JUDGE COBB FALLS
IN FAINT IN STREET
Judge Howell Cobb, of Athens, broth
er of Supreme Court Justice Andrew J.
Cobb, fainted In the lobby of the Kim
ball House Saturday from an attack
of acute Indigestion. He was tended
by Dr. S. T. Barnett at the hotel, and
later was carried to the Presbyterian
Hospital, where he was reported rest
ing easily. His brother stAted that lie
was subject to such fainting spells.
Mrs. Cobb has been summoned from
Athens.
HANDING ’EM THE “LEMONI"
Football Season Which Opens Next Month
Promises To Be Best Atlanta Ever Had
By BRIAN 8. BROWN.
Those residents of Atlanta who love
the gentle and lady-like game of foot
ball will have abundant opportunity
to gratify their tastes during the com
ing season. There will be fought out
at Tech park during the coming fall a
series of what should be the most
memorable games known to the history
of Southern colleges athletics, and un
less all signs fall, the Southern cham
pionship In football will be decided
upon tho same field whereon last May
the baseball championship was fought
out.
The schedulo of the eleven represent
Ing the Georgia School of Technology
will probably bo the heaviest of any
Southern college this year, embracing
as it does every team which now seems
to have a look-in at the championship
—Sewanee, Vanderbilt, Clemson and
Auburn. Present indications do not
point to Georgia as a candidate for
high plg-skln honors, yet Athens has a
football tradition that will go far to
ward the regeneration of the once
haughty Red and Black. Hopes are
expressed all over Georgia that the
change of coaches at Athens will result
In a much better team than represent
ed the institution on the gridiron last
year.
With Williams In charge at Clemson,
there should be no let-up of the high
standard which the Tigers havo main
tained'for years past.
Representing the technical school of
the two great states of South Carolina
and Georgia, Clemson and Tech have
been natural rivals for athletic honors
for years, and though tho palms of vic
tory were waved over the Old Gold nnd
White last Thanksgiving clay, Tech
feels that It will take several such
drubbings to wipe off the slate the 78-
to-0 defeat of 1903. Williams was the
only man who wns ever able to get the
decision over Helsman while the latter
was coaching Clemson, and now that
ho has left South Carolina college,
where football has been ahollshed, and
gone to Clemson, warm times may be
looked for there. Watch the prediction
that the Thanksgiving day game will
be a memorable one, with a memor
able crowd to witness It.
Vanderbilt! There we have the key
to the situation. Most authorities in
the South say that when the Gold and
Black of Tennessee meets the Gold and
White of Georgia that there will be
decided the real question ns to "who's
ho" In Dixieland. Those In a posi
tion to know, state that the material
that will line up for Dan McGugin’s
Inspection next month will not he near
up to the standard of List season, and
though no one doubts that he Is a good
coach, he will have to match his brains
against the smoothest artist In that line
the South has ever seen. Jack Heis-
i is a law graduate of Pennsylvania,
he <L>esn’t confine his plays to
those he learned at college. The fact
Is that he doesn’t use the same plays
any two reasons in KU4*eesslon, even
hen there Isn’t any change In the
rules. John Counseltnan was assistant
coach at Tech In 1904, and when he
ent to Cumberland last year he
thought he knew all of llcisman’s
plays and how to meet them, but so
skillfully did the “wizard*’ of South
ern football train his men that the
double pass which Counselman had
helped to drill fntt> the men the year
before waa worked right under hi*

very nose in such a way that the V. P.
I. man couldn’t see It.
Under the now' rules the grandfather
of football would hardly know the
game. Originality of attack and de
fense is going to count a whole lot and
Heismnn is nothing If not original.
With all due respect to every coach In
the South, he has done more with the
material entrusted to his care than any
other man who has ever attempted to
guide a Southern team to gridiron hon
ors.
Another team that is going to make
hard going for Tech Is the Orange and
Blue, of Auburn. Like Clemson, Au
burn is a technical school, and as Us
students play the best football in Ala
bama they aro natural rivals of the
Atlanta college.
Although Mike Donahue’s team
was weak Inst season, he Is no novice,
and may be depended upon to give a
good account of himself with this year’s
squad.
Sewanee is another college where
there is a football tradition and the
purple-clad Tigers may he looked for
to give the mighty Blacksmiths a
struggle as vicious as they did last
year when the best the two teams
could do was an even break—18 to 18.
I It looks as though Helsman Is going
to have to put up a half new team this
year. Day and Clark, two of last
year’s stars, are sure not to be back,
and the chances are Just about even
that Brown and “Red" Wilson have
played their last games. It w'as stated
at first that Billy Wilson, who Is due
to captain the bunch this year, would
not be back, but later developments
make It look as though the plucky lit
tle player will be there when the ref
eree blows his whistle for the first
down of the year. Another man who
will be badly missed Is Butler, who,
next to Kyle, waa considered the best
quarterback In the South last year.
He w'as conceded to be the finest Inter*
ferer who ever played In Atlanta.
Sam Roberts, who played such a star
game on Thanksgiving day, graduated
In June, but Is to be back for a course
in mechanical engineering, and will
probably be used to fill the gap at
quarter. Though light, he is one of
tho quickest men on his feet which
the game has developed. Selman, w'ho
played guard in most of the games last
season, will not be back.
Little things like breaking In a new
team have no terrors for a man of the
resourcefulness of Helsman, and when
the Atlanta public Journeys to Tech
park next October and November It can
expect to see playing that will be well
worth the price of admission, both by
the Blacksmiths and their rivals.
BADLY CRIPPLED TEAM
HEADS WESTWARD TONIGHT
Jim Fox haa blown back to town,
looking and feeling fine. But the
wound on hla arm la still In rather bad
condition. It baa not healed, and If
Jim usea his arm he will do xo at con
siderable risk. Whether he will be able
to play Saturday or the early part of
next week wHl depend chiefly on the
result of consultations with hla doc
tors.
Jimmy Archer's shoulder, which was
injured Monday when he did the
ground-and-lofty tumbling act at first
base, Is still In wretched condition, and
It Is not unlikely that he will not be
able to go out with the team for the
opening of the trip, though perhaps he
will be able to rejoin the bunch later.
Of Wallace’s condition nothing defi
nite Is known, except that he Is yet far
from well.
The Atlanta team pulls out Saturday
night on the Frisco train for Memphis.
The bunch will play three games
against Babb's Burglars, four against
Little Rock, Including a double-h.:,^,
Auamst 25, three games at Shreveport
and three against New Orleans POrt
Then they come back for the labor
Day opening and the final series at
home, at the end of which the team
disbands and the baseball season
over. 11
With the team badly crippled as it i.
local fans look with dismay on the
coming swing thrdugh the West Vn
less luck changes, It Is likely to he *
series of misfortunes, and there win he j
Just cause for thankfulness If the bunch
comes back with whole skins.

Pitcher Still of Richmond
Joins Atlanta September 1
Spsclal to The Georgian.
Portsmouth, Vn., Aug. 18.—“Colonel" Still,
the Richmond club’s crack twirier, has been
sold to the Atlanta baseball club of the
Southern League. He confirmed the report
that he will play with the Gate City team
on the Southern circuit nfter September 1,
when he will report to Manager Smith. Re
ports regarding the sale of Still to Atlanta
have been circulated widely on the Vlrglnlt
circuit of late, but Still would nevor talk
about It until today, when he admitted
that he will go south at the end ot this
month.
He Is s Kentuckian, and by profession a
newspaper man. He aspires to own a little
Sad, Funeral Notes Sounded
After the Fierce Slaughter
Friday always was an unlucky day.
Guess we'll have to transfer the title
of Burglars from Memphis to Mont
gomery.
The opening game was one of the
best of the season, but the locals are
so badly over-trained and over-strain
ed that they could not keep the pace
through tho second one.
Guess Doc Childs will be with us tor
awhile yet. He pitched nice ball Fri
day.

The Charge is Absolutely False
if
—BILLY SMITH,
Billy Smith was rightfully Incensed at the charge made by Charley
Frank that he had won two pennants In Macon by the use of "rubber
balls."
This charge Billy denies absolutely.
Such a denial Is hardly necessary, however, for any one who knows
Billy Smith feels confident that he would not resort to any such meth
ods. He Is the kind of a manager who takes advantage of any legitimate
opportunity, but whatever he* wins he wins on the square.
In answer to Charley Frank's charge Smith said:
"Any statement that I used rubber balls In Macon or anywhere else
is a deliberate falsehood. I have never used one, and do not expect to.
In fact. I never saw a rubber ball until I went to New Orleans on that
famous trip. Such a charge Is absolutely falie, as well as absolutely
absurd.”

job these days?
not been seen anywhere except on the
bench or on Peachtree street for these
many days.
If the team behind Childs had been
able to hit Maxwell the game would
have gone to Atlanta with a rush. But
the Pickle was rather too warm a prop
osition. Regular Dill.
Apperlous went to sleep when Win
ters came to bat In the fourth Inning
and strayed well over to the left end
of his territory. Bo when Winters sent
one down between center and left it
was out of Apperlous' reach. But Mc
Cann got under It and spoiled what
looked like a good single.
It was pretty hard luck that Perry
scored. A base on balls and a wild
pitch let the stubby third baseman get
to third base. When Perry ambled off
Childs throw In an attempt to catch
him. The hall went a trifle wide and
Smith dropped It.
Not a bad error by any means, but It
happened to he the unfortunate play
that lost the game.
No kick coming on Sid Smith,
though. He Is playing a beautiful
game at third and Is undeniably one of
the most valuable men on the team.
Apperlous nearly scored In the firs'
game. With two men down In the
fourth an error let him get to second
When McCann singled he tried to score
but Winters sent the ball to Jordan,
who relayed it to Evers and completed
the put-out Fine business.
Zeller pitched the widest "ball” of the
season Friday. Instead of going over
the plate It slid off Rube's fingers al
most at right angles to Its proper di
rection and brought up against the
grand stand. Fortunately no men were
on bases.
During the progress of the game
some admirer of Mullaney sent him
half a watermelon. This Dominick re
ceived with much thanks and ate as
the game progressed.
Apperioua made a lucky single In the
first Inning of the second game. Zeller
slapped the ball and almost stopped It
and Hoffman went In behind him and
picked It up nicely. Unfortunately Lar
ry’s balance became misplaced In the
shuffle apd he fell down. Before he
could throw the ball everybody wan
eafe.
Walsh has rather the most awkward
delivery seen at Piedmont this season,
but It is certainly effective. The At
lanta batters could do nothing with
him.
Archer made a great one-handed
catch Just before he had to give up In
the second game. Busch got away
with what looked like a hit, but Jeems
speared It.
Looks as though Augusta were hard
after the South Atlantic pennant
Handed another shut-out to Savannah
Friday.
Well, even If Atlanta did lose two
Birmingham won, so there Is a crumb
of comfort In the gloomy situation.
Loueka pitched fine ball for Memphis
against New Orleans. And Memphis
won. Gee. If this keeps up long Char-
lev Babb. Tom McCullough and every -
body else connected with Babb's Rur,.
lars will be fired.
Or maybe the New Orleans-Mem-
phls-Shreveport-LIttle Rock confeder
ation has nominated Memphis to win
the pennant tide year, since New Or
leans begins to appear out of It.
