( ( THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6,1907. SPORTING PAGE HERE'S A RECORD OF THE DAY’S DOINGS IN SPORTLAND Ip.™™ ATLANTA LOSTTWO Got All Men She Except Wagner and Hollenback. ; Secretary Ferrell, of the National As- aoclatlon, haa notified the Atlanta baee- ball association that ite drafts have been put through all right with two exceptions—Wagner and Hollenback. Of this pair the former was gobbled up by the Philadelphia Nationala be fore Billy Smith got to him and the lat- ter was given by lot to Omaha. Aa ia the custom when two or more clubs draft the same man, the question of the ownership ia decided by lot. And in this case Omaha had the luck. Probably this man will turn out to be a wonder. Last year Billy 8mith drafted a third passman and loat him beoauae some other club drafted him also and had luck in the gamble for him. SUTTON BEAT J. SCHAEFER Chicago.

The winner averaged 88 1-8, running nut In fifteen Innings, hla good record being due to a brilliant run of 232 In the ninth Inning. Schaefer averaged 181-5, rune of 93 and 90 saving the veteran master of the cue from being totally out classed. NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS | Poor old Tulane. Last year the New Orleans team did not score a point. Not having the moral courage to build lip a team by legitimate meth ods the college withdrew from the S. I. A. A. and proceeded to get together a team of men drawn from other colleges. But now comes the rub. Tulane wants to play L. S. U. for the state championship. “All right.” says L. S. U., “but we can not play you unless all your men are eligible under S. I. A. A. rules.” Whereupon Tulane throws up her hands and shouts “bloody murder.” For the S. I. A. A.’s “one year rule” provides that no man who has participated in intercollegiate athletics in one institution shall participate in athletics in any other S. I. A. A. institution until lie has been a student there for one collegiate yeur. (New Orleans sporting editors, note this. Some of 'em arc way off on their interpretation of this rule.) And it knocks out about ull of the Tulane stars. So there will be no game this year for the Louisiana cham pionship. nor is there likely to be until Tulane gets back in the S- A. A. New York turf writers are bewailing the fact that a 110- pound jockey is too honvy to ride races at tracks in this country; and are marvelling at the fact that one horse of unusual stam ina and ability has been able to appear in two races in one day. day. And yet racing, with all of its gambling side-lines, is al lowed in some states on the plea that racing is conducted for the improvement of the breed or horses. And yet the horses that they have produced after a couple of hundred years of careful breeding have been those that can’t carry a boy weighing over 110 at any high speed and that can’t, aa a usual thing, run more than one race in an afternoon. If the race track owners and the race track gamblers arc to get away with this “improvement of the breed" have to work a change in the style of races they run. The present tendency is all toward short races, from a half- mile up to a mile; and toward n light scale of weights. And the breeders are turning out horses that can carry a feather mighty fast for a few hundred yards. But what good can such a horse be off a race track! Abso lutely none. When his days of racing usefulness arc over the glue factory for him. Some day the people of this country will wake up to the fact that the “improvement of the breed” fairy tale is only a blind and that the gamblers and track owners arc the men who are getting the money. out of voguo when tho gridiron gamo underwent a revision at the hands of the rules committoe. Captain Parker is at the extreme left and Quarterback Newhall, who ia punting, is at the extreme right. The large portrait is of Burr, the all-American guard of last year, who is now playing tackle. Lakewood, halfback, is shown in the smaller photo at the left and Kennard, an end, ie at the right. ERWIN TO SEND SEWANEE'S BEST AGAINST THE HERMAN MACHINE Bruises Virginia Inflicted Will All Be Well By Saturday. GAME OLD THOROUGHBRED WAS IN MONEY By COLIN M'DOUGAL. New York. Nov. 8.—It Is rare there daya (or a horae to be In the money in two racea the same day. At Jamaica, October 29. Eugene Wylancl started J. F. Donohue twice. In the second race, at a mile and a sixteenth, and again In the fifth, where the route was a mile and a half. The Onondaga colt took second place In the first effort and third In the fifth race, but hie manner of finishing out In the second race was almost conclusive evidence that had he been reserved for the fifth alone he would have earned brackets. J. F. Donohue Is the first runner to try In t*o races on the same day this fall, but such Instances are not rare. The cases of Ogden and Sydney Lucaa are notable In recent turf history. The former, after two years In retirement, came back a good horse, and won twice In an afternoon, once at six furlongs and later at a mils and a sixteenth. The moat remarkable Instance of stamina In the history uf ths American turf was that of John C. Stevens' Black Marta, a long lifetime ago. In October, 1882, Black Marla won a race of four- mile heals over the Union course on Long Island, In which five heats were necessary to achieve victory. Over a heavy track, this wonderful mare won the first heat, dead-heated tie second. Famous Athlete Dies at Savannah Savannah. Ga., Nov. 6.—Joseph Black, aged 31. one of the be*t-knowtt and most popular athletes in the South, died yesterday at hfa home on St. Julian street, after an Illness of hut a few weeks. The cause of his death was consumption. TULANE WIN8. Special to The Georgian. New Orleans, La., Nov. 6.—Central of Kentucky succeeded In scoring on the Tulane football team here yester day. something that no team has done before this year, and which no team failed to do last year. The local bunch won, however, by a score of 38 to 8. Left guard of Sowanee star. 8|»eHal to The Georirlnii. Sewanee, Tenn., Nov. 6.—The game last .Saturday In which Sew’nnee de feated the University of Virginia 12 to 0, has been recorded h6re on the Moun tain ah the greatest victory»fn Sowanee football annals. The team arrlyed Tuesday from Nor folk. after a Ion*, hhrd’trlp. Bumps and bruises have crippled the team boinewhat. but the men will have a few |.days* rest before Invading the nest of the Yellow Jackets on November 9. Conch Erwin Is not worrying, as I there are no serious Injuries among his , men, ami when the schedule time ar rives he will have a bunch of stout pur- I pie Tigers ready to battle with Coach | Helsmnn'g squad. The Virginia game marked many Im- j provtMiicnts on the Sewanee team. The i back field Is as Rood ns any In the i H'»uth. Although Barrett was early In the Km no substituted at quarter by Lyne, yet during the time In which the team was under his charge the oval was steadily advanced. For aocuifcey ami length of his forward passes ho I can hardly be surpassed. Markley's ‘ interference Is always gilt edge and he Is an Invaluable mat! on the defense. Shipp, of course, starred, and once; i to the despair uf the Virginia Support- ‘crs. sailed away on a 70-yard voyuge I and came to anchor between the goal | posts. Lanier, the new man at full, j distinguished himself at the very start j when he returned the kick-off 85 yards. ! Sewanee’s defense Is Improving. Dur. ; ing the Virginia game three tithes the I purple goal lli)e was within five yards i of beltfg crossed, but beneath the i shadow of those posts the fighting Tigers curled their hacks and the ball went over. FauklInberry, the new right guard, in whom much hope has been placed, filled his purple uniform with his good 215 pounds of mountain sinew, with as much credit as anyone from Sewanee could demand. 1 Williams at left end has a sore ' shoulder, but will be ready by Saturday for tiny Tech back who tries to steal ; around his end. There will lie a serlm r • tnnge tomorrow and steady work till Friday, when the team leaves for At lanta. * About the time our petted baseball heroes make up their minds to fall from the trapeze another session will be on. It takes a whole lot of summer glory to last through the winter. Purple Players Showing Much Better On the Defensive. ATLANTA GOTFIVE Drafted Enough Men to Help Out'a Lot in 1908. With Wagner and Hollenback knock ed out of the liet of men drafted by Bill Smith, there are ftve.remaining and this number, added to the outfit left over from this year's pennant winner, will help out a lot next spring.

Coach Schencker and the member, of the Mercer Athletic committee de cided that Auburn would not prove a drawing card In the Central City, and aa Mercer only has three game, away from home, the trip to Alabama will give the football boys a chance to vl.lt one of the largest Southern college.. BOBBY ON FOOTBALL BY WILLIAM F. KIRK. Football time Is here. The gratest time of tho year. Sum. I suppose. Will lose a nose & sum will lose a ear. T HIS essay about football Is begun with a poem, I doant begin vary much of my stuff with a poem bcekauk maost peepul Is vary shy about pit. dry & poet., my leecher sed. If you must rite stuff. Robbie, my teechei- sed, rite slmpol things that come strate from the heart ,’lke grate arteries & wlch, like grate arteries. Increeses the circulation, my teechrr sed. Football Is a grate galni, perhaps the greatest galm that Is played on a gridiron In the United States, tliarc Is eleven men on eech side when the galm begins about a hundred young men wlch Is called substltoots setting on the side lines, the substltoots crawls along In the gras & prays for a chance to salv thare Alma Mater with along run down the feeld but thay doant git the chance only In the November mrgaxenes. if they do git a chance to play sum big feller on the other side kicks them In the shins, brakes thare leg & then thdre I. a chance for another xubatltoot. Among the grate football players I can think of now Is ypung Teddy Rnusevclt & my Pa. Young Teddy plays a grate galm aa a end on the Second team, he- Is feerless like his father. I know I am only on the Second team. Teddy Junyur says, .but yonder shines my star of destiny, he says. Wait till sum man above mo glu hilled In this awful struggle, he says. A I will be rite up on the top, I am sure to be a grate credit to Alma Mater, he says, like Alma Father. My Pa doesn't play football any moar, but he used to be even a grater player than President Rousevelt's son. he toald me so. When I was a young man. Bobble, my Pa sed. I was a wonder at college, when I used to git the ball A hit the line. Pa sed, the players skattered like the leeves of the Autumn, nothing cud stay my course.

All-Southern halfback who plays with Sewanee team. CLEMS0N AND GEORGIA CLASH THURSDAY; TECH GETTING READY FOR SEWANEE TEAM The Clenisnn-Georgla game at Au gusta Thursday morning promises to be a nice affair. t.'lemson will not put In her best team, but at that can probably worry Georgia some. The Ilne-up of the Athens team Is the Usual mystery, but if the same bunch that played Tech plays Clemson they ought to make a marvelously good showing. For that team has seldom If ever been beaten In Georgia for Individual ability. Practice at Tech continues briskly. If not merrily. There seems no chance that Robert and Buchanan will be back In the game for the present, and the still-hunt for the second quarterback continues stead ily. Hightower Is the first choice all right, but Coach Helsman Is doing a regular Sherlock Holmea for the other man. The Yellow Jackets are determined to make a good showing against the Sewanee team. The playere recall that Sewanee could beat Auburn only 12 to 8 and every man at Techvllle bellevee that the home team has It all over the Alabama Polys. And If the Jackets can't beat the Tigers at leaat they can make a big try. And If they play the game against Sewanee they did against Georgia they will make the Tennessee team hump »«»• to roll up a score. By COLIN M’DOUGAL. New York, Nov. 6.—The old question of raising the scale of Jockey weights Is again to the fore. It Is given added Interest Just notv by the number of fine riders who have been driven from the American turf by the low scale. During the past decade' America haa lust some of her most brilliant Jockeya through the fact that the weight scale here would not allow them to have more than an occasional mount, and the consequence has been that the riders were forced to seek thetr occu pations and fortunes In foreign climes. Among this number are Danny Ma her, the greatest rt<)er England has known since Fred Archer's day; Fred Tarek Henry Spencer, "the Iceman;” Nut Turner, Harry Lewis, Tony Ham ilton, now dead; Tommy Burns, Win nie O’Connor, and a host of other bril liant knights of the pigskin. It was not that these boys hod out lived their usefulness by any means, for they went right over to England and Europe, and all made successes. Another brilliant rider whose stays In the saddle are numbered Is Walter Mil ter. Within the past two years Miller lias taken on considerable weight until now he finds It impossible to ride light er than 102 pounds. A year or so ago he could do 90 pounds. Jack Martin, who Is as good a horseman In the sad dle as one can find throughout tho country* because of hla weight—about 110 pounds—now only gets a mount perhaps once or twice a week, scarcely enough to keep him In practice—Dave Nlcol I* another of our good ridere whose riding career Is very limited, and the earne may be said of Radtke and Knapp. 0 GATHERING PLAYERS. 0 O 0 O Manager Harry Vaughn, of the O O Birmingham club, was out looking O O over the youngatere.
