BETTING FAVORS
RED SOX EVEN IN
NEW
By W. S. Farnsworth.
YORK. Oct. s.—lt beats any
thing you ever heard of, but the
Red Sox are certainly the bet
ting favorites, right here on the stamp
ing grounds of the Giants.
The guys who have sat around and
seen the Giants fairly romp off with the
National league pennant haven't the
real nerve to bet on them. I honestly
believe that if it wasn’t for a sort of
ingrowing patriotism the Red Sox would
be 2 to 1 favorites, right here in the
camp of their opponents.
They're all wild over the games,
though. The whole town has gone
bugs.
On the eve of the annual world’s
series the demand for news is so great
that the telegraph Companies are mak
ing elaborate preparations to convey
bulletins to every nook and hamlet in
the United States, as well as Cuba and
Panama.
The preparations could not have been
more extensive if the country was at
war.
10.000 Operators Will Work.
There is hardly a daily newspaper in
the country that has not ordered the
details of the games. There is not a
hamlet of 2,000 people that will not
have telegraphic reports as the games
proceed. At relay stations and on the
sending and receiving ends of the tel
egraph wires it is estimated 10,000 oper
ators will be required to handle the
news. Officials of telegraph companies
say it is impossible to estimate in ad
vance what this will cost the out-of
town fans. It will run into an enormous
figure.
In addition to the regular news ser
vices, hundreds of electric bulletin
boards have been erected in different
tow ns and these will show the progress
of the game, play by play. Thousands
of theaters will get reports of the
games for their matinee patrons.
At the starting points, Njew York and
Boston, as many writers and telegraph
operators will be employed as are re
quired at a national political conven
tion. For instance, in New York res
ervations have been made for 270 spe
cial writers. One hundred special wires
are being strung into the parks. These
will go into thousands as they reach
the relay stations, and the network
begins to spread over the country like a
huge spider web. The morning news
paper men do not use the wires during
the progress of the games, but as many
more direct wires will be required at
night to handle their stories.
Dozer, Special Trains.
Counting the newspaper men. players,
officials and the few favored fans, per
haps 3,OUC people will make the jour
ney between Boston and New York
daily, and to accommodate them more
than a dozen special trains will be run
by the New York, New Haven and
Ha lford railroad. All of this will cost
an immense amount of money, but as
the baseball fan must have his news
“hot from the griddle,” he is willing
to foot the bills.
The fans of New York and Boston
"'ill pay upward of SIOO,OOO to see the
games. That, however, is but a drop
in the bucket compared with what it
" ill tax the less fortunate people liv
ing in distant localities to get the news.
If it were possible to erect a stadium
that would hold 100,000 people and the
fans throughout the country knew that
there would be a chance of getting a
seat, such an amphitheater would be
just as crowded as will be Brush sta
dium and Fenway park next week.
Tickets Are in Demand.
•Men connected with baseball in New
7 nrk for a week or more have been be
sieged with thousands of letters and tel
egrams from friends out of town for
tickets to the games. The national com.
misison has decided that the home fans
•'•'II have first chance, and the out

WHEN Chris Columbus led the

And found a far-off land
They waved their hats and yelled
“Hooray!”
And met him with a band.
He was a hero, first of men,
When they were in the mood,
And then they threw him in the pen
To show their gratitude.
The hero lives 'a fleeting day
In war, in love, in sport.
His path is strewn with flowers gay,
But it is mighty short.
They yell “Hooray!” and throw
their hats
When they are in the mood.
And then they kick him in the slats
To show their gratitude.

THREE GEORGIA STARS
HURT; WILL NOT PLAY
AGAINST CHATTANOOGA
ATHENS. GA., Oct. s.—Three of
Georgia's star performers will, in all
probability, be compelled to view the
game with the University of Chatta
nooga from the side lines. Wheatley,
the ex-Stone Mountain boy whose work
at fullback has been great, is out of the
game on account of injuries to his side.
It is thought that some ribs may be
broken. Henderson, whose knee was in
jured in the first scrimmage of the
year, has never fully regained his
strength. He has been in uniform all
week, but has not participated in any
of the scrimmages. And last, but not
least, McWhorter, the terror, has only
been able to attend one practice in the
last ten days, this one practive proving
disastrous in that it has made him suf
fer a relapse from an attack of grip.
While none of these men are actually
laid up, still Cunningham will hardly
take chances on playing them since
the Vanderbilt game is just two weeks
off.
This leaves the line-up about as fol
lows: Covington, center: Sancken,
quarter; C. Thompson, full; Paddock
and Powell, halves; Lucas and Malone
guards; Harrell and Peacock, tackles,'
and Bowden, Conklin and Parrish, ends.
All the week there has been a pretty
fight between Parris, last year's regu
lar end, and Conklin, last year's sub
end, for a place on the varsity team,
and it now looks like Conklin will start
today's game in that position.
While Georgia is confident of winning
this game, still Coach Cunningham is
taking no chances, as there is no tell
ing what Chattanooga will bring down
the mountain.

The golden glow of a descending

It was the ninth inning, the score
a tie and Rube Marquard on the
slab.
Three Red Sox in succession had
walked and the bases were densely
populated.
A mighty cheer arose from Bos
tonese throats and re-echoed hither
and fro as Tris Speaker strode to
the plate.
Marquard paused in deep thought.
Here, gentle reader, we must
cease. It was Marquard who got
himself into the hole and it is up to
him to get himself out.

TECH’S ELEVEN
TEW
CHARLESTON. S. C., Oct. s.—The
Georgia Tech team reached here
in good order last night, took
light signal practice this morning and
is ready this afternoon for a battle
with the Citadel. The betting odds
favor Tech, but there is little wagering.
The Citadel team has been working
hard all week and Coaches LeTellier
and Walsh have their men fit for the
fray. The local coaches are not over
confident; in fact, they realize that
they have a hard game.
The social side of the visit of the
Tech men will be looked after by a
dance committee from the Citadel. Il
is, planned to entertain the visiting
players with a dance in the Citadel
gymnasium after the game.
George Butler, of Augusta, will ref
eree the contest, and Innis Brown will
umpire.
The following is the probable line-up
of the two teams:
Tech. Citadel.
