THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, TNT ESI) AY OCTOBER, 1906 ATLANTA SECURES FIVE OF MEN SMITH DRAFTED Spade, Sweeney and Walker From the Sally League, Ford, of Cedar Rapids, and Paskert, of Dayton, Were Secured. The Atlanta baseball club has Se cured by draft Spade, a pitcher, from Macon; Ford, a pitcher, front Cedar Rapid*; Sweeney, a catcher, from L’n-' lumbia, S. C.; Walker, a pitcher, freim Jacksonville, and Paskert, a left fielder, from Dayton. Austin, the star of the collection Smith tried to draft, was secured by some other club. 4 This was the news received at fire headquarters this morning In a tele gram from Secretary Farrell, of the national association. Secretary Farrell's telegram read: "Austin drafted by two clubs. At lanta lost Austin *(n the drawing. Oth ers O, K. Do you wish name another player, or shall I return check?" The loss of Austin was a hard blow to Billy Smith. "He was the best man In the lot,” said Smith. "I think that he is the best minor league third baseman I have seen this year. I wish I could have [ gothlm. - "The other men were all right, I Mid not. have much hope of getting Spade from Macon. He won 20 out of 26* games and Is one of the best ever turned out of the South Atlantic. Ford, who played with Cedar Rapids,' is a fine man. He won 26 and lost 8 games during the year. I don't know so much about Sweeney,,the Columbia man, but Larry Hoffman recommended him very highly and everybody who has seen him work says that he Is good. Walk er. that Jacksonville left-hander, Is an ail right man, and Paskert, the Dayton left fielder, will be one of the stars of the league. I think Paskert and Austin were the best men I put In draft* on. I suppose I was lucky to miss only one." Billy Smith saw another pretty g third baseman on his tours, and he will put In a draft on him, provided some other club has not already beaten him to the man. Grouched By Bad Decision B. H. S. Team Quits Field * Because of leaving the field before the game was finished nt Piedmont park Mon day afternoon, the Boys' High school'team forfeited to the .Georgia Military academy team. This piece of childishness ruined what was otherwise a hard-fought, well-played and—to the spectators—a thoroughly en joyable game. Undoubtedly, the Boys' High school team got the worst of the deelslou which caused ! the team to leave the field with tho score Georgia Military academy 12. Boys* High school 10. The Georgia Military academy ■ team made a forward pass and the ball i touched the gronud before the Georgia Mil ' Itary academy player reached It. This fad i was overlooked by Referee MrCay, nud Ik - allowed the play to go on. Instead of turn ,lng the ball over to the Boys* High school. • lu less thin a minute more the Georgia 'Military academy team had rr * * over for a third touelulown. This unfortunate mistake was one which ’ was atll! open to arbitration, but the Boys* High school team could not see It. 'Collecting their "dolls nnd their toy dishes" , they stalked majestically from the field. • They had undoubtedly "got the worst of *lt," but they had elected to give up all claims on public sympathy by doing tho "baby act.” Any team which leaves n field—no matter what the reason—until the ‘game Is over, forfeits all claim to consid eration. It was aisled ou the field Monday 'tbit, py n rule of the pren league, the captain who led his team from the field .was disqualified for the season. It Is to l»e hoped that this Is true, and that the jiennlty will be Inflicted to the limit. It tp to the time of tho fiasco, the game was a good one. Coach Patterson’s team showed marked Improvement lu their grasp of the game, but were bamlienped by the nines* of one of the plnyera and liecause of the fact thnt It was necessary nt the last minute to put n man nt end who had never pln.vcd thnt position liefore. The tweks, Doty, llsughtou and Clark, all showed up well. Up *to the time of thcV quitting, the High school played a plucky game. They .were run off their feet a half dosett time*, but they hung on lu a plucky manner nnd took n world of Itcatlng. Kline, the quar terback. played one of the star game* of the season. He handled Ida team well, - —* «m - • * with - him more than 75 yard*, itud outrunning every ninn emy team, and kicked touchdown. He was lu every play aud was the life of the team.

THF t\0O&. \ TAD’S CONCEPTION OF THE RETURN TO THE FOOTLIGHTS OF TERRY M'GOVERN ANDYOUNG CORBETT CORBETT KNOCKED M'GOVERN OUT TWICE AND MAY REPEAT DOSE WEDNESDAY NIGHT By TAD. New York, Oct. 16.—Terry McGov ern and Young Corbett will meet In the ring for the third time tomorrow night nt Philadelphia. . • . . Corbett has knocked Terry out^twlce and the opinion In prevalent In sport ing circle,, that-the boy from Denver ha* the Brooklyn lad’s goAt. There Is something about Corbett that seems to scare the ^Terrible One. It may b* that mesmeric eye of Corbett’s. It may be that Terry fear* the terri ble punch. It may be that Terry loses heart when he smashes the Denverite full on the jaw and It has no effect. At any rate, Terry McGovern Is not Terry when he face, Corbett. I remember sitting at the ring-side almost four years ago, when Terry and Corbett met for the second time. Terry had claimed that their previous battle was a fluke. He claimed that Corbett won with a lucky punch. This battle was to prove whether he did or not. Thnt afternoon when they weighed In at Harry Corbett's the lit tle Denverite did not even look over at Terry. He simply Ignored him. Terry watched Corbett dress, undress and weigh. He was all eyes and eager to pounce upon him. Corbett wae ns coot and ae distant as the north pole. It was part of hi, trick to make Terry lose hi, head, and It worked. When they entered the ring Corbett was the same; he did not look toward Terry’s corner before time. When the gong sounded Terry was not the slashing little tiger that wshaa seen before In battles. He was all hunched up, covered well and eased up to Corbett'llke the'lamb that goes to slaughter. Corbett feinted. , Terry missed nnd they clinched. He did the same again, nnd Terry missed once more, and then Corbett punched him In the • mouth, sending Terry flat on hi, back. As ho fell Terry smiled and shook his head toward his corner, a* much as to say, ”It’s no use; l can’t keep away from that fellow’s wallop.” He got uiNat the count of nine and fought like a tiger. Corbett kidded Terry, making the latter lose his head, but he failed to drop Terry again until the eleventh round, when he knocked him out. In the tenth round Corbett had Terry In a corner and was sayings, "Why don’t you quit again a, you did In Hartford?" • - Terry rushed with a right upper cut and as Corbett ducked esught him !n the pit of the stomach. The Denverite doubled lip, the crowd howled and Terry whaled away like a mad man, trying to drop him. ' Corbett kept hi, two hnnd, over his body and backed around the ring, t a k, j wince. Tho bell clanged, saving Cor bett and stopping the cheers of the Mc Govern men. In the eleventh Corbett came up fresh again., "You lire In Brooklyn, eh?” said Corbett, smiling at Terry. "Well, you came a long way to get tills," and bang went his left on Terry’s Jaw. Terry wobbled a bit, rushed In again and stopped another. He was In bad shape, and Corbett followed him across the ring. He drew Terry’s Are with a feint nnd then crossed his right over on the jaw, and Terry crumpled up like a punctured balloon. “You won’t get up.” said Corbett aa he looked down nt Terry. The latter rolled over on his back, then crawled upon his knees and seem ed to watt for the count. He steadied himself with the rope, and jdst as Referee Graney counted ten Terry got up. He was awfully groggy, barely able to stand, and was counted out. He was beaten. If Terry did get up before the ten he was helpless, aud Corbett might have dyne harm punch ing him. With all of Corbett's kidding and walloping, .it was a great battle. It looked like Corbett’most of the way. bur we never know at what moment Terry might get lilm. Wednesday night they meet again. It wilt be a regular old "log cabin candy slug fest,” too. Watch S. I. A. A. MAY CHANGE RULE BAR FROM TEAM MEN WHO HAVE NOT BEEN IN CALLEGE A YEAR. • When the Southern IntercolleguJ Athletic Association meets in Deiem ber. It Is probable that changes will hi made in the qualifications of athletic! in the future,. The most Important of these • will' probably be the passage of a rule that hereafter no man be allowed to compete In an Inter- collegiate contest until after he h a i been a student at the Institution on whose team he plays at least one year This Is a'rule that has been adopted’ (ty the universities of the Middle Vest and It Is believed that It will go f a J toward preventing the present can. vasslng for good prep, school and other material. > It Is probable that Dahlonega willtp. ply for admission to the S. I. A. A. at an early date. Heretofore Dahlonega has ranked m a prep, school, and players could learn there and go to other, colleges.and play on the teams there without being sub. Ject'to the one-year rule. It jls probable that the S. I. A. A. at It, December meeting will pass oih. er restrictions looking to the puriflc*. tlon of athletics In the South.

Coach Heisman Expects Men To Do Well Against Sewanee Coach Heisman was .well pleased when he returned to Atlanta Monday, after his visit to Athens to see the Da- vldson-Georgla game. While In Athens he had obtained a pretty good line on Davidson, Tech's adversaries on Octo ber. 27. A mass meeting of the students was held In the Tech chapel Monday morn ing and by subscription money was raised to carry forward the work of enlarging the grandstand and bleach ers. Mr. Heisman addressed the students and announced that Captain Davies.' who last week withdrew from playing on account of his studies, would, be back In the game through the rest of the season. Coach Heisman stated that while hi was making no predictions as to whet would happen next Saturday, yet Tech wasn't beaten, and he wouldn't say she was until. Sewanee had made the larger score. Heisman realties the handicap which he labors under on ic- count of the early game with Sewanee, and he will bend every energy during the coming week to whip Ills men Into eueb condition that they will give the Tiger the struggle of his life.' President Malheson made the an nouncement that the Georgia Railway and Electric Comparfy, through Presi dent Arkwright,' had agreed to put In > switch on the Luckle street car lint In order to allow proper car service.
