WHITING GEORGIA’S OPENING GAME RESULTS IN A VICTORY Social to The Georgian. university of Georgia, Athena, Oa., Oct. 10.—Tuesday afternoon the Georgia 'varsity and acrubi lined up against each other for the first regular practice game on Ilerty field, and the ’varsity won—16 to 0. Tho 'varsity team showed unexpected •trength In crucial times and both the line and back Held work was much atronger than expected. The game was almost entirely free of fumbles, something which Is not usual at this time of the season. The forward pass was used many times successfully by the ’vnrslty. It seems that the team has already nn unusually strong hold nn the points of “the new football." Kyle Smith, right half for the ‘varsity, made sevetpl long and spectacular runs, some netting from thirty to forty yards each. Kapler's line work was great and his work In blocking several kicks was superb. De Laperrlero. who has been out of the game for several days, today gained his father's consent to play, and went In and played a strong game at right tackle. Har mon showed up well also In the same po sition. Although there were no especial stars for 'varsity, Thurman, Itaoul and Kyle Kmlth t probably showed up n little more promi nently than any of the rest. It la a promising sign that there were i especial stars but that oil the men pulled together as a team. The scrub team seems to be unusually strong this year, and that usually tncaua a strong ‘varsity. For the scrubs. Graves, 8. O. Smith and McWhorter showed up bfsf. Graves kicked above the nvernge usually seen on a scrub team. Alex McDonnell, captain of scrubs, played a nice game. Only fifteen and ten-minute halves were played. , Dozier Lowndes umpired and Harrison Jones was referee. The line-tip was: ’VARSITY. # SCRUBS. Arrendsle, center.!

It seems Llebhardt, together with a bunch of the other fel lows, took in a skating rink at Detroit the othet; night, after Glen had won his game against the Tigers. The baron lodged his feet In a pair of the pesky things and started off. He went It sounded like a spit hall exploding. "Ach! I'm afraid he's out,” exclaimed Heine IJerger, Glen's boyhood chum. The Dutchmnn rolled over, shook his head and, holding up his hands about two feet apart, yelled: “I ain’t out! Missed me that far."— Memphis News Scimitar. How many people khow the full name of "Stony" McGlynn, the sensational young twlrler of the Cardinals, who shut out Brooklyn without a hit? Some one might at least have guessed. Maybe It was because he hod lots of "rocks." Or, some one could have suggested that he was somehow related to our paleozlc ancestors, who wandered around years ago without even breechclout on. Well, It's Just as well you didn’t guess, for you would have been wrong. "Stony" got his name from the fact that his parents came, one from the North and t’other from the South. Each was a hot partisan of the section hulled from, so, when the lad was born, they compromised on a name that repre sented both North and South and called him Grant Stonew'all Jackson McGlynn. Now', will you be good? Ills playmates cut the* name down to "Stony," and so It has remained ever since, and, If “Stony” keeps on pitch ing tho way he has been, his name will occupy a place in the baseball hall of fame, quite os high as the great gen erals of the civil war he was called after, whose names are dear to the heart of every American.—St. Louis Star-Chronicle. Hattiesburg will probably take Raton Rouge's place In the Cotton States League. GRANT TEAM PLAYS TECH iCHATTANOOGA FOOTBALLIST8 SECURED TO FACE TECH NEXT 8ATURDAY. The Grant University team of Chat- tanobga haa been eecured by Manager Chapman, of the Georgia School Technology to Ml tho open date In the Tech schedule and the two teams will meet Saturday ort Tech field. In addition to this game tho Tech ■econd team will play the Stone Moun tain eleven between the halves, so that the patrons of the game will witness two contests during the afternoon. The Grant game should prove on In teresting one. The team Is strong and will no doubt furnish plenty of speedy entertainment for Coach llelsman's ■quad. iNEW DOPE ON LEAGUE RACES In 1906 the Athletics copped the flax wl 92 victories and n final percentage of .621 Just om* year later the Box annexed the honor with a run of 93 vlewe* and a per centage of .616, thus showing how evenly balanced the two sensons were.

Just where the game will be played Is un certain. but It may be derided at Pied mont park as a feature of the state fair. These teams are evenly matched and the game should be a good one. Coach Patterson has Instilled a lot of foot ball and some considerable confidence into hts team and promises to spring a little of the new* football next Mon day. Considering the fact that almost ull of his men are beginners nt foot hall their showing of Monday was very unusual and with n few more w'eeks of training the team will be a hustler. CUBS ARB NOT DAUNTED BY DEFEAT AND WILL GO AFTER WHITE SOX AGAIN Chicago, Oct. 10.—Interest la at fever heat over the second game between the Cube and Sox for the world’s cham pionship, with the Sox one game to the good the odds have shifted and from top heavy favorites the Cubs have dropped to the second choice at odds of A to 6. Besides Hhelr advantage of winning the first game of the series, tho Sox today have the additional ad vantage of playing on their own grounds. The scene shifted to Thirty-ninth street and Wentworth avenue today. The weather Is bltlngly cqjd, but the sun Is making a persistent effort to show Itself and a big crowd will no doubt be on hand. A year ago, In the Inter-club series, the Cubs won the first game and the Sox the second. The Cub adherents are wondering If history will reverse Itsolt this year and the Cubs win the second game. So evenly Is the city divided over the question of the Sox and Cubs that something like l)alf the people hope that this very thing will happen. The other half—well. It Hopes that he Sox will keep right on and win them all. There are thousands of others ready but the Sox eeemed the least affected to cheer for either club. These are the Impartial fans who are loyctl to both clubs and only want to see the best team win. Then’there are others who would like to see each club win three games and then rain or aome other cause prevent the deciding game. Usually when a great gathering ex pects to see a mngnlflcent contest. It Is disappointed. The players them selves fall, or the game f» languid, fea tureless or without Interest. This was not the cose, however, In tho first clash of the respective American and Nation al League champions. While the work of neither team was up to their best, the game was brimming with excite ment, and the purtlsans of both teams were kept on the grill till the last out In the ninth Inning. Kling’s Work Off Color. Johnny Kling’s work behind the bat for the Cubs was a sore disappointment to the Cub rooters. He Is usually the most relluble backstop In cither league, but he had on oft day yesterday, and to one of his slips was due the first run scored by the White Sox. It was the opinion of many of the fans that the 8nx came nearly playing ■ip to their best form than the Cubs, nervousness was evident on both sides, by It. It ts expected the managers will not decide who will pitch until the very last moment, as was done yesterday. The Sox might possibly put Altrock In again. He Is a horse when It comes to hard work and will pitch every game if they will let him. The Cubs have Pflster, a left hander, they may put In, owing to the fact that the Sox are known to be weak In front of a left hander. Besides Pflster, there Is Ruelbach and the cold weather pitcher, Carl Lundgren. It will un doubtedly be one of these three, with the chances In favor of Ruelbach If the weather la cloudy when the game starts. His speed would then be an advantage. Today’s game will* start at 2: SO o'clock. Here le the Lint-up. American League Champs Capture Opening. Game WHITE SOX (CHICAGO AMERICANS) CUBS (CHICAGO NATIONALS) Chicago, Oct. 10.—The rank outsider In the betting copped the opening race for the world's championship In base ball when the Chicago Americans de feated the Chicago Nationals In a great game by a score of 2 to 1. The vast crowds which were expect ed by everybody failed to materialise. This fact was largely due to the cold weather, the snow Hurries, the fear that seats wouldfcot be obtainable and to other conditions. In consequence only 12,693 people saw the game. What would have been a grand con test was marred by the cold weather. With numb hands It was impossible always to handle the ball perfectly and the perfect fielding machine of the Cubs slipped just one cog, which cost the game. s In the fifth Inning, after Rohe had hit a three-bagger and Donohue fanned, Dougherty worked the squeeze by bunting a beauty down toward Pitcher Brown. Brown fielded It and threw to the plate to head oft the fast-fiylng Rohe, but Kllng dropped It. That let in the first run. In the sixth the White Sox scored again. Altrock ambled to first on four wide ones, Hahn laid down a nice sac rifice, Jones singled to center and Alt rock tried to score. Hoffman whipped the ball back to the pan, however, and the Sox pitcher was tagged. Jones went to second on the play and to third when Kllng allowed a ball to pass him. Isbell then elngled and the 8ox scored the last and the winning run. The Cubs made their only scor. i. the sixth. Kllng walked and went I second on Brown’s hit. Hoffman ad vanced both on a sacrifice and km.I scored on a wild pitch. Mlri * After that neither side scored the game ended, amid great enthn.i asm, with the score 2 to 1 In , the White Sox. “ " ,,r 01 The score follows: asiehicaSs— AS.

Rank errora lost the first game of the world'a championship series. Not a run waa earned—In any seuse of that much-abused term. But then It waa very cold—and baseball, the most uncertain of all "atralght” games, at Its moat uncertain stage In cold weather. If Kllng hadn't had cold feet—or was It cold hands—the score might have been 1 to at the end of the ninth Inning. Playing bnaeball championships In snow storms la one of the penalties of long sen- sons. October la a pretty cold month In the North, and yet that la the month when all baseball championships will hare to be decide*}, under the present schedules. How would It be to transfer the baseball rhnmplonahlpa to some Southern city? At lanta, say? Not particularly baseball-like here these days, though. The odds on the championship games have gone back to even money. Talk about those ex-Southern Leaguers! Iluhn did not make any fool of himself and Rohe was the hero of the game. And they both came from New Orlonna- though we should not hold that ngainit them. Wonder If the National* will have ns good luck on the American League diamond m the Americans did when the coudltloui were reversed? Hahn, once the most terrible hatter for the Southern League, led off the hotting for the Box. The first time up he fanned. Tinker was the first man to get n ball outside the diamond. He filed out to Hahn. That was the last ont lu the second inning. Brown struck out five men In the first three Innings. The first renyy brilliant play of the day came In the fourth, w'hen Bhecknrd sent a fast one down to Donohue. Jlggs got hold of It by an efTort and threw to Altrock, who covered first. The pitcher had to do sums fancy work, but he held the ball. Little Evers was spiked lu the eighth Inning, but continued to play. The Injury Is not regarded as serious. Brown Struck out seven men, Altrock three. Kllng hnd three passed balls scored ngntnRt him: Pretty bad for a star* cntcher-but there Is the weather which has to be taken Into consideration.
