GEORGIA'S OPENING GAME
RESULTS IN A VICTORY
University of (Unitto, Athens, flu., Oct
Toesday afternoon the Georgia ’varsity
and scrubs lined up against eacb other for
the first regular practice game on Ilertj
field, and the ’varsity won—16 to 0.
Tho ’varsity team showed unexpected
strength In crucial times and both the line
and hack field work was much ttronger
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 hy the 'varsity. It seems that
the team has already an unusually strong
hold on the points of "the new football."
Kyle Smith, right half for the ’varsity,
made several long and spectacular ruus,
some netting from thirty to forty yards
each.
Napier’s line work was great and his
work In "blocking several kicks was su|»erb.
De 141 peril ere, who has l»een out of the
game for several days, today gnlned his
tether's consent to play, and went In and
jfayed a strong game at right tackle. Har
mon showed 4 up well also In the same po
sition.
Although there were no especial stars for
'varsity, Thurman, Raoul and Kyle Smith
probably showed up a little more promi
nently than any of tfte rest
It Is a promising sign that there were no
especial stars but that all the men pulled
together as a team.
The scrub team seems to be unusually
strong this year, and that usually meaus
strong ’varsity.
Pot, the scrubs. Graves, 8. O. Smith and
McWhorter showed up best. Graves kicked
above the average usually seen on a scrub
team. Alex McDonnell, captain of acruba,
played a nice game.
Only fifteeu and ten-minute halves were
played.
Dosler Lowndes umpired and' Hurrlson
Jones was referee.
The line-up waa:

Rumor has It that Elmer Flick Is

land boy and he figures that that fact
counts against him.
Clark Griffith wanta a rule passed hy

Connie Mack’s experiments with be

league race.
Some one up around Cleveland la re
sponsible for a story that sounds just
the least bit Ashy. It seems Ltebhardt,
together with a bunch of the other fel
lows, took In a skating rink at Detroit
the other night, after i Glen had won
Ills game against the Tigers. The
baron lodged his feet In a pair of the
pesky things and started off. He went
line for a few minutes, nnd then—
Bump! Bump!
It sounded like a spit ball exploding.
"Ach! I’m afraid he’s out,’’ exclaimed
Heine Herger, Glen’s boyhood chum.
The Dutchman rolled over, shook his
head and, holding up hla hands about
two feet apart, yelled:
’’I ain’t out! Missed me that far.

How many people know the full name
of “Stony" McGlynn, the sensational
young twlrler of the Cardinals, who
shut out Brooklyn without a-hlt?
Some one might at least have
guessed. Maybe It waa because he
bad lots of “tocks."
Or, some one could have suggested
that he was somehow related to our
paleoalc 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
thnt his parents came, one from the
North and t’other from the South. Each
was a hot partisan of the section hailed
from, so, when the lad was born, they
compromised on a name Hint repre
sented both North nnd South anil
called him Grant Stonewall Jackson
McGlynn.
Now, will you be good?
His playipates cut the name down
to "Stony,*’ nnd so It ha* remained ever
since, and, If “Stony" keeps on pitch
ing the way he has been, hla name will
occupy a place In the baseball hall of
fame, quite ns high as the great gen
erals of the civil war he was called
after, whose names nre dear to the
heart of every American.—St. Louis

“80CKIN’”’EM!
CUBS ARE NOT DAUNTED BY DEFEAT
AND WILL GO AFTER WHITE SOX AGAIN
Chicago, Oct. 10.—Interest Is at fever
heat over the second game between the
Cubs and Sox for the world's cham
pionship, with tho Box 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 4 to 6. Besides their advantage of
winning the flrat game of the series,
the 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 cold, 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,
tho Cubs won the first game and the
Sox the second. The Cub adherents
are wondering If history will reverse
Itself this year and the Cub, win the
second game. 1, .
So evenly Is the city divided over the
question of the Sox and Cubs that
something like half the people hope
that this very thing will happen. The
other half—well. It hopes that he Sox
will keep right on and jtvln them all.
There are thousands of others ready
to cheer for either club. These are the
Impartial fans who are loyal to both
clubs and only want to see the best
team win. Then there are others who
would like to pee each club win three
games and then rain or some bther
cause prevent the deciding game.
Usually when a great gathering ex
pects to see a magnificent contest, It
Is disappointed. The players them
selves fall, or the game Is languid, fea
tureless or without Interest. This was
not'the case, however. In the first clash
of the respective American nnd Nation
al League champions. While the work
of neither team was up to their best,
the game was brimming with excite
ment, and the partisans of both teams
were kept on tho grill till the last out
In the ninth' Inning.
Kiing’s Work Off Color,
Johnny Kllng’s work behind the bat
for tho Cubs was a sore disappointment
to the Cub rooters. He Is usually the
moat reliable backstop lit either league,
but ho had an off day yesterday, and
to one of his slips was due the first
run scored by the White Sox.
It was tho opinion of many of the
fans thnt the Sox came nearly playing
up to their best form than the Cubs.
Nervousness whs evident on both sides,
but the Sox seemed the least affected
by It.
It Is 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 Pftster, 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 Is cloudy when the game
starts. His speed would then be an
advantage. .
Today's game will start at 2:30
o'clock. •
Hsrs Is th* Line-up.

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 materialize.
This fact was largely due to the cold
weather, the snow flurries, the fear
that seats would not 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 waa Impossible
always to handle the ball perfectly and
the perfect fielding machine of the
Cubs slipped just one cog, which cost
the game.
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 off the fast-flying
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 singled and the Sox scored
the last and the winning run.
1
The Cubs made their only score i.
the sixth. Kllng walked and went to
second on Brown’s hit. Hoffman ad
vanccd both on a sacrifice and Kilns
scored on n wild pitch.
After that neither side scored and
the game ended, amid great enthusl-
asm, with the score 2 to 1 In favor ,<r
the White Sox. ‘

THE AFTERMATH.
Imlldom echoes now lie dead
Upou the field where I-arry b*d.
Within the park. a shadow gray.
The grand stand walls have overcast;
A ahndnw that alone Will stay
Until the winter winds have passed.
There'll bo no ehndow of tho flag,
The pennnnt bee Is In Its bag.
Across the shadow stmietlines drift
Live memories that somehow trace
A sudden dnsli—a motion swift,
A picture of a sunburnt face.
I see Tuck Turner’s silvery "shack;’
Kay, wasn’t he a cracker Jack?
.... more will Turner cover ground.
The Inst gnme has been lost and won.
No more ngnlnst the grand stand wall
Will Mg Clarke cbnso the festive ball.
And bs the autumn chill comes on,
And blue skies fade to winter’s gray.

It waa a bad day for the Spuds.
Hurrah for the White Sox and the Amert-

Rank errora lost the flrat game of the
world's championship series. Not a run wna
earned—In any aense of that much-abused
term.
But then It was gerjr cold—and baseball,
the moat uncertain of all "straight" gamea.
Is at Ita most uncertain atage In cold
weather.
If Kllng hadn't had cold feet—or was It
cold hands—the score might have been 1 to
1 at the end of the ninth Inning.
Playing baseball championships In snow
storms Is one of the penalties of loug sea*
October Is a pretty cold month In
the North, and yet that la the month when
nil baseball championships will have to be
decided, under the present schedules.
How would It be to transfer the baseball
championships to some Southern city? At
lanta, say?
Not particularly baseball-like here these
dsys, though.
Tho odds on. the championship games
have gone back to even money.
Talk about those ex-Southern Leaguers!
Ilahn did not make any fool of himself and
Roho was the hero of the game.
And they both came from New Orlenns-
though we should not hold that agalust
them.
Wonder If the Nationals will have as good
luck on the American League diamond n»
the Americana did when the conditions
were reversed?
Hahn, once the moat terrible batter for
the Southern League,-led off the batting for
the Sox. The first time up he fanned.
Tinker was the first roan to get a bull
outside the diamond. He filed out to Hahn.
That was the last out In the second lnuln^*.
Brown struck out five men In the flrat
three Innings. \
The first really brilliant play of'the dny
came In the fourth, when Sheckard sent u
fast one down to Donohue. JIggs got hold
of It by an effort and threw to Allrock, who
covered flrat. The pitcher had to do some
fancy work, bat he held the ball.
Little Evers was spiked In the eighth
Inning, but continued to play. Ths Injur/
Is not regarded as serious.
Brown struck out seven iben, Altrock
three. 1
Kllng had three passed balls scored agaln*t
him. Pretty bad for a star catcher—but
there Is the weather which, has to be takeu
Into consideration.
