GEOMAN SfC®K _ LPITLD fy S VARNSWOHTH SIRENS REPORTS ARE DISTINCTLY BEARISH Athens, ga., oct. is.—The Georgia football men have buckled down in the moat deadly earnest to the task 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 teafii, revealed several defects that must be remedied before the Vanderbilt game. The most Important of these Is a lack of snap and dash that is so essential to every winning team Georgia was slow tn getting plays under way. and the showing of the team, while a great improvement over that of the previous Saturday, wins not sufficient to cause any great amount of rejoicing among the supporters and students Georgia's defense has been and still is the main trouble, and unless there Is great Improvement shown in this department by Saturday there will be nothing to the con test but Vanderbilt. Cunningham will most likely get busy this week and bolster up his defense with some new formations. Local supporters realize that to stop the onslaughts of the Commo dore back Held requires some won derful defensive tactics, as the prowess of Handage and Collins Is by no means underestimated. Hardage, naturally, is most fear ed of all. Georgia Needs Punter. Another thing that is bothering the coaches Is the absence of a good, reliable punter who can be depended upon to boot the ball out of danger None of the varsity men has 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 ' defense. Up to the present time the men have demonstrated little abil ity to down the runner when 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 fteld duel betw’een McWhorter, Georgia's best bet, and Hardage, the Commodore captain “Glass of Jelly Won Game for Me,” Is Marquard’s Wild Claim By Rube Marquard. Boston, mass., oct. 15- a jar of jelly won for me. That may sound funny, but lt'» the truth just the same. When I went down to break fa st yesterday morning there was a package watting for me. It was from my 89-year-old grandmother in Cleveland. 1 had received a letter from her Sunday, and she told me she mailed me a jar of apple jelly. 1 couldn't open the package fast enough As soon as I ripped off the cover, I stuck a spoon deep into the jar, and as I swallowed that sweet mouthful I said to myself, "Rube, old boy, this jelly -will be your mas cot today." And it sure was. Without that jelly I don’t be lieve I would have won my game, the game that has put us back In the battle and has left a smooth path to the world's championship. Yes. the jelly won that game. But I almost lost confidence in it when for five innings I wasn’t able to get a blooming thing on the bail I tried my curve and It wouldn’t curve. I tried my fast ball and it wouldn't hop. The Rube Had To Work. “1 must mix 'em up/’ I said to myself, and for five innings I never worked harder. 1 used the old think-tank, and got away with it because I out guessed the Boston batters As 1 was sitting on the bench during our turn at bat in the. last of the fifth inning. 1 thought of that jar of Jelly. Oh. if 1 could have had another spoonful of it. Was this token from my grandmother going to hoodoo me? J asked myself the question over and over again. As I went out to the box in the sixth. 1 made up my mind that I was going to get something on that ball for my own sake, for my team mates’ sake, for McGraw's sake, but most of all for my grand mother's sake. And the jelly didn't fail me. I could picture dear old grand mother in the kitchen out in Cleve- Red Sox Spilled the Beans ( all ovefc |l|| | .

The first ball I pitched in the sixth was a fast one. It was to l.ewls, and he swung on it after it had found its way into Chief Mey ers' big mitt. Then it was a curve, and It never broke better. The third ball was another fast one. and Lewis hit under it, raising a foul that the chief clutched. Then Gardner fanned on four pitched balls, whUe I struck out the mighty Stahl with three balls. The Jelly "Delivers." The jelly had mad® good in the pinch. From that inning 1 knew that Boston would never get another man acroes the plate. I had everything In the world No longer was 1 an ''sll,ooo lem on." The fans—those that only two years ago were urging, yea, pleading with McGraw that I be released, were with me. They had forgotten the past, and I forgave them. But before 1 go any further 1 want to give the same credit to my team mates that I did after I won my first game. 1 only deserve one-ninth of the praise. Where would I have been had not Snodgrass, the man who has been so unjustly panned for his unfor tunate showing in this series, made that marvelous running catch of Wagner's vicious welt in the fourth inning? And w hat if Fletcher and Doy le and Meyers and llerxog and all the other boys had not been with me? It wasn't a one-man victory, and 1 don't claim one whit more than Is coming to me. Msrquard's Arm Was Bad. My arm was not at its best yes terday The ligament in the fore arm kept Jumping out of place dur ing the first five innings. But the whole arm could have come off be fore I would have quit. if 1 never pitched another game, I was going to win this one. In the fifth the old salary earner pained me like a jumping tooth ache. As I sat on the bench in the last of th* fifth, 1 wrapped the arm THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. • • • Attendance 30,622: • : Receipts $66,654 : • NEW YORK, Oct. 15.

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 of the reserved seats were filled, white thousands of fans stood in line out side the gates. The grounds were in excellent condition, but it wqs 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 htt. McGraw and the pitchers who had been watching Engle told Marquard 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 he 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 I am sure he will win the fifty-bone bet I have wagered. 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 any 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 away the Giants had five runs and the game. Right then and there Jake Stahl did a most foolish thing. He took O’Brien out of a game that was hopelessly lost and sub stltuted Ray Collins, a pitcher on whom he was depending for an Im portant fight. Collins pitched in masterful form, but it was like shooting at the stars. The only result of this move was the ruining of two pitchers on a hopeless defeat and putting himself in an awful position if anything should happen to Wood, the one fereat star, today. Rube Marquard caught the spirit of victory from his team mates and pitched a beautiful game. He was a little unsteady in the third and fourth innings, but after that he “ straightened out and the Sox were helpless. Rube declares that during the second Inning he felt that a liga ment in his arm was working out of place and that It affected hig control. Between the fourth and fifth Innings he tvent to the bench, where Ed Mackall, the train er bound the pitching wing with ad hesive tape so as to hold the liga ment in place. After that Rube’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 is 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 the left-field fence. CUBS WIN THIRD IN ROW AND HAVE SOX ON RUN CHICAGO, Oct. 15 —The Chicago Na tionals buried the White Sox under an 8 to 1 score yesterday, winning the third straight game of the series to decide the baseball championship of Chicago. Vic tory for the Cubs today will end the se ries. Clootte attempted to stop the Cubs’ winning streak, but was relieved by Langs after five runs had been scored off him in two innings. Lange held his oppo nents in check until the ninth, when Saler 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. Cheney pitched in rare form. He held the Americans to eight hits and kept them well scattered. PROM OTERSOFOLYFfI PI C GAMES LOST TIDY SUM STOCKHOLM. SWEDEN, Oct. 15.
