AUBURN TEAM OUTWEIGHS
ANY TECH HAS TACKLED
8peclnl to Tbe Georgian.
Auburn, Ala., Oct 31.—The Auburn
football team got through the Bir
mingham game with Sewanee in good
condition, and the men are now at
their best, with the exception of a little
aoreness. While the game was a hard
one and hard fought, not a player was
injured.
The Auburn team Is very well satis
fied with the Sewanee score, as it was
their first game of the season with a
heavy team, and several of their pay
ers had never been tried before.
Coach Donahue will put them
through light practice during the
malnder of the week for the game v
Tech next Saturday.
As to who compose the team and the
ages and weights of its members, the

SMITH DRAFTS SHORTSTOP
FROM CEDAR RAPIDS TEAM
Billy Smith has drafted a shortstop.
The name of the new man Is Neal
Ball and he was a member of the Cedar
Rapid# team of the Three I Leaue. The
aggregation with which Bnll played
won the championship this year.
According to the best dope obtain
able Ball Is 5 feet 7 Inches tall, weighs
170 pounds. Is 25 years old, In good
health and a man of exemplary habits.
Last season he played In 118 games,
batted .265 and fielded .9.11.
Belden Hill, manager of th<j t'ednr
Rapid* team, wrote of Ball as follows:
"Ball can piny In any position. He
is one of the .most natural ball players
1 ever saw. 1 first signed him for a
pitcher and he would be a star pitcher,
but I needed a second baseman and
put him on second and he was by far,
the star of our league, and the past
year I let Berth go and put Bnll on
short, and he was by far the best man
In .the league In that position.
"I would not hesitate a minute to
recommend him for third. He covers
a world of ground and can throw from
any position and Is sure on fly balls.
"He bits and runs bases fine—In fact,
he Is one of -the best base runners I
have ever seen. He Is one of those
dashing, hustling players that one likes
to see play.
"I was offered $1,000 cnsh for him
In the spring, but 1 would not sell him
then."
Just where Ball will be tried Is not
at all certain. Undoubtedly, however,
lie will be given a show at short stop
In competition with Whltey Morse.
However, as be seems to be good In any
position, lie may turn up elsewhere In
the Jlne-up before the pennon Is ove

TECH WORKING FIERCELY
TO PREPARE FOR AUBURN
The football player# tit Tech tire going
at practice full tilt these days, and strain
ing every effort to get ready for the ter
rible Auburn team, which makes Its 1906
debut here Saturday, fresh from Its all-
hut-triumph over Sewanee and strong In
knowledge of football, condition and train
ing.
The Auhtiru team Is one%vh!ch will have
to be ranked among the best in the South
this year. Conceding that Vanderbilt Is cer
tain of'first honors, mid Hint Sewanee will
probably be ranked second, there is certain
to be a lively fight on for third honors.
Auburn and Tech are both In the running
for that prlrc, and their game Saturday
will settle tin* question of which of the two
i entitled to the honor.
The Tech team has never quite rounded
to after tlie gruelling tight of last Satur
day, aud the team has not been worked
this week with nil the men In their regu
lar positions. However, it is hoped that
Tech’s strongest lluo-up wttl be in the
game against Auburn, for Coach II els man,
the team and every Tech supporter ta
particularly anxious to put the Auburn
game to the credit of the Yellow Jack-
ets.
Unless somebody miscalculates, the crowd
for the Auburu game will be the Inrgest of
the yeflr thus far. Interest In the contest
Is Increasing In leaps aud hound*, mil
when the ticket ufflce opens Saturday after,
noon—provided that the weather is g«M>-i~
lt I* likely that some business will bo done
there.
The knowledge that the Auburn players
average lu weight almost 170 pounds to the
mail Is not nt all reassuring to Tech sup
porters.
They are 10 jiouuds heavier to the tnnn
than the Sewanee team, which defented
Tech, and greatly outweigh the Yellow
Jackets.
However, weight docs not cut as much
figure this year as It lias In years past,
whleli tact Sewauee demonstrated by de
feating Auburn.

BALL PLAYING DATES BACK
BEYOND ALL OTHER GAMES
The renders of this article will be sur
prised to learn «f the origin «f ball play
ing. which lias developed lu *o many va
rieties of the present day. says Brunt
Held, lu The Syracuse post Standard.
I found the facts of It* history In till
article of the most widely rend 'German
Weekly, Die Gnrtenlnube, of l.elpslg.
The words bnll and ballet ns dance
entertainments owe their origin to ball
playing, for this was connected In past
centuries with the dance preceding or bil
lowing It or filling out pauses between
dancing.
The dexterous throwing and catching of
the ball gave good chance* for the display
of grace, coquetry and gnllantry.
Ball playing, perhaps, the most Inter
esting game, was and has become the most
• popular in Its various forms, but It I*
also the oldest gstne. for llotner In Id*
•'Odyssey" descrllie* most charmingly how
the lovely ilnuslcaa, daughter of the king
of the riiaesclnus, enjoyed ii game of ball
with her playmates while waiting for their
garment* to dry after n bath.
The ball game flourished in Italy In the
Sixteenth century, nnd eouslsled In having
the ball iballoi driven nnd caught from
player to player by a sort of bat tmagllal,
very similar to our present tennis play.
The young people of towns and villages
enjoyed the active playing, while their
elders were Interested spectators, '•sev
eral among whom regret tod," ns the his
torian has It. "that the gate between
sprightly youth aud sedate maturity had
been close to them."

From Italy the game spread to Spain,
France nnd Germany, nnd -formed lu Hie
seventeenth century an Important part In
entertainments nt royal courts and among
(lit* nobility. Burghers ami people gen
erally cultivated It. Large buildings were
erected with wide halls, where the game
could be played during unfavorable weath
er. or in adjoining courts op on park pints
t»u fair days.
Or the players amused themselves on the
large market place or on fine boulevards,
planted with shade trees, behind which
sprang up gradually residences, forming
a street, which retained naturally the tuinie
of It* former use.
The ball game came from Paris to Kng-
huid, ami 111 particular to Loudon, before
nnd durihg the reign of Charles I, and
as early a* in 1598 nn English author,
Robert Datllugton, speaks of It In this
wise:

cavalier or ladye. I wonder why, among
the many foolish and monkeyish grille* that
have been Imported from France to Fug

here?"
It seems, though, that the game did not
take root In Ftiglaml, for lu 167*) an Eng-

game that was formerly much played In
the long alley near St. James, but t'baric*

and throwing the discus.
Experience prove* beyond dispute that a
151 game season cannot be profitable unless
there are three or more contestant* for the

A National League dub owner asserted
recently that Chicago was the only Na
tional League team which earned the salary
of Its players for the last month of the
season Just closed. This broad statement
can he neeepted a* true a* to all dubs,
with the possible exception of Brooklyn.
The men behind the clubs must concede
that the chances of u race in whleli four
clubs have pennant prospects fqr more
than half of the period of play are remote.
The success of the American In thl* par

opinion that Chicago, IMttshurg Hind New

Carries No Weight.
The only argument that can be advanced
for a 151 game schedule I* that It afford*
the club* a chance for greater profit Ginn
one of 140 games, but the fallacy of till*
preposition has been demonstrated so often
that it carries no xvdght. The contract
period of the National and American
leagues is for #l.t iiioutli* and will not be
abbreviated during llu* coutlnuniiee of the
friendly rivalry, xvhieji date* from the
adoption of the national agreement. While
service I* required of players for the six
months during which they are under con
tract, the title of each club to Its talent
con tin ties through the year. Section 1 of
article 7 of the national iigrcmcnt, sustain
ing lids statement, reads as follows:
"Buell players, together with nil others
thereafter to be regularly contracted xvlth
b,v such clubs inillijeJy, those whose re

Is limited to the contract period, control

FOOTBALL DOPE FROM MANY FIELDS
PONCE DE LEON BALL PARK
IS LAID OUT BY BILLY SMITH
Billy Smith #pent Tuesday morning
at Ponce DeLeon baseball park, laying
out the nexv diamond where he and
his men xvill be on exhibition next
spring.
Smith Is very much pleased with th^
new field.
"It xvill be much larger and better
In every way than the old diamond,"
said Smith. "The right field will be 5fi
feet longer than In the old park. From
home plato to center field will be 500
feet; from left field to home plate,
475, and from center field, 335."
These distance# are »o great that
Billy Smith figures it out a# an im
possibility to knock a ball over the
fence.
The right field of the new park will
be the "sun field" instead of the left,
as was the case at Piedmont. It will
not be as bad on the fielder as the old
ore. hoxvever.
Almpst all the work of grading has
been completed at the nark, and only
the last filling and the smoothing re
main to be clone. The field will be
sodded with Bermuda and will be then
In condition, except for the final
smoothing and polishing next spring.
