IE CHANGES
IN BIG SERIES
T HAT the Yellow Jacket* have
their work mapped out for them
is demonstrated by the gruelling
practice that Is dally taking place at
fhe Tech camp. Coacn Heiaman is
giving hia men the lalt word in base
ball in an attempt that the solution
to the defeat of the wearers of the
Red and and Black might possibly be
reached before Friday’s game. How
•ver, it is a safe bet that unless th«-
unexpected happens, the series \sill
be an even break. Tech supporters
are grabbing the short end of the
bets offered by the Georgia support-
ters. and are making small bets
against odds that they will not cop
all the games as some of the Ath
ene boys are predicting
That Georgia is confident of taking
the series by a large majority Is
shown by some of the wild bets that
are coming from some of her most
ardent supporters Among these
wagers are ones that Georgia will
take the series with a total of 40
runs for the four games, and that
Tech will not make 16 hits during the
wries. This is indicative of the con
fidence of the Georgia team, and they
well have reason for being so.
Having won practically every game
played this year, all with good mar
gins and touted as “McWhorter’s
Southern Champs,” they are deter
mined to take the la»t games of the
ten son. and these too from their
hated rival, Tech.
Georgia Weak at Third.
Georgia has a bad hole to fill on
third base, caused by the ruling off
of Covington, who is a veteran of
two seasons. This means the pick
ing of a scrub to take hi* place, who
will in no way be as steady as Cov
ington, on account of inexperience
and playing on foreign ground in n
great contest. Who will be placed
on this sack has yet to be determined
but it is likely to be Holden, the
captajn of the scrubs
This will be a great point In the
favor of the Teohltes, for they will
undoubtedly lay their plays for him
and do their best to get him in the
air Unless the rest of the team \v
exceedingly well balanced, one waek
spot like this on third is apt to prove
their undoing, and Tech will have a
chance to forge ahead
Georgia’s main factor In winning
so many games is due to their knowl
edge and use of the hit and run
game They use it continually and
are able to do so on account of their
developed batters. However, the
Jackets are endeavoring to fathom
this and will no doubt have it down
In time.
In Pound, Wooten and Pitts, Tech
has a trio of fielders that are fast,
use good Judgment and *over plenty
of ground, so if the Georgia lad*
should chance to clout the hall, there
will bo able receivers waiting for it
to drop.
Tech’s real weakness seem9 to be
with the willow. They have no real
swatters but the entire team is com
posed of good steady hitters and
•how up well In the pinches Pitts,
who occupies right garden when not
on the pitching mound, leads the
batters with an average of 413, and
Captain Montague follows with an
average of .328.
Will Find Pitts Hard.
With Pitts in the box the Red and
Black aggregation will be given a
hard run for their money. Pitts' is
a southpaw who has plenty of ipeed
and control, and this coupled with
the fact that Georgia has run up
against very few aide-wheelers dur
ing the season and naturally cannot
bat one to advantage should pull
strongly in the Jackets’ favor.
Gambill and Fielder will be used
as pinch men for the pitchers and
may possibly get in for a full game.
They have not been doing much so
far this season, but luck might break
with them if given a chance.
The Techites will take all manner
of chances at whatever comes up.
for if they cannot get away with the
games at me.ady grinding there is
a possible chance of combining it
with lurk and winning out

News of the Ring Gams
I T is very evident that track and
field sports are a dead issue in
some of the prep schools in this
section of the country. On F*riday
the annual prep athletic meet will
be held on the Marlst field; In most
parts of the country such an event
would attract widespread interest
among all schools concerned and
would be looked forward to for
months, and yet right here in Fulton
County there are only three of the
six prep schools that have entered
men ina*he meet Friday.
The three schools which have not
entered the meet are Peacock Boys 1
High and Donald Fraser . Peacock
could easily have a dozen men en
tered. Boys’ High had intended to en
ter, but a disagreement between the
students and the faculty caused them
to withdraw. Donald Fraser could
have entered half a dozen athletes,
although the school Is a small one.

whole team went up In the air an!
the game wae lost.
Callahan, Marlst pitcher,
yanked out. of the box in the sdxt.i

S. S. S. Makes Your Blood Cor
puscles Unite for Mutual Pro
tection.
Half the people you meet complain
of weary muscles, stagnant brain,
jangled nerves, and a wonderful de
sire to lay down and just quit. Most
of these people have been using ner
vines that spasmodically flare up the
nerves only to die down again, as die
they must. Avoid nerve stimulants.
Bear In mind that this worn-out feel
ing is due to poor blood, to bacteria }
in the water you drink; to the mul
tiplying of destructive germs in the
blood faster than they can be over
come by the white corpuscle#; and to ( 1
what is known as auto-toxemia, that
condition where the venous or im
pure blood accumulates faster than it J
can be replaced by the red arterial ,
blood.
The medicinal value of the com
ponents of 8. S. S is relatively iust )
as vital and essential to well-bal
anced health as those of the grains,
meats, fat# and sugars of our food.
If you feel played-out, go to any /
drug store and ask for a bottle of {
S. S. S., Swift’s Sure Specific. Here '
is a remedy that gets at work in a ,
twinkling; it just naturally rushes t
right into your blood, scatters germs (
right and left, up and down and side- j
ways.
You feel better at once, not from a
stimulant, not from the action of
drugs, but from the rational effect of
a natural medicine just as active and
lust aa timely as to a man who haa
been lost in the mountains, is about
starved and comes across a settler
just cooking a savory meal of good,
honest beef. Do not neglect to get a
bottle of S. Sf S. to-day. It will (
make you feel better in just a few
minutes. It Is prepared only in the {
