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. Prep League News and Notes. The decision of the Boya High athletes lot to enter the Prep meet Friday dirows them out of high school circles lor the rest of the season Since they Dave taken the matter into their own aands and decided not to represent their school they will be regarded as an in- lependent team and will have to appear is such in the rest of their meets this reason. • • • A new Prep record for the hammer throw will very likely be hung up In the fcieet Friday by Fowler, of Marist.

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.

Paul Dickey, who played star end on the University of Michigan eleven In '07 and ’08, and who led in all track events and Held exercises while at college, Is now In vaudeville and will appear at the Forsyth as the star feature, with hie own company the week of May 12. Paul Dickey was a wonder In his time. He was aelected by every ex pert who picked an All Western or All American eleven. He led the ende, and even at that had some of the greatest stars of the other teams to contend with. His work on the track was wonderful and some of his records still stand Hfs sketch In vaudeville Is called "The Come Back.” It deals with col lege life, and football figures most prominently. It is a sketch that the sport-loving theatergoers will dou bly appreciate. During his visit In Atlanta, Dickey will be entertained by the Michigan alumni who live here, and his “Frat” mates are aleo preparing to see that he does not forget his week in At lanta. — BOXING News of the Ring Game Aba Attell has released John Relsfer as his manager and has placed himself under the management of Danny Mor gan Abe and Morgan agreed on terms terday, according to a report from New York. • • * Before Morgan left 1*os Angeles he asked Tom McCarsy, the tight promote! 1 , to use Attell in a bout at vernfcn, Cal., and McCarey said he might put the ex-champion on against Johnny Dundee. • • • Billy Gibson wanted Joe Rivera and Jack Britton for the star bout at the re opening of the Madison Square Garden, but Joe Levy, Rivera' manager, could not see it.

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 Constipation Needn’t Worry Old People Hot Springs, Arkansas, Fur nishes Hot Springs Liver Buttons, a Remedy that has Proved a Boon to all who are Bothered with Sluggish Liver and Inactive Bowels.

The New York Nationals had no undue advan tage over the Philadelphia club in the games played at the Polo grounds late in April by reason of the fact that there was a hole scooped out of the diamond back of the pitchers’ box.
