So poor oUl Ttiliuie him drawn out of the S. F. A. A.
After a football season, in which not a point wuh scored against
any team, the New Orleans college, by a unanimous vote, decided
that decent amateur athletics do not pay.
Well, probably the S. I. A. A. will come on near standing the
blow.as Tulane will.
A membership in the S. I. A. A. means that the college holding
it is playing baseball and football without using professionals, tramp
athletes, without giving “athletie scholarships.” wjthout allowing
■'summer hall players” to take part in the games—in general stick
a membership stands for athletic decency.
It is to he regretted that Tulane finds that decency does not
pay—even athletic decency.
The admirers of pure sport will watch with interest the athletic
doings of Tulane, now that she has thrown off the “yoke” of the
S. f. A. A.
Here's wishing Billy Smith luck in his hunt for players. Billy
is working to the limit to get good men, the association is backing
him liberally and his efforts deserve success.
Atlanta wants a pennant winner in 1!)07, and on Smith’s luck
in getting players to fill the two existing gaps will depend the

SULLIVAN'S BELT LOST, BUT
FAKIRS EXHIBIT BOGUS ONE
The gullibility of the American pub
lic was never more forcibly llluHtrnted.
says the N«w York Globe, than In the
case of the championship belt present
ed to John L. Sullivan In 1887 by some
enthusiastic friends tin Boston. This
licit has had n tempestuous experi
ence in numerous pawnshops through
out the country and lias been on exhl
toltlon in various saloons, but It has
never enjoyed the* vogue of u counter
feit belt that is an exact reproduction
of the genuine, except that the jewels
are rhinestones amt the other materials
of tuferlor value.
This counterfeit presentment has
been carted ubout the country for yt
punt, and lias earned from $7.*> to flftti
«i week for the athesner* who con-
cdFved tile plan of a duplicate. So prof
itable has been the deception that the
echamer* aie now making a vigorous
effort fo locate the genuine belt In or

who started the movement for the orig

utors to the fund for its pure bane, was
deceived by the counterfeit. The spurt-

exposition and Hheedy went into ecsta

ly. ‘There’s the belt that we gave to
the greatest tighter*that ever stepped
Into tho ring.”
Then everybody looked admiringly
ut the belt.
The genuine bolt was presented to
Hullivan at tho Boston theater August
8, 1887. among the donors being Henry
B. Dixie, the actor; M. C. Clark, a
liquor dealer; Nat Goodwin, the actor;
Pat Hheedy, Fogarty, a Boston barber
of sporting proclivltltes, and many
others.
The announced value of the belt was
810,000, and It was a beautiful pleco
of the Jeweler’s art, being construct
ed of gold panels, In one of which
was a jKirtruU of HulUvuti, other panels
containing portraits of men he had
beaten. It was heavily studded
diamonds and cost, including the work
manship, $4,600. It was later appraised
by Tiffany as of the Intrinsic value ot
U.r.oo.
Hullivan did not long have posses
slon of the belt. Ho got a loan of
S-.ooo from Charley Johnston,
Ills barkers, and pledged the emblem us
security. Fogarty, the Boston barber,
who was a great admirer of Hullivan,
redeemed the belt, paying Johnston Ills

Home time later Hullivan formed
alliance with the proprietors of
ufo at Broadway and Twenty-eighth
street, known us Dante’s Inferno, and

and the tighter withdrew, the cate Mien

whom he can depend, he will rest from
his labors and call It a go. For his
1907 team la signed—except for two
men.
And Hmlth Is wasting no time in
getting the much-needed tnfleldcr and
outfielder. He landed In New York
City today, urnied with unlimited credit
and a desire for men. He will sit up
with the Nationul League moguls dur
ing their session In New York and
hopes to lie able to buy two men, smug
gle them out of tho major league fold
by means of waivers and get away with
them. If lie does he will have a team
which will make any of them think.
Here Is tho layout:
t’a tellers—

year.
Sweeney, drafted from Colum
bia In the Hoiitli Allar.dc
League.
O’Leary, secured from Wichita,
of tho Western Association.
Pitchers—
Zeller, Hparks, Childs and Hur
ley of last year’s pitching
staff.
Ford, drafted from Cedar Rap-
Ids. champion team of the
Three-1 League.
Spade, star pitcher with Macon
in the South Atlantic League,
secured by draft.
Hcliopp, drafted from Ottumwa,
of the Iowa State League.
Raymond, who pitched for Sa
vannah, champion team of
the South Atlantic league.
First Base— v
Fox.
Second Base—
Otto Jordan.
Third Bose—
Larry Hoffman.
Shortstop—
Morae, with Athmtu last year.
Ball, drafted from Cedar Rap
ids.
Outfielders—
Wallace and Winters, with the
team last year.
Paskert, drafted from the
Dayton, Ohio, team of the
Central League.
Wallace and Harley will hardly he
brought back In the spring. Both are
good men, but Billy Smith figures that
they can be traded to good advantage.
What Raymond's fate will be is bard
to determine. Tills man pitched bril
liant ball In Savannah. But when Billy
Smith shipped htnv Inst spring lie sw ora
he would pitch himself before ho would
allow the "Bug" on any aggregation ha
managed. Raymond Is of Southern
Lengue caliber all right, but Is so er
ratic and hard to manage that no club
wants him.
Childs' fate is also In the balance
Most of last season Childs spent on the
bench, under suspension for lack of
condition. Whether or net ht will get
In condition for next spring remains to
bo seen. When In shape he Is one of
the shiftiest pitchers In the league.
Dickie Crozter may be back with the
team, though he has been released at
Ills own request. If Dick plays ball it
will almost certainly be with the At
lanta team.
Thus far Manager Smith has sixteen
men on his list and every place with
the exception of one outtleld position
and third base Is accounted for.
Of course Hoffman may come down
and make good at third base. He
played brilliant ball after bo was re
called from the South Atlantic League
last year, and if hts hitting gets up to
par he will no doubt deliver the goods.
Paskert, the Dayton outfielder, is
looked upon at a certainty In center
field. His record In the past indi
cates that he can hold down a South
ern League Job all right.
Ball, of Cedar Rapids, will make
"Whltey” Morse hustle some for his
Job. Ball Is reported to be a wonder
and only the other day Smith had a
very flattering offer for him from
Portland, Oreg.
Taken altogether, it looks ns though
Atlanta would have something of a ball
club next year. If ho can fill the two
gups that yawned so often Inst season
—third base and center field—he will
have a team which will make any of
them hustle.
EDWARD 8WEENEY
This man was the best catchsr in
the South Atlantic last year and Man
ager Smith bslisvts that he will be
be rung In as some other horse of far
less ability, and win at a long price,
with the unscrupulous conspirators
having large wads of money bet on the
track where the trick comes 6ff and all
over the up-country poolroom circuit.
Harding Is a 4-year-old bay gelding,
and should be easy of Identification be
cause of the }>ccu!lar markings on hla
front feet—that Is. If the horse has not
been "chemicalized.'’
Several "rapt liras” have been an
nounced, hut the horse Is surely still
under cover somewhere out In the turf
world. ITe was*not ut Baltimore, Md.,
or Los Angeles, CaL, as reported.
Harding formerly belonged to the
stable of Rome Ilespess and was one
? of his most useful horses. He won
race after race at Latonla, and then
found his way to Louisville. Being un
sound In one of his fore pins, Respess
sold him to “Doc” Riddle. Harding
won for Riddle und was then sold at
auction. Harding had finished some
what dickey-legged, and when a mys
terious “Mr. Claire” offered Judge
Price $3,000 Harding became his prop
erty. He didn’t have a halter, being
obliged to use a rope halter which he
! had secured from a nearby grocery
store to lead the horse away,
j Now comes the plunge Into ob-
i 11 vion;
After "Mr. Claire" had closed tho
; gate of the track tho real Harding van
ished. The only thing known or "Mr.
1 tiaire”—and a very significant circum-
t stance, too—Is that he associated with
Ed. Farley, who Is ruled off the turf
today because of complicity In alleged
•ringings.”
The plan would be to have another
horse In the plot with Harding. This
second horse would be rung In as
Harding and raced. Being of no ac
count he would be unplaced and ridi
culously beaten. No attention would
be paid him. Then, soon after, Hard
ing would be again entered, but this
time the real good Harding would go
to the post, and the counterfeit, hav
ing served his usefulness, would be
spirited away. Of course, Harding
in the Southern league.
Cal., has adopted the same tactics,
while the authorities at Bennlng were
In a mental stew for ten days before
the closedown of the Washington
plant.
Certain it Is, this equine "Charlie”
Ross is goln.? to play on interesting
part In the winter racing campaign.
Tho well known ’ horse, Harding,
holder of tho mile record, over the La
tonla track, and an animal worth
$3*,000, has disappeared ns completely
and os mysteriously ns did the cele
brated "Charlie” Ross.
The turf authorities all over the
country believe this horse Hafdlng may
would run his race and win by a block,
with a long prlco against his chances,
tho framers meantime having bets
down In the betting ring and in every
poolroom In the country.
Last Monday at Bennlng, the horse
Avaunteer, who had once run under
the name of Callaghan, was thought to
be Harding. The suspicion was un
founded, after occasioning a veritable
panic. Before that the name <»f
“Harding” had been seen among the
entries at Houston. Texas, where $160
purses arc In order. Tho bookmakers
abided by the racing form of the horse
and posted 2-6. The horse finished ten
lengths out of the money.
"When will they spring the right
Harding?” asked one layer of another
after the race, for the horse which ran
under tho name of Harding was not
Harding. Frightened by the talk, the
the Texas field. Where is Harding'.’
Where will tho framers-up strike
next? There Is the rub.

REVIEW OF FOOTBALL SEASON AT UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
Special to Tin* Georgian.
1’nlverslty rtf Georgia, Dec. K.—On
Wednesday, when It became known
that Coach George Whitney Imd signed
a contract to return to coach Geor
gia’s football team in 1967, there was
gtWt joy throughout the college.
Coach Whitney has not only proved
a splendid roach, hut Is very popular
with the student body and town i
pie.
The work of the Georgia football
team this season has been little short
of marvelous, considering that her ma
terial was new, her coach came her
unacquainted with local conditions, and
two preceding seasons of great disas
ter had completely depleted the ex
chequer.
Coach Whitney deserves great credit
for the team he bu$t, and although
It was beaten three times, It was never
rerwhelmed.
One thing that undoubtedly prevent
ed the team from making an even
better showing was the way in which
tho. schedule was arranged. Instead
belt, and they contracted with a Nas
sau street Jeweler to do the work of
duplication for $$50. Tho original Idea
of the plotters was to exhibit the gen-
ulncy belt, but they were unable to fur
nish tho amount of money required to
take iho emblem out of pawn, and so
they hit on the scheme of a counterfeit.
The Jeweler managed to set* the belt,
and by some means secured a wax im
pression of It. Then, with rhinestones,
md silver, and other cheat*er material,
produced a copy of the belt that
i so exact as to deceive tin* sub
scribe r*.
The counteifolt was probably worth
$800 or $l,orto, and as s»>on as It was
nt out on the road It became a great
drawing card. It has been nil over
America and Is at the present time do
ing a land office burin?sh on the New
England circuit.
The whereabouts of the genuine belt
Is now u question that puzzles the ex-
perm.
After holding the belt the legal
length of time Simpson, under the law,
sold it ut the Bowery uuctlon rooms
, for $.1,100, the purchaser being Jerry
• IVnioghue, a wealthy saloon keeper of
j Philadelphia. Donoghue kept the belt
[ on exhibition In hi* saloon In the Qua-
‘ ker CUy. but Anally sold it to a New
• York man named Rosenthal. What
; Rosenthal did with it is not known, but
i it I* said to bo resting quietly In a
! < ’hicago pawnshop, where It was pledg
ed for $2,900.
Sullivan long ago lo*t all claim on
; the belt, hut In loans he doubtless got
' G\e value of the trophy before It was
finally taken away from him
the
of lending off with light teams,
heavy fellows were taken on first.
At the very outset Georgia lined up
against the heavier and much more
experienced Davidson team. As a fore
gone conclusion, they lost 16 0. They
held Davidson to two touchdowns, how
ever.
The next battle occurred In the ene
my's country. They held the heavy
tiemson Tigers, the same toam which
piled up eleven points to Tech’s noth
ing on Thanksgiving day, to no Hcore
until the hist two minutes of play.
After a two weeks' rest, caused by
North Carolina A. & M.’s non-appear
ance. they miniliilatod .Mercer In .Ma
con by the top heavy score of &!> to 0.
The next game was played In Atlanta
against Tech, and Georgia for the third
time In football history lost to Tech
17 to o. All three scores were the
vesult of Brown’s kicking and \Ue fail
ure of Georgia's back field to receive
those kicks.
Next the mountain lads from Dah-
lonega came and wore snowed under
63 to 2.
In the Tennessee game the ball was
In Tennessee's territory during neuiiy
tile whole game, and tile Tennessee
goal line was crossed twice, but no
score resulted.
in the last game of the season, the
Thunksglving performance In Macon
against Auburn, Georgiu covered her
self with glory. With nil dope against
her und no paper conceding her any
thing like an even chance, she won out
by superior work.
The team this year was rather light,
comparatively fast and very aggressive.
Tho line was particularly strong. It
played magnificently, charged hard and
presented a defense that fow teams
succeeded In i»enetruting for any con
siderable gains. Howard Kctron was
strong In this department and broke
up many a play aimed at him before
It «rot well under way. DeLaperrlero
was a great linesman and Graves did
great kicking the whole season. Hodg
son's ability to catch punts and his
brilliancy In runnlns them back made
him iv valuable asset to the team. Kyle
Hmlth proved a consistent ground gain
er, scoring eight touchdowns during
the season. Harmon d^d great work
at guard and gives promise of devcl
oping Into an All-Southern man be
fore lie leuves college. Raoul made a
good captain and proved an excellent
leader.
