The question of which of the raeinl.,.,-. of the club are "novices” and which ir« not has been left to the decision of th« chairman of the golf committee, f Byrd. The general ruling will be that a uovlce is any man who has not w. i, , match In n tournament, barring the r* Trawlck tournament. Some exceptb>i:« may bo made to this rule, but It will |* arranged that all the beginners will got 4 chance at the prize and that the old l iar. eA will bp barred.

SL0S80N DEFEATED. w York, Oct. 2.—George Wesson was defeated In n practice billiard match nt his ademy by Harry Cline, the Philadelphia professional, by 600 to 46S With Sl<. h *„ a ding only 32 buttons to complete hi« string, the Philadelphian, by clever nurs ing ran out with one unfinished fnniug. HERE’S A REAL FIGHT. They’re the secretive things about 4he!r football out at Tech these,days. Every afternoon the practice on Tech field la In secret. One gate only Is open and that In heavily guarded. If you want to nee the practice, there are three alternatives so far discovered—the trees, the knot-holes and i» balloon. That Is, If you are an outsider. A casual Inquiry ns to what conditions had to lie fulfilled before a sporting writer would be nllowed to wittiest* the practice elicited the Information that he must fur nish affidavit that ho had never gone to any other college, that he would never go to any other college, that he had never thought of going to any other college, that he disliked Vunderhllt and hated Georgia, that Ills poll tax and dog license were paid, that he wiim vaccinated, that Ills write-ups should contain nothing about the practice, In the meantime Coach ffelsmnn Is teach ing Ills men foothnll. Behind closed doors at night lie IS filling his charges full of the science of football and behind barred antes ho Is giving them some practical experience In the afternoons. Tech Prospects Are Improved By Return of Punter Brown YVItfi the arrival of Brown, the /front punter, which was chronicled in Mon day's Georgian, the football prosjjects ut Tech look a trlllo brighter and the gloom which has been hanging < that section of town since the first call for football volunteers was sound ed Is In u measure dispelled.*’ Brown Is a good all-round football player, but especially ho Is a good punter—a man who cun get the ball away fast and far. The most critical weakness displayed at Tech last Saturday was in tho kicking department, but with Brown back In the game Tech will be strong er than any team In tho South in the punting department and perhaps on an equality with any team In tho coun try. With kicking ns such a prominent feature of football these days, the re turn of Brown Is certainly a fortunate happening for Tech. Without him the chances for a successful season looked none too good. With Brown hack the prospects aro Improved about 100 per cent. Practice goes right along at Tech rain or shine. A big squad Is said to be out every afternoon—being rank outsider the writer has to take everything but tin* games themselves on hearsay—and work will go right along, barring not even cloud bursts, earthquakes, tidal waves, race riots, Cuban wars, bomb explosions In Ilus- sla or anything else. With Uahhuiega coming up Satur day and likely to spring anything In the line of football, the Yellow Jackets feel the need of being prepare*!. It Is doubtful If the North Georgia hunch will do anything In the lino of fancy football, however. Crawford, their roach, believes that the winning game under the new rules will be the old game, and nothing very fancy need be expected from his charge*. Also It can be safely said that Coach Helsmun’s men will not play any tricks unless they are forced Into It. If straight football will win for them, no mutter how narrow the margin, it will l»e straight football which Conch Hels- man will use. All trick plays, novel formations, double and triple passes and the like will be saved for Howanee, rgla and Vanderbilt, when they will be especially needed. Latest in “Rubber Balls” Is the “Pneumatic” Ball There was a man In town Tuesday who would have Interested Charley Frank, for he was selling "rubber balls” and bragging about It. This man was the agent for the Goodyear Rubber Company, which will soon put on tho market a new "pneumatic" baseball. The new sphere looks for nil the worra like tho genuine article. It is covered with the usual horsehide, sew ed In the usual manner, weighs the re quired five ounces, measures the legal five inches, and Is no more and no less lively than the usual bull. A cross section of the ball, however, shows that the Interior, Instead of be ing a small ball of solid rubber, is a larger hollow ball of soft rubber. This rubber ball Is filled with air compressed very highly. Around this ball, filled with compressed air, 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 atul holding it there would be one hard to solve, but for the makers of "pneumatic baseballs" It Island tin a cinch. After making the rubber ball | heals of soft, self-healing rubber they wind enough heavy thread around it to give It strength, then pfenV the Interior with a hollow needle connected with tlie compressed air. As soon ns air Inside the ball Is compressed to the proper density the needle Is withdrawn and the Helf-henJJng rubb* O’BRIEN-BERGER BOUT LOOKS A SURE GO By W. W. NAUGHTON. Ran Francisco, Oct. 2.—Jack O'Brien an*J Sain Berger are gradually coming together. They have agreed upon the apportionment of the purse offered by tho promoters. The money will be equally divided. Saturday Juck O'Brien, who Is at Los Angeles, held out for 60 per cent of the money for himself, "win, lose or draw.” Berger, who wanted fo split the fighters' share of tho money even ly, would not listen to this. O'Brien hinted that everything was off and threatened to take on the win ner of tomorrow night’s fight at Los Angeles, between Tommy Burns and Jim Flynn. Berger In reprisal said ho would fight Bob Fitzsimmons Jn this city dur ing the present month. Although a go with the ancient, dap pled Cornlshman might he a more se rious thing for Samuel than uppeurs at first blush, the sports 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 leather aprons and an anvil was present In the ring. Then It would look like a scene from the "Honest Blacksmith." In which Sam and Old Fltz starred together. Way down low It looked as 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 at bluffing, and last night's developments favor this view of the circumstances. Jack Crlbhons, representing O'Brien, went to Coffroth’s and called up Sam Berger on the 'phone. The latter, it may be stated, went into training to day at San Baefal, on the Micawber plan. He said he would prepare quiet ly and wait for something to turn up. (’ribbons conveyed to Berger the in telligence that O'Brien had agreed to split tho 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 Queensbury rules shall gov ern the bout. In other words, that each tighter 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 as 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 t«> arrive In this city to morrow, It was determined to postpone further discussion of the question for Wednesday night, when there will be a meeting at Coffroth’s. Meanwhile the prospects of a bout between the two men are getting brighter. In the menntime the public can do its own guoMsIng. Public football practice In Atlanta Is a thing of the past. If you want to know what Is happening go to the games. The foothnll practice In not for you. Indianapolis, Jnd., Oet. 2.—In n ten-round tout that was a fight from start to flulib, George Williams got the decision over Frank Carsejr here last night. The fight was one of the most consistent and satisfactory seen here In a long time. HOPPE L08E8 FIR8T. New York, Oct. 2.—Edward McLaughlin was the victor In the first game of the match with Willie Hoppe, In progress ut the Knickerbocker Academy in Brooklyn, X the young 300 to 241. Barrel of Prizes Offered For Birmingham Tournament tightly, leaving the air Inside. The virtue claimed for the new hall Is that It practically never loses I shape and that It will outlast thr ordinary balls. As It Is ftuilt on the lines Of its little but older brothers, the practically Indcstructable pneu matic and silk pneumatic golf ball, it ought to live up to the spcclficatl* It is Interesting to know that the Goodyear people are experimenting with the cores of tennis balls. It Is not generally known, but practically everv one »*f the hundreds of thousand of tennis ball cores used In this coun try are Imported. These cores are made under a seer* t process and n American rubber concern has ever ve solved the problem of making the In f first-class tennis balls. Tin s, balls are blown up Ilk** the golf balls nnd baseballs, but a hot needle Is user! wound made by the no* It cools.

AUTO RECORDS IN DANGER DURING MEET AT MACON There ran be but little doubt that the world’s championship at baseball will go #> the National League again, and for the same reason It did last year. In the National League the race has been cinched for weeks and weeks. The Chicago Nationals have hud things all to themselves and have been able to take It easy, save up their best pitchers, q?et all of their men in the best physical condition and keep them there. The Chicago Americans, on the oth er hand, have had u hard tight for It They have had to sacrifice their play ers at 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 >ague team will enter the battle with nothing left In the way of reserve strength and energy. Every man will tired out, and many of them will be Jn bad physical condition us a re sult of the long, gruelling race. he result can hardly be anything but a repetition *>f last year's series f battles. Of course, there is a bare—In fact, u naked possibility that the Amerl- ans can hold out long enough to beat ’hurley Murphy's Spuds, but it does not look probable. What effect the taking over of the *'uban government by the United States will have on baseball In Cuba this winter is not evident right now. Before this event huppened the Pulma government promulgated a decree pro hibiting the playing of baseball on the island until peace was restored. Now i that peace has come, maybe baseball will be allowed. Bobby Ullks was planning to take a team to Huvuna this winter, and may do so yet. Major league papers have been roasting John J. McGraw for keep Ing “Broadway Alex" Smith on Ills team. Smith never, by any chance, plays on the .team. As far as can be learned, he Is retained In the capacity of betting commissioner for McGraw, who blows considerable of his money each year on the races. Says Will Hamilton in The New Orleans Item: "That Incorrigible young man, Percy Whiting, whose dope has shone bril liantly all the summer on the sport page of The Atlanta Georgian, 1ms Jumped on ye scribe again for asking a question or two that had a sugges tion of that which Is repulsive to At lanta.
