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.

The team averages up well In size and will make the game interesting any time. 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 HERE IS A PICTURE OF FRANK KRAMER, THE AMERICAN CYCLIST, WHO HAS WON SO MUCH MONEY AND EVEN MORE HONORS AT HOME AND ABROAD. 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. Shorter Seasons For Both Major Leagues? 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.

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: "Of all exercise* used In France. 1 pre fer the game of pnlHenmlH©, because it gives good entertainment, dbe* pot do iiinud overexert Ion nnd Is well befitting a cavalier or ladye.

ENGLI8H AND FRENCH MEET IN FOOT RACES. Paris, Oct.

It is flu* first visit of Ktigifsh University athletes to the continent, and the event has created quite a stir In athletic circles. Tin* events to be contested are 100, 400, 800 and 4.627 meters fiat, 110 meters hurdles, high and broad jump j "j", 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 cbainploiiMlilp to the finish of a race, and even the receipt* of the seeolid division dub* for the last month seldom equal their operating expense*, say* The Sporting New*. The American League, which has i.v* advocated it short season, has been better bnlntiqfd than It* rival In all of ItK s sluee the adoption of tin* national etneiit, uml Interest Inis been sustained to the close. Both the pennant races xvon by the Giant* were processional, and Chance's Cub* had a walk-over lii 1906. 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 ticular cannot continue tiiiiinlinoos In the opinion that Chicago, IMttshurg Hind New York ore the only National dub* that are of championship caliber. 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 leases have been secured for future serv ices. by purchase or selection by draft under tills agreement) are ami shall la* in eligible to contract xvlth any other eltib of any league dining the period of time between the termination of their contracts aud the beginning of the next season." While the payment of salaries to player* Is limited to the contract period, control over them In uninterrupted from the end to the hegluiiig of a season. If the magnate* flint It unprofitable for each club to give 15| cxhlhlthyiK a year, why do they not restrict the race to ID games, shorten the salary period accordingly, but continue the pay of their men on the present basis) This Would enable them to start the season lu baseball xventher and close It by the middle of September. Ante-Season Games. This arrangeinNtt would enable the rival leagues to exchange games early lu April nnd late In September and as far Into Oc- tober ns may be deemed advisable. Pruc- the and profit would come from the sprl exhibitions, and training trips, fnllui annually from an artistic and flnniic standpoint, could be abandoned.

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.
