TECH BOYS WORK OVERTIME SPORT NEWS —EDITED BY— PERCY H. WHITING gSSBBBSSSSKBSKSKSSKS^^ SOUTHERNERS DID JTTCHING IT WAS SPARKS AQAIN8T BRADY AT PHILADELPHIA THE OTHER DAY. TO GE 7 READ Y FOR SA TURD A Y MAJOR MOGUL MUST DELIVER A game was played In Philadelphia Tuesday which Interests Southern baseball fans, for Sparks, the Georgia boy, pitched for Philadelphia, and Brady, who was with Little Rock last year, did the twirling for Pittsburg. Absteln, 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 paper* had to say about the game: “The Phillies got away with the opening game with Pittsburg yester day In a well-played game by 4 to 3. A little good luck In the firHt inning and hefty swatting In the fifth gave the Phillies Just enough runs to beat out the Pirates by a tally. There wo* plenty doing during the fine hour and forty minutes to Interest the 1,796 spec tators, 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 he had the rest of the slugging Pirate crew guessing. The manager, cAptaln 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 bnttlng 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. “Leever only pitched the first Inning, and although but one hit was made off him for the starter he gave way to young Brody, who was at one time a Quaker twlrler. Brady pitched swell ball for the Little Rock Southern League club this summpr. and he has been drafted by' the Pirates. Brady is a Clayton, X. J., boy and well known in South Jersey baseball circles. He pitched a good article of- ball and out side of the fifth Inning succeeded In keeping the Quakers from scoring. HI* 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 In ning were his undoing.” PEACEFUL END TO LONG FEUD GEORGETOWN AND VIRGINIA AT LA8T RENEW THEIR ATHLET IC RELATIONS.

WITH THE FIGHTERS Byrd Defeated Hill and Meets Tilson in Finals Washington, D. C., Sept. S7.--The athletic breach which existed between Georgetown and Virginia (or four yeurs 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 of all concerned that relations be renewed. Unless pres ent plans miscarry, a football game will be played In this city this fall. After tho football game of 1901, which was won by Georgetown, 17 to It, after one of the hardest struggles ever witnessed on a local gridiron, some feeling arose because of charges of In eligibility, and Anally all relation, were severed. .In the four years' Interim many efforts to bring about peace were made, hut It was not until about three ' week, ago that negotiations were start ed whilst 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 willing to consider a reconciliation, and. It was decided to have Virginia send a committee to this city to meet a Georgetown committee and talk over the matter. The Virginia committee was cmn- posed of Professor \V. A. Lambert, a member of the faculty athletic com mutes, and C. 8. McVeigh. George town was represented by Branch Bo- cock, captain of the football team, and Thomas Kirby. These two committees met at the University Club, In this city, 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) It was decided to meet at Charlottes ville before Anally submitting the sgreement to the athletic associations lor ratification. At the Charlottesville meeting last Saturday It was decided that It was better not to attempt to change the codes of tho universities, and finally It was agreed to have the eligibility rules of the two universities govern the re spective teams, it was m this form that the negotiations were submitted to the two athletic associations at yester day’s meetings.

Byrd and IV, J, Tilson will face each other Thursday ufterhonn on the Kail Lake golf course of the Atlanta Athletic Club In the Anal round for the Trawlck cup, and the golf champion ship of Atlanta. The match ought to be a corker. As Infrequently happens, the match play has weeded out the players in such a fashion that apparently the two best men under the conditions face each other In the last round. Both men play a long, hard-hitting game, are as strong In trouble as on the fair green and are probably capable of taking it majority of matches away from any other men In the club. * To get to the finals Byrd was forced to play W. P. Hill. These two men arc minimi opponents for the Trawlck cup and between them have won all which hnve been offered. Mr. Hill was hope lessly outclassed nn the East Lake course. His steady, short, accurate game which pluyed havoc with his opponents over the Piedmont course was not long enough for the alt but Interminable 6.790 yards of the East Lake course and he almost always found himself playing the odd after the drive from every hole. Mr. Byrd was hammering out his drives from 200 to 290 yards and doing wonders with his brassy and mld-lron. In the match Wednesday Mr, Byrd won the first five holes In succession. This gave him the match for all practi cal purposes and from that point he 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 play. The other mutches are being played off ns rapidly ns the»weather and other conditions will allow. J. o. Darling won his match In the semi-final round of the second cup from J. s. Cothran, five up and four to play, and looks the winner of the second cup. In the third flight Latimer beat Gay, 9 and 4; W. K. Stone beat Hammond, 2 and 1, and Tlchenor beat Stovall. 3 and 2. The Course Will Be One of Few Good Ones in Country” —THOMAS BENDELOW. After the new East Lake course wn* measured n few week* ago, there was a refill*r panic among the more timid golf- aud the fenr was expressed that, the course was too long and that the Imgny originally pinutied by Thomas Bendelow, who laid out the course, was too low. F. G. Hyrd, who hss the course In ehsrge for the club, wrote Mr. ltendelow, giving him the new distance* nnd Hiking Itls opln- lou ns to toe desirability of n ehnnge In length or tmgey. Here Is Mr, IU-ndrlow's repW—and in read- lug It, It may do to remember that us »n expert on laying out golf courses, Mr. Dendlow Is without nn equal In the t nlted Plate*. mid, perhaps. In tho world. The letter follows: “Mr. K. G. Byrd, Atlanta, Gn.-Daar Mr. Byrd: Your favor of the Wh at fcjiaJ, and am glad to bear from you. I would not for s single tnstnut change the length of the course, as your measurements are a little stretched out; I mean by Hint lhar your measurements from the back of the tee to the tuck of the green would prolxibly pull from Hi to 20 yards on each hole; we will couple tr aba* the nature cf thf ground —which makes the course shorter—-because yon drlrq^p bole as a trow file*. “There is only one bole that 1 wm.U have changed In auy wty or shnpe, and that Is the fifth one; but really I don’t think you need to; It will tie a change anyway, as It Is. Leave the whole busi ness as It Is, and If you get ft In good shape you will have one of the few good courses In the.country. “I hsve had n good deni of criticism on It already, am! they hnve nil been ex tremely f avertible. “I will,until you the score card you sent with tho bogey, which I think will Im* satisfactory. With kind regards. 1 remain yours truly, T. BENDELOW.” The bogey score ns suggested by Mr. Dendlow follows: HOLE— BOGEY- LENGTH— ! League Standings Clubs. Chicago . . . New York . . Pittsburg. .

C., Sept. 27.—There Is a great deni of counterfeit money now In circulation In these parts, the first to make Its nppearance In Newberry being presented by two negroes, Walter Franklin and Ed Worthy.

Bean Infuses New Life Into Tech’s Fast Second Team Viewing the Tech practice Wednesday af- teruoon one might note, u slender mun in football togs. Including a light yellow sweater, who stayed Just back of the scrub line and shouted encouragement to the bard- pushed scrubs and seemed to be In general charge of that end of the-practice. Occa sionally when the 'varsity had the bell and some nig fellow would break awny for a run that looked good for a touchdown this same slender player would make a dive for the rtinner, and you can Just put It dotfn that be never fulled to get his man In quiry elicited the fact that the new man was Joe Bean, the famous end who played such n wonderful game fur Tennessee two years ago, when the Knoxville men held llelMiuau's Yellow’ Jackets down to the piti ful score of 2 to 0. Benn's playing that day wns easily worth the price of admission. Tech has secured Bean as coach for the scrubs, and it looks ns though a wise choice hns been made. Bean knows the game from kick-off to goal, and he Isn't afraid to piny It either, mud Jf he succeeds in drilling Into r .. - well -•onehed scrub squad. Without this the very best coach can do little with his 'vnrslty men, oh the scrubs are the anvil on which he bents out and tries his men, nnd If there Is a weak and Inefficient scrub squad the ’varsity 1* apt to be up In the air when they tackle a hardened set of opponents ou the field With a good buqch of scrubs who can play the game almost as well ns the 'varsity a coach has alar ' bis mlml, and can go nheai with his new formutlous, Him nave n preny good Idea of how they will work against a good strong team. Another thing Is that a good pushing scrub tenm keeps the regulars on the Jump, especially with.such a coach as Helsninn. who play* no favorites nnd puts a man In or out purely on his worth. This Is a quality that hns won mnny n game for him. TheYe hns never l>cen-4»vcu a whis per of favoritism on any team that Hels- man has coached. Next Saturday will be a crucial time tor the Yellow Jackets. Maryville Is said to hsve a strong team and a good coach, and this Is a season of uncertainties Atlantans will hats & chance to see the new rules tried out for the first time, end the promise can safely be made that the nme will be a good deal more Interesting for the specta tor than In the past. The great trouble at the Tech is lack of veterans who know Helsman's system of play. This will be overcome in a few weeks, but It Is going to count against them good and hard In the first game or two. New York.
