n IIvolln mqicct nml soon the Indoor sports
trill lie going full tilt.
rhyslonl Director Theodore Toopol, who
tins charge of nil tin* Indoor work, states
thnt his gymnnnlmn Hasses have filled well
und thnt the prospn-ts are bright for 'i
lively season.
The first event of the Indoor season at the
Athletic flub will Is* n doubles handball
tourtiniuent. Orent rivalry exists In this
particular event and a score of teams are
already practicing. Later In the season n
tournament will also be held to determine
the singles championship of the club This
event will undoubtedly be hard fought. The
club has jH-rhaps a hundred members who
play handball, nnd perhaps half that num
ber who put up a tlrst-clnss game.
In lieecniber the annual contest to de
cide the champion nil round Indoor athlete
will be hold. Five events will be decided-
high Jump, broad Jump, rope-cllinblng.
weight lifting, nnd endurance run. This
contest always arouses considerable Inter
est.
The basketball enthusiasts of the club are
already talking of reorganizing the success
ful basketball team of Inst season. Proba-
bly the league of Inst year will Ik? revived
again, and if It Is the Athletic Cluh will
make a Mg effort to be represented again
vltli
Though some members of Inst year’s team
will not be able to play, still there Is plenty
of good material on hand.
Just where the games will be played has
not been determined ns yet, nnd Director
ToepH Is strong In the hope thnt the pro
posed armory will he Imllt, for If It Is It
will afford nn Meal floor for basketball.
The Indoor baseball enthusiasts have come
to life recently, and lire talking of organ
izing n couple of tennis. In yenrs past
the game has been very popular at the
Athletic Club.
THkcn altogether, the prospects for a
lively season of Indoor athletic work of
ous kinds have never been brighter
since the cluh was organized.
Dahlonega Working Hard
For Saturday’s Tech Game
Special to The? Georgian.
Dahlonega, Ga., Oct. 3.—Very little
can be determined about the Dahlonega
team until after It has played it game
or two nnd Captain Creel and Coach
Crawford are rather dubious about the
outcome of Saturday's game with Tech.
The Dahlonega team this year Is very
light ami rather green. Football Is a
new thing at the local college and It Is
rather a hard matter to get the right
kind of material at the start. However,
the squad this year Is made up «»f hard
workers, nnd If diligent effort Is worth
anything the Dahlonega team will make
a good showing.
An effort Is being made to build up
the game at the North Georgia Agri
cultural College, hut It Is known that
building up hall teams Is a slow pro-
Xuthlng Is being given out In regard
to the kind of game which will be
played, hut from conversation with
Coach Crawford It Is evident that the
straight game of old fashioned football
will be on tap. Coach Crawford Is
not much of a believer In the new game
and while some surprises may he look
ed for. It Is doubtful If anything radi
cally different from the game of last
year will he developed by the Dahlone
ga aggregation.
Flynn Hammered Insensible
in Fight With Tommy Burns
Dy C. E. VAN LOAN.
Los Angeles, Cal., (fit. 3.— Tommy
Burns whipped Jim Flynn by tin-
knockout route last night, lie took fif
teen rounds to do It, and tlmnks to a
blunder on Referee Robinson’s part,
Flynn lost the light twice in the last
round.
The Pueblo champion will now return
to railroading for he will not do. He
was slow and pitiably awkward, leav
ing himself open t<> hundreds of punch
es which ho might have avoided and
he was always a little behind the
schedule with his haymaker rights and
lefts.
Burns fought a fast fight, cutting out
a great deal of his fancy footwork and
going into the light like a wild man.
In the fourteenth round half a min
ute before the gong Burns walloped
over a right which landed on the point
of the Jaw. Jim's knees sagged and his
hands went down. For the Hist tl
In the light he was really hurt. Burns
knew he had his man going and putting
his left hum! against Flynn’s face,
pushed him away a full arm’s length
and whipped another right over. Flynn
Staggered, hut kept on his feet. For
SO seconds Burns bombarded Flynn's
chin with full-arm punches, but none
of them had enough steam to send the
groggy man to the Hoor. The bell
Stopped the punching bug work.
The rest helped Flynn some, but he
Was dazed when he came from his cor
ner. Burns rushed him Into a neutral
corner and lumled another right across
on the chin. Flynn went down on his
back, stayed there for live seconds,
dragged himself to his knees and In
this position was counted out. He rose
after the tenth second. Referee Rob
inson made a move to catch Burns’ el
bow and stop the fight, but changed his
mind, and stepped aside and allowed
Burns to continue fighting. Flynn was
all In nnd soon went down for the sec
ond time. He rolled over and found his
feet, again staggering Into the center
of the ling. Though ready to drop, he
was still game and made one or two
wild attempts to swing, finally going
down without a punch. Robinson forc
ed him to get up again nnd Burns toro
In for the last tfme. One more punch
which seemed to land high up on tho
side of the heud and Flynn lilt the floor
face downwurd.
It was no fault of Burns that Flynn
was not beaten twice, lie looked at the
referee after the second knockdown as
If to question the advisability of going
on with the slaughter, but Robinson said
nothing and there was nothing for
Tommy to do but continue.
For the first time in Los Angeles,
Tommy Burns elected to put up a fast,
rough fight. He soon found that Flynn
couldn't hit him; after that R was all
over with the Pueblo demon. He rock
ed his head with stiff upper cuts and
slathered him with full-arm swings.
Flynn locked his left arm around
Burns’ neck In the clinches and hung
on until the referee tore the men opart.
Both men were well marked. Flynn
split Burns’ right eye. Burns hammer
ed Flynn's nose out of shape and cut
him up otherwise.
Jim Jeffries was present In a front
seat and Jack O'Brien was at the ling
side. After much persuasion Jeff was
Induced to enter the ring and as e«*«*n
ns the big fellow got one foot through
the mpe* O’Brien dove through from
the other corner. The nun met in the
ring ami shook hands. After profuse
Introduction Mr. O’Brien made a
smooth little speech. He wound up
wbh the following nice little compli
ment to Jeff:
"The newspapers of the country have
sal. I that I am anxious to meet Mr. Jef
fries in the ling. 1 have met him in the
ring tonight and I want to say that this
Is the only way 1 ever want to meetj
ther
Jeffries showed himself to be
something of a salve peddler himself.
In his own speech, which follows:
"All I can say Is that I thank tho
gentleman for Ills compliment.”

The query came from St. !gilds. A bats

the ball to the pitcher, eorering the has*

decided thnt tho batsman should be cred

Lieby’s” Big League Dubut
Proves a Howling Success
It Is hard to sec
given on assist t
above.
Tho general rule
the
the first baseman Is
play mentioned
n giving assists Is: "An
assist should be given to each player who
handles or assists In any manner In han
dling the Imll from the time It reechea the
hat until It reaches the player who makes
the put-out, or In case of a thrown ball, to
each player who throws or handles It
cleanly nnd In such a way thnt a put-out
results or would result If no error had been
made by a team mate."
Now. If th.
by the first baseman
In time, so that the pitcher could get a put-
out nud the pitcher failed, then It look*
as though the pitcher made nn error. *
As tin* pitcher was not scored an error. It
Is obvious thnt the first baseman did not
get the ball to him In time, nud therefore
Is In no way entitled to an assist.
We bog to be excused for thinking thnt
President Pulliam Is In error.

Glen Ltebhnrdt, second bent pitch
er of the Southern League this year,
made ills debut In major longue com
pany In a most brilliant fashion Tues
day, when he pitched a game for Cleve
land against Detroit nnd let down that
terrible bunch of batters with three
hits und one run.
"Lleby" must hnvo been nil to the
best, for only In tho first inning could
the Terrible Tigers do any good against
him, though they hud a chance to take
advantage of three errors made by the
Clevelanders. .’’Wild Bill" Donovan
was In the box against the Southern
League product and ho was hard hit
by Larry Lajole and his bund of bat-
bonders.
The showing of Llebhardt will be o
source of gratification to his many
friends in the Southern League. Quiet,
modest, willing, untiring nnd everlast
ingly good-natured, the "Dutchman”
made friends of every man he came
in contact with, and nil unite In the
hope that his success In the American
League will be as great throughout his
entire career as It was in the opening
game.
What Llebhardt thought of his own
chances Is shown In the following ex
tract from a letter he sent recently to
T. G. Scarbrough, sporting editor of
Tho Commercial Appeal, of Memphis:
”1 doubt very much whether I will
work this fall, ns we are fighting for
the pennant ahd are working Joss,
Rhoades, Bernhard and Hess, who are
In fine trim. Unless we are put out of
the race I will sit on the bench. This
Is a grand ball dub. • • • I
not entertain any doubt of making
good. 1 won at Columbus last Sun
day, 8 to 3. I worked against Ber
ger, w ho Joins Cleveland in the spring.
They say I looked fine, but I did not
think I was just tight. Could not con
trol my spit ball. Was steady with
men on the sacks and didn't Issue a
pass, which Is probably why they
thought I looked so good. I will give
them tho best I have. The boys gave
me a warm reception nnd 1 feel at
home already. This Is a bunch Just
like our crowd at Memphis this season,
so you can Judge what u fine set they
are.
"I will return In- about three weeks
to Memphis and will winter In the old
town. Regards to uil the boys around
Memphis."
ATLANTA AUTOMOBILISTS
PLAN GREAT HILL CLIMB
Hope to Get Up Big Event With Several
Different Classes and to Offer Several
Valuable Cups.
ATTELL WILL
FIGHT BAKER
Los Angeles, Oct. 3.—Abe Attell, the
featherweight champion of the world,
has been matched to meet Harry Baker,
the recent graduate from the amateur
ranks before the Pacific Athletic Club,
of this city, In a 20-round bout sched
uled to take place on Tuesday night,
October 30.
The coming event which seems to be cast
ing the largest shadow' before In the local
automobile w'orld nt present Is a hill-climb
which Is lieJag planned for the latter part
of this month.
At the present time no de/lnlte plans
have been made, but nt least one cup hits
been offered, the hill hns been selected and
dealers nnd owners alike are enthusiastic
over the scheme. .
It Is proposed to hold the climb on the
hill on Stewnrt avenue about two and a
half or three miles from Atlanta. At this
point Is n rise In ground something over a
half tulle In length and sufficiently abrupt
to test the hill-climbing abilities of the
stouteat car. The road Is good, there are
no dnngerons turns, nnd altogether the hill
la voted the finest kind of a place for a
climb.
It la proposed to have at least four events,
lightweight, middleweight, heavyweight and
open, though a classification according to
price Is possible. In this way all ears en
tered—no matter what their horse power-
will have nn even chance of getting oue of
the prizes.
Hnough entries ran l»o counted on already
to Insure the success of-the scheme and
all It lacks just now* Is some one to start
the ball rolling.
In these days when track racing Is too
unpleasant nnd dangerous to Interest hiit
but the professional* and road raring f’ 9
almost as had on the drivers nnd gom*
times considerably worse for the spectators
nliout the only branch of the auto-raclnj
game left open to the amuteurs Is the i,m.
climb. This event Is fast growing In p.,p U .
larlty In various parts of the country a n <i
would undoubtedly take well In Atlanta,
No automobiles from Atlanta were sent to
Maron for the automobile races there. This
was due partly to the fact that cars trhltH
might have been entered If they hn<l ar
rived In time were delayed and did not
reach Atlanta In time to be shipped to Ma-
con for the races, nnd partly to the fact
thnt the prises offered were hardly suffi-
clently large to entertain tycal owners.
Manager Boll of the Capital City
mobile Co. announces that his company has
tnken the agency for the BuJek cars nnl
that a shipment of runabouts and tonneau*
Is now on the road.

Most of these boys must not weigh too
much. Otherwise they would not he able

Ing nil under 120 pounds, they are generally
under 15 years of nge.
For over twenty yenrs these little stable
hoys have been growing up without the
chance of acquiring even n smattering of
the knowledge of the proverbial "rcn-lln’

of the State Haring Commission Induced the
Jockey dub to take up the school Idea,
which seems to be very worthy.
