Oh, What’s the Use! Mutt Never Was a Dog Catcher

Riverside's Star Athlete Boosts
the Outlook for 1913 at
Grant Field.
S CORE a victory for Tech before
the season’s first scrimmage—
Jim Preas will be wearing the
Old Gold and White this year!
The prize package of all Southern
prep school athletes arrived in this
town this morning from Johnson
City, Tenn. His welcome was among
the most notable ever staged at the
well-known flats, now commonly call
ed Grant Field.
If there is a college or university in
the South that wasn’t after Jim Peas
its name and rating escape the writer
of these line
Jim is a bear for athletics—and
then some. He is of the tall, rangy
and rugged type known as the “nat
ural athlete,” six feet and a half tall,
scaling 192 in his birthday clothing—
another Henry Disbrough Phillips
with as long a build, if a shorter and
less symmetrical moniker.
And the acquisition is bound to
mean a tremendous boost for the
Tech backfield, both in speed and
weight.
Preas is not only a football man.
He is a track athlete of all-around
ability, a wonderfully speedy man, a
crack baseball player and a wonder
at basket ball. He is another Jim
Thorpe, by every account.
And now he is a Tech student.
Two other valuable acquisitions
blew in this morning, too.
Carpenter, a giant from Conyers,
scaling six feet two by 196 pounds,
and Churchill, a huge Texan with a
big reputation, shared in the wel
come accorded Jim Preas, and went
over to the gym to be measured for
their coming-out duds.
And to add to the general air f
hope, Jean Patton got in this morn
ing from Chattanooga—another likely
candidate whose advent had been a
subject of speculation and some doubt.
The Tech debutante season ap
pears to be prospering.

and chortled in his glee,
“I got a pass to Murphy's park for
nothing," chuckled he.
‘‘And whyt" laid I. “Dost know a
guy who is a baseball scribef
Or one who stings the baseball gents
with many a jest and gibef”
Quoth he: “I know a sporting guy
who is my bosom pal;
Be kids with Johnny Evers and he
eats his meals with Cal.
Be handed me a ticket and it never
cost a cent.”
Quoth I: “Pray tell me truly of the
places where you went.”
Be told me of a dozen spots where
things were flowing fast
And waiters laid their eyes on him
and lashed him to the mast.
Be smiled a smile of triumph, though
I sadly shook my head.
‘It cost me fourteen dollars, but I
got a pass,” he said.
joe Tinker will get a new contract
next year, but there Is a rumor afloat
that he Is willing to trade a new con
tract for a new team.
A great many athletes dislike to travel
on the road, but no such sentiments ever

played on a St. Louis team.
Reporta from Philadelphia indicate
that Ed Walsh poaed for several snap
shots. This shows that Ed Is In his
old-time form.
Occasionally the expected happens.
For Instance. Willie Ritchie has aorin
sailed off his scrap with Freddie Welsh.
Mr Ritchie announces that he will

Is to lure him up an alley.

AT EAST LAKE
FOR GOLF TITLE
E ITHER George Adair or R. G.
Blanton will be the new golf
champion of the Atlanta Ath
letic Club by to-night, when the final
match will have been played in the
championship flight after a week of
excellent golf, marked by low scores
and close finishes.
Yesterday Adair and C. V. Rain
water met in the last of the semi
finals to decide which should play off
for the title with Blanton, who had
previously put W. R. Tichenor out of
the running. The match was close
and interesting, Adair winning, 3 up
and 2 to play. The final match in
the first flight will be 36 holes.
In the second flight, Perry Adait
kept up the spectacular golf that has
marked his play all through the pres
ent tourney, defeating C. J, Holditch,
4 up and 3 to play, and earning the
position of favorite in the finals for
the cup in the second flight
Winter Alfriend kept up his con
sistent winning game in the third
flight and came through the final
match a victor over W. C. Warren, 2
and 1, in an extremely well-played
and interesting contest.
The fourth flight still has one of its
semi-finals unplayed, but that match
and the finals should be finished be
fore to-night.
Advance notices of the champion
ship match promise a contest worthy
of a large gallery, which it probably
will attract, Adair turned in the low
card in the qualifying round, with
Blanton as next man, and unless the
form of one or the other slips in the
pinch, the match should prove the
closest and best-played of the tour
ney, as well as the most important.
Following is the summary of re
sults up to to-day's play:
First Flight (Semi-finals)—George
Adair defeated C. V. Rainwater, 3 up
and 2 to play; R. G. Blanton defeated
W. R. Tichenor, 1 up
Second Flight (Semi-finals)—Per
ry Adair defeated C. J. Holditch, 4 up
and 3 to play.
Third Flight (Semi-finals)—W. C.
Warren defeated W. Markham, 6 up
and 4 to play; Winter Alfriend de
feated H. M Ashe, 1 up.
(Finals)—Winter Alfriend defeated
W. C. Warren, 2 up and 1 to play.
Fourth Flight (Semi-finals)—G. L.
Simpson defeated E. D. Richardsn, 5
up and 4 to play.

Frankie Burns Has
Cinch With Denning
DENVER, Sept. 13.—Frankie Burns,
of Jersey City, had all the better of his
ten-round fight here last night with Earl
Denning, of Chicago.
C MITH’S final match was with Ed
^ Carter, and it was a grand exhi
bition by both sides.
Carter led off by missing his net
smashes, while Smith’s Lavrford
stroke, working in great shape, was
used in connection with accurately
placed shots that struck spurts of
pink dust from near the back line.
Smith won the first set, 6-2, in com
paratively easy fashion.
Then Carter spurted and by speedy
net play and terrific smashing he
took his share of the games in the
second set, running it into deuce, and
finally losing, 8-6. after a brilliant
struggle. .Smith led at the start of
the third set, but again Carter rallied,
and that set also w’ent into extra
games, both men playing at top speed
and extracting round after round of
applause from the gallery, the larv^t
that had watched the r»lay thus far.
Once more Smith's deadly Lawford
and accurate placing turned the bal
ance, and he took the last set, 7-5,
giving him the match and the right to
play for the title.

and Smith, who defeated Ramspeck
and Orr in straight sets, the match
being enlivened by frequent though
unavailing spurts by the younger
players, “Jake” Orr in particular
making some extremely brilliant
cross-court shots, while Ramspeck’s
returns periodically showed flashes of
excellent form
The semi-finals in the doubles
turned up a reversal of the dope yes
terday, when Hallman and Hall, re
garded as two of the most promising
players among the younger set In the

easy fashion to Ramspeck and Orr.

Errors Prevent Bushers Winning
K noxville, tenn., Sept. 13.—
The champion Crackers made it
one-all % with Knoxville yester
day afternoon, and they were pretty
lucky not to lose the second game of
the series as well as the first.
Gilbert Price, the sturdy left
hander of Bill Smith’s clan, pitched a
good game, but had nothing on Hall,
the Knoxville hurler, who suffered
defeat mainly because of two rank
errors in the first inning, which help
ed the visitors to three runs and the
game—for they could not score there
after.
Smith and Bisland showed off in
remarkable fielding, Wallop handling
ten chances and the sensational Bis-
land an even dozen without a skip,
noxville put on three fast double
plays, and another by the visitors
made the game, for the most part a
brilliantly played affair.
Harry Holland’s double in the first
inning followed a couple of errors
and scored two of the Crackers’
three runs.
The last game of the series will be
played this afternoon. The attend
ance has been large.
