THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 7 <S 1 TECH FOOTBALL SQUAD SECURES 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 Oh, What’s t he Use! Mutt Never Was a i Dog Catcher Oopyr,rht ' m ' by 8tircompani By“Bua 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.

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 have been heard from an athlete who played on a St. Louis team. Reports from Philadelphia Indicate that Ed Walsh posed for several snap shots. This shows that Ed Is In his old-time form. Occasionally the expected happens. For instance. Willie Ritchie has aciln called off his scrap with Freddie Welsh. Mr Ritchie announces that he will meet Mr. McFarland after he has fought Mr. Welsh The only way Mr. McFar land can do business with Mr. Ritchie is to lure him up an alley. Mr. Neihaus, who pitched some regu lar baseball for the Cardinals, hails from Rattle Creek. This alone demonstrates the intrinsic worth of Breakfast Food. (Advt.)

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 W. C. Warren, 2 up and 1 to play. Fourth Flight (Semi-finals)—G. L. Simpson defeated E- D. Richardsn, 5 j up and 4 to play. 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.

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. • • • 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 younger players. “Jake” Orr in particular making some extremely brilliant 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 terday, when Hallman and Hall, re 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. • * • npf i K three events to-day bring to- * gether Smith and Brooks in the challenge match at singles, with Mansfield and Smith playing for the doubles title against Brooks and Bartlett.

Walters Hands Out Beating to Denny NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 13.—Billy Walters, Chicago welterweight, made it two wins over Young Denny, of this city, here last night. Outside of one round, the first. Walters was the better man. In six of the ten rounds the Windy City boxer established a clean lead.

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.
