THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, TUESDAY OCTOBER,
ATLANTA SECURES FIVE
OF MEN SMITH DRAFTED
Spade, Sweeney and Walker From the Sally
Leagued Ford, of Cedar Rapids, and
Paskert, of Dayton, Were Secured.
The Atlanta baseball club haa se
cured by draft Spade, a pitcher, from
Macon; Ford, a pitcher, from Cedar
Rapids; Sweeney, a catcher, from Co
lumbia. S. C.; Walker, a pitcher, from
Jacksonville, and Paskert, a left fielder,
from Dayton.
Austin, the star of the collection
Smith tried to draft, was secured by
some other club. •
This was the news received at fire
headquarters this morning In'a tele
gram from Secretary Farrell, of the
national assoclatldh.
Secretary FarrelPa telegram read:
“Austin drafted by two clubs. At
lanta lost Austin In the drawing. Oth
ers O. K. Do you wish name another
player, or shall I return check?”
The loss of Austin was a hard blow
to Billy Smith.
“He was the best man In the lot,"
said Smith. r, I think that he Is the
best minor league third baseman I have
seen this year. I wish I could have
got him.
"The other men were all right I did
not have much hope of getting Spade
from Macon. He won 20 out of 26
games and Is one of the best ever
turned out of the South Atlantic. Ford,
who played with Cedar Rapids, is a
tine man. He won 26 and lost. 8 games
during the year. I don't know' so much
about Sweeney, the Columbia man, but
Larry Hoffman recommended him very
highly and everybody who haa seen
him work says that he Is good. Walk
er, that Jacksonville left-hander, la
an all right man, arid Paskert. the
Dayton left fielder, will be one of the
stars of the league. I think Paskert
and Austin were the best men I put In
drafts on. I suppose I was lucky to
mJsa only one."
Billy Smith saw another pretty good
third baseman on his tours, and he will
put in a draft on him, provided some
other club has not already beaten him
to the man.
Grouched By Bad Decision
B. H. S. Team Quits Field
n
- Because of learlnf the field before the
game wss finished nt Piedmont park Mon
day afternoon, the Boys' High school team
forfeited* to the Georgia Military academy
team.
* This piece of childishness ruined what
was otherwise a hard-fought, well-played
and—to the spectators—u thoroughly en
joyable game.
Undoubtedly, the Boys’ High school team
got the worst of th« decision which caused
the team to leave the field with the score
Georgia Military academy 12, Boys' High
school 10. The Georgia Military academy
. team made a forward pass and the ball
.touched the ground before the Georgia Mil
itary academy player reached It. This fact
f was overlooked by lteferce McCay, mid lie
allowed the play to go on. Instead of turn-

When the Southern Intercolle,u t ,
Athletic Association meets In u," :

made’in the qualifications of athleilol
In the future. . The most Important ot
these wlllprobably be the passage
o rule that hereafter - a
no man shall
be allowed to compete In an int.7
collegiate contest until after he has
been a student at the Institution on
whose team he plays at least one >•„,
.• This Is a rule that has been adopts
by the. universities of the Middle Km.
and It Is believed that it wilt g0 ftr
toward priventing the present gll
vasslng for good prep, school and other
material.
It Is probable that Dahlonega win,*,
ply for admission to the 8. I. A. a. tl
an early date.
Heretofore Dahlonega has ranked a.
a prep, sehool, and players could learn
there and go to other, colleges and pis/
on the teams there without being sub.
Ject to the one-year rule.
It -la probable that the S. I. ..

TAD'S CONCEPTION OF THE RETURN TO THE FOOTLIGHTS OF TERRY M’GOVERN ANDYOUNG CORBETT
CORBETT KNOCKED M’GOVERN OUT TWICE
AND MAY REPEAT DOSE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
By TAD.
New York. Oct. 1*.—Terry McGov
am and Young Corbett wltl meet In the
ring for the third time tomorrow night
at Philadelphia.
Corbett has knocked Terry out twice
and the opinion • Is. prevalent tn sport
ing clrclesu'that the boy' from Denver
has the Brooklyn lad's ,’goat. •' “ '
There Is something about Corbett that
seems to scare the Terrible One. It
may be that mesmeric eye of Corbett'g.
may be that Terry fears the terri
ble punch. It msy be* that Terry loses
heart when he smashes the Denverite
full on the Jaw and It hat no effeat. At
any rate. Terry McGovern ts not
Terry when he faces Corbett.
I remember sitting at the ring-side
almost four years ago, when Terry and
Corbett met for the second time. Terry
had claimed that their previous battle
was a duke. He claimed that Corbett
won with a lucky punch.
This battle was to prove whether he
did or not. That afternoon when they
weighed In at Harry Corbett's the lit
tle Denverite did not even look over at
Terry. He simply Ignored him. Terry
watched Corbett dress, undress and
weigh. He Was all eyes and eager to
pounce upon him. Corbett was* as cool
and as distant ns the north pole. It
was part of his trick to make Terry
lose his head, and It worked.
When they entered the ring Corbett
was the same; he did not look toward
Terry's corner before time.
When the gong sounded Terry was
not the slashing little tiger that we had
seen‘ : before 1 ; In battles. He was all'
hunched up, covered well and eased up
to Corbett like'the lamb that goes'to
slaughter.
they clinched. He did the same agali
nml-Terry missed once more, and then
Corbett' punched him In the mouth,
sending Terry flat on Ills back. As he
fell Terry smiled and shook his head
toward his corner, as much as to say,
"It's no use; 1 can't keep away from
that fellow's wallop."
He got up at the count of nine nnd
fought like a tiger. Corbett kidded
Terry, making the latter lose his head,
but he failed to drop Terry again until
the eleventh round, when he knocked
him out.
In the tenth round Corbett had Terry
In a corner and was saying:
“Why don't you quit again as you
dtd In Hartford ?"
Terry rushed with a right upper cut
and as Corbett ducked caught him in
the pit of the stomach. The Denverite
doubled up, the crowd howled and
Terry whaled away like a mad man,
tryiqg to drop him.
Corbett kept Ills two hands over hit
body und backed around the ring, tak
ing left and right In the face without a
wince. The bell clanged, saving Cor
bett and stopping the cheers of the Mc
Govern men.
In the eleventh Corbett came up
fresh again. '"You live In Brooklyn,
eh?” said Corbett, smiling at Terry.
"Well, you came a long way to get
this," und bahg went his left on Terry's
Jaw.
Terry wobbled a bit, rushed In again
and stopped another. He was In bad
shape, und Corbett followed him across
the ring. He drew Terry's fire with a
feint and then crossed his right over
on the Jaw, and Terry crumpled up like
a punctured balloon.
"You won't get up.” said Corbett ns
he looked down at Terry.
The latter rolled over on hlif back,
then crawled upon his knees and seem
ed to wait for tho count. Ho steadied
himself with the rope, and Just as
Referee Graney counted ten Terry got
up. He was awfully groggy, barely
able to stand, and was counted nut.
He was beaten. If Terry did get up
befftre the ten he was helpless, and
Corbett might have dune harm punch
ing him.
With all of Corbett's kidding and
walloping, It was a great battle. It
looked like Corbett most of the way,
but we never know at what moment
Terry might get him.
Wednesday night they meet again.
It will be a regular old "log cabin
andy slug fest,” too. Watch for It.
f Straightaway Racing" Now
Roasted By All Spectators
By J. 8. A. MAC DONALD.
New York. Oct. 10.—A great hue ami cry
l» beard from tl»o army of rare player*
whenever I he ahlft to Belmont park come*

of "straightennjr raring" in vogue nt this
newest of Jot-key Club rnclug course*.
Nothing la quite so unpopular sninng tho
patrons of the sport ns the race* where
the contending field of horses runs straight

The only spectacle afforded In a "sti night-
away" race I* the rttifnli of the horses
through the flnal furlong. Then you are
able to fflsoern the • itelmg l****Mi..}i »*f
the several contestants, and only then.
At Brighton Beach, the most democrat U;
course.in America, each'race I* run on a
circular track which permits the observer
iv! the grand stand to see practically evert
change In. the portions of the horses
ns they tun nnd to tell just ubnt horses
are making the pace and Just what horses
are beaten nt the start. Th* 'Straight*
nwny" best resembles n long straight In tie.
The spectator seen the horses approach
head-on lit n cloud of dust. Not # nntll they
are within If) yard* or so Is the* spectator
iu n position to determine what Uorso is
winning.
' The real Interest of the race centers In
that Inst hundred yards. Then ngnlii the
spectator Is unable to gather any informs*
tlon from a "straightaway" race as to
the "form" of the home* Iwhltid the win
ner. One of them might hate 10*011 prac
tically left. and. by finishing fifth in n
field of ten or twelve horses, rtui a better
than the winner.

that the entertainment will be fitting may be depended upon.
