TECH BUSY AGAIN
TTTF! ATLANTA GKOKGIAN. SATl KDAY OCTOBER, 27, 190C.
DAVIDSON IS READY
TO TACKLE TECH
North Carolina Team Is Heavy, Strong and
Confident—Tech in Better Con
dition Than Ever Before.
•They’re or* nt 3 o’clock today on Tech
Hold In n gam* which promise* to l*c ns
warmly and an cloaely contefted »* any «*f
the staton. The •‘they" bcforeinentloned
refers to Tech and Davldaon. which two
aggregation* of gridiron heroes get to
gether In a content which, If not of real
championship clast, at least has n lot of
(tearing t?n deciding which team la test In
North Carolina and Georgia.
The Davidson testn Is a good one. nil
right. Coach Helatnan adroit* that with
great gusto, and he la a Judge of football
teams.
The Dartdaon squad is made up of sen
imbed material. Not n man In the regular
line-up la a freshman. Every one played
last year eCher on the Davidson team or
■a a euhstliute or scrub. In consequence
the players are able to work together bet
ter than would a lot of new men thrown
together without any chance to get used to
each other's peculiarities.
Conch Graham, who handles the team. Is
a product of the University of Virginia.
He played right end with the Vlrjpnla team
In 1904 under Sanford of Yale. loiat year
he was assistant coach of the football team
at Virginia. The members of last year’s
regular team playing this year are Lents,
Whitaker. Seymour, Sadler, and McKay.
Denny and Elliott were tubs. The rest
were scrubs. •
‘ The Davidson team has played three
games up to date. The opener waa with
Oak Kldge, which Davidson won—11 to 0.
The other games were 0 to 0 with North
Carolina and 16 to 0 Victory over Georgia.
While there Is no undue confidence
the part of Davidson that their team will
(tent Tech, yet It Is n certainty that the
North Carolina players espeet to find the
local hunch a comparatively easy proposl
tlon. That surprises may eventuate seems
likely.
Tech Is reasonably confident, too. Not
of winning, [trrhapg, bat anyway, of hold
ing Davidson safe and possibly of defeat
ing the representatives of the Old Domin
ion. • *
The game ought to attract a great crowd.
The Ideal weather and the fact that there
are no counter-attractions, ns there wore
Inst Knturdsy, should guarantee u good
turn-out. Davidson has no particular fol
lowing In Atlanta, but local crowds nre be
ginning to turn out for football ns they do
for baseball— Just to see good games played.
Tech carpentry forces have l»een busily
working for the last week on Increased
seating rapacity at the park and before
long Tech park will be able to accommodate
ns ninny patrons as any In the middle
Month. «
The probable line-up for today’s game fol
lows:

Many Big Stables Will Race
This Winter in California
By J. 8. A. MACDONALD.
New York, Oct. 27.—President Thomas
II. Williams, of the New California Jockey
Club, who returned to Han Francisco,
Cal., from Belmont park late Inst week,
departed Iwnrlug nil nssurnnee of the visit
of aevcrnl of the moat poweffhl atnbles
now In the East to the California metrop-
oils this coming winter. There will be one
hundred and fifty straight days of racing at
Oakland. Cal., Just across from Frisco. The
long moetlng opens on November 17. Per
haps the most effective bit of missionary
work accomplished by Mr. Williams and
his hustling nontenant, J. II. Hcanlon, was
the luring away from New Orleans, lot.,
to the Golden West of “Ham” Hildreth.
For many a winter, Hildreth niul bis
horses have been the very life 'of the old
Fair Grounds, He will race nt the Emery
ville race course this winter. Already he
has shipped thirty-one hend-nnd a band of
promising yearlings. Before going home,
Mr. Williams definitely secured Jockey
Walter Miller. The riding aenantlon of
the New York season will work In C^llfor
nln, ns will Hildebrand, Knapp, Jones and
Horner. Among the ownera who will ship
their stables during the next fetf days'ure
Walter Jennlugs. ••Handy” McNnughton, J.
T. Muir, J. J. O’Flnberty, Jules Carson.
••Barney” 8chrlel»er. L. J. Holland nnd T.
M. Cnasldy. “Sandy” McXaughton brings
west one of the greatest colts ever sent
over the Rockies. This Is the Voter colt
Vox Popull. This youngster was sold by
James R. Keene for $4,004. It Is a ques
tion whether $23,000 would get the horse
from the Scotchman now. Unless ho Is
out weigh ted by the handlcnper. this horse
will be a bigger hit than was Dr. Gardner
or Dr. I^ggo last winter.
THE RENAISSANCE OF BASEBALL
Sine* truth and ebnstancy are vain,
Since neither love nor aenae of pain,
Nor force of reaaon can peraunde,
Then let example be obeyed. •
—Granville.
During the departed aummer I fre
quently urged that baaeball vvns 2u
year, behind the lima, aay* J. B. Sheri
dan . In The St. Loula Po«t-DI,patch.
and that baaeball player, and man
ager, were slow, torpid and thlck-
•kulled. Plain talk like thl, I, not cal
culated to win general popularity. I
wrote what I felt with the hope that It
might do aome good aonlfewhere; that
It might advance the game of baaeball
nnd bring more thoroughly Into prac
tice Ita Hne point,, and. In turn, more,
thoroughly introduce these to the peo
ple. ao that. Inatead of yawping and
yelling at umpire and abualng visiting
players and cheering errors, the spec
tators might alt quietly and enjoy the
beauties of the game under thorough
demonstration.
The work of the White Sox this sea
son will do more to bring thl, about
than alt the preaching a Demosthenes
can do ln.a lifetime. The recorjl of this
team, especially this year. Is worthy of
the close study of men who manage
men all over the world.
It began the season with the lops .of
Its best ball player, Callahan. Suppose
Hitting in the Clinches
Suits Coffroth All Right
Much .discussion has been engaged Ip of
Into among the pugilistic fans over the
quefetion of whether bitting In the clinches
should l>e allowed. It seems tlio opinion
of the real fighters that hitting when either
innu hns nn nrm free will always guaran
tee a real fight nnd not a hugging match.
The opinion of Jimmy Coffroth, the great
fight promoter, on the question Is of In
terest. When the Snm Berger-J’hllndelphla
Jack O’Brien fight fell through because
O’Brien Insisted on no bitting In the
clinches, and clean breaks, Coffroth sold:
•‘Gentlemen. I do not wish to handle
the match under those conditions. My ex
perience has taught me that the public
desires ns ranch, fighting as is possible to
be crowded Into the three minutes of each
round. With the conditions suggested by
O’Brien, this match will develop Into a
question of who shall referee. Berger will
want his construction of the rules to pre
vail nnd O'Brien will be naturaly solici
tous that the referee Is the one who will
at all times see his end of the contention.
We do not want this kind, of a fight.
Give us a match that the public likes—
the kind of fighting they like—to-wit:
lighting nt nil times when either arm la
free. Let's drop the match If you can not
agree to that. Unless you do. the contest
Is off as far as I am concerned.”
JOE BEENE SAW AUBURN PLAY
Walking up and down the sidelines at Birmingham and watching
with the deepest Interest the doings of the Sewanee and Auburn teams
In the game. Friday afternoon was a short, stoutly built young gentle
man named Beene, Joseph Beene, In fqpt.
Mr, Beene went to Birmingham as Tech’s representative and he
went to get a line on the Auburn team which plays in Atlanta against
Tech next Saturday afternoon.
On the strength of the Information secured by the assistant coach of
the Tech aggregation, Coach Hetsman will base his plans for offense
nnd defense In the game next Saturday, which, by the way, promises to
be one of the most luscious of the large crop of peach games played In
the South thlB season.
McAleer Io,t Wallace! That I* what
Jones lost In Callahan. The club was
without an outfield nnd possessed a
very weak hitting third baseman. So-
called expertH who rate men as ma
chines figured that It would not be bet
ter than fifth or sixth In the American
League. Despite a bad start and In
juries to Davis. Tannchllf. fsbell and

pernio races ever known In baseball.

CORNELL MAY
-JOLT TIGERS
New York, Oct. 27.—Cornell’* team Ar
rived here last evening nnd a look nt th*
Ituaky bunch of athletes Coach Glenn s
Warner brought down with him fr„m
Ithaca shows that the confidence of c or .
nell In the ability of her boys to twist
the Tiger’s tall Is not from hearsay alon.*
The Cornell boys looked big and strong
enough to “do things.” Coach Warner | 9
not saying much, but he did aay Inat i.jgi,t :
"We have a fighting chance, and we wlii
keep the Tlgera hnstllng. They will km.*
they have been playing football. I think
the odds of 3 to 1 on Princeton are out
of line, nnd doe# not represent the respec
tive ability of the two teams. Very fe*
bets were recorded last night for the
aon that Princeton had not arrlvo<f # i» ttnu
last evening.
“Out In Princeton they think there i 9
nothing on the football earth thnt caa
wallop the Tigers.”
The Princeton team arrived from Prince-
ton this morning., They were, as confident
of winning as If they bad to face Buck-
nell.
The game will be started at 2:30 o'clock,
and la the first and only big football came
In the city this season.
FOOTBALL TODAY- !
EAST AND WEST. I
Right on top of the finish In that race
It got out and won the championship
of the world fronra club that had been
having an easy race In Its own league
and which had the championship won a
month before the’season ended.
Now, what excuse can the great
Cleveland club, admittedly the strong
er Individual aggregation In the world,
urge for Its miserable showing? It
possesses the three beBt Inffeldera in
the world*—Lt^le,-Bradley and Turner
—two good mat basemen, two good
outfielders, four fine pitchers and three
excellent catchers.
And New York and Philadelphia and
St. Louis and Boston, what excuses
can they urge? Not one.
When I made by now celebrated
“Craxy Crack” about six teams in the
American League race being good
enough to win the National League
pennant I was moved thereto by the
vision of the Giants, the world's
champions. For some years I had not
seen very much of baseball. I had been
told that the Giants were a great team.
When I saw them play I said to Mr.
Planner: “It must be n bad league In
which such men as these cun win a
championship and a worse one from
which they can win a world’s cham
pionship.”
Genius Is all right In Its way. It will
still lead, but It must be backed by
solid qualities and by everlasting hard
work. The day of the old “natural”
ball player la done. There never was
such a thing as a natural ball player,
anyhow. Anatomist*will tell you thai
throwing Is & most unnatural motion.
