THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17,1907. SPORTING PAGE FOOTBALL TEAMS PREPARING FOR SATURDAY’S GAMES ! EDITED BY IP. H.WHITING NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS WORLD’S CHAMPIONS OF 1907 A careful examination of tho Northern and Eastern exchanges fails to show that anybody in those sections of the country much worried over Cantillon's threat to make the American As sociation au outlaw league. It will be easy enough for the A. A. to carry out its threat. Any league can outlaw itself without much trouble. But it is a ques tion if the Cantillionites will not start something that they will have their troubles in bringing to completion* The public is not intensely in tereated anyway in the prospect that a league goes to the outlaws or that it comes back again. If the fans get the baseball that’s the main thing. But down here in the South the game will be given a setback if tile American Association and the Eastern League arc put in a high er class under the National Asso ciation ranking than the one they now occupy. This will give those two leagues the right to draft from the Southern, though the Southern -is practically as big n league and is in every way on a firmer and better basis than either of the malcontents. Thia question of rankings is stirring the football world, too, and local football cranks are wait ing with intense interest to know what the ruling will be in regard to Dahloncga and American Uni versity. If they are colleges Tech may lose for this year anyway Sims and Davis, two of her best football players. If they are not, then these two gridiron wonders nre Yellow Jackets in good stand ing this fall and will make the team if they are good enough— which we opine they are. The Davis question seems to be agitating several colleges in* addi tion to Tech. Auburn is sadly worried over it and is sure that Davis is not eligible. Our Auburn correspondent writes us to this ef fect. Also they are sure that Ala bama has imported threo ringers from the East, and that the ring ers are playing under assumed names. Probably another false alarm. But one thing is certain as sin— there is a world of talk about pro fessionalism in college athletics in the South this year. Maybe this is the result of an unusual amount of dirty work. Maybe—and lot’s hope this, anyway—all this talk comes be cause people are beginning to get wise to the fact that docency and amateurism in athletics is desira ble nnd profitable and beenuse they are beginning to feel a con tempt for colleges who play pro fessionals, ringers nnd fake stu dents on their teams.

Oct. 17,—Pack*)’ McFarland Is the coming lightweight wonder. In hte tight lest night against Joe Gallagan he had both th* punch and th* science, and did not allow the bout to go the limit. The light wa* a fast on* and. although Gallagan woe gome and fast, McFarland had the bet ter of the contest from the beginning. The result was that, though the go whs scheduled to be a ten-round affair, It laated but nine, and It I* to tho credit of Gallagan that he lasted that long, for McFarland sent over some telling blows, and there wo* n sting behind each wallop. Harvard * Varsity Defeats Freshies Auburn Team Is Now "Laying For” Sewanee Auburn, Ala., Oct. 17.—Tho Auburn foot bail team la now rounding Into ahap© for th© game with Wewunec in Birmingham Saturday, October 19. Since the season opened Auburn haa Ployed four game*, resulting In a com plete victory from each team, being scored on only one© by tho Montgomery Athletics. {Vhll© thor© Is aomo doubt about winning from 8awa*iee still If luck Is equally divided the result will b© more creditable to Auburn than many think. At thla time It Is still impossible to give out the name* of the men who will play In th* game. Eighteen men are fighting hard to make th© first team. They are shifted from place to placo In each afternoon's practice, but It In known that either Batson, of last year's team, or Iteavcr, of last year’s scrubs, will work at cen- tsr. They are both good men. but rather light for the position. The ends will b© filled by Wilkinson (captain). Hill and Hughes. They have had two years’ experience on the 'varsity. The guards’ place will he tilled by Motley. J,ocko. EsJinger and Pence, all of them new men. but of fairly good weight. At tackle Davis, Esllnger, Jt, and Everette will play. The two last- named are new men. who have had ex perience with th© scrubs. Catcher Charley Graham, who was on the Bhston American League re serve list, Is still playing with the Hacrainento club, of the California Htate (outlaw) League.

Oct. 17.—Coach Levene put his husky bunch of youngstors through a gruelling match against the second team Wednesday afternoon. Work was fast and snappy, but was marred by several minor Injuries to men on the Varsity. Leach, who has been at the right ex tremity', twisted his shoulder slightly, and Levene took hhn out. Loucks, quarter, and McCollum, a half, each took a severe bruise on the thigh and were allowed to rest up a hit. None of the Injuries is serious, and the full squud will continue to report for work each day. Coach Levene Is working McCollum and Leach behind the line with drop kicks and kicks from placement, and seems to be counting heavily on scoring from the field In Saturday's contest. 8o far he has refused to make any state ment as to his Ideas on the probable outcome, but merely shrugs his shouldl ers and says he hasn't given the young sters his full stock of tricks yet. The Yellow Jackets will likely meet a stronger teum than the one Georgia lost to. for a week's practice has strengthened the Volunteers wonderful^ ly nnd has added considerably to their repertoire of ©lays. And it Is likely that one or two changes will lie made. Cottrell and Cody, who are both trying "nip and tuck’* for center, are out for a day or two off account of a collision in scrimmage. Both received ugly cuts on the forehead which lmd to b« stitched up. Levene let them in for signal work, but used substitutes In th© scrimmage which followed. Wrestling Bout at Newberry Has All Earmarks of a Fake Hpeclal to The Georgina. Newberry. 8. (*., Oct. 17.—In a very one-sided wrestling bout. Ed Adamson, the "champion of the Atlantic coast." last night threw an "unknown” by the name of Jewell, who hails from Charles ton, twice, the first fall resulting In one The Detroit News says: "Critics are of the opinion that "Nig" Clarke Is the best catcher In the American League." Harry' Niles, the Browns' second baseman. Is in receipt of an ofTer of 120ft per month to play hall In Mexico the coming winter, and Jins all hut made up his mind to accept. In Washington they sprinkle crude oil on the diamond to take up the rain. It is hard on the uniforms, hut it has prevented at least three postponed games this year. The Senators’ new club house Is ab solutely fireproof. It Is built of boiler Iron, sheet iron, tin, zinc, copper, and aluminum, ami the players use asbes tos towels In the hath. minute, and the second In forty-five seconds. After the bout, Jewell announced in the Mbby of on© of the hotels that the fight was a fake; that It was agreed between the men that Adamson was to secure the first fall, Jewell the second, and the l»est man th* third. Jewell stated that he held to his part of the Agreement, but thAt Adamson, taking advantage of him, also secured the sec- ond fall. Adamson bitterly denied these allegations, and for awhile It appeared that the men would mix up.. Cooler heads prevented this, however, and no one who paid the admission fee to th© bout Inst night is any the wiser as to whether or not the match was supposed to he a prearranged, made-to-order af fair. Wrestling Is becoming quite popular In Newberry, and ulready several bouts have been arranged to he pulled off In this city at an early date. (Note, by the sporting editor. Oh, pickles!
