Springfield. Canton, Dayton, Wheeling, Evansville, South Bend and Terre Haute. As soon ns the season ends, lie Is going to dash into the Central League and see If anything Is stirring In the line of available playera. Manager Smith believes that there Is a lot of good material In the Central League, 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- sited cities and line baseball Is played there. All the teams ore fast, and most of the players In that league would rank pretty well with any players In the South ern League. Yet the Central League is In Claas B, and Is, therefore, subject to | the time Hughes reports and the end of draft from the Southern. Also, the Cen- j the season. tral League teams can lose two players, | If New York wins the American league Instead of one as In the Southern.

Putney. Sept 7.—A* the time eet for the rowing contest between Cambridge urn! Harvard draw, near. Interest In the American oarsmen Increases. A great many complimentary things are being said about the Yankcea and a grlat many foolish 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 has It that the men lire given a sort of “training mixture” i itch night, composed of a tablespoon- fill of brimstone und treacle. Report Is to the effect that night and morning men partake of thick gruel and cod liver oil. When this report was told to one of the members of the Harvard crew, who waa also to tell the secret of their fit ness, he said: "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 great surprise.” Hreat Interest is manifested In Lon don In the race, which will take place tomorrow, over the historic Thames < rang from Mortlake to Putney. Ever Mnce the arrival of the Harvard crew In England the papers hero have de emed columns to the work of the two eights. In speaking of the event to day a representative of the Harvard . crew said: "The Harvard men are In excellent condition and wo are confident of vic tory tomorrow. While we naturally regret that Glass will not be able to row, wo regard Morgan as a satisfac tory substitute. We are entirely sat isfied with the course and with the ar rangements that have been made." Regret Is expressed that King Ed ward will bo unable to attend'thc rac». The royal family will he represented, however, and It Is safe to say that there will be no more Interested spec tator among the thousands who will lino the bunks of the Thames than Prince Edward of Wales, who has taken the liveliest Interest In tho Har vard crew ever since Its arrival here. It is believed that If the eight from tho other side of the Atlantic loses the race there will be a young scion of royalty minus some pocket money, though this Is a matter of which the young prlnco refuses to speak. Many high British officials have ac cepted Imitations to attend the race, and Ambassador Relil and all the at taches of the American embassy will bo present. It is th. evident Intention of the English promoters of the contest to make It an International rather than a merely athletic event,' tn the hope of thereby fostering the friendly rivalry of the two countries. The Cambridge oarsmen are a strong, wiry crew with plenty of experience and a good command of watermanship. The striking difference between tho Ilnrvard and 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 readera over hear the story of 'Tug” Arundel, the famous Chicago catcher, and how he lost a game some years ago by giving chaso to a atruck-out batter? McQraw la responsible for the tal* and If you have any doubts about it, nsk him. The bases were full at tho time, and Baltimore needed three runs to win. Steve Brndle came up nnd. after swinging viciously, missed the third strike. Arundel always believed he could bent Brodle running, and after he dropped that third strike ho was determined to show him. “Tug” refused to throw the bull to first, but. Hying Into a rage, yelled “I can catch you with web feet!” nnd sturted nfter the tiering Brodle to touch him with the ball. The team was yelling like mad at Arundel to throw the hall, but his mind was "sot.” Past first they went like two thoroughbreds, and mound the diamond the sprint continued. Brodle kept two'feet ahead until they reached the homo plate, and then for the first time Arundel realized that lie had chased In four runs and lost the game.—New York Evening World. ther back than their opponents. An other very marked difference between the two crews Is In the body swing. Tho Cambridge oarsmen go no further forwnrd, but nt tho finish they swing much further back than the Harvard men. Tho theory of this stroke la that when tho oarsmen get tired and their nrms, 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 swing the Harvard men have a longer slide. The Cambridge slides are rigged for IS Inches nnd Harvard’s for 22 Inches. Neither crew uses all the dis tance It can use, but Harvard probably slides nve or six Inchea further than Cambridge. Whether this additional HARVARD. n. M. Tappsn. IS) H. W. Flail, 165 P. w, Flint, ice ' II. Morgan, Jr.; 187. length of slide Is more effective than a longer body awing Is a question which only rowing experts are able to answer. The equipment of the two crews does not differ much. The Cambridge shell Is (3 feet long; Harvard's Is 60. The Cambridge oars are 12 feet, 3 Inches long; they have a 6-Inch blade and are used 3 feet, 8 1-1 Inches In board. The length of the blade Is 2 feet, 8 Inches. Harvard's oars are 13 feet, 2 Inches In length, of which 3 feet, 8 1-3 Inches Is Inboard (the same as Cambridge’s); the blades of the Har vard oars are 6 1-6 Inchea wide and 2 feet, 10 Inches long.

The Crackers won Just about the way the dope figured out, and had easy sailing all the way, finishing In good trim, while Lit* tie Rock waa "all In" when the wire was reached. I'p to the eighth Inning, Atlanta had only two ran*, which were hard earned by superior baseball—or. perhaps, because of Little Rock's Inferior playing. In the eighth, though. Hid Smith lit on Keith for a two-bagger, and right at thab point the slab-sided I'nlverstty of Arkansas wonder split an Inner tutie and exfdoded violently. Before the Atlantans bad finished making bits and the Travelers had completed their mlsiltrected fielding efforts, four runs had been tal lied. Harley pitched s good game, nml seems to be nt himself again. He soaked three Travelers In the slats, but otherwise bis pitching was all that could be de* sired.

SPEEDY TEAM AT DAVIDSON Special to The Georgian. Davidson. X. C„ Hept. "—Football pros- pecta at Davidson college are good this fall. Several of the obi team men have returned, and there Is a large amount of new material. Graham, who coached the University of Virginia team a few years ago, will ar rive tomorrow nnd begin wi>rk at once. Williams, the last year’s coach, who Is to he with the Clemson team this year. Is expected to* spend a week In Davidson 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 tho 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 rarfked for the past eight years among the first tennis players In the United States, and he waa one of the men sent to England this year In quest of the Dlvls trophy. To down a man of this caii- There seemed to be something about tho curves and shoots of Keith that Just suited Otto Jordan, for "Dutch" hit the ball three of the four times he was at bat. Also he stole home with neatness nnd dispatch when Fox wandered In an apparently alm- lesa manner off first base and kept .the whole bunch of Travelers interested for the desired leugth of time. No better throw from the outfield has been math* at Piedmont park this year than that of Wallace Thursday, when he caught Dougins* fly nml doubled Kenunerllng nt the plate. Smith stepped right where be wnuted the ball to come before Wallace bad It lu bln bands, nml Bob turned the ball back to him on the fly and with such goo4t aim that Kid did not have to move out of his tracks. Poor Kenunerllng was out so fnr that It was quite pitiful to see him trylug to get home. Dirk Ilnrley Just naturally didn’t rare which of them he hit Thursday, nuil among those soaked were Bird, McKay and Kern- her was certainly a high honor for any Southern player. The showing of Thornton Is en couraging, as It shows 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 uned. 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 ons kind of a court to another that they never made much of a showing. The work of Thornton leads Southern play ers to believe that they would have a good chance with any players of simi lar experience In any part of the country. The officials of the Southern Tennl* Association are much encouraged at the showing of the players sent from the South and will have a team In the tri-state tournament every year hereafter. Fonr dotihlo_ plays Is "pretty numerous," but that was the number uncorked Thurs* day. Bernle McKay was a bit over-snxloni when the game opened, nnd he committed a couple of errors. Then he steadied, and hnd an awful afternoim's work. He ac cepted eleven rhnnrcs. • Bernle will make Little Rock a good man, nml certainly over* anxiety Is ho uncommon on the Little Rook team ns to be commendable.
