By Tad 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.

Bv W. W. Naughton ^AN FRANOBDO, boat A » 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 ist, third base. Spurlock, or Boys High, J short: Vrmistead. <>f Boys High, catcher, and Fox. of Boys High, pitcher.

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.

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 and perfc game 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.
