T HE annual Atlanta Prep Athletic
meet will be held Friday after
noon »t Marlwt field. Only
'ftree schools are entered In this
jrent, but the athletic* that are en
ured are all well trained and some
flvely events will be *een. Every
thing about the field i* In readiness.
An eight-lap tragic has been laid off
and a hundred yard atralght-away
The lanea are all laid for the danhes
and hurdles have been procured al-
*o
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 Mariat; Sif-
Tord of G. M. A.: Bedell and Parks,
of Tech High. Every one of these
lads have made the century in lean
than 11 seconds and Allen has a
record of 10:3-5 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, -poems to be in a class
by himself in this event. He has
thrown the iron ball 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 anouno-
ed that nearly fifty athletes will com
pete. Many of them will start in
two. three, and even four events
Bill Bodell, of Tech High looks good
for the highest individual point win
ner. He has all kinds of grit and en
durance. and In the meet between
Tech High and Boye High he won
three firsts and a aeeortd place which
made his tota] 17 points.
Fharlie 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 nteet Friday
throws them out of high school circles
for the rest of the season. Since they
have taken the matter into their own
hands and decided not to represent their
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.
* * *
A new Prep record for the hammer
throw will very likely be hung up m the
meet Friday by Fowler, of Marist. Fow
ler has had little trouble hurling the
12-pound hammer 100 feet in practice.
* * •
A tennis tournament is being arrang
ed between the winners of the Boys
High contests and the winners of the
tournament now being held at Fast
IetUe by the students of Peacock.
* * •
The tournament will be held on the
courts at Fast l^ake some time the Jai
ler part of this month and should prove
an interesting match as both schools Hie
well represented in this line of sport.
• * •
The officials have announced that the
track meet at Marist Friday will start
at 3 p. in. This seems pretty late to
•tart such an affair as the meet will
probably run about rotir hours. The
meet between Tech and Boys High
schools started at 1:30 and was not over
until 6 o’clock.
• * *
Charlie Allen, of Marist. is leading the
Prep League baiters witli .467. Armia-
tead and Spurlqpk, of Boys’ High, are
close on his heels. Parks, of Tech High,
is fourth, and Bedell, of Tech High,
is fifth.

Sifford and Babb will probably be (J. j
M. A.’s two biggest point-winners in the |
meet Friday. Sifford made a lot of
points in the field day exercises at G. j
M A. March 31. Brown and Solano art j
two other pretty good athletes, especial- I
ty in the sprints.
* * r
Pallahan. of Marist. threw just ten ;
halls in the firs; innings of the gam** |
with Bo.vs High Wednesday and fanned
the first three men to face him.. He
struck out two more in the second.

If the following quartet can keep j
up tlie good work shown in the Bo> s
High Marist game Wednesday the\ may i
be assured of a place on the all-prep !
team this year. They are Allen, of Mar

Bluejacket vs. Cowboy.
The semi-final In the race for
that’s what the coming bom may be
called will lie between an ••x-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 shows conclu
sively that champions ore not al
ways the products of congested cities.
The old argument used to be that th<
best men were to be found where
there w* r • the most men to pic’;
from, but it certainly does not hold
in pugilism.
A glance at the array of white
hopes who have tried and railed 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, wo have had
George Model, tin- South African
Boer, and Bombardier Wells, the Brit
ish • artilleryman, who was seized
with the ambition to shine as a ring-
man while t»n service in far Indii.
McKay Left Police Force.
Then there was Fred McKay, the
Winnipeg policeman, who was al
ia eked with the Qu -nsberry bug
while patrolling his b<-at in his home
town in Canada. *\1 Paizcr. 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 Choynskf
from the canny kitchen and Jim Cor
belt from the bank. Fitzsimmons
rolled up his apton and dropped his
sledge when he heard the cal! of the
padded mitt, and Jeffrie** deserted
the boiler foundry.

A 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 fora nap. so as to
make sure they will be feeling we

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 his 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 should be a
classic.
tly r»sU - d by the time the
ailed, which will be at 4
is
o’clock
Many, majjy times have I been to
Athens 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 Bed 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 Atlantan
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 lias 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 Hope.
Jt is true Georgia has the d<ype
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.
o However. T recall that Tech teams
would lenveT they fear, a rather black I of the past have had a way of play-
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 Visitor*.
It looks like mod 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 l seen so many out-of-
town visitors here before, and never
have 1 seen so much of colors. Nai
rn ally, 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
friendlcs- even iu the very strong
hold of the enemy.
Yells.’ Yes, w» have heard them
galore ever since we landed, and the
Georgia band 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 il seems strange
ly fond, about as much so as one
other band I know or 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 lias 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 the£e 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 I
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 tluy 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 be 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 has done, while to win would
be to be raised to a pinnacle of joy
and glory as great as Georgia her
self enjoys
As for the Tech team, all 1 can
say is that it D in superb shape.
There have been better teams at
Tech, but worse teams than this have
defeated Georgia and in Athens, too.
The boys are pla> Ing better ball just
now than they ha\%- at any previous
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 t’orley and Morris Georgia has two
wonderfully clever pitcheis. and the
biggest question, in my opinion, is
whether the Tech baiters can do any
thing with these flingers. If they
iio no more to them than other
Southern' teams have done, Georgia
will have things all her own way.
The other “facer” that Tech has
ro 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
i 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 donel
it yet, anyway.
They will be gnat games. 1 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*.
1 just want to add that J 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 flare 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 dub 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. 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 siand as
played.
BETTS GOES TO REDS.
DINOINNATl. May 9.—Fred Betts,
a. Cincinnati ball player, who pitched
for the Cardinals several years ago.
to-day signed a contract to play with
the Reds and left to join the'team.
Betts quit professional ball of his own
accord to become a typewriter slaes-
man.
OLLIE KIRK va. EDDIE MOY.
NEW YORK. May 9.—Eddie Moy,
the Allentown. Pa. featherweight, who
gained a good reputation in Penn
sylvania will meet Ollie Kirk, of St
Louis, here to-morrow in a ten-round

Flynn should be a tremendous card
in Atlanta. He was beating Jack John
