Prior to last November, when \X olgast was seized with appen dicitis at Eos Angeles, he was the same as any other champion. He laid off a whole year once because lie injured his arm in a fight. Then, if he told the truth, he merely ac cepted short bouts engagements for she purpose of finding if his newly mended wing would stand the brunt of longer matches. When satisfied with this point, he took up bis championship duties' again. He fought at Intervals, but showed no undue haste in making matches He kept Freddie Welsh at arm's length for quite a while but finally agreed to meet him in the Vernon ring.

The t’lemson Tigers have been buckling down to a tough job this week trying to get into shape for the taking of the scalps of the Auburn braves on Saturday on the Auburn field. It has been some titne since the Ti gers have tested the sweets of vic tory over the Aubut nites but they are hopeful this season, t’lemson made a rather disappointing show ing against Riverside last Satur day, but so did Auburn against the University of Florida, t’lem son could have done better if the varsity had been put in at the be ginning *of the game. The varsity did not go in\ for more than one quarter. True that was the last, when the Riverside boys were rath er fagged. The work of the Tigers was not up to the standard by a long shot, especially o .< offen sive. The defensive work was fairly good. The game with Riverside showed several weak places in the line that have been receiving considerable doctoring this week. The line was off color. The players seemed .-■low and uncertain. Time and again the smaller Riverside play ers bowled over rhe heavier Ti gers and got to the man with the ball before he had got into action. The heavv new men showed that they must go through much sea . soning if they hope to hold the places that they were thought to have einched. They have the wi igltt and the grit, but they need action, at then some. Coach ’.lurphy has been telling it to them straight this week, and they will likely show a different sort of go ing on Saturday. Coach Dobson has likewise been drilling the backs in the fine points of the game, and THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.ERIDAY, OCTOBER 18. 1912. ing if he had recovered sufficiently to give his usual account of himself against Rivers and the little cham pion, through his manager, was bargaining for other matches while the Rivers affair was still unsought. He wanted a date in San Francisco for late in July, and another for August, and yet another for Sep tember. He would have got them, too. if he bad come through the Rivers match in shape to fill them. The Rivers affait laid Ad on the shelf for a while. He admitted he was in a bad way and announced that all dates were cancelled, and that he was going to his Cadillac farm to build up. The farm must have done won ders for him, If the way Jones is scouring the country for ring en gagements at present Is to be taken as an indication. Unless the program is changed, one of Wolgast's battles will be with Joe Mandot at New Orleans. To the average sporting man it seems as if Wolgast should refrain from signing any other set of arti cles until the New Orleans matter is disposed of. Joe Rivers sent Wolgast to the farm for a few months and then Mandot came along and defeated'Rivers signally. What assurance Is there that Wolgast will not require anothe lay-off after the New Orleans go? he sees marked improvement in the way the men are handling them selves. Captain Britt is still out of the game on account of a bad leg. and it now seems that he will be out all season: in fact, for keeps, since this is his senior year. It is a keep disappointment not only to his team, but to all the lovers of the game, as well as to himself, that he can not lead his men. He is one of the sturdiest of linemen, not of the dashing kind, but vays a hard, consistent work< > Gandy, another of the old i en r id one of the big fellows, has been out of the line for some time with stom ach trouble. He may get Into the game with Auburn. James, a grit ty half, has about recovered from a similar trouble and is practicing again. After the game with lite Citadel on the t’lemson campus, October 26, the varsity will be picked for the game with Carolina. SMITH IN WASHINGTON: TO GET PLAYERS THERE WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. -Manager W. A. Smith, of the Atlanta Baseball asso ciation. is here for a day or two. He has been closeted with Clark Griffith, manager ot the Washington team, and it is known that Griffith will turn some men over to Atlanta before Smith leaves In a few days Smith leaves for his home at Springfield. Ohio, where he will be for several weeks. He will then journey to Atlanta to stay until the Cracker t'eavi makes its first trip in the season of lillih PENNSY WORKS IN MORNING. PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 18.—There was a stiff session of signal drill by the University of Pennsylvania squad on Franklin field this morning prepar atory to the departure of the eleven foi Providence. R. 1., where the team plays tomorrow. TECH TEAM IN NO SHAPE FOR GAME WITHMERGER THE Tech varsity football team is far from being up to standard this week, and will face Mercer with a weaker line up than that used against Ala bama last Saturday. Right at this stage of the game hard luck has overtaken the bunch and things look kind of gloomy for Saturday. Loeb has not scrimmaged this week and will most likely be out of the game on account of ills leg and ankle. This is a heavy loss, as Loeb knows how to handle the. ball better than any man on the squad. It’s a Sad, Sad Story. Coeiey will not be able to go with the team, as he has a compulsory examination Saturday morning. This will mean a heavy loss, as he is going strong and knows the ga me. "Scrappy" Moore Is in the hos pital with tonsilitis. but will be able to play if the weather is good. Fielder Is in bad shape. His feet and legs are out of condition. in fact, the whole team is crip pled and will not be in the best or anywhere near the best condition Saturday. Tn the last scrimmage of the week held on Thursday the scrubs bucked the ball the whole length of the field and scored on the varsity and then allowed the "big team" to make only one touchdown, thus tying the score, 6 to 6.

COTTON STATES LEAGUE WILL PROBABLY GO ON JACKSON, Oct. 18.—The board of directors of the Jackson Baseball asso ciation have decided that if the Cotton States league can be reorganized for the 1913 season the Capital City will retain its franchise and play ball in accordance with whatever terms re garding salary limit the others may dictate* Th<s decision is actuated not only by a desire on the part of the directors to keep the Cotton States league in ex istence, but it is also a matter of self preservation. as the directors have per sonally assumed the outstanding in debtedness of the association, amount ing to something like $4,000, and natur ally don't wgnt to quit the game while in the hole. It is believed that the same reason will prompt directors at other towns on the circuit to stick to the league.

They will use the rooms of the young women’s department on the fourth floor of the church as club rooms, and when the church gymnasium Is put in shape they will have regular classes twice each week, on Tuesday and Friday evenings. In the meantime they are doing prelimin ary calfsthenic work in the club rooms. This season the young women will put a basket ball team in the field.
