MOST OF ATHENS COMING TO SEE SATURDAY’S GAME GEORGIA’S KICKER IN ACTION ’Special to The Cieorglsn. University of Georgia. Athens. Go.. Nor. 7.—At u groat mau meeting of the student body held In the university chapel Tuesday . afternoon, 200 students signified that it eras their iutention to go over on the great Special train which is to In* run over the Seaboard Air Line railroad Saturday tuoru- , ing, reaching Atlanta about 9:9) a. m. Two hundred have already decided to go over, and there will probably be many more. The game promises to Imj the greatest fought in this part of the country this year, end with the large number of Geor* gia rooters coming over there will lie some tail things doing ut Tech park Saturday. While the odds slightly favor Tech, the ; Georgia men are not despairing, and are determined to win out. if. by any way, 1 the trick can 1** turned, or. at any rate, sire them the hardest light of their lives. The wrubs have been lining up against •vanity every afternoon, and. although the sera’* have a very heavy line, they seem totally unable to atny on their fret against the heavy line plunges of the 'varsity Imck- Weld. The team seeins to be In a good eondJ- lion, and every man is determined to put up the greatest footlmll he has in him. Judging from dope, Tech has a shade the better of the contest on paper, but If fhera is any gnttie of the year where dope la val ueless, It’s n Georgia-Tech football game. Tech’s defeat of Auburn came as a sur prise to everybody, while the red and black fared better than even their most sanguine supporters had hoped, piling up f«r» points against 0 for the hard-working: Baptists In Macon. The famous Cannon, whose advertised ap pearance last spring at the Georgia-Tech baseball games in Atlanta, caused such a furore ami disappointed everybody when ii did not show, will positively not be brougt oil this trip. However, the university band will be there in full force with a new reper toire. MERE EXPENDITURE OF MONEY NEVER MADE BALL TEAM GREAT Baseball writers are flying In the face of facts when they pdvocate the expenditure of money to make teams great. Money can no more buy great- neas In baseball than It can a place in heaven, says J. B. Sheridan In The Post-Dispatch. Although the integers of the great | baseball teams of the past and present were annealed into a perfect whole without the aid of money, and while In many cases the teams on which vast sums have been spent proved gross and dismal failures, we are ever being told that money makes teams great. What money, may we usk, was spent to make the White Box great? What priceless players have been purchased ! for that team? What did Jones, Davis, White, Altrock and Welsh cost It? I What fabulous sum was given for the lucky ftohe, who hit In many games? What untold wealth was laid out for Donohue, who saved so many? What was bald for Hahn? How much for Dougherty? Davis and Jones are scarce fair rosea to cite, as they come to Chicago in time of inter-league warfare. But Walsh and White and Altrock and Hahn and Dougherty did not. The last two were castoffs from the New York club. Upon the other hand, where wax the Cincinnati club, on which untold sums- had be*n spent? Where the Cleveland Blues, another money-made team? If spending money would moke teams great, surely Cincinnati would be the champion of champions. What honor comes from buying a baseball team as you would buy a lot of sheep? Any man can buy some kind of a pennant just as he can buy some kind of »v home and some kind of a wife, If he has the money to do It with. In not any way of money cun true happiness or success be bought. There are many things which money will not buy, illy as the young and old baseball writers may tinderstsnd It. The way to get a baseball winner Is to “man age” to get 4t. The work of the White Sox and the Athletics, teams on which very little money has been spenti when contrasted with that of New York and Cincin nati. upon which endless sums have beon dissipated, should have taught us this. But there are some things In the world which are very hard to do. The hardest of them, I find. Is to make baseball writers think. Even Main- man. the idol, cannot do this. V ■ ;WHEN CANTILLION j j * bluffed boston| peeking of Joe Cantlllou, the new mstm ger of the Washington*, a Boston follower •of the game has this story to tell of Joe during hla days with the Indicator: “Joe Cantillon was umpiring in tbs Na tional league at the same time that llar- raan Long was managing the Boston club. t *000 day a drlssle set In and ns the lloatons ^'wem behind Ismg was very anxious to have Al*ba game called. Again and again ho called attention of Csutillon to the weather, oe ordered hliu to go on nml play. Vn v ~->kept on naggiu^ and Anally, goaded all endurance. Joe told L»ng to go and play bis game, and If he again trhed him he would forfeit the gnino the other side. Ctmtlllon went on with 'the game, and things progressed smoothly enough until It tiegau to rain harder, and some of the bteacherltes began to leave. Long ut ones rnshed In front of Cantillon and aald: 'Now you have got to call the gime; now you have got to call It,* ami Cantillon said: ’Yes, and I do, 9 to u In favor of the other side.’ Long was fulrly astounded, and It was some time Indore the spectators caught on to tlio state of thlpgs and slowly filed off the field. There » was a lively scene In the dressing room aft er the game. The triumvirs were all there, 1 and Billings, the most Iraselhle member of the trio, let himself out in no uncertain way. Joo sat quietly, controlling himself admirably, and made no answer to the tirade that was going on. 'I wish he had .vmasbed you in the face,' said Bllliugs. nl- [ lading to Long and speaking to Joe, That ' waa too much for the latter, und he aald: ! 'You haven’t got n mau on fhe team that | can aiussh me in the face, and If you think you have Just let him come buck of the stand and try it on.* There was nothing doing, bnt there was the utmost respect i lor Joe, and It was shown very plnlnly that h# was not n man to lie trifled with.” BRIEF NOTE8 OF SPORTS.

Tomorrow night. nt lanraater, Pa., is the time and place set for the six-round tight to 1 « ome off between the two big fellows. Jack I Johnson and Jtm Jeffords. In the opinion | of most follow t-r* of the game, Johnson should be ii bit* to put It all over Ills op l»onent. The annual fall golf tournament of the Coon try Club of Atlantic City opens to morrow. to continue thrdugh the remainder, of the week. A large and high claim list of entries Is reported for the tournament. j jVERY LATEST DOPE j i| ON FOOTBALL RULESj There ure many-Interpretations of certain fnotball rules given by officials, says the Boston Journal, and Walter Camp, great Tala loader and cbalrtpau of the rules'committee, made known many things regarding the rules that were not generally known at the dlnntr of the Hartford Alumni Club held recently. In the course of his remurks bn said tnsuy things, the most Imported of which were: A fluid goal ia not necessarily a drop |dck or place kick, for If a player should kick the l»a|l when It waa rolilug along the Held nnd It should cross over the bar It would count. If the hall should bit a player, or the goal posts, aud Imuml over the bur It would nlso count. "The differ ence l>etweeii u safety and a touch-back," Mr. Camp said, "always bothered the spec tators dud a good many officials besides, and he endeavored to explain It.* If thu Im petus that takes tho bull neroas the goal line Is from itn opponent and a defending Player then touches It down. It Is a touch- buck. Hut If the Impel us comes from one of the defending side and oue of that sldn then touches It down It Is a safety and •omits against the defenders. It Is not a safety If a ball Isninds from the arms of a defender endeavoring to catch It close to ic mid then g«H*s back of the line und Is touched down by h defender. In tin* mutter of the fulr catch, there has been a return to the old rules of slguullng with the raised hand. But any player who was Nick of the mau who kicked the hall hss nn equal right to try for the ball with his opponent pud cau run into him. even though he has signaled for n fulr catch. This the crowds have not realised yet. Heretofore It has often happened that the ends have got dowu the Held nml been ready to pouuca on the opponent cutchtng . ball, tint have had to let .him get It, but uow. with quarterback kicks allowable, the ends, by being behind the quarter when he kicks, may be able to get a chance k * the old way POPULAR OFFICIAL. HEISMAN THINKS GEORGIA WILL PUT UP HARD FIGHT If the work which the Tech football team did in preparation for the other games of the year could Justly be termed stren uous—nnd it could, nil light—then one hes itates to write the adjective which applies to what the Techitea are doing this week In their effort to get ready for Georgia. For beyoud a shadow of n doubt, the Yellow Jackid are working nbbut twice as hard as ever before. The feeling nmong the Tech followers Ir that Georgia is. to lie an easy victim.

Just wTiy the Tech backers are so brim med full of confidence is hard- for any student of dope, weights, measures and football to understand. Tech has a good team, of course.

He pitched one one- hit game, one two-hit game, three three Gift games and one five-hit game. His ihowing was such as to promise Hliiglug loud nml clear above all the otbe demands of the ball players Is the cry for eeplng m«>dlflontlon of the foul strike rule. There Is no possible chance of the rule Itself being rescinded. It has come to be accepted as much a port and parcel »f baseball law ns are the three-strike and four-ball clause*. In fact, the general pr!u- •Iple of the rule is admitted to be fair and just to ait eoiieerned. But that there nhould great distinction between the fouls that fall close to the dlnmoiid and the long, hard drives Just outside of fair territory Is now admitted by pitchers, batters, mag nates sad spectators. Modified, as the rules committee will he asked to modify It. the foul strike rule'will be pre-eiuinently Just. There Is apparently no other way to stop the tedious, tiresome practice of expert batters in "fouling off the good ours" in order to get a tsuw ou balls. Moreover, when the pitcher enn so esti mate a hatter’s weakness that ihe can make him hit the little fouls that In the old days prolonged the game and counted for noth ing, he is eutitled to have them called strikes. Legislation ngulnst the pitcher bin gone quite fur enough. In one game In Philadelphia last *ra*.n Larry hit the first ball pitched far over th- right field screen, it scant foot outside fair territory. One strike. The next ball driven a way over left field fence. It wm fopl by less than n yard. Two strikes. Th- next bail pitched was over the piste, hot very low. The batter let. It go. The umpli> called It the third strike, nud Larry wm out. It is against such n pnlpnhle Injustice t« the batter ns this—the calling of strike* on near home runs—that the rules commit tee will lie Importuned to legislate this winter. The eminently wise’ and proper thins to do is to fix a chalk-marked territory within which fouls are strikes nnd outside «*f which they are simply fouls. Thus altered, the foul strike rule would lie antagonized no more, but would In* accepted by everyone ns wise legislation, well calculated to nr- celemte the sjKM-d of the game without dn- much for the season of 1907.” Joe Vila has piped it off that Miller Huggins will be with the Newr York Nationals next year. Cincinnati papers reply by tjie statement that it Is a! ways safe to “copper” anything Vila says, and insist that Huggins will stay in Cincinnati. “I look for very ordinary unnual meetings this winter for the major leagues, with Bun Johnson and Harry Pulliam currying pff the blue ribbons." writes Tim Murnane. “The great army of minor leagues will meet with all serene, at least on the surface. The major* and minors have no differences to settle, and with 6,000 professional ball players ready for work the player question Is settled for the first time since opposition came to the Nationul League.
