FOOTBALL AT FULL BLAST BLUFF GALLED BYECLARKE DREYFUS’ PLAYERS ARE DESERT, ING AND BARNSTORMING TRIP MAY BE “OFF.” Augusta, Ga., Oct 8.—The attend- , ance tor the South Atlantic League haa Juat been given out, and It ahowi that there were 259,178 paid admla- aiona to the guinea during the past, year, with Savannah In the lead by 8,783, and Augusta aecond with a good margin. The attendance this year waa much better than last, and with a tew ex ceptions the clubs have made money. In some ot the towns where bad man- ; ogement was the cause, there was a I loss to the club owners, but the local club ended for the first time In good ) shape, with something like 16,000 to the ! good. This waa due, however, to the 1 able management of Manager Ranslck, who not only knew the game, but he waa a good business manager. Here Is the way the line-up waa In regard to the attendance: Savannah ..58,691 Augusta 47,908 ; Macon-.. 44,279 Columbia ..40,864 ! Charleston 88,258 I Jacksonville 31,178 Boston, Oct. 8.—Now that It la prac tically certain that the Chicago Na tionals and the Chicago Americans will light It out for the world's champion ship, a comparison of the teams will not be odious as the old proverb would (have us believe such a siting up might he. Taking the teams by the depart ments, It would appear that the Cubs have a slight hunch over the White I Box any way you compare them, and in one or two Instances outclass them by a goodly margin. Here Is about the way the teams compare In their various positions: ' Catching Department—Kllng of the iNatlonals Is at least as strong a man as Sullivan of the Americans, perhaps a shade better. Moran easily classes Iwlth McFarland of the Americans In genesal ability, and Is a more reliable man. Walsh and Towns are hardly to be reckoned with, as they will not get Into the series effectively. Pitching Department—Browne of the Nationals la a better man than any the Americans can put forth, Walsh be ing the nearest approach. He Is as good a twlrler as the Americans can boast ot Reulbach and Lundgren of the Nationals have an advantage— though not a great one—on Owen and Patterson of the Americana Pflester, the one left-hander on the Nationals’ stair, compares favorably with White anO Altrock, the White Sox south paws. The Nationals also have Jack Taylor In reserve, although ho will hardly be used except In case of ,ex- ‘TM^tanc of the Cub. ha. Donahue beaten at any angle, being a better fielder, thrower, hitter, ■ base gunner and general Inside man. Second Bass—Isbell of" the Ameri cans la a steadier man than Byers, but not so brilliant In hts play. The little Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 8.—That name* Dreyfus was unable to make g 0 ,„i d threat to force all his players tl) , barnstorming for him until the end their contract, because they failed win second place for him In the leag^^ race, was shown today when It was an. nounced that Captain Fred Clark has bade goodbye to all the players left Pittsburg yesterday for the \v not even waiting for the last game « Cincinnati. Wagner left for Hot Springs Ark_ this morning and First Baseman Neal on left the team at Cincinnati for hi home. This makes three star memhen of the team which will not be with the barnstormers which Invade Ohio town, tomorrow. Some time ago Dreyfus became verr bitter and personal toward memher, a his team, saying he would make them all play the string out to the end II they allowed -New York to beat them out of aecond place. The challenge , u so open that the outcome was watched with some Interest Comparison of Teams Which Play for the Championship Tech Defeated Dahlonega and Played Good Football Cub really Is more valuable than Is. bell, despite his tendency to go sky. ward on occasions. Shortstop—Tinker of the Nationals Is not the finished artist that George Davis of the Sox Is. However, he takes longer chances than the veteran, Is a better thrower and Is a stronger bats man In a pinch. Third Bass—Lee Tannehlll Is faster on his feet than Stelnfeldt, but Is so far outclassed by the ox-Red as a bats man that the Sox loom up lamentably weak at the third corner compared with tho Cubs. Stelnfeldt at that Is not much behind Tannehlll as a fielder. Left Field—Shecknr^ is n better hit ter, thrower, fielder and base runner than Dougherty of the Sox, who shows only occasional strength with the stick —his only-strong point of play. Canter Field—Slagle Is us good a fielder and base runner as Jones of the Sox, but the latter hns It on the Cub In hitting. At that Slagle gets to base as often os Jones, his ability to work pitchers for passes being a star feat with him. Right Field—Schulto of the Cubs Is a better man In any department than Hahn of tho Sox. Schulte Is weak In batting against left-hand pitchers, nnd wilt bo worried by both White and Alt- rock. Howovor, ho Is more to bo de pended upon than Hahn In any line of P, tftl..»y Players—The Cubs have In Hoffman and Gassier two of the best extra men In the business. Both are good fielders and htttors and can All acceptably any position on the team they are called upon to work In. The Sox also hnve two good men In Dun- don nnd Bohe, who, however, are not quite In the same class with tho Cubs’ extra men.—Exchange. 'In a game which satisfied everybody —players, coaches, all the members of both teams, the spectators and the managers—Tech defeated the North Georgia Agricultural College team Sat urday on Tech 'Held by a score of 11’to 0. To the Dahlonega players the fact that they held Tech down to no score In the first half and only allowed two touchdowns In the second was honor enough. Last year the Dahlonega team was beaten by Tech 54 to 0, and the score of Saturday's game showed that an Improvement had been wrought. To the Tech team a mere victory was enough. Coach Helsman did not ask of his men that they run up a large score. In the first half they were under instructions to play straight "1905 football,” but to kick ds often as possible. The temptation to run with the ball was too hard to withstand, however, and there was not enough kicking to suit the Wizard— for which error of omission the team was undoubtedly most gorgeously ragged” during the intermission be tween the halves. In the second half Tech turned loose Just one play, the "double-pasa-bchlnd- thc-llne-fake attack-on-opponents- rlghtond-followed-by-a-Iong - pass -to- two-men-who- had-gone - around - the- other-end play.'l It worked beautifully time after time, and will make a good, useful stock-play during the season. It Is not worked as a trick, but Just an ordinary straight play, under the new rules. When It worked cdrrectly ■ the Dahlonega team was clustered around one end, and when the long forward pass came It' found two Tech men awaiting for It far away from all trou ble. Once It worked for nearly 40 yards and several times It netted between 20 and 30 yards. This play, alternated with line burke and kicks, brought the ball down due to the Dahlonega line and line buck, put It over. Means made the touch, down and Davies failed on goal. Then came the most brilliant play of the day. Dahlonega kicked oft toward the north goal for a bit more than 2! yards and Davies, who secured the ball, ran about 80 yards to u touch- down. Hightower did some fancy sprinting to get alongside of his team mate, but when he got there ho did val uable work In Interference all the way down the field. Davies kicked the goal After that neither side could score, and the call of time found the ball near the rplddle of the field. » The line-up: tech. Hill Luck Henderson.. Monro* Snyder G. Smith....

Boston, Mass, Oct 8.—A small army •of fair golfers added gaiety and anl- Imation to tho Brae Burn Club llnka at 'IWest Newton today. It was tho open ing day of the twelfth annual national 'xromen’a golf championship. The In ter-city matches last week served as an exoallent preliminary to the blue Itlbbon contest which will lost through- 'out the present week. That this year’s affair will outshine E of Its predecessors seems to bo a rone conclusion. To begin with, tournament Is mors truly national a scope than has been the case In lous years. The entry list Includes Mat women golfers not only of New X Boston nnd Philadelphia, but jlhoae of the Went are equally well 'xapresented. The Chicago clubs have ’.sent their best players and Denver. St ■Louis and other cltlea have added to tha list of Western representatives. iMavlng the fint championship. In 1196. at Meadow Brook—which was not [under United States Golf Association Auspices—out of all calculations. It Is Interesting to glance over the records •of past tournaments. . ’ It was at the Morris county links In (llll when the women first played for the perpetual Robert Cox trophy, that Mlaa Beatrix Hoyt, entering from Shln- necock, led the field with a score of 86, ana eventually won out at match play. In a violent storm at the Essex County Club. Manchester, Mass, the following year. Miss Hoyt again led the field In the qualifying round, with 106, and at the Ardsley Club. In 1898, Miss Hoyt returned a 92 on the first day. The next year the same player led again at the Philadelphia Country Club/ with 97, while at Shlnnecock, In MOO. Miss Hoyt did a 94. All this time tho courses were stead ily becoming longer, a fact noticeable the following year at Baltusrol, where four players tied at 97 for low score in the qualification round. At Bal tusrol the playing course was about 6,000 yards. The players came to the Country Club of Brookline In 1902, playing over a much shorter course, which accounts for the 89 madh In the stroke competition Jointly by Miss Margaret Curtis and Miss Louisa IWells. Without doubt the most meri torious achievement from a scoring point of view was the 94 of Mrs. Caleb F, Fox over the long and difficult Wheaton course In 1903.. < PREPS WILL MEET. The first local prep game will be played Monday afternoon on the Peld- mont park gridiron between the Geor gia Military Academy team and the Donald Fraser team. Both teams are strong and the contest should be a good one. NAT KAISER & CO. Bargains in unredeemed Dia monds. Confidential loans on val uable. 16 Decatur St Kimball House. JSE ib. u ££ Local Pugilists All Ready For Fight With Joe Rowe S. Ventura, the Cuban boxing expert who has Jack Foy, the local pugilist. In charge, announces that his man Is In tip-top shape for his battlo Wed nesday night *t Rome against Joe Rowe. Tile two men will meet Wednesday night at 8:30 o'clock on a ring erected fn (he fnfletd of the Rome fafr grounds race track and will go twenty rounds. This fight promises to be nboUt the best one which has been pulled off In the South In a long time. Foy Is In fine trim and believes that he will have no trouble In disposing ot his opponent. Rowe, however, Is said to be a pretty likely scrapper and the go should be worth watching. Tho mntch was originally proposed at 150 pounds, nt which weight Foy challenges. But Rowe could not matte It. nnd Foy agreed to take him on at catch weights. Foy will, therefore, have to concede Rowe about 8 pounds. Beats for (he fight uro on sale at the Etowah cigar Btund, and It Is expected that a lnrge number will avail them selves of the cheap rates and the chance to see n go*d light. It will be possible to leave Atlanta In the afternoon, see the fight and get back to Atlanta the next morning. Tad Sees the Fight Pictures and Says There Was No Foul By TAD. New York, Oct. 8.—If Referee George Siler saw Nelson foul (Jans In their fight he must havo have an eye like an eagle and one that can aee more things than the ordinary glim. Last night at the New York roof garden the moving pictures of that great battle waa shown to the public and tho house was so crowded that the police refused to allow any more Inside. They showed us twenty-four rounds of the battla from the beginning up to the twentieth round, and then the last six. If the blow was foul I am blind, seems to me that the punch landed directly on Gans* belt* and not a bit below. Nplson stands In the center of the ring dumbfounded. There Is a terrifle uproar. The ring in crowded with people, seconds are running around. Gans is carried to his corner, and t^en tho refereo declares Guns the winner. Last night nt the roof garden they discussed the picture and going out all you heard was Nelson. But I must say that the pictures were the biggest surprise that I ever *xperleneed In my life. After reading In the telegraphic reports for weeks about the terrifle All was well until the foriy-.hird SSSgaL SKlHLfflfcJBgr £* . KB round.

This Is the last of the great fight. I'll tell you Just when the supposed foul happened and show you Just where the men were when It come* oft.” On come* the picture. Nelson as us ual backing Gans around the ring. Slier, with hi* hands behind hi* back. Is leaning over watching them closely as Nelson belt* away at the body with hi* left. Gan* ho* Nelson’s riglf* hand under hi* arm and la backing around the referee. Ills other hand Is across his stomach trying to block the punches that the tireless Rattler Is raining. He backs and backs, and Nell yell*, “Watch out, here it comes. When they get near the ropes, watch out.” They scrap around Siler, who stand* near the renter of the ring. Gan* has hi* back bent over, still holding Nel son'* right and they arc near the ropes. Nelson's back Is to Slier for Just a second. That Is, they move around so that the referee Is directly behind Nelson. "Here it is," yells Nell, and’you see Nelson hook It short against Gans. He pected to see some pictures showing the Dane simply slaughtered. I thought It would be such a one-sided affair that It would tire* you to watch, and that I would wont to go outside after a few rounds. As a matter of fact, Gans did more, blocking and backing away than any thing else and If you count the punches you'll see that Nelson lands about three times to every one the champ slips over. Gans never once backs the Dane around. He’s Jumping from side to side, and running away on thl* aid* and backing away on that. The Western sporting men, who love Nelson as they love a leper, eatd it was a slaughter, but then I guess the New York sports who saw It differently last night must be blind. I guess the pic tures were fixed over or something like that. After looking at the pictures you can't tell whether Gans quit cold or It was a rob. If there was a low blow struck It must have been after the fight was over. Very few In the big audience last night saw It, as the announcer says: If the referee says so. It must have been.” O000000000000O00O0000000O0 O 0 0 FOOTBALL RESULT8. 0 0 Brown, 17: Wesleyan, 0. 0 0 Cornell, 25; Oberiin, 6. 0 0 Midshipmen, 0; Dickinson Col- 0 0 lege. 0. 0 O Harvard, 17; University of O 0 Maine, 0. 0 0 Yale, 56; Syracuse, 0. 0 0 West Point, 24; Trinity. 0.

Sewanee, Tenn., Oct 8.—Football practice at Sewanee has been seriously Interfered with In the last week by the dally rain storms which keep the red clay field slippery. Coach Quill has been working the squad In the gymnasium, running, set ting up exercises, basket , ball and sig nal practice are the order of each af ternoon's work. Friday the rain stopped long enough for a lino up between the ’varsity and a picked scrub team. As most of the scrubs were old "S” men, they made the teams about evenly matched. The score at the end of two 20-mlnute halves was 6 to 6 In favor of the 'var sity. There was brilliant Individual play ing but poor team work on both side*. good scrub team is something that -Hc- wanee can always depend upon, for that renowned Sewanee spirit requires every man big enough to carry a foot ball across the field to turn out every day In uniform. An exciting rumor was started yes terday to the effect that Eph. Klrby- Smltb, brother of Lee Klrby-Smltb, captain of the 1903 Sewanee eleven, who played a star tackle on Sewanee two years ago, will he able to play this season. He has been working In Mexico over n year, but Is anxious to finish his college education before go ing to work permanently. If It is true that he will be back this year it will mean a most valuable addition to the Tiger line, as he Is heavier than he was two years ago, when'he was coif- sldered one of the best defensive tackles In the South. Notes on Saturday 9 s Game The most delighted man on Tech field Saturday afternoon was Coach Crawford. He had succeeded in turn ing out a team from Dahlonega mate rial which made a brave showing against Tech and he was satisfied- even delighted. He ran up and down the side lines like a wild Comanche, shouting, waving hat nnd rain coat and enjoying himself hugely. Mr. Crawford deserves a world' of credit for the work he has done with the Dahlonega team. He has a strong aggregation, considering the material he has to draw front, and they played good straight' football. The -Dahlonega team let the "new football" most severely alone. They played the old-fashloaed game and they played well. But they have got to come to the forward pass and there is no time like the present tor working at It. Sims, Creel, Finley and Charters were the North Georgia stars. Char ters did some fancy punting and ran the team well. For Tech Davies was the large, bright star. His work, both on offensive and defensive, was very fine, and his run through the entire Dahlonega team for a .touchdown was as pretty a piece of work as the year is likely to bring forth. Hightower did some fine playing, and Luck showed most brilliantly. The rest of the team played well and showed a marked Improvement over their pre- vious game. The officials gave entire satisfaction and "got away" with all their decisions. The game waa a nice clean one, there being no serious accidents, little time taken, out and altogether It was a most pleasing exhibition of the "new football."

Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 8.—Kentucky State College, which met defeat at th* hands of Vanderbilt Saturday, will not meet Sewanee today, a* scheduled The eleven canceled the Sewanee game, and Instead took the train from Nashville and went back home to Lex ington. In the game Saturday, which Van derbllt won 28 to 0, the Commodnrei advanced the ball 670 yards, as agalmt 28 by Kentucky. The Kentuckians never once made the required 10 yards on straight play and only once made 5 yards. Practl cally all their gains were made by returning punts. ' Vanderbilt forced Kentucky to punt every time the latter got the ball. Craig and Vanderbilt’s new quarter backs, Hall and Costen, made leaf runs. { League Standings j AMERICAN LEAGUE. Played. Won.
