THE ATLANTA GEORGIA JVAJND K.EWB.TH PBBPAY, NOVEMBER 7,1907.' S1> rage G | HERE’S A RECORD OF THE DAY’S DOINGS IN SPORTLAND lp E H.WHlflNG HERE’S A BUNCH OF FAMOUS FOOTBALL'PLAYERS ! Special Bargain! n«i.. r.n 11 mu* i_»» a.l !- 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, The “Eagle” Oak is the best low-priced Heater in the world. Only 50 at this price. Only 50 No. 11 “Ea- gle” Oak Heaters to be ? 'ld at this special price. Come early. 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 in your Home in your Home.
