Y"RK, Oct. 5. —It beats any.
thing you ever heard of. but the
f- ’ Red Sox are certainly the bet
finir favorites. right here on the stamp
ing grounds of tlie Giants.
The guys who have sat around and
s . H n tlie Giants fairly romp off with the
y. : mnai league pennant haven’t the
real ri'i’ve to bet on them. I honestly
h/i.t.- that if it wasn't for a sort of
• a ii.g patriotism the Red Sox w mild
_■ m I favorites, right here in the
- ..f iheir opponents.
Tuey'te all wild over the games,
• ii.rieb. The whole town has gone

hh the eve of the annual world’s
s.-ries the demand for news is so great
• i;a> the telegraph companies are mak
ing elaborate preparations to convey
bu'ietins to < v< ry nook and hamlet in
... fniied Slates, as well as < ’itba and
Pa natna.
Tin preparations could not have been
inoiv 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 game*. There is not a
hamlet of 2.000 people that will not
have telt graphic reports as the games
proc. ed. At relay stations and on the
sending and receiving ends of the tel
,.graph wires it is estimated 10,000 oper
ators will be required to handle the
n( . . . officials of telegraph companies
.•) it : impossible to estimate in ad- i
ranee what this will cost the out-of
n fans. It w 111 run into an enormous
figure.
In addition to the regular news ser
vices. hundreds -of electric bulletin
boards have been erected in different
towns and these will show the progress
<>f the game, play by play. Thousands
..f thee .rs will get reports of the
games for their matinee patrons.
At ’he starting points. New York and
Boston, as many writers and telegraph
operators will be employed as are re
paired at a national political conven
tion. For instance, in New York res
ervations have been made for 270 spe
cial wtiters. One hundred special wires
ate being strung into the parks. These
"ill 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
me. ilipoci wires will b< required at
nlgl.i t" handle their stories.

UTHEN Chris tlo-lumbus led the

And found a far-off land
They waved their hats and yelled
"Hooray 1"
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 flotveis gay,
But it is mighty short.
'I hey yell "Hooray!" and throw
their hats
When thev 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. 5. 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 fullbat k 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 practice proving
disastrous in that it has made him suf
fer a 1 elapse 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; Thompson, full: Paddock
and Powell, halves; Lucas and Malone,
guard?: Harrell and Ptaiock. 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

DISCONTINUED STORY.
The golden glow of a descending
autumn sun shone on the Polo
grounds.
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
tenese 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.

TODAY
CHARLESTON. S. 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 Ute visit of the
Tech men will be looked after by a
dance committee from the t'itadel. I'
is planned to entertain the visiting
players with a dance in the Citadel
gypinasium after the game.
George Butler, of Augusta, will ref
eree the contest, and Innis Brown will
umpire.
The follow Ing is the probable line-up
of the two teams:
