CRACKERS AND BURGLARS
TIED FOR SECOND PLACE
Tied with Memphis at laat.
After nearly a month of hard fighting
the Crackers reached the coveted sec
ond place Wednesday afternoon, though
Just at present that nerth Is occupied
In company with the hated Burglars.
From now on It as case of “war to
the bat and bat to the handle”—and
then some between the two teams.
Each team now has 77 games won
and 65 lost.
If the Crackers win more from the
New Orleans team than Memphis can
from Mullnney's pets over In Mont-
f ornery. then second place and some
66 to a player goes to the Atlanta
men. If the reverse happens, then
down go the Crackers to third place.
The last three days of the league
season will see the light fought out
from first base to home plate, and times
« will be stirring.
There Is no danger but that the New
Orleans team will -do Jts best to keep
the Crackers from staying In second
place. There Is no large amount of
love lost between the players on the
two teams and less between the man
agers. These games are the Pelicans*
last chanc to get revenge, and doubt
less they will try to take it.
The Crackers are playing with ni
skill and luck well combined these
days, though, and are hard to beat.
If Mullaney can be counted on to
force his team to the limit against
Memphis, It looks like a good, chance
for an even break, at least for Atlanta.
But the Montgomery bunch Is pretty
far down In the league race, and It is
doubtful If the Legislators will extend
themselves to the limit against such a
bunch of hustlers as those Burglars
are.
However, It's up to Mullaney and His
crew. Here's hoping they do their best.

The second came wte la the teat In

wu at bat.
Pitcher Lee: "D-n-m-p" (and he aent.
■ straight one orer the plate).
The Bat: "Crack."
The Ball: "Ooebl" ,
Dijpro alienee for ten seoends, while the
ball sailed orer the center Holder's head
and landed In the deep fraes at the foot
: nf the center Held fence.
The Ball: "Here's where I loee my

Center Fielder Kin* (Searching vainly
I through the crane): "Where la that blank-
! ety, blank ball? Cose, cues, cuss, blank,
j blank blank I”
Larry Hodman (Steemlnc around second
and third tosrard home): ■•Pud, pud!"
Larry scores, the crowd yells Itself to
pieces, and drlfta away In afreet rare, nu
tomolillea and otherwise.
The Scoreboard: "Atlanta Rhrere

Bobby (Hike (Walking sadly homeward):
"And yet they call this baaelmll."
Slow curtain; end music.
, Such In brief le the drnmatle story of
the closing game of the Shreveport
rice.
The ttrst game wan a nice safe win
all the way for Atlauta. The Crackers tal
lied two In the drat Inning, and fU.sC '
the geme\for them. Zeller was Invincible
la every liinlng but the fourth, and In thnt
session ono run waa Hhreve|>ort's limit.
In the next game, Zeller tried It again,
and did well, but Shreveport got away
with a run In the llrst, and ns nobody
could seem to conotct with Leo's corrps
It looked like n "X to 0" llnsco.
In tbo eighth Inning rally, however, Zel
ler went safe on an error and scored on
Morse's bit, tying the score.
In the first half of the ninth, flhreve-
„port wee helpless before the gems "Rube,"
end la the test half Larry Hodman walked
to the bat and lost the ball Id the weeds.
Of conns. It wee a Hoke home run. The
ball waa bit bard, bnt It abould not hare
been good for more than two baacs.
However, It waa tha luck lu baeeball,
and It la a poor rule to kick against lack
when It comes your way.

By THE SENIOR OFFICE BOY.
Billy Smith Is ready for the trip he la
going to take when the season close*. He
will scout through the Central League for
new limiter to try out next season. Just
whnt thin trip will Mponnt to will lie seen
later. Billy has his eye on something and
Is sawing wood and saying nothing.
He Is out after new pitchers, a couple of
Inflelders, a catcher, and moat likely a
heavy hitting outfielder.
As Archer baa been drafted, no other At
lanta player la In danger of going to the
majors this season.
When the gong sounds for practice next
spring. Atlanta will have some new timber
to try out.
Pld Hmltb, who has Iwn showing great
form since he waa replaced t>ehlnd the
pan, will probably In* seen In the same po
sition next season. Nothing need be said
about “Hteeple" Jim, for he will most surely
In* on first. Jordan will hover on second,
nnd prolMtbly Morse will lw» nt short. Win
ters will surely he seer, In right field, for
It can safely be said that he la as good au
all-round player aa Is In the Southern
League today. If Bobby Wallace keeps on
hitting the ball he will In? seen In center
garden, for Bobby Is a fielder from away
(Nick. There Is a lot of talk thnt Croxler
will not In* seen In an Atlanta uniform nfxt
year, but from the way things look be
will report to Billy Smith In the spring.
Nothing has been said of it third baseman,
which Billy has been In need of all the
year. Hoffman has t#eeu playing great hall
since rejoining the team. It seems that he
is In a habit of doing very unexpected
things these days.
Now, for the pitchers. If Billy can land
another Tom Hughes and a second "Rube"
Zeller we will be satisfied. Bnt pitchers like
these two do not hsng a round doing noth
ing. Hughes and Zeller hnve done the bulk
of the ^Itching this season, nnd If Atlanta
bad had another one like Hughes Birming
ham would not have hail the pennant cinch-
"Rube" will likely wear an Atlanta
uniform next spring.
With nny kind of luck next year and a
bunch of good players Billy will show Dad
Vaughan and Charley xsahh what be would
have done this season rTth good luck.
Thursday afternoon the first regular
football practice will be held on Tech
field.
Wednesday Coach Helsman and a
few meh were out and at work, but the
regular reporting day has now arrived
and Tech gridiron will be a busy place
every afternoon from now to \he sunset
of Thanksgiving Day.
Little can be told about which men
will be back or about the new material
for a day or two. Captain Wilson will
be on hand and a good bunch of last
year's men. The new material Is re
ported to be good nnd altogether things
look bright out at Tech.
Rumor has ft that To„ >au “
changes In the style of play will bi i.
troduced by Coach Helsman, in ord«
to take full advantage of the new nil—
Tech la fortunate (hit year in hav 2
a coach who not only knows fi W |'
but who thinks. It Is doubtful If ...
coach In the country has made a
e. refill .lnitv nf .he “more
careful study of the game nr ran h.i

are going to work out. 1
Some sensational football may
expected on Tech field this year'
the early practice will be watched with
unusual Interest.
New Football Rules From
Prep School View Point
Much haa been said and written abont
the effect of the new football rule*
on the college game and very little
about Ita effect on the prep school
game. While the youngsters piny tinder
the same rule* as their older brothers,
yet the game they put np differs in
many reaped*.
The Georgian, therefore, asked Frank
J. Blake, the most successful prep
school coach In the entire Houth, for
hla views ou the new rules, and they
are given helow.
By FRAnITj. BLAKE.
I am at a loss Just what to say In re
gard to the new rules. ,
1 am afraid my opinion, ns compared with
the more expert anthorltlea of Atlnntn
and the vicinity, on the new rules, would
he of little value to .you or the puld!|.
and I would really prefer to keep out of
the limelight of publicity as far as prac
ticable.
As to the rules, I fall to nee the necea-
slty of such radical changes ao far as
the game aa played In the South nnd West
last season, la concerned. True, In the
east matters were In a and plight, but judg
ing from the success of the western and
southern teams, I should say the fault In
the east was due to the players and
not to the rules of the game as ployed
In 1906.
As to what will be the result or effect
of the changes, thnt can Ik* told only
after they hnve been thoroughly tested In
ploy.
I am afraid the offense has been too
severely handicapped by the 10-ynrd rule.
It would hare been much more conserva
tive to have allowed, at least, four downs,
Instead of throe, for the necessary 10 yards.
By thus handicapping the offense, I should
think that the roughness of the game,
thnt the determination to gain
creaaed, will he proportionately greater
However, I think there will be fewer f«.
tnlltles under the uew rules, but the broket
limbs will be more numerous than erer
jn the history of the game.
Every football players knows It Is more
dangerous to make a flying tackle
thus tackled than It Is to be tarklei
the line, nnd as the rules are
structed os to increase the open field play,
so will the injuries due to inch play
brought to a maximum.
The forward pass, a very radical ohnnge,
while It greatly aids the offend*, will ai M
prove dangerous to the runner. The rule
specifies that the hall shall be cleanly han
dled, and In order to do ao, a player
will, while on a dead run down the field,
Jn* looking back to receive the ball, and
while In this position may lie suddenly
tackled by an opponent.
The outside kick is n good one, nnd
intended to assist the offense and at
snme time weaken the defense by keeping
extra man In the back field to ukt
care of these punt*.
The rule prohibiting nny of the flr«
center men from being drawn hack
the line, unless they are, at leant, 5 yards
bnek (and then one of the backs mc«t
take his place In the line), will have
very strong effect on the offense. Hardly
play was made last yenr but that one
of these tnenwns drawn from Ids position
and used very effectively, either In car*
rylng the ball or In the Interference.
Hummed up as a whole, it seems to
thnt the weak teams hnve been mad*
weaker and put more at the mercy of the
irons ones, the very thing which the
inmilttoe was trying to obviate.
The bn In nee of the changes are of minor
Importance, and will not greatly effect tbt
piny-
O’Brien Will Fight Burns
40-Round Bout For $20,000
By W. W. NAUGHTON.
Han Francisco, Cal;, Kept. 13.—Heavy
weight Jack O’Brien will not be on
steamer Sierra tomorrow when she sails
for tho Orient. He has postponed his
trip because be has been matched with
Tommy Burns for a contest of forty
rounds and a purse of $20,000. The affair
will take place at Arvndla, near Los An
geles, and the prize money will be fur
nished by the Arcadia Athletic Club, of
which "Lucky" Baldwin Is a prominent
O'Brien had waited all day for some
news from Ham Berger, who had promised
to fight him If he postponed his trip to
Australia. A few days ago, Eddie Graney
offered a purse of $16,000 for the Berger-
O’Rrlen match. Jack Gleason said that the
amount was not large enough, but O'Brien
had hoped thnt Berger would he Induced
to swept it. Graney kept the wire* hot
today telegraphing Berger, who la In the
east, but received no answer. At 9 o’clock
Inst night, O'Brien bad his mind made to
go to Australia,
When O’Brien received nows of the Ar
cadia offer, he said:
"That settles it. The match with Bill
Squires can atand orer. I will stay her*
now, even If the go with Burns hang* lire
for a few days. When he Is ao anxloui
meet roe, nnd the Arcadians are so willing
to hnug up a $20,000 purse, something most
come of It. Burns, I understand, has pnt
up 11,000 with The Lo* Angeles Examiner,
will cover Burns' forfeit, and the match
Is on. As to tho division of the purse,
will leave thnt to Burns, with tne under
standing thnt the winner receives not lwi
thau 75 per cent. If he wishes, we will
fight on a winner take jUl basis."
The terms were wired to Los Angela
mid within uu hour news was received tlwt
the Arcadia Club would post a certified
check for $20,000 with The Ieos Angeles Ei*
nmlncr. The promoters will leave the
lection of the date to the pugilists, anil
O’Brien stipulates that *ue contest takt
place within the next two months. Th*
only term* Imposed by the club are that
the articles will provide for forty round*.
If necessary, nnd thnt the contest moat *
for tho heavyweight championship of tue
world.
