New York, Oct. 2.—Oeorge Slosson wni defeated In a practice billiard match nt htj academy by Harry Cline, the Philadelphia professional, by BOO to 458 With Hln»s..n needing only 32 buttons to complete his string, the Philadelphian, by clever nurs ing ran out with one unfinished Inning. HERE’S A REAL FIGHT. They’re the secretive things about their football out nt Tech these days. Every afternoon the practice on Tech field la lu N«*cret. One gnte only Is open and that Is heavily guarded. If you want to see the practice, there are three alternatives so far discovered—the trees, the knot-holes and a balloon. That Is. If you are an outsider. A casual Inquiry as to what conditions had to he fulfilled heforo n sporting writer would he njlowed to witness the practice nny other college, that he would never go to nny other college, that In* had never thought of going to any other college, tlmt he disliked Vunderhllt and hated Georgia, that his poll tax and dog license were paid, that he wns vaccinated, that his write-ups should contain nothing about the practice. the conch, the field, the scenery or football ns n game. In the meantime roach Helsman Is tench lug Ills men football. Behind closed doors at night he is filling his charges full of the science of football and behind barred gates he Is giving them some practical experience lu the nfternoous. But what It Is nil shout will be disclosed slowly and only as the In the meantime the pu guessing. Public football practice In Atlanta Is n thing of the past. If you want to know what is happening go to the games. The football practice Is not for you. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 2.—In a ten-round I>out that wns n fight from stnrt to finish, Oeorge Williams got the decision mtr Frank Cnrsey her! last night. The fight wag one of the most consistent and satisfactory seen here In a long time. HOPPE LOSES FIRST. New York, Oct. 2 -^Edward McLaughlin was the victor In the first game of the match with Willie Hoppe, In progress at the Knickerbocker Academy lu Brooklyn, Tech Prospects Are Improved By Return of Punter Brown With the arrival of Ilrown, the great punter, which was chronicled in M day's Georgian, the football prospects at Tech look a trifles brighter and the gloom which has been hanging. ov< that section of town since the first call for football volunteers wns sound ed Is In a monsure dispelled. Brown is a good all-round football player, but especially he Is a good punter—a inan who can get tho ball away fast and far. The most critical weakness displayed at Tech last Saturday wns In the kicking department, but with Brown back in the gumo Tech will he strong er than any team In tho South In the punting department and perhaps on an equality with uny team in the coun try. With kicking as such a prominent feature of football these days, the re turn of Brown Is certainly a fortunate hnp|>cnlng for Tech. Without him the chances for a successful season looked none too good. With Brown hack the prospect* uro Improved about 100 per Practice goes right along at Tech rain or shine. A big squad Is said to be out every afternoon—being a rank outsider the writer has to take everything but the games themselves on hearsay and work will go right along, barring not «ven cloud bursts, earthquakes, tidal waves, rare riots, Cuban wars, bomb explosions In Rus sia or anything else. With Bnhlonega coming up Satur day and likely to spring anything In the line of football, the Yellow Jackets feel the need of being prepared. It Is doubtful if the North Georgia hunch will do anything in the line of fancy football, however. Crawford, their coach, believes that the winning game under the new rules will be the old game, and nothing very fancy need be expected from his charges. Also It can be safely said that Coach Helsman's men will not play any tricks unless they are forced Into It. If straight football will win for them, no matter how narrow the margin. It will straight football which Coach Hels- nmn will use. All trick plays, novel formations, double and triple passes and the like will ho saved for Sownnee, Georgia and Vanderbilt, when they will ho especially needed. Latest in “Rubber Balls” Is the “Pneumatic” Ball There was a man In town Tuesday who would have Interested Charley Frank, for tie was selling ‘’rubber balls" and bragging about It. This man was the agent for the (foodyear Rubber Company, which will soon put on the market a new "pneumatic" baseball. The new sphere' looks for all the world like the genuine article. It is covered with the usual horsehlde, sew ed In the usual manner, weighs the re quired live ounces, measures the legal five Inches, and Is no more and no less lively than tho usual ball. A cross .section of the ball, however, shows that the Interior, instead of be ing n small ball of solid rubber, Is a larger hollow ball of soft rubber. This rubber ball Is tilled with air compressed very highly. Around this ball, filled with compressed nlr, Is wound the usual material and this is covered with leather in the ordinary manner. To tho layman the problem of com pressing a large bunch of air inside a small rubber ball and holding it there would be one hard to solve, but for the makers of “pneumatic baseballs" It Is a cinch. After making the rubber ball of soft, self-healing rubber they wind enough heavy threud around It to give It strength, then pierce the Interior with a hollow needle connected with the compressed air. Ah soon as the air Inside the hall Is compressed to the proper density the needle Is w Ithdrn and the self-healing rubber cloi tightly, leaving the air Inside. The virtue claimed for the new hall Is that It practically never loses I shape ami that It will outlast thr ordinary balls. As It Is built on thc^ lines of its little but older brothers, the practically Indestructable pneu matic and silk pneumatic golf ball, It ought to live up to the specifications It Is interesting to know that tho Goodyear people are experimenting with the cores of tennis balls, it Is not generally known, but practically every one of tin* hundreds of thousands of tennis ball cores used In this co try are imported. These cores are made under a secret process and no American rubber concern has ever yet solved the problem of making the In teriors of first-class tennis balls. These balls are blown up like the golf .balls and baseballs, but a hot needle Is used and the wound made by the needle heals us it cools. O’BRIEN-BERGER BOUT LOOKS A SURE GO By W. W. NAUGHTON. Kan Francisco, Oct 2.—Jack O'Brien and Ham Berger are gradually coming together. They have agreed upon the apportionment of the purse offered by the promoters. The money will be equally divided. Katurday Jack O’Brien, who is at tios Angeles, held out for 60 per cent of the money for himself, “win, lose or draw." Berger, who wanted to split the fighters’ share of the money even ly, would not listen to this. O’Brien hinted that everything wns off and threatened to take on the win ner of tomorrow night’s light at Los Angeles, between Tommy "Burns and Jim Flynn. Berger In reprisal said ho would fight Boh Fitzsimmons in this city dur ing the present month. Although a go with the ancient, dap pled Cornlshmnn might be a more se rious thing for Karnuel than uppears at first blush, the sporfs around town de cided against the match. They said that a bout of that char acter could only be made Interesting if the principals wore leathei* aprons and an anvil was present In tho ring. Then It would look like a scene from the "Honest Blacksmith,” In which Knm and Old Fltz starred together. Way down low It looked ns If O'Bri en’s threat that he would fight Burns or Flynn and Berger’s rejoinder that he would hook up with Fitzsimmons were attempts nt bluffing, and last night's developments favor this view of the circumstances. Jack Crlbbons, representing O’Brien, went to Coffroth’s and called up Sam Berger on the ’phone. The latter, it may bo stated, went into training to day at San Baefal, on the Mlcawber plan. He said he would prepure quiet ly and wait for something to turn up. Crlbbons conveyed to Berger the In telligence that O’Brien had agreed to split the money evenly. This was satisfactory news to Sam, but there was another point to be set tled. O’Brien wants to fight on the “clean break’* and Berger Insist on what is known as Qu^ensbury rules shall gov ern the bout. In other words, that each fighter shall do the best he can in the hitting line at all stages, so long as he does not try to pinion his oppo nent and punch at the same time. Crlbbons contended that Berger, be ing . a 40-pound heavier man than O’Brien, would have an advantage un der these "hit ns hit can” rules, and he felt sure that Jack would agree to nothing but a clean break bout. As Jack Gleason, manager of Ber ger, Is due to arrive in this* city to morrow, it was determined to postpone further discussion of the question for Wednesday night, whtm there will be a meeting at Coffroth's. Meanwhile the prospects of a bout between the two men are getting brighter.

Looks Like National League For World 9 s Championship Chicago Americans, on the oth- " l '‘> b >°* s considerable of Ills money d. have had a hard tight for It. each y,ar on ,he will operate. BROTMAN IS GROWING. There can be but little doubt that tho world’s championship nt baseball 'will go to the National League again, ami for the same reason it did last year, in the National League the race has been cinched for weeks and weeks. Tlu* Chicago Nationals have had things all to themselves and have been able to take It easy, save up their best pitchers, get all of their men In the best physical condition and keep them there. The er hand, They have had to sacrifice their play ers nt every turn to win the pennant in their league. It has taken every man and the best work of every man to keep the Chicago Americans out in front. The result will be that the American League team will enter the battle with nothing left In the way of reserve strength and energy. Every man will be tired out. and many of them will be In bad physical condition us a re sult of the long. gruMltng race. result can hardly be anything but a repetition of last year's series >f battles. (If course, there Is a bare—In fact, i naked—possibility that the Ameri cans can hold out lung enough to beat .’hurley Murphy's Spuds, but It does not look probable. What effect the taking over of the Cuban government by the United States will have on baseball In Cuba this winter is not evident right now. Before this event happened the Palma government promulgated a decree pro hibiting the playing of baseball on the Island until peace was restored. Now that peace lias come, maybe baseball will be nllowed. Bobby Gilks wns planning to take a team to Havana this winter, and may do so yet. Major league papers have been roasting John J. McGraw for keep ing “Broadway Alex” Smith on his team. Smith never, by any chance, plays on the team. As far ns can be learned, he is retained In the capacity betting commissioner for McGraw, j League Standings Clubs. Chicago . ’ .* New York. . Cleveland . . Philadelphia. St. Louis . . Detroit . . .
