Southern position this season.

second year. Joe is one of the best de
fensive players in the Georgia line. He
performs at left tackle and is a fin

master of line play.
Big Boy” Henderson —His height is
5 feet 11 inches, and he plays center.

Saturday.

at blocking. Injuries have kept him
from showing at his best during the
early part of the season, but he has
at last rounded to form and will surely
be seen in the game Saturday.
"Dave” Paddock, Left Half—His
weight is 155, and his height 5 feet 10
inches. He hails from New Jersey and
prepped at Peddie institute, where he
was captain of the team last season.
He is one of the fastest men on the
field and is an excellent defensive man.
Dave is taking a course in agriculture.
He has shown marked ability at drop
kicking.
Crump-Halfback—His weight is 155,
and his height 5 feet 9 inches. He came
to the University of Georgia from Ma
con. where he played football with the
high school team of that place. He is
a member of the sophomore class and
was a substitute on the 1911 team.
1 rump. too. has been laid up for the
past two weeks with a sprained ankle,
and has been unable to get into the
first two games. He is one of the grit
tiest players on the squad and gives
promise of developing into a star.
Conklin, End—He weights 150, and
his height is 5 feet 8 inches. He is the
fiercest tackler on the field and a de
fensive player of more than ordinary
ability. He is a senior at the universi
ty and is playing his second year with
the varsity. His playing in the Tech
game last year was great and local
supporters expect great things of him
this season.
Bowden, End— His height is 5 feet 11
inches, and his weight 170. He came
to Georgia two years ago from Locust
Grove institute, where he made a great
record as an all-round athlete. He is
in his junior year and hails from Mc-
Donough. Bowden played at half dur
ing the past two seasons, but this year
finds him holding down one of the
wing positions, where he is playing
stellar football. Bowden is one of the
fastest men on the field, and he, too,
is handling the forward pass in great
style. He was able to gel !n nut little
of the Citadel game Saturday on ac
count of slight injuries, but will be in
fit condition for the fray Saturday.
CORBETT NOW SUFFERS
FROM BASEBALL MANIA
PHILADELPHIA, PA., Oct. 16.
More progress toward complete recov
ery was made yesterday by James J.
Corbett than on any other day since he
was hurried to the Jefferson hospital
with a serious case of appendicitis and
operated upon on short notice. The big
fellow really seemed to think he was
getting enough to eat once more, and
had stopped kicking along that line.
To his visitors Corbett discussed the
world's series to the exclusion of every
other subject. When he heard that the
Giants had scored a bushel of runs in
the opening inning at the Polo grounds,
he let out a whoop that was a loud one
for a sick man. and when the final
score was told to him he expressed a
belief that his favorites would win the
'series.
BRUSH IS SICK; MISSES

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—President
John T. Brush, owner of the Giants, is
missing from the fray He is seriously
ill at his hotel here, and can not leave
his room. His physicians are much
worried about his condition. He has
never fully recovered from the shock of
the automobile accident in which his
limousine turned turtle a few weeks
ago. He attended the first two world’s
series games, but has had to remain
away since. His friends are very anx

that he will not be able to attend the
National league meeting, in which ease
he will be represented by Secretary Joe

small end of the Boston batting order
at his mercy. “Big Six” is pitching in
the form of a half dozen years back
and shows no sign of a flicker. No
runs, no hits, no errors.
SIXTH INNING.
Merkle flies to Hoper. Herzog grounds
to Wagner and is out to Stahl. Meyers
walks, with only one strike in sight. It
appears that Bedient isn’t over-anxious
to get one square over. Fletcher strikes
out. No runs, no hits, no errors.
When Hooper comes up the Boston
fans try to start a racket, but it is a
feeble attempt. Their hearts are brok
en and they seem beaten. If they win
this game now they will never get over
the surprise. The yelling dies as Hoop
er grounds a slow one to Merkle and
is out at first. Yerkes hits the second
ball for a single. Speaker, with two
strikes and three balls on him, is walk
ed, forcing Yerkes along to second.
Lewis forces Speaker at second, Fletch
er to Doyle, but Y’erkes makes third
without opposition. Then comes a play
that looks like a bone but that would
have created a series hero and made
series history if it had succeeded, for
Yerkes tries to steal home on Christy
Mathewson. Consider the brazen nerve
of it. Os course the attempt fails. As
coolly as though he were warming up
with Wilbert Robinson, Matty hurls to
Meyers and Yerkes is blocked off and
touched out. No runs, one hit, no
errors.
SEVENTH INNING.
Mathewson takes two strikes, fouls
once and then sneaks a single to cen
ter. Devore forces Mathewson at sec
ond. Bedient to Wagner. Doyle swings
terrifically, after two strikes are on
him, and skies to Wagner Devore then
shows some more snappy speed. Snod
grass grounds to Gardner and is out to
Stahl. No runs, one hit, no errors.
When Boston's half of the seventh
opens up the fans start another dem
onstration. They seem to feel that
this is the inning, if ever, that they can
break through Mathewson’s defense.
There are cheers and yelps when Gard
ner comes up, but he rewards his sup
porters with a fly-out to Snodgrass.
This puts it up to Stahl, and Jake
sneaks over a Texas leaguer. The ball
drops to the ground with Murray, Snod
grass and Fletcher all ready to get it
and none of them quite under it, for
fear of the others. This is about the
“steenth” time this has happened this
series and shows how wretchedly the
Giants play is at times. It is a boob
performance proper. Cady flies to
Fletcher. Then comes a surprise, for
instead of putting Bedient in to bat,
Jake Stahl sends in Hendricksen. He
gets two strikes and two balls before
connecting. Then he smacks one to
left for two sacks, scoring Stahl and
tieing It up. Maybe there isn’t some
noise when this happens. The Boston
fans go absolutely stark batty. They
whoop, jump, throw up hats, scream,
beat one another on the back, embrace,
dance and even roll around on the
ground. Such a demonstration was
never seen here before, the old-time
reporters say. 'Wagner is held on the
hit and dies there when Hooper flies
to Snodgrass. One run, two hits, no
errors.
EIGHTH INNING.
Os course there is no surprise in the
press box. or in the park either, when
Joe W’ood strolls to the mound for the
— T ■
Red Sox. Everybody has believed all
the afternoon tha,t Stahl would be un
easy until the Smake Kid was in again.
He opens righ up with terrific speed
and seems to be absc-.utely right again.
Murray grounds to Stahl, unassisted.
Merkle grounds to Yerkes and is out
to Stahl. Herzog, the demon hitter of
the series, tears off a single to right.
With Meyers up thereis a consulta
tion. Apparently they would like to
pass him, but they fear that McGraw
would slip in McCormick to hit in the
pinch or that Mathewson, himself a bad
man in a pinch, would put something
over, so Wo6d goes ahead on Meyers.
That proves the dope, too, for the In
dian grounds to Yerkes and is of
course out a mile to Stahl. It is a crit
ical and a trying inning and the Red
Sox showed good nerve. No runs, one
hit, no errors.
Yerkes grounds the third ball brisk
ly. it hits Mathewson’s outstretched
hands and caroms off to Herzog, who
throws Yerkes out at first. It is a
snappy play and well and luckily exe
cuted. Speaker grounds to Doyle and
is out to Merkle. Lewis retires,
Fletcher to Merkle. It is grand pitch
ing for the old master.
NINTH INNING.
In an effort to start the ninth with
something interesting. McGraw sends
in "Moose” McCormick, but for once
the grandest of pinch hitters fails and
McCormick flies to Lewis. It is a hard
hit ball, but the Sox outfielder handles
it neatly. Mathewson, hitting with
terrific force, strikes out on the first
three balls sent to him. Devore walks.
Doyle has a corking chance, but he
isn’t there and grounds to Yerkes, re
tiring a moment later at first. No runs,
no hits, no errors.
When the Giants take the field in the
lasrt of the ninth Shafer has been put
at short for New York in place of
Fletcher. Gardner opens up by flying
out to Snodgrass. Stahl doubles to
center and Red Sox pull a demonstra
tion that equals anything yet for sheer
noise. The shouting dies away, though,
when Wagner flies to Devore. Cady
has the chance of a young lifetime but
it gets him nothing but a fly-out to
Murray, ending the inning. No runs,
one hit, no errors.
TENTH INNING.
There is a silence that fairly echoes
when the second extra inning seance
starts. Snodgrass lets one go by and
then swings, netting only a grounder
to Wood. He is out to Stahl. Then
comes Red Murray and there is a feel
ing that something is about to occur.
A ball, a strike, two strikes, anothei
ball as Wood wastes one, a foul, an
other foul, the third hall. And then,
to the horror of Boston fans. Murray
doubles to the center field bleachers.
There is one soulful whoop from the
Giant rooters and then tense, nervous,
horrible silence again. Merkle is up.
swinging a bat. He likes the first ball
pitched, swings, connects and a few
seconds later is panting on second,
while Murray has scored. Herzog, at
tempting valiantly to pile up the lead,
hits three times futilely and sits down.
Meyers has another of his multitudi
nous chances to win fame and score
runs with a pinch hit, but he proves
the boob again, with a grounder to
Wood, who throws the Red Man out
to Stahl. One run, two hits, no errors.
There is more pent-up excitement on
tap when this last half of the tenth
starts than ever before was known in
a world’s series—or out of it as far as
I know. Clyde Engle is put in to bat
for Joe Wood and Clyde just naturally
delivers, with a tough liner to second.
Snodgrass drops the ball and Engle
gets safe to second on the foozle.
Hooper flies to Snodgrass. Yerkes is
walked by Matty, who seems tremen
dously worried. Speaker then comes
up and for the first time this series
shows a little of that old batting stuff
that made him famous—with a single
that scores Engle and ties up the game.
Y’erkes goes to third and Speaker to
second on the throw to the plate.
Lewis is walked on four pitched balls
and the end is in sight, for “Big Six"
is skidding. Gardner has all the ad
vantage when he comes up. The op
posing pitcher is weakening, a man is
on third and only one is out. He makes
his chance count, too. He lifts the ball
to Devore and Yerkes gallops home
with the running ruu.

NEW RULES JUST SUIT
F. YOST THIS SEASON
ANN ARBOR. MICH., Oct. 16.—Backed
by the new rules, “Hurry-Up" Yost is
going to have a big "Meechigan” football
year. The old style of play that made
the famous Michigan coach and his teams
known from one end of the continent to
the other is back for good. At least, the
exhibitions of the Wolverine football
team so far this fall make it seem that
way.
Michigan has not used any new fangled
plays in her two games and it doesn’t
look as if it were going to. Further than
that, the forward pass is about the only
play that has been worked which does not
date from way back before the rules were
revised tn 1905. Straight football, not
open plays, but the old game of hitting
the line hard and low. has been the Wolv
erine standby so far this season. Two of
the touchdowns in the M. A. C... game
came by a series of such attacks.
CENTRAL LEAGUE SURE
TO BE CUT TO 8 CLUBS
TERRE HAUTE. IND., Oct. 16.
There is a reason to believe that a new
Central league of eight clubs has been
considered with the following cities in
the circuit: Grand Rapids. South Bend,
Fort Wayne. Springfield, Dayton,
Youngstown, Canton and Erie. It is
along the northern and eastern lines of
the twelve-club circuit of the past sea
son. dropping Wheeling and Zanesville
in the southeast territory and Terre
Haute in the southwest. Akron, though
in a desirable location as to Youngs
town, Canton and Erie, is to be aban
doned by the Columbus owners, from
all accounts.

usual number of good substitutes is
one of the features of the season.
The three men who made their
first appearances Saturday against

boy who played soccer football be
fore coming to Vanderbilt; Luck, a
sophomore formerly on the reserve
team, and Shea, a product of Chris

Shea were used at half, but Luck
had to retire from the game just
after making two brilliant end runs
in succession because of a broken
thumb.
Melholland a Find!
The real find of the day, how
ever, was Melholland. He Is heavy

167. and has speed, power, dash

really remarkable, and from ob
scurity he immediately arose to the
place of a formidable contender for
one of the end positions.
