TECH BOYS WORK OVERTIME SPORT NEWS —EDITED BY- PERCY H. WHITING TO GE7 READY FOR SA TURD A Y SOUTHERNERS DID PITCHING IT WA8 SPARK8 AGAIN8T BRADY AT PHILADELPHIA THE OTHER DAY. A game wan played In Philadelphia Tuesday which Interests Southern x baseball fans, for Sparks, the Georgia boy, pitched for Philadelphia, and Brady, who was with Little Hock last year, did the twirling for Pittsburg. Abateln, who was drafted by Pittsburg * from Shreveport, batted for- Brady In the ninth Inning, but did not succeed In getting a hit. Here Is what one of the Philadelphia papers had to say about the game: / "The Phillies got a way with the opening game with Pittsburg yester day In a well-played game by 4 to 8. A little good luck In the first inning and hefty swatting In the fifth gave the Phillies Just enough runs to bent out the Pirates by a tally. There was plenty doing during the one hour and forty minutes to Interest the 1,796 spec- tutors, especially In the eighth Inning, when Sparks crawled out of a tight hole without a run being scored. *•Sparks was hit only In spots, but outside of Fred Clarke ho had the rest of the slugging Pirate crew guessing. The manager, captain and left fielder clouted the gentle Southerner without mercy, he getting two triples and a , double out of four times up. In fact, Clarke's batting was the only thing which kept the Pirates In the game, as Fred was Instrumental In scoring two of the three runs the Smoke Town artists tallied. "Leaver only pitched the first Inning, and although but one hit was made off Jhlm for the starter he gave way to ; young Brady, who was at one time a , Quaker twlrler. Brady pitched swell ball for the Little Rock Southern 1 League club this summer, and he has jbeen drafted by the Pirates. Brady Is (a Clayton, N. 4., boy and well known , In South Jersey baseball circles. He pitched a good article of ball and nut- aide pf the fifth inning succeeded In keeping the Quaker^ from nearing. Hie drop ball played havoc with most of the local players and he "wlffed" six of them in regular Mathewson order. But bunched blngoes In the fifth ln- hlng were his undoing." PEACEFUL END TO LONG FEUD GEORGETOWN AND VIRGINIA AT LA8T RENEW THEIR ATHLET IC RELATION8. Washington, D. C., Sept. 27.--The athletic breach which existed between Georgetown and VJrjrinBi for Jour yearn was closed Sunday when the athletic associations of the two universities held special meetings In the two cities at the same hour and decided that it Is In the best Interest ot all concerned that relations be rent wed. Tnless pres ent plans miscarry, a footbull game will be played In this city this fall. After the footbull game of 1901, which was won by Georgetown, 17 to It, after one of the hardest struggles aver witnessed on a local gridiron, some feeling arose because of charges of In eligibility, and finally all relations were severed, In the four years' interim many t fforls to bring about peace were maae, but It was not until about three weeks ago that negotiations were start ed which culminated in the resump tion of relations. Certain influential Virginia undergraduates and alumni intimated to C. M. Berry, captain of the Georgetown team of 1901, that Virginia was w illing to consider a reconciliation, and It was decided to have Virginia •end a committee to this city to meet a Georgetown committee and tulk over the matter. The Virginia committee was com posed of Professor W. A. Lambert, a member of the faculty athletic com mittee, and C. 8. McVeigh. George town was represented by Branch Bo- cock, captain of the football team, and Thomas Kirby. These two committees linet at the University Club, in this iclty, a week ago yesterday, and drew up a tentative code of rules that were to govern contests between the univer sities. This code was satisfactory, and jit was decided to meet at Charlottes- l vl!le before' finally submitting the i agreement to the athletic associations for ratification. At the Churlottosvlllo meeting last i Saturday it was decided that It was better not to attempt to change the codes of tho universities, and finally It was agreed to havo the eligibility rules of the two universities govern the re spective teams. It was in this form that the negotiations were submitted to the two athletic associations at yester day's meetings. 0OOOOOOOO$OOOOOOOOO«»O<hM»D O COACH WRAY MAY O O LEAVE HARVARD CREW.

Tilson will face each other Thursday afternoon on the Hast Lake golf course of the Atlanta Athletic Ulub In the final round for the Trawick cup, and the golf champion ship of Atlanta. The match ought to bo a corker. As Infrequently happens, the mutch play has weeded out the players In such a fashion that apparently tho two' best men under the conditions face each other In the Inst round. Both men play u long, hard-hitting game, are ns strong In trouble ns on tho fair green and arc probably capable of taking a majority of matches away from any other men In the club. To get to the finals Byrd was forced to play W. I*. IIIIl. These two inen are annual opponents for the Trawick cup and between them have won nil which have been offered. Mr. Hill was hope lessly outclassed on the Hast Luke course. His sternly, short, accurate game which played havoc with his opponents over the Piedmont course was not long enough for tho all but Interminable 6,790 yards of the East Lake course and he almost nlwnys found himself playing the odd after the drive from every hole. Mr. Byrd was hammering out his drives from 200 to 250 yards and doing wonders with his brassy and mid-iron. In tho match Wednesday Mr. Byrd W’on the first five holes In succession. This gave him the match for all practi cal purposes and from that point lie played everything safe. He crossed the lake and started on the return Journey three up and this lead he Increased by the hole, and won the match, four up and three to piny. The other matches are being played off as rapidly as the weather and other conditions will allow. J. O. Darling won hie match In the seml-tinnl round of tho second cup from J. 8. Cothran, five up and four to play, and looks the winner of the second cup. In the third Might Latimer beat Gay, 5 nnd 4: W. K. Stone beat Hammond, 2 and 1, and Tlchenor beat Htovall, 3 nnd 2. “The Course Will Be One of Few Good Ones in Country 99 ELC After the new East Lake course was ensured n few weeks ng«>, there wiis n ■gulnr panic among the more timid golf-' •*, mid the fear wus expressed that the rourse was too long nnd that the bogey rlgiimlly plauned by Thouma ftendelow, rha laid out the course, w.i* too low.

It was In the pahuy days of the Brotherhood. Tun was a good pitcher, but never could win. Just when he would seemingly have a game sowed up some Infielder would let a ball get by and the game would Im* gone. Tim tried everything from carrying a buckeye In Ills left hind poefcot to eatelling a rabbit at midnight In some popular grave yard and wearing his left hlml foot for n watch charm. Finally h«» decided on a horseshoe to head off the hard luck streak, and while going to the park one day he picked up one and stuck U In the hip [se’ket of his uniform. It was lit* day to pitch, nnd he kept It there. The game wns progressing nicely until he gave u base on (mils aud big Dnit Brouthers came up. Tim handed Dan a wide out- curve, and—well, that ball shot straight bo«k like a bullet. Tim couldn't face the drive, so he turmd his back, nnd with n smash the ball struck the horseshoe In his hl|» pocket. Hcinarkrtble to relate, the ball from stuck ou a horsesUotf null, stud try us Uc city. eotild, O'Malley couldn't pull It loose. In the meantime the runner was crossing the plate and Brouthers was beating It to third. Tim knew not what to do, but suddenly a bright thought struck him and be da slu'd over to third Just ns Brouthers was sibling Into the hag. The only way Tim could touch him was to hack up and sit down, mid down he came oil Brouthers' back. ••Even at that,” relates Tim. "my hsnl luck was not broken.

Newberry. ft C., Sept. 27.—There is n great ileal of counterfeit money now In circulation In these parts, the tlrst to make Its appearance In Newberry being presented by two negroes. Walter Franklin and Kd Worthy. The negroes’ game wns to go to a store with live sil ver dollars and nsk for paper money In exchange.

Their game wns detected however, nnd the negroes left for purta unknown. Bean Infuses New Life Into Tech ’s Fast Second Team Viewing the Tech practice Wediyadny af ternoon one might note u slender man In football toga, including » light yellow sweater, who stayed Just buck of the scrub line nnd shouted encouragement to the hard- pushed scrubs and seemed to be In general charge of thut end of the practice. Occa sionally when the 'varsity had the ball nml some big fellow would break away for a run thnt looked good for u touchdown this same slender player would make a dive for the runner, nml you can Just nut It down thnt he never fulled to get his man In quiry elicited the fact that the new innn was Joe Bean, the famous end who played such a wonderful game for Tennessee two rears ago, when the Knoxville men held Ifelsmun s Yellow Jackets down to the piti ful score of 2 to 0. Bean's playing that day wns easily worth the price of admission. Tech lias secured Beau ns coach for the scrubs, and It looks ns though n wise choice has been made, llenn knows the game from kick-off to goal, and he Isn’t afraid to play It either, and If lie succeeds In drilling Into his scrubs hit It the ability ho hits he will have done well. Few realise the vital necessity of n well coached scrub squad. Without tills the very best conch can do little with Ids ’varsity men, as the Scrubs are the anvil «n which he beats out nml trie* Ids men, nnd If there Is a weak nnd Inefficient scrub squud the ’varsity Is apt to be up lu the air when they tackle a hardened set of opponents on the field With a g»xsi hunch of scrubs who can plue the game altmmt as well ns the •varsity a coach lias n large load taken off Ids mind, nnd can go ahead nnd experiment with Ids new formations, and have a pretty good bleu of bow they will work against a good strong team. Another thing Is thnt a good pushing scrub team keeps the regulars on the Jump, especially with such a conch as Uclsmuu, who plays no favorites and puts a man In or out purely on Ids worth. This Is a quality that has won many a game for him. There has never lieen even n whis per sf favoritism ou any team thut llela- man has coached. Next Mitnrdny will be n crucial time for tho Yellow Jackets. Maryville Is ssld to * strong team nnd n good conch, nml can safely be made that the game will be a good deni more Interesting for the specta tor than In the past. Tne great trouble at the Tech Is lack of veterans who know llclsmnu's system of play. This will be overcome In u few weeks, but It Is going to count against them good nnd hard In the first game or two. The game thnt Is worylng the hnlrs gray In llelsnmn's head Just uow Is that with Sewnuee, which comes on Octol»er 18, Just three weeks from next Saturday. Since the "dog fnll" of last year each team will be on Its mettle, nnd n royal battle will doubt less ensue.
