I FOOTBALL AT FULL BLAST LEAGUE BASEBALL AT END EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MONDAY OCTOBER. 8, 1906. Boston, Oct. 8.—Now that It 1* jfrac- tlcally certain that the Chicago Na- -tlonals 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 be. Taking the teams by the depart- .ments, It would appear that the Cubs have a slight hunch over the White .Box any way you compare them, and iln one or two Instances outclass them iby a goodly margin. Here Is about 'the way the teams compare in their ’various positions: Catching Department—Kllng of the Nationals Is at least as strong a man KU Sullivan of the Americans, perhaps fa shade better. Moran easily classes Crlth McFarland of the Americans In wener&l ability, and Is a more reliable Fman. Walsh and Towne are hardly to [be reckoned with, as they will not get into the series effectively. Pitching Department—Browne of the Nationals Is 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 of. Reulbach and I.undgren of the Nationals have an advantage— though not a great ono—on Owen and Patterson of the Americans. Pficster, 'the ono left-hander on the Nationals staff, compares favorably with White land Altrock. tho White Sox south- 'paws. The Nationals also have Jack Taylor .In reserve, although he will [hardly no used except In caso of ex treme necessity. First Bass—Chance of the Cubs has Donahue beaten at any angle, being a better fielder, thrower, hitter, buse runner and, general Inside man. Second Base—Isbell of the Ameri cans Is a steadier man than Evers. but not so brilliant In his play. The little Cub really Is more valuable than Is bell, despite his tendency to go sky ward on occasions. 8hortstop—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 belter thrower and Is a stronger bats man In a pinch. ' Third Base—Lee Tannehlll Is faster on his feet'than Stelnfeldt, but Is so far outclassed by the ex-Red os a bats man that the Sox loom up lamentably weak at the third corner compared with the Cubs. Stelnfeldt at that Is not much behind Tannehlll as a fielder. Left Field—Sherkard Is a better hit ter, thrower, fleldcr and baae runner than Dougherty of the Sox, who shows only occasional strength with the stick —his only strong point of play. Center Field—Slaglo Is as good a fielder and base runner as Jones of the Sox, but the latter has It on the Cub In hitting. At that Slagle gets to base as often as Jones, his ability to work pitchers for passes being a star feat with him. Right Field—Schulte of the Cubs Is n better man tn any department than Hahn of tho Sox. Schulte Is weak In batting against left-hand pitchers, and will be worried by both White and Alt- rock. However, he Is more to be de pended upon than Hahn In any llnosof Jtility Play«r«—Tho Cub* have In Hoffman and Dossier two of the best extra men In tho business. Brtth are Ifood fielders and hitters and can fill acceptably any position on the team they aro called upon to work In. The Sox also have two good men In Dun- don and Rohe, who, Jiowever, are not quite In the same class with the Cubs' ext^a men.—Exchange. Comparison of Teams Which Play for the Championship GEORGIA LED SALLY LEAGUE NOT ONLY WON PENNANT, BUT LED IN ATTENDANCE FIG URES FOR 8EASON. Augusta. Ga., Oct. 8.—The attend- _once for the South Atlantic League has Just been given out, and It shows that there were 259,178 paid admis sions to the games during the past, year, with Savannah In the lead by 8,783, and Augusta second with a good margin. The attendance this year was much better than last, and with a few ex ceptions the clubs have made money. In some of the towns where bad man agement was the cause, there was a loss to the club owners, but the local club ended for the first time In good shape, with something like if,,000 teethe good. This was due, however, to*the able management of Manager Ranslck, who not only knew the game, but he was a good business manager. Here Is the way the line-up was In regard to the attendance: Savannah 58,891 Augusta 47,908 Ma?on 44,279 Columbia ,. ., 40,864 Charleston 98,268 Jacksonville 31,178 BLUFF CALLED BYR_CLARKE DREYFUS’ PLAYERS ARE DESERT. ING AND BARNSTORMING TRIP MAY BE “OFF." Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 8.—That Barney Dreyfus was unable to make good hi, threat to force all his players to ,|, barnstorming for him until the end of their contract, because they failed t 0 win second place for him in the league race, was shown today when it was an. nounced that Captain Fred Clark hai bade goodbye to all the players and left Pittsburg yesterday for the West not even waiting for the last game at Cincinnati. Wagner left for Hot Springs, Ark. this morning and First Baseman Neal.’ on left the team at'Cincinnati tor hi, home. This makes three star member, of the team which will not be with the barnstormers which Invade Ohio town, tomorrow. Some time ago Dreyfus became very bitter and personal toward members of his team, saying he would make them all play the string out to the end It they allowed New York to beat them out of second place. The challenge wa, so open that the outcome was watched with some Interest.

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT THE HORSES ARE MENTHA, KENNYETTO AND COURT DRESS. BELOW IS A GROUP OF THREE NOTED TURFMENj FROM LEFT TO RIGHT THEY ARE ANDREW MILLER, TOM WEL8H AND TOM HEALY. 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 bea(en by Tech 64 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 as 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-pass-bchind- the-llne-fake attack-on-opponcnts- rightend-followed-by-a-Iong - pass -to- two-men-who- had-gone - around - the- other-end play." 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 correctly 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 1 and several times It netted between 20 and 30 yards. This play, alternated with line buck, and kicks, brought the ball down close 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 ot the day. Dahlonega kicked otr toward the north goal for a bit more than 25 yards and Davies, who secured the ball, ran about 80 yards to a touch, down. Hightower did some fancy sprinting to get alongside of his team, mate, but when he got there he did val uable work In Interference nil the war down the Held. Davies kicked the goat After that neither side could score, and the call of time found the ball near the middle of the Held. The line-up: TECH. Hill Luck Henderson.. Monroe Snyder G. Smith....

FAIR GOLFERS PLAYM0NDAY Boston, Mass, Oct. 8.—A small army Itof fair golfers added gaiety and ani- Iniation to the Brae Burn Club links at .West Newton today. It was the open ing day of the twelfth annual national women's golf championship. Tho in ter-city matches last week served as an excellent preliminary to the blue I ribbon contest, which will last through out th« present week. That tnla year's affair will outshine any of Its predecessor* seems to be-a foregone conclusion. To begin with, Lthe tournament Is more truly national Wn Its scope than has been the case In [previous years. The entry list Includes the best women golfers not only of Now York, Boston nnd Philadelphia, but those of the West ure equally well represented. Tho Chicago clubs have •ent their beet playeri and Denver, St. Louis and other cities have added to the list of Western representatives. Leaving the drat championship, In 1896, at Meadow Brook—which was not under United States Golf Association au,pipes—out of aU calculations. It is interesting to glance over the records ut past tournaments. It was at the Morrle county links In 1898 when the women first played for the perpetual Robert Cox trophy, that Alias Beatrix Hoyt, entering from Shln- necock, led the field with u score of ak and eventually won out at match play. In a violent storm at the Essex County Club, Manchester, Moss., the following year, Mlee Hoyt again led the Held in the qualifying round, with SOI, and at the Ardsley Club, In 1898. Miss Iloyt 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 11900, Miss Hoyt did a 94. Alt this time the courses were stead ily becoming longer, a fact, noticeable the following year at Baltuerol, where four players tied at 97 for low score in the qualification round. At Ilal- tusrol the playing course was about a 000 yards. Tho players came to the Country Club of Brookline In 1902, claying over a much shorter course, which accounts for the 89 made in the •troke competition Jointly by Miss Margaret Curtis and Miss Louisa [Wells. Without doubt the most meri torious achievement from a scoring point of view was the 94 of Mfs. Caleb JF. Fox over the long end difficult iWheaton course In 1903. i PREPS WILL MEET. The first local prep game win be clayed Monday afternoon on the Peld- niont 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 uables. 15 Decatur St Kimball House. Local Pugilists All Ready For Fight With Joe Rowe 8. Ventura, the Cuban boxing expert who ha* Jack Foy, the local pugilist. In charge, announces that hl» man Is In tip-top shape for his battle Wed nesday night at Rome against Joe Rowe. The two men will meet Wednesday night at 8:30 o'clock on a ring erected In the Infield of the Rome fair grounds race track and will go twenty rounds. This fight promises to be about the best one which ha* been pulled off in tho South In a long time. Foy 1b in flno trim and believes that he will have no trouble In disposing of his opponent. Rowe, however, Is said to be a pretty likely scrapper and the go should be worth watching. The match wo* originally proposed at 150 pounds, at which weight Foy challenges. But Rowe could not make It, and Foy agreed , to take him on at catch weights. Foy will, therefore, have to concede Rowe about 8 pounds. Seats for the fight are on sale at the Etowah cigar stand, and It Is expected that a large number will avail them selves of the cheap rates and the chance to see a good fight. It will be possible to leave Atlanta In the afternoon, seo 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 Gone In their fight he must have have an eye like an eagle and one that can Wee more things than the ordinary glim. . Last night at the New York roof garden the moving pictures of that great battle was shown to the public and the house was so crowded that the police refused to allow any more Inside. They showed us twenty-four rounde of the battle, from the beginning up to the twentieth round, and then the last six. All woa -well until the forty-third round. Jtra Nett, father of Frankie Nell, the ex-bantam weight champion, does the announcing and Just before this round came up, said: "Watch this 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 comes off." On comes the picture, Nelson as us ual backing Gans around the ring. 8IIer, with his hands behind his. back, Is leaning over watching them closely as Nelson belts away at the body with his left. Gans has Nelson’s right hand under his arm and Is backing around the referee. Ills other hand Is across hts stomach trying to block the punches that the tireless Battler Is raining. He backs nnd backs, and Nell yells, "Watch out, here It comes. When they get near the ropes, watch out.” They scrap around Slier, who stands near the center of the ring. Gans has hts back bent over, still holding Nel son's right and they are 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 Neil, and you see Nelson hook It short against Gans. He rolls over the floor. If the blow was foul I am blind. It seems to me that the punch landed directly on Gans' 'belt and not u bit below. Nelson stands In the center of the ring dumbfounded. There Is a terrific uproar. The ring Is crowded with people, seconds are running around. Gans is carried to his corner, and then the referee declares Gans the winner. Last night at the roof garden they discussed the picture and going out all you heard was Nelson. But I must say that tho pictures were the biggest surprise that I ever experienced la my life. After reading In the telegraphic reports for weeks about the terrific walloping Nelson took, how ho was hopelessly outclassed, how he was laid up tn bed and reported dead, Gans did not have a mark, and such rot, I ex pected to see some pictures showing the Dane simply slaughtered. I thought It would be such a one-sided affair that it would Ure you to watch, and that I would want 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 chomp Blips, over. Gans never since backs the Dane around. He's Jumping from side to side, and running away on this side and backing away on that. The Western sporting men, who love Nelson as they love a leper, said It was a slaughter, but then l guess the New York sports who saw It differently last night must Ire blind. 1 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, U must have been.” 00000000000000000000000000 a o a FOOTBALL RE8ULT8. 0 O Brown, 17: Wesleyan, 0.

Sewance, Tenn., Oct. 8.—Football practice at Sewanee has been seriously Interfered with In the last week by the dally rain storme 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 line up between tho 'varsity and a picked scrub team. As most of the scrubs were old "8" men, they made the teams about evenly,matched. The acore at' the end of two 20-mlnute halves was 6 to 5. in favor of the 'var sity. There was brilliant individual play ing but poor team work on both sides. The very Important assistance of a good scrub team Is something that Se 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. Kirby- Smith, brother of Lee Klrby-Smlth, captain of the 1903 Sewanee eleven, who played a star tackle on Sewanee two years ago, will be able to 'play this season. He has been working In Mexico over a year, but la 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 wns two years ago, when he was con sidered one of the best defensive tackles In the South. Notes on Saturday 9 s Game The most delighted man on Tech field Saturday qfternoon 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 and rain coat and enjoying himself hugely. Mr. Crawford deserves a world of credit Yor the work he has done with the Dahlonega team. He has a strong aggregation, considering the material he has to draw from, and they played good straight football. The Dahlonega team let the "new football” most severely alone. They played the old-fashioned game and they played well. But they have got to come to the forward pass and there Is nu time like the present for 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 os 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 was 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.” O00000000O000000O000000000 O 0 O CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES 0 O WILL BEGIN TUESDAY. 0 O Chicago, III., Oct. 8.—The se- O 0 ries of games between the two O O Chicago teams for the baseball O O championship of the world will be O 0 started Tuesday afternoon.
