EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING TECH BUSY AGAIN TTTF! ATLANTA GKOKGIAN. SATl KDAY OCTOBER, 27, 190C. DAVIDSON IS READY TO TACKLE TECH North Carolina Team Is Heavy, Strong and Confident—Tech in Better Con dition Than Ever Before. •They’re or* nt 3 o’clock today on Tech Hold In n gam* which promise* to l*c ns warmly and an cloaely contefted »* any «*f the staton. The •‘they" bcforeinentloned refers to Tech and Davldaon. which two aggregation* of gridiron heroes get to gether In a content which, If not of real championship clast, at least has n lot of (tearing t?n deciding which team la test In North Carolina and Georgia. The Davidson testn Is a good one. nil right. Coach Helatnan adroit* that with great gusto, and he la a Judge of football teams. The Dartdaon squad is made up of sen imbed material. Not n man In the regular line-up la a freshman. Every one played last year eCher on the Davidson team or ■a a euhstliute or scrub. In consequence the players are able to work together bet ter than would a lot of new men thrown together without any chance to get used to each other's peculiarities. Conch Graham, who handles the team. Is a product of the University of Virginia. He played right end with the Vlrjpnla team In 1904 under Sanford of Yale. loiat year he was assistant coach of the football team at Virginia. The members of last year’s regular team playing this year are Lents, Whitaker. Seymour, Sadler, and McKay. Denny and Elliott were tubs. The rest were scrubs. • ‘ The Davidson team has played three games up to date. The opener waa with Oak Kldge, which Davidson won—11 to 0. The other games were 0 to 0 with North Carolina and 16 to 0 Victory over Georgia. While there Is no undue confidence the part of Davidson that their team will (tent Tech, yet It Is n certainty that the North Carolina players espeet to find the local hunch a comparatively easy proposl tlon. That surprises may eventuate seems likely. Tech Is reasonably confident, too. Not of winning, [trrhapg, bat anyway, of hold ing Davidson safe and possibly of defeat ing the representatives of the Old Domin ion. • * The game ought to attract a great crowd. The Ideal weather and the fact that there are no counter-attractions, ns there wore Inst Knturdsy, should guarantee u good turn-out. Davidson has no particular fol lowing In Atlanta, but local crowds nre be ginning to turn out for football ns they do for baseball— Just to see good games played. Tech carpentry forces have l»een busily working for the last week on Increased seating rapacity at the park and before long Tech park will be able to accommodate ns ninny patrons as any In the middle Month. « The probable line-up for today’s game fol lows: DAVIDSON.

New York, Oct. 27.—President Thomas II. Williams, of the New California Jockey Club, who returned to Han Francisco, Cal., from Belmont park late Inst week, departed Iwnrlug nil nssurnnee of the visit of aevcrnl of the moat poweffhl atnbles now In the East to the California metrop- oils this coming winter. There will be one hundred and fifty straight days of racing at Oakland. Cal., Just across from Frisco. The long moetlng opens on November 17. Per haps the most effective bit of missionary work accomplished by Mr. Williams and his hustling nontenant, J. II. Hcanlon, was the luring away from New Orleans, lot., to the Golden West of “Ham” Hildreth. For many a winter, Hildreth niul bis horses have been the very life 'of the old Fair Grounds, He will race nt the Emery ville race course this winter. Already he has shipped thirty-one hend-nnd a band of promising yearlings. Before going home, Mr. Williams definitely secured Jockey Walter Miller. The riding aenantlon of the New York season will work In C^llfor nln, ns will Hildebrand, Knapp, Jones and Horner. Among the ownera who will ship their stables during the next fetf days'ure Walter Jennlugs. ••Handy” McNnughton, J. T. Muir, J. J. O’Flnberty, Jules Carson. ••Barney” 8chrlel»er. L. J. Holland nnd T. M. Cnasldy. “Sandy” McXaughton brings west one of the greatest colts ever sent over the Rockies. This Is the Voter colt Vox Popull. This youngster was sold by James R. Keene for $4,004. It Is a ques tion whether $23,000 would get the horse from the Scotchman now. Unless ho Is out weigh ted by the handlcnper. this horse will be a bigger hit than was Dr. Gardner or Dr. I^ggo last winter. THE RENAISSANCE OF BASEBALL Sine* truth and ebnstancy are vain, Since neither love nor aenae of pain, Nor force of reaaon can peraunde, Then let example be obeyed. • —Granville. During the departed aummer I fre quently urged that baaeball vvns 2u year, behind the lima, aay* J. B. Sheri dan . In The St. Loula Po«t-DI,patch. and that baaeball player, and man ager, were slow, torpid and thlck- •kulled. Plain talk like thl, I, not cal culated to win general popularity. I wrote what I felt with the hope that It might do aome good aonlfewhere; that It might advance the game of baaeball nnd bring more thoroughly Into prac tice Ita Hne point,, and. In turn, more, thoroughly introduce these to the peo ple. ao that. Inatead of yawping and yelling at umpire and abualng visiting players and cheering errors, the spec tators might alt quietly and enjoy the beauties of the game under thorough demonstration. The work of the White Sox this sea son will do more to bring thl, about than alt the preaching a Demosthenes can do ln.a lifetime. The recorjl of this team, especially this year. Is worthy of the close study of men who manage men all over the world. It began the season with the lops .of Its best ball player, Callahan. Suppose Hitting in the Clinches Suits Coffroth All Right Much .discussion has been engaged Ip of Into among the pugilistic fans over the quefetion of whether bitting In the clinches should l>e allowed. It seems tlio opinion of the real fighters that hitting when either innu hns nn nrm free will always guaran tee a real fight nnd not a hugging match. The opinion of Jimmy Coffroth, the great fight promoter, on the question Is of In terest. When the Snm Berger-J’hllndelphla Jack O’Brien fight fell through because O’Brien Insisted on no bitting In the clinches, and clean breaks, Coffroth sold: •‘Gentlemen. I do not wish to handle the match under those conditions. My ex perience has taught me that the public desires ns ranch, fighting as is possible to be crowded Into the three minutes of each round. With the conditions suggested by O’Brien, this match will develop Into a question of who shall referee. Berger will want his construction of the rules to pre vail nnd O'Brien will be naturaly solici tous that the referee Is the one who will at all times see his end of the contention. We do not want this kind, of a fight. Give us a match that the public likes— the kind of fighting they like—to-wit: lighting nt nil times when either arm la free. Let's drop the match If you can not agree to that. Unless you do. the contest Is off as far as I am concerned.” JOE BEENE SAW AUBURN PLAY Walking up and down the sidelines at Birmingham and watching with the deepest Interest the doings of the Sewanee and Auburn teams In the game. Friday afternoon was a short, stoutly built young gentle man named Beene, Joseph Beene, In fqpt. Mr, Beene went to Birmingham as Tech’s representative and he went to get a line on the Auburn team which plays in Atlanta against Tech next Saturday afternoon. On the strength of the Information secured by the assistant coach of the Tech aggregation, Coach Hetsman will base his plans for offense nnd defense In the game next Saturday, which, by the way, promises to be one of the most luscious of the large crop of peach games played In the South thlB season.

I Right on top of the finish In that race It got out and won the championship of the world fronra club that had been having an easy race In Its own league and which had the championship won a month before the’season ended. Now, what excuse can the great Cleveland club, admittedly the strong er Individual aggregation In the world, urge for Its miserable showing? It possesses the three beBt Inffeldera in the world*—Lt^le,-Bradley and Turner —two good mat basemen, two good outfielders, four fine pitchers and three excellent catchers. And New York and Philadelphia and St. Louis and Boston, what excuses can they urge? Not one. When I made by now celebrated “Craxy Crack” about six teams in the American League race being good enough to win the National League pennant I was moved thereto by the vision of the Giants, the world's champions. For some years I had not seen very much of baseball. I had been told that the Giants were a great team. When I saw them play I said to Mr. Planner: “It must be n bad league In which such men as these cun win a championship and a worse one from which they can win a world’s cham pionship.” Genius Is all right In Its way. It will still lead, but It must be backed by solid qualities and by everlasting hard work. The day of the old “natural” ball player la done.
