The Yellow Jack ets upset all dope during the first tw«> yames by winning both, when it was almost settled, at least it was by Georgia supporters, that Tech would not even 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 Tech added tip nine runs to their opponents' seven, and again previous dope was knocked sky-high. It has been stated that overconfi dence was what upset the Georgia team. But it was really fight that did it Tech journeyed to Athens with fight on their mind, in their Veins and in their uttered words. They started off with a dash, and had their opponents outclassed in "pep.” It was a case of surprise, and the Red and Black warriors were not used to having this uncorked on them, for So previous team had been able to jfret the jump on them. The Jackets will attempt the same method this afternoon when they again face the same team on Grant Field at 3:30 o'clock. Harris Cope, former Sewanee coach, will hold the indicator, and it is ex pected that he will meet with better favor by all than the plan of having two players, as was experienced dur ing the first games. Tech Is Out to Win. It might be sai^l 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. Eubanks 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 tine points told. Pitts, the Jacket southpaw, will be in the box to-morrow and will be opposed by Morris. The Georgians were unsuccessful In their struggle against Pitts and were unable to hit bin 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 be 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 burst 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 b\ their band and followers of the toajn, anil alumni will meet them at the station.

May 16—I 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 dosed the series with a victory. H to 4. after a string of three defeats. Smith’s work was marvelous. He whs 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 live hits. Here is bis full record: This Was Swall 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 the^' walked him. .n a pinch). Thursday, against Kroh. 1 hit. Total, 9 in succession. I 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 se ries. Fight of the excursions were made on safe hits, two on bases on balls and two on wild pitches which struck his person. It remained for the Jinxlfylng Influences of the number "13” to halt the braaen doings of the Atlanta star, for on his thirteenth trip to the pan he filed out to right field. Did 1 say we won yesterday from Memphis? Well, we sure did, and we are going after the New Orleans team to-day with Al Furchner on the slab. Dunn will receive.

Eddie Murphy, of Boston, stacked up against Earl Fisher, of Cincinnati, «i freak fighter, and the best he couli earn was a draw at the end of ter. rounds.

E. SULLIVAN, the : <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 occa sion, Mr. Sullivan sent the only mes sage that was ever Indicted "to ‘he 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 can we say this with delicacy? You know, swimming in an absence cf skirts and such. In the last number of the Ix>s An geles Athletic Club "Mercury," Mr. Sullivan Is quoted as saying that lie does not believe in the participation of women in general athletics. He says that he believes In physical ex ercises by women but lie 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 f h* swimming media by the participation of these Venusfs in swimming trunks. He would favor, he said, all women’s athletic meets being conducts J strictly by themselves. * * * “TWo gentlemen entered a cafe and ■ they could not agree as to who should treat." explains Mr. Crowell. "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 w r ho 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 *he drink—the man who lost and paid or the man who won? This is certainly a question—a grave question—to decide. In the first place the logic speaks 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 fail ing they match for It. Hut the big question Involved Is whether if you lose a bet you win and if you win you lose. If you bought the first drink, to make it more explicit, were you the last man to treat, or is there stl’l an obligation resting upon your shoiri ders? The law of gambling is that w’here you can’t win you can’t lose, and if you lose by winning then you RINGSIDE NOTES ONEY LOANED 10 SALARIED MEN AT LAWFUL RATES ON PROMISSORY NOTES Without Endorsement Without Collatarai Security Without Raal Estate Security NATIONAL DISCOUNT CO, 1211 -12 fourth N atlonol Bonk Bldg.

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 National League with men on bases. For a southpaw this is a very good record, one base on balls In 41 in nings. as the side-wheelers general ly are wild men. Hut this Is not the case with Sal. He can put the ba.l where he wants It and no one will deny It. 4 4 4 A TEAM in the United Staus League failed to appear for*a scheduled game.

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: Mike I 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, but rather chilled steel voice: ’Do you really want that nickel 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 or my own pocket, and the club should stand for It.’ " 'All right,' remarked Miguel, as he dug up the nickel and handed It to him. ’Here’s your 5 cents, and with It goes a $25 fine for being late.' ” 4 4 4 A JURY has given Jack O’Connor a ** verdict for $6,000 against the owner of the St. Louis Browns.

F rank whitney, the "naming Carpenter," well known to local boxing fane and popular here abouts because of his clean-cut meth ods. sends the following telegram: Cedar Rapids, Iowa, May 16.— Mrs. 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 g-’ 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 day and diag nosed Mrs. Whitney's illness as con sumption, Frank closed up his car penter shop and started training !ir 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, his 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 buy him a bed and three squares a day. Many of his profession here in the city called him a "chinch," “cheap guy.” etc. And Just because Thank didn’t carouse around with them and spend his hard-earned money foolish ly. Instead, Frank sent his earnings 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 'o be-checked. Whitney fought three battles here the first of the year. His bit in those three amounted to about 61.600. And 11,600 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 fight, “but, by Jingo, she is going to have everything she wants while she does live." Fought For His Wife. For the past three years Frank Whitney, who detested fighting, fought for his wife. He saw to It that she had the beet of everything. And yet some of the “low-lives” of the game called him a "chinch” and a "cheap guy.” Perhaps now that they realise the truth they will admire him. Surely, a more gentlemanly, straight-forward, clean-living chap never paid a visit here. And the condolence of local boxing fans go out to Frank Whitney in his bereavement.

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 <Mose 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.** 7 <1 .imM.
