football team got through the Bir
mingham game with Sewanee In good
condition, and the men are now

The Auburn team I* very well satls-
fled with the Sewanee acore, as. it wan
their first game of the season with a
heavy team, and several of their play

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
Rapids team of the Three I Leaue. The
aggregation with which Ball 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 und fielded .931.
Belden Hill, manager of the Cedar
Rapids team, wrote of Ball as follows:
“Ball can play In any position. He
is one of the most natural ball players
I ever saw. i first signed him for a
pitcher and he would be a star pitcher,
but 1 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 Ball 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 und can throw from
any position and Is sure on fly balls.
“He hits and runs bases tine—In fact,
he Is one of tho best base runners I
have ever seen. He Is one of those
dashing, hustling players that one likes
to sec play.
“I was offered 31,000 cash for him
In the spring, hut 1 would not sell him
then.’’*
Just where Ball will be tried Is not
at all certain, t’ndoubtedly, however,
he will be given a show at short stop
In competition with Whltey Morse.
However, as he seems to be good In any
position, he may turn up elsewhere in
the line-up before the season Is ove

The Auburn team I* one which will have
to be ranked among the best In the South
this year. Conceding that Vanderbilt Is cer
tain of first honors, and that Sewanee will
probably be ranked second, there I* certain
to be a lively tight on for third butters.
Auburn and Teeh are both in the ruuniug
for that prize. Itnd their game Saturday
will set tie the question of which of the two
is entitled to the honor.
The Tech team has never quite rounded

day, and the team has not been worked

Tech’s strongest line-up .will he In the I

Is Increasing In leap* and bounds, and
when the ticket office opens Saturday after*

It is likely that some busluess will be done

BALL PLAYING DATES BACK ’
BEYOND ALL OTHER GAMES
• The readers of this article will be stir
prised to lenru of the origin, of ball play
lug. which hn«* developed In so ninny va
rletles of the present day. says Krnst
Held, lu The Syracuse Post Standard.
I found the fads of Its history lu
article of the most widely rend tier
weekly. Die Gnrtcnhtiihc, of I.eipslg.
The weirds bn 11 and ballet ns di
entertainments owe their origin to bait
• playing, for this was connected In past
(•enturlc* with the dance preceding or fol-
’ lowing it or filling out pauses between
dancing.
The dexterous throwing and catching of
the ball gave food chances for the display
of grace, coquetry and gallantry.
Ball playing, perhaps, the most Inter
esting game, won and has become the most
popular In its various forms, but It Is
also the oldest game, for Bonier lu his
"Odyssey” descrll*** most charmingly how
the lovely llausicnn, daughter of the king
of the Plmenelnns, enjoyed a game of ball
with her playmates while waiting for their
garments to dry after n bath.
The ball gune flourished lu Italy In the
sixteenth century, and consisted lu having
the ball fimilo) driven and caught from
player to player by n sort of bat unngllui,
very similar to our present tenuis play.
The young people of towns and villager
enjoyed the active playing, while their
elders were Interested spectators, ••sev
eral among whom regretted,”.ns the his
torian has It, -that the gate bet wee u
sprightly youth and sedate maturity had
been close to them."
From Italy the game spread to Spain.
France and Germany. and formed In the
seventeenth century mi Important part In
entertainments at royal courts ami among
tin* nobility. Iturghcrs npd people gen
erally cultivated It. I.nrge buildings were
erected with wide halls, where the game
could be played during unfavorable weath
er, or lu ndjolulng courts or on park plats
on fair days.
Or the players amused themselves on the
large market place or on fine boulevards,
planted with shade trees, behind which
sprang up grndunll.v residences, forming
a street, which retained naturally the name
of Its former use.
The ball gnine came from I’nrls to Eng-
Inud, and In particular to London, before
and during the reign of (iutrlo* I. and
ns early as In 1598 nn English author,
ltobert Bonington, speaks of It lu this
wise:
"Of all exercises used In France, 1 pre
fer the game of pnlllcnmllle, because It
gives good eiityrtaluiiieut, does net de
mand over-exertion and Is well befitting n
tiler or hidye. I wonder why, among
the many foolish and monkeyish games that
* been Imported from France to Eng
land. the pnlllomnlllo has not been brought
seems, though, that the game did not
take root in Fugluud, for In 1670 an Fug
lisli writer speaks of pnllleiunille us a
game that was formerly much played In
the long alley near St. James, but Charles
II played It passionately, and some poems
>f that time praised It.
Experience proves beyond dispute that n
154-game season cannot be profitable unless
here nre three or more contestants for the
hatnploushlp to the finish of a race, and
veil the receipts of the second division
bibs for the last month seldom equal their
operating expenses, says The Sporting
s. The American League.. which has
nlwn.vs advocated a short senso^ has been
better balanced thnn Its rival In all of Its
s since the adoption of the national
agreement, and interest lias been sustained
to the close. Both the pennant races Won
by the Giants were processional, mid
Chance's Cubs had a walk-over In 1906.
A National League Hub owner asserted
recently that Chicago w.ts the only Na
tional Longue team whleh earned the salary
of its players for the last mouth of the
season Just closed. This broad statement
can be accepted ns true as to all Hubs,
With tile possible exception of Brooklyn.
The men behind, the Hubs must concede
that the chances of a race in which four
clubs have pennant prospects for more
than half of the period of play are remote.
The success of the American In this par
tlculnr cannot continue tumultuous in the
opinion that Chicago, Pittsburg ami New
York nre the only National Hubs that nre
of championship caliber,
Carries No Weight.
The only argument that can lie ndvnnced ;
for a 151 game schedule Is that It affords
the Hubs a chance for greater profit than
one of HO games, but the fallacy of this
proposition has been demonstrated so often
that It carries no weight. The contract
period of the National nml American
leagues 1* for six months and will not be
abbreviated during the cunt I nuance of the
friendly rivalry, which dates from the
adoption of the national agreement. While
service is required of players for the six
months during which they are under con
tract, the title of each club to Its talent
Continues through the year. Section 1 of
article 7 of the national agroineut, sustain
ing this atnteluent, rend* a* follows:
"Such players, together with all others
thereafter to l*» r-gulaliy contracted with
by such Hub* (namely, those whose re-
leases have been set'll ml for future serv
ices. by purchase or selection by draft
under this agreement) are aud shall he In
eligible to contract, with any other Hub
of any league during the period of time
between the termination of their contracts
and the beginning of the next Reason.”
While the payment of salaries to players
Is limited to the contract period, control
over them Is uninterrupted from the end to
the liegliilug of a season. If the magnates
find It unprofitable for each Hub to give
154 exhibition* a year, why do they not
restrict the race fo 111 games, shorten the
salary period accordingly, Imi continue the-
pay of their men on tin* present basis':
This would enable them to start the season
In baseball weather and Hose It by the
middle of Septemlmr.
Anto-Staton Games.
This arrangement would enable the rlvnt
Uniige games early In April
id late lii
tlce and profit would couic from the spring
exhibitions, and training trips, failures
annually from aa artistic and flnnuchil
standpoint, could be alMiudoned.
Another advantage that cannot bo over
estimated would be doing nwuy with dou
ble-headers, thnt cheapen the game and
affect the attendance on preceding and suc
ceeding days. No secret Is more closely
guarded by a Hub owner thnn his intention
to give patrons a double bill, mid official
announcement Is never made la advance of
tbe day selected. With a less iiundier of
games In a season’s schedule there would
be no necessity for cuutllcta In cities tup-
portlng two Hubs.
1'iesideiit Boblson, who goes further iuto
this subject thnn any of bis lissoHntes In
the National League or rivals in the Ameri
can League, has prepared a schedule for
each major league championship race, end
ing on September 1, to be supplemented
with mi Interchange of games between nil
tbe clubs of each league In rotation.
Ills plan 'would do away with the world’s
series, but lie promise* that a purse of
$10,000 be awarded to the major league club
thnt makes the best record In the Inter-
league series, with proportionate prises to
the teams finishing second, third and so on.
The schedule question (s one that appeals f
inure directly to the Hub owners than to
patrons. The public has the privilege of
staying away from games when Interest
wanes, but the magnate must pay salaries
and other expenses whether provided from
the ls»x office or Ids private purse.
Billy Smith spent Tuesday morning
at Ponce DeLeon baseball park, laying
out the new diamond where he and
his men will be on exhibition next
spring. *
Smith Is very much pleased with the
new field.
"It will be much larger and better
In every way than the old diamond,”
sabl Smith. “The light field will be 50
feet longer than in the old park. Fr<
These distances fire so great that
Billy Smith figures It out as 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, however.
Almost all the work of grading has
been com Dieted at the nark, and only

New York. Oct. 31.—With a light
blow over the heart, John McGrath
killed his friend, John Bergen, both 18
years old, In a boxing contest In the
Holy <’ro*H Lyceum.
Although of the most friendly nature,
the rivalry between the lads, who were
regarded the best of friends, was keen
and each was anxious to prove himself
the better boxer.
The attendance at the bout was large
and both young men were at their best.
Their blows did not appear to bo hard
and the audience believed each of the
boys was trying to outpoint his oppo
nent without punishing him. Suddenly
MeGvdth*landed a blow near Bergen’s
heart. The latter fell, apparently in
great agony. He died in less than five
minutes. McGrath was almost crazed
with grief. He was arrested.
