games should bo played
at Tech, it would seem that it
might bo a gqod idea to pull off
the big games nt Ponce DeLeon.

HUGHEY JENNINGS.
Here It the man who did at much at 'mo*t anybody but Ty Cobb to
bring the American Ltagua pennant to Detroit.
Jennings it the marvel of the year. When he joined the Detroit team
at managor the knowing onet laughed wleely. Jenningt had done very
wall In a minor ltagua, they said, but they teemed to think that ho was
out of hit olatt in the American League.
That Janninga it at good at tho beet of them he hat demonstrated
thie year. Ho hat welded together tome very unpromising material Into
a flreat ball team and if Detroit gets the championship of tho world It
will bo largoly hit work that gav» it to tho City of Straltt.
AFRAID OF TYRUS COBB
Georgia Boy Has the Cubs
Scared Into a
Faint.
Chicago, Oct. 8.—Rut there Is only
one mnn on the Detroit club that haa
scared the Cubs. He Is none other
than young Tyrus Cobb, tho batting
and base running sensntlon from Geor
gia. There are many who predict that
Detroit will beat the Cubs, and It will
be all because of this player. Take
Cobb out of the game and tlie Cubs
would have a sure thing.
While that may bo a bit strong,
there Is absolutely no doubt that this
youthful, llght-halred boy, who hns not
yet cast a vote, has won tho American
League pennant for Detroit and may
win the world's championship for the
Tigers.
if Cobb can ksep up his present dar.
Ing enpers and carry them through ter.
years pr more of baseball, he la not a
human being.
When Cobb starts to steal second he
papers to see what Detroit and Tyrus
did. Thursday, when It waa seen that
he made seven hits and had stolen five
bases In the double-header with Wash
ington, some of his friends sent him
the following telegram: "Royston re
joices your winning penunnt; believe
you will win world's championship."
And we believe It, too. Royston Is
proud of her representative In the big
league. J. F. LEE.
hns the pitcher crazy and the catcher
actually sick. Cobb ‘will steal third
oftener than nine out of ten men could
steal second. He Is a wonder and It
must be so admitted by all who know
the game.
Rut can this boy beat the Cubs out
of the championship of the worldT
Ask any hot West Side fan today and
his answer will he “No."
Ask any Detroiter and he will yell
"Yes,” at! tho top of his voice.
Nevor before In tho history of base
ball has one man come so near to hav
ing a whole team buffaloed as Cobb has
the Cubs. Their goat Is In his posses
sion. The only question Is, "Can he
get away with It.”

TIM MURNANE’S ESTIMATE OF COBB
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, tbe baseball
lenaatlon of the season, will not be 21
inttl December II.
His remarkable all-round ball playing
for the Detroit club haa kept the Tigers
n the race for the American League
shamplonshlp, and all baseball experts
igree that he la no doubt the find of the
leaaon. They aty also unanimous In
tbe opinion that he Is one of the great-
wt ball players that ever donned a uni
form, says Tim Uurnane, In The Boa-
ion Globe.
Cobb la the leading batsman of the
American League, as well as one of the
foremost 'outfielders, run-getters and
use runner*. Sis feet In height and
salanclng the scales at 172 pounds, he
ooks the ideal athlete, and gives prom-
se of some time being ranked with the
mmortala of the profession.
Off the field Cobb Is as unassuming
is a modest maiden from tbe rural dls-
xlcts, a striking contrast to his de-
nesnor on the ball field, where he Is a
nost alert bundle of nerves and com-
relllng aggressiveness, off like a spark
rom a trolley wire at the least opening
aid displaying a ready wit to take ad
vantage of every opportunity to win.
Found by Armour.
Cobb was playing with the Augusta
club of tbe South Atlantic League In
1805 when Manager William Armour
realized that the youngster was a com
er, although he hod not reached hla
18th birthday. Armour agreed to pur
chase bis release for 2780, but the De
troit club refused to pennlt the deal,
and Armour, having faith In his man,
paid the money out of his own pocket.
Subsequently he convinced the Detroit
owners that the youngster was worth
the money.
Cobb remained with Detroit last yedr
aa ar. extra mar. until late In the aca-
son, when he was tried out on the reg
ular team and became a batting sensa.
tlon. HIb aggressiveness was not to the
liking of one member or the club, and
It was thought that the young man
would be traded, but Hugh Jennings
was too good a judge «f talent to allow
hlm to go. He soon had him playing
the game of his life, a game fully as
strong as anything In the two big
leagues. The fads were amaied, and
everywhere there was a desire to get a
look at him.
"I never mind how the crowd acts
toward me, but I always save the pleas
ant things I find In the newspapers, and
1 am very much obliged to you for the
nice things I'have read about myself
from your pen.”
This quotation Is a repetition of what
Cobb aald at hla first meeting with the
writer at the Copley Square Hotel lost
Thursday, and It was pleasing to one
who has written about baseball for the
last twenty years to realise mat some
few at least appreciate a word of
praise, even when praise Is well de
served.
Overall Pitches For Cubs,
Donovan For the
Tigers.
AUBURN WINS.

Auburn, Ala., Oct. 8.—Auburn de
feated the Maryville team here Monday
by a score of 29 to 0.
Detroit demands to know the where

Quaker ran kill a tiger. We await the

By JAMES CRUSINBERRY.
Chicago, Oct. 8.—Play ball!
When the umpire saya those words
thla afternoon something like 30,000
baseball fans on the West Slds are
going to scream.
The Cubs and the Tigers are to be
gin the fight today for the champion
ship of the world. The two greatest
ball clubs In the country are going to
claw- and tear each other until one Is
downed.
All morning long Chicago citizens,
every one a baseball fan at heart, have
been on the jump. Thousands mode
thetr way to the grounds before noon
and It was expected that the gates
would be closed two hours before the
time for the game to start.
Will the Cubs beat Detroit?
Can the great ball club handled by
Frank Chase defeat those scrappy play,
ers under the direction of llughey Jen
nings?
Never have critics of the game been
so bndly up In the air over a series.
Thousands are betting on the Cubs.
Thousands also are wagering their
money on the Tigers.
Both Are Confident.
Both the Cubs and Tigers are con
fident of winning. The Chicogos de
clare the title will be theirs.
Nobody knows and the two great
teams will clash today In the first bat
tle of the series, which Is to end when
one team has won four games. •
Chicago Is pinning her faith today on
big Orval Overall, the giant Californian,
who has been the pitching wonder of
the National League during the season.
Detroit is banking on the veteran
"Wild Bill" Donovan, to pitch the first
game Into the credit column for the T|.
gers.
Both teams are on edge for the first
game as they have not been all sum
mer. The Cubs have been preparing
for this day for weeks and weeks.
The Tigers have lust finished a grand
rushing finish of the American League
race and do not expect to slacken speed
until all the Cubs are slain and they
con carry the big title back to the City
of Straits.
Both Want First Game.
The battle today probably will be the
toughest of the entire series, for each
tram haa a suspicion that the club that
wins the first game will win the aeries.
The final Instructions of Manager
Chance to his Cubs before they pre
pared for the ronteat were:
"Get that game today at any coat.”

Is the league's distinguished leader,
I would tell you. gentle readers.
Tell you In n flash, a Jiffy:
"Years ago, before Ban Johnson

Years ago, before Comlskey

Very smooth was Toot-the-Whlstlo,
Made to he n mighty lender:
He wns smarter than a bookie,
He was craftier than a yeggman.
More resourceful than a lawyer,
Deeper th*n the deepest river
In the Michigan pine forests.
‘To the land of TooMhe-Whlstle
Came the cruel, savage Blnckfeet,
With their wflr clubs ami their arrowy
With their tvar pnint and their hatchets;
Over Michigan's wide prairies.
Where the wolverine prowls nightly,
Past the shores of GItchle Gnmmle,
Now I .also Michigan, they hurried—
Hurried like the Autumn whirlwind
Sweeping up the leaves and grasses;
Hurried like the Broadway actor
Trailing down a rich acquaintance;
Hurried like the gentle landlord
Coining up the elevator
With a statement for tbe rental.
'Then did brave old Toot-the-Whlstl*
Take his whistle made of willow—
Whittled from a willow sapling;
I.oiul he blew and loud the echoes
Battled through the stately forests,
And his warriors heard the echoes
But the cruel, savage Blnckfeet
Also heard the willow whistle.
And It got their goats, my readers,
Just as Hughey Jennings' whistle
On the coaching lines all summer
Got the goats of his opponents.
"That Is how old Toot-the-Whlstle
Chased the Blackfeet back to nature;
That (• how brave Hughey Jennings
Led his forces to a pennant."

for a few words of encouragement In
their dressing rooms and his last words
were:
"We must win today.”
Mnn for man, the two teams Beem to
be evenly matched. Chicago Is a bet
ter balanced and a better drilled club.
Detroit Is a bit more scrappy and bold.
Chicago Is a trifle stronger In fielding.
Detroit Is a tiny bit stronger In batting.
They are equal In base running.
Excitement Is Fierce!
There Is even more excitement over
the games than last season, when the
White Sox and Cuba fought It out In
the two Chicago parks. There Is not a
village or hamlet In the United States
today that will not be hanging over the
wires to learn the result of the first
game between Chicago and Detroit.
Probably something like 30,000 persons
will see the battle, but there will be
more than ten millions of persons In
our own country that will be eagerly
awalttng the news.
Only a small part of Chicago's' own
baseball fans can get In the West Side
grounds for the gome.
But In a hundred places over the city
men, women and children will be
watching the bulletin boards.
Business on the down town streets
will be at a standstill.
Up In Detroit the citizens are doubt
less nearly crazy.
They haven’t yet seen their boys,
their champions, since they beat out
all the others In tbe American League,
Kvery train from Detroit was loaded
with excited fane, who had rushed like
mad to the scene of the first battle, the
spot where their own -champions were
to battle with the Chicago champions
for the highest baseball honor In the
world.
Weather Promising.
The weather was much to the liking
of the Chicago players. Threatening
clouds had caused gloom on thousand,
of fans, but the weather man had
promised a fair day and cool and the
Cubs had been hoping for just such
conditions.
The Cubs were up early In the morn

the seYles. Outside of Mordecal Brown,
the entire team was on hand, primed
to the limit for the first battle.' Brown
will be able to pitch, but probably not
before the third game.
Artie HofTman was limping slightly
from a sprained ankle and will not be
used in the first two days unless badly
needed.
The Cubs’ pitching stair, with the ex
ception of Brown, is In trim for the
games. But In spite of the fact It Is
possible that Chance will not use more
than two or three of his twlrlers In the

Overall) Lundgren!
Overall and Lundgren seem to be th*

the championship. That point Is gen

country who knows anything about the
two teams. Mullln and Killian are the
other only reliable pltchera on Jen

sure of working In one of the games.
Johnny Kllng Is expected to catch In
all tbe games for Chicago. Schmidt
may catch oil for Detroit, although the
Tigers have a backstop of almost equal
ability In Payne.
