AUTOS RACE AGAINST RECORD
FROM CHICAGO TO NEW YORK
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Sept. «.—Two attempt* are now being made at the "Will
o’ the Wlap" of the automobile world—the New York and Chicago record
of 5* hour*. At the present writing, there la every prospect that one
of them will be successful.
One contestant for the speed honors Is Sherburn M. Beeker. the boy
mayor of Milwaukee, who started from Fifty-fifth street and Broadway
at midnight on Monday in n 50-horse power Pnpe-Toledo car.
The other Is a Franklin 6-cyllnder car, which left Chicago at 2 p. m.
yesterday.
Mayor Beeker's attempt probably will be unsuccessful, as he smashed
his car near Newburg. N. Y., and lost seven hours.
The Franklin car Is the same that made the trans-continental record
of fifteen days, two hours and twelve minutes from Ban Francisco to
this city a few weeks ago. It arrived In South Bend, Ind., a distance of
(0 miles. In three hours, and when last heard from was considerably ahead
of the old record.

Special to The Georgian.
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 5.—Captain Dan
Blnke, of the Vanderbilt football eleven,
has returned to the city nfter a vacation
spent lu the moiiutnlns of Tennessee with
n surveying party, *nnd In the near future
will call his men out for practice on Dudley
field. J)nn, together with his brothers, Hob
and Vnugliu, has been roughing It. All
three of these sturs nre as hard ns Iron,
and will go Into the season of 1906 In
better sbni>c than ever. Yaugbu Illake lias
developed Into n strapping youngster ns
big as Imn, for he tips the seules now at
165 pounds. Neither Kyle nor Jlniiny Hay-
good will be back In college, and Vaughn
will, therefore, be tried out nt quarter.
He Is fast ou his feet, a great kicker (with
the ball), and Is a sure tackier.
It Is now stated that big Joe Pritchard,
Vamly's giant tackle, will return to the
university. Joe has been summering «. I
Beersheba mountain, and weighs overall
pounds. This should lie the banner year of I
his football career, and an nll-southornt 1
place should go to him, If form countj |
for anything. I
It is understood that Jesse 8ll»li*y t tll# |
former Vanddrbllt tackle, who hn* I
teaching at Gordon institute during the I
past year, will return and take law.
will add another good lineman. Ed Xo^l
former fullback ou Bowen's team, will t«|
In college. Oscar, his brother, 1
smashing half, con not play for a whll? I
at least, owlug to deficiencies 1
studies.
As stated l>efore In The Georgian,
oral of the mainstays on the chaun™..
teams of 1904 and 1906 will return, nntfiSI
Craig, Mnnler and Stone. 1 1
Vanderbilt's hardest southern game will I
be with Tech November 17. *
GOLDFIELD WILL TRY TO
MATCH GANS AND BRITT
By W. W. NAUGHTON.
By Private Leased Wire.
San Francisco, Bept. 6.—Goldfield Is evi
dently elated with the success It hnd In
handling tho Ncismi-Gnns fight, and In
tends to become r Ider for other pugilis
tic events. Accor...ug to report. It has bid
930,000 for a nioteh between Jimmy Britt
and Joe Gans, to take place somewhere
around Christmas time.
As yet, Britt has not received any offi
cial offer, and feels disinclined to discuss
the match.
According to Willis Britt, who represents
Jimmy In affairs of this kind, the Goldfield
proposition will receive serious considera
tion when It comes along. Bald Willis
last night to the writer:
"Jimmy told you Iwfore Gans and Nelson
met that he would be ready to meet
the winner, and his feelings have experi
enced no chnuge. To put It frankly, he
would have preferred Nelson to (Jans.
Now, mind you, this Is not lieenuse bu
figures Nelson would be an easier man to
subdue than Gnus.
After watching Gans closely throughout
the fight nt Goldfield, Jimmy thinks he
can outlmx tho negro. It's the feeling en
gendered by 'the fight nt Colmn which
makes my brother long for a return battle
with Nelson. Ou account of Nelson's slump
In prestige, we suppose a N'clsou-Hritt
match Is out of the question nt present,
and I have no doubt that Jimmy will be
signed with Gans for his next contest.
"I might say that It does not follow,
of necessity, that Goldfield will In* the
scene of the battle. The amateur exhibi
tions here a few' nights ago showed thnt
Han Francisco Is ready for.n big contest.
there Is a prospect of bringing Britt and
Gnns together."
Though Willis did not say so, It Is be
lieved thnt Jimmy Ilrltt Is not particularly
anxious to engage lu a glove contest nt
present. He will einluirk In a business en
terprise In Han Francisco, and meanwhile
will turn his Fillmore street flats Into cash.
If the story told on Fillmore street Is cor
rect, Britt will realise about $12,000 profit
on the investment of $30,000 he made two
years ago.
As Goldfield has the pugilistic bee In Its
iNiunet, It will probably secure a ring at
traction for Christmas, if It loses thu Britt*
Gnns fight. The fact thnt It has chosen
a midwinter date proves thnt the lively
mining camp Is satisfied If It enu get to
gether a big enough crowd to fill Its arena
without relying on visitor * *
side the Goidncjd belt.
MAXWELL GOES
TO PITTSBURG
Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 5.—Maxwell, the

FOR OTTO’S KNOCK
NIFTY NOTES ON
A WELCOME WIN
Augusta, Ga., Hcpt. 6.—In speaking of the
recent remarks of Otto Jordan In regard to
Nap ltucker, the Georgia sunflower yester
day had the following to say:
"I can't believe that ntto said those
things," snld the Mg Alpharetta Iioy, with
genuine tears lu his eyes. "Jordan Is one
of the finest fellows that I know. . I admire
him more than any baseball player I’ve
ever met, and 1 think he’s true blue, all the
way through. The Marietta paper had It all
wrong. Jordan treated tue like u prince
while he was manager of the Atlanta team,
and the reason why ho let me go was lie-
cause 1 was not fast enough for Southern
League company, lie did cxacjl.v what any
other giHMl baseball manager would have
done.
"But. Just the same, I can't help hut feel
hurt tiecuuse of what he said."
The Pittsburg club has done unusually
good work on tlfe home grounds this sea-
son.

tures. For the Infield, the work of Wil
liams, Lockhart and Riley, of tho Maddox-
Uuckors, has not heeu equaled here be
fore this season. McConnell, the crack
shortstop for Blverdale, ulso starred.
The pttcblug of Green was superb. He
had the heavy hitting Cousins complete
ly nt hl« tuercy. Time nfter time, when
it lilt would have resulted In runs, bu
would mow them down In one-two-three
order. Travis, of Blverdale, also pitched
masterly ball, «xceptlng one or two In
nings, when bis wdldiiess cost him the
game. f
The receiving of !»oth catchers wns
strong and steady, only one man stealing
a base on Smith of Maddox-Rucker.
The ehlef cause for Illvcrdnle's down-
fail was the excellent haserulining of the
visiting team.
Watermelons and cold cider wns the
treat enjoyed by both tennis at the close
of the game, anil the rinds went Maddox-
Barker's way as they pulled out.
The box score will tell the story:
