EDITED BY - PERCY H. WHITING 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 quirements, hut Improvements sre being no 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. 8NAP8HOT OF THE 8EWANEE TEAM TAKEN DURING THE GAME WITH THE MOONEY SCHOOL TEAM WHICH WA8 PLAYED AT SEWANEE A SHORT TIME AGO.

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.

Much credit Is due the scrub tesnt for Its har<^ consistent work. A strong scrub team usually means a atrong .'varsity, nnd also a atrong team for the comlug year. Alex McDoncll, of Savannah, Is captain of the scrub team, and much credit Is due him for hls hard work.

Hermann in Doubt About Giving Becker to Atlanta BLOODY BATTLE BETWEEN M'GOVERN AND YOUNG CORBETT ENDS WITH FIGHTING HONORS ABOUT EVEN By TAD. 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 bod|\ Corbett smiled us he danced around, feinting Terry Into knots. Terry was afraid of thnt right nnd backed nway, blocking nnd stepping back. Terry dosed In nnd drove « rlgbi to Corbett’s Insly. "Thnt’s the place, Terry," yelled hls sec onds, "do whnt you said you would." Terry rushed Cortiett to the ropes and welled him oil the liody again with left and right. Corbett feinted Terry Into n corner and shot a right to the ribs. They clinched and Terry banged Corbett on the back of "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 iisunlly leta loose hls vocal dynamite when the first strike Is called on the man who opens the game. Silk will call the balla In an ordinary tone of voice, but na soon 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^ Hut while O’Loughlln |* peculiar as to hls utterances nnd gestures, hls umpiring Is eleivn rut, Intelligent nnd conscientious. O'Loughlln Is n Buffalo man, nml Is quite prominent lu the political affairs of hls city. Now he Is a candidate for senator. He haa a dashing personality. Is bright- eyed, clear-skinned uud ruddy-cheeked, and Is In every way a credit to the national game.—New Yortt Globe. tho head with' hls right five or six times. Corbett uppercut after the break. There wns a fierce exchange nnd Corbett missed Terry about an Inch with a terrific upper cut. The bell. In the next round Corbett landed a right on the Jaw. Terry's head, went back; he loosened hls hold and went over on hls back. The crowd thought he was out and Jumped up, howling with Joy. Terry got tip on hls knees Immediately and waited for the count of 9. lie nrose nnd rushed at Corbett. Their heads met nnd Corbett got u fenrfql cut In the head, blood running down hls face. Terry wns in n bad way, bat fought hard. Both missed swings nud fell all over themselves with anxiety. The bell sounded and Corbett went to Ills cor ner looking like an Indian from the blood. Corbett spoke to Terry nt the opening of the third about the buttlug. He said some thing to Corbett nnd rushed in. Corbett met him with a right, staggering bliu, but Terry bumped the rope and got hls bal ance again. Terry lauded hls right on the hotly again nnd Corbett swung tho hammer to the head. Corbett rut Terry'a left eye with a right. Both were fujl-of blood now, and laughed at one nuother us tbey ell ucli- ed. Corbett sent Terry to the ropes again with s left on tho Jaw. He followed with a right, but went over Terry's head. The bell clanged as Urey were mixing It lu Terry's corner. Both were bleeding ngaln. Both rushed at the opeHing of the fourth, and Corbett wna again cut on the head. The two deep cuts were pouring blood and "he bad to step back to wl|»e tho gore from his eyes. Terry humped htui again and 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 found your letter of October 7. I 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 til after the December meeting of the National League. "Respectfully, "A..G. HERRMANN." 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 some, all tight. Likewise, he made a large and lusty bunch of assists and Rchuman, the star player of the Portsmouth, Va., team, will he with Mike Finn In Little Rock next season. Connie Mack secured him for Philadel phia, but he has agreed to turn him over to Mike Finn.

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.

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 offices of the city. Liki winter be regu larly "huhg out hls ahlugle," assticistiug himself with a prouilneut law firm bunt. swung left nnff right to the Jaw. Corbatt 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. JOCKEY SHOT | BY ACCIDENT EDWARD MARTIN FATALLY IN. JURED IN FRIENDLY SCUF FLE WITH CHA8. WHITE. Now York.
