It seems that the S. P. U. bunch has

Sox Overwhelmed
In Yesterday's Game;
Even Stahl Lost Head
Boston Mogul Made Tremendous
Mistake in Putting Collins Into
Game That Was Lost. i
By John (Chief) Meyers.
Boston, mass., oct. is.—The'
Giants may hang a new decora-I
tion on Bunker Hill monument
today. If so, my idea for the design is |
a white goat with red sox, rampant on ;
a dark brow n background—the brown i
representing the taste of the Baek Bay i
inhabitants-.
The New York club is waiting, pre- !
pared for the battle of its life, and. :
unless I'm a bad medi.'ine man, the i
Giants will not have to break their way I
through the gloom tonight.
Never since the series opened have I
: lost my faith in the Giants.
Now I am almost dead certain that
: we will flash such a finish as this same
I club showed Pittsburg back in 191)3.
I'he first of the necessary three vie- I
I toi les in a row we grabbed at the Polo |
grounds yesterday afternoon.
\A e turned the trick so easily and
so impressively’ that Boston’s support
ers took on long faces for the first time.
Joe Wood is the only obstacle be
lt ween us and the championship.
All w e have to do as to beat him to-
I day.
Joe has won against us in both his
starts and. according to all laws of!
average, is just about due for a trim
ming.
Big Jeff Tesreau will save this speed
tosser. and in his two starts against the
Boston star the ’Ozark Giant has proved
himself a worthy competitor.
Best Team Won Game.
Yesterday’s was the first decisive
victory of the series. There was no
question about the best team of the
day winning.
Our win was so clean-cut thta it as
tonished many’ of our supporters. No
wonder, either, for it was the first time
we played up to our real form. That
victory did worlds to establish confi
dence and tight in our ranks.
To beat us today Boston will have to
show far better ball and far better
pitching than it. has shown us so far.
Yesterday’s victory proved a double
disaster to the Red Sox.
That first inning, when O’Brien went
all to pieces, the ntire team blew up
behind him. Every man on the club
lost his head. We had them all so far
up in the ait that we’d have beaten any
kind of pitching.
It was the first occasion of "rattles”
that the Hub outfit showed. Now we
know that we can upset them, and we’ll
do it again today. Wood or no Wood.
Stahl “Pulls a Bone.”
Jake Stahl did a foolish thing yes
terday when he sent Collins in to re-’
lieve O'Brien.
I can not explain such a move, un
less Jake was as befuddled then as he
and his men were in the previous in
nings.
Here the game was hopelessly lost—
Boston had one chance in a million for
victory—but still he wasted a godd
pitcher in the last eight innings.
Collins showed by the manner in
which he finished that he would have
been a mighty valtlable asset to have
in reserve in case Wood should have to
hang out the distress signal.
I never in all my life saw a team of
such reputed strength so thoroughly
disorganized as was Boston in the first
inning of yesterday's game.
We did not realize that we had them
on the run till O’Brien pulled that
balk.
I will say for him that it was the
beet balk I ever saw. It took the back
bone not only out of the pitcher, but
out of every man supoprting him.
McGraw grasped the situation in a
flash.
Hi tipped us immediately to use our
own judgment and to strike while the
iron was hot.
The result was live runs in no time.
After that the "Rube" could go along
Jas he pleased.
Was Cinch For the Rube.
Marquard had one of the c-.tsiest
games of the series. I knew he would |
Win just about as he pleased after thaf
first inning.
Rube was as cool as an ice berg all I
the way. Boston hit him a trill'.' liardei !
'than he is usually lilt dining I le first
four innings. But that simply made it
a ba.-eball game after .1 fashion instead
us a mtissaire. It gave our supporters
a chant - ' to see that the Giants are u
i team of class.
That catch of Snodgra's' in the fourth
| inning was as pretty a hit of fielding
las any one can ever hope to see. It
took a sure triple off Wagner and kept
1 the s. ore from assuming an exi iting
tone. Yet I am glad that the play came
1 off as it did. It was the straw that
1 broke the camel's back. It look all the
; light out of the Sox. That catch licked
them.

Georgia Will Give Vanderbilt a Hard Game, Predicts Tech Coach
iliJSOi AD,HITS TECH SHOWING SURPRISED HIM
B\ J. W. Heisman.
1 (Ccach cf the Tech Football Team)
ON Saturday Sewanee decided
to go after a century score,
just to see what on? would
look like. No doubt they did a
' lot of tunning, but as little or noth
j ing is known of the caliber of Flor
i ence college, a guess as to the
me its of the T igers’ performance
isn’t worth the rsader's time.
The Commodores tolled up an
-1 other healthy scote, and against
1 Rose Polytechnic the 50 points they
I made mean more than did their
I hundred odd against the other two
teams previously play al. While I
look for them to aeieat Georgia
| handily next Saturday. I am cn
ti ely sure that it will not be an
other track meet for the Tennes
seeans. The Red and Black will
have power, and will go some
through the line, but that Vander
bilt backfield will get around Geor
| gia’s ends, I imagine. Both teams
| are liable to do considerable for
ward passing.
Auburn Strikes Snag.
Aubum st’tick something of a
snag in Florida, but this wits no
surprise to me, for Florida played
excellent ball last fail and has re
turned almost the entire team this
year. I am advised by more than
one correspondent from the Land
of Flowers that the football team
down there is planning to make
their native heath a Land of
Thorns for all invaders and that
they are well capable of doing it.
My information is that they claim
a weight, of over 170, and with the
speed and ability of "Dummy’”
Taylor at half and Captain Buie at
quarter, I have no doubt that visit
ing teams there this fall will find
something else besides the weather
a "warm proposition.” I am ad
vised that they ho)>.' to catch Tech
napping on October 26. That they
can not do, as we are well “on to”
them, and if they beat Tech it will
be because they have the better
team and the Tech team will not
be able to help itself.
The score turned in by Georgia
against Citadel was entirely cred
itable, for the latter plays a good,
snappy, nervy game. By the ac
counts it would appear that Cit
adel stirprised the Athenians a»
much by their splendid forwaid
pass game as they did the Yellow
JaVI: ts. It is certainly a sight
worth witnessing to see the way
Martin ahd Folger, of the citadel
team, get those long, speedy passes
off.
It is clear that Mercer has re-
JzJORE money passes
over the counter for
Fatima Cigarettes than for
any other brand of cigar
ettes in America. The
eatfra-quality blend has
made them famous. Still
you get 20 Fatimas for 15c.

covered from the shock of its over
throw at the hands of Auburn and
is beginning to make better use of
the material. To score almost as
many points against Howard as
did Clemson is a feat for any Bap
tist to smile over; for Clemson,
you know, has “some football team”
this Indian summer. Mercer’s game
with Tech next Saturday in Ma
con is going to be a pippin. Mer
cer will have the edge on weight
by a good ten pounds or more.
The Clemson men frankly admit
they were surprised by Riverside
on Saturday, and the mere score
alone would seem to bear out this
unblushing admission. But if few
of the regulars were in the game
until the second half the whole
thing is largely explained. 1 don’t
fancy Clemson is going to try to
run up any big scores until it meets
the citadel and South Carolina, its
deadly state rivals. No, the Tiger
having tested his strength against
Howatd. is now going to “lay low"
for a while.
Tennessee is bearing out my
forecast of a strong team Its score
against Maryville surprised me by
its size, notwithstanding I think so
well of them. I look for the Vol
unteers to get well back on the
map again this fall, and next fall
we will again see them having a
say’ or two about things.
The Alabama-Tech Surprise.
And now what shall we say
about the teal surpiise of last Sat
urday? Alabama had the weight
edge all right, though not by as big
a margin as I had expected to see.
and they had the speed edge by big
margin, as I had expected to see,
and they had the speed edge by a
team average, 1 should say, of not
less than three-fourths of a sec
ond on the hundred. They also
had tlie age and experience handi
cap in their favor. And yet Tech
won. and by’ a very’ decisive score.
Personally, I had looked for a de
feat to the unmelodious tune of
about four touchdowns at the
hands of the Tuscaloosans, but the
file and spirit with which the Jack
ets went into the very first scrim
mage told tne in a trice that they
weren’t going to beat us that much,
anyway.
At the end of the first half they

had three points garnered, while
Tech had none. And then came
out that "come-back” stuff that
Citadel saw a week ago. and after
that it was merely a question of
itow long the quarters were as to
what the size of Tech's score would
be.
I have told the public before that
they couidnt look for much of a
tootball team, but they could ex
pect to see some mighty courage
ous fighting spirit this fall from
the Yellow Jackets.
\\ hat about their football play
ing Mell, I nearly believe they
played bteter than they know how
to play. They put forth almost
superhuman efforts', and that, cou
pled with a peculiar style or sys
tem of play that we have adopted
this year, proved “considerable
some" demoralizing to Alabama.
Team Is Lightest Ever.
With Moore,’a 140-pound fresh
man. in the game in place of a con
siderably heavier man, the average
weight of the Tech team is brought
down to 154. When it is recalled
that the next lightest team we have
ever had at Tech has been about
162 (in 1906), the reader is in a
position to understand just what
kind of a hole Tech is in this fall
for material; or, if the reader
doesn’t, any athlete does. And, by
the way, the sporting editors of
Atlanta are cordially' invited to
come out and weigh the team for
themselves any time they feel so
inclined.
1 have dwelt for a moment on
this point merely because 1 want
Tech men and Atlantans to appre
ciate that fighting Tech eleven, and
to give them credit for what they
did last Saturday. I freely say that
it was, in my opinion, the greatest
victory, considering the limita
tions, that Tech ever won. and I
am proud of the team accordingly.
Whether these featherweignts
can stand the gaff and keep up this
pace is something that remains to
be seen. To.keep them “on edge"
for a whole season of games in
which they will always be greatly
outweighted is a task I fear be
yond our powers, perhaps beyond
