■■1HHB I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, Tl’HSDAY OCTOBER, 23, 1906. UP-TO-DATE NEWS OF SPORTING WORLD DOPE OF A DULL DAY EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING Season Required to Show Fine Points of New Footbal The hew rules la rollege football are aa Interesting study, ltecanse upon their aue- cats may depend. In large measure, the fn ture popularity of the game. If the col. leges can he made to hcl/ere this, and If the near rules themselres prore practicable. It la a question of time only when we shall wee them In full operation. Out no far as the experience of them nl< ready acquired Is a criterion, It seems llko- ly that the present season will hardly af ford opportunity enough to giro them n fair trials The old theory of the game has become fixed, and a conservative atti tude In football Is not a modified move more than a conservative attitude on any other subject An open system of play In comparison with the old system maintains points of radical divergence; the mental point of view of the players, aa well as the physical build and attitudes of many of them, must undergo changes. Time Is need ed for this, even assuming that there Is a cordial desire on the players' part to bring the changes about, and aa to that. It Is, perhaps, natural to look for some diver gence of sentiment. The heavyweight men, who have hither to been the reliance of the team, finding themselves now In a subordinate position, might feel Inclined to favor the old meth ods of play, which gave them their dis tinction, whefdas the lighter men, who now see chances of glory heretofore dosed to them, will be ardent for the Innovations. Of course, a mile la a mile and special In terests must perforce conform to It, but It happen* that more thau one of these new rules may, at the will of the players, be simply let nlone. though others must always be followed. The 10-yard rule, for exam pie, ran not be disregarded, but the*forward pass may be, and. as a matter of fact, after observing the practice of the Yale and Harvard football squads, I have no- tired that, while they have shown a dfxcosl* tlon to experiment pretty faithfully In the new direction, yet when they find them selves lined up against an opposing team In any degree formidable to play a serious game, they are apt to revert In great meas ure to old-fashioned football. The new rules In unaccustomed bands ap pear rather hasardous, and a team, anx ious above all things to win will prefer safety on tried lines to risks on new ones. A fumble In a hotly contested game may have serious consequences, and some of theso uew passes are proven In the present stage of proficiency to generate fumbles. Upon the whole, therefore, I think tbat another season may pats before we sea the new football not only heartily adopted, but played with anch a degree of mastery as snail be satisfactory alike to pla, and to spectators.—Julian Hawthorne, The New York American. Georgia Team Is Very Busy Preparing For Next Game BpecW unlvi al to The Georgian. university of Georgia. Athens, Oa.. Oct. _1—The Georgia football team Is pulling In a hard week's practice to prepare for North Carolina A ond M„ which team they tackle here next ttaturriay.

O O O 00OO0OO000OOOOO000O0000OOQ "I look to see Detroit make a line showing In baseball next aeason," said the well-known former crack player and manager, John C. Chapman, who waa recently In this clly. "He la a great boy. Detroit did well to aelect him, and In Detroit Jennings la In a fine ball town. 1 know that* many will not agree with ine In this estimate, but I feel very sure of my ground. Jen nings la a very ambitious young man. He Is the son of a miner of Mooslc. Pa., six miles from Scranton. I hap pened to be In Philadelphia one day, and while reading one ot the Phllailel, phla papers my eye sthic(t the name of a young catcher nnmed Jennings, who was catching at .that time for the Lehtghton club. The score had It that he had some 15 pdt-outa and nigd, four hits, and I read In the summary of the score, 'home run—Jennings' I remarked to Charley Mason, one of the owners of the Athletic club—I for got to mention I was managing the Louisville club at the time—that this young Jennings looked pretty good to me. 'He Is a good man. Jack.' aaid Charley. Ho I wired Jennings an offer of 31*5 per month to Join the club and directed hint to wire his answer to Boston, as that waa our next stopping place. A Gratn YoiThgstar. "When f reached Boston I found out that my offer was accepted, so I wired Jennings to meet us at Louisville, as we would Jump directly from Boston to Louisville. Well, when w, reached Louisville there waa Jennings. My, but he was a green youngster, but I liked his looks and felt confident he would achieve success. I Intended to.try him behind the bat, aa 'Jack' Ryan had been hurt and I would have put the youngster In to take his place, but •Jack' came Around all right. How. ever, one day our flrst baseman, Harry Taylor, now the president of the East ern League, got hurt, and I said to Jennings: 'Young man, you will have to go fn and play first base for us to- day.' 'Dgar me, mister,' he said, 'I can't play llrat base. I never played first base In all my life.’ 'Well, you just go In and do the beat you can. We have no one else to try In your place.' •All rlgt>|' waa hla reply. Til go In and do the beat I can,' and he made n decided euccess. How he did gather them In and dig them out ot the dirt, and It was not the laat time he played the bag either. "Well, aome time afierwarda our ahortatop. Cahill, was unable to play, and again I waa obliged to have re course to Jennings. 'Jennings,' said I to him. 'you will have to try your hand at shortstop today. Cahill is hurt, and there is no one else to try In the place.' But. miller,' said he, T never played that poaltlon In my life.'; 'Never mind t|iat,' I retorted, .'go In and do the best you can.' 'All right, nflS.ter,' waa hie answer. Well, h# went In nnd he put up tygreat game. He went after every thing. He covered ground In-grand shapo and he had the spectators' agape by hlk work. He wasn't ufratd of er tors and he made a great hit. An Incrtased Salary, "At the end of the' season,' l said, 'Jennings, 1 wun't tl> sign you .to play for me next season. What salary do you think you ought to have?* ; T don't know,' said he. TTi leave that do you.' 'How would 31 t i00 strike you?' J said. "That will be very nice,' was ills reply. Ho 1 sat down and mado out a contract for 31,750. 'Now, Jennings,' J said to him, 'Juki glance over that contract and see If It'rea'dS nil .right.' Ho. he took the contract In his hands and began to scan It and when he came to the tig. ures ho said, 'why, Mr. Chapman, this calls tor.3l.T60.' 'I know It, young man. that la what I Intend you to. have.’ 'Mr. Chapman.’ said he,' TTI try very hgrd to work for you for this.’ And he did. Admitted to the Btr. "You probably know, the remainder of hi) cureer; how he was chosen to. go to the Baltimore club and how-he figured so extensively In the three championships that were won by.thaj club; how he WRa asked to coach the Cornell team, and what a-success he made In that capacity and thereby se ruled the opportunity to educate h'm self and went through the Cornell luw school with credit to hlmselt and wus afterward admitted to the Bnlilnmr, bar, and last year hung out his shingle In thut city. Whan he was ttrst start ing nut In the game lie was Sager to secure an education and. went to a com merelal college in Ills own town. Jen. nlngs Is of the stuff that makes good. He made good as manager of the Bal timore club ot the Eastern League, and Mr. Hanlon will find out what he has lost after he has gone. Jennings Just kept that club In the race. I met his father once—a line old gentleman, and he brought me as handsome ■ black thorn as you ever raw from the old country. Will Maks a Hit in DstroiL 'Jennings kpows the game in all Its angles. He knows liow to handle men and how to get the work out of them. do not care m the least the timber h, will have to deal with In Detroit; he will be able to cope with It nil right, never feur. He'll make a distinct ht*. too. lu th*'American League. There Is nothing rlow about him. He Is full ot go and 'ginger.' and you can wager no game willing so far as he Is concerned. I lie will fight tooth and nail tor every game. He tfipuld have been In major league company long, long ago.” AMERICANS HAVE DONE THE BEST The question of which league Ir the stninger-thi* American or tha National— will probably never lie «#ttled-not. nt lenst, while she two are of as uearlr the samu strength ns they are at present, hut auy Saures ^bviirlon the oft-argued question Below- Is a summary showing how Hie tennis have iniue out In the biter league Foy 9 s Money Still Up and He Will Meet Any Welter Jack Foy, the Atlanta pugilist, who took seriously the statement of Joe Elllotte, manager for Harry Staten, that his man wanted to fight, Foy, and that money talked, and who posted 3200, has not heard anything yet of the Staten money, and still listening. Ho likewise Is S. Ventura, manager ot Foy. As far can be learned, the Staten moneywseems to be tonguetied. If It has talked any yet. It was In a* whisper. Maybe It was a stage whis per. Anyway, Foy's money Is not stage money—and It Is still posted. If Sta ten does not want It, any welterweight Is welcoms to try for 1L It Is posted for any and all. ■Up to yesterday no club had been secured for the proposed Foy-Staten fight, but one Is now In the market for the bout and has agreed to fur nish a suitable purse and Is willing to pull off the tight early next month. However, the men have not yet come to terms. Elllotte. acting for Staten, stated that any terms would be agree able. However, hie man balked at hitting In the clinches and breaks. Foy is standing out for a <5-round fleht hitting In thecllnchea and breaks, win ner to take all of the purse. This i. his Idea of a businesslike fight it! says that he does not care for Imagine .match?*, short lights or an even .11* tributlon of the money. He Is wllline to stake all on this fight. 1 1 * In Justice to Foy, the following letter Is printed from George A. Rowe. man. aging editor of The Rome Herald which he states that Foy was ’not knocked out by Peter Maher In their recent bout at Rome. It was stated la local papers that Foy was knocked out. Mr. Rowe s letter. In part, follows- Rome, Ga., Oct 22, 1908. Jack Foy. Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: Replying to your request for an expression as to your condition at the close of the boxing match be. tween yourself ond Peter Maher, at tha Casino theater In this city a few weeks ago. and of which you were both pleased to select me referee. I will sav that any statement that you were "knocked out" is Incorrect. You wers 1 certainly on your feet at the bell in ' the concluding round. • Youm truly, GEORGE A. ROWE Charlie Frank Will Return Soon From Scouting Trip Manager Charles Frank, of the Pel icans, who has been North on his vaca tion and on a scouting trip, Is expected to return to New Orleans about the middle of. next week. It was thought a few days ago that he vvould come back In the 'latter part ot this week, but he has postponed his return home. , The Pelican manager spent some time at French Lick Springs and he Jumped from there to Chicago to see the world's series. From Chicago Man ager Frank dropped down to Memphla to visit hla relatives, and he Is now spending a few days In Hot Springs. It Is believed that Manager Frank has made considerable headway In th, matter of eecurlng players for next year. He was the guest of President Comlskey, 'of the Sox, while In Chica go, and the "Old Roman” very proba bly gave him some valuable tips,on young timber. The Pelican mogul Rad Ids eye on one or two men In Indiana and Illinois, and there la so doubt that he looked them over while In that sec. tlon of the country,—New orleani Item. MINORS SWAP MANAGERS There (teem* to be • great chance for advancement among the minor league man* agera Joat now, na there nre many bertba that will be vacant before the betl ring* for the opeulng ot the season of 1907. This Is particularly true of the Eastern League and American Association, where iiuraer- ous shake-ups are scheduled. Grillo Is out at Toledo, to be succeded by Armour. It Is reported, however, that Armour haa merely been acting ua n figurehead for the Canttitona,' Joe and Mike, and that Mike, who haa been' managing the Des Molnea team for two yeafa, will take charge of the ‘Mnd ’Hens. •" Jimmy Burke haa been secured from Kansas. City by Connie Mack, and that means a new manager for the Cowboys. It-la also rumored that t>lck I’addcn Is due for n let-down at St. Paul, the owners of that team having held a inference with Eddie Aahenback with a view to thei lat ter succeeding the former Browu. Aaheu- back managed the elinmplon Scranton rluh, of the New York State League, this jotr, and l« touted ns a skilful manager. Humor has It that Ueorge Tebenn will cease to manage his I,ouliivllle club. whll* It la not certain that Kelley will be In charge of the Millers again. Charier Tarr has been re-engaged to manage Itullnii- iinoli*, aiyl -Clyuier, of course, will direct tue Columbus club. Outalde of tbe*e two clubs, none of the American Association tenuis has Its manager eluched for 1967. In the Eastern Teague, Ueorge Stnllltiga, of Buffalo; Murray, of Jeraey City: lluxb Jennings, of Baltimore, nnd Kd Burrow, of Torouto, nre the men whose places will lie vaennt. Murray will manage the Mill- Ilea; while Hugh Jeuulngi\wlll renlncc Hill Armour nt Detroit. Htalllnga nnd Harrow have announced their Intention to quit the game temporarily, at lenst. Htnllinga Is to rtm hla plantation and Burrow to ran a hotel. Than, too. It la not sure that Jock Dunn will have charge of tbs Providence club next season.
