TECH-MERGER GAME
Gridiron Scrap Way Be Played In Ma

Season’s Scores of the
- Leading Teams.
It Is more than likely that Mercer
Trill play Tech on the gridiron ID this
city on Wednesday, November IS
The game was originally scheduled
to be played In Atlanta on the 21st.
Then Georgia proposed a game with
Tech, after a resumption of good feel
ing between ,the two schools, and tho
only chance 'for an open date for the
two teams was found to be the 21st.
The Mercer authorities were then con
sulted and It was suggested that Tech
come to Macon on the ISth. This was<
•greed to, and It is now up to the
Georgia authorities to give tho word.
Anyway, Mercer will play Tech, but
whether It will be on Wednesday, tho
18th. or Saturday, the 21at. cannot be
stated until later in the week.
While the dope, up to Saturday, Indi
cated that Tech was far stronger than
Mercer, things look a bit different now,
The crushing defeat of Helsman'i
team by Auburn, which failed to beat
Mercer half as badly, gives Blake's
squad the best of It.. Then, besides,
Tech Is crippled, two star performers
being Injured.
Here are the record! of the south's

MACON BOY’S' PROMOTION
IN UNCLE SAM’S NAVY
Is Now First 8ignalman on the United
States Battleship North Caro
lina.
■Brevet Ueut. Seth .Knight, of the
Macon police, was made very happy
a few days ago, by receiving a letter
from his son. Herman^announcing his
promotion to first signalman on board
the United States battleship North
Carolina, one of the largest vessels
in the navy.
VERY LIKELY THAT THE LOCALS
WILL DEFEAT THE NORTH
GEORGIA TEAM—CHANGES
IN MERCER’S LINE-UP
Mercer versus Dahlonega.
These ^vll! be the opposing forces
in a gridiron battle at Central City
Park this afternoon. The game will
begin promptly at 3 o'clock.
There Is hardly any doubt but what
Mercer will triumph over the North
Georgia lads, although the latter hav
a fairly strong team, and play good
foot ball, thanks to the coaching of
Skinny Shipp, the ex-Vanderbllt star.
However, the Mercer team Is strong
er now than It lias been at any time
this season. Certain changes have
been nyido which strengthen the team
for both* f* "
and wh^cl
the least.
This afternoon It is likely that either
Salter* or Furmer will bo seen at quar
ter, a place which Mallnry and Jame
son liave hitherto filled. Both will be
In the lln'e-up, at some position. Sal
ter seems to be the find of the sea
son. In the Georgia game he de
monstrated his ability to tackle, to
advance the ball, and to handle punts.
Big Captain Scoggins is being play
ed at center and with success, while
Griffith has been switched to take
Farmer's place at full. From any
viewpoint the Mercer aggregation is
stronger than when It faced either Au
burn or Georgia. And Coach Blake
has developed a number of excellent
substitutes, among them Melton. ~Vt
and Newman. Melton will proba'
get Into today's scrimmage.
The Mercer team is rejoicing since
the result of the Auburn-Tech game.
The score made by Auburn against
Helsman's team would make It appear
that Mercer has a stronger team than
Tech, since the locals were only beat
en 23 to 0. They are therefore long
ing for their game with Tech, bellev
Ing that they will win.
A large crowd is expected to attend
today's game In order to get a line on
Mercer's new line-up.

A LIBERAL OFFER
The Taylor-Bayne Drun Co. Guarantee
to Cure Dyspepsia. If They Fail
the Medicine Costs Nothing,
To unquestionably prove to the peo
ple of Macon that indigestion and dys
pepsia Is curable and that Rexall Dya-
pepsla Tablets will effect tho cure,
will furnish the medicine absolute
ly free If it falls to give complete sat
isfaction to anyone giving it a trial.
The remarkable success of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to
the new and successful method of
manufacture, whereby the well-known
properties of Bismuth. Subnltrate and
Pepsin have been combined with car
minatives and their agents.
Bismuth, Subnltrate and Pepsin arc
recognized by the entlro medical pro
fession as specifics for acute indiges
tion and dyspepsia.
The Pepeln used in Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets Is manufactured by & new pro
cess which dsvelopa its greatest ef
ficiency. Pepsin suppllss to the diges
tive apparatus one of the most Impor
tant elements of the digestive fluid,
and exerts a tonic Influence upon all
the glands which supply all the othar
elements necessary to proper assimi
lation and digestion.
The carminatives add properties
which promptly relieve the disturb
ances and pain caused by undigested
food.
The perfect combination of these
ingredients make a remedy absolutely
incomparable and Invaluable for the
complete cure of Indigestion and dys
pepsia.
We are so positively certain of this
that we sell Rexall Dyspepela Tablets

JACKSONVILLE Fla., Nov. 8.—
When the January meeting of the
South Atlantic League ‘is held th Sa
vannah the sporting editors of the va
rious papers throughout the league will
meet and form an association, adopt
ing plans that are sure to prove bene
ficial to the league.
During tho world championship se
ries in Chicago, tho base ball writers
of the National and American leagues
held a meeting and funned an asso
ciation and discussed plans that would
help to keep the game "boosted" as
long as the members of the association
were in harness nnd had the privilege
of "slinging tho dopo."
Now that Chattanoog* and Colum
bus have been added to The South At
lantic League there aro no less than
fifteen newspapers published In the
league circuit. Of course, this num
ber Includes morning and afternoon
papers.
The movement of holding a January
meeting of the sporting scribes was
started some time ago by Franc Man-
gum, of The Macon Telegraph, and Mr.
Mungutn writes that he has heard from
representatives of every paper in tho
league and they aro enthusiastically
The scribes, fifteen In number, will
assemble on the day of the league
meeting and If the directors of the
league will grant permission the news
paper representatives will be present
at the meeting of the league officials
and will send out the news of the
meeting to their respective papers.
After the meeting of the league di
rectors has adjourned, the newspaper
men will have their meeting and form
a permanent organization, the name
of which will be decided upon at tho
meeting.
There are many matters which will
come up for consideration, among
which will be the sppolntment of
newspaper men aa official scorer*.
A uniform system of scoring will
also be adopted. It Is doubtful If
thero are two scorers In the league to
day who score exactly alike. Borne
of them are more liberal with base hits
than others, while some have tho wrong
Interpretation of part of the scor
ing rules. Tho scoring system will
be discussed at length at the January
meeting.
After the meeting of tho writers has
adjourned a banquet will he held and
then the* scribes will be ready to catch
the early morning trains for their home
cities. The motto of the association
will be "Boost the South Atlantic
League.",.

Macon Is practically assured of a

with Mr. Jones at tho helm. While
hd will not huvo anything to do with
tho active management, still he will
hav« the Interests of the club at heart,
anil will make It. like ho does all of
his Investments, a success.
New players are being signed by the
present owners right along, but aa yet
no manager has come this way. Effort
was made to get liemle McCay, but
he has signed with the Oakland, Cal.,

made, a playing mogul rill bo secured,

good man.
Tho club has six new men under
