I 'll anil Georgia engage this tfternoori in the third battle of iht four-game series between Tib* ivMi colleger The Yellow Jack et- upset til dope during the first tw«» games by winning both, when It w t » almost settled, at least it was by . ,{ , support< i s. that Te< h would not < veil have a look-in and that (Georgia would tally as many runs In one inning as Tech would during the entire series. Well, it happened that Twh added up nine runs to their opponents* seven, and again previous dope WR.8 knocked sky-high. It has been stated that overconfi dence was what upset the Georgia team. Hut it was really fight that did it. Tech Journeyed to Athens with light on their mind, in their v* ins and in their uttered words. They started off with a dash, and had their opponents outclassed in "pep.” It w ts a rase of surprise, and the Red and I Hack warriors were not used to having this uncorked on them, for no previous team had been able to get the Jump on them. The Jackets will attempt the same method this afternoon when they again fare the same team on Grant Field at 3:30 o’clock. Harris (’ope, former Sewanee coach, will hold the indicator, and it is ex pected that he will meet with better l’avor by all than the plan of having two players, as was experienced dur ing the first games. Tech It Out to Win. Tt might be said that the Tech play ers are going into the game to win, but the Athens boys will, too, go into to win, and the result will be a great battle, from the start. Kubanka will be on the mound this afternoon and will probably be faced by Corley. Both are too well known to followers of baseball to have their line points told. Pitts, the Jacket southpaw, will he in the box to-morrow and will be opposed by Morris. The Georgian* were unsuccessful in their struggle against Pitts and were unable to hit Jiin freely. He kept their hits well scattered and at all times was mas ter of the game. A typical college crowd will be on hand for the game with their gay col ors, pretty feminine rooters and yell ing “.studes." The entire rooting de partment of the local college has been rehearsing yells the past week, and, coupled with the confidence they place in their own players, they will be behind the team and give them their heartiest support. Tech Will Have Band. Tech's prize-winning band, led by Mike Greenblat, will he on hand to add to the attraction, and when they start off on “Rambling Wreck" the fun will begin and the students will arise to the moment and hurst forth in voluminous lungfuls for their team. Nearly the entire body of univer sity students will come over Satur day morning in an attempt to land the last game irrespective of the out come of the game to-day. They will come over in a special train headed bv their hand and followers of the team, and alumni will meet them at the station. AmpU* accommodations have been ide rc>r a record-breaking crowd at Grant Field in the erection of bleach ers along first and third bases, In ad dition to the large grandstand. m Go To The Original $15 Tailors the only store in town where you ean get Real $25 S U __ its f, i h • Made to Order | M'A IFEl T t,¥ • :.} The old reliable Scotch” Woolen gpi Mills.

LA., May 16—1 don’t know whether It is a league record or not, but I’d like to call attention to the fact that Wally Smith made nine straight hits up to the time he filed out to Baer- wald in the middle of the game yes terday— and we closed the series with a victory, « to 4, after a string of three defeats. Smith’s work was marvelous. He was laid up with a sprained ankle, you remember, and didn’t break back into the game until Monday. But his last time up against Mont gomery he made a single. Then he brock back Tuesday with five hits. Here is his full record: This Wss Swell Hitting. Saturday, against Manning, one hit. Tuesday, against Harrell, five hits. Wednesday, against Kissinger and Harrell, 2 hits (the other times he faced the pitcher they walked him. .n a pinch). Thursday, against Kroh, 1 hit. Total, 8 in (succession. 1 guess that mark will last a few days. From all we can learn it Is a league record. Smith reached first base twelve consecutive times in the Memphis ae ries. Eight of the excursions were made on safe hits, two on bases utl balls end two on wild pitches which struck his person. It remained for the jinxifying Influences of the number “13” to halt the brazen doings of the Atlanta star, for on tys thirteenth trip to the pan he filed out to right field. Did I say we won yesterday from Memphis? Well, we sure did, and we are going after the New Orleans team to-day with A1 Furchner on the slob. Dunn will receive. MOTWJET COLUMN* l IS A CREDIT TO EDDIE MURPHY HELD TO DRAW BY EARL FISHER SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, May 18.— Eddie Murphy, of Boston, stacked .ip against Earl Fisher, of Cincinnati, a freak fighter, and the best he couli earn was a draw at the end of ter, rounds. Fisher’s speed and quickness had Murphy dazzled, and while the Boston lad landed! some effective blows. Fisher Jabbed him at will.

SULLIVAN, the I >oh Bah of American amateur athletics, has again been shocked. The first time was at the discovery that Jim Thorpe, the Indian, was a professional instead of an amateur. On that oqca- ■ion, Mr. Sullivan sent the only mes sage that was ever indicted “to the nations of the earth" by any poten tate except the Pope at Rome. This time his inward horror and outward agitation has been caused by the discovery that girls in Southe n California and elsewhere take part In general athletics, wearing—but ho v tan we say this with delicacy? You know, swimming in an absence of skirts and such. In the last number of the Dos An geles Athletic Club “Mercury,” Mr. Sujlivan Is quoted as saying that he does not believe in tho participation of women in general athletics. He says that he believes in physical ex ercises by women but he suggests that they should pull off their athletic competitions somewhere by them selves and not at the same meets where men are to compete. Although the “Mercury" interviews stops there. Sullivan went further in talking with several newspaper men. He expressed his particular disap proval of the mixed swimming com petitions in which women swim in rather vague and chilly costumes. He said that he thought the minis of the spectators were distracted from the purely athletic character of th ■ swimming morns by the participation of these Venus#? in swimming trunks. He would favor, he said, all women’s athletic meets being conductei mrlctly by themselves. * * * »iT WO gentlemen entered a cafe and * they could not agree as to who should treat.” explains Mr. Croweb. “To decide the argument they tossed a coin -naturally, one of them lost and paid. The next day they got into a discussion as to who had hough* the last drink, and in the course of the argument they made a wager, one contending that the man who won the toss was the purchaser, and the other contending that the loser had bought. Now, who in your opinion bought the drink—the man who lost and paid or the man w ho won? This is certainly u question —a grave question—to decide. In the first place the logic speaks for itself. For instance, when two (gen tlemen) enter a cafe it is usually cus tomary for them to engage In an ar gument over who shall buy, and fall ing they match for It. But the Mg question Involved is whether if you Into a bet you win and if you win you lose. If you bought the first drink, to make tt more explicit, were vou the last man to treat, or is there still an obligation resting upon your shoul ders? The law of gambling is that where you can’t win you can’t lose, and If you lose by winning then you are ultimately a loser. On the oth i r hand, you can’t lose where you can t win, and If you win by losing the same rule applies. In this case f he man who bought the last drink had lost as well as being a winner, and If he Is called upon to buy the next he is a double loser and a one time win ner, while at the same time the man who won would be a Ibser and a two time winner also if he had to kick in." * • * \X7 H1LE passing around all the bou- quets for Walter Johnson and Christy Mathewson, what’s the mat ter with Harry Sallee, the star south paw of the Cardinals? Prior to the fifth inning of Mon day’s game with the Braves Sal had not given a base on balls, owning a record of 40 rounds without passing a man. Then Harry became "wild” and walked Bill Sweeney, one of the most dangerous batters in the Nfetloital League with men on bases. For a southpaw this is a very goo I record, one base on balls In 41 in nings. as the side-wheelers general ly are wild men. But this is not the case with Sal. He can put the bad where he wants it and no one will deny It. * * . * A TEAM in the United States League failed to appear for a scheduled game. The umpire not only declared the contest forfeited, but announced that he had taken th* franchise away also. * * • GCPEAKING of foxy managers,” re- ^ marked an American Associa tion player, “here’s one on Mike Oa.i- tillon Two of the players had ben late in getting down to the bus one afternoon and the team was forced to depart without them. They came out on a street car later. “The next afternoon, on the way out to the park, one of the tardy ones turned to Mike and remarked: KUke T had to pay my car fare out to the park yesterday, and you owe me 5 cents.’ “Mike looked at him with a rather cold eye and Inquired in a low, hut rather chilled steel voice: ’Do you really want that ntckel after being late and breaking the club rule about getting to the bus?’ " ‘Sure, I want that nickel.’ replied the athlete, ’I had to pay It out of my own pocket, and the club should stand for it.’ ’ All right,’ remarked Miguel, as *he dug up the nickel end handed It to him. Here’s your 6 cents, and with it goes a $25 fine for being late.’” • • * A JURY has given Jack O’Connor a verdict for $6,000 against the owner of the St. Louis Brown*. Nat urally it required twelve men to sep arate a baseball magnate from that much kale. By FODDER FOR FANS &9L£NMUIJ< '0? Peachtree • AIL ORDERS—Write for Free w^mp:es and self-measuring blanks.

Jimmy Grant is wild to get on with Kid Young in the semi-windup to the Flynn-Savage scrap.

F RANK WHITNEY, the "Fighting Carpenter," well known to local boxing (ana and popular here abouts because of hla clean-cut meth od#. sends the following telegram Cedar Rapids, Iowa, May 15.— Mra Whitney died here Wednes day after a sickness that lasted three years. FRANK WHITNEY. Frank Whitney has only been fight ing about three years. He did not gj into the game because he liked it. He was a carpenter by trade, but when Mrs. Whitney was stricken with con sumption Frank realized that he cou ; d not earn enough money at carpentry to give her the proper medical atten tion that she needed. Frank had done some boxing and believed that he could make a good living at the game. When the family physician called one dav and diag nosed Mrs. Whitney's illness as con sumption, Frank closed up his car penter shop and started training ftr fights. Defeats Battling Nelson. He won hie first out, his second, his third and twenty others. , Then he came to Atlanta and he won consist ently, hla greatest achievement being when he deefated Battling Nelson at the Auditorium-Armory. And' every cent that Frank earned he Sent home. He kept Just enough to bny him a bed and three squares a day. Many of his profession here !n the city called him a "chinch," "cheap guy," etd. And Just because Frank didn’t carouse around with them and spend hla hard-earned money foolish ly. Instead, Frank sent his eaminas home. He took his wife to nearly every expert In the country. He took her to Arizona, to California, to Den ver, but the dread disease refused lo bs checked Whitney fought three battles here the first of the year. His bit in those three amounted to about 11.600. And 11,500 of that was spent for diamonds and other trinkets that a woman loves so much. "My wife can’t live much longer," he told me after the Nelson flg’ir, “but, by Jingo, she Is going to have everything she wants while she does live." Fought For Hit Wife. For the past three years Frank Whitney, who detested fighting, fought for his wife. He saw to It that she had the best of everything. And yet some of the "low-lives" of the game oalled him a "chinch” and a "cheap guy.’’ Perhaps now that they realtae 'he truth they will admire him. Surely, a more gentlemanly, straight-forward, clean-living chap never paid a vlait here. • And the condolence of local boxing fans go out to Frank Whitney in hii bereavement. The Jack O'Connor case seems to have set a precedent that a contract which Is binding on a manager also binds a ball club. * • * This is strictly against the rules of organized baseball which provide that a contract binds only a player—ancl the club owners can do as they durn please. * * • The Cracker club had an awful joke on Ed Donnelly, the Hol<J-Out Kid, as long as the hurlers were going all right. Right now Edward seems to have the better of the jesting. • * * Hohnhorst is playing fine ball for Jack O’Connor’s Federal League team. But when the Federal blows “Hohny” will have to pay a fat fine to get back Into organized baseball. • • • The hold-out kids are doing variously. Ty Cobb is going pretty strong. Rube Marquard pretty weak. • • • Players are getting mighty careful of their language. In the old days they used to yell “I got it.” Later they switched to “I have it.” Now they sing, ’Til tackle It.” • • • Clyde Milan’s brother, Horace, may be carried by the Senators this year in the hope that he will gradually de velop into a ball player. • • * Jim Thorpe figures as a Giant chiefly on the first and fifteenth of every month * * * The two Cleveland farms. Toledo and New Orleans, are fairing badly this year. Charley Sommers will have to make a million off the Naps to pay his minor league losses. • * * New York i* playing in hard luck.

McGraw, of the Giants, has been twite "shooed” off the field for "gassing” umpires, and Evers, of the Cubs; Chance, of the Yan kees; Stovall, of the Browns; Dablen, of the Dodgers, and Tinker, of the Reds, have either been chased off the field or suspended. * # ♦ The Reds yesterday “blew” themselves to 19 hits. Home runs were made yesterday by the following: Zimmerman, Cubs; Ivo- netchy, Cardinals; Connolly, Braves; Wheat and Daubert, Dodgers: Wagner, Pirates, and Speaker and Yerkes, Red Sox. * * • One of the biggest^ crowds in base ball history is expected to turn out in Chicago on Saturday—"Frank Chance day"—when the old Chicago leader will be formally welcomed. All the reserved seats have been sold. Some have fallen into the hands of speculators and are bringing from $7 to $10 each. « • * The Dodgers and Cardinals game yes terday developed into a fine old slugging match, each team annexing 15 hits. * * * For nearly two weeks the Dodgers have been ready to jump into first place, but every day they win the Phillies do likewise. Twice in a week the Phillies have gone to extra innings to grab off the game that continued them in the leading position. * * * Falkenberp’ that bald-headed twirier who was chased from the majors a number of years ago because he was too old and altogether worn out. won his seventh straight game of the season for the Naps yesterday, shutting out the Athletics. The charge that New Yorkers are par tial to the home teapi in their rooting is disproved. No man was ever ac corded a greater ovation than was Mor- d«cai Brown, The old Cub twirler, when he appeared in the box at the Polo grounds during the Cincinnati series, and yesterday when Wagner smashed out a home run that clinched the de feat of the Giants the big crowd rose to its feet, throwing hats into the air and shrieking plaudits to the "grand old man" of baseball. GIANTS RELEASE JOE EVERS- NEW YORK, May 16.— Manager McGraw, of the New York National League team, unconditionally released Joe Evers, brother of the manager of the Chicago National League team. Joe Evers was taken South on the Giants’ spring trip at his brother’s recommendation. He got into one .eague game as a pinch runner after returning to New York. Hill WOULD HELP IILIIS LAID 11G By Edward J. Geiger C HICAGO, May 16.—Francis S. O’Neil, chairman of the New York State Athletic Commis sion, which board governs boxing matches of that State, to-day sent a wire here offering his aid to the State legislators in their endeavor to pass the boxing bill now before the House. O’Neil is one of Gotham’s most prominent' lawyers. He makes it clear in his telegram to one of Chicago's prominent sporting men that he has no other object in mind other than an earnest endeavor to perpetuate the game in this State. He intimates that he would come to this State and take the stump in advocating the passage of the meas ure. As chairman of the New York Commission he feels that he can show to those hostile to the bill its value, botn to the State and to the business men. O’Neil has facts and figures which he says are convincing beyond the shadow of a doubt. Part of his wire follows: “Packey McFarland,” Chicago “I am willing to go to Springfield and address those who are opposed to the boxing bill now before your Legislature and show why it should be supported instead of opposed. I have figures which will prove that the game in our State netted the State close to $50,000 over all ex penses and that it has helped busi ness greatly. “I am sure I can convince those who are undecided as to whether to support the bill or not. I am doing this for no good that it will bring me but for personal regard to you, a credit to the game and in an ear nest endeavor to perpetuate boxing in your State. The success we have achieved now makes our bill a nec essity. (Signed) “FRANCIS S. O’NEIL.** HAGGIS TAKES MAT BOUT. NEW YORK. May 16.-— Alexander Haggis.
