The above advertisement has been running for weeks in the German dai lies. I n less results are forthcoming soon, it ' will appear in some of the American papers. Even at this early date Germany is getting busy with her plans for the 1916 olympiad. She wants to leave nothing undone to make it one of the llm -t meetings over held, and they are trying with everything at their com n and to duplicate Sweden's recent ef forts. Kaiser AVilhem's domain boasts of a splendid track team, included in which are such cracks as Rau and Braun, sprinter and middle-distance, respec tively. and Liesehe and Passemann. high jumpers. This quartet competed it the Olympic meet, and with the ex ception of Passemilnn every one did al! that could be expected of him. These are only a few of the good ones a number of clubs in Berlin and other important cities have enrolled. Germany well remembers the great show ing of Sweden, due to the efforts of an American trainer. And Germany, among other nations, appreciates this fact that America alone has the best trainers. There fore, it is no surprise that the Pil se'ner famed country’ wants two Amer ican trainers to do for Germany what Ernie Hjertberg has already accom plished for the Svenska country. BRiTON NOT IMPRESSED BY WORLD'S SERIES DIN NEW YORK. Or . 15. —Sir.Jo’nn Ha'.- riiigton. former British minister to Abyssinia,• arrived in New York on an Am 'tiian visit just in lime to see the hr-- of the world's championship games.

However, it is not unlikely that one of Atlanta’s largest football crowds will be out for the game. Georgia has a tremendous backing in Atlanta, and Vanderbilt ie not without strong representation. Moreover, the game is of such pri mary importance that it will ap peal to sport lovers from all over the state of Georgia.

TURNS UP WITH FINE BUNCH OF RINGERS NASHVILLE, TENN.. Oct. 15.— The truth is out now as to why Sewanee cancelled a game with the S. P. U. team, of Jackson, and took on the weaker Florence Normal instead. It seems that the S. P. U. bunch has grabbed four of the football player-’ recently’ expelled from the University of Mississippi on charges of profes sionalism. S. P. U. wired Sewanee its line-up, including the names of Ca hall, Manship, Shields and Walton, all of whom were put off the University of Mississippi team a short time ago. Coach Cope, of Sewanee, dernapdeii the removal of these men from today’s game, as the S. I. A. A. rules establish ed them as ineligible under the one year limit. S. P. U. refused to play with the substitutes’, and the game was called off. JACK JOHNSON HAS HIS BROTHER PUT IN CLINK CHICAGO, Oct. 15. —Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist, has had his brother.

"I let him have lots of money and then he goes and four-Hushes around and sponges on my friends. So I'm having him taken into court for his own pro tection.

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. SEWER FOR GARY SPOILS FOX HUNTING PRESERVE HAMMOND, IND..

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.

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 ' ' "“iwMirtiiiw' 1 ' 1 i! RALSTON SHOES Find favor in the eyes of the most critical. They feel as well as they look.

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 any powers. But as long as they «an play such football as they did last Sat urday, w hether they win or lose, they will be putting up an article that will be well worth any man’s time to inspect of a Saturday aft ernoon. 9
