THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2.1907. SPORTING PAGE DOINGS OF THE SPORTING WORLD RECORDED HERE I EDITED BY |P. ft WHITING NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS By PERCY H. WHITING. The lid comes off the Southern gridiron a Saturday. * From a culinary viewpoint it may seem odd that gridirons have lids, but what’s the odds. The fun begins Saturday, any. how, and that’s the main thing. Tech opens up her regular season with a game against Frank Blake’s Gordon Institute team. In the natural course of,events it would not seem probable that such a game would cause any worry in the Yellow Jackets’ nest. But it so happens that Frank Blake always has a good team and one which will take a lot of beating. This season Blake’s team was raided and hardly a handful of old men left as a nucleus around which to build a now team. But Blake has a happy knack of getting out a team of players some* ho>y and his preps went down to Clemson Saturday and held the South Carolina Tigers down to a single touchdown. In consequence of this notable performance on the part 6t the Cadets, Coach Ileisman is bestirring himself to get a good team ready to meet Gordon Saturday afternoon. Georgia takes on a reasonably hard game for the opener— meeting Dahlonega, alias the North Georgia Agricultural Col lege. This team is coached by Professor Johnson, a Wisconsin player. Now Wisconsin tactics Bre Something unknown in this neck of the woods and in conserpienco tho “Agriculturists” are likely to spring something pretty fancy. Dahloncga had a pretty snappy team last year and promises to have even a better one this ' year. I .-.-I « Auburn, a good old rival of Tech nnd of Georgia, has already S laved one game, defeating the Montgomery Athletic Club 24 to . Her game Saturday is against Howard College, a S. I. A. A. debutant this year, which promises to have a pretty fair team. Clemson does not have a game until next Wednesday. David son does not play again until the middle of October. The Univer sity of Alabama, a team which .s watched with interest, because it plays Georgia later in the season, plays Maryville Saturday ns an opener. Mercer has no game until October 12. Neither has Mississippi. The Mississippi A. and M. team plays its first game Wednes day, meeting the S. W. P. U. team of Clarksville, Tenn. * • North Carolina plays Washington nnd Lee Saturday. Sewanee has no game until October 10. Tennessee takes on Williamsburg College for her opening game. Just what Williamsburg College amounts to is not known and this game will not furnish much of a line of dope. Vanderbilt is one of the few big Southern teams which takes on a team of class for the opener. The Commodores play Ken tucky State nnd the game promises to be a decidedly fast work out for the Commodores. The height of Southern strenuosity is reached by Virginia. This team lias already played one tough game with Davidson. On Wednesday it meets Richmond College and on Saturday St. John’s College. Which seems to indicate that Virginia is in a hurry to get in trim. Maryville Starts Friday On Long, Troublesome Trip A 1907 RECORD-BREAKER By R. S. DICKSON, Coach. Special to Tho Georgian. Maryville, Tenn., Oct. 1.—The Mary ville College football team haa a hard schedule before It thla season. Starting from here on Friday, Octo ber 4, the flrst team met tpr Moryvlllo will be tho University of Alabama, at Tuscaloosa, Ala., on October 6; October 7, at Auburn, Ala., the Alabama Poly, technic Institute la played, and on Oc tober 8 Clemson College, at Calhoun, S. C. The team Is In good shape physically, notwithstanding the continued hot weather, which has bothered so many Southern teams this year. Maryville's system of play will be conducted along the general lines of last season, with changes natural to the experience of the season of 1906, and Increased familiarity with the "now football." Although the team Is comparatively green and untried. It Is heavy and fast for the season of the year and will be counted on to play hard, clean, sports manlike football. The game Hcptember 26 with Ameri can University showed Maryville's of fense to be fairly well developed, but as her opponents did not have the ball more than a minute (actual time), her defense was not strongly proven. This great horse. Dandelion, sired by Hamburg, beat Running Water, in a nose finish, of the Oriental handicap at the Gravesend course, and clipped a eecond off the record for the mile and a quarter. Dandelion's new record is 2:042-5. Jockey Nicol had tho mount on the Hitchcock horse and outgeneraled Miller on Run ning Water in the final drive. AMERICAN LEAGUE RACE NEARS END ATHLETICS’ GAME. Philadelphia, Oct. 2.—With Berger, the pitcher who held the Yankees to one hit a few days ago. In the bo* for Cleveland yesterday afternoon, the Ath letics shut out the Naps In handy style. Umpire O'Loughlln, whose decision cost the Athletics a victory on Monday, was hissed as he walked off the fl4ld.

Amateur Champions Clash At Ponce DeLeon Today Thl. afternoon the Bun Proof team, champion aggregation of the Commer cial League,-and the Carter & Gillespie team, winner of the pennant In the City League, will meet at Ponce DeLeon In a battle for the championship of the city. The proceeds of the game will go to the Old Woman’s Home and the winner will get a handsome pennant, which was presented to the Gordon Chapter of King's Daughters, and by them wilt be given to the winner of Wednesday's game. The pennant has for some time been on exhibition In a window of Chamberlln-Johnson-DuBose Co. On tho strength of having Ed La fltto to pitch, the City League champs are the favorites In the race, Tbs Sun Proof team, however, w/ll use Harry Harman In the box, and the members of the organisation are brim full of confldence. As the City League pitcher Is a Tech man and ns the Commercial League performer comes up from the University of Georgia for the occasion, the affair has an element of college rivalry, which adds to the interest. TRAWICK MAY OFFER CUP FOR HANDICAP TOURNAMENT The prospects that there will he an other Trawick Cup for the golfers of the Atlanta Athletic Club to play for loom bright at present, and It now seems likely that the event will be a handicap affair, Instend of being played from scratch, as heretofore. Owing to the long and serious Illness of Sam Trawick. who has offered a handsome cup annually for Atlanta golfers. It was thought that there would be no Trawick tournament this year. A friend of Mr. Trawick. who re cently returned from New York, brings the news that tho Trawick Cup will probably be put up again and that If It Is, It will be played for with handicaps. The Iden of having a handicap affair seems a good one to all local golfers. In the flrst place, the club championship event—when the A. A. C„ Adair and Arnold Club cups will be played for— will be from scratch, so there will be one big scratch event this year. For another thing the fact that three or four golfers In the club stand so tpr above the rest and one of this select few stands so far above the others that there Is little Interest for the "common or garden variety” of golfers in a big scratch event. With the Trawick and club tourna ments still ahead of local golfers then promises to be a lot of activity In the gamp during the fall. Johnson Names Jack Sheridan Newr York, Oct 2.—The umpires of the world's championship post-season baseball games between the Chicago* of the National League and whichever team wins the American pennant will be Jack Sheridan and probably Hank O'Day. Sheridan baa already n selected by Ban Johnson as .ie American League umpire, and vie reason for thinking Pulliam will Thoose O’Day as the Natloaal League official Is that Emslle has been assigned for the poet- season series In Boston and Johnstone for the St. Louis Brow ns-Cardlnals se ries. Johnston and Evans will be the St. Louts umpires, while Connolly will be Emslle's mate In Boston. DETROIT’S GAME. Washington, Oct. 2.—That redoubt able fighting spirit which characterises the Detroit Tigers scored another vie tory yesterday when Hughey Jennings' meh successfully defended their post tlon In the greatest race in the annals of baseball by downing the Washing ton club.

Nothing spectacular was uncorked In th* practice at Tech park Tuesday afternoon. Nothing was developed, In fact, but hard work. Coach Helsman had two full teams out and about a dozen men over. After the usual limbering-up work there was a long scrimmage. In which tho 'varsity plowed 'through, circled around and ran over the scrubs, show ing up In better shape than usual. Chip Robert was not on the ’varsity and fears are felt about his chances of pluming through the rest of the season.

London, Oct. 2.—As an outocme of the refusal of the New York Yacht Club to accept Sir Thomas Llpton's challenge for a race for the America's cup. It Is probable, according to The Times, that a new cup will be offered In response to suggestions of the British press for an International match under European rules of measurement. In ouch a case Sir Thomas will build a 23-meter rac ing cutter to compete. Sir Thomas sold to the Hearst News Service correspondent that there was no change In the situation regarding his challenge for the America's cup. The scrub team already beglna to show the effects of Assistant Coach Halt's training and before very long the “chopping block” aggregation will de velop Into a pretty Bhlfty bunch of players. There Is really good light material on the scrub team and some of It Is likely to develop Into 'varsity material In time. Ayers, the scrub quarter, has been playing a particular ly brilliant game, and Spaulding at center has shown up well.

Annapolis, Md„ Oct. 2.—Because of Vanderbilt’s vigorous showing* against Michigan lost yeaf, and because of the unceremonious way the Commodores treated the red eklns In the memorable game at Nashville last fall, the coming game between the Vanderbilt and navy teams Is being given a great deal of at. tention, here and elsewhere. ■ _ Annapolis football material this year Is better than ever before. Only four men of last year's star team are missing from the line-up, Spencer, Ingram, Norton and Bernard. The positions left vacant will be tilled by men who were on last year’s squad who were quite prominent In a number of the minor games played last year by the navy. With the entering class came notable pigskin chasers, who played on promi nent college and preparatory school teams last season. Practice st the Naval Academy la now on In earnest, and even with all this select lot of material Captain Douglass and the coaches are much worried, fearing that they will not have •heir team In shape to meet the strong Believe Commodores Hard er to Beat Than Har vard. teams that they are scheduled to play during thtf early season. Captain Douglass regrets that the Vanderbilt game comes so early In the season, as he feels that this Is going to be as hard a team as Harvard to- de feat. Although the navy plays four games before she meets Vanderbilt, they are not with Strang teams, and the defense will not hav* a thorough trial before she meets Vanderbilt. Last year the midshipmen were particularly strong on rushing the ball, but the de tente was hot equally as strong, and the word seems to have reached the captain and coaches that the Commo dores are about as hard as any team In the land to stop when they are under way. Never before has Captain Douglass been In such good physical condition to play the game since he has been at the academy. While at the University of Tennessee Captain Douglass made quite a reputation for himself as halfback, but soon after he entered Annapolis he was unfortunate enough to have an arm broken In a game. Dur. Ing last year this same Injury both ered him considerably In his playing. Nevertheless, with this handicap, he played a strong game and did much to lower the army colors. The trainer and coaches consider that Douglass Is In better shape this year than ever be fore, and that he will be ranked at the end of the season as one of the best backs that ever played the game. . The navy team will play four games before she meets Vanderbilt on Octo ber 12: Western Maryland University, Maryland Agricultural College. St. Johns College and Dickinson. All these games are light, with the excep tion, perhaps, of Dickinson, which team Is very uncertain this year. Unless Dickinson should put up a good fight the team will not have an opportunity of really trying out their defense be fore meeting Vanderbilt. More eyes than there are In Atlanta read these pages every day. For 10 cents you can place any want you may have before them In our want columns, and Friday and Saturday get a 40c box of Wiley's Candy, Free Pete Lister seems to be playing a nice game for Cleveland these days at flrst base.

He'll make good there, too. If he is left there long enough to get used to It, President Ebbetts, of the Brooklyn club, picks the Cubs to win the world's championship. Odd, Isn't It, that nil the National moguls pick the Cubs and all the American moguls can't see ahy- thing to It but the American League wlnnerT-whlchcver It may be? \ RYAN MANAGER FOR PRETZELS Ex-Chicago Outfielder May Be Slated For the Job.
