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 linea
Jim is a bear for athletics—and
then some. He is of the tali, 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.

“/ got a pass” the young man said,
and chortled in his glee,
“/ got a pass to Murphy's park for
nothing,” chuckled he.
“And why?” said /. “Dost know a
guy who is a baseball scribe?
Or one who stings the baseball gents
with many a jest and gibe?”
Quoth he: “/ know a sporting guy
who is my bosom pal;
He kids with Johnny Evers and he
eats his meals with Cal.
He handed me a ticket and it never
cost a cent.”
Quoth 1: “Pray tell me truly of the
places where you went.”
He, told me of a dozen spots where
things were flowing fasti
And waiters laid their eyes on him
und lashed him to the mast.
He smiled a smile of triumph, though
/ 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
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 «* - n
called off his scrap with Freddie Welsn.
Mr. Ritehle 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, bails from
Battle Creek. This alone demonstrates
the intrinsic worth of Breakfast Food.

The fourth flight still has one of its
semi-finals unplaye^, but that match

Advance notices pf the champion
ship match promise a contest worthy
of a large gallery, which It probably
Will attract. Adair turned In the low

things are expected by the Yale coaches

Smith Reaches Challenge Round
*•+
Last Cotton States TennisTo-day
T HERE was not a slip in the
Grand Old Dope as adminis
tered in the Cotton States ten
nis championships at East Lake yes
terday. Carleton Smith won his fin*!
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 Alleft 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 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 went into- extra
games, both men playing at top speed
and extracting round after round of
applause from the gallery, the larreft
that fciad watched ihe Play 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 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
Atlanta Athletic Club, lost in rather
easy fashion to Ramspeck and Orr.
* * *

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.
Although he put up a clean and cred
itable fight, the local youth was clearly
outfought In practically every round ex
cept the first, in which he caught Wal
ters off his guard x by a tigerlike jump
across the ring
Denny took what probably Is the worst
lacing he had ever been called upon to
assimilate in a ring.

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.
