Louis C. the winner of the third race, la the horse which fen on Wednesday when Jockey Welnwrlgbt was hurt.

MANAGER SMITH HAS SECURED SEVERAL Billy Smith, manager of the Atlanta baseball team, ia back from hla scout ing trip through the middle North, re splendent In a new outfit of clothes which will make the other Southern League Beau Brummels sick with envy. Also, Billy la full of baseball news. For one thing, he has practically closed with Harry Ostdlck, last year with the Canton, Ohio, team of the Central League, to help Sid Smith out with the catching for the Crackers next year. He has also Garry Herman’s promise of first call on the services ot Beeker, an outfielder, who led the Cop per League In batting this year with ah average of .360. In addition to this, he has draUs ready to slip In for six men—three pitchers, an outfielder, a catcher and a third baseman. The last-named man he considers about the very best In the business. Beeker will undoubtedly be secured by Smith. Cincinnati will not be able to use him next year and Garry Her man has ugreed to let Smith have him If Cincinnati does not want him. He played with the Lake Linden team last year and looks promising. Smith was also much Impressed with Ostdlck. This man got a trial'with Cleveland a couple of years ago and showed up well. He is a big man, fast and a hard hitter. Smith saw Harley while he was In Springfield. Dick’s father died while Smith was In Springfield. He was 70 years old and had always been a great baseball fan; In fact, he saw a ball game the Tuesday before' his death, which occurred on Thursday. Smith .had several talks with Clark Griffith, manager of the New York Americans, while he was In the North, and says that there seems to be little change of getting Tom Hughes back from the Highlanders. He thinks, how ever, that Griffith may let him have Leroy, and he has-already been offered first, call on Sallee, the ex-Birmingham star. ... Smith reports' that ' Llebhardt has made good and that he wlllundoubted- ly stick Foy All Ready For Staten Chicago, Oct. 12.—George Rohe, the ex-Southern Leaguer and ex-outlaw won the third game of the world*# championship series for the Chicago Americana here yesterday by lining out a triple, with three men on baaea The three runs which hie hit forced across the pan were the only ones' made during the day. The game was the best of the series- The weather was a bit warmer, the at tendance much larger and the ball playing a little higher class. Roth pitchers were iri rare form. Walsh ■truck out a dozen men and allowed only one base on balls, while Pfelster fanned nine. Eddie Hahn, the ex-New Orleans star, was badly hurt during the prog ress of the game. In the sixth Inning one of Pfeister’s hard-thrown, balls caught him In the face and he went to the ground with a fractured beak. He was forced to leave the game and O’Neill went In in his place. The damage to the reputation of the j National Leaguers was done In the . sixth Inning. Tannehlll opened up the inning with ! a single. Walsh was walked and Hahn ! was hit. O’Neill took first for the In- J Jured man. Things looked bad for tho ! Nationals,, but Jones and Kling were ‘ easy outs, and Rohe, the "flll-ln" man, , came to bat. Nobody expected any- ! thing especial of him, but he surprised i them with a three-bagger to left field, ’ which scored three runs—the onlj three of the game. During the rest of the contest, as In all thd previous Innings, the pitchers had everything their own way and neither side got a man anywhere near scoring territory.

It.-We will have » chenvii It k i little of tho real ti.ffjr ooreelvn next week when the old favor ites—McGovern sud Corbett-book up In 'Philadelphia. It la not no very far nwny at that. Wednesday la pretty elo.e. nnd both the eld champions hnve been working as In olden dnya, ready to show us fust - who la the renl champion. Of course, you knew that "Corbett wal lop." It always count* eight points when you fire making on the itrlng, but Terry NAT KAISER & CO. Bargains in unredeemed Dia- monds.

Thoy don't lovo one nuother nny too well, either. Thnt little threo-round bout they hnd nt the ball park a few months ago gave a pretty good line oil the two, nnd Terry was right there with tho speed that day. Corbett had better unbuckle all he hnd on Uregglan's cheat protector, so that he will be nice and loose next Wednesday. A few of the old-timers might drop Terry again, hut Tarry la a hnrd fellow to figure. Remember bow they doped him to run see- oud In the Drltt go, and bow' be made that unlive atop! Joe Humphreys baa arranged for a spe cial train to Philadelphia Wednesday night when Terry and Young Corbett meet In the Qnnkcr City. Terry le working hnrd at Johnaon'a rood house, determined to get revenge for hla two defeats at Young Corbett's hands. Jack Foy, the local middleweight who now claims the championship of the South at iila weight, returned Thurs day from Kome, where on Wednesday night he knocked out Joe Rowe, of An niston, In the aecond round of what was scheduled to he a twenty-round fight. Foy was accompanied by hts trainer and manager, 8. Ventura. Foy now challenges Harry Staten, another local middleweight, to meet him at 148 pounds for a side bet and any purse which can be secured. Foy Is willing to meet Staten at any point where they offer the money and hopes for an early chance at hla local rival. Foy Is practically unmarked as a re sult of hla fight with Rowe. The only time that the Anniston fighter landed was a stray blow to the point of the Jaw, which sent Foy to the mat. This jolt raised a small bump, but It was practically the only lick of any conse quence which was slipped by the Ala bama slugger. Foy was confident from the start and when the band struck up Dixie as he entered the ring he did a few dance steps and brought out a round of ap plause from the crowd. He went right at Rowe, was the aggressor an tho time, and had his man on the jump all the way. It was ugreed that thero was to bo no hitting in the clinches, but the Anniston fighter did not live up to this and Foy claimed a foul. Maher, who was refereeing the fight, would not al low this and afterwards they roughed It In the clinches to a considerable ex tent. The bell was all that saved Rowe 1n the first round. The Alabaman was trying to land on his opponent with swinging blows, but Foy had little trou ble In warding off these and continu ally chopped at his man with straight rights to the stomach, chin and face. Just before the bell rang Rowe went down and Maher was forced to help him up. Thirty seconds more of fight ing In this round would have put him out. In the eecond round Foy went right after his man and hammered him all around the ring. Finally, he went down, and though not clear out, he crawled behind the referee, who de clared the fight In Foy’s favor. If Rowe had come to his feet he would have soon gone over with a final knock-out. Manager Ventura Is much encour aged over the showing his man made and believes that he will easily be able to defend his title of champion of tho South. It Is hoped that time Staten fight will soon be pulled off. Mississippi Comes Next to Meet the Commodores BOOST FOR GEORGIAN. 8[*olal to The Georgina.

The University of Mississippi will be here the last of this week to meet Dan McGugln's squad of football warriors on Dudley Field Saturday afternoon. Tom Hammond, the Mississippi coach and an old Michigan star In the days when McGugln was playing football at Ann Arbor, was here last Saturday to see the Commodores play, with the Idea, of course, of getting a line on their style of work, In an effort to help his own squad to make a better show ing. Before Hammond came up here to post himself the atmosphere around Oxford was so heavily laden with gloom that It would be thought from the talk going out to the world that the students there had all Just gradu* nted from the kindergarten schoole. But right on top ot this “gloom" talk came tho game with Maryville, the surprlee of the South In football circles. The East Tennessee squad, not even sup posed to be In the running, started out by ploying n tie game with the eleven of Helsman tho Great. They have since held the University of Alnbama to one touchdown, nnd played yesterday a 0 to 0 game with Auburn. Neither Ala bama nor Auburn professes to have weak teams, but neither could do as much with Maryville as did Tom Ham mond's kindergarten class. Mississippi had first whack nt the Maryville team and won by a score of 16 to 6. - The Alabama und Auburn games followed two days upnrt, the men, of course, being worse battered up than In the Mississippi game. But still tho gloomy talk continues. Hammond has evidently absorbed this trait from Yost, who Is great on talk ing about poor prospects und then do ing big things. Hammond was asked If he was writ ing the articles of misery that were going out from Oxford, but he only smiled nnd said nothing. He was also asked how many old University of Vir ginia nien he hnd down In Mississippi, but his only answer wus another smile. He looked real sad. however, when ask ed how many men were turning oift for practice, and whether rain was Inter fering with his work or not, nnd launched Into a long explanation ot the uwful fix ho was In. Hammond started tn with five of the old men of Inst year and the same number of the old scruba, who have In practice this fall shown up extremely well. There are other scrubs and suba there and several promising new tnen. The old men are Huggins, McLeod, Bates, Becket and Perkins, and ths old scrubs showing up most prominently are Cunningham, Pllklngton, McDon nell, Beall and Robinson. It Is usually these gloomy talkers that put up the stlffest arguments, and Dan McGugln Is nreparlng the Commodores accordingly. —Laps O. McCord, Jr., In Nashville Banner. SPEED DEMONS ALL SCATTER New York, .Oct. 12.—The foreign apeed demons who participated In the Vanderbilt auto race have scattered.

The sun Is shining brightly, but there Is an unpleasant rawness In the atmosphere, totally out of keeping with baseball. The Sox, leading once more In the thrilling dash for the world'B baseball championship, assert that they will sur prise all fkndom by winning the .world’s series from the Cubs. Chance and bis men, even though they are behind, with one game won, to two for the Sox, are still confident of the outcome, and vow that they will win the race. The Sox have the advantage, as the Cubs must win two games In succes slon to beat the White Stockings. • I tho two teams keep on alternating the Sox will land the pannant, having the start of the Cubs by winning the first game. The betting became more lively to day and the White Sox were made even money men again. With the men who are taking the money. It is “toss tip and take your pick.” With two games won, and only two ptore to win, occasionally a rabid White Sox rooter could be found who wanted to offer odds on the Sox. This was un usual, since it was the first .time that the Sox had been installed as favor ite*. They were favorites to win the first game.on their own grounds, but lost. They were made favorites again today, tho price being 7 to-5, but only as winner of the home game. Should they win today they will become pro nounced favorites for the world's cham pionship. More attention than ever. Is being TABLOID DOPE. Talk about those ex-Southern Leaguers— they will break into. the headlines, and you can’t keep them out. ilabu allowed his nose to be broken in a good cause, and Rohe won the game. Lee Tannehlll, tho man who made the hit that started the pyrotechnics, used to play In the South, too; both In Macon and Selma, New York, Oct. 32.—Patrons of pool are to have something of Interest to excite their attention this fall, as there Is a strong probability thnt John Porgan, of St. I^ouIs, present holder of the world’s championship emblem, will play Jerome Iloogh, of Buffalo, the challenger, in this city.
