Chorus in Savnnuah'. Hattie
llyiuti.
Harder and harder has been the
work of the Savannah squad for the
last week in preparation for Monday’s
game with the Jays.
East night it seemed that the very
limit of human endurance had been
reached when Capt. Cope kept calling
on the men for faster and more con
centrated effort after an hour's gruel
ling work.
Savannah has never put forth a team
which has received as much hard, sys
tematic work. Neither has Savannah
ever produced an eleven as fast and
as finished as to the finer points of
the game. None of the ingenuity
known to the modern coach has been
neglected in bringing the men to the
point of perfection which will be neces
sary to triumph over the two magnifi
cent teams that will line up here one
week apart.
After last night’s practice Capt. Cope
was perhaps the least exhausted of all
the men, and stated he was more than
satisfied with the work of the men.
Will Play Rapidly.
It would be foolish now to outline
Savannah's system of play. They will
be mixed up with such rapidity, how
ever, that the opposing Jay outfit
may find itself played off its feet in
the first five minutes. An average of
ten plays to the minute was the way
the men rushed down the field last
night, and fumbling was conspicuous
by Its absence.
In the line up on defensive and of
fensive play there will be some
changes. Harmon will be used at
left half on the offensive and Lans
berg at right end. On the defensive
Lansberg will be shifted behind the
line and Harmon will take his position
at end. This is done because of the
peculiar qualifications of each of
these brilliant players.
Lansberg is recognized as one of
the strongest defensive players on the
line up, while Harmon’s breaking up
of plays is not so good. He tackles
well, but with the same fierce spirit
which characterizes Lansbergs work
in downing the running. In this the
veteran end is without a peer in the
South. Harmon stands out just as
prominently as an advancer of the
ball.
Jays Wttt Arrive To-night.
According to a statement made by
"Bill” Jones yesterday the Jays will
re.ach Savannah to-night shortly after
12 o'clock. They will make their
headquarters at the Pulaski House and
put in a quiet day of rest to-morrow.
Mr. Jones said he did not know posi
tively whether Kirby Smith would
play w’ith the Jacksonville team.
Yesterday Capt. Harry Blun pom
pleted the words to the song which all
rooters are requested to sing Monday.
A band will be engaged to lead the
song. The tin dumb bulls which are
being Bold around the city will be
largely in evidence with the rooters,
and there Is promise of enough noise
to put a competitive boiler foundry on
the blink.
JACK WARNER SOLD
TO ST. LOUIS CLUB.
Released Because Riant* Had Too
Many Catcher*.
Jack Warner will not be a member
of the Giants next season. Instead
he will play for the St. Louis National
League Club.
Word was received by Manager John
McGraw announcing that the St. Louis
management hid agreed to the pur
chase price proposed by McGraw for
Warner's release. Roger Bresnahan
will resume his position as catcher,
alternating with Frank Bowerman.
President John T. Bush said: “War
ner's release was sold because the
club had an excess of catchers —In fact
more than we knew what to do with.
The St. Louis club wanted Warner
and we concluded to sell him. Bower
man and Bresrfahan will do the bulk
of our catching, and I think will do It
well."
Brush was asked if there was any
truth in the report that Warner was
sold because he was held responsible
for attempting to create dissension
among the players and was not In ac
cord with the policy of the New York
management.
"That I know nothing about,” he
answered, “so far as I know he
was sold because we had no use for
him.”

YALE WAS DEFEATED
AT BASKET BALL.
Charleston Team Ployed All AronsG
the Son* of Ell.
Charleston, S. C„ Dec. 23.—Before
300 spectators, massed on the running
track of the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium
the boys from Yale went down before
the local association basketball team.
The game was well played, but the lo
cals, a little heavier and a fraction
taller, outplayed their Connecticut op
ponents at every point.
The game opened a little rough and
at times reminded one very much of
football. The referee was, however,
very alert, and fouls were promptly
called and the offending teams penal
ized.
The score, 29 to 17, showed more
than strength and weight, for the
points were made 14 to 12 on field
goals and 15 to 5 goals from the foul
lines. Two full twenty-minute
halves were played, and at the close
the Yale men admitted that they had
been outplayed by the Southerners,
and that the game was fairly and well
won.
The line up was as follows:
Yale. Charleston.
Anderson .. right forward ..Marshall
Barber left forward .... Thomas
Hyatt center Henerey
Rockwell .... right guard Barkerding

SAVANNAH’S BATTLE HYMN FOR
MONDAY’S GRIDIRON BATTLE.
When the cohorts assemble at Bolton Street Park Monday afternoon
to participate in the rooting for the Blue and White a brass band will be
on hand to lead the mammoth choir that will sing the following verse to
the air of "Teasing.” This production i3 by the well-known local foot
ball librettist, Capt. Harry Blun:
Tune: “Teasing.”
You feel so awful blue
You really don’t know what on earth to do,
You played a game of football.
You were never In It—not in at all.
We made a touchdown and then a goal;
And tills is the story told:
Savannah won, and won with ease.
Back, back to Jacksonville and sit down, please! ■ "
Teasing, teasing. Thanksgiving we were teasing you;
Teasing, teasing, to find out just what you could do.
Of course, you know, that vie were—
Teasing, teasing, you are not in it with the White and Blue.
Don't be angry; we've got it in for sleepy Charleston, too!
EXPERTS BELIEVE DECISION OF
REFEREE ROACH WAS FAIR
That Britt Was Cleverest Seems to Be the Unan
imity of Opinion.
San Francisco, Dec. 23.—Although a
few complaints against the declsioh
of the referee are heard, most . fight
followers agree that Britt fairly earn
ed his victory over Nelson.
As the fight went the limit it had
to be decided on points and there is
no question th’at Britt landed three
blows for every one Nelson sent home.
In fact. Nelson did not land a dozen
clean hits during the entire contest,
most of his blows were delivered when
they were at short range.
It Is an undeniable fact that Nelson
was not hurt by the blows he received
and was as fresh as a “d'aisy” at the
end of the fight, and for this reason
some think Roche should have called
it a draw.
The following are the opinions of
some of the leading experts in fisti
cuffs:
Jack Welch—Roche could give no
other decision. Britt outboxed and out
pointed Nelson In nearly every round.
Eddie Smith—lf I Wad been in the

Californian Has Cleaned Pugilistic Slate in His
Class Here.
San Francisco, Dec. 23.—There is an
air of general satisfaction in this town
over the result of Tuesday's battle be
tween “Jimmy” Britt and Battling
Nelson. With the fight now over, the
topic of conversation is: Who will be
Britt's next opponent? A number of
challenges were read at the ringside,
but as yet none of them have been
given any consideration.
Of all the defls hurled at the win
ner the one that will receive the most
attention is the challenge sent by
Charlie Mitchell, the former English
heavyweight pugilist, on behalf of his
protege, Jabez White. If matched the
battle would have an international as.

White will sail for America within
a few days and it is not Improbable
that Britt will agree to give the Eng

ever, ask for a few weeks' rest be

eral of the sporting organizations in
this city are now busy trying to match
Nelson with “Young Corbett,” Britt to
meet the winner.
Everyone at the ringside applauded
the grit and stamina of Nelson, and
there were a few who believed that
Referee Roche could have called the
fight a draw. All seemed to agree that
Britt showed the greater cleverness
throughout.
“It was a repetition of the Jeffries-
Sharkey fight,” said Referee Roche.
“Brlti, like Jeffries, -did the clever
fighting, hitting cleanly and generally
outpointing his opponent, while Nel
son trusted to mad rushes and his
ability to withstand punishment.”
Neither man showed to-day the ef
fects of the terrible gruelling he got.
There was a slight scar on Britt's fore
head. Nelson was unmarked.
Britt's share of the purse amounts
to $8,877, Nelson's to $5,918. The to
tal receipts were $26,900. The Yose

AIMS AND PURPOSES OF
EDUCATORS’ CONVENTION.
Committee Seeks to Awaken Inter
est In the .Jacksonville Meeting,.
Washington, Dec. 23.—A report cal
culated to aw-aken interest in the
forthcoming meeting of the Southern
Educational Association at Jackson
ville, Fla., has just been Issued by
the Committee on “Aims and Pur
poses” of the association. The report
disclaims the existence of the associ
ation as due to sectional sentiment,
“but,” it adds, “there is a community
of interest in educational matters in
the Southern states such as belongs to
no other group of states in the Ameri
can Union.”
The impoverishment of the endowed
and private schools and the passing
from the educational system which met
the needs of the white citizens in for
mer days to a system of schools sup
ported by the people and framed to
meet the needs of all citizens and the
demands of the twentieth century,
“have rendered necessary educational
changes radical as to principles and
revolutionary as to methods.”
“The enfranchisement of the ne
groes,” the report says, “added to the
citizenship of these states a generation
ago an unexampled burden of illiter
acy, the mode of relief from which it
is our duty to determine and to accom
fflish.
“The effort to provide rural schools
In any sense worthy of the need has
disclosed, from the Appalachian moun
tain section to the pine woods of Geor
gia, Florida and Mississippi, and even
in the rich delta of the Mississippi, dif
ficulties, affecting primarily the devel
opment of the schools for the white
race, to which is added the enormous
burden of responsibility entailed upon
the white race by the presence of the
negro, and the necessity for preventing
his degradation and helping him to a
better and more useful life.
“The named have marked
the section in which we live with a
degree of illiteracy that is appalling.
The South holds 24 per cent, of the na
tive white population of the country
and 64 per cent, of the native white
illiterates of the country. To this is
added the enormous and dangerous
burden of negro illiteracy.”
While the association heartily ap
preciates the interest and sympathy
of philanthropists everywhere, the re
port says, “the problems confronting
us are too complex to be easily un
derstood by study at a distance, too
delicate for unsympathetic handling
and too great for anything less than
united effort to be effective in their
solution.
“In dealing with the municipal
schools, graded schools, high schools
and college work, as to co-ordination
and methods, we need to know at
once what can and what cannot be
carried out under our conditions.
“And when we have strengthened
our faith and hope by mutual coun
sel regarding the work of education
for the white race we need to look
well to that other w r ork for ■which,
whether we wish it or not, we are held
responsible to the world and to our
posterity—the training of the negro
race.
"To study and discuss the problems
and policies with which we, who live
and work in the Southern states, arc
concerned, to compare the experiences
of each so that they may be profit
able to all, to Investigate conditions
and needs peculiar to our own section
and to encourage each other in these
efforts are the aims of the Southern
Educational Association.
“However widely the educational
needs of the South may differ from
those of other sections they are still,
in an important sense national needs
and must be considered In the light of
national Ideals and In the spirit of
that broad patriotism which regard*
sectional problems a* vital elements
In the life of the nation.”

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY
SEA ISLAND COTTON MEN
MAY HOLD CONVENTION
One Needed to Discuss Matters of Interest to
Business.
The suggestion will be made by Mr.
J. A. Nelson of the Cotton Trade Jour
nal in to-day's issue of that publica
tion, that the sea island cotton plant
ers Organize for mutual benefit, and
the further suggestion will be made
that the meeting for this purpose be
held in Savannah in the near future.
The Cotton Trade Journal will say:
“The sea island cotton planters of
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida
have questions of mutual interest to
themselves to discuss yearly that pass
unnoticed since there Is no organiza
tion to bring them together. Efforts
to plan and adopt better methods in
producing finer staple, fighting the
posts that damage the crop, use of the
right variety of seed, producing a sta
ple best suited to the trade demands,
methods and benefits of fertilization
and advantageous marketing, are be
ing studied yearly by planters, but the
good results obtained by individuals Is
of little use to the industry generally
because this knowledge does not reach
all by a wholesome and intelligent in
terchange of thought. The value of
the sea island cotton Industry to these
states depends largely upon the high
plane on which it 1* kept by the adop
tion of such methods and the applica
tion of such knowledge a* an Inter
change of practical facts and thoughts
would develop.

cottons now used am substitutes for sea
island cotton, we suggest a convention
In Savannah early In the new year of
all planters for the purpose of organ
izing and carrying out such programme
as may appear calculated to result in
most good.
"In suggesting that sea Island cot
ton planters organize, let us not be
misunderstood as desiring In the re
motest a market fighting organization,
or to otherwise resist the natural laws
of supply and demand In fixing prices.
Questions of sufficient Importance In
fixing the value of this cotton could be
profitably discussed In convention to
many times equal advantages in other
directions.
"Paramount among the questions
such a convention should consider Is
the use of fresh seed, which has cost
the planters by neglect In all three
states thousands of dollars In recent
years that would have been saved to
them by the expenditure of a few dol
lars more for good seed. No doubt
government experts and prominent sea
island planters could be heard with
great profit on the use of right seed
from the right place, and the right
place is the sea islands. Other sub
jects equally Important are matters of
detail that will be worked out If the
i planters desire to convene."
Opinions have been received from
many of the largest growers and inte
rior buyers of this class of cotton, and
they are practically a unit in the be
lief that such an organization as Is
proposed should be formed, as the work
that It would accomplish is one of vital
Importance to the business as a whole.
Local members of the cotton trade
who are Interested In the sea Island
brunch, are also of the opinion that
any measure that would bring about a
realization on the part of the planter
that to secure best results from ids
crop, to secure even satisfactory re
sults, It Is n.-teasary thet he secure
