Dahlonega Working Hard For Saturday’s Tech Game Special to The? Georgian. Dahlonega, Ga., Oct. 3.—Very little can be determined about the Dahlonega team until after It has played it game or two nnd Captain Creel and Coach Crawford are rather dubious about the outcome of Saturday's game with Tech. The Dahlonega team this year Is very light ami rather green. Football Is a new thing at the local college and It Is rather a hard matter to get the right kind of material at the start. However, the squad this year Is made up «»f hard workers, nnd If diligent effort Is worth anything the Dahlonega team will make a good showing. An effort Is being made to build up the game at the North Georgia Agri cultural College, hut It Is known that building up hall teams Is a slow pro- Xuthlng Is being given out In regard to the kind of game which will be played, hut from conversation with Coach Crawford It Is evident that the straight game of old fashioned football will be on tap. Coach Crawford Is not much of a believer In the new game and while some surprises may he look ed for. It Is doubtful If anything radi cally different from the game of last year will he developed by the Dahlone ga aggregation. Flynn Hammered Insensible in Fight With Tommy Burns Dy C. E. VAN LOAN. Los Angeles, Cal., (fit. 3.— Tommy Burns whipped Jim Flynn by tin- knockout route last night, lie took fif teen rounds to do It, and tlmnks to a blunder on Referee Robinson’s part, Flynn lost the light twice in the last round. The Pueblo champion will now return to railroading for he will not do. He was slow and pitiably awkward, leav ing himself open t<> hundreds of punch es which ho might have avoided and he was always a little behind the schedule with his haymaker rights and lefts. Burns fought a fast fight, cutting out a great deal of his fancy footwork and going into the light like a wild man. In the fourteenth round half a min ute before the gong Burns walloped over a right which landed on the point of the Jaw. Jim's knees sagged and his hands went down. For the Hist tl In the light he was really hurt. Burns knew he had his man going and putting his left hum! against Flynn’s face, pushed him away a full arm’s length and whipped another right over. Flynn Staggered, hut kept on his feet. For SO seconds Burns bombarded Flynn's chin with full-arm punches, but none of them had enough steam to send the groggy man to the Hoor. The bell Stopped the punching bug work. The rest helped Flynn some, but he Was dazed when he came from his cor ner. Burns rushed him Into a neutral corner and lumled another right across on the chin. Flynn went down on his back, stayed there for live seconds, dragged himself to his knees and In this position was counted out. He rose after the tenth second. Referee Rob inson made a move to catch Burns’ el bow and stop the fight, but changed his mind, and stepped aside and allowed Burns to continue fighting. Flynn was all In nnd soon went down for the sec ond time. He rolled over and found his feet, again staggering Into the center of the ling. Though ready to drop, he was still game and made one or two wild attempts to swing, finally going down without a punch. Robinson forc ed him to get up again nnd Burns toro In for the last tfme. One more punch which seemed to land high up on tho side of the heud and Flynn lilt the floor face downwurd. It was no fault of Burns that Flynn was not beaten twice, lie looked at the referee after the second knockdown as If to question the advisability of going on with the slaughter, but Robinson said nothing and there was nothing for Tommy to do but continue. For the first time in Los Angeles, Tommy Burns elected to put up a fast, rough fight. He soon found that Flynn couldn't hit him; after that R was all over with the Pueblo demon. He rock ed his head with stiff upper cuts and slathered him with full-arm swings. Flynn locked his left arm around Burns’ neck In the clinches and hung on until the referee tore the men opart. Both men were well marked. Flynn split Burns’ right eye. Burns hammer ed Flynn's nose out of shape and cut him up otherwise. Jim Jeffries was present In a front seat and Jack O'Brien was at the ling side. After much persuasion Jeff was Induced to enter the ring and as e«*«*n ns the big fellow got one foot through the mpe* O’Brien dove through from the other corner. The nun met in the ring ami shook hands. After profuse Introduction Mr. O’Brien made a smooth little speech. He wound up wbh the following nice little compli ment to Jeff: "The newspapers of the country have sal. I that I am anxious to meet Mr. Jef fries in the ling. 1 have met him in the ring tonight and I want to say that this Is the only way 1 ever want to meetj ther Jeffries showed himself to be something of a salve peddler himself.

What Llebhardt thought of his own chances Is shown In the following ex tract from a letter he sent recently to T. G. Scarbrough, sporting editor of Tho Commercial Appeal, of Memphis: ”1 doubt very much whether I will work this fall, ns we are fighting for the pennant ahd are working Joss, Rhoades, Bernhard and Hess, who are In fine trim.

ATLANTA AUTOMOBILISTS PLAN GREAT HILL CLIMB Hope to Get Up Big Event With Several Different Classes and to Offer Several Valuable Cups. ATTELL WILL FIGHT BAKER Los Angeles, Oct. 3.—Abe Attell, the featherweight champion of the world, has been matched to meet Harry Baker, the recent graduate from the amateur ranks before the Pacific Athletic Club, of this city, In a 20-round bout sched uled to take place on Tuesday night, October 30. The coming event which seems to be cast ing the largest shadow' before In the local automobile w'orld nt present Is a hill-climb which Is lieJag planned for the latter part of this month. At the present time no de/lnlte plans have been made, but nt least one cup hits been offered, the hill hns been selected and dealers nnd owners alike are enthusiastic over the scheme. . It Is proposed to hold the climb on the hill on Stewnrt avenue about two and a half or three miles from Atlanta. At this point Is n rise In ground something over a half tulle In length and sufficiently abrupt to test the hill-climbing abilities of the stouteat car. The road Is good, there are no dnngerons turns, nnd altogether the hill la voted the finest kind of a place for a climb. It la proposed to have at least four events, lightweight, middleweight, heavyweight and open, though a classification according to price Is possible. In this way all ears en tered—no matter what their horse power- will have nn even chance of getting oue of the prizes. Hnough entries ran l»o counted on already to Insure the success of-the scheme and all It lacks just now* Is some one to start the ball rolling. In these days when track racing Is too unpleasant nnd dangerous to Interest hiit but the professional* and road raring f’ 9 almost as had on the drivers nnd gom* times considerably worse for the spectators nliout the only branch of the auto-raclnj game left open to the amuteurs Is the i,m. climb. This event Is fast growing In p.,p U . larlty In various parts of the country a n <i would undoubtedly take well In Atlanta, No automobiles from Atlanta were sent to Maron for the automobile races there. This was due partly to the fact that cars trhltH might have been entered If they hn<l ar rived In time were delayed and did not reach Atlanta In time to be shipped to Ma- con for the races, nnd partly to the fact thnt the prises offered were hardly suffi- clently large to entertain tycal owners.
