UP-TO-DATE NEWS OF SPORTING WORLD SPORTING SPECIALS EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING a DAVIDSON TEAM TO BE TECH’S NEXT OPPONENT Saturday afternoon the Tech football team will line up for lta fifth game thla aeaaon. The strong Davidson team will be the opponenta of the local players, and It will be a hard game for the Georgia Smithies. That they can win It aeems likely, but they have their work cut out for them and It Is only by efforts which will make Hercules’ labors look puerile that they will be able to accomplish the task set. Davidson has an uncrossed goal line to brag about. No team has scored this year against the North Carollnans. The University of North Caro lina team, one of the strongest It appears that the South.has turned out In years, could only tie Davidson, and the greatly Improved Georgia team suc cumbed with the score 15 Ho 0 against them. "Davidson has a great team," said Coach Helsman Thursday. "I saw them play Georgia, and they will be hard to beat." And this feeling Is noticeable among the members of the team and the Tech supporters. However, the local players are not discouraged. They feel that though they were fairly beaten last Saturday and by a better team, that the score does not represent the respective merits of the two teams and that Sewanee "outlucked” them. In consequence of the fact that their showing against the strong Sewanee team was good and because they have Improved mate rially during the last week of practice the Tech players think that they have a good chance of victory Saturday afternoon.

Not only la Coach Graham pleased with the outlook for their gome, hut every member of the student-body ha a absolute confidence In the ability of every single ntnn on the team. It la generally conceded that Tech will ■trike n different quality of “red nnd Mack” from what abe la accuatomed to find from the Unlveralty of Georgia—abe may expect It to be “all wool and n yard wide." Uavldfon'a goal line hna not been crossed this year, and out of the three games she has played, two were won by a score of IS to 0. and the other one, the game with the University of North Carolina, David son kept the ball In North Carolina's ter ritory all the time. Hence, It seems rea sonable to suppose that the Tar Ileela will fire the fiery Yellow Jackets a good battle.

TECH BUSY The last real atrenuouslty on Tech field before the Davldaon game wae displayed Thursday afternoon, when Coach Helsman had the whole squad out and put them through their paces at high speed. AM the men on the team are In fairly good condition, with the exception of Sweet, whose knee le still troubling him. On account of thla fact Sweet will be switched from full back to end, and Adamson will be sent to full back. Adamson has been playing on the scrub team for two or three years and Is a good man. The switch of Sweet to end will give the Tech team two large, powerful, fast ends. Outside of Vanderbilt, no two end men In the South are likely to compare with Brown and Sweet In weight nnd spied. Aside from the two changes men tioned the team will line up the same against Davidson that It did agalnat Sewanee. ■ The practice this week has been most encouraging. The teams have now learned the plays and tactics fairly well nnd Coach Heleman has turned his attention, as he expresses it, "to putting backbone into them.” The coach wants them to charge more flrcely, to tackle harder, to start quicker and to work harder and faster. With this end In view the hardest work of the year has been done during the past week. The scrimmages have been battles of the fiercest nature. The varsity has been running all over the scrubs and bat tering the line to piece*. As fast as one scrub man has been tired out In a practice game another fresh one has gone In in his place and In consequence the varsity men have been worked to the very limit. In Wednesday's struggle the scrubs were particularly vicious In their rushes, charges and tackles and laid out five varsity men. However, none of the Injuries were serious. The Tech team will do only enough work Friday to keep on edge and bar ring some unexpected accidents every man will go Into the game In as good or better condition than he was last Saturday. ’DAHLONEGA GETS BUSY COACH CRAWFORD’S MEN OFF TO PLAY ELLIJAY AND MARY« VILLE TEAMS* C.

And ha did It with only three fingers; what would he do If he had four?” Just what the great Chicago National pitcher could do with four fingers Is ■what many followers of the game are wondering. Brown, himself, however, makes the startling statement that he could not pitch as well. The loss of one finger gives him a wider stretch for hi* other fingers, and thereby permits him to grip the ball more firmly than the average hand Is able to grasp It. Brown Is the sensation of baseball this year. He Is to 1906 what Christy Matthewson was to 1905. Brown's work has aroused other In teresting comment on the hands of bad players. It Is not generally known, but there Is a man on the Detroit team crippled In the same way. He ts Captain Bill Coughlin. The forefinger of Coughlin'* left hand I* gone, and yet It Is with that hand that he makes those sen sational stops that have won hint a position this year by the eld* of Bill Bradley and Jimmy Collins as a third baseman.

Charley Carr, whose dlsnoslllon pre vented him from being one of the best first basemen of the American League, probably has the knack of handling a hard thrown ball or a drive from the bat down to a finer point than any oth er player. To shake his hand one would think him n ribbon-counter clerk. When an Inttelder threw a man out at first Carr would reach for the hall.

Klberfeld, however, has the trick of fighting the bull, and yet giving Just ho much with It that It doe* not hurt himself greatly. His hands, from his long year* at play, are scarred and calloused.

New York, Oct. 26.—Cornell will come down from Ithlea with the firm Idea that she Is going to wallop the Tigers. That 70 to 0 score the other day has aroused the* student body of that Institution to the conviction that the "Cornell yell" boys are little short of being Invincible. But when was ever there a time that a college football player did not think his team was going to win? 1 ..ere Is never a time that those boys quit. They don't know what that Is. The old fellows can be a mile ahead at any stage of the game, but the old college never-say-dle spirit Is always there and they strive harder In an up hill fight than when things are going all their way. The beating, as Is natural, favora the Tigers. I heard of one bet of 2 to 1 be ing made on the Tigers, and about that odds will doubtless prevail up to the time of the playing. Jimmy Collins Announces That He Is Still in Game Those friend* of Jimmy Collins, erst while the Boston American captain-mana ger, who expected that the Buffalo player would return home roaring against the fate which separated him from his club to ward the close of the Reason, were disap pointed, the majority pgreeably, In the at titude assumed by ColllDf. Jimmy has little to say about the un fortunate lioeton Bltuatlon. Jfe declares that he thinks It will bo some weeks tie- fore the question of hla baseball future Is settled, nnd evidently Is not yet rec onciled to a belief that he will be seen in other than a Boston uniform next year. “The controlling Interests of the Bos ton club nnd myself understand each other,” said Collins recently. “I had a talk with General Taylor, owner of the club, and I think that before long I will know definitely wbat my position la.” Collins looked good nnd la evidently far from satisfied with the Impression which went forth toward the last of the season to the effect that he deserted his club. “It woi unfortunate that I hurt my leg as I did,” said Jimmy. ”1 know a lot of people thought that I ought to l»e playing when It was a physical Impos sibility, nnd that made matters worse. I certainly wanted to get In the game bad enough. There lias been si lot of talk about the nbaence of condition among our boys. That Is not true. The team was ns well conditioned a Flub ns any In the league, but we suffered In the catchers' department. You can not Imagine how It hurt us to be deprived of the services of Crlger, who was a host lu himself nnd who, l am happy to say, gives every Indication of being himself next year.” UPTON READY TO CHALLENGE WANTS TO RACE UNDER NEW MEASUREMENT RULES THIS TRIP. New York, Get. 26.—'*! wish to tell you that I have not given up hope of having another chance to take back that old trophy,'* said Hlr Thomas Upton, at a bou quet by the Brooklyn Athletic Club, Inst night, **and I ho|n* soon to be able to have the way for another challenge. I shall never rest autlsticd until the <|ip take* a trip back to England. The new measure ment rule of the New York Yacht Club provides for a man* wholesome typo of iMsit, and I hope that the next race will be sailed under those rules.'' At an Informal luncheon In the Midday It appears that no matter wbat talk may be to the effect that Collins will be seen outside of Boston next year, the Buffalo boy has not abandoned hope of remaining with his Boston associates, and nothing definite has been done toward transplanting him. “I have made and have many frlenda In the Boston public,” aald Collins. *T have enjoyed playing there as never before In my Irasebay career, and I do not believe that those frleuds have left me. If, how ever, the Boston public demands, a change nnd the club Is with It, I will accept the decision, and go elsewhere, no matter wbat my regret may be.” Collins says that he has not consld ered the proposition that he buy some stock In the Buffalo pennant winning Eastern League club and play on- and manage It next year, nor has he done any thing about a transfer to other of the big league clubs, nor docs he believe any thing has been settled between the Boston club and Chick t Stahl, his staunch friend, which would insult In Stahl taking over permanently the reins of the Boston cham pions. Collins expects that a* meeting will he held, nt which General Taylor, of the Bos< ton club, and President Ban Johnson, of the American League, will settle bis fate, and he scarcely expects thnt they will get together until the American League meeting'this wluter. There has beeu a rumor In some quar ters to the effect thnt an entire change In the Boston club control may transpire, but Collins, If he knows of anything of the sort, docs not admit !t.~BuffaIo dis patch to The Boston Journal. MAY DRAFT MULLANEY IN PLACE OF WALKER "It I can't get Pitcher Walker, then I guess I can get First Baseman Mul- laney," says Billy Smith, "the which" he will forthwith do. Billy does not want Mullahey on his baseball team. He has a first base- man In Jim Fox who Is as good as any man's first baseman, but he will take a shot at Mullaney "on speck." Mullaney Is a good first baseman. Any minor league mogul would be glad to have him. So Blllji thinks he will draft him on suspicion. “It’s this way.” said ’ Billy, "tt Walker was traded for Mullaney and the deal Is allowed, then my draft for Walker Is no good and I lose a pitcher. But If Mullaney was traded to Jack sonville before the drafting, season, then he Is subject to draft by Class A teams, and I guess I'll take a shot at him. I am going to have a talk with the president about It, and then we'll do business. If we can't have Walker we'll compromise on Mullaney" and Billy emitted a fiendish chuckle’ which boded III for Jacksonville's desires ta have Mullaney as their manager next year. ■ ‘ LIVE BASEBALL DOPE.

' 'Why, our. game with St. Louis,' I Billy Smith Is much elated over the opinion expressed by Belden Hill, man ager of the Cedar Rapids teant, about Ford, the new pitcher drafted from Cedar Rapids by Smith. "I regard Belden Hilt as one of the best Judges of baseball players In America today,” said Smith, "and what he says about a player goes with me. He can Judge players with any of them.” "You have got a crackerjnck man In Ford.
