THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1906.
• STRUGGLE FOR SECOND PLACE STILL ON
SPORTS
Edited by PERCY R WHITING
ATLANTA AMD MEMPHIS ARE NOW TIED
1 i i—
CRACKERS AND BURGLARS
TIED FOR SECOND PLACE
Tied with Memphis at last.
After nearly a month of hard fighting
the Crackers reached the coveted sec
ond place Wednesday afternoon, though
Just at present that oerth is occupied
in company with the hated Burglars.
From now on it as case of ‘ war to
the bat and bat to the handle'*—and
then some between the two teams.
Each team now has 77 games won
and 55 lost.
If the Crackers win more from the
New Orleans team than Memphis can
from Militancy's pets over In Mont
gomery. then second place and some
$66 to a player goes to the Atlanta
men. If the reverse happens, then
down go the Crackers to third place.
The last three days of the league
season will see the fight fought out
from first base to home plate, and times
will be stirring.
There is no danger but that the New
Orleans team will do Its best to keep
the Crackers from staying In second
place. There is no large amount of
love lost between the players on the
two teams and less between the man
agers. These games are the Pelicans*
last chanc to get revenge, and doubt
less they will try to take it.
The Crackers are playing with nerve,
skill and luck well combined these
days, though, and are hard to beat.
If MuIIaney can be counted on to
force his team to the limit against
Memphis, it looks like a good, chance
for an even break, at least for Atlanta.
But the Montgomery bunch is pretty
far down In the league race, and It Is
doubtful If the Legislators will extend
themselves to the limit against such a
bunch of hustlers as those Burglars
are.
However, 1 t*s up to MuIIaney and his
crew. Here's hoping they do their best.
SENSATIONAL GAME ENDS
WITH “FLUKE” HOME-RUN
FIRST GAME ATLANTA 3.
SECOND GAME ATLANTA 2.
Time—Yesterday.
Place—The ball park.
The second game wss In the last In
nlng. The score was tied. Larry Hoffman
was at bat.
Pltcber Lee: "U-u m-p" (and he sent
• straight one over the plate).
The Bnt: "Crack."
’The Ball: "Ouch!"
Dense silence for ten seconds, while the
ball sailed over the center fielder’s head
and landed In the deep grass at the foot
of the center field fence.
The Ball: "Here's where I lose my-
1 self," and he did.
Center Fielder King (Branching vainly
through the grass): "Where Is that blank
•ty, blank ball? Cusa, cuss, cuss, blank,
blank blank!"
Larry Hoffman (Steaming around second
and third toward home): "Puff, puff!"
Larry scores, tho crowd yells Itself to
pieces, aud drifts away lu street cars, au
tomobiles and otherwise.
The Scoreboard: "Atlanta 2, Shreve
port 1."
Bobby Gllka (Walking sadly homeward):
"And yet they call this baseball."
8low curtain; sod music.
Such In brief Is the dramatic story of
tho dosing game of tho Shreveport se
ries.
The first game was n nice sdfo win
all the wsy for Atlanta. Tho Cmokers tab
Hod two In tho first Inning, aud that won
the game for them. Zeller was Invincible
lu every Inning but the fourth, and In that
session one run wna Bhreveport’s limit.
In the next gnine, Zeller tried It again,
and did well, but Shreveport got away
with a run In the first, and ns nobody
could seem to rounect with Lee'* curves
It looked like a "I to 0” fiasco.
In the eighth Inning rally, however, Zel
ler went safe on nn error nnd scored on
3!orse*s bit, tying the score.
In the first half of the ninth, Shreve
port was helpless before the game "Rube,"
. and In the last half Larry Hoffman walked
to the bat and lost the ball In the weeds.
Of course, It was n fluke home rttu. The
. ball was hit bard, bnt It should not have
been good for more thah two tune*.
However, It was the luck In baseball,
and It Is a poor rulo to kick against luck
when It comes your way.

TECH FOOTBALL PLAYERS
REPORT THIS AFTERNOON
Thursday afternoon the first regrular
football practice will be held on Tech

Wednesday Coach' Helsman and a
few men were out and at work, but the
regular reporting day has now arrived
and Tech gridiron will be a busy place
every afternoon from now to the sunset
of Thanksgiving Day.
Little can be told about which men
will be back or about the new material
for a day or two. Captain Wilson will
be on hand and a good bunch of last
year's men. The new material Is re
ported to be good and altogether things
sensational
look bright out at Tech.
Rumor has It that HMg
changes In the style of play win“be|P
troduced by Coach Helsman, in order
to take full advantage of the new rule.
Tech Is fortunate this year in havlnc
a coach who not only knows football
but who thinks. It Is doubtful If ant-
coach In the country has made a more
careful study of the game or can bet.
ter understand before a ball Is put In
play under the new rules Just how they
are going to work out.
Some sensational football mat- be
expected on Tech field this year and
the early practice will be watched with
unusual Interest.

BAD OUTLOOK
FOR HARVARD
Cambridge, Masa., Sept. 18.—Harvard's
football season opened here with n squad of
ouly twenty-six men, many of whom looked
like real 'varsity material. Iu the sqtiad
were five of last year’s "II" men. They
were Captain Foster, left halfback; Kers-
berg, left guard; Mendel, right halfback;
Lockwood, fullback; McDonald, end.
It looks as If Coach Reid and his assist
ants will huve a hard time developing a
successful team this year.
"Poroh’ r Donovan, the new trainer, was
on hand and made a good Impression. .

Much has been said and written about
the effect of the new football rules
on the college game and very little
about Its effect on the prep school
game. While the youngsters play under
the same rules ns their older brothers,
yet the game they put up differs In
many respects.
The Georgian, therefore, asked Frank
J. Blake, the most successful prep
school coach In the eutlre South, for
his views on the new rules, and they
are given below.
By FRANK~J. BLAKE.
I nm at a loss Just what to say In re
gard to the new rules.
I nm afraid my opinion, ns compared with
the more expert authorities of Atlanta
and the vicinity, on the new rules, would
be of little value to you or the publ!|.
nnd I would really prefer to keep out of
the limelight of publicity as far as prac
ticable.
As to the rules, I fall tp sec the neces
sity of such radical changes so far as
the game ns played In the South nnd West
last season, Is concerned. True, In the
east matters were In a sad plight, but Judg
ing from the success of the western and
southern tennis, I should say the fault In
the east was due to the players nnd
not to the rules of the game as played
In 1906.
As to what will be the result or effect
of the changes, that can 1>e told only
after they huve been thoroughly tested In
play.
I am afraid the offense has been too
everely handicapped by the 10-ynrd rule.
It would have been much more conserva
tive to have nllowed, at least, four downs,
instead of three, for the necessary. 10 yards.
By thus handicapping the offense, I should
think that the rotighneik of the game, Id
that# the determination to gain J* j a .
creased, will be proportionately greater.
However, I think there will be fewer f a .
talltles under the new rules, but the broken
limbs will be more numerous than ever
In the history of the game.
Every football players knows It Is more
dangerous to make a flying tackle or to l. e
thug tackled than It Is to be tackled | n
the line, nnd ns the rules are so con
structed ns to Increase the open field piny,
so will the Injuries due to such play be
brought to a mnxlmum.
The forward pnss, « very radical chnnge,
while It greatly aids the offense, will also
prove dangerous to the runner. The rule
specifies that the hall shall bo cleanly ban
died, and In order to do so,* a player
will, while on a dead run down the field,*
he looking back to receive the ball, and
while In this position may be suddenly
tackled by nn opponent.
The Outside kick Is a good one, and /»
Intended to assist the offense and at th«
same time weaken the defense by keeping
nu extra man In the back field to take
care of these punts.
The rule prohibiting any of the five
center men from being drawn bnek of
the line, unless they are, at least, 5 yardi
back (nnd then one of the hacks must
take his place In the line), will have a
very strong effect on the offense. Hardly
n play was made last year but that one
of these menwns drawn from his position
and used very effectively, either lu car
rying the ball of In the Interference.
Hummed up ns a whole. It seems to me
that the weak tenjns have been made
weaker und put more at the mercy of the
stroug ones, the very thing which the
>nnmttee was trying to obviate.
The Imlance of the changes are of minor
Importance, and will not greatly effect tU
play.

Billy Smith is ready for the trip he Is
going to take when the season closes. He
will scout through the Central League for
new timber to try out next season. Just
what this trip will amount to will be seen
Inter. BHly has bis eye on something nnd
la sawing wood and saying nothing.
He 16 out after new pitchers, n couple of
Inflehlers, a catcher, and most likely a
heavy hitting outfielder.
As Archer has l>een drafted, no other At
lanta player Is In danger of going to the
majors this season.
When the gong sounds for practice next
spring, Atlanta will have some new timber
to try out.
Hhl Smith, who lias been showing great
form 'since he was replnced behind the
pan, will prohnbly he seen in the same po
sition next season. Nothing need be sahl
about "Hteeple" Jim, for he will most surely
I be on first. Jordan will hover on second,
nnd probably Morse will be nt short. Win
ters will surely be seen In right field, for
it can safely be said that he is as good nn
nil-round player as Is In the Southern
League toduy. If Bobby Wallace keeps
hitting the ball he will lx* seen in ceuter
garden, for Bobby Is a fielder from away
bnek. There Is n lot of talk that Crosier
will not be seen In an Atlanta uniform next
year, but from the way things look he
will report to Billy Smith In the spring.
Nothing has been said of a third basemnu,
which BHly has been In need of nil the
year. Hoffman has Iteen playing great (mil
slnco rejoining the team. It seems that he
is In a habit of doing very unexpected
things these days.
• Now, for the pitchers. If Billy can land
another Tom Hughes and a second "Rube"
Zeller we will !»» satisfied. But pitchers like
these two do not hang around doing noth
ing. Hushes nnd Zeller have done the bulk
of the pitching this season, aud If Atlanta
hnd lmd another one like Hughes Birming
ham would uot hnve hnd the pennaut cinch-
•Rube" will likely wear an Atlanta
uniform next spring.
With any kind of luck next year nnd a
launch of good players Billy will show Dnd
Vaughan nnd Charley ashb what he would
have done this sen*4>n vr!fh good luck.

Ban Francisco, Cal., Hept. 13.—Heavy
weight Jack O’Brien will not he on the
steamer Hlerrn tomorrow when she sails
for the Orient. He has postponed his
trip because he has been matched with
Tommy Burns for n contest of forty
rounds and a purse of 120,000. The affair
will take place nt Arcadia, near Los An
geles, nnd tho prize money will be fur
nished hy the Arcadia Athletic Clnb, of
which "Lucky" Baldwin Is a prominent
member.
O’Brien had waited nil day for some
news from Hum Berger, who hnd promised
.to fight him If he postponed his trip to
Australia. A few days ago, Eddie Grnney
offered a purse of 815,000 for the Berger-
O’Bricn match. Jack Gleason said that the
amount was not large enough, but O’Brien
had hoped that Berger would he Induced
to accept It. Graney kept the wires hot
today telegraphing Berger, who Is In the
east, but received no answer. At 9 o'clock
last night, O’Brien had bis mind made to
go to Australis.
When O'Brien received news of the Ar
cadia offer, he said:
"That settles It. Tho match with Bill
Squires can stand over. I will stay her*
now, even If the go with Burns hangs fin*
for n few days. When he is so anxious to
meet me, nnd the Arcadlnns are so willing
to hnng up a $20,000 purse, something must
come of It. Burns, I understand, has put
up $1,000 with The Los Augeles Examiner. I
will cover Burns' forfeit, nnd the match
Is on. As to the division of the purse. I
will leave that to Burns, with the under
standing that the winner receives not le«i
than 73 per cent. It he wishes, we will
tight on a winner take all basis."
The terms were wired to Lo* Angelei
nnd within an hour news was received that
the Arcadia Club would post a certified
check for $20,000 with The Los Angelos Ex-
nminer. The promoters will leave the se
lection of the date to the puglllsls, and
O'Brien stipulates that .tie contest tnk#
place within the next two months,
only terms Imposed by the club an
the articles will provide for forty round*.
If necessary, anti flint the contest must

Frank does not like Billy Smith. The

Vanderbilt cup races began, mul aa all the
drivers will be able to forget the speed
limit for the next nine days between 5 nnd

This year's course Is 29.71 mile* In length
