,, EGGHEAD’S EPICS
t BRUTAL SPORTS
MANY FOLLOWERS of sports, or
rather opponents of them, are in
clined to point out the brutality of
various forms of competitive ath
letics. The main delight seems to
be taking a crack at boxing on the
slightest provocation, and then turn
around to give the grand old game
of football a. stab in the back every
time some player fizzles a flying
tackle and is knocked for a row of
cuckoo clocks.
IN A LONG STORY by Robert;
Edgren, a number of boxers are
interviewed, in which they testify
that they never felt the blow that
knocked them out. It is true that
he kayo wallops stun them, but does
not produce pain or torture, as the
innocent bystander thinks.
IN FOOTBALL the player,
all his mental and physical resources
concentrated upon the game he is
playing, does not feel the jars and
joits of the severe impacts. His
mind is not advised of the fact that
something hurt him. There is real
ly no pain connected with the fall
or collision.
BUT AFTER WITNESSING the
Rentrop-Sarles wrestling bout at the
Atlanta Auditorium one night last
week, the untutored mind of the
writer is inclined to believe that
wrestling (a about the most brutal
and painful of any sport—and it
appears to be one of the smoothest.
Maybe the knockout * blow the
or
football collision odesn’t hurt, but

REST FOR STRIBL1NG
THOSE WHO have been won’t to
rise m indignation . . . , because Young
Stribling, the boxing sensation, was
being overworked, will have to
change their tunes now that “Pa
Stribling has enrolled his boy at!
the University School for Boys to
complete his education and rest up j
awhile, which will do the boy good in
more ways than one. It is evident
that he will be able to purchase
bread and meat for several days
to , having . purchased . . new
come, a
Chrysler touring car the other day
in addition to a bunch of real estate.
STRIBLING, his father and other
similar characters are frequent vis
itors at the sporting departments of
the Atlanta newspapers. The first
time the father and son came in
together, the former said, “There’s
the man you fbught at Griffin last
winter.” And now the sports editor
up here is speaking of a duplica
tion of the Egghead-Stribling bout.
Whew!
EGGHEAD’S NAME is supposed
to be on the mailing list of the
News and Sun, but the paper gets
mixed up with those going to the
exchange desk. Consequently, yours
truly only gets his paws on the
well known welcomed visitor from

back to the starting point, you
going to feel it with an awful
WORLD SERIES
THE EYES of the sporting world i
are right now divided between the
world series and football. Four
thirds of the people in the country
are pulling their hearts and souls
out for the Senators to cop the tro
phy, and many a sigh was heaved
when Walter Johnson failed to win
his game Saturday. The “Big
Smoke” and Stanley Harris and
the entire Washington team is im
mensely popular in the realm of
sports. The O’Connell scandal also
a tendency to make the public
lean towards the Senators, together
the fact that New York has
the thing sewed up long enough,
BUT ALL this and the demonstra
tions in favor of the Senators is
making the Giants feel like the un
der dog, fighting with backs to the
wall. And that’s what is making
this a whale of a series,
FOOTBALL
THE GRIDIRON menu for the
coming week-end, with reference to
the two leading teams of the state,
is no slouch. The Florida Alliga
tors and a large majority of the
population of the state of Florida,
according to indications, are coming
to Atlanta Saturday for the implied
purpose of licking Georgia Tech on
Grant Field, a feat that is seldom
accomplished. But the ’Gators are
coming strong and will bear a lot
GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS
S. Navy’s First All-Metal Aairplane,
F-4-C, Is Convertible for Use at Sea
Washington, Oct. 8.—The navy’s
all-metal airplane has been 1
and has undergone its
trials at Garden City,
L. I.
It was designed by Charles Ward
Hall and constructed by the Curtiss
Aeroplane and Motor Companyi un _
der the direct j on and wJth the
colIaboration of aircraft experts of
the Bureau of Aeronautic8 .
Known as the F-4-C, the new plane
is convertible for U5e either as a
seaplane or land plane. It is a

This metal combines the lightness of
aluminum with the strength of steel.
ii The principal advantage of using
duralumin in the place of the con
ventional wood and wire,” says the
Navy Department’s announcement,
<< is that a very noticeable saving of
weight is obtained. 4 This saving
gives the plane a much improved
performance, including greater air
speed, faster climbing and lower
landing speed.
The new plane is now at the Naval
Air Station, Anacostia, D. C., where
it is receiving service trials of vari
ous kinds to determine the suitability
