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 a feature of the state fair.

New York, Oct. IB.—“You’re still there." 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.

In Tom Fleming, Georgia has a very strong full back. Fleming had played class football at.Emory, but this la his first season In college ranks. Ho Is fast runner and a consistent ground gainer. Much credit la due the scrub team for Its hard, consistent work. A strong scrub team usually means a strong ’varsity, and also a strong team for the coming year. Alex McDonell, of Havannah, Is captain of the scrub team, and much credit Is due him for hit hard work. The student body Is right behind the team aud Is out every afternoon watchlug the practice and rioting for the team. 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 til afttr the December meeting of the 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 * batting, and will be entirely satisfac tory If he will keep that clip In the Southern. As a run-maker Paakert Is right there with the bent of them. He ■cored 76 last year, which is scoring wane, all right.

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 his bnck turned to Terry, i<> «.■ 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 nt the opening of the sixth.

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. cd. 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, and Corbett wns again cut on the head. The two deep enta were pouring blood nnd he had to step back to wipe the. gore from hla eyes. Terry bumped him again and MOBILE MAY BE DROPPED Mias., Oct. 18.—It la sAld that there Is- a scheme on loot on the |*»rt of Mtridlnn.

But O'Lougblln has a style that no other urnpfre has ever had or succeeded in copying. He shouts "Strike T-U-H!".wlth • sharp accent on the "tub," nnd then the crowd laughs, but Rllk la unmoved.

There are a number of other towns which are clamoring for a franchise In the league, 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, "Hughey" wore heavy pads ou his feft hip. bat for all that bis body was completely “ " “ ‘ bruises 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 ing the baseball team there as well as studying lit* chosen profession. He grad uated In 1903. nnd that winter was spent pursuing the practical side of the Inw in offices of the city. • Last winter he regu larly "hung out his shingle," associating biuiself with a prvmtueut taw firm here. ed to tire, noth landed rights to the body and fought hard In the clluch.
