12 Football Is the Big Game Baseball Now a Dead One EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING THREE OF THE WORLD’S CHAMPIONS fttorot zr *&*co_iumn£* By “Straight Football THE ATLANTA GEORGIANS MONDAY OCTOBER, 15, 190G. Another Sporting Sermon \ On the Idiocy of Betting Tad Sees a Sunday Fight And Writes a Funny Story SOMfi SPORTLETS Tech Defeats Grant Team And Shows Improvement The Tech football Irani made it* third formal appearance Saturday afternoon {and won ita second victory, defeating the : strong Grant university team of rhatta* ' nooga by a score of 18 to 0. Everything considered, the Tech showing was a highly creditable one. and the back ers of the local team feel highly encouraged, though there Is no doubt but that they nre worried over the prospect of tackling Me* wanee next Saturday. The Tech team played to win Saturday —hot that was all. .Vo attempt wgs made to run up a high score. When roach i Ifelsman left for his trip to Georgfa-Dn- I vldson game, he told Quarterback Jtobert to play hi* team no harder than was nee* ' easary to win. It was realised that Grant was not going |n he especially pussllng, and. In consequence. It was not necessary ! to resort to anything hut straight football j to win the game. , Line hncka and end runs were carried with ' punts-*nd atich punts. Drown wasn't at 1 his heat, of course, but the way he got under the pigskin and lofted It down the ' field was sensntlonsl. As a rule, his punts ’ were not especially long, because he did i not try to make them long. Thirty-four j yarda was, perhaps, the average. Short, j high ones were much more to the point. But once, In the last hnlf of the game, j he let out and hooted the ball. It was * after the last touchdown was made, and . Grant kicked off toward the north goal. The ball went, perhaps. 26 or 80 yards, and then Brown grabbed If. He ran a step or two to get a good swing, and then hoofed the hall to within 10 yards of Grant's goal —a total distance of, at least, 75 yards. Brown's work was the most hrlHInnt of the day, hot little High tower Is right there when It comes to hnndlug out bouquets. He tuck Davies' place In the line-up, and filled It no well that the loss of dcr, and he Is going to moke one of the other star was hardly felt. Ills running with the ball was of tho most brilliant most vniuahie men on the team this year. The other back-field men—Hubert, Sweet, Hightower and Meant—played brilliantly, and It is n certainty that Tech Is going to have s strong team this year ou the of fenslve. The defensive work was also good, aud there was seldom any trouble In hold Ing the rushes of the Grant backs.

Georgia Loses Opener, But Team Does Notable Work •Special to The Georgian. 1 University of Georgia,’ Oct. 16.—In ) her first gamo of the season, which Georgia played here on Saturday with 2 Davidson, she showed the probability f of developing a strong eleven for the I season; and, although she was defeat- ‘ ed by the score of 15 to 0. this does not I Indicate her true strength. The work of the “red and black" throughout was wholly consistent, and her men finished as fresh ms when they started. The team work was charac- . terlxed by aggressiveness and a good i grasp of the new rules. This game was Georgia's maiden ef- , fort this year, while her opponents had « been seasoned by two gaties with very I strong teams, and the men composing ' the visiting team were much older anil • more mature than the Georgia men. • In fact, of the thirteen men In the ’ game for Georgia not over three or ! four are entitled to vote. While the score was 15 to 0, only j two touchdowns were scored by Da- ' vldson, and those only after every foot ( of the gridiron had been hotly contest ~ j ed. The other points were secured on ' a hicky drop kick from the 30-yard lino J by Elliott, with fifty second* to play } Jn the last half. It did nbt seem that either team ‘ was nble to use the forward pass suc cessfully, for In four Instances, twice by each team. It was attempted, and ; In none of these cases proved to be a ' ground gainer. . So man was on the field whose tack ling could equal that of Thurman. > Georgia's left end. Time after time , he broke through the Davidson line , and downed the runner before he could ‘ get well started. Thurman Is In his f first year at the university, and while | rather light, Is as fast as lightning. A I pluckier player hasn’t been seen on the Georgia Held In years. Fleming, at fullback, proved to be by far Georgia's best ground gainer, on one delayed pass he gained l!0 yards, charging through the line near center, passing every mfin on the Da vidson team except one of their backs, who finally nabbed him. The first score was made after three minutes of play, when Denny carried the ball over the line for a touchdown. In bringing the ball out for a try at goal It was touched to the ground, and, of course, queered the play. In the second half McKay went over for a touchdown anjl Elliott kicked goal. With the ball on Georgia's 30-yard line and less than one minute to play, Elliott placed a great drop kick be tween the goal posts. The line-up: Davidson. Georgia.

Horace Ketron, captain of the 1903 team. Is back at his old position at center, and Is playing the same ter rific game he played back In 1902 and 1903. Ketron will* certainly prove a world of strength to the team. As & general proposition, a man who - bets on a horse race ought to have a t keeper appointed to look after *hls money. • But a man who goes against this Piedmont park hand-book game ought to have a commission appointed to ex amine into hts sanity. It's awful to see men "crasy from the heat" in this chilly weather, but there / Is no other way of accounting for financial doings of those who bet ; against those handbooks at Piedmont ' park last week. { Ait frenzied game, It ought to make Standard Oil pink with perturhptlon. 'For all the horses “run for the book," and the lambs come In for a shearing, no matter how they finish. Talk about your "tight books"—well, ; those chaps make one that Is close to the limit. If the natural odds on a • horse would be 6 to 1, they give you 3 [to 1. The even money favorite Is let ‘ out In small blocks at 2 to 5 and 3 to j 6. but you can't have much. If you I did, the books might lose. It's a re- t mote chance, but the bonks don't take '■ chances. Safe and sure Is their motto. The way they do It Is to make from a 165 to a 195 per cent book. That Is. for every 6100 they pay out to the men who win, they make a profit of from 965 to |95—no matter «hleh horse , wins. Here's how It works, taking tho fourth race Friday hm an example. Here are the horses, the odds and the “bookmakers' percentage" (the book makers’ percentage, ns shown nelow, enables the penciler to tell what his profit will be, provided he makes “round boojt"—that Is. one In which he will pay out about the same amount on each •horse, no matter which one wins): Horse. . Foxy Grandma.* I*aura Hunter . Ann Hill Young Molo .. . Ethel Barry .. . Balshot The Haln ..... bettor puts up (and hence the cash taken In by the book), and the right- hand column the total, which Is the amount he would pay back on each horse If It w*on—supposing he made a “round book" and stood to pay out about $100, no matter which horse won: TECH SECOND TEAM BEATEN The Stone Mountain tram found tlio Tech, second team easy pickings at Tech field Saturday afternoon and won with ease by score of 16 to 0. The Stone Mountain team showed very remarkable form for so rly In thp season, and they will give a run to any team of tbelr weight hi the South. The bright particular feature of the game was the runulng of Woodruff. This youngster Imudles himself like a com ing varsity wonder and will make his mark the football world. The line up TECH SECOND.

All long shots! The Im- nevolent bookmaker goes you more than you bet, no matter which horse wins! However, It looks a bit more com mercial from the pencilsr’s viewpoint. In the first place, it makes little differ ence to him which horse wins, as he stands to pay out about the same amount on every horse. Here Is an other string of dope on ft. The left- hand column of figures shows the amount the bookmaker bets on each and expect to keep out of the lunatic Lorse, the middle column wIxai the asylum Is a mystery to the writer. Total cash taken In .. ..6192 So It becomes evident that though some lucky bettors are due to take down 6100, the bookie Is going to pull down a fist-full. Here Is how the pen ciler stands: If Foxy Grandma won he would pay out $100, leaving a profit of $92. • If Laura Hunter won he would pay out |99, leaving a profit of 693. If Ann HU! won he would pay out 699, leaving a profit or 693. If Young Molo won he would pay out 699. leaving a profit of $93. *If Ethel Barry won he would pay out 6100, leaving a profit of $92. If Balshot won he would pay out 699, leaving a profit of 693. If The Ram won he would pay out 6100, leaving a profit of 692. As long as the bookmakers are tak ing down 692 of every 6192 of your money they hffndle, how long do you think you are going to last at the game? And those are no unusual figures for the Piedmont park game. In the first race Friday the total percentage was 174—or a profit of 674 out of every $174 on any one contest handled. In the second race the percentage was 168 and in the third 171. Now. It happens to be a fact that only one man who ever played the races and made money out of It was "Pittsburg Phil." And, “gentle reader," you have about as much chance of be ing a “Pittsburg Phil" as you have of being a Caesar, a Napoleon, a Shake speare or a Noah. “Pittsburg Phil" made his money bet ting where the Odds were liberal and the bookmaker’s percentage small. He had absolutely the best Information ob tainable. he mAde the racing gnme u life study. Incidentally It killed him, but he made money. • The chances of the average bettor to do likewise against the local hand book proposition Is somewhere in tho region of i to 1,000.000. anybody tan buck that game O0O00000000000000000000000 FOOTBALL RESULTS. o O Local.

' Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 15.—Five touchdown, and four goal, kicked was what Vanderbilt did to the University of Mississippi on Dudley Held Satur day afternoon, the score being 29 to 0. Not once did the visitors succeed In making the distance required In three downs; In fhet, they never made half of it during the entire game. The Vanderbilt line held like a stone wall and the two muchly-touted “All- Southern" celebrities, Elmer and Con ner, proved easy picking for Jo Pritch ard and Ed Neel. The two Vanderbilt tackles boupced them out of place re peatedly and did not seem at all .wor ried In handling them. Finally Jo FHtchard was put out of the game for being “rough” with Elmer. The latter claimed Pritchard slugged him. Jo says he pushed him with bis open hand and that Elmer Is 'Vellow'' and a -big baby. too. Neither Conner nor Elmer got Into many of the plays, and they did little tackling. The star work for Mississip pi was done by Wettlln, an end on Se- wanee two years ago, but now playing quarter for Mississippi. ■ The defense Vanderbilt has built up this year has been simply marvelous. Neither Kentucky State nor Mississip pi was able, to budge the line a yard. Innls Brown and Patterson are missing from it, but in their steHd are such stalwarts ns Kd Noel. Chorn, King, Sherrill and others, who are playing fast, aggressive football. Vanderbilt has developed two fast and heady quarterbacks In Costen and Hall. Both run with the ball .well, call signals rapidly and display good judgment In running the team. Vanderbilt's gains Saturday were made mostly on straight football, and the big squad of Sewanee players down to “get a line" didn't see anything they had not known before. Craig und the Blakes (three of them) circled the ends for long runs time and again, and Owsley Manler, Craig and the Blakes bucked the Mississippi line for long distances. Vanderbilt tried the quarterback kick on one occasion and made a pretty gain with It, a Vanderbilt inan speeding out on the end, down tho field, and getting the balk The Commodores were severely pen alized on several occasions, one time half the distance of the field being given Mississippi. No one was se riously hurt. A good-sized crowd was out. 0 over 0. O Wisconsin 6, Lawrence 0.

New York, Oct. 15.—Jeff O’Connell, an English featherweight, fought Char lie Lucaa, a New York lad, yesterday upon a West Side pier and battered him fearfully In a fifteen-round fight. It was at 3 o'clock that the bout was to take place. We all met In a bum saloon over on Eighth avenue, somewhere near Thir ty-seventh street, and waited for the mitt artists. There was a restaurant upstairs, man with red grogans was the chef, and- he was as busy as a one-armed paper-hanger with the hives. The crowd that wAited was hungry and the red-whiskered gen£ kept tossing ham and eggs in the crowd so fast that you could not count the orders. Over In the corner where the muddy tan bark had accumulated as thick as a mattress they had pitched the ring. Home of the crowd sat upon u little house built there: others had boxes, and some stood Inside the little ring. Jeff O’Ootinell, with a bunch of re fined-looking gentlemen, entered first. Jeff has a little pug nose. And a pret ty shape, in a few' minutes Lucaa, who looks like a "Black Hand" man, entered with his Bharkey-llke build and sat In a big upholstered chair. They had n>» stools, so each man grabbed nil arm chnlr. It was to be fifteen rounds, break clean, and the winner was to have Kid Murphy as his next opponent. Kid was introduced, said hello to some of the fellows, and beat It back to the crowd. Bang, crash, sing, went something, and the fight started. O’Connell, who wears a swell left, began to comb the features off Lucas and soon had him covered with blood. The latter was much shorter than the Britton, and tossed a loose right around as though he didn't care what it hit. Jeff fed him lefts and rights until his opponent's nose began to resemble the beak worn by Cirano de Bergerac and kept pelting. It wept along this way until the sixth, and then O’Con nell stung Ida man with a right In the pit of the stomach. Lucas folded up hi* knees, but he held on. He was covered with blood, but stuck the round opt by following the advice of belladona plasters and hanging on. Again in the twelfth he made Joe Grim look like a sickly child. He took by actual count tern on the beezer, six bn the Jaw. four on the ear, seven In the front und twelve on the Mbs. He was a* hard to dow n as a big pill, and only fell once from weakness, not a punch. On with the fight. The last three rounds were slaughter. Lucas reeled nround the ring, blood dripping from bis mouth and nose, and he was tak- j Ing the licking of his life. O'Connell did not rest a minute, but belted him from side to side.as though he was a, bag. It Is doubtful whether Lucas could have gone three minutes more. He wan a sight a* he left the ring, but O'Connell had not a mark. G.M.A..PLAYS HIGH SCHOOL The Georgia Military academy football team and the Boys' High school eleven will meet Monday afternoon nt Piedmont park. Both teams are strong and a good game seems certain.

The punch was delivered so quickly that even those In the immediate vicin ity of the ringside scarcely knew what was coming off. Willie went down for the limit, and at firat showed no Inclination to get up. When he did get up, Fitzgerald was visibly groggy, and was compelled to stall a bit. Lewis, however, aeeing hta advantage, was after him. As soon as'Fitzgerald assumed a standing position.. Lewis w alked Into him . Again Fits, went to the floor. By this time Lewis was carried.nwoy with excitement, and when young Erne tried to throw water on his back.

BARNESVILLE BEATEN. Special to The Georgian. Auburn, Ala., Oct. 15.—The fast, plucky and aggressive team from Barnesvllle met defeat at the hands of Auburn here Saturday by a score of lj» to 0. The game was one of the most'brilliant and Interesting ever played here. Although the Gordon managers for both hfs Kansas City cadets were lighter than Auburn, they f and Denver bail teams next season. It Is said Jimmy Britt has hopes of Inducing Battling Nelson to sign up for a fight In San Francisco In Decem ber. He thinks that a third contest between the Dane and himself would be a bigger drawing card than another Gans-Nelson match. Sutboy, the Boston trotter, won sev en races out of eight starts Non the Grand Circuit this year and cleaned up 614,772 In purses. Ed Geers heads the list. of money- earning drivers this season, as usual, having 627,785 to his credit.
