SPORT NEWS [“SERIES ON IN FULL BLAST EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING GEORGIA'S OPENING GAME RESULTS IN A VICTORY University of (Unitto, Athens, flu., Oct Toesday afternoon the Georgia ’varsity and scrubs lined up against eacb other for the first regular practice game on Ilertj field, and the ’varsity won—16 to 0. Tho ’varsity team showed unexpected strength In crucial times and both the line and hack field work was much ttronger than expected. The game was almost entirely free of fumbles, something which Is not usual at this time of the season. The forward pass was used many times successfully hy the 'varsity. It seems that the team has already an unusually strong hold on the points of "the new football." Kyle Smith, right half for the ’varsity, made several long and spectacular ruus, some netting from thirty to forty yards each. Napier’s line work was great and his work In "blocking several kicks was su|»erb. De 141 peril ere, who has l»een out of the game for several days, today gnlned his tether's consent to play, and went In and jfayed a strong game at right tackle. Har mon showed 4 up well also In the same po sition. Although there were no especial stars for 'varsity, Thurman, Raoul and Kyle Smith probably showed up a little more promi nently than any of tfte rest It Is a promising sign that there were no especial stars but that all the men pulled together as a team. The scrub team seems to be unusually strong this year, and that usually meaus strong ’varsity. Pot, the scrubs. Graves, 8. O. Smith and McWhorter showed up best. Graves kicked above the average usually seen on a scrub team. Alex McDonnell, captain of acruba, played a nice game. Only fifteeu and ten-minute halves were played. Dosler Lowndes umpired and' Hurrlson Jones was referee. The line-up waa: ’VARSITY. SCTRUBB.

It seems Ltebhardt, together with a bunch of the other fel lows, took In a skating rink at Detroit the other night, after i Glen had won Ills game against the Tigers. The baron lodged his feet In a pair of the pesky things and started off. He went line for a few minutes, nnd then— Bump! Bump! It sounded like a spit ball exploding. "Ach! I’m afraid he’s out,’’ exclaimed Heine Herger, Glen’s boyhood chum. The Dutchman rolled over, shook his head and, holding up hla hands about two feet apart, yelled: ’’I ain’t out! Missed me that far. Memphis News Scimitar. How many people know the full name of “Stony" McGlynn, the sensational young twlrler of the Cardinals, who shut out Brooklyn without a-hlt? Some one might at least have guessed. Maybe It waa because he bad lots of “tocks." Or, some one could have suggested that he was somehow related to our paleoalc ancestors, ’ who Wandered around years ago without even breechclout on. Well. It’s Just as well you didn’t guess, for you would have been wrong. "Stony’’ got his name from the fact thnt his parents came, one from the North and t’other from the South. Each was a hot partisan of the section hailed from, so, when the lad was born, they compromised on a name Hint repre sented both North nnd South anil called him Grant Stonewall Jackson McGlynn. Now, will you be good? His playipates cut the name down to "Stony,*’ nnd so It ha* remained ever since, and, If “Stony" keeps on pitch ing the way he has been, hla name will occupy a place In the baseball hall of fame, quite ns high as the great gen erals of the civil war he was called after, whose names nre dear to the heart of every American.—St. Louis Star-Chronicle. Hattiesburg will probably take Baton Rouge’s place In the- Cotton States League. GRANT TEAM PLAYS TECH CHATTANOOGA FOOTBALLI8T8 SECURED TO FACE TECH NEXT SATURDAY. The Grant University team of Chat tanooga has been secured hy Manager Chapman, of the Georgia School Technology to flit tho open date In the Tech schedule and the two teams will meet Saturday on Tech field. In addition to this game tho Tech second team will play the Stone Moun tain eleven between the halves, so that the patrons of the game wilt witness two contests during the afternoon. The Grant game should prove an In teresting one. The team ts atrong and will no doubt furnish plenty of speedy entertainment for Coach Hctsman’a squad. l NEW DOPE ON LEAGUE RACES In 1906 the Athletics copped the flag with 83 victories and n Anal percentate of .631. just one year later tuo Knz annexed the honor with u run of 83 vlctwlcs and a per- rentage of .616. thua allowing how evenly balanced the two aceeoua were.

CUBS ARE NOT DAUNTED BY DEFEAT AND WILL GO AFTER WHITE SOX AGAIN Chicago, Oct. 10.—Interest Is at fever heat over the second game between the Cubs and Sox for the world's cham pionship, with tho Box one game to the good the odds have shifted and from top heavy favorites the Cubs have dropped to the second choice at odds of 4 to 6. Besides their advantage of winning the flrat game of the series, the Sox today have the additional ad vantage of playing on their own grounds. The scene shifted to Thirty-ninth street and Wentworth avenue today. The weather Is bltlngly cold, but the sun Is making a persistent effort' to show Itself and a big crowd will no doubt be on hand. A year ago, In the Inter-club series, tho Cubs won the first game and the Sox the second. The Cub adherents are wondering If history will reverse Itself this year and the Cub, win the second game. 1, . So evenly Is the city divided over the question of the Sox and Cubs that something like half the people hope that this very thing will happen. The other half—well. It hopes that he Sox will keep right on and jtvln them all. There are thousands of others ready to cheer for either club. These are the Impartial fans who are loyal to both clubs and only want to see the best team win. Then there are others who would like to pee each club win three games and then rain or some bther cause prevent the deciding game. Usually when a great gathering ex pects to see a magnificent contest, It Is disappointed. The players them selves fall, or the game Is languid, fea tureless or without Interest. This was not'the case, however. In the first clash of the respective American nnd Nation al League champions. While the work of neither team was up to their best, the game was brimming with excite ment, and the partisans of both teams were kept on tho grill till the last out In the ninth' Inning. Kiing’s Work Off Color, Johnny Kllng’s work behind the bat for tho Cubs was a sore disappointment to the Cub rooters. He Is usually the moat reliable backstop lit either league, but ho had an off day yesterday, and to one of his slips was due the first run scored by the White Sox. It was tho opinion of many of the fans thnt the Sox came nearly playing up to their best form than the Cubs. Nervousness whs evident on both sides, but the Sox seemed the least affected by It. It Is expected the managers will not decide who will pitch until the very last moment, as was done yesterday. The Sox might possibly put Altrock In again. He Is a horse when It comes to hard work and will pitch every game If they will let him. The Cubs have Pflster, a left hander, they may put In, owing to the fact that the Sox are known to be weak In front of a left hander. Besides Pftster, there Is Ruelbach and the cold weather pitcher, Carl Lundgren. It will un doubtedly be one of these three, with the chances In favor of Ruelbach If the weather Is cloudy when the game starts. His speed would then be an advantage. . Today's game will start at 2:30 o'clock. • Hsrs Is th* Line-up. American League Champs Capture Opening Game A U- “a »‘i>~nr WHITE SOX (CHICAGO AMERICANS) ; CUBS (CHICAGO NATIONALS) Chicago, Oct. 10.—The rank outsider In the betting copped the opening race for the world's championship In base ball when the Chicago Americans de feated the Chicago Nationals in a great game by a score of 2 to 1. The vast crowds which were expect ed by everybody failed to materialize. This fact was largely due to the cold weather, the snow flurries, the fear that seats would not be obtainable and to' other conditions. In consequence only 12,693 people saw the game. What would have been a grand con test was marred by the cold weather. With numb hands It waa Impossible always to handle the ball perfectly and the perfect fielding machine of the Cubs slipped just one cog, which cost the game. In the fifth Inning, after Rohe had hit a three-bagger and Donohue fanned, Dougherty worked the squeeze by bunting a beauty down toward-Pitcher Brown. Brown fielded It and threw to the plate to head off the fast-flying Rohe, but Kllng dropped It. That let In the first run. In the sixth the White Sox scored again. Altrock ambled to first on four wide ones, Hahn laid down a nice sac rifice, Jones singled to center and Alt rock tried to score. Hoffman whipped the ball back to the pan. however, and the Sox pitcher was tagged. Jones went to second on the play and to third when Kllng allowed a ball to pass him. Isbell then singled and the Sox scored the last and the winning run. 1 The Cubs made their only score i. the sixth. Kllng walked and went to second on Brown’s hit. Hoffman ad vanccd both on a sacrifice and Kilns scored on n wild pitch. After that neither side scored and the game ended, amid great enthusl- asm, with the score 2 to 1 In favor ,<r the White Sox. ‘ The score follows: AMKtiTcASfft- Hahn, rf. . ,.

Hurrah for the White Sox and the Amert- can League! Rank errora lost the flrat game of the world's championship series. Not a run wna earned—In any aense of that much-abused term. But then It was gerjr cold—and baseball, the moat uncertain of all "straight" gamea. Is at Ita most uncertain atage In cold weather. If Kllng hadn't had cold feet—or was It cold hands—the score might have been 1 to 1 at the end of the ninth Inning. Playing baseball championships In snow storms Is one of the penalties of loug sea* October Is a pretty cold month In the North, and yet that la the month when nil baseball championships will have to be decided, under the present schedules. How would It be to transfer the baseball championships to some Southern city? At lanta, say? Not particularly baseball-like here these dsys, though. Tho odds on. the championship games have gone back to even money. Talk about those ex-Southern Leaguers! Ilahn did not make any fool of himself and Roho was the hero of the game. And they both came from New Orlenns- though we should not hold that agalust them. Wonder If the Nationals will have as good luck on the American League diamond n» the Americana did when the conditions were reversed? Hahn, once the moat terrible batter for the Southern League,-led off the batting for the Sox. The first time up he fanned. Tinker was the first roan to get a bull outside the diamond. He filed out to Hahn. That was the last out In the second lnuln^*. Brown struck out five men In the flrat three Innings. \ The first really brilliant play of'the dny came In the fourth, when Sheckard sent u fast one down to Donohue. JIggs got hold of It by an effort and threw to Allrock, who covered flrat. The pitcher had to do some fancy work, bat he held the ball. Little Evers was spiked In the eighth Inning, but continued to play. Ths Injur/ Is not regarded as serious. Brown struck out seven iben, Altrock three. 1 Kllng had three passed balls scored agaln*t him. Pretty bad for a star catcher—but there Is the weather which, has to be takeu Into consideration.
