BETTING FAVORS

gv W. S. Farnsworth.
»g\V YORK. Oct. s.—lt beats any-
Nj liing you ever heard of, but the
’ Red Sox are .certaiply the bet
ting favorites, right here on the stamp
ing grounds of the .Giants.,
The guys "'lto have sat around and
s( , en tiie Giants fairly romp off with the
National league pennant haven’t the
real nerve to bet on them. I honestly
briievc that if it wasn't for a sort of
ingt' -'ing patriotism the Red Sox would
llf . _■ to I favorites, right here in the
camp f their opponents.
The' re all wild over the games,
though The whole town has gond
bugs.
nr. tiie eve of the annual world's
series the demand for news is so great
that the telegraph companies are malt
ing elaborate preparations to convey
bulletins to every nook and hamlet in
. . 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 hardly a daily newspaper in
i the nintry that has not ordered the
details of the games. There is not a
hamlet of 2.D00 people that will not
have telegraphic reports as the games
proceed. At relay stations and on the
ending and receiving ends of the tel
egraph wires It is estimated 10.000 oper
ators will be required to handle the
new- officials of telegraph companies
say it is impossible to.estimate in ad
vatue "hat this will cost the out-of
town fans. It will run into an enormous
figure.
In addition to the regular news ser
r< hundreds of electric bulletin
beards have been erected in different
towns and these will show the progress
of Hi.- game, play by play. Thousands
of theaters will get reports of the
games for their matinee patrons.
At the starting points. New York and
Boston, as many writers and telegraph
operators will he employed as are re
quired at a national political conven
tion i'or 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 reagh
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.
Dozen Special Trains.
Counting the newspaper men. players,
offi'-lals and tiie few favored fans, per
haps 3.DDO people will make the jour
ney between Boston and New York
call., and to accommodate them more
than .i. dozon special trains will be run
t" the New York. New Huven and
Hartford railroad. All of this will cost
an immense amount of money, but as
the baseball fan must lutve his news

THREE GEORCdA 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 gieat. 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 fall
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 inactive 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. Thomp'aon, 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 oh the varsity teamt,.
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.

It was the ninth inning, the score

Three Red Sox in succession had
walked and the bases were densely

the plate.
Marquard paused in deop thought.
Here, gentle reader, we must

himself into the hole and it is up to
him to get himself out.
