NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
Not with Miy view of chuuging the subject hurriedly, but
because it happened to occur to us:
Doesn’t it seem that President Kav&naugh went a bit out of
his way to roast the Atlanta club in his speech nt the National
Association meeting!
He charged tnat the Atlanta club sold six players in addition
to having one drafted nnd then howled because they did not get
enough protection.
The Atlanta clnb denies that it ever asked for moro protec
tion. As far as can be learned the only thing the club wanted was
that the Southern League continue in Class A.
As for the sale of the men—well, in the first, place, it was
the only fair thing to do by the men. If they were good enough,
in the opinion of the major league scouts, to be worth a trial in
the big leagues it was only fair to let them go. It would have
been rank injustice to them to keep them in n minor league when
they were good enough to play with the majors.
In the second place there was no effort at “money grab
bing.” . While the local club received good prices for the men it
let go, still in tho long run it will cost nearly if not fully as
much to fill their places.
The very cheapest thing that could have been done would
have been to keep the whole team. The difference between the
selling price of the players that Atlanta let go and the buying
price of the new ones that Billy Smith has to secure would be
made up by the increased receipts that would flow into Ponce
DeLeon as a result of the performances of another pennant-win
ning team. ;
All the Southern League appreciates President Kavanaugh’s
fight to keep the Southern in Class A, where it belongs; but local
fans wjll not care any more for him than usual as a result ol
his apparently uncalled for attack on tho local association.
The roasting firm of Townsend and Murphy, sporting men
of The St. Louis Star-Chronicle, star knockers of all things
crooked in' the sporting game, are out with big boosts for the
Greek wrestler Demetrnl and his manager, M. Charlson.
We are surprised, first that this pair would tackle a town as
“wise” as St. Louis, and second thnt Myron nnd Billy aren’t
“on.”
Go out and see the show, Bill. Then tell your readers what
you think. There may be no "bunk” to the Demetral-Olsen
bout in St. Louis, but if there isn’t it “has a lot” on the exhibi
tion that the Greek put up here,

TROUBLES NEVER END AT TECH;
LUCK IS OUT OF THE GAME NOW
quarter and the fullback.
To HU the place left vacant by Luck’s
departure from the snme, Coach Hels-
man In. giving Johnson, the “Big
Swede," a trial.
In Johnson's Hrst workout his show
ing was not brilliant, and It Is not like,
ly that ho will play any sensational
game against Sewuncc. Uut he ought
to'develop Into a good fullback. Though
you never can tell. You can't make a
good fullback out of every man ,who
appears to have the weight, speed, ex
perience and courage.
However. Johnson la heavy. Is a de
termined player and may ‘Mo," In spits
of his luck of speed. This shift knocks
Tech out of her flrat sub-tnqkle and
makes It necessary for Brown to play.
Injury or no Injury, unless the team Is
to be weakened by the Introduction of
a second-rate substitute.
Despite these discouragements, the
Tech team Is working gamely In an
effort to get ready for Sewanee.
It la now certain that neither-Buch
anan nor Robert' will be In shape for
Robert and Brown Hope to
Get in Shape For Mer
cer Game.
Fullback Retires
Johnson Gets a
Trial.
Coach Ifelsman Is certainly having
Ills troubles In preparing his team for
the Sewnnee game.
With Robert nnd Buchanan out on
account of Injuries, and with Clyde
Brown In no condition to play on, ac
count of a busted hand, It seemed us
though things looked bad enough.
But to jnin the lid on the climax,
“Big" Luck, who has been doing nice
work at fullback, may not get In any
more games-this-season.
Tills leaves Coach Helsman minus
the services of on* regular end, the
the Tigers, and It Is extremely doubt
ful If either can play against Vander
bilt. Both men were on the field Wed
nesday afternoon to watch the prac
tice. "Buck” was on crutches and Rob
ert's arm looked decidedly stiff and
useless.
Robert declares that he will be In
shape for the Mercer game and that he
will .play Thanksgiving sure. This Is
decidedly encouraging, because it was
feared at first that "Chip" would not
be In the game at all this, year.
"Buck’s" case Is doubtful, but quite

The weather Is clear and there should

Assistant Coach Hall, of the Tech

be on the sidelines to see the fun. He
