THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1913.
PBEP LEAGUERS
T HE annual Atlanta Pro p Athletic
meet will be held Friday after
noon at Marist field. Only
three schools are entered in this
fcvent, but the athletic* that are en
tered are all well trained and some
lively events will be eeen. Every
thing about the field is In readiness.
An eight-lap track has been laid off
and a hundred yard stralght-away
The lanes are all laid for the dashes
ind hurdles have been procured al
io
The hundred-yard dash promises
to be the real thriller of the meet as
never before in a local contest have
there been so many evenly matched
men entered in this event. There
are Allen, and Lewis, of Mnrlst; Sif-
ford of G. M A.; Bedell and Parks,
pf Tech High. Every one of these
•ads have made the century in leas
than 11 seconds and Allen has a
record of 10:3-6 seconds. Owing to
this mark the odds are slightly In
favor of Allen, but If he does win It
will be by a scant few inches.
There will be plenty of competi
tion in every event with the possible
exception of the hammer throw. Fow
ler, of Marist, peems to be in a class
by himself in this event. lie has
thrown the Iron ball over 100 feet In
practice, which Is better than any
ather man in the league can do.
The entries are all In and Joe Bean,
who is staging the meet, has anounc-
ed that nearly fifty athletes will com
pete. Many of them will start In
two, three, and even four events
Bill Bedell, of Tech High looks good
Tor the highest individual point win
ner. He has all kinds of grit, and en
durance, and in the meet between
Tech High and Bo.vm High he won
three firsts and a second place which
Made his total 17 points.
Charlie Allen, of Marist, is the boy
that will no doubt give Bedell the
most trouble.
The meet will start at 2:80 p. m.

News and Notes.
The decision of the Boya High athletes
lot to enter the Prep meet Friday
dirows them out of high school circles

reason.

T SMITH
y
By W. W. Naughton
S AN FRANCISCO, May Gun-
boat Smith once again Is wdth
us, and interest in the next heat
of the great white hope free-for-all
will Increase by leaps and bounds
Smith is to meet Elongated Jess
Willard of Kansas at Coffroths
Eighth Street Arena on Saturday af
ternoon, May 17, and when these two
have settled their differences the
search for the beet pugilistic pale
face on earth will be almost over
It will only be necessary for the
winner to hook up with Luther Me*
Carty and we will have a champion
whose right there will be non* to
dispute—at least for a while.
Bluejeoket vs. Cowboy.
The semi-final In the race for
that’ll what the coming bout may be
called will be between an ex-blue
jacket and a cowboy. The fact that
a man from off the bounding blue
and a man from the cattle plains have
battled their way to the front rank
of the world's fighters shdws conclu
sively that champions are not al
ways the products of congested cities.
The old argument used to be that the
best men were to be found where
there were the most men to pick
from, but it certainly does not hold
in pugilism.
A glance at the array of white
hopes who have tried and failed dur
ing the past year shows that cham
pionship candidates are drawn from
widely separated lands and from all
walks of life. So far as the prize
ring is concerned. we have had
George Bod el, the South African
ltoer, and Bombardier Wells, the Brit
ish artilleryman, who was seized
with the ambition to shine as a ring-
man while on service in far India.
McKay Left Police Foroe.
Then there was Fred McKay, the
Winnipeg policeman, 9 who was at
tacked with the Queensberry bug
while patrolling his boat in his home
town in Canada A1 Falser, another
blasted hope, came from the farm
lands back in Iowa. It was not dif
ferent in the old years, however. The
lure of the game drew Joe Choynskl
from the candy kitchen and Jim Cor
bett from the bank Fitzsimmons
rolled up his apron and dropped his
sledge when he heard the call of the
padded mitt, and Jeffrie* deserted
the boiler foundry.
Nor must we forget Tom Bharkey,
•the g>r1de of the navy,” who u<*ed to
say in the matter of punishment or suf
fering. fighting was child's play com
pared to walking the deck barefooted
on a hot day in the Bed Sea.

In '07 and ’08, and who led in all

Paul Dickey was a wonder In his

prominently. It is a sketch that the
sport-loving theatergoers will dou

During his visit In Atlanta, Dickey

By J. W. Heisman
THENS, GA., May 9.—The Tech
team arrived here after a rath
er tiresome ride of several
hours duration. This morning I am
letting them walk about town a lit
tle to get their land legs again, but
Immediately after lunch they will be
sent to their rooms for a nap. so as to
make sure they will be feeling well
and perfectly rested by the time the
game is calk'd, which will be at 4
o’clock
Many, many times have I been to
Athens with bofh football and base
ball teams, but never have I seen
the old town so stirred up over any
thing as it seems to be to-day over
these two games of ball with Tech.
The Red and Black team has had a
most fortunate season from start to
date, and it is but natural that all
their friends should not only be
wrought up to fever heat with en
thusiasm over their fine showing, but
also that they should feel the keenest
interest over the outcome of the
four games to be played with the
Yellow Jackets. The loss of a
couple of games to the Atlantans
would leave, they fear, a rather black
mark on their bright and shining sea
son's record, while the winning of
the series would mean not alone that
this splendid record had been main
tained to the last, but the victory
would be sweeter than any other
achieved by their teajn all year simp
ly because it came over their dearest
rivals.
Town Filled With Visitors.
It looks like most every town, city
and hamlet in the State of Georgia
has sent at least one representative
up here to see these two games.
Never have I seen so many out-of-
town visitors here before, and never
have I seen so much of colors. Nat
urally. the Red and Black tinges pre
vail heavily, but here and there we
spot a bit of Gold and White, which
tells us that we are not entirely
friendless even in the very strong
hold of the enemy.
Yells? Yes, w’e have heard them
galore ever since wo landed, and the
Georgia bund as well. By the way,
this band is no slouch: it plays real
stuff, and plays it well—especially a
refrain entitled “Glory, Glory to old
Georgia,” of which it seems strange
ly fond.—about as much so as one
other hand I know of when It comes
to a composition which narrates the
autobiography of a certain “Ram
bling Wreck.”
Yes, all is excitement here. and
nerves are keyed up to the highest
tension. It appears that Sanford
Field has never before been called
upon to house the crowds that will
storm it this afternoon and to-mor
row. And one week from to-day will
witness a repetition of these scenes
at Grant Park in Atlanta, I haven't
a doubt, regardless of how the games
come out over here.
Georgia Men Confident.
Of the Georgia team's condition 1
know notiiing. Their friends and
supporters appear confident in the
extreme: from which it must be in
ferred that the team is in apple-pie
order That they can play great ball
on their own field they have demon
strated again and again this season,
and for my part l have no doubt
they will again to-day.
I am expecting to see a great col
lege baseball team in the defenders
of the Red and Black, and one that
will be well worth winning from, yet
not too great a catastrophe to lose
to.
Tech hRS everything to win in these
games, and little enough to lose aside
from one of those "it might have
been” feelings after the game. To
lose to such a team as Georgia it
will be no more nor less than every
team that haa visited Athens this
year has done, while to win would
be to be raised to a pinnacle of joy
and glory as great a a Georgia her-
I self enjoys
As for the Tech team, all I can
say is that it is in superb shape*
} There have been better teams at
I Tech. but worse teams than this have
defeated Georgia, and in Athens, too
The boys are playing better ball just
now than they have at any previous
Heisman on Job
For Hearst Papers
J. W. Heisman, the famous Tech
coach will cover the Tech-Geor-
oia games in Athens for The Geor
gian and Hearst's Sunday Ameri
can. He will describe each game
completely and his comments will
bo the very best obtainable. Ho
will follow each and every play
closely and h's expert opinion on
them will be of great interest. Mr.
Heisman writes a breezy story, yet
he never gets away from facts. He
will have another interesting story
in to-morrow's Georgian, and the
story of Saturday’s game >n The
Sunday American should be a
classic. ,
time this season, and if they happen
to hit their top stride this afternoon
they will make the sledding hard for
even so good an aggregation as
Georgia lias. Some of the games
Tech has played this year would have
pushed most any college team in the
country—notably the Clemson and
Sewanee games, and those won from
Mercer and Auburn.
Heisman Has Hop®.
It is true Georgia has the dope
all in her favor, and also has the
advantage of playing the first two
games on her home grounds, which
is always rated a distinct advantage.
However, I recall that Tech teams
of the past have had a way of play
ing the very best ball they knew how
to play when they went right over
on the Georgia campus to perform;
and I know of no reason why these
Tech boys shouldn’t do that same
thing over again.
Yes, it needs to be admitted that
in Corley and Morris Georgia has two
wonderfully clever pitchers, and the
biggest question, in my opinion, is
whether the Tech batters can do any
thing with these flingers. If they
do no more to them than other
Southern teams have done, Georgia
will have things all her own way.
The other “facer” that Tech has
to look in the eye is the extent of the
damage that the Georgia “cover-rip
pers” w ill do to Tech's twirlers. That
is a hard one, for it must be granted
that Georgia has mauled many and
many a good pitcher all over the
lot this spring.—pitchers who were,
in all probability, quite as good as
the best that Tech can put forward.
No doubt Georgia will hit “some.”
and maybe some more. Still, I am
not without hopes; they haven’t done
it yet, anyway.
They will be great games. I am
satisfied, no matter if Georgia does
win. And there will be great
crowds, and terrific excitement and
noise, and all that goes with the
biggest matches of the year.
Colleges on Good Term®.
I just want to add that I am very,
very thankful that the- two colleges

NO CAUSE FOR PROTEST.
NEW YORK, May 9. The New
