PAPPUS STOPS VKNDY MAKES
UNDERWOOD IN ELEVENTH HOUR
Jimmy Puts Game Nashville Boy
Away With Left to Solar Plexus
in Great Battle.
By Harry Lewis.
B OXING like a little champion,
Jimmy Pappas, the wonderful
Greek bantam, stopped Kid
Underwood, of Nashville, in the
eighth round of a scheduled ten-
round bout at The Georgian News
boys’ Club last night. The blow that
put Underwood away was a ripping
left to the solar plexus that was as
pretty a knock-out blow as we have
seen in a long while.
Underwood, in defeat, was far from
a disgraced boy. His gameness was
remarkable, and he fought hard from
the start until the finishing blow
landed.
Never before have Atlanta fans
witnessed such a piece of fighting
machinery as this 114-pound Pappas
boy. His wallops are all hard and
timely, and his clever ducking ability
is a big treat.
The boys fought mostly at long
range for the first three rounds, with
Pappas having a shade on points. In
the fourth round both boys lost their
heads and swung wildly in the cen
ter of the ring. They showed in this
round that they had little love for
each other.
The remainder of the battle was
one continual swatfest, with Pappas
slowly but surely beaming down his
heavier foe. Finally, in the eighth
session, after the boys broke from
a clinch, Pappas suddenly let loose
a terrific left to the solar plexus.
Underwood ,was sent clean off his feet
to the canvas, out cold. The blow did
not travel more than six inches.
Pappas and Underwood deserve
much credit for the battle they put
up. Underwood proved that he is as
willing and as game a fighter as we
have around here. As for Pappas, too
much can not be said for this little
fellow. It will take a Kid Williams or
a Kid Herman to beat him.
Five hundred fans packed The
Georgian Newsboys’ Club room to
witness the mill. They were well re
paid for tneir trouble. The rival bat
tlers were given a great hand at the
finish.

Putnam Will Play Halfback Posi
tion Against Virginia Eleven
This Afternoon.
N ashville, Oct. 31—An eiev-
enth-hour change in the Van
derbilt line-up by shifting Put
man from end to the halfback oppo
site Captain Sikes in an effort to put
more power into the Commodore at
tack created a mild sensation on the
campus. Reams was placed at the
end position, which Putman held. The
eleven ran through final practice yes
terday for their game with Virginia
to-day.
Putman played in splendid form at
half during the game with the Tar
heels, picking his opening in handy
fashion and showing a disposition to
dodge tacklers that convinced the
coaches he would be of more assist
ance on the offense in the baekfield.
He is a hard man to injure and fights
for every inch of ground.
• « «
C HARLEY BROWN ha.s entirely
recovered from the injury to his
side which he received in the North
Carolina game. Josh Cody has im
proved wonderfully in backing up the
line against the reserves. His tack
ling has been deadly. His tendency
to be sucked out by playing too close
to the line of scrimmage has almost
entirely disappeared and the giant
tackier is expected to prove a stumb
ling block for Mayer and Gooch.
* * *
\17HILE the coaches are still some-
what disappointed over the
team's failure to develop the standard
of scoring power which has been
hoped for, the fact that practically all
of the ailing Commodore stars wiil
enter the game in good condition has
occasioned much gratification. Rear
ing Ammie Sikes, the Commodore
captain, is expected to keep the Vir
ginians in trouble with his punting,
which appears to improve with every
game. He has shown wonderful form
with his kicks, being able to get that
peculiar tumbling motion which
makes the punts so difficult to hold.
Following is Vanderbilt’s line-up:
Reams, left end; Cody, left tackle;
Philips, left guard: Huffman, center;
C. Brown, right guard; Warren, right
tackle; Cohen, right end; Currey,
quarterback; Sikes, left halfback;
Putman, right halfback; Carman,
fullback.
Clabby Strives to
Hold Weight for Chip
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.—Jimmy
Clabby will not box to-day in prepara
tion for bis battle with George Chp next
Friday night. This will be his second
I layoff. Manager Larney Lichtenstein
] gives as an excuse that he does not
| want to send Clabby too low down in
the weight scale until shortly before
the match.
j Chip donned the gloves yesterday for
six rounds, three apiece with Jim Cam
eron and Joe Chip.
Even money continued to rule on the
forthcoming struggle, with the announce
ment that there was Clabby money on
Land. This probably means that Clabby
will be a slight favorite.
Athletic’s President
To Join Tourists
M. Reed Says
+•+ +•*!•
“Pinch Spitter”
By O. B. Keeler.
A MONG the other returning wan
derers from the Big Tent is our
old friend Milton Reed, of the
Phillies. Milton blew in the other
day, and under a slight cross-exami
nation unbosomed himself of some
opinions concerning the result of the
late World Series, which left the Ath
letics and a whole mess of alleged
sport experts flat on their backs,
chirping feebly for first aid and ice
water.
Following is Milton’s dope, in a
nut-shell you might say, seeing the
column it is in.
4 4*
B RIEFLY, Milton says it was Bill
James did it. We had an im
pression that Rudolph was there, too,
and that Hank Gowdy was hovering
around in the neighborhood, and Milt
agrees with all that, and chucks in J.
Evers and Rabbit Maranville for good
measure. Then he comes back to
William James and explains.
444
ti’T'HE Athletics wore sort of look-
* ing for Rudolph and his slow
curve to beat them,” says Milton, ‘‘but
they certainly counted on romping
with James and his fast one. They
can hit speed, under normal condi
tions, and when the big boy came
through with a game that made them
look like bushers. geting only one real
hit and not a run, it busted them wide
open and took the starch out or them
for the rest of the journey. They
never had a chance after the second
game, when Plank’s one-run perform
ance wasn’t good enough to win.”
444
F AIR enough. That sounds plausi
ble. Now Mr. Reed will explain
how James did it—for it's a cold fact
that the Athletics ordinarily are fond
of fast pitching.
444
GO ILL JAMES has two big assets
*-*besides mere speed,” says Mil-
ton. “Goodness knows I batted against
lames Did It
I-
Beat Athletics
him enough to find ’em out, too. For
one thing, he is a trifle w T ild. That
may not sound like an asset until you
get up in front of that human gatlir.g
gun with the knowledge that he may
let one slip accidentally that will take
your bean off. Apologies don't help
after that—and you can bot that no
man living is going to crowd the
plate and stick his cleats in the
ground when Big ’1 is cutting loose,
lie is Just wild enough to keep
thoughts of the hereafter In a bat
ter’s mind—and that takes up some
of his attention, you bet.”
4 4 4
ASSET NO. 2, says Milton, is a
** corking spitter, over which Bill
has fully as much control as a fast
one.
"When you have that big wolf three
and two," says Milton, “don’t kid
yourself that he’s going to shoot up a
groover. It starts like it, 11 right,
but every time—by what I’ve seen—
he whips that spitter straight up the
groove and when you swing it simply
ducks, and you wall: back to tne
bench. That’s all. I had him in the
hole a dozen times last season, and
every single time the last pitch was
a terrific spitter—and it made me look
pretty sick, mostly. I imagine the
Athletics felt that way, too.”
4 4 4
S O that’s it. Speed, a bit of salu
tary wildness, and a spitter that
he dares to shoot in the pinch. Well,
and that sounds as reasonable as any
thing we've heard yet—and it cer
tainly is first-hand information. Mil-
ton will continue his study of Mr.
James’ style next season, when, under
Pat Moran, he takes u his work in
the Philadelphia Infield, for which he
was carefully groomed this year.
“But I don’t believe I will ever get
used to that breaking spitter, when
the count'ls three and two.” says Mil-
ton. “It’s a stock saying that the
pitcher is in the hole at that stage,
but not Bill .Tames. The batter is in
the hole, and that’s a cold fact.”

"Peace is just as far away as ever,”
he said, when asked if there was a
chance for the two warring baseball
factions to get together. “The Federal
League is going right along preparing
for the 1915 season.

Regulars Ready for the Combat
By W. A. Cunningham.
(Coach Georgia Football Team.)
A THENS. GA., Oct. 31.—By mak
ing the trip from Starkville.
Miss., to Athens in easy stages,
the Mississippi aggregation arrived
here Friday evening in splendid
shape. Coach Chadwick reports his
men in fine fettle and capable of put
ting up a scrap for the victory in to
day’s game.
This team brings a hefty aggrega
tion, it being difficult to determine
from their size which are the regu
lars and which the second string men.
Fortified with plenty of substitutes,
Mississippi can stand the loss of sev
eral veterans without lessening the
team’s strength. Their coach gives
out the official line-up as: Wells, cen
ter; Spurlock and Rainey, guards;
Ellard and Potter, tackles; Gaddy and
Shaw, ends; Kinney, quarter; Kim
ball and McArthur, halfbacks, and
Jackson, fullback.
4 4 4
O PPOSED to this arrangement will
find the following Georgia play
ers: Henderson, center; Conyers and
Garmany, guards; Thrash and Mc
Connell. tackles; Thompson and Fox,
ends; Paddock, quarter; Peacock and
Holtzendorf, halfbacks, and Hitch
cock, fullback.
A comparison of the individual
merits would be impossible, for none
of the Mississippi players have ap
peared against Georgia previous to
the gimp to-day. Reports have it
that Noble, Gaddy, Kimball and Kin
ney are the short dash men on the
track team, with Potter and McAr
thur performing at the weights. Kin
ney and Gaddy have been noted as
splendid basketball performers, w’hile
Wells is the best track man in the
South. Take thi9 evident speed into
consideration and add the published
w eight of the team and there is found
a most versatile and powerful aggre
gation of pigskin artists.
4 4 *
THE Georgia average weight will
* be around 171 pounds if the
heavier players are used, and any
substitution will lower the average.
Nor can the Georgia team boast of
the speed with which Mississippi
seems so well fortified. Paddock and
Thompson are the main reliance when
quick, speedy action is required. The
team from Mississippi is a veteran
aggregation, many of the players fin
ishing their fourth year of college
football. With the exception of Hen
derson and Paddock, who are con
sidered veterans, as they have three
years* experience, the average from
this standpoint would hardly reach
one season’s experience. Garmany,
Thrash, McConnell, Fox, Holtzendorf
and Peacock are playing their first
season, with Hitchcock, Logan and
Thompson players of last season only.
* 4 4
T HIS is a hard game to forecast, as
there is no way of making a
comparative estimate of the respec
tive teams. Mississippi seems deter
mined to win. They have announced
their purpose beforehand and since
their arrival they continue confident.
Georgia also is determined, and will
fight to the last ditch to repel these
invaders from the west. That a good,
hard-fought game seems assured has
resulted in much Interest and a good
crowd is certain to witness the battle.
The officials, finally selected after j
much argument and little controversy, j
will be McAllister, Tennessee, ref
eree; Blake, Vanderbilt, umpire; Rob
bins, Mercer, head linesman.
