TECH HARD AT WORK
SEWANEE’S GREAT FOOTBALL TEAM IN ACTION
THURSDAY OCTOBER,
1906.
G EOT? Ci I AY,
THE ATLASTi
TECH AND SEWANEE TEAMS
DOING LAST HARD WORK
0
After Thursday’s Strenuous Session Both
Teams Will Rest Up Friday to Get in
Shape for Big Game Saturday.
The laat hard practice before the big
Bewanee-Tech game will be run off
Thursday by both teams. Friday the
Tech team will do only light work,
and on that day the Sewanee team will
embark on their long, round-about
trip across Tennessee and through
Georgia to Atlanta.
The hopes of the followers of Tech
and the mighty Helsman are rising ns
the time for the game drawn near,
and It Is their belief that the Yellow
Jackets have an even chance of win
ning. With Brown and Davies In the
game they feel that Tech Is regaining
strength rapidly, and that the Se
wanee Tiger will have to show fiercer
claws than It displayed In Atlanta lust
year to do any damage to the local
players.
With little Scarbrough out of the
game for Sewanee, and with Brown
playing for Tech, there is no doubt but
that Tech will have all the best of
the kicking game. And this year when
kicking means so much this will make
quite a difference. Undoubtedly every
exchange of pun-s will mean a gain for
Tech and there are bound to be a num
ber when two such evenly matched
teams clash.
The Tech practice this week has been
the best of the season. The men are
getting the signals, the formations and
i he new plays down line, and they will
undoubtedly show a hundred per cent
1 letter clas-s of football on Saturday
than they have at any time to dal*.
The plays are going off with a great
dash and snap and If Sewanee—al
ways a faat team—hopes to be able to
run the Techltes off their feet with a
mere display of speed, they will find
themselves greatly fooled.
Altogether the prospects for one ol
the greatest games of the Southern sea
son are good, and undoubtedly the in
creased seating capacity of the park
will be taxed to its utmost to accom
modate the large crowd which will
turn out for the game.
Good Football on Saturday;
Better Football Next Week
The football season really warms up next
Saturday.
Odd about football; the colder the wenth*
ar gets, the wsnnor the football Is. (frit
anyway some, good games may t»e looked
for.
The Ttch-Sewanee game In Atlanta should
be a hummer, and the Georgia-Clemaon
game !• not going to be any slouch of nn
affair. Up In Nashville, Vanderbilt tnkea
on Alabama for the yearly battle between
the pair. Presumably, the Tennessee col
lege teem will hare easy sailing, but at
that It would not be surprising If Ala
bama gave the Commodores a letter rub
than Mississippi, comparative dope to the
contrary notwithstanding.
If present form counts for anything. Vkn-
j derbllt hni everybody’s goat In the Mouth.
Maybe Sewanee can bent her, and Tech
has an off chance, but It begins to look at
I though Vanderbilt was going to spoil the
fun by pigging everything In the cham
pionship line. However, things may not
■ turn out this way. Anyhow, though. It
looks pretty gloomy for poor old Alabama
Saturday.
Tennessee teems to have her nerve back
and will try to put It over Kentucky State
on Saturday. This ought to lie uo very dif
ficult matter, though Tennessee Is wfl-nk
. again this year. The Knoxville college la
i reaping the whirlwind which she sowed In
f the past year by playing Ineligible men, but
S an era of good teams ought to be In
' sight.
The big game over In Virginia this week
, la the University of Vlrgtnta-Vlrgtnta Mill-
j tary Institute game. Ilamdeu-Mlduey and
Richmond college also clash. Mississippi
| and the Louisiana State university are due
' to meet fn a game which ought to lie ii
I good one, but which Mississippi will prob
ably win, and University of Arkansas,
which Is beginning to cut some figure In
i Southern athletics, ploys Washington uni
versity. It Is doubtful If Arkansas conld
at present rank up to Southern Intercol
legiate Athletic Association eligibility re

ticed and the college seems to be a
The following Saturday, October 27,
should fee the wool flying In real earnest.
On that eventful day. Tech tackles Da
vidson for a game thnt should .prove n
busy encounter for Imth. Davidson bus
played North Carolina to a scoreless tie,
and defeated Georgia 15 to 0, thus far this
season, and certainly looks formidable.
The University of Georgia likewise baa
her work cut out for her thnt day, for
she tackles the North Carolina Agricultural
and Mechnnlcal college—a strong .team.
Tennessee travels over to Memphis that dny
for a try against the University of Miss
Isslppl, and Texan Journeys to Nashville
for n bout with the doughty Commodore*—
a bout which la likely to end In a Texas
knock-out, though the Lone Star people
often have pretty fancy teams.
A game which will attract much local
Interest October 27 will l»e the Auhurn-Me-
wanee game at Illrmlngham. Many local
men are going over to see the contest, and
It should prove a hummer, provided both
Mewanee and Auburn are os strong as they
appear to be at this stage of the proceed
ings.
A game which will appeal to local fol
lowers of the football Is the Maryville-
Dalilonegn game, which Is slated for Satur
day after next. The former team tied
with Tech, and the latter was beateu by 11
points to 0. Roth appear to be of about
equal streogth. and Maryville's superior
showing against the Yellow Jackets was
probably due to the fact thnt the Tennes
seeans hit Coach tlelsinnn's team nefore It
had rounded Into any kind of shape, while
the Dablonegm bunch went up against n
much stronger aggregation. Another great
game of October 27 will be the Virginia-
Georgetown game at Washington, D. V.
Two days before, October 25, Cletusou and
the North Carolina Agricultural and Me
chanical college will meet at Columbia as
a feature of the state fair.
It Is hard to dope It out thnt the next
two Katurrinyn are to he anything but
strenuous affairs for Southern football
teams, and when they are over, students
of football dope will kn«w pretty much
what to expect of nil Southern teams—
though It may in* mentioned In closing
that all teams do not live up to expecta
tions.

University of Georgia, Athena, Ga., Oct.
j It/—The Georgia team Is working overtime

I od up In last Saturday's game.
Clemaon, the team which Georgia tackles
• In Clemson Saturday, la a hard proposition
l to line-up against, and Georgia la soma-
I what handlcaped In meeting such a team
! to ear!/ In the season. Still, Georgia Is
[ showing up strong and Is expected to do
well against the Tigers.
One of tho find* or the season for Georgia
has been Thurman, who played left etui in
Saturday's game. Thurman played a star
game on Gordon Institute team last year,
i and It waa expected that he would show up
\ well In college ranks this year, hut every
, one waa greatly surprised at the terrific
game he played against Davidson.
In Tom Fleming, Georgia has n very
strong full back. Fleming bad played

Much credit Is due the scrub tesnt for Its
har<^ consistent work. A strong scrub
team usually means a atrong .'varsity, nnd

Alex McDoncll, of Savannah, Is captain
of the scrub team, and much credit Is due

BLOODY BATTLE BETWEEN M'GOVERN AND YOUNG CORBETT
ENDS WITH FIGHTING HONORS ABOUT EVEN

New York, Oct, 18.—"You're still there."
said Young Corbett last night ns he put lifs
arm around Terry McGovern's neck at the
finish of their battle at the National Ath
letic Club.
"We're pals now," said Terry In return.
"You did not curse me tonight; you fought
like n gentleman. It’s all over between
us."
Both the Jlttln gladiators were covered
with blood. They were both tired, both
bruised and both glad thnt the gong had
sounded.
It was ns tough a battle as the hardened
rtng-poera nt the ringside had ever wit
nessed. For six long rounds these two cx-
chnmplons fought like tigers every Inch of
the way. First one would get a lead, then
the other, then both would reel, and after
a howl that seemed to sbnke tho building
nil would be quiet again for a few sec-
onds.
It was ns dose a battle ns ever was
waged and tho best man was uot discov
ered.
Terry McGovern looks to be n man that
time has failed to Imthor. Young Corbett
seems to have founded Into form again
nnd still packs ii round hls famous punch
that made him the marvel of the fighting
world.
Unfortunately there was much uninten
tional butting In. and Corbett wan so bndly
handicapped thnt It was a wonder he could
fight.
In the seooud a butt gut him on the
other side of the forehead a ml lie wna cov
ered with blood from thnt time until the
finish of the fight. McGovern himself got
n bad cut In the head, but was hot nearly
slaughtered the way hls opponent was In
the mstter of buttlug.
If Battling Nelson bad done surh a thiug %
there w’otild have been a roar that would*
have reached the north pole. but os It Is
they were "accidental." However, Cor
bett was fearfully handicapped.
On entering the ring McGovern l>owt>d to
the cheering mob nnd walked over to Cor-
belt's corner to shuke hands.
"Now, be a gentleman tonight, Corbett,"
said Terry. "If you are the best man. lick
me on the square; I .don't care wlmt you
sny, but don't curse; lick me by fighting,
not saying things about my family."
"All right, Terry," said Corbett, smiling;
"the rlgbt^mnu will win. Shake ngniii."
They did so. and Terry took hls corner,
lie was extremely nervous, rubbing bin
feet In the rosin and fixing hls tights.
Jack McGuIgnn. the referee, announced
that t'offroth had offered the wlnuer $20,000
to meet Britt. Terry could hardly whit for
the bell—he wan so anxious, t’orhett had
hls back turned to Terry, talking to hls
seconds. The bell sounded mid they went
nt It.
McGovern'a target seemed to be Corbett's

feinting Terry Into knots. Terry was

"SILK” O’LOUGHLIN A WONDER
There Is no more picturesque figure on
the ball field than Frank O'Loujhllo, the
American League umpire, who was selected
by President Ban Johnson to represent
the league In the world's pennant games
played In Chicago.
Hls mannerisms and peculiarities of
speech nre well kuawn all over the Amer
ican League circuit, and while those cranks
who have liecouie accustomed to Ills metU
oils are not nt all surprised, still the fan
who sees and hears him for the first time
la apt to be astonished.
O'Lougblln, who Is known by the sobri
quet of "Silk," has a clear, high-pitched
voice that he Is not afraid to use. and he

the first strike Is called on the man who

ns a strike is pltchftl Silk will throw back
hta bead, open Ills mouth like an operatic
singer, nnd shriek "S-t-r-l-k-e!" at the top
of hfa lungs.
This Is really startling to the person
who hns never been present when "Silk"
wns officiating; but the astonishment Is al
ways succeeded by a burst of laughter, to
which the umpire pnys not the slightest nt-
tcutlou.
Ills most singular expression Is thnt
when two halts or two strikes nre called
on the batter.
The average umpire when calling two
strikes on n batter will say "s-t-r-e-e:k
two," nud If It Is two balls he howls
"tubbaw." and lets It go at that.
But O'Loughlln hns a style that no
other umpire has ever had or succeeded In
copying.
He shouts "Strike T-tMII" with a sharp
accent on. the "tub," and then the crowd
laughs, but Silk Is unmoved^

Corbett spoke to Terry nt the opening of

It la quite possible that Billy Smith
may lose Becker, the outfielder. Garry
Herrmann practically promised to sell
him.
Here is Herrmann’s letter, which
reached Smith Thursday;
"Ju»t returned from Chicago and

can not tell at the present time Just
what we Intend to do with Outfielder
Becker; in fact, can not determine
anything definite about the matter un

Billy Smith waa much elated on
looking up the batting record of Paak-
ert, the new man he copped from
Dayton In the recent drafting melee.
This speedy outfielder played in 147
games, which seems to Indicate that
he la the busy little thing. In those
147 games he came to bat 537 times
and made 155 hits. This gives him a
percent of .288. which is pretty fair
batting, and'will be entirely satisfac
tory If he will keep that clip In the
Southern. As a run-maker Paskert Is
right there with the best of them. He
scored 78 last year, which Is scoring

JENNINGS, KING OF SHORT STOPS
MOBILE MAY
BE DROPPED
Special to The Georgian.
Jacksou. Miss., Oct. Hi.—It la sahl that
there In n scheme on foot on the part
of Meridian, Jackson ami Vicksburg to drop
Mobile ns a member of the (.'often States
f/oague when the club moguls meet In Dc-
cember In their annual session. It is clnlui-
ed thut Mobile violated the salary limit,
and It la projmsed to drop her In order to
punish her and to hold her up to other
towns ns a horrible example.
There are a number of other town a which
nre clamoring for a franchise In tbe league.
Baltimore, Oet. IS.—'The announcement
that Hugh Jennings will manage the De
troit American League club next year
enutea baseball men here to recall hls early
days on the diamond.
Koine thirteen years ago a red-hemled,
freckle-faced boy came to Baltimore as a
sort of api»emlage to Harry L. Taylor, now
president of the Eastern Baseball League.
There had been a trade In baseball circles
destined to become fatuous, but none would
hare been bold enough to forecast that the
fame would arise from the "appendage,"
and that the freckle faced boy would be
come the king of the shortstops of the
country.
Whatever Hugh Jennings became, he
owes to Edward Hanlon. Hanlon taught
him how to lutt, nnd Ilnnion saw at once
that bit real position wna at short, and
thnt there be could develop creditably.
Manager Hanlon's greatest performance
waa the teaching of Jennlugs to hit safely.
His fault wns pulling nway from the plate,
nnd It was the first thing Manager llnulon
set himself to correct. The difference it
made enu l*» deduced from the fact that In
IKH. lu W games, Jennings batted .192.
During 1894. lu 12$ games, Jennings plied up
nil average «»f .332. lu 1886 Jennings played
lu 133 games and had a percentage of .266.
In 1898 Jennings wns second only to the
grent hatting artist, Jesse Burkett, 12
points behind, with an average of .397,
playing In 129 games.
Getting Hit By Ball.
But the story of hls batting career would
not be complete without mentioning bis
hntdt of getting hit by the ball—a trick for
which he was far more famous than for
hitting the ball. From pulling away from
the plate he began at once to be an adept
In the art of stepping Into the ball.
In those days the msn who waa hit by a
pitched ball went to flrat necessarily, for
It was not dreamed that a player would
voluntarily allow a pitcher to hit him If he
could escape the punishment the blow was
bound to Inflict. It can be said with as
surance that Jenulugs Is solely responsible
for a fashion that gradually spread until the
present rule thnt compels the avoidance
of n pitched (mil had to lie adopted.
The detailed descriptions of Baltimore
games of ten years ago would show that a
game never passed that Jennings was not
ixissed to first by the hlt-by-pltcber route.
Of course the (kiss was demanded at the
most critical times of the game, when a
run was necessary. A right-handed batter,
"Hogbey" wore heavy pads on bis left hip.
but for nil that his body was completely
" ‘red with big blue and black bruise*
from the early weeks until the completion
of every season.
He wns never n long hitter—none of the
old champion Orioles were. The specialty
of all of them was bmits and "chops" nnd
short, half-arm "pushes” over the Infield-
ers' heads (or singles. In all of these kind
of hits Jennings excelled.
Hughey's Star Performance.
The star performance of hls career was
In 1895, during a ,14-lnnIug game with Bos
ton, In which Jennings accepted all of hls
21 chance* without the semblance of an
error., making sensational play after seusa-
11 Ana I play, and, to cap the climax, he
hatted In-the winning run for Baltimore in
the fourteenth luiitug.
He retains his quickness of brain, how
ever, and has bis greatest value as a d!
rector of affairs, for be knows the game
ns few players know it. As a manager he
has had Just enough success to be tnutnlls-
lug. In 1903, with a bad start aud little or
no material to work with, he succeeded In
bringing the team to the bottom of the first
division, the next year he Jumped It up to n
good second, and last year Baltimore lost
the pennant by only half a game, equiva
lent to two points. The story of this sea
son Is yet untold In full.
Jennings was turn In Mooslc, Pa., about
33 years ago. Ills parents were lu humble
circumstances, and when he first came
here he was uncouth nnd with but little
education. With McGraw he attended Bon-
arenture College during the winter months
of hls connection with the Baltimore team,
finishing up with n trip abroad.
When be wns switched to Brooklyn he en
tered Cornell University law school, coach
ing the ba«el»nll team tin-re ns well ns
studying hls chosen profession. He grad-
us ted In 1903, and that whiter was spent
pursuing the practical side of the law In

reeled, but came hack with a light that put
Terry back nlmut six feet. Corbett wna a
sight, tlie 1>lood running down bis chest.
In the fifth' they both come up with faces
washed. Terry backed nway nnd then
shook Corbett with a left on tho Jaw. He
hit the kid so bnrd that the cut on hls
head opened again and the blood ran down
hls face. Terry shot a right over, sending
Corbett against the ropes. Both were very
tired. Corbett Jabbed Terry on the mouth.
He was try lug to get nn opening for the
right. Terry backed him up with lefts
nml rights to the body. Corbett shook Terry
up with a right on the ear as the bell
clanged.
:Corbett shot hls left flush on Terry's Jaw
nt the opening of the sixth. Terry rnsbed
wildly, sending a hard right on the Jaw
that made Corbett sag at the knees. Cor
bett sent hls .hay maker.over on Terry's
Jnw and then Terry sank a bit. They
were Imth n bit bad. Terry had the speed
nnd wns dauctng around Corbett, who seem
ed to tire. Both Inrnled rights to the body
nml fought hard in the clinch. Corbett was
very particular about bJs body. He guarded
It well. He uppercut Terry with n left.
Terry slammed over a left on the Jaw and
followed with a right on the other side.
He sent another, staggering Corbett. Both
were wild, swinging right up In the air.
Terry landed another terrible right oh the
Jnw ns they got In Corbett's corner. Cor
bett went up against the ropes and raised
n left on the Jnw ns the gong sounded.
It was such an even thing that a draw
decision would be fair to both.
