T
n HE annual At'nntn Pr. p Athlete
meet will be held Friday after
noon at Marist field. Only
three school! are entered in this
event, but the athletic* that are en
tered are all well trained and so me
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 straight-away.
The lanes are all laid for the dashes
and hurdles have been procured al
so
The hundred-yard dash promises
to be the real thriller of tho meet hr
never before in a local contest have
there been so many evenly matched
men entered in this event. There
are Allen, and Lewis, of Mar 1st; Sif-
ford of G M. A.; Bedell and Parks,
of Tech High Every one of these
lads have made the century in less
than 11 seconds and Allen has a
record of 10:3-5 seconds. Owing to
this mark the odd* arc slightly in
favor of Allen, but if he does win it
will be by a s< ant few inches.
There will be plenty of competi
tion in every event with the possible
exception of the hammer throw. Fow
ler, of Marist, *eenr»s to be in a class,
by himself in this event. He has
thrown the iron hall over 100 feet in
practice, which is better than any
other 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
for thf highest individual point win
ner. He has all kinds of grit and en
durance, and in the meet between
Tech High and Boys 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 2:30 p. m.

The decision of the Boys High athletes
not to enter the Prep meet Friday

school they will be regarded as an in
dependent team and will have to appear
as such in the rest of their meets this
season.

throw will very likely be living up In the
meet Friday by Fowler, of Marist. Fow
ler has had little trouble hurling the
12-pound hammer 100 feet In practice.

boat Smith once again is with
us, and interest in the next heat
of the great white hope free-for-al!
will increase by leaps and bounds.
Smith Is to meet Elongated Jess
Willard of Kansas at UofTroth’s
Eighth Street Arena on Saturday af

have settled their differences the
search for the bewt pugilistic pale
face on earth will be almost over.
It will only he necessary for the
winner to hook up with Luther Mc

whose right there will he none to
dispute at least for a while.
Bluejacket vs. Cowboy.
The semi-final in the race for
that's what the coming bout may be
called will he between an ex-blue
jacket and a cowboy. The fact that
a man from off the bounding blue
and a man from the cattle plain* have
battled their way to the front rank
of the world's fighters shows conclu
sively that champions are not al
ways the product* of congested cities.
The old argument used to be that the
best men were to he found where
there were the most men to pick
from, but it certainly does not hold
in pugilism. (
\ glance nt 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 Rodel. the South African
Boer, and Bombardier Wells, the Brit
ish artilleryman, who was seised
with the ambition to shine as a ring-
man while on service in far India.
McKay Left Police Force.
Then there was Fred McKay, the
Winnipeg policeman, who was at

while patrolling his boat in his home
town in Canada A1 Falser, another
blasted hope, came from the farm
lands hack in Iowa. It was not dif
ferent in the old years, however. The
lure of the game drew Joe Choynskt
from the candy kitchen and Jim Cor

rolled up his apron and dropped his

Nor must we forget Tom Sharkey,

Paul Dickey, who played star end
on the University of Michigan eleven
in '07 and ’08. and who led in all
track events and field exercises while
at college, is now in vaudeville and
will appear at the Forsyth as the st ir
feature, with his own company the
week of May 12.
Paul Dickey was a wonder in his
time. He was selected by every ex

All American eleven. He led the
ends, 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.

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

During his visit in Atlanta. Dickey
will be entertained by the Michigan

By J. W. Heisman
A THENS, HA., May 9.—The Tech
team arrived here after a rath
er tlresonrfe 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. »o as to
make sure they will l)e feeling well
and perfectly rested by the time the
game iri (ailed, which will be at 4
o’clock
Many, many times have I been to
Athena with both 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
moat 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 Atlantan*
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 team 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 iu the very strong
hold of the enemy.
Yells? Yes. we have heard them
galore ever since we landed, and the
Georgia hand 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 band 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 nothing. 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 I 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 he well worth winning from, yet
not too great a catastrophe to lose
to.
Tech has 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 has visited Athens this
year his done, while to win would
he to be raised to a pinnacle of Joy
j and glory as great as Georgia her
self enjoys
As for the Tech team, all I can
I say is that it is in superb shape.
| There have been better teams at
j Tech, but worse team- than this have
defeated Georgia, and in Athens too.
J 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
be the very best obtainable. He
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 in The
Sunday American snould 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 Ulemson 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, 1 recall that Tech teams
of the past have had a way of play
ing the very be«t 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 dingers. 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” will 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 *V*od Terms.
I Just want to add that I am very,
very thankful that the two colleges
are at last on the very best of terms
and that there is absolutely no chance
for a Hare out of flame or any other
kind of break-out such as used to
characterize encounters between the
rival teams. There will be good or
der and tip-top sportsmanship all
around, I know; and that is the best
of any college game.
NO CAUSE FOR PROTEST.
NEW YORK. May 9.—The New
York Nationals had no undue advan
tage over the Philadelphia glub in
the games played at the Poio grounds
late in April by reason of the fact
tluat there was a hole scooped out
°whe diamond batk of the pitchers’
box. This is the finding of President
Thomas J. Lynch of the National
league, on the protest of the Phil
adelphia club. He orders that the
result of the games shall stand as
played.
