BEEF I TECH
LINE ADDS HOPE
By Fullback.
T HE thin* that has handicapped
the Tech team for the past
three yearn is now a thing of
the past and Coach Helstnan has
men who will stack up with the beat
of them in weight.
Reef, in the line especially, has been
the crying need as the backs never
had a chance to make any headw»\
with a line in front of them that
would cave in before they got stariod
being outweighed from 20 to 30
pounds to the man.
It will be an entirely different
story this year. There are at least
five or six men trying out for each
position. But after the weeding out
has been accomplished, which, by tin
wav, will be a difficult proposition for
Heiaman, the men who are most like
ly to fight it out to a finish for i
place on the varsity are as follows
Three Out for Center.

Many Out for Ends.
The ends will he taken car* of by
Cushman, the Chattanooga speed

will be a valuable man for that rea

In the backfield Captain Cook will
take a half. Rig Gene Patton, the
famous PZast Tennessee halfback, will
be at full, while the other half lies
between Tommy Hancock, a last
year’s scrub. McDonald, a varsity
man of last year; Gardner, a scrub,
and Murphee, another I^ouisvllle star
who is leading the punters, shooting
his pretty spirals 45 and BO yards
down the field.
With Patton to do the line piling
ing and Captain Cook and the othet
half with the speed to circle the end*
the team will have the wonted driv

N ashville, tenn., sept. 15.—-
Now that the chief topic of
conversation in connection with
Southern Longue baseball has grown
to be a guessing contest as to what
club Johnny Dobbs will head next
season. Montgomery and Chattanooga
having been eliminated by Johnny’s
own statement, considerable specula
tion Is attached to a dark and mys
terious conference held in Nashville
between Dobbs and Barney Barnard,
of the Cleveland Naps, while the
Montgomery club was paying a final >
visit to the Vols.
Rill Schwartz and Barnard have
for many years been very close
friends, and the Cleveland mogul
never fails to drop around to sec the
Vols’ pilot whenever he happens to
be in Nashville. That’s what made
it seem strange to the Boy Manager,
when, one afternoon, during the last
series with the Billtkens. be walked
over to the visitors' bench to apeak to
Dobbs and. lo. and behold, there wit
Barney engaged in a very earnest
and low conversation.
Barney looked a little sheepish, but
never advanced any information as
to the nature of his chili-fest with
the Montgomery boss. And Schwartz,
after be bad passed the time of day.
and pulling bis sweater a little closer
a round him to protect himself from
the chilly weather (?), heat It back to
the Vols’ dll gout.
It didn’t take Schwartz long to put
two ind 'two together, after Dobbi
admitted that he and Barnard had
befit discussing some of the Pelican
j players, in answer to a request from
i Bill as to Dobbs’ opinion of Kratf. the

Bv Ed W. Smith.
W HY is it that the big men
of the ring, the heavyweight*,
have been the pests that have
stirred up trouble and more or 1c»m
have always been the disturbing
element In having the game
stopped In various place®? You’ve
noticed, haven't you. that big fel
lows usually are concerned when
trouble starts? This idea is sug
gested by the “confession” made
by Arthur Pelky, the man who was
in the ring with Luther McCarty
when the latter dropped dead in a
Calgary ring. Pelky says bis battle
with Tommy Burn*, a six-round af
fair of last March, was a “frame”
and that It was previously re
hearsed several times. Burns later
managed Pelky and a short time
ago announced that he intended to
take him to Europe and possibly
get on a match with Jack Johnson.
• • •
I70LLOWING recent fatalities in
* the ring this “confession.” even
If It is afterwards found to have 119
foundation, is going to do a whole
lot of harm. Unfortunately, the
target of Pelky'* remarks, who
makes vehement denial to the whole
thing, has been mixed up in pecu
liar looking affairs before and in
stantly that old scandal out in Los
Angeles between Tommy Burns and
Jack O’Brien, of Philadelphia, is
brought to mind when the former's
connection with this latest off
color scandal is uncovered. Burns
and O’Brien were matched out there
and later development* were to the
effect that Burns had agreed to
lei O'Brien stay the distance or let
him win or something of the kind.
As they were ready to start the
content Burns advised O'Brien that
the battle would have to he on the
level. O’Brien thereupon made a
desperate effort to have the bets
called off. Hut failed ami the ring
side scandal that ensued is *t!ll
being discussed out that way.

T HERE’S an old ringside saying
that the “bigger they are the
harder they tall " In the light of re
cent events xxe'll have to change
that to read: “The bigger thev are.
the less courage they have.'' At
least the assumption is that fixers
are entirely lacking in courage or
else they w ouldn't xx ant to fix Good
little men like Bat Nelson. Ad \Yol-
ga*.. Freddie Welsh. Packex Mc
Farland. Willie Ritchie, and dozens
of others w ** could name, have a
ways been content to «taml on their
own merit* and fight their on*t
loping if ibex must, but always
losing honorably.
M os ,I„
notable of all the scan
dalous fights of the ring that
entailed a lot of suspicion have been
among the bigger men. There was
an awful stench following the night
that Big McVey jumped Into the
ring the night Jim Corbett and Tom
Sharkey were b< xing and lost the
fight for Corbett on a foul. The
facts of the Wyatt Karp decision
in San Francisco the night Sharkey
i* supposed to have been beaten by
Bob Fitzsimmons on a foul are still
fresh in the minds of those who
follow siii'h matters, to say nothing
of the scandal that followed the
Jim Corbett-Kid McCoy encounter
at the expiration of the boxing law
In New York in 1899,
* • •
THERE was much trouble over
* the Jack Root-Tommx Ryan
battle in Philadelphia and more
recently almost everybody will re
call that scandal came out of the
Jack Johnson-Stanley Ketchel bat
tle on the coast, during which
Johnson “took” a knockdown from
his opponent when it didn't look
possible that Ketchel could knock
him down with the aid of a base
ball bat. So It looks as If the mon
umental faking has been done
among the big fellows, though
doubtless there are many entirely
honest and upright men trying to
battle their way into a prominent
place in that division. Probably
there are a lot of ,«»hady hoys among
the minor classes, too. but they cer
tainly never pulled off things a*
rotten as some of those shown by
the heavies.
• • •
IT BEHOOVES those Athletics to
* look a little out Mack's base
ball team can not lose many more
games, although they can continue
to do *0 safely unless the Cleve
land hunch brakes and wins now
and then while the Sox and a few
other teams are taking vigorous
wallops at the Philadelphia gang.
The Naps certainly have wilted sad
ly under the pre*ent strain, worse
even than did Mack’s crew. They
haven’t shown a high degree of
courage, that’s sure.

’THE end of the baseball races is
* a bit too near us to prove very
exciting. One league or the other

used to the fire and nothing is going

c
LEM SON COLLEGE, S. C., Sept.
15.—The fact that only the old
students have a* yet reported
at Olemson makes it impossible to
make a satisfactory prediction as to
the make-up of the Tiger team. Coles,
Kangeter and Turbeville will not be
back. Captain Gandy, nevertheless,
is quite hopeful over the prospect*
for a winning team.
Coach William* is here and he has
already inspired the men with hope.
The Tigers believe in Bob Williams,
and they work for him as they will
for no other coach. Coach Williams
is among the silent men when it
comes to giving out the dope, but
there is no more faithful worker to
be found on the gridiron.
The football field is full of candi
dates every afternoon. The men move
around like veteran*. There is plentv
of material among the old men, and
it is said that there are several prom
ising men among the recruits who are
to report next week.
Rip Major, the captain of last year’s
Auburn. Is the assistant coach. He
once wore a Clemson uniform and is
familiar with the Tiger tactics. Major
has starred at nearly every position
on a football team, and will render
valuable service in whipping the
Tigers into shape.
Clemson ha-’ a stiff schedule for
this fall, a* follows:
October 4 —Davidson at Clemson.
October It—Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
October 18 Auburn at Clemson.
October 29—South Carolina in Co
lumbia.
November 1—Citadel in charleston
November 8 -Georgia in Athens or
Augusts
November 15 -Mercer at Clemson.
November 27—Georgia Tech in At
lanta.
,T. B. Douthlt is the manager of
the team. He is arranging several
game* for the Second string of play
er*. There is considerable satisfac
tion here over the fact that Clinton.
Furman and Newberry have all en
tered the list*, and the Tiger* hope
that all these institutions may have
strong teams this fall.

NEW YORK Sept 15. The oft-at
tempted feat of swimming from Battery
Park to Sandy Hook in one tide was
accomplished yesterday for the first
time by Samuel Richards the Boston
amateur, who eovere<| the 25 miles in;
eight hours and twenty minutes.
He still was fresh at the end of the ]

It certainly must he a pleasant
surprise for a person to find a re
lief from long years of suffering,
especially when they have tried al
most every treatment on the mar
ket. Quaker Herb Extract and Oil
of"Balm are surprising these suf
ferers every day. There have been
thousands of bottles of the Quaker
Herb Extract sold in this city, and
the sale is Increasing every day.
What is the cause of this wonderful
demand"' Here is a report tha*
will explain, and others that you
read about every day.
Miss Florence Harris, who lives
with h»»r mother and fathei at 118
Lindsay street, has taken two and
one-half bottles of the Quaker
Herb Extract, and this has caused
her to expel a female tumor or
growth which she says positively
weighed in the neighborhood of
eight pound*. She said she tried
every doctor of any repute, with
the advice from each one that an
operation would he necessary. She
also states after this thing was re
moved she had to go to her family
physician and have several appli
cations made to overcome the irri
tation <aused by this trouble.
She could do walking of any kind
and could remain up for just a few
hours at the time buffered from
shortness of breath. She was vet
weak for some time after this thin
was expelled. Now. as I have jui
stated, there Is no doubt but some
thing was expelled, and no doul
she is sincere in her statemen
She is very enthusiastic over tP
results obtained.
