FUST JIM PREAS
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 arid 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 lines.
Jim is a bear for athletics—and
then some. He is of the tall, rangy
and rugged type known as the “nat

he Use! Mutt Never Was a i

r ’ Fisher
ural athlete,” six feet and a half tall,
scaling 192 in his birthday clothing—
another Henry Dlsbrough 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.

He handed me a ticket and it never

Quoth I : “Pray tell me truly of the

Joe Tinker will get a new contract

A great many athletes dislike to travel

have been heard from an athlete who
played on a St. Louis team.
Reports from Philadelphia Indicate

For instance. Willie Ritchie has aciln

AT EAST LAKE
FI GULF 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 3 to play. The final match in
the first flight will be 36 holes.
In the second flight, Perry Adair
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. I
Warren defeated W. Markham, 6 up i
and 4 to play; Winter Alfriend de
feated H. M. Ashe, 1 up.
(Finals)—Winter Alfriend defeated

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.

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 he
took his share of the games in the
second set, runnintr 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 plavhig at top speed
and extracting round *after round of
applause from the gallery, the largest
that had watched the nlav 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.

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 younger
players. “Jake” Orr in particular

cross-court shot®, while Ramspeck’s
returns periodically showed flashes of
excellent form
The semi-finals In the doubles
turned up a reversal of the dope yes

garded as two of the most promising
players among the younger set in th *
Atlanta Athletic Club, lost in rather
easv fashion to Ramspeck and Orr.

Errors Prevent Bushers Winning
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 couki not score there
after.
Smith and Bisland showed off in
remarkable fielding, Wallop handling
ten chances and the sensational Bis
land an even doaen 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 aftHinoon. The attend
ance has been large.
