THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 0. 1906. Tech-Georgia Game Is Sporting Feature Edited By PERCY H. WHITING. FOREIGNERS FEAR FREAKS WANT MOTOR CURIOSITIES PLAC ED IN CLA8S BY THEMBELVES AT ORMOND BEACH. HERE ARE THE MEN WHO RUN GEORGIA TEAM N#w York. Xov. 9.—Unless some plan be evolved to place "freak” cars In a class by themselves In the an nual Ormond Beach races the repre sentatlves of foreign cars that enter a speed tournament will bo decidedly slim. Among the machines that, it was declared, would be withdrawn would be those of the Darracq and Fiat com panies, both of which were conspicuous in the last .Southern meet. E. Band Hollander, 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 eliminate the "freaks' and! the cars that could go the pace at .nil 'distance* would'line up for the world's championship at one mile. 00000000000000000000000000 O 0 O TWO YOUN08TER8 0 0 MAY FIGHT AGAIN. 0 0 0 0 Han Francisco, Nov. 9.—Sam O 0 Berger and AI Kaufman may meet 0 O again in the ring ut an early date. 0 O Kaufman has announced thut the 0 0 statement made by 'Hilly Delaney 0 0 tjiat he was going to school was a 0 0 mistake und that he Is open to 0 0 receive challenges. 0 0 When Jack O'Brien and Tommy 0 0 Hums meet In I«os Angeles, Kauf- 0 O man will be at the ring side and 0 0 will challenge the winner. 0 OOOiKHJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE GLOBE CLOTHING CO. | THE GLOBE CLOTHING CO. j THE GLOBE CLOTHING LOWNDE8. WHITNEY. COX. RAOUL. H. KETRON. Coach Whitney, Assistant Coach Cox, Captain Raoul and ex-Captaln Doxier 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 struggle of Haturday the credit belongs tor them, as well os to the men who play the guine. ! ORGANIZED BALL U UNDER FIRE AGAIN! The Unlit between organized und Mttil-profeulonaU ball may develop Into one of tho big aenaatlona of the game, »y« a Chicago exchange. If eeml-profeealonal ball wine on the laauea ut etake the reserve rule and tho czar-llke powere of the united ma jor leagues will get a Jolt that will •hake up the very foundation*. Buch a result would mean the players can laugh at the restrictions Imposed by the national commission and go where they please to earn extra money In their leisure hours. . A few years ago Bon Johnson and his followers assailed the reserve rule am! the slavery of bull players, coax ing scores of stars away from the Na tional League to build up their own organization. When they had the American League on a firm footing they hurriedly re turned to the reserve rule and all the old slavery conditions ns being tbc very bulwark of tho game. Now the send-professional desires again to test these conditions and to have as much fun with the leagues as Johnson unco had with the National League. [HUGH DUFFY MAY | GO TO PROVIDENCE The various shifts of managers on the checkerboard of baseball this fall will probably place Hugh Duffy at the 'helm of the Providence club of the 'Eastern League. Duff has been dis placed ut Philadelphia by Billy Murray, •and there Is no other berth open for 'film In the National. The Boston ‘Americans still lack a leader, but It Ih .not thought thut the place has been offered to Duffy. Blnce Pat Powers was re-elected president of the Eastern League he has Intimated that he would turn the con trol of tho Providence club over to u f couple of gtMtd baseball men. These tare believed to lie no others than Duffy I and Fred l)oe. It Is said that each will j manage the team while Doe will be the TECH FAR FROM BEST FOR GEORGIA BATTLE Tho last day of practice for the Tech and any man docs’ he will not toll. Georgia tennis ha* cu The final wind up «f the preparation for the 'big event la due Friday afternoon. / And at that, only light work will be done. I a mg before sunset the Georgia team will bo on Its way to Atlanta, and (be Moysrs will rent up Friday night In preparation for their greut exertloue Sat urday afternoon. The Tech team will go Into the game dis tinctly weakened. Drown la practically certain not to play and there la doubt about Luck. If Luck playa at all he goea to center. The qiicetion of who la going to do (he kicking l« one which la worrying the Tech follower*, it la likely that (he task will Ih* attempted cither by Huelianaii or McCarty. Ilotli men can boot the bull along f«r good distance*!, though neither baa the experience of Drown. It tnkea a cool* bonded man to puut and make drop kicks, and Drown hna Just the dealred amount of chtlllueaa about the thinking end of hi* anatomy to bo a great kicker. AIbo he Ima the "educated toe" about wlileh we used to hear no much. Luck will do good work nt center, of nurae; but with hta knee In Da preaent bad rendition he will hardly In' able to put up the uggrealre game which he bus ii past battle*. Hightower wua walking with a noticeable limp Tburaday afternoon, and hardly hud IiIm old apeed In practice. Ho tnken all In nil It la not Tech nt her tH»at which Georgia will tackle Haturday afternoon. As for Georgia—no man knowetb,* or if Tho buueh down there la troubled with u rush of al ienee to the face and will probably not recover uutll tho Tech game. If liny man learns the real line-up It will !»c by mistake. Also It la not likely that any one will know the real weights of the men. From every aide yon look at It. the game Haturday promises to be the liveliest thing of the seaton. Doth teams will be represented on the field with loud brass bauds, whlcn will dls- ponte tnusle, popular‘and unpopular, nud do their beat to furnlaU their share of the noise. And speaking 'of noise, there wilt bo "some,*' nil right. Tho Georgia-Tech game Ig the only one of the year when thu Tech rooters have n chance to perform In com petition. Aud they enn bo counted upon to drown out the Georgia "yellera" or spilt a lung. Some uncertainty remains about tho ofllclals for the game. George Butler, of. Augusta, will referee and Robert Patterson, the ex-Vanderb!lt center and G. M. A. coach, will be one of tho umpires. It was hoped that Henry Phillips could he secured ns Uie other umpire, but he Is not available for the game. (?oaph Helstmm Iiah submitted several names to the Georgia authori ties and hopes to get the matter atraightenod up long before tho game starts.' It Is likely that 25-mlnute halves will be played, although this matter has not been settled. FEW CHANGES IN ; LEAGUE CIRCUITS! The best feature of Imseball nt the pres ent time Im the fuct that few changes take place In tho different clrcllts, writes Tim Murnnue, even the small tniuor leagues sticking well together. I doubt If thore will be a chtfngd hi tho two big circuits for the next six years, until utter tho ten-year compact la nt n» end. Detroit la thu only major league city *IH)ken of as likely to v/ucate tho major league map, ami when It comes dowu to n show, my honest opinion Is that Detroit Is hero to stay. With a welbmnungcd team, Detroit Is all right sad tho most delight* fill city In either circuit to visit during tbo summer months. With the major league circuits holding fust there cuu bo tio en forced ehaiigo lu tbo minor leagues, at Class A can not take a city lu u lower clnsr unless forced to vacate one of their cities by tbc major leagues. For example, a city of tbc South Atlantic 1<vaguo could not be taken bj tbv Southern League un less by unnuliuout cooseut of tho snutllef league. The Eastern Magus could uot take it city from tho Now Luglund or Now York Htnto League for the same reason. Iii this way, tho small minor leagues have protected their cities from the higher classes taking their best cities nt random. There Is iiothlng like protecting the prop erty rights of leagues aud Individuals, aud while tho great army of bull players work In the opposite direction, they move under a false star aud sro only temporarily bene fited. The owner of a baseball fraucblse Is In the business to stay urn! make meuoy for years to come, while tho player Is lu the game to make tho biggest rake-off lu the quickest time, never knowing Just wheu be will have hard luck mid full to keep up a hot puce. ' I business manager. Doe Is well known In New England baseball circles. He Is u part owner {with Jesse Burkett, of the Worcester !«1ub, which had a highly profitable sea- [son this year. Jimmy Oollln* owns a {slice of the Worcester dub stock, and if he can secure his release from Boa- i ton he may follow- Burkett's example ; and shine as a star In the minors. ’ Just what would become of Jack «Dunn if.Duffy goes to Providence Is a question. If the shift is made the ex- Giant may land as manager of the Jer sey City team. BIG PLUNGER IS RULED OFF Cincinnati, O, Nov. 9. — Steve L’Hommediy, the plunging bookmaker, iwaa ruled off the American Turf Asso ciation, tracks today by the executive * committee of the new Louisville Jockey club, ut a meeting at Latonia club I house after the last race.

Tim Burst la pretty .stout these .days, but he says be will "don the spangles"-- that’s what they all call It—next season.

Dnll players who answer to these qualification* should address \V. T. Crawford,' president of the club, Shreve port, La.—Cincinnati Knqulryr. ••The llf«* of nu umpire," observes Tim llurst, "is not a bed of roses just yet. though tin* discipline enforced ou the field is more noticeable than of yon*.

Pat Dougherty and Hddle llnlin felt tbit* they were football* of fate when Grif fith turned them over to the Chicago team, last season, aud mi they were, for which they arc now extremely thankful. Kaeh pocketed more than $2,U00 outside of * season's salary by playing In the champion ship series with a team that was picked to finish away dowu lu the American League. Dougherty Is the only i the national game who hns played a two world's championship since the American Msgue was organised. Not only that, but he whs with a winner both times. These two events were worth uImum $3,5on to him. Pet thinks tbnt this is not such a bad old world, after all. New York GIoIh*.

It Is s .great pity that Mobile enn uot become n ; member‘of-the Houthern League. The writer believes Mobile would In the course of a year or two become one of the strongest supporters of the association. Baseball Interest It. that city was very pronounced all summer, sml yet Is was not near whst It would be were a South era ‘League franchise there. Baseball has been practically dead In Mo bile for several years. Duly semi-prof es slonsl teams have claimed the attention of the fnns, and naturally the Interest of inauy has dwindled to such tin extent that It will require n Houthern League team to bring hark the old-time enthusiasm. The knowledge that their city Is represented by a fast, club In n fast league would spur the sportsmen of Mobile to tho most ear nest support of the club, and in a ; or two would see baselsiil on a much sounder footing In the Gulf City than in either Montgomery, Nashville, Shreveport or Little Hock.—Will Hamilton, In The New Orleans Item.

Brooke says about the attack In football under the new rules: ••It 1ms always been n gecogulxcd nxlom that the weakest place In a team vvns Just outside of tackle. This year oittshle of tackle and around the ends are the most vulnerable points. Dy Phieing the half back* lutek aud u little outside of tackle, j the lialf-baek can support the end and tackle very quickly." Here I* Mr. Brooke’s Idea about rfhudllug the forward pass ou defense: > "When the opposing team attempts to forward puss. It Is better for the defen sive side to knock the opponents out from under It und let the bull hit the ground. The rule* say that a forward pass which hits the ground before It touduw the the players, try to pick up the leather. In former years, under tho old rules. If a hall was fumbled and u player tried to pick it up instead of mnkiug u flying dive ami lauding on the pigskin, he was given a call or swift kick by the coach.— Exchange. Tbc difference is that uuder the old wiles the )>osHcs*len of the ball was hnlf the buttle. Under the new ones it Is uot only necessary to have the ball but to advance It at every opporuulty—for ten ynrds lu three downs luis proved such a monumental task to accomplish. The latest tblug iu football is "accidental slugging.’' BUI Ueid, coach of the Blarvard team, Itjier side goes to the defend- discovered It. Iu last Saturday's game piuye ing side at the point from which the pass was made. It Is certainly better to have the ball taken back from where the pass Is made than for one of the defending to catch the ball und attempt to run It back, there when the chances of doing this are exceedingly remote.'.' tine difference I* noted on the football fields this year. When n ball is fumbled. •h yells: "Grab # lt and ruu,” and Halfback Wendell was ruled out of the gniue for u pugilistic exhibition. Held gave It out that he would Investigate, and if the charge of brutality was sustained would rule Barret! off for the remainder of the season. After the investigation Held decided that Wendell's slugging was "accidental."' The next verdlet looked for is one of ''Justifiable slugging." But there we draw the line. BASEBALL FRANCHISES WORTH MORE THAN A MINT THESE DAYS That the Increase In baseball value* ha* been something phenomenal and ha* more than kept pace with the in crease In*other value* in till* country, says mr exchange, I* proven by. state- huAtnes*. Baseball was but a side line, to act a* a feeder for the street car business. It cost something like $10,000 to fl9at the Cleveland club, which was then In ments made by President Stanley Rob- the American Association. The club l*on, of the St. Louis club, the club* now In the American League, Detroit ami Cleveland, are the ones to which particular reference was made. Mr. Robinson and hf* brother first be came Integrated In baseball at Cleve land, when they were in the street car did not prove u paying Investment, and the other stockholders dropped out un til the Robisons were left to hold the l>ag. Before they got tired of doing this latter they were In something like $75,000. Then, they concluded that Cleveland wax ripe for major league baseball, with ipln«lon; - •Detroit was on tho market, ami tb# franchise at tills latter point \ bought at a cost of $11,000, this, course. Including players’ contract! The next move was to St. Louis, and It cost them a bunch of money to get there, even with a club In bad shapt financially. Such values ns Mr. Robison mention* In connection with .the Cleveland and Detroit teams look* almost laughable today. »'levelund's franchise and pli ers could probably not be secured f**' $100,000 today, and Detroit would co*t almost us much. And this would not Include ground* or Improvements of any kind. Ba ton's National Leuguc franchise w»* but recently sold, and the price glvra out was something like $275,000.

Ho Ur as thq Boston players are concerned, with but one or two exceptions, they would not bring any kind of a price tho open market. Pay Big Prices. Probably $25,000 would be a f price to pay for the outfit, Tenney und t’y Young No. 2 being worth over half of that sum between them. The Bos ton grounds w r erc at one time worth * large sum, because tho railroads want ed them for a yard. Since then tin 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 tho property are not new' and not notably costly fcj a ball park. Possibly the grounds and stands an* worth $125,000. That leave* a clear $125,000 the rnen back of the club are paying for the privilege • ' playing. Imseball Jn Boston under Na tional League rules.
