another Henry Disbrough Phillips

And the acquisition is bound to
mean a tremendous boost for the
Tech backfleld, 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

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
bfg 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

candidate whose advent had been a
subject of speculation and some doubt.

K noxville, tenn , sept, is.—
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 th»* 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.

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

and interesting contest.
The fourth flight still has ,ne 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

ney, as well as the most important.

Yale Expects Much
Of Kicker Pumpelly
NEW HAVEN, CONN.. Sept 13.—Great
things are expected by the Yale coaches
this year of Howard Pumpelly, who as a
substitute last year made a 51-foot
drop kick, believed to be the longest
ever made. Pumpelly has been doing
some astonishing booting during the past
few years and the coaches are giving a
large part of their time to further de
veloping him.
The squad of candidates will not be
sent into scrimmage work until next
week, the coaches being satisfied to drill
them just now in passing and falling on
the ball.

1LADELPHIA. Sept. 13. There
jloom to-day in the training camp
mnsylvania team over the an-
ement that Walter Craig, one of
wrongest candidates for guarter-
positlnn. would not be able to play
hp nf an injury sustained to his
last year.
T HERE was not a slip in the
Grand Old Dope as adminis
tered in the Cotton States ten
nis championships ut East Lake yes
terday'. Carleton Smith won his -final
match and the singles section of the
tourney, while Mansfield and Smith
captured the doubles. Now the final
blaze of fireworks will take place to
day, when Smith plays off the chal
lenge match with Lee Allen Brooks,
of Birmingham, present title holder,
and Smith and Mansfield settle the
doubles championship in a challenge
match with Brooks and Bartlett, also
of Birmingham.
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 Lawford
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 h*
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 went into extra
games, both men playing at top speed
and extracting round after round of
applause from the gallery, the largest
that had watched the nitty thus fa-
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.
* • •
T HE final match of the doubles
went rather easily to Mansfield
and Smith, who defeated Ramspeck
and Orr in straight sets, the match
being enlivened by frequent though
unavailing spurts by the youngpr
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 moat promising
players among th^ younger set in th^
Atlanta Athletic Club, lost In rather
rasv fashion t*o Ramspeck and Orr.

T HE three events tn-day bring to
gether Smith and Brooks in the
I challenge match at singles, with
j Mansfield and Fmith playing for the
doubles title against Brooks and
