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. Atlantans Will See That 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 Made Best Score Bowling 2.156. the best score of the tournament, the liaynes team downed the Patterson team at the A.

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. Auburn “Scrubs” Defeat Columbus Auburn. Ala..

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?

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.
