Yellow Jackets Are in Fine Shape for First Struggle of Year TECH OPENS SEASON WITH ELEVENTH CAVALRY TECH opens its football season I today at the flats when they line up against the Eleventh cavalry team from Chattanooga. A red-hot game is expected, and it is Impossible to tell which team is likely to be returned the winner, ns neither has played before this year, and. therefore, no line se cured on their ability. The Jackets will enter the game in flne shape. They will present a much stronger line-up than they first expected they would be able to put on the field. It will be several pounds heavier, too, but the way it will line up in the opening game is not by any means the final var sity line-up for the bigger games later on. Loeb May Not Play. Center Loeb may not be able to get into the game owing to an in jured foot, and Hutton will snap the hall in his place. Tackle El mer has not yet finally matriculated and he, too, will not be eligible for the first fray. coach Heisman has shifted his line about a trifle as the result of these two absentees, getting the best possible combination from the men available. Welchel and Stegall will act as the substitutes in the line posi tions. and Harris and Goebel in the back field. The cavalry boys will be heavier by several pounds than the Jack ets and just as fast. Also they have been working faithfully this fall and are said to be in grand physical shape, too, something that they lacked in past seasons. Practically every member of the team has had some kind of football experience on some team. Those who have seen them in action say that, given good condition, they would make it very interesting for every college team in the South. Will Use Forward Pass. Both teams are sure to experi ment quite a bit with the new rules. The forward pass is sure to come In for a fin ' tryout. At this game the soldier boys are said to be very adept, their fast little quar- | ter, Dezendorf, being very expert at I throwing the pigskin. ROOSEVELT WILL START MERCER-GORDON GAME' MACON. GA. Sept. 28—With the! champion Bull Moose blowing the whis- j tie, the 1912 footbail season <>f Mercer j will begin this afternoon. While <’olo-i nel Roosevelt will be in Macon only a | few hours, yet the managers have ar-j ranged for him to be at the park and , start the game. An effort was made j to postpone the game, which is only a| practice game with Gordon, but it is an . annual affair and the first game of the season, and the Gordon authorities! would not agree to a postponement.l So the students will have the privilege of seeing and hearing Colonel Roose velt and still be able to attend the game. The Gordon bunch is exceptionally ' fast for a prep school, and always; makes a good showing. And this year ; they hope stronger than ever to defeat ; Mercer. President Holmes, formerly a pro-: feasor at Mercer is exceedingly anx- i lone to defeat the Baptists, and ap-1 pears very hopeful. While there was not much material on hand at the open ing of Gordon it is onlv natural to suppose that Coach Williams has de veloped a strong machine. Dr. Stroud is still ill and confined to his room, and it is not thought that he will be able to attend the game to day and see the new men work out. This is the main object of the game— to get a line on the new men. Captain Norman has been conducting practices al] the week, and he feels sure of vic tory, but says he will not endeavor to pile up a large score. CLEMSON COACHES WILL PLAY IN PRACTICE GAME CLEMSON COLLEGE. Sept. 28. There is much new football material showing up well, but it will not be many days before a line may be had that will show whether or not Clemson is going to be near the top-notchers this season.

It seems that the Tech authori ties have been unable to secure Ponce DeLeon park this season and are to play all their games at Tech flats. The Georgia men have announced that they will never play at the flats. Local students figure that the flats are far too small to accommodate the crowd that always attends the annual Georgia-Tech gridiron battle, and that the teams will not be able to play at their best in sucn cramped quarters. varsity. Some of them are almost sure to lose out. The scrimmages are the fiercest ever seen so early in the sea son. In fact, the practice very much resembles a regular championship con test. More than ordinary interest attaches to the game that is to be played this afternoon between two picked elevens. The game Is to be played for the benefit of the John C. Calhoun chapter of the U. D. C. The fact that Coach Dobson will play With one eleven while Pat Murphy will line up with the other, will'of itself draw a large crowd. VANDERBILT OPENS WITH BETHEL COLLEGE TEAM NASHVILLE, TENN.. Sept. 28. With four of their brightest stars of last season missing, the Vanderbilt university eleven play their first game here today with Bethel college. Van derbilt's chief weakness seems to be the line, which was the strongest in the South last season. Much time has been spent on the for ward pass by the Commodores already, and it looks now as If the team will depend largely on this play and the speed of the back field to retain its rank this season. TWO MICHIGAN PLAYERS INJUREDJN SCRUB GAME ANN ARBOR. MICH., Sept, 28. Michigan's stock soared several points yesterday after the most satisfactory s< rtrnmage this year. The varsity showed up fast and strong and the score against the second squad was 47 to 0 in 40 minutes of play Two more injured were added to the hospital list, making a total of six. Heulhert, playing at quarter, had his thumb thrown out of joint and Cyril Too Much Confusion Over Ducats For Big Series, Says Runyon Bv Damon Runyon. N'EW YORK. Sept .28.—The lay m’nd will never understand why there should be any more confusion in a world’s series ticket sale than on any other occa casion. Time and again this year John T. Brush’s corps of employees at the Polo grounds has taken care of crowds as large as any that ever attended the championship games without the slightest trouble, and there will be no confusion this fall if there is no deviation from the same daily system. By placing a flat price on all seats but the upper deck of the grandstand and the boxes, which should be the only ones reserved, such needless confusion would be avoided. The balance of the seats could be disposed of just as they are now sold every day—at the gates box offices, first come first served. If a game which was to decide the-championship of the Na tional league were scheduled for today the fans would go out and take their chances on getting in without any preliminary red tape, and there would be Just as many in the seats when play commenced as at any game of the world's se ries. Certainly no man could complain if he had the same opportunity to buy his ticket as anybody else. Assuming that the ordinary police precautions are taken around the grounds, the ticket speculators would have no chance to get in their work on any considerable scale under a daily sale system, and even then they would have to confine their operations to the up per stand and the boxes if there were no other reservations .Un less the box offices were opened early in the day for an advance sale —which is no more necessary than now—the speculator would not have sufficient time to do much business. The manner in which crowds have been handled at the Polo grounds this season is the answer to the whole problem . Capacity attendance has been taken care of without complaint. A man walks up to the box office, buys his ticket at whatever price he elects, and goes on into the grounds and hunts a seat. After a certain number of people are in the grounds, the gates can be closed if necessary. There is more than enough home patronage right here in New York to fill the Brush stadium every day—patronage that is entitled to first consideration without bother ing with outside reservations. It is the home fans who support the game throughout the year, and it is certainly those fans who should have the first call on the big event. That also applies to Boston, If the local management can handle crowds as big a- those that attend the world's series through- THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1912 Quinn, of the second squad, required three stitches to be taken over his left eye after a tough mixup.

YALE EXPECTS HARD GAME WITH HOLY CROSS TEAM NEW HAVEN, CONN., Sept. 28—As a stiff game was expected from Holy- Cross this afternoon, Head Coach Ar thur Howe, of Yale, summoned his eleven gladiators in the gymnasium this morning for final instructions. Several new faces were seen among the varsity men. All the players were in fine trim, but the coaches would make no predictions on the score. BOYS HIGH ELEVEN TO BATTLE IN GAINESVILLE The eleven representing the Boys High school left this morning for Gainesville to play the Riverside Mili tary academy team.

Every time Jeff appears now there is a distinct sag in the odds against the Giants. Jeff produced one of his very best performances last Satur day against the wise old Pittsburg crew. Any man that can beat them in such handy fashion is a big leaguer. He held the .Pirates to five hits and one run, and the best feature of his work was the fact that he did not walk a single man. although he hit Max Carey with a pitched ball. The big boy has been in the hab it of walking three or four batsmen to a game, but he has gradually gained control, and Coach Wilbur Robertson believes that he will finally become as steady as any pitcher in the land.

CHANCE ALMOST SURE TO LEAVE CUBTEAM I CHICAGO. Sept. 28. —That the sharp reply of Manager Frank Chance to the temperance statements issued by Pres ident Charles W. Murphy, of the Cubs, may hasten the manager's retirement is gossip that has stirred Chicago fan dom today. Chance will return to Chi cago early next week. There will be a personal interview with Murphy. After that, the fans say, there is likelihood that Chance, who has wanted to leave the Cubs for some time, will quit. "I refuse to become involved in any personal controversy with Manager Chance," said Murphy today. "He is in a New York hospital flat on his back. Until he has personally told me what he said and that he said it after knowing exactly what I said regarding the Cubs, there is not a thing that I can or will say."

Brown was hardly marked by the encounter. MATHEWSON A HERO. NEW YORK, Sept 28.—Christy Mathewson, whose abilities as a "res cue" pitcher have saved majiy games for the New York Nationals, performed efficiently in another form of rescue work. The Giants’ noted box man, out for an evening spin in his automobile, stopped his car on Washington Heights, elbowed his way through the throng and long before a summoned ambu lance had arrived picked up two un conscious men who had been struck by another motor car, placed them, with a policeman, in his car and was off full i speed for the nearest hospital.

FINEST DENTAL WORK AT LOWEST PRICES There is no finer dental work done anywhere than by the Atlanta Dentai Parlors, yet prices here are so low as to astonish those who have been pay ing the usual dentist’s charges. This is due partly to an immense volume of practice that makes possi ble a very small profit on each indi vidual case, partly to the very fine, modern equipment and partly to the fact that this establishment wishes to make lasting friends of its patients. Thousands of pleased patients are walking, talking advertisements for the Atlanta Dental Parlors. They would not send their friends here if they had been overcharged or had been given inferior service. The entrance to this handsomest den tal establishment in the South is at 19L. Peachtree street.

The receipts of the 1911 world's championship series were the high est of any world's series to date, under the auspices of the national commission. The total attendance for the six games played was 179.- 851 and the cash receipts were $342,364.50.

At the rate of 60 and 40 per cent of a players' pool for the four games they were entitled to participate in $127,910.61. Twenty-one players on each team were eligible to a share in the world's series money, which means each of the Athletics drew down $3,654.58. while each eli gible Giant received a cheek for $2,436.39.
