Whiting. UtHEN tin- schedule of the / Georgia Institute of Tech nology football team was published this year it led tight off with a game against the Citadel team at Charleston. Whereupon Tech rooters a ose and inquired, "What is this cita del. anyhow ?" We couldn’t really say for sure Most of us in Atlanta presumed that it was sort of a glorified prep school, w ith an odd name A giant e at the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association year book for 1911, however, demonstrates that the Citadel Is a member of that organization—and the S. I A A. as its name indicates, is supposed/ to be a college organization. The annual enrollment of the Citadel Is from 250 to 800. From this number of men a squad of 35 to 40 usually turns out and from this number the team must bly se lected. • * • QF last year's citadel team the following men will return: Antley, fullback; Boykin, Fol ger, Gibson, Sease and Martin, backs; Ruso, Holmes and Wallace, ends; Knapp. Stanton. McWhotter, Brunner and Woods, in the line. They are all veteran players, and Antley, Folger, Gibson and Martin are stars All four are fast and strong, with good records How these men will class with Tech's best we shall know later. The opinion in Charleston is that they will stack right up alongside the best the Yellow Jackets can offer. ♦ ♦ • epHE Citadel should pick up some good men In this year's fresh man class Some of the players who are being counted on from that organization are: Whitestone, of St. Matthews High school; Bol •t'm, of Greenwood High school, both with "reps" as backs. ScalTt and Strohecker, of the t'hn’leston High school: Mlgood, of Liberty; Willis, of Rock Hill, and Carroll, of Bennettsville Walsh and Duck ett. of the line, and Shuler and Robinson, backs, of last year’s team, were graduated in June, but the team this year should be stronger than eve . despite tills loss.

S. Farnsworth. DOWN in this part of thb good old U. S. nine fans out of ten pick the Red Sox to beat the Giant's in the world’s se ries. The writer will also wager his car fare on the Boston team, but, getting right down to cold facts and figures, the Giants seem to have an even break. Those who will back the Hub team are banking on the pitching of Joe Wood, Buck O'Brien and young Bedient. And in doing so they have overlooked the fact that not one of the trio has had the ex perience of participating in a world’s series. But let's get right doxvn to facts concerning the teams. The Giants are heavier hitters than the Red Sox and have shown themselves better run-getters. For instance, the Giant:, according to the last figures published, which was less than a week back, have made 713 runs, while the Red Sox have made but 674. At the time of the figures the Red Sox had won 91 games against 87 for the Giants and lost only one more game. Giants Better on Bases. On the bases the Giants are far superior to any club in either league. They have stolen 244 bases against 162 for the Red Sox. In the last world’s series the Giants’ base running ability did not cut much figure, for the simple reason that they did not get on the paths. Still, with their swatting ability, the Giants ought to get a great many more on the bags this time than they did against Connie Mack’s tribe. Ther4 is only one department that the Red Sox have it on the Giants, according to the official records, and that is in fielding. The Giants defense has been very shaky at times this season, and they are tied with the lowly Bqp ton Nationals in this department. On the other hand, the Red Sox are rated as second best fielders in the American league. This may ac count for the fact that the Red Sox have won more games with a xveaker hitting aggregation. Don’t for a second get the im pression by this statement that the Boston outfit are not hart! and timely hitters. They are only one point behind the Giants in team sxvatting. But the New Yorkers are far ahead of them in extra base clouts. The Giants have banged forth wallops for 461 extra bases against 431 for the McAleer clan. The Giants are far better base runners. According to the figures, the best pilfer worker on the Bos ton team is Tris Speaker. He is third in the American league. No other Hubite is listed among the first ten. On the other hand, the Giants have a monopoly on the base stealing averages in the Lynch organization. Among the first ten are Doyle, Snodgrass. Devore. Mur ray. Herzog and Becker. Pitchers Are a Problem. Right down to here the Giants surely appear to have a shade on the Red Sox. So now it is up to the pitchers. Will the Giants be able to hit as hard against Wood. O’Brien and Bedient as they have against the National league's best hurlers? That's a question only time alone xxill solve. And will the Red Sox he able to beat Mathewson. Marquard and Tesreau as they have Walsh, Ford, Gregg, Johnson and Plank? May be so and maybe not. Boston has other pitchers besides Wood. O'Brien and Bedient who are wonders Collins and Hall are both bearcats when going right, on the other hand, the Giants have no one they can rely un outside of Matty, Rube and Big Jeff. And I doubt if they will be able to bank on any pitcher but Mathewson. Marquard verily has blown. That record voyage about busted him up for the season, at least. Tesreau’s case is a problem. He may be the hero of the series and he may blow' up entirely. Matty Is Giants' Mainstay. So it looks from this angle as though McGraw will have to stake his stack on- Mathewson practical ly all by his lonesome. And Mat ty sure was a cinch for the Bos- NEWS FROM RINGSIDE John Wille, who the sporting scribes • throughout the West have christened the I "destroyer of white hopes,” owing to the I easy manner in which he has been pol- r ishing off all the (‘rack men he has been 1 meeting during the past year, has been matched to fight ten rounds with Fred Fritts, the champion of the naw, in New I York, next Monday night.
