Sneered Roasiiter at Tackle.
A little stiff and sore the members of
the football squad commenced the
final preparations for the game Mon
day with the old enemy Charleston.
Considering the fierce game Monday the
practice last night was particularly
good.
Frank Mclntlre was perhaps the most
badly bruised man in line, but he said
he was feeling fine and soon worked
the kinks out of his muscles. Asa re
sult of the forced retirement of Berdie
Sulhvan there are several changes in
prospect before the Charleston game,
and Savannah will go into the game
with the heaviest backfield shown this
year.
Much depends on whether Highams,
who it was thought would positively
be here, arriving. Manager Mclntire
stated last night that he hoped to hear
definitely to-day whether Highams
would be here.
Rovviter in Backftelil.
If the present plans of the manage
ment materialize Joe Rossiter will be
brought back into the backfield, eith
er at half or at fullback. If he goes
in at fullback Frank Mclntire will be
shifted over to right half, Harmon
still playing at left half. Highams,
who Is a star tackle, would probably
be used in place of Rossiter at tackle,
the rest of the line remaining as it is
at present.
It is believed that this line up
would strengthen the team 20 per
cent. What a star Rossiter would
make in the backfield. smashing into
the line with the start he would have
like a ton of brick! There is little
doubt that in the matter of short
sure gains this backfield would be
even as strong as thp Yancys added,
and would certainly make a stronger
combination on the defensive. On
defensive work neither of these two
men were up to the standard of their
offensive play, and neither was as
sure in ground gaining as Rossiter.
Only Home Talent Wanted.

IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BRING
500 HORSES HERE TO WINTER
Wealthy Race Horse Owner Wintering Here Says
Savannah Climate is Great.
Mr. J. C. McCoy of Kirkwood. Del.,
who is wintering a string of tine trot
ting and pacing horses at the track of
the Savannah Racing Association, said
yesterday that the possibilities of Sa
vannah as a wintering .spot for blood
ed race horses is unlimited, and the
only thing that keeps Northern horse
men from coming here is there are not
proper accommodations.
"Wealthy horse owners are willing
to pay for anything good and pay
well for it,” said Dr. McCoy, "but they
are not willing to pay for something
that is not good, or to change condi
tions for themselves. If proper en
couragement was held out to them I
know the owners of at least 500 valu
able trotting horses would come to
Savannah to spend the winter.'
"Memphis," said Dr. McCoy, “now
has a' tremendous number of horses
in winter quarters there simply be
cause there are improvements there
and arrangements made for the care
of the horses. Owners of fine light
harness horses do not care about the
small item of stall rent if they get
what they want. Memphis is just be
tween the North and the South, so
far as climate for wintering horses is
concerned, and if Savannah held out
the same inducements in the way of
stable comforts that are afforded in
Memphis she would get all of these
horses.
Splendid Track Here.
"I know of but one track that is as
good as the Savannah track this far
South. That is at Los Angeles, Cal.,
and of course, that is too far for us

pressed to call in outside material to
play in the Charleston game, but has
resolutely stuck to home talent and
has reaped a rich reward by the tre
mendous attendance which has broken
all former records. This is largely ac
countable for by the fact that all Sa
vannah men are used on the team.
A persistent rumor has been going
the rounds that Phillips, of Sewanee,
Blake of Vanderbilt. Hogan and Worth
Yancy of the Jacksonville team, jand
Capt. Hogan of the Yale team, would
be on the Savannah line up. The only
negotiations that were ever made for
outside players was a casual remark
addressed to Hogan TTaney asking
whether he would play with Savannah
New Year.
Phillips is willing to come, but neith
er he nor Blake will be asked to play,
and the rumor that Capt. Hogan of
Yale, would play is as absurd as it Is
untrue. No one would think of asking
him to play, knowing so well his aver
sion to any publicity in the sport, other
than that which naturally comes with
his connection with the Yale eleven.
Capt. Hogan is here on a pleasure trip,
and will probably not be in Savannah
Monday.
All Savannah Men.
The only change in the line up
Monday will be one that is made by
force of necessity. Sullivan cannot
play, and the available men for the
backfield are as yet too inexperienced
*o be trusted in such a hard battle as
the game with Charleston is sure to
be.
Mitchell, who was hurt in the early
part of the season, will probably be
able to line up Monday in the event
he is needed. If he gets into the
plays during the week, as it is believed
he will, he will in all probability go
down on the regular line up.
According to the Charleston papers
there is not the slightest fear that the
long record of triumphs of the Blue
and White will not be broken. They
use as a basis for this conclusion the
last game with Jacksonville. It does
not appear, however, just how deduc
tions from these contests produce
such results, as Jacksonville defeated
Charleston and after strengthening
materially, failed to defeat Savannah.
Where Will Credit Bef
What will the credit be to Charles
ton if the team which plays against
Savannah Monday does win? Who on
it will be able to claim the champion
ship for the Home of Antiquity? What
glory can the Charleston enthusiast
gain by seeing an all-professional team,
which merely practiced on Charleston
grounds for 'a name, win from an all
amateur eleven, members of which
were born and reared in Savannah?
Whichever team wins, those who
attend are sure to witness a contest
well worth their time and expense.
Football as it is being played in the
South is rapidly developing into the
same sfate of perfection as the large
teams of the East, and as a mere
athletic spectacle they are just as
good to look at.
Charleston has on its line up men
who would star on any team, who
have never been to college. She also
has two all-Southern stars, and will
probably have more by the time the
team finally starts for Savannah.
Easterners to go. When I came to
Savannah and saw the dilapidated con
dition of the stables and track at the
Fair Grounds I was disposed to leave
without investigation. I went out,
however, and dug up a part of the
track and found it made of the very
best material, and after making some
repairs myself I decided to bring my
horses here
"Running horses never benefit a race
course. Asa rule the men who own
them are not able to own horses, and
are always betting every dollar they
can afford on their horses. None but
the big tracks ever make anything
out of the running horses, and those
who race their hor. fs there have pri
vate training quarters of their own.
Trotting horse men seldom ever bet
on their horses, and 90 per cent, of
them are wealthy men, while it is
just the reverse with running horse
owners.
Horse. In Fine Shape.
“I find that my horses are now in
April 20 form, and when I start out
in April to racing them slow miles
they will be several weeks in advance
of those who have wintered farther
north. Everything here is admirably
adapted to the rapid advance of the
condition of the trotter and pacer, the
water is good, the track is good, and I
find Savannah one of the most attrac
tive cities I have ever been in. My
wife will Join me In a few days, and
we will spend the rest of the winter
here.”
Dr. McCoy believes that at least 500
light harness horses could be brought
here, paying good stall rent and be
ing of great benefit to the city if suit
able Improvements were made at the
Savannah Racing Association track.
to raising Chatham county's share.
The amount to be raised In the First
Congressional district, in accordance
with the plan adopted by the trustees,
is SSOO. A considerable part of this
amount has already been raised. Sa
vannah and Chatham county are ex
pected to. contribute between SIOO and
S2OO.
There are about fifteen pupils of the
Normal School from Bavannah and the
most of these are now home for the
holidays. They will endeavor to raise
the amount expected of Savannah.
The school has received $20,000 from
Mr. George Foster Peabody and Col.
James M. Smith, provided $5,000 ad
ditional In raised throughout the state
by subscription, and will make avail
able $25,000, appropriated by the Leg
islature. The trustees named a chair
man for each Congressional district
to take charge of the fund collected
in that district, and the response has
been a generous one.

AT THE THEATER
"East Lynne” and “The Child
Stealer” were the bills which the Ar
nold Stock Company presented to
large audiences at matinee and even
ing performances yesterday. This com
pany is playing to unusually good bus
ines. testifying to the satisfaction of
those who attend. To-night “The
Garrison Girl” will be presented.
There will be a change of specialties.
One of the most successful plays of
recent years, Georgfe Ade’s comedy
drama, “The County Chairman” (not
a musical comedy), which Henry W.
Savage offers here Monday matinee
and night, ran practically the entire
season at Wallack’s Theater in New
York, and before that for the better
part of a season in Chicago. It is a
play with a strong heart interest, but
abounds with funny lines and situa
tions.
In the writing of witty lines George
Ade stands without a peer in this
country to-day, and his handling of
the stirring dramatic situations in
“The County Chairman” established
him at once as one of the foremost
dramatists. “The County Chairman"
tells a wholesome story of life in a
Middle Western village in the early
eighties. The characters are remark
ably well drawn.
There is Jim Heckler, the open
hearted, bluff, political manager with
a keen sense of right and wrong and
a penchant for quoting Shakespeare,
and there’s Sassafras, the idle, shift
less darky who sells his vote with
out fear or favor to each of the can
didates. but despite this weakness is
a general favorite. These characters
will be remembered when many of
the plays are forgotten. In Mr. Sav
age’s splendid production of “The
County Chairman,” the part of Jim
Heckler is played by Theodore Rob
erts. the well-knovyn character actor,
and that of Sassafras by George
Thatcher, the famous minstrel. Seats
on sale Friday morning. Matinee prices
are: Orchestra, $1.50 and $1.00; bal
cony, 75 and 50 cents; gallery, 25
cents. At night: Orchestra, $1.50; bal
cony, SI.OO and 75 cents; gallery, 50
cents.
THE CORNELL CONCERT.
The Cornell Musical Clubs, which will
be in Savannah next Tuesday, gave the
third concert of their mid-winter holi
day tour in Washington last night.
After the concert a reception was giv
en by the Washington alumni at the
new Willard Tlotel. To-night the
clubs will be In Richmond. The open
ing concert in New York city .Mon
day night was one of the most bril
liant the clubs have ever given. One
of the special features for which the
concerts are noted is the variety and
scope of their programme. Realizing
that monotony is the most dreaded
thing that faces any public entertain
er, they bend their efforts toward en
tertaining their audience, from the
time the curtain rises on the sweet
strains of “Alma Mater” until it falls
upon the last echoes of the “Evening
Song,” sung to the tune of “Maryland,
My Maryland.”
One of the cleverest touches In the
programme is said to be the "Alphonse
and Gaston," sung by the Glee Club.
Warner and Holmes, the soloists, act
a series of episodes In which their
courtesy and gallantness makes the
“After you, my dear Alphonse” and
“After you, my dear Gaston” a source
of endless difficulty and embarrass
ment. After each stanza the chorus
is divided Into a. bunch of Alphonses
on the one hand and Gastons on the
other, each half bowing and scraping
alternately until the climax, when both
sections simultaneously bend double.
Another feature is the singing by Mr.
Rose of the "Alumni Song” at the
opening of the programme, and who
later takes part in several duet and
quartette numbers. “The Wogglewoo
and Lalyltl,” sung by Rose and Holmes,
is a fantastic piece. A quartette com
posed of Rose, Holmes, Rodgers and
Steele will sing "De Backslldin' Brud
der.” Then comes the inimitable “Aft
er You.” The sale of seats for the con
cert will open at the theater box office
Saturday morning.
THE KNIGHTS OF COM MBPS.
Savannah Council No. 631 Knights of
Columbus will meet to-morrow, night
at 8:30 o’clock in Catholic Library
Hall. Arrangements will be made at
the meeting for the Initiation of several
candidates for membership and also
for an Interesting entertainment next
month.

Columbia, S. C., Dec. 28.—A move
ment was inaugurated in this city to
day which is conceded to be of great
interest and importance to the entire
country. Permanent organization of
the Inland Waterways Association was
perfected and officers elected. Mr. W r .
A. Clark, president of the Columbia
Chamber of Commerce, acted as tem
porary chairman. Rev. S. M. Smith,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, delivered the invocation.
Permanent organization was effected
by the election of J. H. Chadbourn, of
the Wilmington, N. C., Chamber of
Commerce, as president; E. B. Clark,
of the Columbia Chamber of Com
merce, as secretary.
Vice presidents were elected from
each state represented, and the presi
dent was authorized to appoint a per
manent Executive Committee. Ar
rangements were made for holding an
nual meetings of the association at
such time and place as may be fixed
by the Executive Committee.
Delegates from Five States.
Delegates were present representing
the commercial organizations from five
states on the Atlantic seaboard, from
as far north as Baltimore, and also
Congressional representatives from
several states.
Congressman J. H. Small of the First
North Carolina district, who is the
father of the movement, was a lead
ing spirit in the convention and ad
dressed the body outlining the pro
ject of inland waterways. He said,
among other things, that transporta
tion was the essential factor in the
development of commerce, and what
ever contributed to the cheapening of
traffic rates was to be commended and
was worthy of the support of the peo
ple and of Congress.
He referred to the movement in the
state of New York which had result
ed in the issuance of bonds to the ex
tent of $100,000,000 to be expended in
the re-location and enlargement of the
Erie canal, thereby affording an in
terior waterway connecting the east
ern end of the Great Lakes with the
Atlantic ocean via~ the Hudson river.
Projects That Are Proposed.
He cited the great project now in
contemplation and under survey by
the corps of engineers by which It is
proposed to connect the western end
of the Great Lakes from the interior
metropolis of Chicago with the gulf of
Mexico by the Illinois and Mississippi
rivers. He then pointed out how for
years the different states along the
Atlantic seaboard from Maine to Flori
da had advocated a continuous chain
of inland waterways for the promotion
of our coastwise trade, and among
others, referred to the proposed canal
across Cape Cod, which would give a
protected way from the city of Bos
ton and the Maine coast to New York
city, via. Long Island sound, also the
proposal to connect the Raritan river
with the Delaware river by having the
government purchase the present canal
or construct a canal by independent
roMte, thereby affording safe naviga
tion from New York city to the Dela
ware river and Philadelphia; also the
construction of a waterway from the
Delaware to the head of the Chesapeake
bay, a route for which has already
been surveyed and located by the gov
ernment, which would give an entrance
into Chesapeake bay and the cities and
territory tributary thereto; also the
project for a waterway connecting
Chesapeake bay with the ocean at
Beaufort inlet, N. C., avoiding Cape
Hatteras and Cape Lookout, the most
dangerous menaces to navigation on
the Atlantic coast; also how nature
had provided an almost continuous pro
tected route from Beaufort harbor,
North Carolina, along the entire south
ern coast to Fernandina and Jackson
ville, Fla., and also how a canal had
been projected across the peninsula of
Florida, affording the gulf cities the
advantages of safe navigation and
avoiding the straits of Florida.
To Cnt Oflt the Capes.
He pointed out that coastwise nava
gatlon between the South Atlantic and
North Atlantic ports was seriously re
stricted by the dangers of Cape Hat
teras and Diamond Shoals on the
North Carolina coast, which prohibit
ed navigation by small steamers and
particularly by barges. It must be rec
ognized, said he, that the govern
ment will not undertake at the same
time the construction of all of these
waterways in the tidewater states, but
that the most Important one should be
selected. If the projected inland
waterway connecting Chesapeake bay
with Beaufort Inlet, N. C., should be
constructed, both Cape Hatteras and
Cape Lookout would be avoided and
thus make possible the introduction of
small vessels and barges in the coast
wise trade between the North and the
South.
The association. after full discus
sion. adopted the project for a protect
ed waterway from Chesapeake bay to
Beaufort inlet as the most Important
and the one which would fee first press
ed upon the attention of Congress and
the country.
The convention adjourned subject to
the call of the executive committee.
The. visiting delegates were enter
tained during the evening by the Co
lumbia Chamber of Commerce at their
annual banquet. *
