7 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. and Her Pals Funny, Delicia’s Never Bothered That Way at All K noxville, tenn., sept. 12.— A wonderful peg to the plate In the ninth Inning of yester day’s game between Atlanta and Knoxville, headed Wallop Smith, try ing to score from third on a fly to Burke In left field, and prevented a tied score, which, with Elliott Dent going at top speed, probably would have spelled ultimate defeat for tin* Appalachian League (earn. Knoxville got only five hits off Dent, but managed to bunch them all in the sixth inning, for four runs. The Champions of the Southern League attacked Merrit sharply in the fourth and seventh innings, but were unable to make up the lost ground. Outside the fatal sixth, Dent was ab solutely invincible, retiring the side in order in the other frames. The teams play to-day and to-mor row. Atlanta— ab. r, h. po. a. e.

Sept. 12.—The lowest score made in the qualifying round in the intercollegiate golf tour nament for the individual championship was brought in by J. N. Stearne, third, of Princeton, who covered the l^hole course in 80. As there were six players who made 88 and twelve who brought in cards un der these figures, it was necessary for the sextete to play off an elimination round to bring the number down to the required sixteen for match play. Maple Leaf Wins 2d Motor Boat Race LONDON, Sept. 12.—The British mo tor-boat Maple Leaf IV won the second race for the international motor-boat trophy in Osborne Bay, her time for the course of 32.4 miles being 39:28%.

Sparkling Tennis on Display MU fj[[[ JO •{•••j* Grant and Carter Lose in Doubles By Chick Evans. C HICAGO, Sept. 12.—In the re cent National Championship at Garden City there were many noticeable upsets of form and the prophets were more at fault than usual. The course was very difficult for the Western players, because they have nothing like it at home, and for that reason found it hard to over come the peculiar difficulties it pre sented. The failure of Mason Phelps. K, L. Ames and W. J. MacDonald, of Calumet, as well as t4»e high score*' of other Western players, might be attributed to unaccustomed play over a course vastly dissimilar to those In the Chicago district, but the fail ure of Oswald Kirkb.v. Gilman Tif fany and other first-clasn Eastern players, however, seems to prove that the course presented very serious in trinsic difficulties. The^Garden City finks is not for the wooden club. There are few shots from the tee in which the good iron player did not have the better of it. for the course is so severely trapped, the way so narrow and straight, that the least deviation from the lin® meets with the heaviest punishment. Every shot must be well placed and the golfers play under a heavy strain. The fact that no British player* entered, except Mr. Maude, who en tered as a matter of courtesy (being here on business and out of prac tice) was much* regfbtted by the Americans. We were partly consoled, however, by the appearance at Gar den City of two famous golf writers. Bernard Darwfin, whose name has a strangely familiar sound, and Henry Leach, who has visited us before and is always welcome. Thi* 1 is Mr. Dar win’s first visit to America, and he is making himself extraordinarily popular here. I am glad to announce that he intends to visit Chicago, and I know there will be much pleasur able anticipation. Before journeying Westward, Mr. Darwin will go to Brookline to view the open championship. That event will be one of the greatest ever known in America and we are all hoping that our own players will make a good showing against the foreign in vaders. In anv evont most of us con learn much from the British and French professionals, and it is a big help to one’s own game to see how the great players make their good If we can see the game" and read what the various golf writers say about them we shall be doubly blessed but if we can only read about them we can still find both pleasure and profit. It may be of advantage to learn what the writers of each nationality think of the players of other lands. Seven Sewanee Vets Return to College SEWANEE, TENN., Sept. 12.—The University of the South (Sewanee) will muster seven of last year's football team. All of last year’s substitutes will be back. A heavy line and fast back- field is looked for. The schedule follows: October 4.—Unversty of Chattanooga at Sewanee. „ . . October 11.—Southwestern Presbyte- ran University at Sewanee. October 18—Unversty of Tennessee at Chattanooga. October 25.—Unversity of Texas at PflllftS November 1.—Georgia Tech at Atlanta. November 8.—Unversity of Alabama at Brmngham. 4 , November 10.—Central of Kentucky at Sewanee. , ... November 27.—Vanderblt at Nashville. Lookouts Purchase Gardener Johnson CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 12.—Pres ident O. B. Andrews, of the local club announced to-day that he had pur chased Outfielder Jack Johnson from the St. Louis Americans. Johnson, who has played regularly with the Browns this year, was se cured from the Montgomery club last fall. U NLESS present indications go far afield, Carleton Smith will win the singles title in the Cotton States tennis championships, in progress at East Lake, and Smith and Mansfield will capture the dou bles. It also appears likely that the same combinations will travel through the challenge events successfully and be returned the new champions of the Cotton States tourney. Carleton Smith won his match with Bryan Grant yesterday in clever fashion, his Lawford stroke sweep ing off the opposition after the style of the well-known new broom. The scores were 6-0, 6-3. The doubles engagement between Mansfield and Smith and their most active competitors, Grant and Carter, produced a match that fairly scintil lated in brijjiant play, and also went the limit for erratic performance and game rallies. Grant and Carter won the opening game of the second set, on Mansfield’s service, and then went suddenly wild in their placed shots, dropping the next five games in an unbroken string. Confronted with a 5-1 score against them, in addition to the open ing set—played the day before—the losing team, within one game of de feat in the match, put on a rally that fairly lifted the gallery off its benches. Six games in a row Grant and Car ter reeled off with the speed and ac curacy of a machine, and the set went to them, 7-5. Encouraged by this showing, they started with a rush on decisive set, taking three of the first four games. Here, however. Mansfield and Smith duplicated their opponents’ run of the previous engagement and took the next five games straight, giving them the set, 6-3, and the match. The finals in singles and doubles probably will be played this after noon. with the challenge round in singles Saturday morning and in dou bles in the afternoon. Lee Allen Brooks, of Birmingham, is here to de fend his title of chamrion against the wfinner of the singles finals, and Brooks and Bartlett, also of Birming ham, wifi play the winner of the dou bles. Summary of yesterday’s results: CONSOLATION SINGLES. First Round. T. M. Wilson defeated E. W. Rams- peck, 4-6. 6-1, 6-4. E. D. Whiteside defeated E. Cintz by default. Lee Douglas defeated Frank Mead ows, 6-2, 6-4. E. W. Smith defetaed Hoff Sims, Jr.. 2-6, 6-0. 6-1. Harrv Hallman defeated R. B. Scott. 6-1, 6-0. Second Round. Lee Dougles 4 defeated E. D.

Mur phy, boss of the Cubs. It happened yesterday, when Ed Reulbaeh, one of his cast-off twirlers, now pitching with the Dodgers, htui a rather easy time defeating his old-time teammates. * * • The Tigers hammered the offerings of three Red Sox twirlers to all portions of the lot yesterday, clubbing out twenty safeties for a total of fifteen runs, while Dauss, the Tiger pitcher, held the Bos tonians to five hits and two runs. • • * The Yankees gave McHale. the new twirier, gilt-edged support yesterday, with the result that the New Yorkers shut out the Browns and once more are on the point of emerging from the cellar position in the American League and shoving the Browns therein. • * • Chief Meyers’ war club was a factor in the Giants’ 4 to 1 victory over the Pirates. Demaree’s own error pre vented him from coating the Pittsburg- ers with whitewash. * * • In a game characterized by slow field ing and heavy hitting, the Reds defeat ed the Braves yesterday. The Reds used three twirlers and the Braves two. The former made fifteen hit6 and twelve runs, while the Braves laced out nine teen safeties and eleven tallies. • * • Timely hitting gave the Athletics a 4 to 1 victory yesterday over the White Sox. Shawkey, the Athletics’ recruit, was taken out of the game In the sev enth inning, but gets credit for the vic tory. He was wabbling badly just then and Chief Bender took up thp pitching role and held the Chicagoans safe. * * • Those Cleveland merchants who pledged themselves to turn over $100,000 in real money to the Naps provided they won the pennant this year may now pro ceed to spend that money on them selves. The Naps are seven and one-half games in the rear of the leaders and nothing outside of a miracle will give them the pennant. • • • The Naps, by the way, when oppos ing the Senators ought to change tneir name to Snaps. The Washington ag gregation banded the Clevelanders a fourth straight defeat yesterday, and now are right on the heels of the sec ond place Clevelanders. • » • The Senators-Naps game yesterday, by the way, was about as weird a bat ting game as ever was staged The Senators got only four hits off the Nap twirlers, yet won In easy fashion. The Naps were leading in the seventh In ning, 3 to 0. when the Senators went to bat. Although the Senators got only two hits in that inning they pushed seven runs across the plat** Reason: The Nap pitchers donated six bases on balls In that session. * * * Hopper, a new pitcher of the Cardi nals, made his debut against the Phil lies yesterday, and the Phillies prompt ly de-butted him for six singles, two triples, two home runs, eight tallies, and the game. ♦ * • Daubert, of the Dodgers, who is run ning Cravath, of the Phillies, a close race for batting honors In the old league, made a slight gain yesterday, getting a .500 batting average for the day. while Cravath had to content himself with m SPEED N EW YORK, Sept. 12,-r-If any fans are losing sleep over the probabilities of the Giants being beaten out of the flag, it might in terest them to know' that all the Giants need to reasonably clinch the pennant is to travel at a .500 clii> until the end of the season. Even should they play at a .400 gait for the remainder of the campaign they are reasonably sure of the flag. This morning the Giants have won 89 games and lost 43. The club still has 22 games to play. The Phillies have wonu 78 games and lost 49. They still must play 27 games. Should the Giants break even on their re maining 22 games, they would have 100 victories against 54 defeats. In order to beat this performance, the Phillies would have to win 23 of their remaining 27 games, an .852 clip. Should they win only 21 of their games and the Giants break even on their 22, New York still would win by a game. If the Giants played .400 per cent ball between now and the end of the season, they would finish with 98 vic tories and 56 defeats. To defeat them the Phillies would have to win 21 and lost only 6, a .778 clip. If they only won 19 and lost 8, they would be de feated by a game. The Giants still can be beaten out, but there is very little chance left to head them off. Food for Sport Fans ~L By GEOHQS K. PHAIR. Gotham Promoter After Big Battles NEW YORK, Sept 12.—Four of the leading heavyweights met Manager Gib son in the Garden yesterday and vainly tried to arrange matches. Gunboat Smith was ready to sign articles to box Frank Moran, but the latter refused to post a $1,000 forfeit which caused a hitch. Sam Langford and Joe Jeanette were apparently ready to agree upon terms, hut when Gibson produced pen and ink Langford’s manager, Joe Woodman, could not be found. Gibson will make another attempt to-day to bring Smith and Moran together, also to sign up the Tar Baby and ids ancient rival. Packey McFarland and Tommy Mur phy will box in the Garden early next month. Vanderbilt Eleven Starts Work Monday NASHVILLE, TENN., Sept. 12.— Work will begin with Vanderbilt’s foot ball team Monday. The team is short five of last year’s regular squad, the losses including Hanlage and Collins, the brilliant, halfback. The soredule follows: October 4—Maryville College at Nash ville. October 11—Central of Kentucky at Nashville. October 18.—Henderson College at Nashville. October 25.—University of Michigan at Nashville, November 1. University of Virginia at Charlottesville. November 8.—University of Tennessee at Nashville. November 15.—Aujjurn at Birming ham November 27.—University of the South at Nashville. AUTUMN. The word autumn is derived from the English noun autumn, which means autumn.. Another reason why it is called autumn Is that It appears In the almanac every autumn under that name. Autumn is a season densely populated by football, which same is a pastime entirely surrounded by noise. Foot ball Is not necessary to noise, but noise is absolutely necessary to football. For example: If you were to meet an enemy in a dark alley and proceed to kick a few lungs and esophagi out of his system you would be arrested for assault w'*h intent to kill. But If you performed the same operation in a stadium with 20 000 leather-lunged youths chanting his requiem, you would be carried off the field amid glad hosan nas. your photograph would be hung in the college gym and you would be made a member of the All-American team (provided you were a student at Yale). Still, football i8 not without its re deeming qualities. We know a young man whose parents once gave him up as a bum job. But the lure of foot ball was so strong that he entered college, studied assiduously for four years and now holds the proud position of bouncer in one of our leading tango Joints. Autumn is also the time when base ball players cease from grumbling over meals at $2 per scoff and browse in nectar and ambrosia at 25 cents per browse. P.S.—They pay the 25 cents, them selves. Speaking of football,* a scribe arises to wonder whether Walter Camp has nicked his All-American team. It might be said without fear of successful con tradiction that Mr. Camp will not do thusly until he Gias learned who will play on the Yale team Looking over recent box scores one is led to suspect that Rollie Zeider has developed bunions on his fielding aver age. Just as we begin to congratulate our selves that the Balkan trouble is over in walks Yussif MahmOuta. As C. Dry- den would say, Curses! Louis Heilbroner, who runs the Cen tral League, has issued an edict against comical baseball. It is a good thing St. Louis is not on Louie’s circuit. Some one has started a rumor that Jake Stahl will be the next manager of the Browns. Gosh, Jake, but some body hates you! Miller Huggins is said to be suffer ing from a bad cold It is also rumored that he is suffering from a had job. THE ANCIENT PANHANDLER. .4 stranger stopped me on the street. "/hive you a match?” quoth he. And as I paused the stranger laid a grimy hand on me. Hut when I offered him a match he looked a look of seorn. Arid said, "I hare not had a hit to eat since Monday morn." And at the stranger's tale I felt a sympathetic thrill. "Oh, take this matih box, sir," said /, '‘and you may cat your fill." A slant at the standing of those Bos ton Braves reminds us that even the worm sometimes sits up and makes a holler. FATE. Four years he trod the football field and beat the foe full sore. He fractured forty foenu n's arms and twenty ankles more. He walked upon a hundred necks and broke a dozen spines. And rhorth’d as his fallen foes were carried to the lines. Four years hr battled safe and sound, nor ever' split his lip. And then one day he passed away a victim of the pip. J. Bean Vacationing In Little Old N. Y. Joe Bean, general director of ath letics at the State University, and erstwhile famous coach at Marist College, sends greetings to The Georgian from New York, where he ist spending a well-earned vacation. ‘‘Good for the Crackers,” says Joe. who has been noting progress in the daily prints, even so far from home. “They certainly deserved to win," he adds, showing how well he has kept up with the situation. EMPIRE LEftGUE F PRESIDENT W AYCROSS, GA.. Sept. 12.— There is a strong probability of Umpire Derrick, one of the Empire League umpires during the season recently closed, becoming pres ident of the Empire League. This statement was made here to-day by baseball enthusiasts who have been discussing the matter with directors for a week. The performance of Umpire Der rick made many friends for him, and the fans here and in several other cities* of the league are known to favor his selection for president. It is quite likely that the directors will c *‘ttle the president matter at a met ing to be held In October. If Der rick is not named it is certain a non resident of the members of the leaguo will be named. One of the most important changes to be made in the league rules, ac cording to the advance dope, will be the Increase in salary limit from $1,000 to $1,200. or an amendment to the salary limit providing for a limit of $1,000. excepting the salary for a manager. It is quite certain also that the league will open in April, probably about the 20th. instead of May 1, closing earlier. The schedule for tin* 1914 season Is going to be carefully planned and such mix-ups ns resulted from the 1913 schedule will be avoided. There Is no doubt whatever of the league lasting now. Several cities are clamoring for admission. Chief among these are Dothan, Ala., and Dublin. Ga. Both cities want to get in and the suggeMtlon has been made to make the league an eight-team one by taking in Dothan and Dublin or two towns in which baseball is desired. The present members of the league will all stick. TWO YANK HURLERS GO. NEW YORK, Sept. 12 —The New York American League club has re leased two of its young pitchers to the Jersey City club of the Interna tional League. The pitchers are George Shears, a left-hander, and Paddy Martin, secured from the Law rence (New England) team. AT DRUGGIST8.0R TRIAL BOX BY MAIL50* FROM PLANTER 93 HENRY ST.

Jack is billed for twelve rounds to a decision with the Chicago Italian and intends to take no chances. The Winnipeg paer* are billing the affali as for the middleweight cham pionship of Canada and a packed house is predicted. Forty Gridiron Men Start Work at Yale NEW HAVEN, CONN., Sept. 12.—The thud of the pigskin was heard on Yale grounds yesterday. About forty candi dates on the Blues 1913 eleven reported for practice under direction of Hea/1 Coach Howard Jones, Yale’s first sal aried president football instructor. Pre liminary training has been under way since the first of the month at Siascon- set and Newport. As Head Coach oJnes’ assistants there were Captain Douglas Beimeisler, an all-American end, and Carl Gallauer, who played in the line in last year’s eleven. Prospects for a strong eleven are somewhat better than usual There is much seasoned material. The hardest problem is to find a quarterback, a po sition at which Yale was weak all last year. The team will have two good drop kickers—Pumpelly, whose wonder ful hooting defented the Princeton game last year, and Guernsey, who showed ap titude as a freshman.
