itlK ATLANTA GEORGIAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1906. Tech-Georgia Game Is Sporting Feature Edited By PERCY H. WHITING. FOREIGNERS FEAR FREAKS WANT MOTOR CURI08ITIES PLAC ED IN CLASS BY THEMSELVES AT ORMOND BEACH. HERE ARE THE MEN WHO RUN GEORGIA TEAM New York. Nov. 9.—Unless some plan be evolved to place “freak” cars in a class by themselves In the an nua! Ormond Beach races the repre nentafives of foreign cars that enter a speed tournament will be decidedly slim. Among the machines that, It was declared, would be withdrawn would be those of the Darracq and Flat com panies, both of which were conspicuous In the last Southern meet* E. Rand Hollender, a Flat represen tative, has suggested a plan for the elimination of “freaks." He asks that the long-distance races be placed first in the week's program with the sprints reserved for the closing days. Ma chines in order to qualify for the cham pionship dashes at one, two and five miles, fifty kilometers and thirty miles, must make a mark, say, fifty miles an hour. This would eltmtnate the “freaks” and the cars that could go the pace at sail distances would line up for the world’s championship at one mile. 00000000000000000000000000 0 o O TWO YOUNG8TERS 0 O MAY FIGHT AGAIN. 0 O 0 0 San Francisco, Nov. 9.—Sam 0 0 Berger and AI Kaufman may meet 0 0 again in the ring at an early date. 0 O Kaufman has announced that the 0 0 statement made by Billy Delaney 0 0 that ho was going to school was a 0 0 mistake and thut he Is op^n to 0 O receive challenges. 0 0 When Jack O’Brien and Tommy 0 0 Ruths meet In Los Angeles, Kauf- 0 0 man will he at the ring side und 0 0 win challenge the winner. 0 0 0 00000000000000000000000000 LOWNDES. WHITNEY. COX. RAOUL. H. KETRON. Coach Whitney, Assistant Coach Cox, Captain Raoul and ex-Captaln Dozier Lowndes—these are the men who have the destinies of the Georgia team in their hands. Largely through their efforts the Georgia team has reached Its present high state of perfection and If the Athens players defeat Tech In the big strugglo of Haturday tho credit belongs to them, us well us to the men who play the game. j ORGANIZED BALL I j UNDER FIRE AGAIN! The light between organhsed # **and teini-professional ball inay develop Into one of the big Hensutlons of the game, says a Chicago exchange. If semi-professional ball wins on tho issues ut stake the reserve rule and the czar-like powers of the united ma jor leagues will get a Jolt that will shake up tho very foundations. Such a result would mean the players can laugh at tho restrictions Imposed by tit* national commission and go whore they please to earn extra money f:» their leisure hours. A few years ago Ban Johnson and his followers assailed tho reserve rule and Iho slavery of ball players, coax ing scores of stars away from the Na tional League to build up their own organ I zut ion. When they hud the American league on a firm footing thoy hurriedly re turned to flic? reserve rule and all the old slavery conditions us being the very bulwark of the game. Now tho semi-professional desires again to test these conditions und to have as much fun with tho leagues us Johnson once had with the National {HUGH DUFFY MAY j GO TO PROVIDENCE •••••••••••••I The various shifts of managers on the checkerboard of baseball this fall will probably place Hugh Duffy ut the helm of tho Providence club of the ‘ Eastern League. Duff has been dis placed at Philadelphia by Billy Murray, «uid there is no other berth open for ' him In the National. The Boston Americana still lack a leader, hut It is .not thought that the placo has been ’offered to Duffy. Since Pat Powers was re-elected president of the Eastern League he bus (intimated that he would turn the con trol of the Providence club over to n icouph* of good baseball men. These fare believed to be no others than Duffy land Fred Doe. It is said that each will imanuge the team while Doe will be the ‘business manager. Doe Is well known In New England baseball circles. He Is u part owner {with Jesse Burkett, of the Worcester {club, which had a highly profitable sea- iaon this year. Jimmy Collins owns a slice of the Worcester club stock, and 'if he can secure his release from Bos- iton he may follow Burkett's example I and shine as a star In the minors. Just what would become of Jack :J>unn if Duffy goes to Providence la u ;question. If the shift is made the ex- Giant may land us manager of the Jer sey City team. TECH FAR FROM BEST FOR GEORGIA BATTLE The Inst day of practice for the Tech and nny man does he wlll^not tell. The bmidi Georgia teams has come. The final wind np of the preparation for the big event Is due Friday afternoon. And at that, only light work wilt bo done, liong before suuset the Georgia team will be on l(ji way to Atlanta, nnd tho players will rest up Friday night iu preparation for their grout exertion* Kat un In y afternoon. The Tech tram will go Into the game dis tinctly weakened. Ilrown Is practically certain not to play and there Is doubt about Luck. If Luck plays at nil he goes to center. The question of who Is going to do the kicking is ono which is warrylqg the Tech followers. It Is likely that the task will Ih* attempted either by Itarhannn or McCarty. Both men can l»oot the ball along for good distances, though neither lutu the experience of Brown. It takes n cool- headed man to punt nnd make drop kicks, and Brown ha* Just the desired amount of chilliness about the thinking cud of his anatomy to be a great kicker. Also he tins the. ••educated toe” about which we used to hear so much. buck wilt do good work nt center, of curse; but with his knee In Its present bad condition he will hardly Ik* aide to put up the aggreslve gnmo which he has lu oast battles. Hightower was walking with a noticeable limp Thursday ufteruoou, und hardly hud his old speed In prnetlce. So taken all in all It Is not Tech nt her best which Georgia wilt tackle Haturdny afternoon. As for Georgia—no man kuoweth, or If down there Is troubled with a rush of si lence to the face and will probably not recover until the Tech game. If any man learns the real line-up it will be by mistake. Also It In not likely that nny one will know the real weights of the men. From every side yon look at It. the gumo Hstnrday promises to be the liveliest thing of the season. Both teams will be represented on the field with loud brass bauds, which will dis pense music, popular and unpopular, und do their best to furnish their share of the noise. And speaking of noise, there .will bo “some.” njl right. The Georgia-Tech game is the only ono # of the year when the Tech rooters have a chance to perform In com petition. And they can bo counted upon to drown out the Georgia “yellers” or split u lung. Home uncertainty remains about tho officials for the game. George Butler, of Augusta, will referee und Robert Patterson, the ex-Vanderbilt center and G. M. A. coach, will he one of the umpires. It was liopcgl that Henry Phillips could be secured as the other umpire, but he Is not available for the game. Coach Helsman has submitted several names to, the Georgia authori ties anil hopes to get the matter straightened up long before the game starts. It is likely that 25-mlnute halves will be played, ulthough this matter has not been settled. KIIMHMMMMMHHHHtMIMMMHHtHIMtHHI j FEW CHANGES IN j LEAGUE CIRCUITS MMtMMMHHHHIIMHIHMHIMHIillHHHMH The lw*st feature of baseball nt the pres ent time Ih the fact that; few changes take place lu the different elrcllts. writes Tim Mnrnnne, even the small minor leagues sticking well together. I doubt If there will be a change lu the two big circuits for tho next six years, or until after the teu-yesr compact Is nt an end. Uclrolt Is the ouly major league city spoken of as likely to vacate the major league map, and when It conies down to show, my hondst opinion Ih thut Detroit Is hero to stay. With u well-managed team, Detroit Ih all right and tho most delight fuJ city lu either circuit to visit during the Hummer mouths. With tho major league circuits holding fnst there can be uo forced chnugc lu the uiiuor leagues, as Class A can not tuko a city lu u lower class unless forced to vacate ouc of their cities by the major leagues. Fer example, a city of the South Atlautlc Longue could not I* taken by tbs Southern League un less by unnulmout consent of the snuillef leuguc. Tho Eastern League cAnhl not take a city from the Now Fuglund or New York State league for the same reason, lu thlPway, the small minor leagues have protected their cities from the higher clfissert taking their best cities ut random. There Is nothing like protecting the prop erty rights of leagues nud individuals, and while the great army of ball players work In the opposite direction, they move under false star and are only temporarily bene- filed. The owner of a baseball franchise Is In the business to stay and make mousy for years to come, while tho player Is lu tho game to tnuke the biggest rake-off iu the quickest time, never knowing just when be will have hard luck nnd fail to keep up hot pace.

The big • bookmaker’ll offense waa the violation • of rule 18 of the racing code of A. T. A, which refers to tampering with lioraes and Jockeys. Judge Charles F. Price said: *‘We gave Mr. L'Hommedlu every chance to disprove the charge against him. We tossed out Mr. Jdunn’s evi dence, but the testimony given by Fischer could not be Impugned.” NAT KAISER & CO.

Now that we had congratulated ourselves on being well rid of them, this Is, Indeed, a “sadness.” It Is reported that the team will work baek from California by the Koutherii route, ploying lu New Orleans nnd other prominent cities on the way home. As Atlanta Is one of the said cities, the team may piny here. Hard luck. However, If the Giants do not stay long, all will 1m* forgiven. Tim linrst Is pretty stout these days, but he says he will ”dou the spangle*”-— that's whnt they all call It—next season. The Shreveport dub, of the Southern league, wants a second and third base man, one or two fast and hard-hitting out fielders, and could ttossildy use a g«*od yottng pitcher. Ball players who answer to these qualification* should address IV. Crawford, president of the club, Shreve port, La,—Clnclmmtl Knqulrer. “The life of au umpire,” observes Tim Hurst, “Is not a bed of roses Just yet, though the discipline enforced on the field Is more noticeable than of yore. Conse quently, there Is no dearth of applicants for Jobs. When umpiring get* to Ik* too much of a ladylike culling, I want to lay aside the indicator.” * Fat Dougherty and labile I John felt that they were footballs of fate when Grif fith turned them over to the t’lhago t last season, and so they were, for which they ore now extremely thankful. Each pocketed more than $?.&» outside of a season's salary by playing lu the elmuipiou- shfp series with a team that was picked to finish away down In the American League. Dougherty is the only man In the national game who has played a two world's championship sltiee the American laMgile was organized. Not only that, hut he was with a winner l*otb times. These two events w» re worth about 13,600 to him. I*nt thinks that this b not such a bod old world, after alt.—New York Globe.

"The Boston American League club Is said to he hot nfter 'Juke* Stahl, mana ger of the Washington team the past two years. Jake Is wanted In Boston to piny first base. Connie Mack Is Just as anxious to get ‘Jimmy* Collins, ex-muunger of Bos-, ton, to hold down third Imiw. Detroit will doubtless bid against Boston for ,t first hnsciusn, and 8t.

The writer believes Mobile would lu the course of a year or two become one of tho strongest supporters of the association. Baseball interest ir, that city was very pronounced all summer, and yet la was not uenr what It would be were a South ern League franchise there. BusebaU has been practically dead lu Mo bile for several years. Only semi-profes sional teams have claimed the otteutiou of the fans, oud naturally the Interest of many has dwindled to such au extent that It will require a Southern League team to hriug hack tho ohl-tltne enthusiasm. The knowledge that Ihetr city Is represented by a fast dob In a fnst league would spur the sportsmen of Mobile to the most nest support of the club, nnd tu a year or two would see baseball on a much sounder footing iu the Gulf City thnu In cither Montgomery, Nashville, Shreveport l.tttle Rock.—Will Hamilton, In The New Orleans Item.

Joe Vila pipes It off that Pulliam will be elected president of the National League by a vote of 6 to 2. Guess that's about right. There seems to have been some fear that the Southern League clubs had placed the "no trespassing” sign in front of their parks as far as all Na tional League Clubs were concerned. Now Chicago Cubs announce wl great glee that Memphis. Nashville and Birmingham have offered them dates for games In the spring. Atnnug the contracts announced in the present bulletin of Secretary Far rell. of the National Association, are: With Little Rock, Brazell and Ban dy; with Augusta, E. C. Connelly and M. Comtnger.

FOOTBALL DOPE IN BROKEN DOSES Here’s what George IL Bfouke says affltyrt |lio players try to pick up the leather, attack In football under the new rules; lu former years, undkr the old rules, If * * — 1 * n ball was fumbled nnd a player tried to pick It up Instcnd of making a flying dive nnd landing on the plgsklu, be was given a call or swift kick by the coach.— Exchange. •*lt has nlwnys beeu a recognized axiom that the weakest place In n team was Just outside of tackle. This year outside of tackle and orfund the ends are the most vulnerable points. By placing the half- backs back und u little outside of tackle, the half-baek enu support the end and tackle very quickly." . Hero is Mr. Brooke's Idea about handling the forward pass ou defense: “When the opposing Jeaiu attempts to forward pass. It Is better for the defen sive side <n knock the opponents out from under It and let the ball hit the groiiud. The rules say that a forward pass which tilts the ground before It touches The difference Is that under the old rules the imssesstou of the bail was half the battle. Under the new ones It I* uot only ueecKsary to have the ball but to advance it at every opponraity—for tvu ynrd* In three downs has proved such a monumental task to accomplish, The latest thing In football is “accidental slugging.” Bill Held, coach of the Harvard player of either side goes to the defend- i discovered It. In lust Saturday's game lug side at the point from which the pass was made. It Is certainly better to have the bull taken back from where the pass Is made thnu for one «»f the defending side to rateh the ball and attempt to run It buck there when the chances of doing this are exceedingly remote.” One difference Is noted on the football fields this year. When a ball Is fumbled, the coach yells: ••Grab It and run,*' and Halfback Wendell was ruled out of the game for a pugilistic exhibition. Held gave It out that he would Investigate, and If the ctinrge of brutality was sustslned would rule Barrett off for the remainder of the season. After the Investigation Held decided that WcudcU’s slugging was "accidental.’ The next verdict looked for Is one of "Justffii^le slugging.” Bat there we draw the line. BASEBALL FRANCHISES WORTH MORE THAN A MINT THESE DAYS buseball. with fnlMion. Detroit was on the market, and thi franchise at this latter point w/w bought at a cost of $11,000. this, of course, including players’ contract*. The next move was to St. froul*. and It cost them a hunch of money to get there, oven with a club lii bad shape financially. Stfch values oh Mr. Robison mention* In connection with the Cleveland and Detroit teuton look almost laughable today. Cleveland’s franchise and plov ers could probably not be secured for $100,000 today, and Detroit would cost almost as much. And this would not Include grounds or Improvements of any kind. Bos ton’s National Leugue franchise Wtw but recently sold, and the price giv*n out was something like $275,000. This, of course, Includes the Boston National league grounds and fixtures. Ho far as the Boston players are concerned, with but one or two exceptions, they would not bring any kind of a price on tho open market. * Pay Big Prices. Probably $25,000 would be a fair price to pay for the outfit, Tenney and Cy Young No. 2 being worth over half of that sum between them. The Bos ton grounds were at one time worth a large sum, because the railroads want ed them for a yard. Hlnce then th*- railroads have found other property and are not In ,the market for the grounds at any advance over their market value. The latter are situated In a * manufacturing district, and the property Is not high-priced. The improvements on the property are not new and not notably costly for a ball park. Possibly the grounds unJ stands ate worth $125,000. .That leaves a dear $125,000 the men back of the dub;are paying for the privilege of playing baseball In Boston under Na tional League rules. As to running a club on a $l0.ow capital at present, that would virtually be impossible. Cleveland at the time Mr. Roblsorf had the club there In the American Association, was paying a* good salaries as any team In the leagu**. Yet the salary list for an entire sea—*' did not run above $15,000. Twice that sum might cover the salary list of an American Association club at present, and It Is probable ithat some of the clubs go considerable higher. In comparison with the price of the Cleveland franchise In the American Association, there Is the sale of the Minneapolis franchise in that leagu**. but a few days ago. How much Can- tllllon paid for the latter dub Is n't known, but the man* who bought the club something like two months pocketed a dean $10,000,as his profits so the price must have been worm while. ,, , That the Increase in baseball values has been something phenomenal and lias more than kept pace with the In crease In other values in this country, says an exchange, Is proven by state- business. Baseball was but a side line, to act as a feeder for the street car business. , It cost something like $10,000 to float the Cleveland club, which was then In ments made by President Stanley Rob- the American Association.
