PERCY H. WHITING
MARYVILLE TEAM IS HERE
AND ALL READY FOR TECH
THEY’ftE OFF!
The first football game of tin* season of
1906 will l*o played this afternoon at Twh
park. loginning nt 3 o'clock. between the
Tech tram a a* I that representing the Mary
ville college.
Tin* Maryville team blew Into Atlanta
Friday night, and the men nr»* all ready
for trouble. They have already played
one game, a practice affair, against tin*
American university, which they won In
fine style. The men are husky looking
propositions, nnd will no doubt entertain
the Tech tenm to the fullest. They have
been coached by It. K. Dickson, an ex Penn
sylvonia player, nnd he seems confident
that they will make a g«*od showing.
The Tech team has t*cen weakened at
the last moment by the departure from
college of Lee Wert, one of the team's
Strongest candidates. Mr. Wert has de
cided to give up college work nnd go Into
business. The departure of Wert will hurt
the t?am materially, for he was a first-
class plater.
However, with Poach Helsman nt the
helm, there will 1m* something stirring all
along th** Hue. and there need be no fe;i
that Tech will be djsgraei*d.
Th** game will be called at 3 oV|, M *
this afternoon, and It wilt undoubtedly be
put through in fast time. The rule requir
ing that time may be taken out oi
count of Injuries only three times will do
much to keep the game going wb

COLT BOUGHT FOR $3,700
GREATEST HORSE OF YEAR
By J. 8. A. MACDONALD.
New York. Kept. 29. "Long live the King!’
(s the cry of the thousands of racing tie
votooa here In the Fast at the present
ment. A year ago It was Hysouby, nnd to-
dny Salvidere Is the Hon.
"Greater than flyaonby,” "Hamburg might
have been bis equal,*’ "the perfect Ameri
ran thoroughbre*!.” Such are tin* undo
dramatic encomiums concerning Kulviderf
one hears Just now; III fart, mo great a here
has the colt l*ecome that tin* nrlght.»n
Ileacb Racing Association, nt wh*»s** track
racing *»pens for a we**k's run next Mondny,
Is out with an offer of a sweepstakes with
*5.<W added If Salvidere will be entered by
his owners against Electioneer, winner **f
th** Futurity, nnd Fountnlnblue.
Hut that Salvidere will be seen again this
•eason la not probable, for he needs a rest.
Salvidere la the best nnd only real high
class race horse developed this past sum
mer of racing. Salvidere has beaten every
2-year-old of pretension In th** lists.
Here are some farts concerning this ban
ner colt; He Is a gehllng and wns bred by
Jnmes Galway. The ■tallloti Itelvldere slr«*d
Salvidere and Sallle of Navarro was his
dnm. An agent of the late Captain Sam
Ilrown bought Kalvldere ns a yearling for
11,100. Salvidere, with n score of other
youngsters, was turned over to Trainer Hob
Tucker to be pointed for the races last
April. Two months earlier Captain Krown
had died In Pittsburg. Pa., and his turf In
terests reverted to W. Harry Hrnwn, the
deceased’a brother. Horse racing stood ns
an al*omluotlon In his eyes. ”1 want you
to sell out the stable and farm as soon as
you can find half-decent purchasers," di
rected Brown In a talk with Tucker nt Bel
mont Park lost May.
* *ker then wild the 3-year-old Account-
for $45,000 to "Diamond Joe" Urady,
rig.it after the colt had won the Withers
stakes. Since then Accountant has won
over $95,000 lu stakes, ami his owner has
cashed $50,000 worth of bets on his suc
cesses. Along at Brighton Beach Brown
thought Tucker had beter clean out a few
more. Then came a paddock mile. Pen-
nurds, a $35,000 winner since then, went for
$2,500; Frank Gill, a g*M*d colt, brought
$3,190. and snlrlftere. In! and behold, was
knocked doWu t*» John K. Madden for but
$3,700. Huivlderc, as aforementioned, bad
been beaten by Fotintulnliltie In n sort of
scratch scramble, but It served to show
Madden tin* flue points of bis racing action.
Walking Into the ring on the day of the
sale. Madden was surprised to see tin* colt
on tile sab* list. "What nr** you fffing to
s**ll that colt for. Bob?" naked Madden of
Tucker, the latter replying In effect that
th** youngster's off fore foot was soft nnd
sore. Madden, a muster In the treatment
of a thoroughbred's foot, examined the af
fected member nnd then silently stole away.
Securing Charley White, the prise fight r«
cree. In* wild: "Go to $10,000 for Hulvlde
for me." "Lucky Jack" McGinnis, tin* man
who beats more bmg shots than any other
bettor on tin* turf, started to nibble **n Sal-
•Mere. /
Noon Madden wns telling him of the bn 1
drpfoot. Jack qnlt. Whit**, got Salvidere
for $3,700 as aforementioned. Madden Is
racing in partnership with the Messrs.
F. U. Hitchcock. "You can have a
half Interest lu tills eolt If you want It.
Tom," sold Madden after the sale, and
Hitchcock took up the offer. Since then
Salvidere has not been defeated, winning
light stake events nnd a little over
$52,000 In prise money.
Mndden started off by using light nluml-
outii pads on Mnlvldcre’s touchy foot.
Th** Kara toga special, of $20,000, was Hal-
vldere's biggest triumph, but Ills win of the
Junior champion of $15,000 did more to con
firm his championship than any other race,
for he outstripped Water l'ea.rl and lu*
Murid In Impressive style. He Is now In
sured for $50,000 agnInst accident en route
to Kentucky. Ho Is a lean, stretchy chest
nut, but very deep through the heart. He
starts very slowly, but can sprint nt least
full, half mile. He looks scraggy. Ho Is
tough as nulls and leonine lu courage.
HaBldere Is flu* real "bulldog race horse"

As n 3 year-old he will win almost
that amount with Just fair luck. It Is
thought probable that Madden will penult

OCTOBER 10 FOR FURSE
OF $1,000.
Billy Smith Is having a* .successful Jaui*
through the Central L**ngu**. He has lo
cated some good players, and he will draft
them when his turn com™.
This much he has written recently to
Chief Joyner.
As to what men Smith lias In nilnd. In
will not even tell "the chief." Of course
It Is to his Interest and to that of the
club Hint it daps not leak out whtch men
he Is after. It may be mentioned though,
with*all confidence, that he has an eye
on'an Inflelder, who wlll.be Just what he
wants.
Here Is what The Springfield, Ohio, News
has to say about Smith’s visit to that
city:
"Billy Smith, of this city, th** clever man
ager of the Atlanta club, in the Southern
League, Is here.
"Billy Is looking for outfielders, ami he
stopped over in Cincinnati yesterday nnd
called on President Herrmann, of the
Reds.
"He put In n bid for Jess Becker, o|
whom he hns heard good reports.
•The Red chief told him thnt Beckw
would make the Southern trip with tht
Reds In the spring, and would be given a
thorough trial. If the youngster Is not
needed In the Red gardens, Atlanta will » t .j
ft chance for his services.
"Billy will spend the bnlance of the we.>$
looking over the material In the Centra!
League, In this city nnd Dayton. He alsc
expects to make Center Fielder Muggert, of
the Bluffton club, an offer, and he may
give Marshall Comlnger nnd Goodman, of
the same club, a trial lu faster company.
"The Atlanta lender will put In two ot
three weeks lu this part of the country,
and then return to the Georgia nietropolli
the wluter. Ho reports a successful
season In the South, and expects tc
strengthen his team so as to make a hard
fight for the pennant In 1307."
Nashville Wants a Manager
But Nobody Wants That Job
If any of you wise baseball guys want a
Job as manager of a Class A baseball team,
please apply to Nashville.
Time was when the average guy would
not have stood much chance for thnt Job,
but times have changed.
The once proud owners of the Nashville
franchise arc now willing to close with al
most anybody who will agree to stick by
the managerial Job for one season, come
what may. \
They even go further. They agree to fur
nish the manager with nil the advice they
• at linn*!. In fact, practically all that
the''mu linger will have to do will be to sit
around nnd look pleasant. The directors
III furnish nil the thinks. They did for
Mike Finn, nnd look what an easy time he
hail. Job wns such a cinch toward the end
thnt Mike resigned, just to get un occupa
tion.
Another advantage of the job—there nre
9 money worries. The tram never hns
any money, and how Is It possible to worry
about something you have not? There may
be some error In this reasoning, so we will
plum to the next point.
Not being any next point, It may be men
tioned that the Job has been offered to
Martin Hogan, and several others and thal
the following have been considered ns man
agers:
John J. McGrow, Napoleon LaJole, Chnrl**i
Zimmer, A. C. Anson, A. G. Spalding, mid
three or four others. They all said the)
had previous engagements.
The only real enndldntes for the Job sug
gested up to yet nre Al. Raymond. Thomni
Parrott. "Rough” Hausen. Whether any m
all of them would take It ns n gift remalbi
to he proven. It would lie a chance to
risk It. and In the meantime If anylwlj
wants the Job now Is the great and glorioui
time to apply.
Will thnt Castro scandal never "Hi
down?" Nashville, so It is said, Is sitting
up on Its hindlegs and howling for mort
money for the Dngo. Birmingham hns re
fused to 4?lve It. according to the Nashvlll*
American, which paper had the Inside dop*
on tho deni from the first.

RULE AGAINST "FOOTBALL STUDENTS”
DECLARED RETROACTIVE BY S. I. A. A.
' The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, at its last annual
meeting, passed a new section to Its bylaw’s which provided that no
man who left ootleRe at the end of the football season and did not
ttnish out the school year should he eligible to play on any team under
the Jurisdiction of the S. 1. A. A. during the next year. It was not made
clear, however, whethen or not this rule was retroactive and was cine to
bar men who played football last fall and then dropped out nt college
As several players who might (possibly appear on (deorgla teams this
year came under the workings of this rule th.’ sportlne editor of The
