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.

When the Southern Intercolle,u t , Athletic Association meets In u," : her., it Is probable that changes win >’ 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. .. at Its December meeting will pass oth. er restrictions looking to the puriOta. tlon of athletics In the South. ■ OHE op-THEM IS D^e- i=G<? THE t\OOK. 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.

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. Then again, the unscrupulous Jockeys who SEWANEE ALUMNI WILL MEET TO PLAN RECEPTION FOR TEAM A meeting of all Sewanee alumni of Atlanta and the vicinity ha* been called to take place at the Kimball house Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock, to make plans for a suitable entertainment of the Sewanee team when It cornea here Saturday for the game with Tech.
