M’GRAW WILL LET
SIX OF GIANTS GO
“Jawing Jawn” Slates Few
of Old Guard For
the Can.
By SAM CRANE.
New Tork, Nov. M.-Mannger McOraw’s
positive announreiuent that the Olsnts'
team Is to be thoroughly overhauled does
not come as altogether a surprise. I or such
a renovation was known to be an absolute
neeesalty If the Giants were to retain their
' prestige and standing.
MrGraw refuted to divulge the names
of the players he Is going to let go by
either release, trade or sale.
That he folly experts to conclude several
deals at the meeting of the National
I.eagne. December 10. Is shown conclusive
ly by hit decision to defer hit departure
to Lot Angeles until after the session.
It Is. of course, a matter of speculation
as to what players will sever their con
nection with the Olsnts, but from the opin
ion I have formed by watching closely the
playing of the team the past season, there
I _i_ a. - ... .. ek. .t.... V. a I ll-»
art tlx who art on the doubtful lint.
They are Mctiann. Dnhlon, Strong,
Browne. McGlnntty and Ferguson.
Merklo Succeed# McGann.
Dan McGann Is almost sore to. go, for
Merkle, the new flrit baseman secured from
Sptingfleld, Ilia., has made a decided hit
with McGraw.
McGann. while he led all the first base-
men In the National League In hitting, hns
shown symptoms during the past two years
of slowing up. Now, there Is no player on
the team who Is thought more of personally
by McGraw than McGann. bnt ns the latter
said In hla Interview with me recently, he
has thrown sentiment to the winds and will
hereafter use the ax on his dearest friends
If the player can not come up to the fast
Standard of work called for In thla speedy
baseball age.
■ McGunn's sole fault Is alownesa. lie can
not nt down to first with Ills old speed,
and fast sprinting Is what McGraw demands
hare now .
There are many good years possibly In
•tore for McGann, but for a team that has
championship aspirations, the Giants' old
captain has fallen liehlnd the class de
manded by McGraw and the local public.
There may be a trade made for Tenney
for McGann. At any rate. Dan will figure
In aorae deal, for he should be In demaud,
as both Boston and Pittsburg are a bit shy
on Initial bag guardians.
Local fans will regret McGann's de
parture.
Now, as to Bill Dahlen. That eccentric
young old follow has a disposition that acts
as a disparagement to his work. Bill hns
played now since 1881 In big league clubs,
when he joined the Chicago club tinder
Adrian C. Anson. McGraw secured Dahlen
from Brooklyn In a trade and with 17.000
bonus. He filled a position that had l>een
very weak since George Davis Jumped to
the Chicago White Box.
Dahlen Once a Hard Worker.
Charley Babb tried to fill the position
t*fore Dahlen, but was a failure. Dnhleu
and Gilbert doubled up together from the
start, and their double piny a became fit-
moos for quickness ami accuracy, Tllll,
when he first Joined the Giants, put his
whole soul iuto bla work, and from a lag

became so Indifferent nt times that McGraw
felt called upon to reprimand him often,
nnd It was rumored at the time that Bill's
Job was In peopardy.
He promised to be good, howerer, and
was held. But Bill's work during the sea
son did not nppesl to McGraw nt nil. and
•o "Bad Bill'' la on the doubtful list If
Dahlen would only make up his inlnd to
play his game, there sre not many short-
stops that have anything on hlin except In
the way of speed. If Unhlea Is disposed
of there will be little trouble li> making a
deal for him.
Browne a Striker.
It waa Browne's bad case of sulks dor-
lymour and Iionlln. Quite n nifty

trio.
It was Bam Btrnng'*
__ _ rent lack of
Interest and Indifference during the Giants'
Inst Western trip that got him on the onta
with his manager. It Is said there were
several wordy cinahcs between them.
McGlnntty has signified bla willingness
to be transferred to 8t. Louis and he may
be accommodated. The “Iron Man" alloty
ed himself to become too fat during the
closing months of Inst season, nnd failed to
spring 'pjtcher, Jew* esn not be excelled,
but his nrtn showed signs of weakening last
year toward the last.
Ferguson has never been any too strong
with McGraw from the fact that he re
fused to Pitch according to hla manager's
Ideas. lie Is a big. atrong youngs^—
though, and wonld be snapped up to
tiary were he placed on the market.
fcGraw, of course, has players In view
and be says, too, he will have a winning
team.
I think so myaelf.

Special to The Georgian.
Oxford, Ga„ Nov. 26.—Yesterday aft.

scene of Interesting contests between
the two under.claaa and the two up
per-class teams.
The first game waa between the
sophomores and the freshmen and
ended In the acore: Sophomores. 27;
freshmen, 0. The odds were so great
ly In favor of the sophomores that the
game was almost entirely devoid of
Interest:

These games mark the close of per
haps the best football season ever
known at Emory. The games have
been excellent In every respect and
have resulted In a victory for the

the Juniors and sophomores, who tied
for second places, will play off the
tie at a later date.

LISTEN HARD AND
HEAR TIGERS GROWL
Clemson Camp Is Now a
Scene of Strenuous
Activity.
Clemson College, S. C., Nov. 28.—
There la renewed activity In the Tiger
camp since the exoneration of the Geor
gia Tech and the reinstatement of the
University of Georgia. The troubles of
these teams had cast a shadow over the
athletic sky In these parts. Clemaon
la a great believer In clean athletics
end wants the guilty punished, but her
sympathy goes out to any team that
gets Into trouble.
All faces are now turned toward the
Turkey Day contest with Tech. There
la no denying the fact that Clemaon
regards this as her chief game, the one
she Is most anxious to win, not only
because It Is the final contest, but be
cause she wants to win from the team
now coached by Mr. Helaman, who for
merly trained the Tigers. And, too. It
Is generally known that the Tech bunen
sets great store by her game with
usually fixes the standing of the two
teams for the season, but because Mr.
Helaman particularly dlallkes to be
beaten by one of hla old teams.
Professor Riggs, who has Just re
turned from Atlanta, where he attend
ed a meeting of the executive commit
tee of the 8. I. A. A., stated to the stu
dent body this morning that he felt sure
Tech had been holding back several
stunts for especial use against Clem
aon on Thanksgiving Day, and that
Clemson would huve one of the hardest
RIGGS IS
SIGNED
tattles of her life to win.
Coach Shaugrhnessey feel* hopeful of
winning: out from Tech, but he Is taking
no chaqccs. He Is' giving his men .the
very beat of attention, and is putting
on the finishing torches of the season
Captain McLaurin Is anxious that
the Tigers under hla leadership shall
administer the same kind of defeat to
Tech that the Tigers handed out the
Georgia bunch a year ago under Cap
tain Furtlck. McLaurin believes he
has Just as good a team, barring only
Furtlck, whose place no man can com
pletely fill.
Manager R. A. Reid und A. T. Beaver
are preparing to charter coaches to
take down to Atlanta the big crowd of
rooters that Is anxious to go for the
battle.
Most of the members of the team are
lr*. good shape. Coles, who has been out
of the game for* some time, is about
ready to take his usual place at left
end.
By PERCY-H. WHITING.
A good way to soften the hard feeling generated by this re-
cent athletic rumpus will be for the people of the state to turn
out in fine style and make the Tech-Clemson game in Atlanta
and the Georgia-Auburn game in Macon Thursday big successes.
Doubtless this will be ’done.
With Tech’s complete vindication in the recent investigation
her place in the hearts of Atlanta football fans is more firmly es
tablished than ever Jiefore.
Of course the love of Georgia men for Tech is not increasing
at any very rapid rate, hut all of the Georgia men who do not go
to Macon will be out with the sincere hope of seing Clemson
“lick the socks” off their beloved enemy.
Have no fear that it will not be a rip-snorting game.
Clemson certainly has the (jdge on the Yellow Jackets this
year. But that does not prove anything. The Tigers seemed to
be about two touchdowns to the bnd last yenr on comparative
scores, but the final score put them two (touchdowns to the good
instead. Maybe dope will he upset again this year.
Down in Macon the Auburn and Georgia teams will meet.
In that contest, like the one in Atlanta, the team-from-over-there
seems to have, all the best of it.
But you can’t tell.
If the ,Red and Black players will make as game a showing as
they did against Sewance it will be far from a cinch for the Au-
burnites.
However, it turns out ft clean team will face a clean team,
and it will‘be a battle for blood; among sportsmen and gentlemen.
With the Thanksgiving Day games out of the way a return
of interest in baseball may be expected.
The next big event on our program will be the annuAl meet
ing of the Southern League.
All of the old officers will doubtless be elected, the surplus
coin split up as usual, all the protests withdrawn, the pennant
awarded to Atlanta and the usual formnlitics gone through with.
The. only doings out of the regnlai* run will be the considera
tion of the application of‘Mobile for admission to the league.
Doubtless this will be acted upon favorably.
There will presumably be the usual big banquet and a gen
eral jollification among the baseball men. And that will end it
until the spring meeting. Where that event will be pulled off
will be a matter decided at the meeting here.
TWO FEATHERWEIGHTS
ACCEPT CHALLENGE
Atlanta, Go., Nov. 26, 1907.
Sporting Editor of The Georgian:
I will accept challenge In your paper
of November 20, Issued by Eddie
Hayes, who claims featherweight
championship of the South, though I
think he has little claim on it. I will
thank you In advance for the use of
your page In my acceptance.
Yours truly,

half.
This will be a weird backfield, but
a strong one. Davis, Robert and Fltx-
aimmnnn combine to form a new lay
out, but It ought to do aa good work
advancing the ball aa any that has
been uaed thla year. Luck goes Into
the line where hla weight will be of
service and where the fact that his
carry the ball
Johnson will probably not start In
the game, as It will be Coach Helsman’a
policy to start the cripples and get
what service he can nut of them. Then
the fresh men will have to go In and
stick It out to the finish.
Tuesday afternoon will come the last
hard practice, of the season. The scrubs
and the 'varsity will engage In one of
their genuine old eatch-ua-cateh-can
exhibitions.
And that ends fhe hard work for the
scrubs for the aeaaon.
Wednesday there will be only light
signal work at Tech park and Thura
day afternoon comes the big event.
The Tech-Clemsan game will be
played at Tonce DeLeon and will be
called at 2:20.
The officials will be A. A. Johnson
(Wisconsin), now professor of agricul
ture at Dahlonega; Harris Cope (Se-
wanee), and probably Vemer Moore
(Georgia).,
One of the changes In the Boston Nn-
tlonals Is a thorough renovating of the
catching department. Needham and
Brown are slated for release. Ball, the
New England league receiver, looked
so good this fall that he was tendered
a contract and has .-dread ■ signed.

R. M. Riggs, outfielder, formerly of
Syracuse, has been signed by Billy
Smith for his team of S908.
Rlgga will be remembered by all
genuine fans as the stout young chap
who worked out at Piedmont Park In
the spring with the New York and
Atlanta players.
His fancy fielding, good throwing,
lusty hitting and good disposition at
tracted the attention if Clark Griffith
nnd he got a lot of favorable notices
from the sporting experts with the
Highlanders.
Riggs played at Syracuse under a
nnn-reaerve contract last season and
was free at the end of the season. He
likes Atlanta and came back here as
soon as the season ended and went to
work. Tuesday he closed with Billy
Smith for next season.
Bill was not especially worried about
his outfield, with Manning, Winter!
and Becker already clamped down. But
being a good general, he knows the
vulue of a atrong reserve, and he has
signed Riggs for a try-out. That means
that the outfielders will have to hustle
for their Jobs.
