Eubanks, p Clements, ss. 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.

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. EDDIE MURPHY HELD TO DRAW BY EARL FISHER SPRINGFIELD. OHIO, .Max 16.

Matty McCue. of this city, stopped Jeff O’Uonnell. of Chicago, in 9o second* last night with the most vicious punch a featherweight ever carried n a five-ounce mitt. O’Connell dug his nose into the canvas five times n that time, propelled by the terriil' power of Matty's right. REVOIRE BESTS MAGIRL. ST. LOT IS. May 16.—Eddie Re- volre. Philadelphia welterweight, was awarded the decision over Art Magirl, of Bartlettsville. Okla.. after six snap py rounds here last night. "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. * * * \ 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. • * * * 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.’ ” * * * » A JURY has given Jack O’Connor a verdict for $5,000 against the owner of the St. Louis- Browns. Nat urally it required twelve men to sep arate a baseball magnate from that much kale.

Jimmy Grant is wild to get on with Kid Young in the semi-w'ndup to the Flynn-Savage scrap Although Grant is several pounds lighter than Young he would not lack for admirers if the two were matched. Grant is one of the greatest boxers in the game to-dav at 115 pounds. He can make 112. ring side, easily. • * * If Young will make 118 pounds for Grant, George Gaelelis, the Chicago boy's backer, will bet $200 on Jimmy George saw Grant hold Young to a draw here about a month ago and is positive Grant can beat the local lad in a return match.

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 long as the hurlers were going all right. Right now Edward seems to have the better of the jesting. * * * Hohnhorst is playing tine 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. • * • ’[’he hold-out kids ace 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. "I’ll 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 million off the Naps to pay his minor league losses. * * * New York is playing in hard luck. Not only are the Giants and the Yanks pretty much to the bad but the metrop olis has hen forced to forfeit its fran chise in the United States League. * * * Gould Manafee, the Washington lad, once owned by the Crackers, is catch ing good hall for the Charleston club.
