According to the present con tract the next game is duo in Nashville. Atlanta people want to see the game at Tech Park. The Van derbilt team is something of a show these days and promises to be • even more so next season with only one man—Dun Blake—off this year’s team and with the possibility that Hob Patterson and Ed Hamilton will be back again. This game would be a certain liuaiieial success in Atlanta. The crowd which braved an awful rain-storm Nov. 17 to see the Commo dores play indicated what the attendance at a Vanderbilt game would bn in good weather. In Nashville it is dnuhtnil if a Teeh-Vanderbilt game would pay . expenses. At baseball Tech is a good drawing curd there, but not at football. It takes the Indians or Sewuneo to draw out thu enthu siasts and the enthusiasm there. JOCKEY MILLER BUYS A BUBBLE Washington, Nov. 26.—Jockey "Marvelous" MMIer bought an automo bile here today. Packy Fitzsimmons, the boy’s booking agent, did the purchasing, the order going to a Chicago house. The understanding was that the machine be delivered and put In running order for Miller at San Francisco on or before December 18. The price Is stated to have been 83,800. Miller, a week ago, had the famous "tied Flyer,” used by Young Cor bett In heyday on the coast, offered to him at a song, but the llttlp fellow Insisted on a new one. “None of the Jockeys will liuve to walk down to the ferry this year," declared Miller before the opening race, meaning that the new car would be at their dlsposul cnch night ufter the close of racing at Oakland. Miller leaves for tile coast Saturday night, where he will ride for Tom Williams through the winter. While Miller has gone In fora "bub ble." he hua not neglected to Invest some of Ills enormous winnings in a more substantial way. Just before leaving New York his nttorney took over a nice cottage home at Gravesend for Miller «t a reported price of 116,00(1. Miller’s great work on the truck on Saturday seemed an advertise ment, for the largest crowd of this season was at tile track yesterday aft ernoon. No fewer than 4,000 of the army of those who won on Miller’s mounts were there, whereas the usual Monday attendance of racegoers Is iiluiii! •• r.nn. * ■i Buck's Ranges aid Sines On 30 Days’ Free Trial, Our FREE TRIAL OFFER is making a big hit.

It is not at nil certain that Vanderbilt would consent to change the loeation ot the frame from Nashville to Atlanta. If the Commo dores lake trips to both Ann Arbor and Chicago—as now seems likely—it would be impossible for them to make such a change, for the two northern trips would exhaust all tile uvailtiblc time of the Vanderbilt team. However, it 's worth’riskinir. It would be financially desirable for , both teams and besides Atlanta wants to see the frame. The writer’s attention lias been called to (lie fact that especial mention of Owsley ,Mtinier’s pliiyintf was left out of the write-up of the VainlyInjuns" tritiue. This was most distinctly due to an oversight. No man on the team—save Hob, Hlake, who scored the only points—was more de serving of credit. These two players are undoubtedly the best on the Vanderbilt team and if ever u Southern college lias turned out ’All-American material these two men are the said material. They will both appear in every nll-S. I. A. A. team of the year. Of course it is lutrd to expect good sportsmanlike conduct from a baud of red Indians, but the Carlisle howl that the team was not in condition when it tackled Vanderbilt is sickening, even considering ; the source. Just how the Indians showed their alleged “poor form" is hard to tell. They started faster, bucked and ran harder, tackled more , viciously and more certainly tlmn any team which-ever, played, in Nashville. ’ They were 'just smothered by superior plnyiug strength, and that’s how they happened to lose. • ’ i. • they happen After the game was over it is likely that they did not feel their ’beat. ..They.had been outplnycd and it hurt. - , But'it is bum opera to put up that variety of a post-mortem howl.

DONALD FRASER WON A GREAT BATTLE FROM COLLEGE PARK- BOYS. Thu prep game nt Piedmont I’urk Monduy afternoon between O. M. A. und Donald Fraaer resulted In a dear victory for Donald Frazer. Thu score was 6 lo 0. At no time In the game wan the outcome In doubt, for Donald Fraser’s oulck end runs and excellent tackling showed early how the game was going. Tho hall was In ll. M. A.’s territory almost the entire time. 1 When tho game was called Donald Fraser had the ball within two yards of (1. M. A.’s goal line, and six seconds more would perhaps have meant an other touchdown for Donald Fraaer. The Intense rivalry between the two schools for the past six or eight years rendered the contest all the more In teresting. If rooting could have won tho game for O. M. A. they would have had It, for the cadet boys made the welkin ring. However. Donald Fra ser’s supporters were equally zealous, und their enthusiasm stirred the teum to do somo line work. Courlrlght and Cox simply outplayed the Q. M. A. ends, Cox’s tackling und Jenkins’ fpst. running, being the fea tures of the game. 00000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 0 a 0 WRESTLER CHALLENGES.

Smith was ulno n club maker, and theu ofter mastering his trade, nnd after becoming au accomplished golfer, he left Scotland for this country in 1898, and has remained here ever since. Ills first engagement ns n professional was with the recently defunct Washington Park Club of Chicago, he uud Fred Herd sharing the duties of professional*. A very curious coincidence wa* the position In which he nnd Herd finished In the open championship of 1898 nt the Myopia Hunt Club, the first American cttnniplonidilp in which Smith took part. Hen! finished first with 328, nnd Smith was second with 335. Myopia was then n nine-hole course of 2,960 His great rival.
