rr> KCH and Georgia engage this
I afternoon In the third battle of
the four-game series between
the two colleges. The Yellow Jack
ets upset all dope during the first
two games by winning both, when it
was almost settled, at least it whs by
Georgia supporters, that Tech would
not even have a look-in and that
Georgia would tally as many runs in
<*ne inning as Tech would during the
entire series.
Well, it happened that Tech added
ip nine runs to their opponents
rvon, and again previous dope was
tnocked sky-high.
It has been stated that overconfi
dence was what upset the Georgia
earn But it was really tight that
:id it Tech journeyed to Athens
rith fight on their mind, in their
eins and in their uttered words. They
tarted off with a dash, and had their
• pponents outclassed in "pep." It
v as a cas** of surprise, and the Red
nd Black warriors were not used to
Laving this uncorked on them, for
>:o previous team had been able to
iet the jump on them
The Jackets will attempt the same
method this afternoon when they
gain face the same team on Grant
' ield at 3:30 o'clock.
Harris Cope, former Sewanee coach,
v ill hold the indicator, and it is ex-
1 ‘cted that he will meet with better
l ivor by all than the plan of having
t vo players, as was experienced dur
ing the first games.
Tech Is Out to Win.
It might be said that the Tech play-
♦* t *s are going into the game to win.
Lit the Athens boys will, too, go into
t * win, and the result will be a great
b.ittle from the start.
Kubanks will be on the mound this
a 'ternoon and will probably be faced
’•y Corley. Both are too well known
ti# followers of baseball to have their
Lae points told.
Pitts, the Jacket southpaw, will be
in the box to-morrow and will be
imposed by Morris. The Georgians
were unsuccessful in their struggle
against Pitts and were unable to hit
(: m freely. He kept their hits well!
s attered and at all times was mas-
t r of the game.
A typical college crowd will be on
L ind for the game with their gay col-
• . a. pretty feminine rooters and yell-
i: g “studes." The entire rooting de-
p rtment of the local college has been
!• hearsing yells the past week, and.
upled with the confidence they
V ice in their own players, they .will
I* behind the team and give them
i: dr heartiest support.
Tech Will Have Band.
1'ech s prize-winning band, led by
;» kt* Greenblat, will be on hand to
n- 1 to the attraction, and when they
it nff on 'Rambling Wreck" the
*' \ will begin and the students will
; sc to the moment and burst forth
ii voluminous lungfuls for their team.
Nearly the entire body of univer-
s / students will come over Satur-
• / morning in an attempt to land
Ih • last game irrespective of the out
• > ne of the game to-day. They will
< ne over in a special train headed
their hand and followers of the
v in. and alumni will meet them at
U, station.
Vrnple accommodations have been
rr de for a record-breaking crowd at
C mi Field in the erection of bleach-
«i along first and third bases, in ad-
d .on to the large grandstand.

THKXR (J A.. May 16. The
Georgia men primed their last
armaments on Sanford Field
yesterday afternoon and left this
morning to resume hostilities with
Tech. They have had a strenuous
week’s work in an attempt to reach
th»* stride they hit all the reason until
the shake-up came lust Friday and
Saturday’.
Not a point kn>\\n to baseball
coaches has been overlooked by Cun
ningham in his workouts since Mon
day. in these two games to-day and
to-morrow the real generalship of tin*
two coaches will be put to a test.
Kach has seen his opponents In ac
tion and should know how best to
meet their attn< k.
There is hardly a person in Athens j
who does not believe that Georgia
will win the two remaining games
and bring to a successful finish a
great season. Yet the enthusiasm
attending the departure of the team
• *»-day was noticeable on account of
its absence.
Never in the history of Georgia and
Tech rivalry has a team ever left
Athens for Atlanta before without a
lousing mass meeting of the students
iu the chapel on the eve of battle and
in escort to the train. All was quiet
• n the campus last night and the at
moapher* is still hanging heavily
over the Red and Black camp, all of
which is calculated to augur well for
the chances of victory, as it was
overconfidence as much a.- anything
else that robbed the Athenians of a
celebration when they were handed
the surprise of their lives by ha\ing
to take two defeats at the hands of
their time-honored rival-.
Should Georgia win tin* games to
day and to-morrow, a challenge will
probably be offered Tech for a fifth
game, to decide the tie.
The Georgia cadets will be in en
campment next week, which affords a
good opportunity for another game.

"HOBE" FERRIS LET OUT.
MINNEAPOLIS. MINN. May 16.
"Hobe" Ferris, third baseman, and
Glenn Liebhurdt, pitcher, were uncon
ditionally released to-day by Presi
dent Cantillon. of Minneapolis.
J AS. R. SULLIVAN, the I ,oh Bah
of American amateur athletes,
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.
'Phis time his inward horror an 1
outward agitation has been caused bv
the discovery that girls in Southe n
C alifornia and elsewhere take part in
general athletics, wearing—but ho v
can we say this with delicacy? You
know, swimming in an absence f
skirts and such.
In the last number of the Los \n-
geles Athletic Flub "Mercury,” M .
Sullivan is quoted as saying that h ■
does not believe in the 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 mens
w here-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 »h‘
swimming meets by the participation
of these Vcnuses In sw imming trunks.
He would favor, he said, all women’s
athletic meets being conducte I
strictly by themselves.
* * *
uT \YU gentlemen entered a cafe and
• the.' could not agree as to who
should treat." explains Mr. (Towel 1 .
"To decide the argument they tossed
a coin- naturally, one of them lost
and paid. The next day they got in •
a discussion as to who had bough*
the last drink, and in the course of
the argument they made a wager, ono
i ontendlng 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? Tills is certainly ;•
question a grave question—to decide.
In the first place the logic speaks ** >
itself. For instance, when two (gen
tlemen) enter a cafe It la usually cus-
lomary for them to engage in an ar
gument over who shall buy. and fall
ing they match for it. But the big
j question involved Is w hether if you
I lost 1 a bet you win and if you w in you
j lost*. If you bought the first drink,
! to make it more explicit, were you
the last man to treat, or is there sti'l
an obligation resting upon your shoo!
tiers? 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 >r
hand, you can't lose where you can';
win, and if you win by losing the
same rule applies. In this case ♦he
man who bought the last drink hdd
lost as well as being a w inner, and If
he is called upon to buy the next he
is a double loser and a one time win
ner, w hile at l he same time the man
who won would be a lose! and a two
time winner also if he had to kb’k
in."

\\J HIKE passing around a!! the bou-
* * quets for Walter Johnson and
Uhilsty 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" an 1
walked Bill Sweeney, one of the most
dangerous batters in the National
League with men on bases.
For a southpaw this is a very goo-1
record, one base on balls in 41 in
nings. as the side-wheelers general-
j ly are wild men. But this is not the
lease with SdT. He can put the ba.l
I where he wants it and no one will
I deny it.

44 C PEA KING of foxy managers.” iv-
^ marked an American Associa
tion player, "here’s one on Mike Ca..-
tlllon. Two of the playeis had be i
late in getting down to the bus one
afternoon and the team was forced t<
depart without them. They came out
on a street car later.
"The next afternoon, on ihe way
I 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
I cents.'
"Mike looked a: 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. 1 want that nickel.’ replied
the athlete, 1 had to pay it out of m
own pocket, and the club should stan 1
for it.'
•*A11 right,' remarked Miguel. ,»s
he dug up the nickel and handed it
to him. ‘Here's your 5 cents, and wi lt
it goes a $25 fine for being late.’ ”

F RANK WHITNEY, the "Fighting;
Carpenter,” well known to local
boxing fans and popular here
abouts because of his clean-cut meth
ods. sends the following telegram:
Cedar Rapids. Iowa. May 15.—
Mia. Whitney died here Wednes
day after a sickness that lasted
three years.
FR A N K W HIT N E Y.
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 F'rank realized that he cou-d
not earn enough money at carpentrv
to give her the proper medical atten
tion that she needed.
F’rank 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
fights.
Defeats Battling Nelson.
He won his 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 F'rank earned
lie 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 Frank
didn't carouse around with them and
spend his hard-earned money foolish
ly.
Instead. F'rank sent his earnings
home. He took hi9 wife to nearly
every expert in the country. He tooK
her to Arizona, to California, to Den
ver. but the dread disease refused to
be checked.
Whitney fought three battles here
the first of the year. His bit in those
three amounted to about $1,600. Anl
$1,500 of that was spent for diamonds
and other trinkets that a woman love*
so much.
"My wife can't live much longer,’
he told me after the Nelson flglir,
"but. by jingo, she is going to have
everything she wants while she d jcs
live.”
Fought For His Wife.
F’or the past three years F'rank
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 called him a "chinch" and a
"cheap guy.”
Perhaps now that they realize 'he
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 F'rank Whitney in h.s
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 hinds only a player and
the club owners can do as they durn
please.

The Cracker club had an awful joke
on Fid Donnelly, the llold-Out Kid. as
