Hot NEWS, BUT VIEWS I
By PERCY H. WHITING. •
Our morning mail brings us a pair of marked copips of the
Montgomery Advertiser.
These marked copies show that Rossiter played left tackle
for the University of (Jeorgia in its game against Alabama Sat
urday and that Cox' played quarterback.
Yet the accounts of that game sent to the Atlunta papers
gave Martin as left tackle for Georgia and C. Hatcher as quarter
back.
Somehow, with the circumstances what they are, this seems
rather more than a coincidence.
We are informed that Cox is ineligible because of past
baseball performances.
We are likewise informed that the Rossiter who is with the
Georgia team is a former member of the Savannah professional
team and that on this accouut he is debarred from participation
in intercollegiate athletics.
We don't know any of these things first hand and give opr
information for what it is worth.
We note likewise that Capt. K. J. Williams, of Dahlonega,
has agreed in good time to come across with the iqformation he
promised about crookedness in Southern athletics.
Wc have a sincere hunch {hat this information is about due.
The more we sec of the present condition of things the less we
like it.

Vandy-Michigan Conflict
NATL ASSOCIATION OF LEAGUES
MEETS TUESDAY IN NEW YORK
By SAM CRANE.
New York, Oct. 29.—Reprenentatlvea
of thirty baxebull IcuKuex, comprislnK
190 club* that have under reserve und
control nearly 3,100 players, meet at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel today to leg
islate on questions of very great Im
portance In buseball.
There appears to be a disposition
among the delegates to “pooh-pooh''
at the wur talk and scare started by
Mike CatUIUon, of the American Asso
ciation. Still the action of the Eastern
league at Its meeting In appointing u
••war” committee, or consultation board
to act with President Powers. "In case
the necessity arises,” Is significant. It
shows that the inmerful Eastern
League, while It tuny not tuke any
stock In the prospects of war. as P. T.
Powers tried to Impress on his hear
ers. Is going to Im» prepared for any
sudden developments and will be ready
Big Class A Leagues Seem
To Be Looking for
Fight. ,
to meet them.
The American Association delegates
on hund are still full of fight and suy
they will demand more and bigger con
cessions than they are now accorded
under class A protect Ion. Whether this
will take the form of major league
protection exclusively for their own or
ganization Is not known, but It Is ru£
mored that the rebel league has already
l>erfected arrangements to locate a club
in Chicago, und If that Is so %hd not
another CatytlUon-Tebeau bluff, there
are liable to be some hot times at the
session of the National Association of
Professional Leagues.
The Eastern League will ask for a
higher class protection than It now en
joys under class A and will make the
stlffest kind of a fight for It. There are
three other leagues now In class A be
sides the Eastern League and the
American Association. . They are the
Western League, Southern League and
Puclflc t’oast League, and they are not
going to see their prestige as leaders
of the minors go glimmering.
The National Association will advo
cate the promulgation of a rule that
will prevent the big league clubs from
carrying on their reserve lists more
than 26 or 30 players each—some stated
number.
The entire situation will be thorough
ly ventilated and there is.no doubt of
the fact that the minor leaguers mean
business and will show their feelings to
the national commission In no uncer*
tain mannes. f \ '
Haynes Bowlers

nasium Monday night. The losers made
1.921. Haynes team Is made up of

gan, Hudson and Berrien.
For'the first time in the history of
college football In Atlanta the Tech-
Universtty of Oeorgfa game has a rival.
This Is the biggest game of each season
here, owing to the intense feeling be
tween the two colleges. Usually it not
only holds'the center of the stage, but
occupies all the space clear to the wings
and up to the scenery loft.
TMs year It Is dividing Interest with
the Vanderbilt-Af fchigan game. Every
where that football cranks gather you
hear the same question, “Going to
Nashville for the game Saturday ?r
Last year Atlanta sent up a car load
and a half of rooters. The Atlanta
Athletic *iub chartered a car and a
goodly bunch traveled by the regular
sleeper.
This year the Athletic Club will have
Its own car again and there Is likely to
be at teo^t a full car load of other
rooters.

G. M. A. PLAYS
B. H. S. A TIE
The exasperating habit of playing
tie games which beset the local prep
world lu&t season Is with them again
this year, and Georgia Military College
and Boys’ High School played another
Monday afternoon at Piedmont park.
The score was 5 to 5.
It was a clean, fast game, well play
ed and well handled. Both teams did
brilliant work at all times and showed
n good knowledge of the game.
If statements front people very close
to Garry Herrmann nre to be believed,
the rifty-seven kinds of anpllcants for
the managership of the Red team might
as well shut up shop and go home.
The tip Is out that the succefsoi oft
Kd Hanlon will.b* found right In fchei
ranks of the team, and that the uewi
htadar will be John GsnseL *
Meat Eater Races
With Vegetarian
New York, Oct. 29.—Meat eaters or
vegetarians?
This question is to be settled (?)
shortly by a decidedly unique walking

H. R. Mwceney, of Harrison, represent.
Ing the vegetarians, and William Smith,
of Newark, tne rcpteseniuiive of joe
meat eaters, have agreed to walk from

GEORGIA TEAM IS HOME,
"DISFIGURED,” BUT GAME
Hpcclal to Tilt* (ieorgiiut.
Athens, Ga., Oct. 29.—The Georgia
team came In from Montgomery yes-'
tenlny afternoon and Is considerably^
torn up nfter their experience with de
layed trains and with the Alabama
team. They are also sorely disap
pointed hs to the result of the game,
for Alabama was clearly outplayed.'
Twice Georgia crossed the line, only,
to be brought back to answer the
charge of a foul:
After the death-deullng grind which
Alabama had with Sewanee It was ex J .
period that Georgia would find a lol
of ”ciips,” but such seems not to have
been the case. Coach Whitney
pected to tuke the rfttme by at' ie**t
four touchdowns. Because the game
turned out as It did he Is worried more
than ever over the chances to beai
Tech. Unless the squad is strengthen
ed materially at once the only hope will
be to keep down the score as much as
possible. .
On November 7 ’ Coach Whitney*
men will go down to Augusts to ao
battle with the Glemeon bunch, and on
the 16th. In order.that sport lovers In
Atlanta may not be deprived of s game
through the absence of Tech from
town, (ietnson and Georgia will clasn
In a battle royal In the Oate City.
