ATHENS REPORTS
ARE DISTINCTLY
BEARISH
Athens, ga.. Oct. is.—Th?
Georgia football two have
buckled down In the moat
deadly earnest to the tack of get
ting ready for Vanderbilt and the
big game In Atlanta Saturday.
The game with Citadel Saturday,
though a walk-over for the Geor
gia team, revealed several defects
that must be remedied before the
Vanderbilt game
The most Important nf three la a
lack of enep and dash -that la so
essential to every winning team
'Georgia was slow In getting plays
under way. and the showing of the
team, while a great improvement
ewer that of the previous Saturday,
wee not sufficient to cause any
great amount of rejoicing among
the supporters and etudents
Georgia's defense has bean and
still 1a the main trouble, and unless
there la great Improvement shown
In this department by Saturday
there will he nothing to the con
tent but Vanderbilt
Cnnningham will most likely get
busy this week and bolster up his
defense with some new formations
Local supporters realize that to
etop the onslaughts of the Commo
dore back field requires some won
derful defensive tactics, as the
prowess of Hardage and Qpllina Is
by no means underestimated.
Hardage, naturally, is most fear
ed of ajl
Georgia Needs Punter.
Another thing that Is bothering
the coaches is the absence of a
good, reliable punter who can he
depended upon to boot the ball out
of danger. None of the varsity men
haa shown anything noticeable In
the kicking line thus far. although
Cunningham has had several men
working at It since the beginning of
the season.
The one redeeming feature of the
game Saturday was the splendid
tackling shown by the secondary
defente Up to the present time the
men have demonstrated little abil
ity to down the runner whan once
by the line of scrimmage, and their
efforts along this particular line
have been exceedingly feeble.
Local supporters are looking for
ward with great interest to the
back field duel between McWhorter,
Georgia's best bet, and Hardage,
the Commodore captain.

Boston Goes Baseball Mad as
Series Moves On to Its Crisis
By Billy Smith.
Fenway park, boston. Oct.
15.—Boston's baseball madness
again asserted itself today in
the frenzied cheering from the ear
ly arrivals over the advent of the
Red Sox for practice for the sev
enth game of the world’s series.
The sun dropped behind heavy
black clouds shortly after noon,
and a strong wind came up, but
possibility of rain had no effect on
the fanatics, who pushed and jos
tled their way into the grounds as
soon as the gates were opened.
At 1 o’clock the bleachers were
nearly filled and about one-third pf
the reserved seats were filled, while
thousands of fans stood in line out
side the gates.
The grounds were in excellent
condition, but it seen in prac
tice that the strong wind bothered
the outfielders in their judgment
of fly balls.
The Giants came onto the field at
12:50, and plunged into practice
work like colts, making seemingly
impossible catches and throws, and
apparently full of confidence of vic
tory today.
Another army of Giant rooters
came to Boston and plunged heav
ily on their favorites. The bet
ting quotations varied slightly, but
the average odds on the game stood
at 5 to 4 on the Red Sox for today,
and 2 to 1 on the Bostonians for
tomorrow.
Can't Figure O'Brien’s "Blow.”
The Boston fans were consider
ably shocked at the terrible lashing
handed “Buck” O’Brien yesterday
and they are still wondering what
the Giants did to wreak such havoc
In such a short period of time. The
turning point In that game was
when O’Brien made a palpable balk
to first base and allowed Larry
Doyle to walk home with a run.
Marquard pitched Engle just ex
actly the kind of a ball that he
likes to hit. McGraw and the
pitchers who had been watching
Engle told Marquara to keep the
ball low on him and that he could
never make a. hit. Instead of fol
lowing these instructions, the Rube
pitched one waist high on the in
side corner of the plate. On those
balls Engle made so many long
hits that he earned the sobriquet
of “Hack” and when hf saw Mar
quard gave him his old favorite he
came near breaking down the
fence.
I look for the victory of the Sox
today. If Wood is anywhere near
right 1 am sure he will win the
fifty-bone bet T have wage'ed.
It is almost Inconceivable that a
pitcher Who has been pitching
baseball for a number of years
could make such a mistake as to
start a throw to first base and
then stop dead in his tracks. It
showed one thing to McGraw, how
ever, and he lost no time in strik
ing while the iron was hot. Imme
diately after O’Brien made the balk
there was great activity among the
Giants. McGraw and Coach Robi
son were running here and there
and the players were tossing up
bats and getting ready for a
slaughter.
“Don’t fool around with him
now,” said McGraw. "Hit at any
thing that comes up."
McGraw had seen In an instant
that the Red Sox were rattled and
that O’Brien was more upset than
any of them. Their calm, hard
working spirit of previous days
had gone and in its stead was a
nervous anxiety over winning the
game that was to settle the world’s
championship.
By hitting at the first ball or at
:wty one that came near the plate
the Giants got to O'Brien before he
could settle down after that balk
Stahl Makes Poor Move.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The hits be
began popping around the field and
when the smoke had blown
the Giants had five runs and t ie
game.
Right then and there Jake Sum
(lid a most foolish thing.
He took O’Brien out of a game
that was hopelessly lost and sub
stituted Ray Collins, a pitcher on
whom he was depending for an im
portant fight. Collins pitched n
masterful form, but it was like
shooting at the stars.
The only result of this move wa.
the ruining of two pitchers on a
hopeless defe’at and putting him.se f
in an awful position if anvthinr
should happen to Wood, the one
great star, today.
Rube Marquard caught the .pirit
of victory from his team matesand
pitched a beautiful game. He v. is
a little unsteady in the third and
fourth innings, but after that he
straightened out and the Sox were
helpless.
Rube declares that during o
second inning he felt that a ii £d .
ment in his arm was working nut
of place and that it affected his
control. Between the fourth and
fifth innings he went to the bench
where Ed Mackall, the train ■'
bound the pitching wing with ad
hesive tape so as to hold the liga
ment in place. After that Rub< s
control was perfect and he per
formed the rather remarkable feat
of making nineteen batters pop
easy flies.
Engle Proved Surprise,
The one man who fooled Mar
quard and who Is responsible for
the only runs made by the Sox «
Clyde Engle, the utility infielder,
who batted in place of O’Brien in
the second. There were two on
bases when Engle came to the bat
and he sent them both home with a
two-bagger that bumped into ihe
left-field fence.
CUBS WIN THIRD IN ROW
AND HAVE SOX ON RUN
CHICAGO, Oct. 15,-The Chicago x».
tlonals burled the White Sox under an
8 to 1 score yesterday, the third
straight game of the series to decide ih«
baseball championship of Chicago vic
tory for the Cubs today win end the ae
ries.
Cico<te attempted to stop the Cubs’
winning streak, but was relieved by Lange
after five runs had been scored off him
In two innings. Lange held his oppo
nents In check ufitil the ninth, when Saier
pounded out his second triple, scoring two
more runs.
The American leaguers' lone tally was
made in the sixth, when Bodie drove the
ball deep into center field for three bases
and scored on Johnson s single Clieney
pitched ip rare form. He held the
Americans to eight hits and kept them
well scattered.
