and (feorffla engage this
Tiioon in the third battle of
four-game aeries between
the two colleges. The Yellow Jack
ets upset all dope during the first
tw<» games 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
up nine runs to their opponents’
seven, and again previous dope was
knocked sky-high. •
It has been stated that overconfi
dent- was what upset the Georgia
team But it was really fight that
did it. Tech journeyed to Athens
with tight 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 1 ’.lack warriors were not used to
having this uncorked on them, for
no previous team had been able to
gel the jump on them.
Tile 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-
ted that he will meet with better
lavor 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 sold 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 lie
in the box to-morrow and will lie
opposed by Morris. The Georgians
wore unsuccessful in their struggle
against Pitts and were unable to hit
hiii freely. He kept their hits well
S'uttered and at all times was mas
ter of the game.
A typical college crowd will he 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 oft 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 Iasi game irrespective of the out
come of the game to-day. They will
come over in i tfpeclal train headed
bv thwr band and followers of the
team, and alumni will meet them at
iti* station
Ample accommodations have been
made for 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.

By Jop Aglpr.
N R# ORLEANS, LA.. May 18.—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 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 Was 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. in
a pinch).
Thursday, against Kroh, 1 hit.
Total, 9 in succession.
I guess that mark will last a f >w
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
Jlnxifylng Influence* of the number
“13” to halt the brazen doings of the
Atlanta star, for on his 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 A! Furchner on the slab.
Dunn will receive.

J AS. 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 ant
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 of
skirts and such.
In the last number of the Ix>s An
geles Athletic Club “Mercury,’’ Mr.
Sullivan Is quoted as saying that he
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 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.
Fie said that he thought the minis
of the spectators w r ere distracted from
the ptirely athletic character of th *
swimming niMUs by the participation
(>f these Venusfs in swimming trunks.
He would favor, he said, all women’s
athletic meets being conductei
strictly by themselves.

“TWO gentlemen entered a cafe and
■ they could not agree as to who
should treat.” explains Mr. Crowel*.
“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 bough*
the last drink, and in the course of
the .argument they made a wager, otto
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 tnan who lost and paid or
the man who won? This is certainly v
question —a grave question—to decide.
In the first place the logic speaks fjr
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. apd full
ing they match for it. But the big
question involved Is whether if you
looe 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 still
an obligation resting upon your shout
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 *r
hand, you can’t lose where you can't
win. and if you win by losing the
same rule applies. In this case *ht*
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 loser and a two
time winner also If he had to kick
in.”

Y\J MILE 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 Cardinal*?
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. But this is not the
case with Sal. He can put the bad
where he wants It and no one will
deny It.

afternoon nqd 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
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, 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 of 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 6 cents, and wt‘h
it goes a $25 fine for being lata.' ”

By W. S. Farnsworth.
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.—
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
into the game because he liked it. He
was a carpenter by trade, but when
Mrs. Whitney wag stricken with con
sumption Frank realised that he couGJ
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 fjr
fights.
Defeats Battling Nelson.
He won his first out, his second, his
third anch 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 h!« 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, Frank sent his eamines
home. He took his wife to nearly
every export 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. An!
$1,600 of that was spent for diamonds
and othmr 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 w'hlle she does
live.”
Fought For His Wifs.
For the past three years PYank
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 realts© *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 Frank 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 binds only a player- and
the club owners can do as they durn
please.

York State Athletic Commis
sion, which board governs boxing
matches of that State, to-day sept a
wire here offering his aid to the
State legislators in their endeavor to
pass the boxing hill 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, bqtn 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 tq 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
w’ho arc 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.
