“"FARTO GO
BY JACK VEIOCK.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—The major
league pennant races are all over but
the shouting today.
The Wkite Sox have a lead of
. eight games over the second place
Indiang in the American League, and
the Reds, by virtue of their victory
over the Giants, are now nine games
ahead. It is only a question of time
now until the pennant races will be
over, for nothing short of an earth
quake can stop the pace-making
teams.
-a As the teams stand today the Sox
must win four of their eleven re-
Walning games tc vin the flag, pro
viding Cleveland should win twelve
straight. Should the Sox lose eleven
straight games the Indians would
‘, #till have to win nine out of twelve
to nose them out. |
The marathon in the National
League is a bit farther advanced be
cause the Reds have won more games
than the Sox. Sheuld the iants win|
all twelve of their remaining games,{
Pat Moran's boys would have to win
three of the nine they must play to‘
finish a nose ahead of New York, Me-
Graw has already conceded the pen
nant to the Reds.
1f the world’s series is to com
mence September 30, which is ru
mored along the baseball Rialto, the
Sox will have but one day to rest
*up for their battle against the Reds
In, addition to their series with the
Y‘nkeea. which opened at the Polo
grounds today, they must play three
games in Boston and then return
home to meet the Browns and De
troit Tigers in playing out their
schedule, which closes September 28.

Big Athletic Field
. .
At Emory University
Almost Completed
BEMORY UNTVERSITY, Sept. 16.
With the big athletic field almost
completed and the removal of the
college from Oxford, interest in
interclass athletics has received a
decided boost.
The removal of the school from
Oxford means that the entire stu
dent body will be on one campus,
«gnd in that way there will be more
“material for the various class
teams. The increased enrollment
to about 1,000 is also expected to
cause keener competition, and to
increase interest in sports.
The new athletic field that is
I rapidly being completed will have
\gfacilities for football, baseball,
track meets and field events, as
well as ample space for training.
The fieid is located in Druid Hills,
and is said to be one of the most
modern and spacious athletic fields
in the South.
Although intercollegiate athletics
are barred from Emory with the
exception of track and field events,
interclass athletics will no doubt
bhe extremely popular.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16—
Lena Styles, a youngster recently
secured by Connie Mack from the
Atlanta baseball club, came within
a foo tof tying a baseball game be
tween the Chicago White Sox and
Athletics yesterday.
With the Sox leading, 11 to 10,
the big fellow drove a long drive to
right, but Joe Jackson by a fast
sprint and leap pulled the ball
down. Had the ball been one foot
higher it would have gone over the
fence for a home run.
\ Pitcher Zinn, pinch hitting in the
~ last inning, sent the ball over the
right field fence with two men on
~ bases, making Philadelphia’s total
~ one short of putting the Mackmen
- On even terms.
Red Wingo and Ivy Griffin, both

This is the first of a series of stories on the conting world’s series writ

Edward Trowbridge Collins
stands today on the threshold of his
sixth world series
The flashy little White Sox second
sacker, in addition to enjoying the
distinction of being classed as the
greatest player of all time in his po
eition, also tops the l!ist with Jack
Barry as a veteran world's series
performer.
FFor fourteen years this phenom
enal player has been a consistent
star in the major leagues. For at
least ten of the fourteen years he
has been the bell cow of all second
basemen, and during those ten
years, including the season of 1919,
he has amassed a record for bril
lianoy and consistency that will
probably never be equaled.
Collins has already made a young
fortune out of world’'s series alone.
He has cut the melon in the big Oc
tober classic five times, starting
with the season of 1910, when he
starred as a member of Connie
Mack's famous Athletics.
In 1911, 1912 and 1914 Collins ca
vorted in the world’s series, wear
ing an Athletic uniform, and when
the White Sox annexed the Ameri
can League pennant and followed
by winning the world’'s title from
the Giants in 1917, Eddie was in on
the winners’ end of the purse.
Out of the five world's series in
which he has taken part he has
been a member of the winners of
the .world’s championship four
times. In the fall of 1914 he split
the losers’' end of the loot when the
Braves crushed the Mackmen in
four straight games.
NETS COLLINS $15,000.

* series against the Cincinnati Reds
to come he will add to his grand to
tal. A player of sound habits, the
White Sox star ranks tod:‘u as one
of the wealthiest players in the
game.
Collins is by no means a young
ster. On the second day of last
May he celebrated his thirty
second birthday, having been
born at Milleton, N. Y,
in 1887. But he is showing no sign
of failing. Over a stretch of 154 or
140 games, as the case may be, he
is a wonderful performer, day in
and day out. But put him in a
world’'s series and you have chain
lightning running rampant. His
world’s series records show that
his fielding, hitting, base running
and thinking in the cash classics
are almost uncanny. He is one of
the greatest money players that
ever lived.
No player in the history of mod
ern world's series has a record as
brilliant ag Collins. Many of the
stars of former series amassed bat
ting averages better than .300, A
few hit .400 or over, but only once.
Collins has hit as low as .214, his
mark against the pitching of the
Boston Braves' flingers in 1914, but
he has hit better than .400 on three
different occasions.
JACK BARRY HEADS LIST,
There is but one player who has
?m more world’s series pots than
ollins, He is Jack Barry, who
played in four series with the Ath
letics and one with the Red Sox in
1915. Barry was injured and kept
out of the series with Brooklyn in
1916, but shared in the purse. Col

Critic Sees
New Twist i
By “HAM.”
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 16.—An
other twist has been given to the
Keller Hasty case, which involved
the Atlanta and Mobile clubs.
Hasty pitched for the Philadel
phia Athletics last Thursday,
which makes it look as if he has
broken loose from his Maobile con
nections.
Hasty stuck to Mobile all the sea
son. He had his destiny in his own
hands, for until the courts decided
the case—and it hasn't been decided
yet—it simply was a matter of pos
session. Hasty, it is said, gave the
Mobile club the preference in the
quarrel because he is reported to
have said that Charlie Frank didn't
give him a chance at Atlanta.
But when the chance came for
him to piteh in the American
League he evidently jumped at it,
and now Frank seems to have the
upper hand in the controversy, for
the possession of Hasty by Connie
Mack means the same as if he were
right uncder Frank's wing, provided,
of course, that the courts don’t say
that Mobile is the only eclub that
holds title to him.
In that event John D. Logan, the
Mobile presidemt, may have about
the same claim against Mack that
Heinemann had against Frazee of
Boston, in the Hoyt case. Heine
mann won his case and is ‘said to
be getting a right sweet price for
Hoyt. Logan is said to have valued
Hasty at $3,000.
The big pitcher was beaten at
Philadelphia, but he hurled good
ball against the Detroit Tigers and
held them well after the first inning
when three singles and a wild piteh
gave them two runs,

"PREP GRID
|
By CHARLES SHOMNESY.
G. M. A, Tech High and Boys' High
have all landed plums in the way of
coaches for the onrushing grid sea
son. The men to be in charge this
year are close rivals to the famous
old gang of 1916 and 1917,
There are four teams entered in
the major division of the Atlanta
Prep League at present. This will
give the fans a chance to see four
contests between local grid elevens,
instead of the. usual three, as has
been the custom in the past.
There will be four coaches in
charge of the prep teams, all of whom
are mighty good men for the posi
tions. G. M. A. has landed Coach
Tolbert, formerly of G. M, C. He is
the one man who deserves most of
the credit for G. M. C.'s great show
ing in the past. He worked hard at
G. M. €, and this, coupled with the
great string of material always on
hand at the Milledgeville center, made |
a great name for the cadets in the
way of athletics. (
His material at G. M. A. this year
looks good. The College Pakk boys
are full of pep. They have been
working hard for the past week, The
success of Tolbert at G. M. A, is be
!nq watched. He was succeeded by'
“Whitey” Davis at % M s ‘
DAVID AT BOYS' HIGH.
Boys’ High has Coach David, who
was with G. M. A. last football sea
son and with Lanier for several
years before he went to G. M. A.
His work at College Park in 1918‘
was only fairly good. He had a weak
football team, a little stronger bas-‘
ketball team, a young whirlwind in
baseball and the best Prep track team
in the State.
He has a good bunch to work with
at Boys' High and an excellent man
at the head of his football eleven in
Jehn Stair, captain of the eleven.
l(!oach David is expected to deliver
this year, and no doubt will. He was
a stranger here last season and knew
nothing of his rivals. He is ac
quainted now, though, and with ma
ierial the Purple and White wat
riors should have the teamwork and
class that have marked the work of
Lanier in the past. l
TECH HIGH'S PROSPECTS.
Tech High has almost ae many“
coaches as players. These are three
men in the faculty who are helping
the boys, and two outsiders, Lewis
and Scott, of Virginia, and Fancher,
the old Boys’ High coach, are the
faculty men. The other two are
equally famous. Heisman has as
signed Charley Turner, captain of the
191% Tach baseball nine, to help the
Smithies. Charley is a mighty good
man, and with the old Wizard be
hind him he should teach the young
Smithies a good deal about the game.
THOMPSON TO AID.
Charley Thompson is the other. He
is at present somewhere between
here and Ohio, on his way to be dis
charged from the aviation corps. As
soon as this function is completed he
will return to work with the Smithies
for two or three days a week. Char
l‘:‘ Turner will work in conjunction
h Thompson. A rather peculiar
conjunction. Turner from Tech and
Thompson from Georgia. But they
are combined to make Tech High the
champions of the South.
At Fulton we have Guy A. Moore
formerly with Boys' High and with
more or less of a reputation. This
’is Fulton High's first year in foot
ball, and the work of both Moore
and Fulton will bear watching.
These four local schools are
strongly fortified in coaches and in
’materla.l. A good season should re
sult. r

Much talk is already going on around sporting circles regarding the
coming world series clash, Although the big classic is still about two
weeks off, interest is intense, and the chances are that the largest of all
baseball gatherings will be present when the Reds and Sox clash.
After securing my discharge from the military service I had a chance
to spend a few days in Chicago. While there 1 had an opportunity of
attending a meeting of several baseball men, one of whom was Charles
Comiskey, the popular owner of the Chicago Americans.
C‘omiskey has long been an idol .
with baseball fans in Chicago. They
call him the “Grand old Roman,”
and it seems that he is popular
with all those who know him. I
well remember the series back in
1904, between the Cubs and (Chicago
White Sox. I was a great booster
for the National Leaguers then, and
I couldn't figure out how a team
made up of Frank Chance, Johnny
- Kling, Johnny Evers, Joe Tinker,
~ Harry Steinfeld, Jimmy Sheckard,
' Jimmy Slagle and Frank ' Schulte
~ could loge to the White Sox. The
~ Cubs also had such moundmen as
! Mordecai Brown, Ed Reulback,
~ Urvie Overall, Jack Pfeister and
one or two other star hurlers.
- . -
It looked like a cinch for the Cubs,
the same as it did for the Ath
letics when they plaved the Braves
in 1914. Just before the first game
between the Cuhs and White Sox
on the old West Side Park in Chi
cago, Comiskey picked an oppor
tune moment to enter the clubhouse
of his warriors. This is the talk he
gave them. “Boys, you are going
up against a great club in this
series, but YOU'LL WIN, JUST
THE SAME. Go at them from the
jump, and never stop. | have asked
{our manager, Fielder Jones, who
e expects to pitch, and he tells
me Nick Altrock, which means that
Ed Walsh will ?o at them tomor
row, and you all know what that
means, | just want to wind up this
chat with a promise of a SIO,OOO
bonus for the team if you win."
With these words of encourage
ment, the White Sox were the
freshest ball club that ever en
. tered a big ser.ie:. in‘ my opinion.
.
I saw every one of those games, six
in number. The Sox won the first,
2 to 1, on the Cubs' home grounds.
Altrock opposed Brown in a great
hurling duel. The second went to the
Cubs, 7 to 1, if 1 remember correctly.
Comiskey's men then took the third,
and the Cubs evened matters by cop
ping the fourth. WitN each team
boasting of two victories, the White
Sox won the next pair, thereby an
nexing the world's series, George
Rohe, an unknown before that series,
‘was put on third base during those
contests, and he responded by being
the real hero of the series. His bat
alone decided two or three of those
games, and his tielding was also of a
high caliber.
] . 9. »
! There never was any comparison
between those two teams; still,
| Hugh Fullerton, who admitted the
. fuct, was one of the few ecritics
who picked the White Sox to win.
He did this because he knew that
the Sox Rad all the confidence in
| the world and were keyed up for
the fray. It surely was a tough
r blow for the Cubs and theigrooters.
|- - .
| The coming clash between the
White Sox and Reds is a hard one
to dope out, but one think is cer
iain, Comiskey is not going to be
caught napping. This shrewd
baseball magnate knows the game
from every angle, and, being an old
time star himself, he knows base
ball players. “Commy” has never
yet had his club beaten in a world
series, and, although we are not
picking ‘em to win over the Reds,
I can see “Commy” way off in
Chicago, already planning how to ‘
have his players at their very best
HARD WORK PLANNED
FOR VANDY CANDIDATES
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Sept. 16.—Al
though no new players reported for
duty at Dudley Field toward the tail
end of last week, seventeen prospece
tive Commodores went through the
buginess of tackling the dummy,
blocking, forward passing, punting
and running with the squad., Coaches
MceGugin and Manier were on the
field and took an active part in su
perintending the practise work of
their charges. Various training meth
ods will be followed until more of
the veterans return to the fold, when
scrimmage work and more strenuous
tactics in general will be followed.
To date seventeen men wearing the
Commodore regalia have made their
appearance on the field. While a
number of these men stand no show
to make the regular team, and others
do not even expect to make an ear
nest trial, several of the number on
hand are good prospects for a regular
berth,
MEN ON HAND.
Looking down the line of the men
who have already reported may be
found the following:
Josh Cody (line), Ralph McGill
(line), Tommy Zerfoss (backfield),
Frank Goar (line or backfield), James
Hirsig (lin2), James Britt (line or

In the squad work last week Lock

C‘ount Blair was on the field in

get into the game this week. Tom
Lipgcomb, Berryhill, Bunt Beasley,
Alf Adams and a flock of others are
also due in harness soon, and by next
Saturday 1 field of forty candidates
would not be at all surprising,

The “dream” that a certain pro
moter here, whose name need not
be mentioned, is seriously thinking
of forming a boxing club in At
lanta, made up of respectable eiti
zens and business people im this
city, under present boxing condi
tions here, is laughable. The story
from New York, stating that the
Army, Navy and Civilian Boxing
Board is planning such an organi
zation probably gave those “inter~
ested parties” the hunch, and they
were quick to get it into print. But
there's absolutely no chance of a
club of this kind being brought to
a success under the tactics that are
now being employed here. »

I wonder how long intelligent
boxing fans would stand for a pro
moter handing Pete Herman
or his pilot something like
$1,400, his share of the gate, even
Lefore Pete drew on a glove. Nev
erthelese, this is just what hap
pened here, Also, it is a known
fact that this same promoter
allowed Joe Levy, manager of
Hahn, to name Johnny Ritchie as
Hahn's opponent in their go in this
city, Both Ritchie and Levy hail
from Chicago. and the fans can
judge for themselves the result.
The same thing practically hap
pened in the Lawler-Loadman bout
at Poncey. Levy, NOT the pro
moter, picked Loadman as Lawler's
opponent, In addition to this, the:
fans have not forgotten that this
same promoter Xept the fact hid
cen from the fans that Kid Farat
outweighed Battling Budd twenty
pounds in their recent go, and said
r.othing about it until the night of
the bout. Then he made an an
nouncement to .the effect that
Louis Most, of Kansas City, Mo,
would lose a SIOO forfeit, when he
really gave up but SSO,

Above are true facts that can
not be 4denied. We predicted quite
a while ago that an attempt would
be made to “square” accounts with
the public for the Herman-Hahn
fiasco by staging local boys, but
the poor tactics of the “interested
parties” is even making this a fail
ure, Fine situation, when there are
people who will really try to “cover
Lp"” parties of this kind.

'a berth, but otherwise they join tne
ranks of the might-have-beens.
COOL WEATHER WANTED,
Quite a bit of training work must
necessarily be done before the first
game, which takes place on October
1 against Murfreesboro Normal. Josh
Cody, for instance, looks as heavy as
a truck horse, and is considerably
slowed up on account of the added
weight which he carries. Other men
are also too hefty for speed, but with
the hard course of work mapped out
during the next two and a half weeks
the Murfreesboro game should find
the majority of the crew in fine
fettle.
