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. At center are the scrappy A1 Lneb. who is heavier than last year ami < an hold his own with most any of them; Patterson. the Chattanooga High School man, and Trawick, a big 200-pounder from last year- scrubs. Rig Ed Means will be on one guard, while Morrison. Merville and (Job - man will mix It for the other The team will be well fortified .it tackles by Rainey, a hefty sub of la* xenr; Johnston, the Chattanooga crack; Spence, a big 2(H)-pounder, and Mallory, the I^ouisville High Scho d star Any two of these' men will average 180 pounds and will he hard to get by, ns they are aggreasive be- *ide« Many Out for Ends. The ends will he taken car* of by Cushman, the Chattanooga speed merchant; Lucas, a fast man; Moore, a last year's scrub Heard and Rels- ntder. who is a good dropklcker, ami will be a valuable man for that rea son. 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 ing power which has been lacking so long The quarterback position Is uncer tain as yet. There are several good men out for the place, hut most of them are too light The^ tackling dummy has been in use for two days now and the men are getting their muscles In aha pc for the harder work. Charging pra< tire and falling on the hall have been going on everv day and with a few days of srrimmage. beginning nex* week, they will b* in tiptop shape for the first game.

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 ' New Orleans first -sacker. on whom •he Vols' chief had gotten sweet.

GREAT FALLS WINS RAG. IH Sept, 15 The season of the Cnion Asociation of- fi- iall\ . !os*d to-day here with games at s< l«ak<\ Great Falls and Heir ns. Great Falls takes the pen nant with Salt Fake as the conten der. 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. * • • CCANDAL has trailed Burns In ^ other directions There whs a row xx hen be failed to battle Bob Fitzsimmons at Es*ington. Pa., and there was much *our talk around here xvhen Mike Schreck was bat tling at bis best and Tommy re fused to meet him Nasty telegrams were produced to *hoxv that Burns wanted to “talk it over" with John Wille. but all of this was forgot ten when Burns won the heavy- xvelght championship by defeating Marvin Hart. • • • 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. • • t ’THE end of the baseball races is * a bit too near us to prove very exciting. One league or the other max pull a close finish, hut B isn’t likelx. Those birds out in front are used to the fire and nothing is going to stop either of them—seriously. [ THEY'LL HAVE A ED8D ELEVEN 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. Baseball Summary. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Games To-day.
