UP-TO-DATE NEWS OF SPORTING WORLD BUSY AGAIN DAVIDSON IS READY TO TACKLE TECH North Carolina Team Is Heavy, Strong ai Confident—Tech in Better Con dition Than Ever Before. "They'ra off" at 3 o'clock today on Tech field In a game which promlaea to In* na warmly and aa cloaely contested a* any of the season. The “they" hoforemontloned refers to Tech and Davidson, which two aggregations of gridiron heroes get to. gather In a contest which. If not of real championship class, at,least has a lot of Itearlng on deciding which - team Is best In yorth Carol tag gad Georgia. The' Davidson team Is a good one. all right. Coach tlelsman admits that with great gusto, and he Is a judge of football teams. The Davidson squad Is made tip of sen- soned material. Not a man In the regular line-up Is a freshman. Every one played last year either on the Davidson team or as a substitute or scrub. In consequence the players are able to work together bet- tef than would a lot of new men thrown together without any chance to get used to each other's peculiarities. Coach Graham,'who handles the tenm, Is a product of the University of Virginia. He played right end with the Virginia team In IKK under flanford of Yale. Uat year be was assistant coach of the football team •t Virginia. The membera of last year's regular team playing this year are I<euts, Whitaker, Seymour, Sadler, and McKay. Denny and Elliott were subs. The rest were, tenths. 9he Davidson team has played three games up to date. The opener was with Oak Ridge, which Davidson won—11 to 0. The other games were 0 to 0 with North Carolina and 15 to 0 victory over Georgia. While there is no undne confidence the part of Davidson that tbelr team will lw»at Tech, yet It Is a certainty that the North Carolltfa players expect to find the local bunch a comparatively easy proposi tion. That aurprlses may eventuate seems likely. Tech ‘ Is reasonably confident, too. Not of winning, perhaps, but anyway, of hold inf DuvJdson 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, na there were last Saturday, should guarantee n * good turn-out. Davidson has no particular fol lowing In Atlanta, hut local crowda nre be ginning to turn out for footholl os they do for baseball—Jnst to aee good games played.

New York, Oct. 27.—President Thomas II. Wllllsms, of the New California Jockey' Club, who returned to Man Francisco, Cal., from Belmont park late laat week, departed bearing an nsaunAire of the visit of several of the most powerful ntablea now In the East to the California metrop olis this coming winter. There will l*e one hundred and fifty atrnlght days of racing at Onklaud, Cal., Just across from Frisco. The long meeting opens on November 17. Per- hnps the most effective bit of .missionary work accomplished by Mr. Williams nod his hustling lieutenant, J. II. Scanlon, was the luring away from New Orleans, La., to the Golden West of “Ham" Hildreth. For many a winter, Hildreth and bis horses have l»een the very life of the old Fair GroundM. He will race nt the Emery ville race course this winter. Already he has shipped thirty-one head and a hand' of promising yearlings. Before going hotpc, Mr. Williams definitely secured Jockey Walter Miller. The riding aeusatlon of the New York season will work In Callfor nlo, at will Hlldebruud, Knapp, Jones ntid Horner. Among the owners who will ship their stables during <be next few days nre Walter Jannlngs. "Sandy” McNnaghton, J. T. Muir, J. J. O'Flaherty, Jules Carson, "Barney" Schrleber, L. J. Holland nnd T. M. Cassidy. ''Sandy" McNnughton brings west one of the greatest colta ever aent over the Rockies'. This Is the Voter colt Vox Popull. This youngster wa» sold by James It. Keene for $4,003. It Is a ques tion whether $25,000 would get the horse from the Scotchman now. Unless he la outwelghtcd by the handlcnper. this horae will be n bigger hit than was Dr, Gardner or Dr. !<eggo last winter.

I wrote what 1 felt with the hope that It might do aome good aomewhere: that It might advance the game of baaeball Hitting in the Clinches Suits Coffroth All Right Much dlscussfin has been engaged In of late among the pugilistic fans over the question of whether hitting In the clinches should be allowed. It seems the opinion of the real fighters that hitting when either man has on nrm free will always guaran tee a real fight and not/a hugging match. The opinion of Jimmy Coffroth, the great fight promoter, on the question Is of In terest. When* the Main Bergcr-Fhlladelpbla Jack O'Brien fight fell through because O’Brien Insisted on no hitting In the clinches, nnd clean breaks, Coffroth said: "Gentlemen. I do not wish to handle the match under those conditions. My ex perience has taught me that the public desires ns much fighting as Is possible to be crowded luto the three minutes of each round. With the conditions suggested by O'Brien, this match will develop Into u question of who shall referee. Berger will want his construction of the rules to pre vail and O'Brien will be' nnturnly solid- toas that 4he referee 1* 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-wlt: fighting nt all times when either arm la free. Let's drop the match If you can not agree to thnt. Unless you do, the contest Is off as far as I am concerned." JOE BEENE SAW AUBURN PLAY Walking up and down the aldellnea 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 fact. 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 this strength of the Information secured by the assistant coach of the Tech aggregation. Coach Helsman will base his plans for offense and 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 fn the South this season. McAlser lost Wallace! That Is what Jones !o,t In Callahan. The club was without an outfield and possessed a very weak hitting third basoman. So- called. experts who rate men as ma chines figured that It would, not be bet ter than fifth or sixth In the American League. Despite a bad start and In juries to Davis.

FOOTBALL TODAY- EAST AND WEST, Right on-top of the finish In that race It got out and won the champlonahlp of the world from a 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 est* individual aggregation in the world, urge for Its miserable showing? It possesses the three best Inflelders In the world—Lnjofe, Bradley and Turner —t.wo. good first basemen, two good outfielders, four fine pitchers and three excellent catchers. . And New York and Philadelphia nnd St.. Louis find Boston, what excuses can they urge? Not one. When L 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 buseball. I had'been told that the Giants were a great team. When I sAw them play I said to Mr. Flanner; "It must be a 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. There never was such a thing as a natural ball player, anyhow. Anatomists will tell you that throwing Is a most unnatural motion. The day of catch-as-catch-can base- EA8T.

Ne* York, Oct. 27.—There la the pathetic aide In the wonderful Jum ble of men and emotion of 'the present-day betting ring. About twelve years ago Riley Grannen was hailed ns the "King "f Plungers.” He bet $10,000 on the raise of a finger and frequently won * r lost $30,000 In an afternoon. Faultless In attire, Belvidere In form, this surely was the Ideal ot the race track gambler. One day this week nt Jamaica, Grannen was found quarreling on the "back line over a $10 bet on n 4 to 6 shot. , Infirm of health, and bent In spirit, this one-time princely fellow >1 the race tracks is but a suggestion of his former heroic self. x e*. this Is one of the hard Incidents In a day of racing—the spo^j*' cle of this man who stood to win or lose $65,000 on the outcome **f Henry of Navarre-Domino match of a few years ago, gingerly skinning the lowly back line for tops.
