THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, THI'RSDAY OCTOBER, 18. 1906.
TECH AND SEWANEE TEAMS
DOING LAST HARD WORK
After * Thursday’s Strenuous Session • Both
Teams Will Rest Up Friday to Get in
Shape for Big Game Saturday.
The last hard practice before the big
8ewanee-Tech game will bo 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 llelsman are rising ns
the time for the game draws 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 tho Se
wanee Tiger will have to show fiercer
claws than It displayed In Atlanta last
year to do any damage to the local
players.
with little Sckrbrough 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 thts^year when
kicking means so much this will make
quite a difference. Undoubtedly every
ejphange of pun-s will mean a gain for
Tech and there arc bound to be a num
ber when two such evenlj matched
teams clash.
The Tech practice this week has been
the best of the season. The men are
getting the signals, the formations and
the new plays down fine, and they will
undoubtedly show a hundred per cent
better class of football on Saturday
than they have at any tlmo to dat
dash and snap and If Sewanee—al
ways a fast 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 tho park
will be taxed to Ita utmost to accom
modate the large crowd which will
turn out for the game.
Good Football on Saturday;
Better Football Next Week
asoo really warms ap next
The football
Saturday.
Odd about football; the colder the wenth
or gets, the warmer the football Is. hut
anyway some good games may be looked
for.
The Tech-Sewsnee game In Atlanta should
be a hummer, and the Georgla-Clemaon
game Is not going to be any slouch of an
affair. Up In Nashville, Vanderbilt takes
on Alabama for the yearly battle between
the pair. Presumably, the Tennesseo col
lege team will have easy sailing, but at
that It would not be surprising If Ala
bama gave the Commodores a better rub
than Mississippi, comparative dope to the
contrary notwithstanding.
If present form counts for anything, Van
derbilt has everybody's goat In the South.
Maybe Sewanee can beat her, and Tech
has an off chance, but It begins to look as
though Vanderbilt was going to apoll 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 seems to hare her nerve back
and will try to put It over Kentucky State
on Saturday. This ought to be no very dif
ficult matter, though Tennessee Is wfl*nk
again this year. The Knoxville college Is
reaping the whirlwind which she sowed In
the past year by playing Ineligible men, but
an eta of good teams ought to be In
night.
The big game over In Virginia this week
Is the University of Vlrglnla-Vlrglnla Mili
tary Institute game. Hamden Sidney and
Richmond college also clash. Mississippi
and the'Louisiana State university are due
to meet In a game which ought to be n
good one, but which Mississippi will prob
ably win, and University of Arkansas,
which Is beginning to rot some figure In
Southern athletics, plays Washington uni
versity. It Is doubtful if Arkansas could
at prssent rank np to Southern Intercol
legiate Athletic Association eligibility re
quirements, but Improvement^ are being uo-
tlced and tbs college seems to bo s
The following Saturday* October 27,
should ae# the wool flying In real earnest.
On that eventful day. Tech tackles Da
vidson for a game that should prove n
busy encounter for both. Dnvldson has
played North Carolina to a scoreless tie,
and defeated Georgia 15 to 0, thus far this
season, and certainly lobks formidable.
The University of Georgia likewise has
her work cut.out for her that day, for
•he tackles the North Carolina Agricultural
and Mechanical college—n atrong team.
Tennessee travels over to Memphis that day
for a try ngnlnst the University of Miss
issippi, and Texas Journeys to Nashville
for a bout with the doughty Commodores—
a bout which Is 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 Octotar 27 will be tho Auburn-Re-
wanes game at Birmingham. Many local
men are going over to see the contest, nnd
It should prove a hummer, provided both
Hewanee aud Auburn are as 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 Uaryvlllc-
Dahlonegn game, which la slated for Hatnr-
dny after next. The former team tied
with Tech, and the latter was beaten by 11
points to 0. Roth appear to be of about
equal strength, and Maryville's superior
showing against the Yellow Jackets was
probably due to the fact that the Tennes
seeans hit Coach Belsman's team nefore It
had rounded Into any kind of shape, while
the Dahlonega bunch went up against a
much stronger Aggregation. Another great
game of October 27 will be the Vlrglnla-
Oeorgetown game at Washington, D. C.
Two days before, October 25, Clemson and
the North Carolina Agricultural and Me
chanical college will meet ut Columbia as

said Young Cortatt Inat night os he put Ills
arm around Terry McGovern's neck at the
finish of their battle at the National Ath
letic Club.
Ye're pnla now," said Terry In return.
"You did not curse me tonight; you fought
like n gentleman. It's all over between
Both the little glndlators were covered
with Idood. They were tath tired, troth
bruised ntod both glad that the gong had
sounded.
It wns ns tough a battle ns the hardened
ring-goers nt the ringside had ever wlt-
noosed. For six long rounds these two ex-
chnmplons fought like tigers every Inch of
the way. First one would get a lend, then
the other, then both would reel, anil after
a howl that seemed to shake the building
•II would l»e quiet again for a few sec
onds.
It was ns close a battle as ever wns
a bad cat In the head, but was not nearly
slaughtered the way his oppoueut was In
the mutter of buttlug.
If Battling Nelsou had done such n thing
there would havb been a roar thut would
have reached the north pole, but ns It Is
they were "accidental." However, Cor
bett wns fearfully handicapped.
On entering the ring McGovern bowed to
the cheering mob and walked over to Cor
bett's corner to shake hands.
"Now, be a gentleman tonight. Corbett."
said Terry. "If you are the tast man, lick
mo on the square; 1 don't care whnt you
say, but don't curse; lick me by fighting,
not saying things about my family."
"All right, Terry," said Corbett, smiling;
"the right mail will win. Shake again."
They did so, nnd Terry took his corner.
He wns extremely nervous, nibbing his
feet In the rosin nnd fixing his tights.
Jack MrOnlgnn, the referee, announced
that Coffroth had offered the winner $20,000
to meet Britt. Terry could hardly wait for
the head with his right five or six times.
Corbett uppercut after the break. There
was a fierce exchange and Corbett missed
Terry about an Inch with a terrific upper-
cutl The bell.
In the next round Cortatt landed a right
on tho Jaw., Terry’s head went bock; he
loosened his hold and went over, on bis
heck. The crowd thought he was out and
Jumped up, howling wrlth Joy. Terry got
up on his knees immediately and waited
for the count of 9. He arose and rushed
at Corbett. Their beads met nnd Corbett
got a fearful cut In the head, blood running
down his face. 'Terry was In a had way,
but fought hard. Both missed swings nnd
fell all over themselvos with anxiety. The
bell sounded nnd Corbett went to his cor
ner looking like nn Indian from the blood.
Corbett spoke to Terry nt the opening of,
the third about the buttlug. He said some
thing to Corbett ami rushed In. Corbett

Hermann in Doubt About
Giving Becker to Atlanta
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:
"Just returned from Chicago and
found your letter of October ?. 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

Rational League.
"Respectfully,
"A. G. HERRMANN."
Billy Smith was much elated on
looking up the batting record of Pask-
ert, the new ipnn he copped from
Dayton In the recent drafting melee.
This speedy outfielder played In 147
games, which seems to indicate that
he is 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

tory If he will keep that clip In the
Southern. As a run-maker Paakert Is

Terry McGovern looks to be a man that
time has failed to bother. Young Corbett
seems to have rounded Into form ngnlti
nnd atlll packs around his famous punch
that made hint the marvel of tho fighting

Unfortunately there wns much uninten
tional hutting In, aud Corbett wns no badly
handicapped thnt It was a wonder he could
fight.
In the second a butt got him on the
other side of tho forehead nud he was cov
ered with blood from that time until tho
finish of the fight. McGovern himself got

seconds. The bell sounded and they went
nt It.
McGovern's target seemed to be Corbett’s
body. Corbett smiled ns he danced around,
feinting Terry Into knots. Terry wns
nfrald of thnt right nnd backed away,
blocking and stepping bnck. Terry dosed
In nnd drove a right to Corbett's body.
"That's the place, Terry," yelled his sec
onds, "do whnt you said you would."
Terry rushed Corbett to the ropes nud
welted him on the body again with left and
right. Corbett feinted Terry Into a corner
nnd shot a right to the ribs. They clinched
aud Terry banged Corbett ou the bnck of
swung left and right to the Jaw. Corbett
reeled, but cnine back with a right that put
Terry back ntaut six feet. Corbett was a
sight, the blood running down his chest.
In the fifth they both came up with faces
washed. Terry backed away nnd then
shook Corbett with a left on the Jaw. He
hit the khl so hard that, the cut on hla
head opened again and the blood ran down
bis face. Terry shot a right over, sending
Corbett against the ropes. Both were very
tired. Corbett Jabbed Terry on, the mouth.
He wns trying to get an opening for the
right. Terry backed him up with lefts
nnd rights to the Irody. Corbett shook Terry
up with a right on the ear as the bell
clanged.
Corbett shot his left flush on Terry's Jaw

"SILK” O’LOUGHLIN A WONDER
There Is no mora picturesque figure on
the ball field than Frank O’Lougblln, the
American League umpire, who was selected
by President Ban Johnson to represent
the league In. the world's pennant games
played In Chicago.
HI* mannerisms and peculiarities of
speech are well known all over the Amer
ican League circuit, and while those cranks
who have become accustomed to his meth
ods sre not at nil surprised, still the fan
who sees and hears him for the first tltu^
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, nnd he
usually lets loose his vocal dynamite when
the first strike la called on the matt who
openk the game. Silk will call .the balls
In an ordinary tone of vote*, but ns soon
ns a strike Is pitched Silk will throw back
his head, open his mouth like nn operatic
singer, nnd shriek "8-t-r-l-k-e!" at the top
of bis lungs.
This Is really startling to the person
who has never been present when "Silk"
waa officiating; but the astonlahtuent la al
ways succeeded by a burst of laughter, to
which the umpire pays not the slightest at
tention.
Hla most singular expression Is thnt
when two balls or two strikes are called
tho batter.

Corbett sent Terry to-the ropes again
with a left on the Jaw. He followed with
a right, but went over Terry’s head. The
bell clanged as they were mixing It in
Terry's corner. Both were bleeding again,
Both rushed at the opening of the fourth,

Baltimore, Oct. 18.—The announcement
that Hugh Jennings will manage the De
troit American League club next year
causes baseball men here to recall hla early
days on the diamond.
Home thirteen years ago a red headed,
freckle-faced boy came to Baltimore as a
sort of appendage to Harry L. Taylor, now
president of the Eastern Baseball League.
There bad been a trade In baseball circles
destined to become famous, but nous*would
have 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 tha
country.
Whatever Hugh Jennings became, he
owes to Edward Uanlou. Hanlon taught
him how to bat, and Hanlon saw at ouce
that his real position was at short, and
that there he could develop credltubly.
Manager Hanlon's greatest performance
was the teaching of Jennings to hit safely.
Ills fault was pulling away from the plate.
It was the first thing Manager Hanlon
set himself to correct. The difference It
made can ta deduced from the fact that In
1893. In 38 games, Jennings tatted 4192.
During 1894, In 128 games. Jennings piled up
an average of .332. In 1896 Jennings played
In 133 games and had u percentage of .38$.
In 189$ Jennings was second only to the
great batting artist, Jesse Burkett, 12
points behind, with an average of .397,
playing In 129 games.
Getting Hit By Ball.
But the etory of hla batting career would
not ta complete without mentioning his
habit 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 be began at once to be an adept
In the art of stepping Into the ball.
In those days the man who was hit by a
pitched tall went to first necessarily, tot
It waa not dreamed that a player would
voluntarily allow a pitcher to hit him If be
could escape the punishment the blow was
bound to Inflict. It can ta said with as
surance that Jeunlnga la solely responsible
for a fashion that gradually spread until the
present rale that compels the avoidance
of a pitched tall had to ta adopted.
The detailed descriptions of Baltimore
games of ten years ago would show that a
game never passed that Jesnlngs was uot
passed to first by the hlt-by-uftchcr route.
Of course the pass was demanded at the
most critical times of the game, when s
run was necessary. A right-handed bntter,

bat for all that bis body was completely

from the early weeks until the completion
of every season.
IM was neyer a long hitter—noue of the
old champion Orioles were. The specialty
of all of them was bunts and "chops" and'
short, half-arm "pushes" over the Infield-
ers' heads for singles. In all of these k|pd
of hits Jennings excelled.
Hughsy’s Star Psrformsncs.
The star performance of his career was
In INS, daring a 14-lnulng game with Bos
ton, In which Jenulngs accepted nil of bin
21 chances without the semblance of nn
error, making sensational play after sensa
tional piny, nnd, to cap the climax, he
tatted In the winning run for Baltimore In
the fourteenth inniqg.
He retains his qfilbkness of brain, how
ever, nnd has bis greatest value as a di
covered with big blue aud black
rector of affairs, for he knows' the game
as few players know It. As a manager he
has had Just enough success to ta tnutnlls-
lug. In 1903, with a bad start and little or
uo material to work with, he succeeded In
bringing the team io the bottom of the first
dlvlslou, the next year be Jumped It up to^
good second, and last year Baltimore lost
the pennant by only hnlf s game, equiva
lent to two points. The story of this sea
son Is yet untold In full.
Jenulngs was tarn In Jlooslc, Pa., shout
33 years ago. Ills parents were In bumble
circumstances, aud when he first came
here lie wan uncouth nnd with but little
education. With McGraw he attended Bon-
•venture ('allege during the winter months
of his connection with the Baltimore team,
finishing up with a trip abroad.
When he wns switched to Brooklyn be en
tered Cornell University Inw school, coach

and In n dose game one dny Rllk handed
a vital decision at tbe plate against John-

rubber tind planted n well-directed kick on
O’Loughilu's Jnw. There was n tattle there

when be. recalls tbe Incident. Yet It la a
peculiar coincidence that brings tbe two
together as the arbiters In the world's
