LOVE OF liZIM
CAUSED GIANTS’
DOWNFALL
By Sam Crane.
New YORK. Nov. 15.—Was
there a "yellow streak.” or sev
eral of them, developed among
Giants in the last world’s se
ries?
That is a question that was ar
gued pro and con in a recent fan
fest between several baseball fans
ana piayers at an uptown resort
~i st week where lovers of base
ball are wont to congregate to win
\ inter championships, dilate on
i lie strength of various teams, com
pare different managers, clubs and
layers, try to transform the great
national game and “chew the rag”
in general.
Strange to say, the players of
the party, two of whom partici
pated in last season's pennant
races, were the ones who were the
most Insistent that the yellow
streak materialized and lost the
Giants the gonfalon, emblematic of
i lie championship of the universe.
Snodgrass Not Blamed.
Snodgrass was not accused of
showing the tainted strain, be
itise. as one player said, “any
body is liable to muff a ball, even I
>n the easiest kind of a fly.”
Fletcher and Merkle, however, j
.;j.l not escape so easily, for their
mistakes in the last inning—the
tenth, of the eighth and deciding
mtine —were claimed to be due to
their failures to try for fly balls
that they could easily have reach
id had they not deliberately quit.
Fletcher's fault of omission was
in starting for a fly hit over his
head into short left center, and
then when by an extra effort he
could have reached the ball, he
stopped, thereby losing all chance
to catch It and also, mixed up both
Snodgrass and Murray, either of
whom might have got to the bay,
thereby causing them to cease try
ing for the catch.
Merkle, it was claimed by the
fanfesters, made no attempt at all
to get a foul fly by Speaker and on
a ball that he usually “eats up,” on
high was the fly. too. that Meyers,
who ran all the way from behind
the plate, missed reaching the ball
by inches only, and the chief is no
sprinter.
Merkle and Fletcher Guilty.
It was decided that faults of
omission, in not "sticking to the
bull." showed the yellow streak
oust decisively, and that Fletcher
and Merkle were the guilty ones.
Both Pletcher and Merkle were'
toivous; there is not the least' j
doubt of that: but nervousness does i
not necessarily brand any phi yer as I
"yellow."
What I think was the chief
cause of those players failing in the
pinch was that the money differ
ence between the winners’ and
losers’ end was so big that when the I
plays came to Merkle and Fletcher
to cinch the big end the responsibil
ity put up to them was too much,
ind they yveakened under the
strain.
I can remember that some of the
"tightest wads” among them talk- j
ed between themselves as to what
players ought to be entitled to a full
share of the world’s series receipts
and those who should get smaller
“divvys.” And, mind you, this was
going on when the season was not
half over. They were money mad,
nothing else.
Slump Broke Their Nerve.
Then when their slump came,
and they dropped from their big
lead to a paltry one of four games
nd a half, those were surely the
troublous times. The non-spenders
lightened up closer than ever;
look to trolley cars or shanks'
mare: wouldn't even buy newspa
pers: lost pound = in weight and
went around with pinched, drawn
faces. woebegone and sick at heart.
They saw all that money they
■id counted over so often gradually
thing away from them. They
aer,- shattered mentally and phys
■ally. They had lost their nerve,
'ltd wondered why they couldn't
in their games. They were play
mg their money instead of base
ball.
Now, is it any wonder, thinking
as much of money as they did
dreaming about it, in fact—tbit
vlten the time catne that they saw
-t1.500 ebbing away from each into
to pockets of the Red Sox, they
became nervous during the wot Id's
series?
It was nervous streaks, not "yel
low” ones, that cost them the
world’s championship.
"But where does the difference
■me in?” may be asked.
It’s beyond me.

Techites* Dope Shows Georgia
and Jackets Evenly Matched
By J. S. Moore, Jr.
(The Georgian’s Tech Correspondent.)
IN considering the big game to
morrow between Georgia and
Tech, there are several phases
which are for Tech and several
which are against Tech, and it is
up to the reader to pick the winner
from the dope thus known. There
ate five phases to be considered in
tile present, as well as the histori
cal part of the affair.
There is the head work or gener
alship to be considered; the
weights and charging ability of
each team; how the weight is dis
tributed; the speed of the teams as
a whole and as individuals; expe
rience of men who will be used to
carry the ball and thus do the
prime part of the work; the defen
sive abilities and lasting qualities,
and finally, the mental attitudes of
the teams before and during the
game.
For the past two years Bob Mc
hotter has been the Jonah for
Tech, and he is still with Georgia,
but it will also be remembered that
last season there was another man
on the team who, by his inspiration
alone, did as much, if not more,
than any man on the Georgia team
toward defeating Tech, and that
was "Kid” Woodruff, the gamest
and best quarterback the univer
sity has ever had. He just natural
ly knew how to get work out of
that bunch of men and could handle
“Bob" McWhorter in a manner that
made a gain every time he was run.
“Kid” knew the team, their weak
nesses, their strength and he had
their confidence.
He is gone this year and there
has been a pulling apart instead of
a pulling together of the Georgia,
bunch. Now, the question is, Can
Coach Cunningham get a man ca
pable of diagnosing the situation
and holding his head and the
heads of the entire team during the
whole game? So far he has not
been able to do so. No less than
four quarterbacks have been used
this season and a new one will run
the team tomorrow.
Hard Job For Paddock.
Paddock, an unknown quantity
and a young player, will take the
job. He has a man’s job on his
shoulders. Can he inspire confi
dence into an old team in a week?
Can he meet the tricks of Heisman
for the first time apd size up the
defense and meet it accordingly?
So much for Georgia's generalship.
Tech will have Cook calling sig
nals and running the team. He has
been at this job for two years, has
played with this team at the same
place all this season, and has the

confidence of the entire team. He
has played against Georgia for two
years and understands to a degree
Cunningham's style of play. It
stands to reason that he can run
the team in the way that it should
go. So much for Tech’s general
ship. Score one for Tech.
Non a glance at the line anil
their respective charging ability.
Start with Captain Leuhrtnann,
Mho plays left tackle and weighs
170. He is an old man and an extra
good charger. Against him we
have Henderson, a 200-pound lirst
year man. but an athlete from the
word go. At left guard Montague
will play for Tech, weighing 155.
this being his first year at college
football. He will play against Har
rell. a 190-pound man. and consid
ered a peer among - linemen of the
South. Loeb will play center,
weighing 155, and will be opposed
by Covington, who has played at
the game for years, and weighs 161.
At right tackle, for Tech. Colley,
a first-year man weighing 168, will
be used. He is a good player, but
extra light compared to Malone,
the 190-pound man whom he plays
against. Malone has played for two
years and is a very good man.
Right guard is occupied by-
Means. weighing 172, and about
the best lineman, Tech possesses.
His man is Captain Peacock,
Weigh 190. who has three year
of experience along with it.
Moore Is Light, but Good.
At right end. Moore, a 140-pound
boy just out of high school, will
oppose Parrish, an 180-pound man.
who is considered one of Georgia’s
best men. Moore is light, but will
be there with bells on.
At the other end. Hutton, weigh
ing 148, and a first year man. will
have Lis hands full in taking care
of Conklin. 155 pounds, the light
est man in the Georgia line. This
is the summary of the men on
whom will depend the opening up
of the holes for the backs' to go
through.
In the back field, Georgia will de
pend on McWhorter and Bowden,
weighing ISS and 170, respective
ly, while Tech will rely principally
on McDonald and Cook, with Thom
asson as the line bucker. Cook tips
the scale at 159, while McDonald
goes to 150. Georgia's backs will
buck, while Tech will rely on end
runs and trick plays. Thus Geor
gia, aided by her heavy line and
the individual stars in the back
field, has the advantage here.
Now as to the defensive abili
ties of the teams. Tech has a light
bunch, but they' tackle like fiends.
iD. DESHLER MS
M-CWION
FEW YEARS SCO
r T"'lil< Dixie Athletic club has
I staged what should prove a
very classy lightweight bout
for next Tuesday night. Dave
Deshler, of Boston, will swap
lunches with Clarence English,
who has given satisfaction here
several times.
Deshler about five years ago
looked to hat ea fine chance of bi -
ing champion of the 133-pounders.
He was the man who stopped the
wonderful career of Kid Goodman,
and he earned a draw with I’aekey
McFarland. But poor management
caused Deshler to be lost in the
shuffle.
He is now trying to "come back,”
and if he is half as good as lie was
five years ago he will give English
one of the merriest times the Oma
ha gent has enjoyed in many a. day.
English recently was beaten by
Ray Bronson after a hard tight.
Deshler has twice held Bronson to
a draw.

and tire quick to line up on every
play, a- many as three men tack
ling one player. Georgia may
have improved many ways, hut in
the Vanderbilt game and also in the
Alabama contest, they were way be
low in this feature, while Tech has
been slowly but surely strengthen
ing their defensive play. Tech,
therefore, scores one here.
Now, Tech and Georgia both
have their weight pretty well dis
tributed, and stand about equal
here.
Tech Team a Big Family.
Now as to the big deal. Has
Georgia, with all her weight, in
dividual star- and experience, got
the team work of the Yellow Jack
ets? Positively not! There are
absolutely no factions on the Tech
team. F.i ry body, even to the wa
ter boy, is working for the same
cause, and here again Tech scores.
Tech has lost for the past two
years, and their attitude is one of
“now is the time,” and with this
determination they will go against
the Red and Black.
It can readily be seen that Tech
and Georgia are apparently evenly
matched, and if the weather is hot
ibid dry Tech’s light men will not
feel it, while Georgia's weight will
call for rest.
