SOUTHERNERS
DID PITCHING
IT WAS SPARKS AGAINST BRADY
AT PHILADELPHIA THE
OTHER DAY.
A game was played In Phlledelphla
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.
Abateln, who was drafted by Pittsburg
from Shrereport, batted for Brady In
the ninth Inning, but did not succeed
In getting a hit.
Here la 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 3.
A little good luck In the first Inning
and hefty swatting In the fifth gave the
Phillies Just enough runs to beat out
the Pirates by a tally. There was
plenty doing during the one 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, captain and left fielder
clouted the gentle Southerner without
mercy, he getting two triples and u
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.
"Leever only pitched tho first Inning,
and although but one hit was made off
him tor 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
'League club this summer, and he has
been drafted by the Pirates. Brady la
a Clayton, N. J„ boy and well known
In South Jersey baseball circles. Ho
pitched a good article of ball and out-
| aide of the fifth Inning succeeded In
I keeping the Quakers from scoring. His
, drop ball played havoc with moat ot
the local players and he "wlfTed" six
'of them In regular Mathewson order.
But bunched blngOes In the fifth In
ning were his undoing."

Meets Tilson in Finals
Washington, D. c„ Sept. 27.--The
athletic breach which existed between
Georgetown and Virginia for four years
was closed Sunday when the athletic
associations of the two universities
, held special meetings In the two cltlea
at the same hour, and decided that it la
In the best Interest of all concerned
I 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
14, after one of the hardest struggles
'over witnessed on a local gridiron, some
I feeling arose because of charges of In
eligibility, and finally all relations were
. severed. In the four years' Interim
many efforts to bring about peace were
; made, but It was not until about three
, weeks ago that negotiations were sturt-
ed which culminated In the resump
tion of relations. Certain Influential
'Virginia undergraduates and alumni
I intimated to C. M. Berry, captain of the
(Georgetown team of 1901, that Virginia
I was willing to consider a reconciliation,
and It was decide}! to have Virginia
, send a committee to this city to meet a
Georgetown committee and talk ovsr
'the matter.
The Virginia committee waa com-
.posed of Professor W. A. Lambert, a
[member of the faculty athletic com-
[mlttee, and C. S. .McVeigh. George-'
• town was represented by Branch Bo-
Jcock, captain of-the football team, and
(Thomas Kirby. Theto 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 unlver-
j allies. This code was Manufactory, and
It waa decided to meet at Charlottes,
'vllle before finally submitting the
agreement to the athletic associations
‘for ratification.
At the Charlottesville meeting last
Saturday It was decided that It waa
; better not to attempt to# change the
codes ot the universities, and finally It
was agreed to have 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.

KILLED AT FOOTBALL.
F. O. Byrd and W. J. Tllson will face
each other Thursday afternoon on the
East Lake golf course of the Atlanta
Athletic Club In the final round for the
Trnwlck cup, nnd tho golf champlon-
hlp of Atlanta.
The match ought to be n corker. As
Infrequently happens, the match piny
has weeded out the players In such n
fashion that apparently the two beat
men under the conditions face each
other In the last round. Both men ploy
a long, hard-hitting game, are as strong
In trouble an on the fair green and are
probably capable of taking a majority
of matches away from uny other men
In the club.
To fft to the flnala Byrd was forced
to play IV, P. Hill. These Iho men are
annual opponents for the Trawlck cup
and between them have won all which
hnve been offered. Mr. Hill was hope
lessly outclassed on the East Lake
course. His steady, short, accurate
game which played 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
260 yards nnd doing wonders with Ills
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 purposos nnd from that point he
played everything safe. He crossed the
lake and started on the return Journey
three up nnd this lead he Increased by
the hole, nnd won the match, four up
and threo to play.
The other matches arc being played
off as rapidly as the weather and other
conditions will allow. J. G. Darling
won his match In the senil-flna! round
of the second cup from J. 8. Cothran,
five up and four to play, and looks the
winner of the second cup.
In the third (light Latimer beat Gay,
6 and 4; W. K. Stone beat Hammond, 2

sewed up Home In Adder would let it ball
get by and the game would lie gone.
Tim tried everything from enrrylng a
buckeye In hla left hlml pm*ket to catching
a rabbit at midnight In aome popular grave
yard and wearing hii left hind foot for a
watch charm. Finally he decided ou a
hontcahoc to head off the hard luck streak,
nnd while going to the park one day he
picked up oue and Htuck It In the hip pocket
of hU uniform. It wan hi* day to pitch,
ml he kept It there.
The game was progressing nicely until he
*ve a hnse on ball* and big imn Brouthera
canto up. Tim handed Dan a wide out-
curve, and- well, that ball shot Ktrnlght
back like n bullet. Tint couldn't fact* the
i*. ao he turned hto back, and with a
Minunh the ball ntruck the horseshoe In hla
hip pocket. Ileumrknble to relate, the ball
muck on a horseshoe nail, nnd try he
could, O'Malley conldu't pull It loo**, lu

such a wonderful game for Tennessee two

was easily worth the price of admission.
Tech has secured Bean ns coach for tho
scrubs, nnd It U>oks ns though a wise choice

kick-off to goal, and he Isn't nfrald to nlay
