Clark Oriflith'a newest recruit from Atlanta. Ga., pitched his first trial in fazt company when Griff sent him In Against the Ravens In the third inning yesterday, after the McAleerite slug gers had hammered Clarkson to their hearts' content In the second session. Hughes twirled five innings for the Yankees and put up a very creditable performance. Though the Ravens an nexed four runs during Hughes' reign the fault was not with the Georgia twlrler, for he gave the enemy but three scanty hjts. Poor fielding behind him was respon sible for the tallies. Griffith said today that he is lm* mensely pleased with the work of Hughetf and feels confident that the ex-Southern Leaguer will make good.

Should Terry knock him out. It would mean Britt's pugilistic death. Should Guns or Nelson do the trick, he can still corao back and get another tight before dropping off the cliff. HERRERA GETS THE DECISION BostoA, Kept. 19.—Aurello Herrera wot the decision over Kid Goodman In their fierce fifteen-round bout at Chel sea last night. At the end of tho mill Terry McGovern, who was present, jumped Into the ring and challenged the winner. A policeman, who feared , a mlx-up, gave Terry a left hook and •'fixed" him. The Mexican refused <o weigh In. Goodman tipped the beam at 130. Goodman was the aggressor all through, but could not avoid Herrera's vicious lefts and took a lot of punish ment. In the third, seventh, eighth, , twelfth and thirteenth rounds honors were even. Herrera had tho bets of the remaining nine rounds. Goodman was almost out four times, but recoverod Yn time to go on. The , decision met with the approval of the ! crowd. JACK McMA8TER8 GOE8 TO ANNAPOLI8 TEAM.

He was out today ns usual in the curly hours. He shot down some of the longer stretches nt,better than 60 miles nn hour in the 90 horsepower that 1ms been entered by 8. T. Davis, Jr. Although Tracy has dona the single cir cuit of the course, which is 29 4-5 miles, in 31 minutes and 32 «ec«uds, his trial per formances Indicate that lie will lie able to exceed the mark. The terrific speed that Tracy whips out of his machine on the stretches tins been hair- raising. ATLANTA ATHLETIC CLUB MAY HIRE ALEX.

This tournament will he open only to players who have begun to play reg ularly during 1906 and will furnish amusement for some fifteen or more players of tho A. A. C. best golf player In America today and one of tho best in the world, may be secured to tnkp charge of tho East Lake golf course of tho Atlanta Ath letic Club for tho winter. Mr. Smith hn* applied for tho Job and it seems more than likely that ho will be secured to look after tho golf course and the golfers during tho win ter and until some permanent man is secured. It would be a great stroke for the lo cal club to secure Smith. He has won practically every tournament ho has started in this year and his equal as a player has probably never been seen in this country. GOLF NEWS. A handsome cup has bo?n offered by Ed Clapp for a "novice tournament," The extreme length of the new East Lake course has been troubling many players and the club is considering the possible need of shortening some of the holes. Before any such step Is taken, however. It Is expected that several high claae professionals vylll be brought to Atlanta to look over the course. The record of 102 strokes for the East Lake course which was made Saturday by ..oseph Tilson was bumped this week by P. Thornton Marye, who play ed the long round in 100 strokes.

Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 19.—Football prospects at Vanderbilt are becoming blighter nnd the indications are now that Dan MeGugln will turn out anoth er great eleven. The Michigun coach lms had his charge out for two days and, although school does not open un til today, nearly thirty candidates have np|ienred on Dudley field. With the exception of quarterback, the great Imekfleld is there intact. Several heavy linemen are on hand, and the two positions that McGugin will have most trouble in filling will be center and quarter. Yesterday afternoon the following regulars woro out for oreliminary work: Bob Blake, All-Southern end for two years and now weighing 168 pounds; Owsley Manler. Ail-Southern fullback, weighing 173; "Bonus" (John) Craig, All-Southern halfback, weigh ing 168 pounds; Joe Pritchard, the Mississippi giant, who was the choice of many experts for All-Southern tackle, and who now tips the scales at 197; Oscar Noel, the Nashville boy, who played such sensational halfback in the Vanderbilt-Sewnnee game, weigh ing now 168 stripped; Ed. Noel, his brother und a former star lineman on Bowen’s team, who weighs 188 pounds, and Dan Blake, one of the South’s greatest ground-gaining nnd defensive halfbacks, tipping the scales at 164 pounds. Stone, All-Southern center and guard, will be on the field In a day or st> and should weigh close to 175 stripped. The above eight men are almost sure of places on the team of 1906. Several of the men who won olaces as substi tutes last year, are back in college. Chorn, one of the best men who ever played on a Vanderbilt scrub team, now weighs 175 pounds. He is strong and hard as a rock. King, another good man on the second eleven, is back, heavier than ever, weighing now 172 pounds. Sam Costen, who played half back on the team of 1904 and right field on the baseball team, but who taught lust year at McTyeire school. Is hack In college this year and was out on the field yesterday afternoon. Sam ts In good shape and will make some- hody hustle for a buekfield or end job. He weighs about 160. Crawford, an other fast man who placed substitute bnckfield last season, is back in col- lego. McLain, substitute lineman on the ’varsity. J* back after a strenuous and successful campaign through the Seventh congressional district of Mis sissippi with his father, Congressman McLain. He weighs close to 200. Among the new men «mt today were Mason, a Castle Heights recruit, and Imwler, who has attended both Bran ham and Hughes and <’astle Heights. Mason was the fastest quarterback among the preparatory schools last Kuson as well as a brilliant track man. He runs a team well, knows the game of football nnd will likely make a live ly bid for quarterback. Lawler is n brother of "Bull" Lawler, a former Vnnderbllt star at football und base ball. Vuughn Blake and "Spick" Hall will both be back In college this 5'ear. Vaughn Blake has filled out until he is about ns heavy as Dan. So far tho work has been light, con sisting mostly of running, kicking nnd catching punts. Coach McGugin In a short while will begin to train Ills men on the new rules and will instruct them regarding the vital changes that have been made and how they look to him. "A great ileal lms been written and said concerning the new rules,” says Coach McGugin, "but not much has been said about the provision allowing a man to signal for a fnir catch. The rules say that he may signal for such catch 'while approaching the ball’ by holding his ri*nt hand above his head. The question Is: when does the oppor tunity to make such catch cease; whether or not he could make such signal after he had got under the ball, or only when approaching. The pur pose of the signal is evident In that it Is meant to give the ends a chance to get on the ball if the man backing the field does not intend to make a fair catch. "i don't see nny material change, cither, in the type of the team for this year. Last season little Scarborough, light man, played great quarterback for Sewnnee nnd Captain Innis Brown, •f Vanderbilt, did the remarkable work f playing guard when only weighing 165 pounds, and he was great. The same opportunities are presented this year." Clube. Chicago . . New York. Clevelund . Philadelphia St. Louis . Detroit . . Washington Boston . . Clubs. Chicago . . New York . Pittsburg .

Ho do the fnns. Been thinking so for several years, though Bill pitched good bait last year. The Birmingham papers sre still, roust ing Billy Smith for playing a double-header Friday, and claim that If he had not done so Atlanta would have finished iu second place. Maybe so. but It is hard to dope those things out Iff ndvnuee. If Smith’s ter.m hud won l»oth of those games nnd cinched sec ond place. Smith would have been hero. As the team lost one game, Smith, according to the Ulrmlugbutn papers, Is a bom-head.

The Nashville association could have made no wiser move than to have secured Bobby Gilka and 8olu him an Interest In the club. He is n good manager, ami would have given Nashville a winner at a reasonable outlay. President Ebbetts, gf the Brooklyn club, | Is in favor of the elimination of the foul ! fly catch iu order to help out batting.

The practice yes terday was in the morning, the candi dates getting half a day off In the afternoon. Some of the work tried In secret last week was repeated in pub lic. Seven men lined up and the de fensive backs were sent down the field. The play was the new forward pass. It was easy to see the men were not fa miliar with the way things would go, for they were not expert in following the course of the ball, which the backs were waiting to grab as soon an it touched the ground. Before the *Une-up Held punted to a row of men to teach them to become accustomed to the new rules, which puts everybody on side as soon as the ball touches the ground. He spun the ball In every direction along the ground. The size of the Harvard football squad has been increased to 35 men, the highest point that the crimson squad has yet reached. One of the new-comers is Irving, a 190-pound can didate, for tackle, who ,played on the second team last year. Kennard, Osborne, Lincoln and Lock- wood received special coaching at punt ing and all did well In thlc department in the practice yesterday. EDWARD GIVE8 CUP.
