Predicted on April 17 That Cobb
Would Join the New
York Club,
By W. S. Farnsworth.
A S it is a habit with sporting
writers in the South to come
out with a big story whenever
their predictions come true, we cheer
fully w’ish to announce that we were
first to predict that Ty Cobb would
become a Yankee.
We printed in The Georgian on
April 17 the following story;
Ty Cobb Is golnsr to wear New
York American League spangles
On the face of matters. It
doesn’t listen good, but about
three months ago Ban Johnson,
high mucK-a-muck of the Ameri
can League, dropped off in this
burg for a couple of hours. B.
B. J. came down to this neck of
the woods to look over an Inland
off the Savannah coast. He and
C. Comiskey, White Sox franchise
possessor, wanted said isle to fish
and hunt on.
Yours truly paid Mr. Johnson
a call at the Piedmont Hotel.
The topic of interest in b. b. cir
cles at the time was the report
that Francois Chance was to affix
his J. Hancock to a New York
contract. I asked Ban about it.
“Cinch the Yankees will get
Chance. I fixed the thing all up
myself.” So spoketh B. Byron.
And his chest swelled a couple of
Inches as he spoke the "I.”
“Farrell Is going to have a win
ner, too,” added the $25,000 per
president. “I believe he will have
the greatest player in the world
with him if a deal that is pendir%
goes thrpugh.”
1 was inquisitive, but Ban would
go no further. And trying to get
a bit of news out of him when he
doesn’t care to give it is like try
ing to tear your teeth through
an Athens steak.
But right now everything points
Cobb's way.
The American League simply
has got to get a team in New
York that can compete with the
Giants. Gotham is the National
League stronghold. Ban Johnson
is a wise gazink He never over
looks a bet. With *Cobb and
Chance both in New York, Mc-
Graw and his bunch would have
to divide prestige with the Amer
ican League team.
Now. isn’t it likely that there
is a perfect understanding be
tween the player, the Detroit
owner. Frank Farrell and Ban
Johnson?

Great Johnson
Suffering From
Lame Shoulder
B oston, mapf. sept. 1.—wai-
*• r Johnson, the great pitcher
> f the Washington Americans,
is suffering with a lame arm. It de
veloped to-day that Johnson has been
working with his shoulder, which
pains him whenever he delivers the
ball. He contracted it after that fif
teen-inning game, which ended in a
tie, with the St. Louis Browns sev
eral weeks ago. and since then has
been winning his games without ever
having to extend himself. Johns >n
to-day was asked about the story that
his arm was sore and he replied:
* * *
V r ES, it is. It has been paining
1 me ever since I worked in that
fifteen-inning tie game against St.
Louis. At times it pains so badly that
I want to quit, bir am stalling along
because I do not want the opposing
players to know that I am not right.
I have surprised myself by winning
the games I have been in, for I have
been far, far from right.
F OOTBALL practice starts Tues
day at Grant Field for the Tech
squad, when all the preliminary
training and coaching will be gone
through before the opening of col
lege, when the real grind begins.
The new field is rapidly being
rounded into condition, and by the
time of the first game will be in first-
class condition. The new concretc-
stadium is being rushed and that,
too, will be in readiness for the first
game The first unit of the stand is
up and will hold about 2.500 people.
Bleachers will be erected alongside of
this for this season until the rest j
of the stadium can be completed.
Tech’s prospects are far from j
gloomy, despite the tact that only six j
of the varsity will return and an- j
svver the call of the gridiron. Among j
these are Captain Homer Cook, the
star halfback of last year’s team; |
Loeb, the plucky center; Means, a
lineman; Fielder and McDonald, half- I
backs, and Thomasson, who played
end.
With these men as a nucleus,
Coach Heisman has a number of last
year’s scrubs who will make a strong
bid for first string honors.
Those that showed up best as
scrubs last year and look good for
this year are Rainey. Trawick, Lang.
Moore. Lucas, Beard, Goree. Relf-
snider. Crutcher, the Montague broth
ers. Edgar and Tyler, and the Gard
ner boya These men played last year
under the watchful eye of Assistant
Coach Alexander and developed great
ability and, with last year’s experi
ence, should do well.
A h *st cf new* material is expected,
but at this early date not much is
known about their prospects. Several,
prep school stars have signified their
intentions of entering the college,
but until school convenes for the win
ter session not much will be learned.
it is expected that Coach Heirman
will lay especial attention and stress
on kicking ability this year. Mc
Donald. of la*»t year’s varsity, showed
up wonderfully during the season,
and this year should win great hon
ors with his boot. He is young, will
ing to learn and has great ability,
his trusty toe gaining lots of ground
for the Jackets last fall.
Tech has not had a good kicker
since the day's of “Lob” Brown back
In 1907, and with the aid of a regular
toe artist, coupled with the fighting
spirit of the Jackets, a winning team
should be turned out.
The varsity men of last year w’ho
are not expected tot’eturn are Leuhr-
mann. last year’s captain, who grad
uated; Hutton, Stegall, “Scrappy”
Moqre, Colley and Fax Montague, wno
is ineligible this year owing to his
playing time being over.
FTom now’ on the practice will con
sist mainly of getting Into fit physi
cal condition, kicking, falling on the
ball and such preliminary tactics
before the regular season begins.
Middle Division Sadly Run Down
+•+ +*4* +•+ *F**F •£••*!*
Billy Papke Only Old-Timer Left
By W. W. Naugliton.
I N deploring the lack of high-class
heavyweights at the present time,
the fact that the middleweight di
vision is even worse run down than
the class above seems to have been
overlooked. Jimmy Clabby, Eddie
McGoorty, Jack Dillon, Frank Klaus,
Billy Papke and Mike Gibbons are
recognized as the best of the lot. Pic
ture. if you can, what Stanley Ketchel
in his prime would have performed
had the six of them been shoved into
the ring for him to dispose of, one
after th e other. Or, sadder still,
imagine if you can any of the six
before Bob Fitzsimmons when the
freckled one was'in his prime.
Papke was once a great fighter; but
it is not what you used to be, but
what you ar e to-day in pugilism.
Billy is stringing along on the
strength of his past reputation, and
at that is about as good as any of
them, slow’ed up even as he is. In his
prime he could have beaten the bunch
in less time than it takes to tell it.
He is the only one of the six possessed
of a real knockout wallop, or rather
did possess one when he was in his
prime.
* * *
D ILLON and Klaus are roughhouse
fighters, whose ring actions more
resemble barroom squabling than
scientific boxing. They are tough,
game to the core and hit fairly well,
but are almost as devoid of science
as it is possible for men to be who
have engaged in boxing as a profes
sion for years. Neither is hard to hit.
Before either Ketchel or Fitzsimmons
they would have been punching bags.
Klaus once boxed Ketchel. but that
was after the great Grand Rapids
fighter grew careless, began to de
cline and did no more training than
to reduce weight by a hair cut and
shave.
* * *
C LABBY and McGoorty are clever.
fast and tricky, but neither hits
hard enough to have even so much as
slacked the pace of such fighters as
Ketchel or Fitzsimmons. Gibbons is
fast and clever, but only looks good
against third#and fourth raters, seem
ing to choke when staked up against
real class. There are a number of
reasons to believe that he is not as
game as a man should be if he ex
pects to adopt boxing as a profes
sion. The writer is of the opinion
that Joe Gans and Jack Blackburn,
lightweights, when in their prime..
could have disposed of the best men
in the middleweight division to-day,
and that Welterweight Joe Walcott
could have beaten them easily, even
despite fifteen or twenty pounds dif
ference In weight.

Fay Defeats Ellen
In Finals for Davis
& Freeman Trophy
Playing in great form, T. B. Fay won
the Davis & Freeman trophy yesterday
in the final round of the big golf tour
nament on the Atlanta Athletic Club
course at East Lake, defeating J. A.
Ellen in a grand battle that went the
entire thirty-six holes to reach a de
cision. An idea of the class of golf
played may be gained from the fact
that the last round of eighteen holes was
played in 82 and 83 strokes by the con
testants.
This is Mr. Fay’s first win of the
handsome trophy, which has been won
at various times by “Tick” Tichenor,
Hamilton Block and F. G. Byrd, the lat
ter having won it twice. To become
permanent property, the cup must be
won three times.
In the second flight, J. G. Darling de
feated H. C. Moore, 3 up and 2 to play,
in a close and well-played match. Mr.
Darling's trophy also is a handsome cup.
The third and fourth flight finais were
decided Saturday.
McTaggart Is
Jockey King
In Year's Time
N EW YORK, Sept. 1.—From mes
senger boy to the top rung of
the racing world in less , than
a year is the record of "Little John
ny" McTaggart, who is without a
doubt the very best American jockey
sporting the silks in this country.
“The Kid," as little Johnnie is
called at Saratoga, is a brother of
Jockey Tommy McTaggart. This
time last year he was chasing hia
legs off running messages for a New
York telegraph company.
Johnnie got his first real chance at
the recent Belmont Park meeting,
where he piloted to victory August
Belmont's horse Mission. At Sara
toga “The Kid” had four mounts and
won with three.
• * *
TN the history of racing it has never
been recorded where a boy made
such a rapid and brilliant rise as this
little jockey, whose actual measure
ments would scarcely overtax a yard
stick.
A decade or more ago the racing
slogans were, “Follow Sloan," or “Fol
low Miller." To-day the cry is, “Back
the Kid’—meaning Johnnie McTag
gart, of course. Jeff Livingston, R.
F. Carman, August IDlmont and R.
T. Wilson, Jr,, are all after his serv
ices.
• • *
C AM HILDRETH, the foremost In
America, who has just returned
from abroad to take charge of the
Belmont stable, declared after seeing
McTaggart ride that the youngster
was the best rider of his inches the
turf world has ever known.
The little jockey is only 17 years of
age and can ride at less than 90
pounds. He Is under contract to
Hugh Penny, a former star rider of
the West. Jeff Livingston offered
Penny $10,000 for the "Kid's" con
tract. He was told he couldn't have
the boy for twice that amount.
