TECH-SEWANEE BATTLE
SHOULD BE A WARM ONE
Tech Team Does a Little Final Work Friday
Afternoon—Sewanee Team on Way
to Atlanta.
After Friday afternoon'* llcht prac
tice the Tech team will rest on Its
arms In preparation for the first real
championship battle of the year,
which takes place at Tech park tomor
row afternoon between the Smithies
and the Purple Tigers from Sewanee.
The Sewanee team I* already on Its
way to Atlanta, and will arlve here
early Saturday morning.
No ganfes In Atlanta this season, out
side possibly of the Georgia and Van
derbilt games, will attract as much at
tention as this contest. Undoubtedly
.more people will see the game than
all the rest of the season thus far pul
together.
A rather good Indication of the In
terest the battle Is attracting Is the
decidedly lively betting which Is going
on. The odds range from even money
to 4 to 6. and when any odds are given
the Sewanee backers have to put up
the long end.
The under current of feeling seems
to be that Sewanee has a shade the
better chance, but owing to the Un
certainty of the game under the new
rules, and because of the confidence
of all Tech men In Coach Helsraan.
the Sewanee barkers do not have to go
far In the way of giving odds before
their money Is snapped up.
The probable line up of the two
teams In the game Saturday afternoon
follows:
Tech. Position. Sewanee.
Monroe center. Watkins, (capt.)
Henderson ..right guard .....Lumpkin
Safest left guard Evans
Rucker McCarty light tackle....Harris
Luck left tackle Stone
Hill right end Lewis
Brown left end .. . .Williams

“Doc” Payne Tells Players
To Loaf During Winter
By JAME8 E. (DOC.) PAYNE. ■
(Local baseball fans who got out to ss* the early doings of the bats-
ball teams in Atlanta last spring and ths on* bsforo, will remember
“Doc” Payne, th* big, good naturod. ex-pugilist who acted as trainor,
rubber and gsnsral jollier for th* Cleveland him. Below will b* found a
bunch of hot air from him, about what ball playors should do in winter
in order to b* in th* best condition for spring practice. It appeared
first In th* Cleveland Nows.) *
Having learned something of the
human anatomy In fifteen years of the
constant tratntng of the various types
of athletes, prlxeflghters, wrestlers and
ball players, I am tempted to raise my
voice In protest when I hear of such-
and-such a ball player “keeping In
training" through the winter by
bowling, and other forms of special
Ised activity, with the Intention of
"keeping In) shape” certain muscles
whlctf he Is In the habit of using and
depending on during hts active- sea
son on the diamond.
The ball player who does this Is
doing himself more harm than good.
A ball player In the winter time should,
generally speaking, just loaf, lie
should do only enough exercising to
keep himself In health, and above all
things, ho should not keep any one
set of muscles on edge through the off
season.
Xbose muscles should be given a
rest. He should take only exercise of a
general nature, and let himself grow
fat If he keeps In training all win
ter he Is certain to bo stale In the
spring whsn he should be ready to
begin, not to leave off, training.
He should return gradually to hard
work of^the diamond, not stick at It
all winter. He should take It very
easy at first, and be careful not to
overexert himself at the start, as
hosts of them do through misguided
seal and anxiety to get Into shape ns
soon as possible. The uninstructed
ball player Will work himself Into a
Charley horse at practice the first days
at some kind of muscular training that
please* his fancy. Instead of loosening
up all the muscles of his body by grad
ually Increasing general exercise.
A ball player, as a matter of fact,
should not be trained down to a fine
point, like a prise fighter, a wrestler or
a sprinter at any time. He should
exercise hard and breathe deeply out
of doors; but he need not strive to
become “long-winded.’ He always has
ample time for recuperation between
his short spurts of activity.
Because a ball player appears to be
fat naturally, he need not worry over
It. Because he Is stout Is by no means
an Indication that he Is out of condi
tion. Take Socks Seybold, for In
stance, or Cy Young. They are alw
In perfect trim, yet they look to
anything but athletes because of their
bulk.
Very often a ball player's physical
condition Is held responsible for a
streak of poor playing, when (t Is really
a trouble In a far different quarter.
Sometimes hla feelings nre hurt by
harsh crltjclsm, I make It a part of
my business as masseur and trulher
of the team to be always In a good hu
mor with (he players, and to encour
age them with a little jolly now and
then.
I have found that all athletes need
ft,' so 1 say, while perhaps rubbing a
player who Is falling off In his hitting:
"Well, old boy, I’m rubbing In a three-
base hit now.” It pleases him, en-
courages him, and shows that some
body has confidence In him, and ho
goes out forthwith possessed of a new
courage.
During the tlmo t was training Kid
McCoy and taking care of him In the
his fights, he would Invariably
i for advice between rounds. He
simply yearned to be directed, encour
aged. and Jollied along. It Is so with
all of them. An ounce of encourage
ment Is worth a pound of abuse.
Here arc the three cardinal princi
ples which I should set down for the
ball player who would know how best
to spend his winter* so a* to be In
the best shape for the work of the
coming spring:
First—Tnke enough exercise of
general nature to cause you to eat
ami sleep well, and In general, retain
good sound health, without, however,
being "In training."
Second—Do not diet nor refrain from
the use of any healthful food which
agrees with you and which you en
joy.
Third—Loaf enough to get a little fat
on your muscles, which will provide
something to work off In the spring
training.

Jack Foy Posts His Side Bet,
But No Staten Money Shows
Some time ago Jack Foy, the At
lanta pugilist, challenged Harry Sta
ten, the Fighting Grocer, also of At
lanta, for a bout.
On Wednesday Joe Elllotte, manager
of Staten, came to The Georgian office,
accepted the challenge on behalf of
his man, stated that any conditions
Were agreeable, and that he would
Cover any side-bet from S100 to 1500
Which would be posted by Foy, He
closed bis remarks with the statement,
“It Is up to Foy. Money talks." •
Thursday morning Manager Ventura,
who looks arter Foy a Interests, posted
1200 with the sporting editor of The
Georgian as the Foy aide-bet. Mr.
Elllotte, who was present at the time,
stated that he would cover the bet with
cash or a certified check at 2 p. in.
But at 2 o'clock Mr. Elllotte did not
show up
He stated to Foy, however, that If
'he could not be there at that time he
would be at a certain centrally located
cigar store at S o'clock Thursday
night. Staten kept that appointment,
hut Elllotte and the certified check did
not show up.
It Is now up to Elllotte. In the
words of 8. Ventura. "He said 'Money
talks.' Well, we're listening.”
The meeting between Foy anil Sta
ten Thursday night was not entirely
satisfactory, as the two men could
not agree to terms. Foy wants to hit
In the clinches and the breakaway.

Btaten wants no hitting In th* clinches

Foy says that he will stick out for
these conditions whatever huppens.
•*l don’t care especially. I want to
flghth him and would accept any con
ditions, but Ventura la strong tor those
conditions and I am In hts care. ’
Manager Ventura said, "We want
to give the public a light, not a hug
ging match. That is what the people
want.”
Just at present both men are hang
ing back and waiting for some club
to come forward with an offer of a
purse. When they do, no doubt El
llotte will post that certified check
he spoke of, and that Staten will agree
to Foy’s demands for a "light ull the
way.**
In the meantime Foy wants It un
derstood that he can make the welter
weight class with all ease, and that
he will take on any writer-weight In
the country, If the conditions are
right. The reason that Foy has done
most of hts fighting In the middle
weight class was because he could not
get any of the welters to tackle him.

noon, and the "Home Plate," as It may be called, will be the mecca of all
lovers of baseball, candy, soda water and the like.
Otto and Dick have made a world of personal friends In Atlanta,
and a thousand times as many baseball friends, and the whole bunch will
turn out tomorrow to show their appreciation for the boll playing that
the two stars have done by visiting the new place of business.
The new store is located on Peachtree street In the new building Just

“We are going to give the pubUc the best soda. Ice cream and
candy that money can buy,” said Dick Crosier, In speaking of the place,
“Ar.d we are going to try our best to please the public.”
That they will succeed, goes without saying.
