DID PITCHING
IT WA8 SPARK8 AGAIN8T BRADY
AT PHILADELPHIA THE
OTHER DAY.
A game wan played In Philadelphia
Tuesday which Interests Southern
x baseball fans, for Sparks, the Georgia
boy, pitched for Philadelphia, and
Brady, who was with Little Hock last
year, did the twirling for Pittsburg.
Abateln, who was drafted by Pittsburg
* from Shreveport, batted for- Brady In
the ninth Inning, but did not succeed
In getting a hit.
Here Is what one of the Philadelphia
papers had to say about the game:
/ "The Phillies got a way with the
opening game with Pittsburg yester
day In a well-played game by 4 to 8.
A little good luck In the first inning
and hefty swatting In the fifth gave the
Phillies Just enough runs to bent out
the Pirates by a tally. There was
plenty doing during the one hour and
forty minutes to Interest the 1,796 spec-
tutors, especially In the eighth Inning,
when Sparks crawled out of a tight
hole without a run being scored.
*•Sparks was hit only In spots, but
outside of Fred Clarke ho had the rest
of the slugging Pirate crew guessing.
The manager, captain and left fielder
clouted the gentle Southerner without
mercy, he getting two triples and a
, double out of four times up. In fact,
Clarke's batting was the only thing
which kept the Pirates In the game, as
Fred was Instrumental In scoring two
of the three runs the Smoke Town
artists tallied.
"Leaver only pitched the first Inning,
and although but one hit was made off
Jhlm for the starter he gave way to
; young Brady, who was at one time a
, Quaker twlrler. Brady pitched swell
ball for the Little Rock Southern
1 League club this summer, and he has
jbeen drafted by the Pirates. Brady Is
(a Clayton, N. 4., boy and well known
, In South Jersey baseball circles. He
pitched a good article of ball and nut-
aide pf the fifth inning succeeded In
keeping the Quaker^ from nearing. Hie
drop ball played havoc with most of
the local players and he "wlffed" six
of them in regular Mathewson order.
But bunched blngoes In the fifth ln-
hlng were his undoing."
PEACEFUL END
TO LONG FEUD
GEORGETOWN AND VIRGINIA AT
LA8T RENEW THEIR ATHLET
IC RELATION8.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 27.--The
athletic breach which existed between
Georgetown and VJrjrinBi for Jour yearn
was closed Sunday when the athletic
associations of the two universities
held special meetings In the two cities
at the same hour and decided that it Is
In the best Interest ot all concerned
that relations be rent wed. Tnless pres
ent plans miscarry, a footbull game will
be played In this city this fall.
After the footbull game of 1901,
which was won by Georgetown, 17 to
It, after one of the hardest struggles
aver witnessed on a local gridiron, some
feeling arose because of charges of In
eligibility, and finally all relations were
severed, In the four years' interim
many t fforls to bring about peace were
maae, but It was not until about three
weeks ago that negotiations were start
ed which culminated in the resump
tion of relations. Certain influential
Virginia undergraduates and alumni
intimated to C. M. Berry, captain of the
Georgetown team of 1901, that Virginia
was w illing to consider a reconciliation,
and It was decided to have Virginia
•end a committee to this city to meet a
Georgetown committee and tulk over
the matter.
The Virginia committee was com
posed of Professor W. A. Lambert, a
member of the faculty athletic com
mittee, and C. 8. McVeigh. George
town was represented by Branch Bo-
cock, captain of the football team, and
Thomas Kirby. These two committees
linet at the University Club, in this
iclty, a week ago yesterday, and drew
up a tentative code of rules that were
to govern contests between the univer
sities. This code was satisfactory, and
jit was decided to meet at Charlottes-
l vl!le before' finally submitting the
i agreement to the athletic associations
for ratification.
At the Churlottosvlllo meeting last
i Saturday it was decided that It was
better not to attempt to change the
codes of tho universities, and finally It
was agreed to havo the eligibility rules
of the two universities govern the re
spective teams. It was in this form
that the negotiations were submitted to
the two athletic associations at yester
day's meetings.

Byrd Defeated Hill and
Meets Tilson in Finals
F. O. Byrd and W. J. Tilson will face
each other Thursday afternoon on the
Hast Lake golf course of the Atlanta
Athletic Ulub In the final round for the
Trawick cup, and the golf champion
ship of Atlanta.
The match ought to bo a corker. As
Infrequently happens, the mutch play
has weeded out the players In such a
fashion that apparently tho two' best
men under the conditions face each
other In the Inst round. Both men play
u long, hard-hitting game, are ns strong
In trouble ns on tho fair green and arc
probably capable of taking a majority
of matches away from any other men
In the club.
To get to the finals Byrd was forced
to play W. I*. IIIIl. These two inen are
annual opponents for the Trawick cup
and between them have won nil which
have been offered. Mr. Hill was hope
lessly outclassed on the Hast Luke
course. His sternly, short, accurate
game which played havoc with his
opponents over the Piedmont course
was not long enough for tho all but
Interminable 6,790 yards of the East
Lake course and he almost nlwnys
found himself playing the odd after the
drive from every hole. Mr. Byrd was
hammering out his drives from 200 to
250 yards and doing wonders with his
brassy and mid-iron.
In tho match Wednesday Mr. Byrd
W’on the first five holes In succession.
This gave him the match for all practi
cal purposes and from that point lie
played everything safe. He crossed the
lake and started on the return Journey
three up and this lead he Increased by
the hole, and won the match, four up
and three to piny.
The other matches are being played
off as rapidly as the weather and other
conditions will allow. J. O. Darling
won hie match In the seml-tinnl round
of tho second cup from J. 8. Cothran,
five up and four to play, and looks the
winner of the second cup.
In the third Might Latimer beat Gay,
5 nnd 4: W. K. Stone beat Hammond, 2
and 1, and Tlchenor beat Htovall, 3
nnd 2.

Just when he would seemingly have a game

Tim tried everything from carrying a
buckeye In Ills left hind poefcot to eatelling
a rabbit at midnight In some popular grave

horseshoe to head off the hard luck streak,
and while going to the park one day he

nnd he kept It there.
The game wns progressing nicely until he
gave u base on (mils aud big Dnit Brouthers
came up. Tim handed Dan a wide out-

Bean Infuses New Life Into
Tech ’s Fast Second Team
Viewing the Tech practice Wediyadny af
ternoon one might note u slender man In
football toga, including » light yellow
sweater, who stayed Just buck of the scrub
line nnd shouted encouragement to the hard-
pushed scrubs and seemed to be In general
charge of thut end of the practice. Occa
sionally when the 'varsity had the ball nml
some big fellow would break away for a
run thnt looked good for u touchdown this
same slender player would make a dive for
the runner, nml you can Just nut It down
thnt he never fulled to get his man In
quiry elicited the fact that the new innn
was Joe Bean, the famous end who played
such a wonderful game for Tennessee two
rears ago, when the Knoxville men held
Ifelsmun s Yellow Jackets down to the piti
ful score of 2 to 0. Bean's playing that day
wns easily worth the price of admission.
Tech lias secured Beau ns coach for the
scrubs, and It looks ns though n wise choice
has been made, llenn knows the game from
kick-off to goal, and he Isn’t afraid to play
It either, and If lie succeeds In drilling Into
his scrubs hit It the ability ho hits he will
have done well.
Few realise the vital necessity of n well
coached scrub squad. Without tills the very
best conch can do little with Ids ’varsity
men, as the Scrubs are the anvil «n which
he beats out nml trie* Ids men, nnd If there
Is a weak nnd Inefficient scrub squud the
’varsity Is apt to be up lu the air when
they tackle a hardened set of opponents on
the field With a g»xsi hunch of scrubs who
can plue the game altmmt as well ns the
•varsity a coach lias n large load taken off
Ids mind, nnd can go ahead nnd experiment
with Ids new formations, and have a pretty
good bleu of bow they will work against a
good strong team. Another thing Is thnt a
good pushing scrub team keeps the regulars
on the Jump, especially with such a conch
as Uclsmuu, who plays no favorites and
puts a man In or out purely on Ids worth.
This Is a quality that has won many a game
for him. There has never lieen even n whis
per sf favoritism ou any team thut llela-
man has coached.
Next Mitnrdny will be n crucial time for
tho Yellow Jackets. Maryville Is ssld to
* strong team nnd n good conch, nml
can safely be made that the game will be a
good deni more Interesting for the specta
tor than In the past. Tne great trouble
at the Tech Is lack of veterans who know
llclsmnu's system of play. This will be
overcome In u few weeks, but It Is going to
count against them good nnd hard In the
first game or two.
The game thnt Is worylng the hnlrs gray
In llelsnmn's head Just uow Is that with
Sewnuee, which comes on Octol»er 18, Just
three weeks from next Saturday. Since the
"dog fnll" of last year each team will be
on Its mettle, nnd n royal battle will doubt
less ensue. Sewnuee bus lost few of her
