SMITH WILL SCOUT THROUGH CENTRAL

Manager Billy Smith la spending a lot of
time these days studying Central League
sebedules nud consulting time tables of
the railroads which will carry him to
Grand Haplds. Springfield. Canton, Dayton,
Wheeling, Evansville, South Bend and
Terre Haute. As soon ns the season ends,
lie Is going to dash into the Central
League and see If anything Is stirring In
the line of available playera.
Manager Smith believes that there Is a
lot of good material In the Central League,
and that he can land some good players
by draft. Anyway, he Is going up there to
take a look around and to take a shy at
the game.
The Central League Is made up of good-
sited cities and line baseball Is played
there. All the teams ore fast, and most
of the players In that league would rank
pretty well with any players In the South
ern League. Yet the Central League is
In Claas B, and Is, therefore, subject to | the time Hughes reports and the end of
draft from the Southern. Also, the Cen- j the season.

WARMEST INTEREST FELT IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA
OVER SATURDAY’S CAMBRIDGE-HARVARD BOAT RACE
By Prtrsti' Lraspd Wire.
Putney. Sept 7.—A* the time eet for
the rowing contest between Cambridge
urn! Harvard draw, near. Interest In
the American oarsmen Increases. A
great many complimentary things are
being said about the Yankcea and a
grlat many foolish things ns well. The
greatest Interest Is being expressed on
the condition of the men and consider
able mystery surrounds their method
of training. Rumor has It that the men
lire given a sort of “training mixture”
i itch night, composed of a tablespoon-
fill of brimstone und treacle.
Report Is to the effect that night and
morning men partake of thick gruel
and cod liver oil.
When this report was told to one of
the members of the Harvard crew, who
waa also to tell the secret of their fit
ness, he said: "I guess you'd like to
know what It Is, all right, but you see
It's a dead secret. Nobody will ex
cept ourselves until after the race. It
will come as a great surprise.”
Hreat Interest is manifested In Lon
don In the race, which will take place
tomorrow, over the historic Thames
< rang from Mortlake to Putney. Ever
Mnce the arrival of the Harvard crew
In England the papers hero have de
emed columns to the work of the two
eights. In speaking of the event to
day a representative of the Harvard
. crew said:
"The Harvard men are In excellent
condition and wo are confident of vic
tory tomorrow. While we naturally
regret that Glass will not be able to
row, wo regard Morgan as a satisfac
tory substitute. We are entirely sat
isfied with the course and with the ar
rangements that have been made."
Regret Is expressed that King Ed
ward will bo unable to attend'thc rac».
The royal family will he represented,
however, and It Is safe to say that
there will be no more Interested spec
tator among the thousands who will
lino the bunks of the Thames than
Prince Edward of Wales, who has
taken the liveliest Interest In tho Har
vard crew ever since Its arrival here.
It is believed that If the eight from tho
other side of the Atlantic loses the race
there will be a young scion of royalty
minus some pocket money, though this
Is a matter of which the young prlnco
refuses to speak.
Many high British officials have ac
cepted Imitations to attend the race,
and Ambassador Relil and all the at
taches of the American embassy will
bo present. It is th. evident Intention
of the English promoters of the contest
to make It an International rather than
a merely athletic event,' tn the hope of
thereby fostering the friendly rivalry
of the two countries.
The Cambridge oarsmen are a strong,
wiry crew with plenty of experience
and a good command of watermanship.
The striking difference between tho
Ilnrvard and Cambridge crews Is that
the Cambridge oarsmen catch much
harder and at the finish go much far-
A STORY ABOUT ARUNDEL
Did any of you readera over hear the story of 'Tug” Arundel, the
famous Chicago catcher, and how he lost a game some years ago by
giving chaso to a atruck-out batter? McQraw la responsible for the
tal* and If you have any doubts about it, nsk him.
The bases were full at tho time, and Baltimore needed three runs
to win. Steve Brndle came up nnd. after swinging viciously, missed
the third strike. Arundel always believed he could bent Brodle running,
and after he dropped that third strike ho was determined to show him.
“Tug” refused to throw the bull to first, but. Hying Into a rage,
yelled “I can catch you with web feet!” nnd sturted nfter the tiering
Brodle to touch him with the ball.
The team was yelling like mad at Arundel to throw the hall, but his
mind was "sot.” Past first they went like two thoroughbreds, and mound
the diamond the sprint continued. Brodle kept two'feet ahead until they
reached the homo plate, and then for the first time Arundel realized that
lie had chased In four runs and lost the game.—New York Evening
World.
ther back than their opponents. An
other very marked difference between
the two crews Is In the body swing.
Tho Cambridge oarsmen go no further
forwnrd, but nt tho finish they swing
much further back than the Harvard
men. Tho theory of this stroke la that
when tho oarsmen get tired and their
nrms, legs and backs are hardly able
to work, the weight of their bodies will
still move the oars through the water
and send the boat along.
To compensate for their shorter body
swing the Harvard men have a longer
slide. The Cambridge slides are rigged
for IS Inches nnd Harvard’s for 22
Inches. Neither crew uses all the dis
tance It can use, but Harvard probably
slides nve or six Inchea further than
Cambridge. Whether this additional

length of slide Is more effective than
a longer body awing Is a question
which only rowing experts are able to
answer.
The equipment of the two crews
does not differ much. The Cambridge
shell Is (3 feet long; Harvard's Is 60.
The Cambridge oars are 12 feet, 3
Inches long; they have a 6-Inch blade
and are used 3 feet, 8 1-1 Inches In
board. The length of the blade Is 2
feet, 8 Inches. Harvard's oars are 13
feet, 2 Inches In length, of which 3 feet,
8 1-3 Inches Is Inboard (the same as
Cambridge’s); the blades of the Har
vard oars are 6 1-6 Inchea wide and 2
feet, 10 Inches long.

positions and weight! follow;

The Atlanta bunch ran true to form Thursday, aud took • fame from Lit*
tie Rock by a score of 6 to 0. The Crackers won Just about the way the dope
figured out, and had easy sailing all the way, finishing In good trim, while Lit*
tie Rock waa "all In" when the wire was reached.
I'p to the eighth Inning, Atlanta had only two ran*, which were hard earned
by superior baseball—or. perhaps, because of Little Rock's Inferior playing.
In the eighth, though. Hid Smith lit on Keith for a two-bagger, and right
at thab point the slab-sided I'nlverstty of Arkansas wonder split an Inner tutie
and exfdoded violently. Before the Atlantans bad finished making bits and the
Travelers had completed their mlsiltrected fielding efforts, four runs had been tal

Detroit, Hept. 7.—The players of tho De
troit baseball club mny not be Inindcd to
gether to lose games to the Chicago club
(luring the series now tn progress, yet their
actions for the last two dnya hnro started
a rendition thnt bna set Manager Armour

None of the club's regular pltcheri ad
mitted themselves to be In shape to pitch
In the Drat game of the aeries, and Armour
had to use Wlllet, a colt. The game re
sulted tn nny easy Chicago victory, though 1
tho youngster pitched lino ball.-
Donovan and Donohue were “not feeling
well," while Mnlllu and Slever never even
appeared at the piirk and have not been
located yet.
McIntyre nnd Schaefer also failed to re-
port for duty on plena of Illness, and Ar
mour waa compelled to send out substitutes

SPEEDY TEAM
AT DAVIDSON
Special to The Georgian.
Davidson. X. C„ Hept. "—Football pros-
pecta at Davidson college are good this
fall. Several of the obi team men have
returned, and there Is a large amount of
new material.

Virginia team a few years ago, will ar
rive tomorrow nnd begin wi>rk at once.
Williams, the last year’s coach, who Is

Is expected to* spend a week In Davidson
It was with deep regret that the
members of the Atlanta Athletic Club
and the many tennis enthusiasts In
Atlanta learned of the defeat of Nat
Thornton In Cincinnati Thursday by
Robert LeRoy, of New York. The lo
cal man waa downed by scores of
6-2, 6-2.
In many ways tho showing of Thorn
ton was the best ever ’made by any
Southern tennis player. The Cincin
nati tournament was the largest ever
held on clay courts in this country
and the class of the entries was very
high. -
Krelgh Collins, the man Thornton
beat Wednesday, has been rarfked for
the past eight years among the first
tennis players In the United States,
and he waa one of the men sent to
England this year In quest of the Dlvls
trophy. To down a man of this caii-
There seemed to be something about tho
curves and shoots of Keith that Just suited
Otto Jordan, for "Dutch" hit the ball three
of the four times he was at bat. Also he
stole home with neatness nnd dispatch
when Fox wandered In an apparently alm-
lesa manner off first base and kept .the
whole bunch of Travelers interested for the
desired leugth of time.
No better throw from the outfield has
been math* at Piedmont park this year than
that of Wallace Thursday, when he caught
Dougins* fly nml doubled Kenunerllng nt
the plate. Smith stepped right where be
wnuted the ball to come before Wallace
bad It lu bln bands, nml Bob turned the
ball back to him on the fly and with such
goo4t aim that Kid did not have to move out
of his tracks.
Poor Kenunerllng was out so fnr that It
was quite pitiful to see him trylug to get
home.
Dirk Ilnrley Just naturally didn’t rare
which of them he hit Thursday, nuil among
those soaked were Bird, McKay and Kern-
her was certainly a high honor for any
Southern player.
The showing of Thornton Is en
couraging, as It shows what Southern
players have a chance to do on dirt
courts. In the past Southern players
Invading the North have gone to New
port. or elsewhere, where grass courts
were uned. These courts were entirely
different from the ones which South
ern players outside of New Orleans
were used to, and they were so greatly
handicapped by the change from ons
kind of a court to another that they
never made much of a showing. The
work of Thornton leads Southern play
ers to believe that they would have a
good chance with any players of simi
lar experience In any part of the
country.
The officials of the Southern Tennl*
Association are much encouraged at
the showing of the players sent from
the South and will have a team In
the tri-state tournament every year
hereafter.
Fonr dotihlo_ plays Is "pretty numerous,"
but that was the number uncorked Thurs*
day.
Bernle McKay was a bit over-snxloni
when the game opened, nnd he committed
a couple of errors. Then he steadied, and
hnd an awful afternoim's work. He ac
cepted eleven rhnnrcs. • Bernle will make
Little Rock a good man, nml certainly over*
anxiety Is ho uncommon on the Little Rook
team ns to be commendable.

everything In his usual flne style. If Ruddy
keeps on In this strenuous fashion he will
