Of these Lamb and Major are the only ones that have played their time out. Ressijac, Burns. Meadows and Lockwood have graduated. Pitts has gone to Annapolis, where he will make the Navy a good man. Lock- wood may return, and It Is to be de voutly hoped by.all Auburn support ers that he will return to bolster up anv weak spots that may be in the Auburn line. His weight, experience and quickness would be of invaluable help. Some New Men Useful. These losses seem enough to wreck any team, but there were some good men on the. scrubs last year, who were ineligible because they lacked the necessary number of units and with Borne varsity substitutes that will be ready for regular berths this year that will make Auburn’s team come up to the usual standard. There ap pears to be some new material com ing in that will be useful the first year, which is something unusual in Auburn’s football history. Cleveland, of Mobile; Hairston, of Marion, and Prendergast, of TexaR, are some of the most prominent mentioned. The severity of the football sched ule and the reports coming from the different hostile camps a-e what is giving Auburn the most concern just now. Of the eight S. I. A. A. games on the schedule, six are hard and they come on consecutive Saturdays. The first two, with Mercer and Florida, might be said to be good practice games, but that can not be said of any of the others. After these two games, which are on the campus, the team journeys to Clemson to play the "Tigers” on their native soil. The Carolinians are claiming a heavy and strong team this year, which means trouble for all opponents. The next game is with Mississippi A. & M in Birmingham, and everyone knows, by past experience, what to expect there. They lose Williams, but to the average layman It is hard to eee any loss there, otherwise, they claim that they will be much stronger. Then a journey will be made to Mobile, where Louisiana State Uni versity will be played. They return every player of last year’s team, to gether with the captain, who was in jured most of last year, and they are not at all bashful In their claims. Auburn players reported them last year as having the best looking ma terial in the South. No chance to ease up there. Hear Tech Is Strong. The annual game with the Black smiths. of Atlanta, comes next, and In their reports they are already con testing the Southern championship with Vanderbilt. They have corralled a lot of prep stars and they will un doubtedly have one of the most, for midable aggregations ever turned out by Tech' On November 15 corner the Commo dores tp battle with Auburn In Bir mingham. La«»t year’s game still ran kles and they are vowing dire things. N6 further comment is necessary. The- following Saturday Georgia will be played in Atlanta. They hav* lost a good many players, but they still have McWhorter. The chances are, however, that they will not be quite as formidable as last year, when they flipped one over on the over confident Auburnltes. On the whole, it appears as if the teams in the S. I. A. A. would be more olofcely matched than usual, and some sterling sport ought to be the result with the interest far greater than ever before.

Bill's first idea was that the promotion of his alleged candidacy was a big joke. Yesterday he decided the joke was being carried too far. So Bill, who is an open and onward sort of man, came right out with his side of it, and anybody who can un derstand the United States language will have no difficulty in finding out w r here Bill stands. “This is all blamed foolishness.” began William Andrew. "It may be more than that; I’m not prepared to say But It's blamed foolishness, to say the least and the best about it. “Me In politics? Why. here I am 42 years old, and I never even voted but once In my life. I don’t know anything about politics, and I don't want to know anything about politics. Baseball Is enough of a business for me, and until I get through with base ball you can bet I'm not going to mix ud in any other business—particu larly politics.” Bill admits that he registered as a voting citizen of Atlanta. "But that had nothing to do with that Sixth Ward Councilman thing," Bill saya "Atlanta has paid me the compliment of keeping me to manage the Atlanta baseball club for a couple of years. This will be my home for that length of time, and it seemed to me only right that I should be a full- fledged, regular citizen of Atlanta. I might even vote, although I don't know of anything to vote about very much now. "But so far as running for any of fice, or letting myself be run for any office, or getting mixed up in politics in any way—why, you just say for Bill Smith that his entire business is keeping Atlanta supplied with a reg ular ball club, and that will keep him out of politics and other mischief, and you can bet on it." BOXING News of the Ring Game Wfilie Ritchie, lightweight champion, is coming Chicago-way to give Charlie ■White a chance to show his worth against a kingpin battler. . • • Willie to-day wired Nate Lewis, man ager of White, that he would leave Fris co on Friday or Saturday for the East, stopping off in Chicago long enough to look over the ground and go ten rounds with White. ,00 Milwaukee is ready to take the match, three of the promoters already having accepted Lewis’ offer. Ben Stelnel like ly will get the match If he can con vince Ritchie to fight on a percentage. . . • White is one of the best boy’s In the middle West and, pound for pound, he Is considered the best lightweight in that class. ...

The victor Is to face Jimmy Clabby.^ Racine has offered Johnny Coulon a match with Young Sinnett, of Rock Is land and if Johnny cares for it a local business man will give him a side bet of upward of $2,000.

His not to make reply. His not to reason why. Under Cal’s eagle eye Bodie had blundered. Right there in open view Ring stowed away the brew. "Caught with the goods on you I" Callahan thundered. Ping only heaved a sigh, Thinking, with tearful eye, How many he could buy With the six hundred. Mr. Bodie will now take his foun tain pen in hand and write “The Worst Bonehead Play I Ever Made.” While Ping does most of his bat ting after the game, he can point with pride to the fact that ha is the only .600 batter in the American League. Looking over the results of the Bonder yacht races one Is convinced that as yachtsmen the Germans are good skat players. It might interest Al Palzer to learn that farm hands are in great demand in Kansas. Not that it causes us any worry, but it is almost time for someone to break in with the discovery that Jim Jeffries was doped, WHEREFORE? Are you out upon a strike, Heine Zimt Tell us, for the love of Mike, Heine Zim. You have been so meek and tame Several days have went and came Since they chased you from the game, Heine Zim. Napoleon Lajoie denies the report that no will enter politics. He refuses to see his reputation blackened after an honorable career of loi these many years. One of the beauties of the closing of the baseball season is that the ath letes do not have to visit St. Louis any more. A power boat is a useful little con trivance except for the fact that it spends most of its time on the bottom of the lake. It is said that football will be an improved game this season. It is also said that there was plenty of room for improvement. WHITE HOPES. There are those who like to see a pair of heavies in a scrap As they flop around the ring and try to spoil each other’s map. There are those who like to see a fight between a pair of hopes As they stumble on each other’s feet ansi move around like mopes. There are those who like to see a giant flopped upon his back, But I'd rather see two freight cars knock each other off the track. To our jaded notion, a scrap be tween two heavyweights is about as inspiring as a foot race between two cows, BRUTALITY. “It is a brutal, vicious game,” he said, And from the football field his motor sped. His auto ran across a stranger’s neck And left him there, a shattered, hope less wreck. And, as he left the stranger there for dead, “This football is a brutal game," he said*’ No More Pop-Pop Racing Until a Week From Next Saturday GRAVES, RICHARDS AND SWARTZ WIN FINALS I T seems there is no end to football material at Tech this season. New men are reporting every day now. Two cracks from Louisville prep schools will be here in a few days. They are, Mallory, a fast backfield man, and Murphree, a big tackle, who 1r also a punter and good baseball pitcher. They are both corking men and will give somebody a hard fight for a place on the team. Gene Hill and Carl Stone, two old Tech baseball stars, got busy and dug these men up down in Louisville. Two more new men from Chatta nooga are coming to Te<?h. Patter son, one of the men, and all-city cen ter from Chattanooga High School, Is said to be a good man, while Hander, the other man, a speedy halfback from the University of Chattanooga, circles the ends almost at will. Kan- der is also a trackman and baseball player. Both men will report for prac tice this week. There are two other men. who, if secured, are sure to beat somebody out of a place on the varsity. One of them is a big fullback who punts f>5 and 60 yards with ease. He stands 6 feet 2 and weighs about 195 pounds. He Is some man. The other is a heavy lineman with a lot of expe rience. This season bids fair to be one of the greatest in the history of Tech. Boy Wins Quarter Swimming Title NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—-The 440- yard national swimming champion ship was captured at Travers Island by J. C. Wheatley, a New York youth, who entered the competition unat tached and who has never figured in a championship meet before. Wheat- ley had to beat such stars as Gilbert Tomlinson, the boy wonder of Phila delphia, and the veteran L. B. Good win. Wheatley's time was 6 minutes 4 2-6 seconds. At the end of the race Goodwin, who finished fourth, announced his retirement from swimming. Wells Knocked Out Moir in 5 Rounds IiONTKTN, Sept. 11.—Bombardier Wells, heavyweight champion of Eng land, last night retrieved his previous defeat at the hands of “Gunner” .Tim Moir, the ex-champion, by knocking him out in the fifth round. The fight took place in Canterbury; Music Hall. T ILE final performance of the mo torcycle racers at the Motor drome before their trip to Chattanooga was marked by desper ate riding by all hands, and It is not to be charged to prudence that the squad was able to make the trip all in one section to the Mountain City, where the members will race during the G. A. R. reunion. Morty Graves and Tex Richards had It out again, and Morty and his Excelsior rather put it over Tex. The latter, however, took hold of another leg on Bill Stoddard’s cup when he copped the Southern championship race for the second time. Tex has only to win once more in this event and the cup will be his—unless some body sneaks In and wins It three times In a row before he can put it over. 4 Harry Schwartz had a rather easy time In the sweepstakes, run under the French point system. He was first In all three heats, for a score of 30 points. Lockner was second each time, and made 18, while Glenn achieved two third places and Renel got the other Baseball Summary NATIONAL LEAGUE.

The fans certainly seem to want to do something for the Dutchman who had so much to do with the pennant coming to Atlanta. ’ The riders will be back in Atlanta a week from Sunday, after which the races will be run .Saturday after noons.
