Augusta, Ga., Oct 8.—The attend-
, ance tor the South Atlantic League
haa Juat been given out, and It ahowi
that there were 259,178 paid admla-
aiona to the guinea during the past,
year, with Savannah In the lead by
8,783, and Augusta aecond with a good
margin.
The attendance this year waa much
better than last, and with a tew ex
ceptions the clubs have made money.
In some ot the towns where bad man-
; ogement was the cause, there was a
I loss to the club owners, but the local
club ended for the first time In good
) shape, with something like 16,000 to the
! good. This waa due, however, to the
1 able management of Manager Ranslck,
who not only knew the game, but he
waa a good business manager.
Here Is the way the line-up waa In
regard to the attendance:
Savannah ..58,691
Augusta 47,908
; Macon-.. 44,279
Columbia ..40,864
! Charleston 88,258
I Jacksonville 31,178
Boston, Oct. 8.—Now that It la prac
tically certain that the Chicago Na
tionals and the Chicago Americans will
light It out for the world's champion
ship, a comparison of the teams will
not be odious as the old proverb would
(have us believe such a siting up might
he. Taking the teams by the depart
ments, It would appear that the Cubs
have a slight hunch over the White
I Box any way you compare them, and
in one or two Instances outclass them
by a goodly margin. Here Is about
the way the teams compare In their
various positions:
' Catching Department—Kllng of the
iNatlonals Is at least as strong a man
as Sullivan of the Americans, perhaps
a shade better. Moran easily classes
Iwlth McFarland of the Americans In
genesal ability, and Is a more reliable
man. Walsh and Towns are hardly to
be reckoned with, as they will not get
Into the series effectively.
Pitching Department—Browne of the
Nationals la a better man than any the
Americans can put forth, Walsh be
ing the nearest approach. He Is as
good a twlrler as the Americans can
boast ot Reulbach and Lundgren of
the Nationals have an advantage—
though not a great one—on Owen and
Patterson of the Americana Pflester,
the one left-hander on the Nationals’
stair, compares favorably with White
anO Altrock, the White Sox south
paws. The Nationals also have Jack
Taylor In reserve, although ho will
hardly be used except In case of ,ex-
‘TM^tanc of the Cub. ha.

Shortstop—Tinker of the Nationals
Is not the finished artist that George
Davis of the Sox Is. However, he takes
longer chances than the veteran, Is a
better thrower and Is a stronger bats
man In a pinch.
Third Bass—Lee Tannehlll Is faster
on his feet than Stelnfeldt, but Is so
far outclassed by the ox-Red as a bats
man that the Sox loom up lamentably
weak at the third corner compared
with tho Cubs. Stelnfeldt at that Is
not much behind Tannehlll as a fielder.
Left Field—Shecknr^ is n better hit

than Dougherty of the Sox, who shows
only occasional strength with the stick

Canter Field—Slagle Is us good a
fielder and base runner as Jones of the
Sox, but the latter hns It on the Cub In
hitting. At that Slagle gets to base as
often os Jones, his ability to work
pitchers for passes being a star feat
with him.
Right Field—Schulto of the Cubs Is

extra men In the business. Both are

Sox also hnve two good men In Dun-
don nnd Bohe, who, however, are not
quite In the same class with tho Cubs’
extra men.—Exchange.
'In a game which satisfied everybody
—players, coaches, all the members of
both teams, the spectators and the
managers—Tech defeated the North
Georgia Agricultural College team Sat
urday on Tech 'Held by a score of
11’to 0.
To the Dahlonega players the fact
that they held Tech down to no score
In the first half and only allowed two
touchdowns In the second was honor
enough. Last year the Dahlonega team
was beaten by Tech 54 to 0, and the
score of Saturday's game showed that
an Improvement had been wrought.
To the Tech team a mere victory
was enough. Coach Helsman did not
ask of his men that they run up a
large score. In the first half they
were under instructions to play
straight "1905 football,” but to kick ds
often as possible. The temptation to
run with the ball was too hard to
withstand, however, and there was not
enough kicking to suit the Wizard—
for which error of omission the team
was undoubtedly most gorgeously
ragged” during the intermission be
tween the halves.
In the second half Tech turned loose
Just one play, the "double-pasa-bchlnd-
thc-llne-fake attack-on-opponents-
rlghtond-followed-by-a-Iong - pass -to-
two-men-who- had-gone - around - the-
other-end play.'l It worked beautifully
time after time, and will make a good,
useful stock-play during the season. It
Is not worked as a trick, but Just an
ordinary straight play, under the new
rules. When It worked cdrrectly ■ the
Dahlonega team was clustered around
one end, and when the long forward
pass came It' found two Tech men
awaiting for It far away from all trou
ble. Once It worked for nearly 40 yards
and several times It netted between
20 and 30 yards.
This play, alternated with line burke
and kicks, brought the ball down due
to the Dahlonega line and line buck,
put It over. Means made the touch,
down and Davies failed on goal.
Then came the most brilliant play of
the day. Dahlonega kicked oft toward
the north goal for a bit more than 2!
yards and Davies, who secured the
ball, ran about 80 yards to u touch-
down. Hightower did some fancy
sprinting to get alongside of his team
mate, but when he got there ho did val
uable work In Interference all the way
down the field. Davies kicked the goal
After that neither side could score,
and the call of time found the ball
near the rplddle of the field.

. Boston, Mass, Oct 8.—A small army
•of fair golfers added gaiety and anl-
Imation to tho Brae Burn Club llnka at
'IWest Newton today. It was tho open
ing day of the twelfth annual national
'xromen’a golf championship. The In
ter-city matches last week served as
an exoallent preliminary to the blue
Itlbbon contest which will lost through-
'out the present week.
That this year’s affair will outshine
E of Its predecessors seems to bo a
rone conclusion. To begin with,
tournament Is mors truly national
a scope than has been the case In
lous years. The entry list Includes
Mat women golfers not only of New
X Boston nnd Philadelphia, but
jlhoae of the Went are equally well
'xapresented. The Chicago clubs have
’.sent their best players and Denver. St
■Louis and other cltlea have added to
tha list of Western representatives.
iMavlng the fint championship. In
1196. at Meadow Brook—which was not
[under United States Golf Association
Auspices—out of all calculations. It Is
Interesting to glance over the records
•of past tournaments. .
’ It was at the Morris county links In
(llll when the women first played for
the perpetual Robert Cox trophy, that
Mlaa Beatrix Hoyt, entering from Shln-
necock, led the field with a score of
86, ana eventually won out at match
play. In a violent storm at the Essex
County Club. Manchester, Mass, the
following year. Miss Hoyt again led
the field In the qualifying round, with
106, and at the Ardsley Club. In 1898,
Miss Hoyt returned a 92 on the first
day. The next year the same player
led again at the Philadelphia Country
Club/ with 97, while at Shlnnecock, In
MOO. Miss Hoyt did a 94.
All this time tho courses were stead
ily becoming longer, a fact noticeable
the following year at Baltusrol, where
four players tied at 97 for low score
in the qualification round. At Bal
tusrol the playing course was about
6,000 yards. The players came to the
Country Club of Brookline In 1902,
playing over a much shorter course,
which accounts for the 89 madh In the
stroke competition Jointly by Miss
Margaret Curtis and Miss Louisa
IWells. Without doubt the most meri
torious achievement from a scoring
point of view was the 94 of Mrs. Caleb
F, Fox over the long and difficult
Wheaton course In 1903.. <
PREPS WILL MEET.
The first local prep game will be
played Monday afternoon on the Peld-
mont park gridiron between the Geor
gia Military Academy team and the
Donald Fraser team. Both teams are
strong and the contest should be a
good one.

nesday night *t Rome against Joe

Tile two men will meet Wednesday
night at 8:30 o'clock on a ring erected

This fight promises to be nboUt the
best one which has been pulled off In
the South In a long time. Foy Is In
fine trim and believes that he will
have no trouble In disposing ot his
opponent. Rowe, however, Is said to
be a pretty likely scrapper and the
go should be worth watching.
Tho mntch was originally proposed
at 150 pounds, nt which weight Foy
challenges. But Rowe could not matte
It. nnd Foy agreed to take him on at
catch weights. Foy will, therefore,
have to concede Rowe about 8 pounds.

that a lnrge number will avail them

Tad Sees the Fight Pictures
and Says There Was No Foul
By TAD.
New York, Oct. 8.—If Referee George
Siler saw Nelson foul (Jans In their
fight he must havo have an eye like an
eagle and one that can aee more things
than the ordinary glim.
Last night at the New York roof
garden the moving pictures of that
great battle waa shown to the public
and tho house was so crowded that
the police refused to allow any more
Inside.
They showed us twenty-four rounds
of the battla from the beginning up to
the twentieth round, and then the last
six.
If the blow was foul I am blind,
seems to me that the punch landed
directly on Gans* belt* and not a bit
below.
Nplson stands In the center of the
ring dumbfounded. There Is a terrifle
uproar. The ring in crowded with
people, seconds are running around.
Gans is carried to his corner, and t^en
tho refereo declares Guns the winner.
Last night nt the roof garden they
discussed the picture and going out all
you heard was Nelson. But I must
say that the pictures were the biggest
surprise that I ever *xperleneed In my
life. After reading In the telegraphic
reports for weeks about the terrifle
All was well until the foriy-.hird SSSgaL SKlHLfflfcJBgr £* . KB

does the announcing and Just before
this round came up, said: “Watch
this round. This Is the last of the
great fight. I'll tell you Just when the
supposed foul happened and show you
Just where the men were when It come*
oft.”
On come* the picture. Nelson as us
ual backing Gans around the ring.
Slier, with hi* hands behind hi* back.
Is leaning over watching them closely
as Nelson belt* away at the body with
hi* left. Gan* ho* Nelson’s riglf* hand
under hi* arm and la backing around
the referee. Ills other hand Is across
his stomach trying to block the
punches that the tireless Rattler Is
raining. He backs and backs, and Nell
yell*, “Watch out, here it comes.
When they get near the ropes, watch
out.”
They scrap around Siler, who stand*
near the renter of the ring. Gan* has
hi* back bent over, still holding Nel
son'* right and they arc near the ropes.
Nelson's back Is to Slier for Just a
second. That Is, they move around so
that the referee Is directly behind
Nelson.
"Here it is," yells Nell, and’you see
Nelson hook It short against Gans. He
pected to see some pictures showing
the Dane simply slaughtered. I thought
It would be such a one-sided affair
that It would tire* you to watch, and
that I would wont to go outside after
a few rounds.
As a matter of fact, Gans did more,
blocking and backing away than any
thing else and If you count the punches
you'll see that Nelson lands about
three times to every one the champ
slips over.
Gans never once backs the Dane
around. He’s Jumping from side to
side, and running away on thl* aid*
and backing away on that.
The Western sporting men, who love
Nelson as they love a leper, eatd it was
a slaughter, but then I guess the New
York sports who saw It differently last
night must be blind. I guess the pic
tures were fixed over or something
like that. After looking at the pictures
you can't tell whether Gans quit cold
or It was a rob. If there was a low
blow struck It must have been after
the fight was over.
Very few In the big audience last
night saw It, as the announcer says:
If the referee says so. It must have
been.”

Sewanee, Tenn., Oct 8.—Football
practice at Sewanee has been seriously
Interfered with In the last week by
the dally rain storms which keep the
red clay field slippery.
Coach Quill has been working the
squad In the gymnasium, running, set
ting up exercises, basket , ball and sig
nal practice are the order of each af
ternoon's work.
Friday the rain stopped long enough
for a lino up between the ’varsity and
a picked scrub team. As most of the
scrubs were old "S” men, they made
the teams about evenly matched. The
score at the end of two 20-mlnute
halves was 6 to 6 In favor of the 'var
sity.
There was brilliant Individual play
ing but poor team work on both side*.
good scrub team is something that -Hc-
wanee can always depend upon, for
that renowned Sewanee spirit requires
every man big enough to carry a foot
ball across the field to turn out every
day In uniform.
An exciting rumor was started yes
terday to the effect that Eph. Klrby-
Smltb, brother of Lee Klrby-Smltb,
captain of the 1903 Sewanee eleven,
who played a star tackle on Sewanee
two years ago, will he able to play
this season. He has been working In
Mexico over n year, but Is anxious to
finish his college education before go
ing to work permanently. If It is true
that he will be back this year it will
mean a most valuable addition to the
Tiger line, as he Is heavier than he
was two years ago, when'he was coif-
sldered one of the best defensive
tackles In the South.
Notes on Saturday 9 s Game
The most delighted man on Tech
field Saturday afternoon was Coach
Crawford. He had succeeded in turn
ing out a team from Dahlonega mate
rial which made a brave showing
against Tech and he was satisfied-
even delighted. He ran up and down
the side lines like a wild Comanche,
shouting, waving hat nnd rain coat and
enjoying himself hugely.
Mr. Crawford deserves a world' of
credit for the work he has done with
the Dahlonega team. He has a strong
aggregation, considering the material
he has to draw front, and they played
good straight' football.
The -Dahlonega team let the "new
football" most severely alone. They
played the old-fashloaed game and they
played well. But they have got to come
to the forward pass and there is no
time like the present tor working at It.
Sims, Creel, Finley and Charters
were the North Georgia stars. Char
ters did some fancy punting and ran
the team well.
For Tech Davies was the large, bright
star. His work, both on offensive and
defensive, was very fine, and his run
through the entire Dahlonega team for
a .touchdown was as pretty a piece of
work as the year is likely to bring
forth.
Hightower did some fine playing, and
Luck showed most brilliantly. The rest
of the team played well and showed a
marked Improvement over their pre-
vious game.
The officials gave entire satisfaction
and "got away" with all their decisions.
The game waa a nice clean one, there
being no serious accidents, little time
taken, out and altogether It was a
most pleasing exhibition of the "new
football."
