THE MACON DAILY TELEGRAPH: MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9, 1908 rf't BASEBALL—FOOTBALL Dy FRANC MANQUM. WILL CHANGE DATE TECH-MERGER GAME Gridiron Scrap Way Be Played In Ma con on Wednesday, November 18- 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 leading tearps for the season: Mercer. Date. Opponent Score.

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.

Dis crimination against the holder of one faith means retaliatory discrimination S alnst men of- other faiths.

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.",. BASEBALL CLUB IS T TO T Mind Your Business. If you don't nobody will.
