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 'd town enthusiasts will have to de pend on the bulletin boards. shTmn '2 C ?‘ fans fear that the recent imp of the Giants will continue in the nnini « fu ries ' The ex P eits are of the * in t h at the slump is more than the usua! let-up after winning the pen- GREATEST FAIR EVER HELD IN GEORGIA —GEORGIA STATE FAIR— MACON, GEORGIA—TEN BIG DAYS—OCTOBER 15-25 NAT REISS’ BIG AGGREGATION OF SHOWS ANDi RfPING BIG MIDWAY 3 2 1 ,000 500 Big Military Brass Banos Flying Machl " BS ’ Monnp,a " B 81111 Biplßffe Coops Fancy Blue Ribbon Fowls AUTOMOBILES ON DISPLAY = DAILY RAC ES =================== . . .

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 ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.

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 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.
