White—Outcome of Jacksonville’s
Game With Charleston On Dee. 3
Will Be Watched With Mach In
terest Here—.lay* Will Present a
Strong Team to the Gull*.
For the next week the members of
the Savannah football team will be al
lowed to take life easy preparatory to
taking up the most elaborate training
work ever done by a Savannah team.
Capt. Cope is now engaged in map
ping out plans of work and no shirk
ers will be allowed on the team.
Cornwell came out of the Jackson
ville game remarkably well, but could
not play his usual game. He had to
present his left shoulder to the oppos
ing line, and very often lost his man
by failing to see the direction of the
pi >y.
Sullivan’s ankle is still giving him
trouble, and is no better from having
played the first half Thursday. Beyond
these two all of the men are in excel
lent condition.
To Piny Soldiers Again.
Another game will be played with
the Fort Screven team about the mid
dle of December. The soldiers are
working hard to perfect their team
work and give Savannah the hardest
game possible.
Rosslter and Black are expected to
return to Savannah its soon as they
can settle up their affairs at the Uni
versity of Georgia. Nothing has been
heard from either of them recently,
but there is no doubt, so far as the
management of the • Savannah team
knows, of either of the men returning
to Savannah.
Much interest is being evinced here
in the outcome of the game between
Jacksonville and Charleston, which
will be played in Charleston on Dec.
3. Jacksonville expects to have much
added strength for that game, and
should give the Gulls their first defeat
of the season. If Manager Dozier is
successful in securing the men he is
now after there Is little doubt of the
outcome.
Ynncy Brothers Great.
Hogan and Worth Yancy are two of
the best and most consistent players
ever seen in Savannah. They enjoy
the advantage of understanding each
other’s play thoroughly, and it is sel
dom that the one to carry the ball re
ceives it direct from the quarter.
A triple pass is almost always the
way the ball Is taken, arid with these
two heavy, but wonderfully fleet,
'brothers, interfering for each other,
their work is equal to that of five less
experienced men.
In picking an all-Southern fullback
last year John Longer DeSaulles, who
made the selection, evidently did not
see Worth Yancy play his game, or
he would never had decided In favor
of Hanvy, for there is absolutely no
comparison In the game which Hanvy
played against Savannah and the game
which Yancy presented. Yancy Is
faster, stronger, a better punter and
much surer at tackling.

JACKSONVILLE UNJUSTLY
CRITICISED CAPT. BLUN.
Gave Him Credit for Decisions Made
B y Jacksonville Man.
In a report of the game .between
Jacksonville and Savannah Thursday
the Florida Tlmes-Union refers to
Capt. Harry Blun as "a fellow named
Blun, who refereed,” and said that on
both occasions when Yancy was
brought back it was Capt. Blun who
did it, robbing Jacksonville of two
touchdowns.
Players in the game all know that
this Is absurd, as Mr. Harvey Payne
was refereeing the second half, when
Yancy was brought back to the thirty
yard line after his sensational 100-yard
run.
No explanation is made of the ac
tion of Mr. Payno in disallowing a
touchdown because two wildly dancing
Savannah substitutes happened to be
dancing behind the goal when Harmon
carried the ball over for a clean touch
down. won by hard, driving plays,
without the semblance of a fluke, and
after two severe penalties while the
ball was in Savannah’s possession.
Before leaving Savannah Worth
Yancy admitted that his brother ran
out of bounds in making his great
hundred-yard gain. This admission
was made to Capt. Blun. Mr. Frank
Mclntire, Mr. "Shorty” Jenkins and
others, and no one has any fear that
Worth Yancy will deny it.
Chappelle, well known to Savannah
people, who played on Jacksonville’s
left end, stated emphatically that he
saw Yancy step out of bounds in mak
ing the first touchdown. This state
ment was made In front of the same
party of gentlemen.
FINAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR
CHRISTMAS GAME WERE MADE
Jachsonville Will Bring Much Stronger Team
on Next Trip.
Manager Tom Dozier of the Jack
sonville football team remained in Sa
vannah until yesterday to complete ar
rangements for a return game with
the Savannah team, to finally settle
the question of supremacy. It was de
ckled to play the next game on Christ
mas Day, despite the fact that the
Charleston game comes just one week
later.
Owing to the fact that Christmas
falls on Sunday, the game will really
be played the day after, and the game
with Charleston will be played on Jan.

Manager Dozier stated yesterday
that he realized Savannah would be
MANY BETTORS HAVE WAGERS
STILLTIED UP ON GAME
Claimed That Referee Had Authority to Declare All
Bets Off.
Asa result of calling the game of
football between Savannah and Jack
sonville two minutes before time was
up there are many wagers still in the
hands of stakeholders, and bettors are
anxious to know just what to do.
Of course bets on the result of the
game are drawn, but it is the bets
made that Jacksonville would not
score that are being held up. In a
number of instances both parties to
the wager have left the matter to the
Morning News, although the claim Is
made that in calling the game, with
two minutes still left to play, the ref
eree declared all bets off.
In no contest has a referee, or of
ficial whose decision makes the final
result, a right to call off bets, unless
he sees that there Is a wilful "lay
down" on the part of one of the con
testants or contestors, which would in
dictate that it was fixed. Where c*n

So, if the referee in Thursday’s

It Is safe to say that If this question

JIMMY MICHAEL HAS
RIDDEN HIS LAST RACE.
Noted Wheelman Died Aboard the
Steamship La Savoie.
New York, Nov. 25.—Jimmy Mlqhael,
the noted Welsh middle distance bicy
cle rider, died suddenly last Monday
morning on board the French line
steamship La Savoie, from congestion
of the brain. Michael was coming to
the United States to race again and
he was accompanied by a number of
long-distance riders, who are to enter
the six-day contest to be held here in
December.
Michael complained of being ill on
Sunday, saying to the ship's doctor
that he was suffering from a very se
vere headache and nausea. He told
Dr. Maire that his illness was due, he
thought, to the after effects of a se
vere fall he received In Berlin two
years ago.
Dr. Maire attended the bicycle rider
faithfully during the remainder of that
day, and by night he succeeded in re
lieving him of pain. He retired early
and did not complain of feeling ill.
About 3 o’clock on Monday his com
panion, Jean Gougoltz, the French bi
cyclist, heard Michael struggling vio
lently In his stateroom. Dr. Maire,
who was at once called, pronounced
Michael's condition to be dangerous.
He was in violent delirium until 10
o'clock in the morning and an hour
later died. Dr. Maire said that his
death was caused by congestion of the
brain, undoubtedly due to a blood clot,
which had formed as a result of the
accident at Berlin.
The first news of Michael's death
was a wireless telegram to P. T. Pow
ers, manager of the six-day race, de
ceived from OousroMz.
Michael was matched to race Bobby

DR. O’CALLAHAN A SUCCESS.
Entertainment In Basement ol St.
Patrick's Church Was Pleasing.
One of the most enjoyable entertain
ments of the season was given last
night in the basement of St. Patrick’s
Church.
The opening song, “When Life Was
Brightest,” was sung by a chorus of
about twenty pretty and daintily at
tired little girls, whose countenances
were consistent with the title of the
song. The chorus again appeared to
assist Miss Paul in rendering a canoe
song, from the “School Girl.” Miss
Paul has a very pleasing voice, and
was well assisted by the chorus In
making the number one of the best
on the programme. Several other se
lections were rendered before the main
attraction, a roaring farce, entitled
“Dr. O'Callahan.” was presented.
Md. L. T. Doyle as Dr. O’Callahan
kept the audience in a roar of laughter
the entire time he was on the stage. He
seemed to lose his individuality and
become thoroughly identified with the
part he was acting, carrying it oft in
such a manner as to convince his audi
ence that they had a professional and
not an amateur before them. Mr.
Doyle was once associated with the
Ford Dramatic. Association of Ama
teurs, of which Mr. James Neil and
Mr. Frank Reddick were members.
Mr. Reddick is now with a company on
the Pacific slope.
After the performance the partici
pants assembled in one of the rear
rooms and presented Mr. Joseph Doyle,
stage manager, with a handsome gold
emblem of the Knights of Columbus in
token of their of his val
ued services in. making the perform-,
•ance a success. Mr. L. T. Doyle made
the presentation address.
