SMITH WILL SCOUT THROUGH CENTRAL WHEN SOUTHERN SEASON HAS ENDED Manager Billy Smith la spending a lot of time these days studying Central league schedule* and consulting time tables of the railroads which VIII carry him to Grand Itaplds, Kprlngtteld. Canton, Dayton, Wheeling. Rrsnsvlllc, South Itend and Terre Haute. As soon as the season ends, he Is going to dash Into the Central League and see If anything Is stirring In the line of available players. Manager Hinltti believes that there Is a lot of good material In the Central I^cague, and that he can land some good players by draft. Anyway, he Is going up there to take a look around and to take a shy at the game. The Central League Is made up of good- slsed cities and fine baseball Is played there. All the teams ore fast, and most of the players In that league would rnuk pretty well with any players In the South ern League. Yet the Central League Is in Class II, and Is. therefore, subject to | draft from the Southern. Also, the Cen- ! tral League teams can lose two players, | Instead of one as In the Southern. lu con- ! sequence, the Atlanta team Is likely to "have some ex-Centml Leaguers on . r t wbiu f •he next seal on opens. Tom Hughes, the best Atlanta plt.'her, I will figure In the wind-up of the Ameri- - cat: League season, and possibly in tbo 1 world’a championship. Hughes will report | to 1 he New York team September la tti j Washington. Ho will protubly pitch his > last game In the Southern about September t IS, and will Jump right for Washington. With Clark (Irifflth straining every nerve In his attempt to win the Amerlcau League pennant, and with his pitchers pretty well worked out. It Is likely that lie will use Hughes quite a hit during the four weeks which will Intervene between the time Hughes reports and the end of the season. If New York wins the American league pennant, as now looks reasonably probable, and If Hughes pitches good ball for New York. It Is among the possibilities that the Atlanta player may figure lu world's championship. a* Dygert, of New Orleans, did last year—only more promi nently. Dygert was only there for a divi sion of spoils, while Hughes may get In the actual combat. . Spade has not reported up to yet, and It Is not likely that he will during the renmluder of the senton. Ills arm was hurt lu one of the games in Augusta, and he Is not In shape to pitch at present. Manager Smith bus about closed with John Fox to pitch a game or two before the sen Am ends. He needs a man to take Doc Cbllds’ place, and John Fox seems to t»e the man. Manager Matthews Scouting Through Virginia League Special to The Georgian. Savannah, tin..

Sept. 7.—An the time net for the rowing content between Cambridge and Harvard drawn near, lnterent In the American oaremen Increaaee. A great many complimentary thlngn are being said about the Yankees and a great many foollnh things ns well. The greatest Interest Is being expressed on the condition of the men and consider able mystery surrounds their method of training. Rumor hna It that the men are given a sort of "training mixture- each night, composed of a tablespoon ful of brimstone nnd treacle. Report la to the effect that night and morning men pnrtake of thick gruel and cod liver oil. When this report was told to one of the members of.the Harvard crew, who xvaa also to tell the secret of their fit ness, he snld: "I guess you'd like to know what It Is, all right, but you see ' It's a dead secret. Nobody will ex cept ourselves until after the race. It will come as a greet surprlsc.” (Srent Interest ts manifested In Lon don In the race, which will take place tomorrow, over the historic Thumoa course, from Mortlake to I-utney. Ever since the arrival of the Harvard crew In England the pnpere here have de voted columns to the work of the two . rights. In speaking of the event to day a representative of the Harvard crew said: "The Harvard men are In excellent condition and we are confident of vic tory tomorrow. While we naturally regret thnt (Hass will not be able to row, we regard Morgan as a satisfac tory substitute. We are entirely sat isfied with the course and with the ar rangements thnt hnve been made.” Regret Is.expressed that King Ed Ward will be unable to attend the race. The royul family will be represented, however, and It Is safe to say that there will be no more Interested spec tator among the thousands who will line the bunks of tho Thames than Prince Edward of Wales, who hus taken the Ilvellret Interest In the Har vard crew ever since Its arrival here. It Is believed that If the eight from tile other side of the Atlantic loses the race there will be a young scion of royalty minus some pocket money, though this Is u matter of which the young prince refuses to speak. Mnny high British officials have ac cepted Invitations to attend the race, nnd Ambassador Held and nil Hie at taches of the Amerlcnn embassy will be present. It Is tbs evident Intention of the English promoters of the contest to make It an International rather than n merely nthlftlc event. In the hope of thereby fostering the friendly rivalry of the two countries. Tho Cnmhrldge oarsmen are a strong, wiry crew with plenty of exporlenco and u good command of watermanship. The striking difference between tho llarvnrd nnd Cambridge crews Is that the Cambridge oarsmen catch much harder and at the finish go much far- A STORY ABOUT ARUNDEL Did any of you readers ever hear the story of -Tug" Arundel, the ' famous Chicago catcher, and how he lost a game some years, ago by giving chase to a struck-out batter? MrOraw Is reaisinslble for the tale, and If you have any doubts about It, ask him. The baees were full at the time, and Baltimore beetled three runs to win. Steve Brodle came up ami, after swinging viciously, mlssetl the third strike. Arundel always believed he could bent Hrodle running, and after ho dropped that third strike lie was determined to show him. "Tug" refused to throw the bull lo llfst, bill, living Into a rage, yelled "1 can catch you with web feet!" nnd started nfter the fleeing Brodle lo touch him with the hull. The teem wae yolllng like mad nt Arundel to throw the hall, but his' mind waa fsot" Past first they went like two thoroughbreds, and around the diamond the sprint continued. Brodle kept two feet ahead until they reached the home plate, and then for the first time Arundel realized thnt he bad chased In four runs und lost tho game.—New York Evening World.

An other very marked difference between the two crew* I* in the body awing. The Cambridge oarsmen go no further forward, but at the flnlsh they swing much further back than the Harvard men. The theory of this stroke I* that when the oarsmen get tired and their arms, legs and backs are hardly able to work, the weight of their bodies will still move the oars through the water and send the boat along. To compensate for their shorter body awing the Harvard men have a longer* slide. The Cambridge slides are rigged for 16 Inches and Harvard's for 2t Inches. Neither crew uses all the dis tance It can use, but Harvard probably slides five or six Inches further than Cambridge. Whether this additional HARVARD. II. M. Tappan. 169 R W, Flab, 166 I*. W.

The equipment of the two crews does not differ much. The Cambridge shell Is 63 feet long; Harvard's Is 60. The Cambridge oars are 12 feet, 3 Inches long; they have a 6-|nch blade and are used t feet, 8 1-3 Inches in board. The length of the blade Is 3 feet, 8 Inches. Harvard's oars are 12 feet, 2 Inches In length, of which 3 feet, 8 1*2 Inches Is Inboard (the same as Cambridge's); the blades of the Har vard oars are 6 1-4 Inches wide and 2 feet, 10 Inches long.

Bargains In unredeemed Diamond* 15 Decatur SL Kimball Housn It was with deep regret that the members of the Atlanta Athletic Club and the many tennis enthusiasts In Atlanta learned of the defeat of Nat Thornton in Cincinnati Thursday by Robert LeRoy, of New York. The lo cal man waa downed by scores of 6-2, 6-2. In many ways the showing of Thorn ton was the best ever made by any Southern tennis player. The Cincin nati tournament was the largest ever held on clay courts In this country and the class of the entries was very high. Krelgh Collins, the man Thornton beat Wednesday, has been tanked for the past eight years among the first tennis players In the United States, and he was one of the men sent to England this year In quest of the Dlvls trophy. To down a man of this cali- Thore seemed to lie something nliout the corves nnd shoots of Keith that Just suited Otto Jordan, for “Dutch" hit the ball three of the four times he was at bat. Aim* he stole home with neatness nnd dispatch wheu Fox wandered In on apparently aim- lesa manner off first base and kept the whole bunch of Traveler/ Interested for the desired length of time. ■ No better throw from the outfield has been made nt Piedmont park thla year than thnt of Wallace Thursday, when he caught Dougins' fly nnd doubled Kenitnerllng nt the plate. Smith stepped right where he wnnted the ball to come before Wallace had It In Ills hands, nnd Bob turned the ball back to him on . the fly nnd with such good atm that Sld did not have to move out of his tracks. .Poor Keminerllng was oat'so far that It was quite pitiful to see him trying to get home. Dick Ilarley Just naturally didn't ber was certainly a high honor for any Southern player. The showing of Thornton Is en couraging, as It show’s what Southern players have a chance to do on dirt courts. In the past Southern players Invading the North have gone to New port or elsewhere, where grass courts were used. These courts were entirely different from the ones which South ern players outside of New Orleans were used to, and they were so greatly handicapped by the change from one kind of a court to another that they never mode much of a showing. The work of Thornton leads Southern play ers to believe that they would have a good chance with any player* of simi lar experience In any part of the country. The officials of the Southern Tennis Association are much encouraged at the showing of the players sent from the South and will have a team In the trl-state tournament every year hereafter.
