IMPORTANT GAMES
TO-MORROW.
Tech. vs. Georgia.
Sewanee vs. Tulane.
Clemson vs. University of Ten
nessee.
Yale vs. Princeton.
Harvard vs. Holy Cross.
Pennsylvania vs. Indians.
Cornell vs. Columbia.
Michigan vs. Chicago.
With to-morrow's games the football
season reaches Its zenith and the de
cisive battles of the gridiron will be
fought in the East and West, while
there remains a few important games
in the South.
There are three great games in
which local interest centers. First of
these is the Tech-Georgia game at
Atlanta. While the outcome of this
contest is almost assured to favor
Tech, supporters of the Red and Black
here hope there will be a surprise in
this season of surprises, and that Geor
gia will win. There is nothing on which
to build such a hope, unless it bo that
Georgia has improved wonderfully in
the last seven days.
Georgia will go into the game much
heavier than the perfect fighting ma
chine which Heisman has moulded with
his master skill. The excess in weight
is said to be about SV& pounds per man,
which is an advantage not to be over
looked. Against this weight Heisman
will match his ingenuity and trickery
in a team which has shown wonderful
strength in its first year under him.
The score in this game should be about
16 to 0 in favor of Tech.
In the East the crowning event of
the spectacular season will take place
at Princeton when the orange and
black and the blue will be engaged. By
the majority Yale is picked to win. Just
why has not appeared. Such a selec
tion is certainly not supported by the
records of the two teams so far this
season. It may be because there are
such well-known veterans on the team
as Bloomer, Hogan, Shevltn and others
who are known to be all that is good
in football.
But Princeton has bullded again of
younger men, with that dash and vim
that has won so many games for them
already. They are men who have not
yet taken football "gone back," as is
so often the case with men who have
played one or two seasons. Indeed
Capt. Hogan found great difficulty in
holding his position on the Yale 'var
sity, and would no doubt have lost had
it not been for his superior knowledge
and the inspiration he had for the oth
er players.
According To the scores, which are
printed here, Princeton has made a
record which shows that the Blue will
not have such an easy task as many
believe.
At Ann Arbor to-day Chicago and
Michigan will battle for the champion
ship of the Middle West. Yost and
Stagg have worked hard for the game,
wMh Yost now looking as the probable
winner. At any rate, the struggle will
be a bitter one, and Capt. Heston and
his men will have hard work with the
heavy team Stagg has coached.

SAVANNAH TEAM WILL
NOT PLAY GEORGIA.
Player* Say They Do Not Feel They
Hare lleen Treated Right.
After consulting with Capt. Cope,
and the players on the Savannah foot
ball team. Manager Mclntire yesterday
formally notified Manager Hull, of the
Georgia University eleven, that Savan
nah would not accept the Mississippi
College's discarded date, and had de
cided to worry along through the rest
of the season without a game from
Georgia.
There is, however, a strong senti
ment here favoring a game with Geor
gia, provided one can be arranged after
Thanksgiving, and If Georgia wants a
date, and makes application for it, it is
believed the management of the Savan
nah team, and the players, will recon
sider. Savannah has certainly done all
that could be expected under the cir
cumstances.
SEWANEE TEAM JA/ON.
Dallas, Tex., Nov. 10.—The A. and
M. College eleven of College Station
was defeated here to-day by the Sewa
nee eleven. The score was 17 to 5
in favor of the Tennesseeans.
BLUE AND WHITE SLAMMED
THROUGH TWO HOURS
GRUELLING PRACTICE
Capt. Cope Working Wonders With the Material
Now at Hand.
For two weary hours last night Capt.
Cope slammed the Blue and White
squad through toilsome practice, per
fecting those little details of play which
mark the superiority of the great col
lege teams over their lesser rivals.
During the last ten days, Capt. Cope
has been giving the squad the benefit
of the new ideas and methods he pick
ed up while assisting in training the
Sewanee squad. The men have been
put through exercises that they have
never seen before, and no longer will
there be the complaint of “lack of
condition” and "too slow” when the
team trots on the field.
Those out last night were: Futch,
center; Hicks, Monsees, and Morgan,
guards; Cornwall, Johnson and Mitch
ell, tackles; Shortridge, quarterback;

BEWARE OF SUBSTITUTIONS.
OLIVER’S GELDING WON BOTH
ON SPEEDWAY BRUSH YESTERDAY
Second Event Was One of the Most Exciting Ever
Seen Here.
Nearly two hundred Savannah peo
ple drove out the Augusta road yes
terday afternoon to witness the
speedway brushes between three gen
tlemen drivers who have been claiming
supremacy for their trotters.
The races were pulled off between
the six and seven mile posts. A coin
was tossed to decide the starting place,
and Mr. Charlie Oliver won the choice,
choosing to start from the sixth mile
post, and trot to the seventh. Mr.
William Mitchell was starter and Mr.
F. M. Butner was Judge.
The first race was between Mr. Oli
ver's big bay gelding and Mr. Jarrell’s
brown mare Lizzie. The gelding was
Sullivan, Doty, and Colquitt, half
backs; Artly, full back and Cubbedge,
end. Neither Landsberg nor Smith,
ends, were able to be present. Hig
gams guard, could not get away from
hiS work and other candidates were
absent for various reasons.
The improvement of the team over
the work which was exhibited In the
Florida State College game is truly
wonderful. There is more speed,
fiercer charging, more rapid alignment
and more staying powers. So hard is
each man working that it is practi
cally impossible to name the personnel
of the team as it will finally be.
Those who have seen the work of the
team have no fear of the Charleston
aggregation, and there are ‘‘large
bunches” of Savannah “mazooma”
waiting to be covered, If Charleston
enthusiasts are willing to make a ven
ture.

an easy winner in this event, and was
brought back to the post for the final
brush with Mr. Exley's bay pacing
mare Muremie.
They were off to an even break and
away they went, followed by a cloud
of dust and a half hundred vehicles.
Many of the spectators were located
near the finish line, and as the two
horses came down the road there did
not seem to be an inch difference in
their position. Just before crossing
the tape the big gelding made a final
spurt and nosed the mare out for first
place.
Mr. Thomas McDonnell, who was a
substantial backer of the gelding, was
one of the happiest .men on the pike.
More races of this nature will be pull
ed off later.
WHAT WILL HE DO
WITH THE BEEF TRUST?
Roosevelt line Thin Qneation Under
Advisement.
Washington, Nov. 10.—Ten thousand
congratulatory messages have been re
ceived by President Roosevelt. Not
withstanding their immense number,
the President has decided that each
one is to be answered and this work
will require, perhaps, several weeks.
President Roosevelt received to-day
an undiminished number of callers. At
torney General Moody and James R.
Garfield, commissioner of corporations,
were among the visitors. Later they
will take up with the President the
work of Mr. Garfield’s bureau, con
cerning which the President will have
some recommendations to make to Con
gress in his annual message.
The investigation of the beef trust
instituted by the bureau of corpora
tions at the instance of Congress, prac
tically has been completed. No inti
mation is given as to the nature of the
report or of what recommendations, if
any, Mr. Garfield may submit. It dan
be said authoritatively that any sug
gestions that legal action may be taken
by the government against the beef
trust or against .any aggregation of
capital, as a result of the Investiga
tions made by the bureau of corpora-,
tions, are premature. No decision yet
has been reached and none will be
reached until the report has been con
sidered thoroughly by the President
and his advisers.
QUESTION OF MOROCCO
Wan Dincnnncd In the French Cham
ber of Dejiutlen.
Paris, Nov. 10.—Foreign Minister
Deicasse, discussing the Moorish ques
tion in the Chamber of Deputies to
day, said the base of France’s colonial
empire was in the Mediterranean. Mo
rocco, under French influence, meant
Algeria strengthened; under foreign in
fluence, it meant Algeria continually
threatened. The problem was how to
establish French influence—in other
words, strengthen France's power in
the Mediterranean without offending
the Powers.
"We have silently pursued the real
ization of this aim,” M. Deicasse said,
"and have wasted no time or efforts.
We are now united with Italy in firm
friendship. We have made with Spain
an arrangement dictated by respect
for international equity and desire for
the peaceful perpetuation of Morocco.
This arrangement is based on the in
tegrity of Morocco and the suzerainty
of the Sultan. What we concede is
valuable only to England; what Eng
land concedes is valuable only to us.
The world is now convinced that
French policy seeks France's advan
tage only through harmony, which is
| beneficial to all.”
Before the chamber rose. Premier
Combes announced that he brought in
the name of the President of the re
public, a bill for the separation of
church and state.
“THE STRENUOUS LIFE”
GETS INTO ITALIAN.
Sons of Italy Are to Renal the Book
of Roosevelt.
Rome, Nov. 10.—The election of Mr.
Roosevelt to the presidency of the
United States has been made the oc
casion for the Issuance of an Italian
translation of his book, "The Strenuous
Life” which is having a large sale. The
newspapers of Rome print appreciative
articles on the election of President
Roosevelt.
The Csservatore Romano, official
organ of the Vatican, says: "Mr.
Roosevelt, while an eminent states
man, able diplomatist and eloquent
writer, Is showing depth arid broad
ness. He stands out for simplicity of
life, love of family and rectitude of
principles. Therefore, It Is easy to
understand the manifestations of re
joicing over his election in which
numerous Catholics In the great re
public join, having nothing to say of
him but of praise."
NEGRO WAR COSTS

Berlin, Nov. 10.—A supplementary
budget of $20,000,000 for the expenses
of the army In German Southwest Af
rica as a result of the insurrection, will
be presented to the Reichstag In De
cember.
Even this sum embarrasses the Im

ing to reduce the annual deficits and at
the same time provide additional funds
for various public works and for the

The progress in suppressing the na

RECOMMENDATION THAT THEY BE
INCREASED MADE.
Annual Meeting Wan Largely At
tended—Report* of All the Stand
ing Committee*, of the Superin
tendent and Vice Pre*ident, Act
ing in Place of the President,
Were Read—The Election of Offi
cer* to Take Place Monday.
The annual meeting of the Savannah
Cotton Exchange was held yesterday
afternoon beginning at 6 o'clock. It
was attended by an unusually large
number of the members of the organ
ization who listened with interest to
the reports of the various committees,
and to those of the secretary and
treasurer, Capt. J. J. Gaudry and to
Capt. G. P. Walker, vice president,
who because of the absence from the
city of Mr. J. B. Holst, the president,
presided.
Possibly of chief interest was the
suggestion of the Finance Committee,
indorsed by Vice President Walker,
that the dues of the members be in
creased to SSO a year instead of re
maining at S4O.
The order of procedure at the meet
ing was: Reports of the Committees
on Appeals, Finance, Information and
Statistics, Quotations, F. O. B. Quo
tations, Transportation, Classing Cot
ton, River and Harbor, Meteorology,
Floor, House, Sea Island Cotton. The
superintendent's report followed and
then that of Vice President Walker.
Tlie reports show the affairs of the
exchange to be in a very satisfactory
condition; that they meet the approval
of the members was shown by the ap
plause that followed, Capt. Walkers
report. This follows:
Vice President'* Report.
“Gentlemen; In the absence of our
honored president, Mr. J. B. Holst, it
becomes my pleasing duty to invite
your attention to the comprehensive re
ports of your superintendent and stand
ing committees, showing the workings
of the exchange for the past year.
“You will observe from the report of
the Finance Committee, that owing to
increased telegraphic service, the ex
penses are thereby increased to exceed
our income, and I. would recommend
that their suggestion be adopted to in
crease the annual dues to fifty dollars,
thereby enabling the former financial
condition of the exchange to be main
tained .
"During the year Mr. A. J. Ives
was appointed to represent the Cotton
Exchange on a committee from the va
rious commercial and mercantile bod
ies in the city, and the city government
of which the Mayor of the city was
chairman, to appeal to the Railroad
Commission In order to prevent dis
crimination in freight rates against
Savannah.
Engllnli Spinner* Invited.
“Pursuant to resolution adopted at
the general meeting of the exchange,
Oct. 3. a joint invitation was sent by
the Mavor of Savannah and the Cot
ton Exchange to the Federation of
Master Spinners’ Association of Man
chester, England, to visit our city dur
ing their contemplated visit to the
South.
“At the same meeting a committee
of five was appointed to interview the
leading resident officials of the vari
ous railroads terminating at Savannah,
and the resident directors of the Atlan
tic Compress Company, with a view
to concert measures by which the ex
isting block of the movement of cot
ton from the interior to Savannah, and
in the movement from Savannah ter
minals and presses to steamers would
be remedied.
"Mr. John H. Hunter was appointed
a delegate to the convention held in
St. Louis, on Oct. 28, and composed of
representatives of commercial, mer
cantile, manufacturing and agricultu
ral bodies, for the purpose of taking
steps to expedite legislation by Con
gress, as will give relief from unjust
railroad rates and discrimination.
“With the continued fair weather In
the harvest season, the cotton crop of
1904-5 promises to be a record breaker.
Already the receipts at Savannah since
Sent,. 1 to date, amount to 783,224,
which would indicate that we are to
receive a million and a half bales be
fore the season ends.”
The election of officers for the com
ing year will take place Monday.
TAFT AND HIS*FRIENDS

Panama, Nov. 10.—Any 111 feeling
that may have existed between Pan

of differences over the canal zone af
fairs seems to be disappearing. Pan

Lawyer Tells How He Saved His Cli

From the New York Press.
"Our cleverest work," said the old
lawyer reminiscently, "is not always
done In court.”
"No?” said the young man Inquiring
ly. "Possibly you could give an illus
tration.”
“Undoubtedly I could,” replied the old
lawyer. "In fact, I was thinking of the
case of an Irascible old fellow who ones
kicked a servant out of the house. I
believe there was a difference of opin
ion as to the amount of wages the man
was entitled to. At any rate, the testy
old gentleman put hltnself In the wrong
when he ejected the man with violence
of both language and action and the
man was smart enough to know It.
"He hunted up a lawyer Immediately
and put the ease in hie hands and th~n

LINDSAY & MORGAN
was mud clear through and he waa go
ing to fight the case all the way up to
the highest court and back again If
necessary. He was a personal friend of
nirhe, and I didn’t want to see him
waste hie money foolishly, so I advised
him to compromise It.
” ’Not If he offers to compromise for
10 cents,' he answered Vociferously. Til
light this esse clear to the limit no mat

speaks to me now of the clever work I
did in that case, but he doesn't know
how clever It really was and what a
lot of cash It saved him."
