N#w York. Xov. 9.—Unless some
plan be evolved to place "freak” cars
In a class by themselves In the an
nual Ormond Beach races the repre
sentatlves of foreign cars that enter a
speed tournament will bo decidedly
slim. Among the machines that, it was
declared, would be withdrawn would be
those of the Darracq and Fiat com
panies, both of which were conspicuous
in the last .Southern meet.
E. Band Hollander, a Flat represen
tative, has suggested a plan for the
elimination of "freaks." He asks that
the long-distance races be placed first
in the week's program with the sprints
reserved for the closing days. Ma
chines in order to qualify for the cham
pionship dashes at one, two and five-
miles, fifty kilometers and thirty miles,
must make a mark, say, fifty miles an
hour. This would eliminate the "freaks'
and! the cars that could go the pace at
.nil 'distance* would'line up for the
world's championship at one mile.

Coach Whitney, Assistant Coach Cox, Captain Raoul and ex-Captaln Doxier Lowndes—these are the
men who have the destinies of the Georgia team in their hands. Largely through their efforts the Georgia team
has reached Its present high state of perfection and If the Athens players defeat Tech in the big struggle of
Haturday the credit belongs tor them, as well os to the men who play the guine.
! ORGANIZED BALL
U
UNDER FIRE AGAIN!
The Unlit between organized und
Mttil-profeulonaU ball may develop Into
one of tho big aenaatlona of the game,
»y« a Chicago exchange.
If eeml-profeealonal ball wine on the
laauea ut etake the reserve rule and
tho czar-llke powere of the united ma
jor leagues will get a Jolt that will
•hake up the very foundation*. Buch
a result would mean the players can
laugh at the restrictions Imposed by
the national commission and go where
they please to earn extra money In
their leisure hours. .
A few years ago Bon Johnson and
his followers assailed the reserve rule
am! the slavery of bull players, coax
ing scores of stars away from the Na
tional League to build up their own
organization.
When they had the American League
on a firm footing they hurriedly re
turned to the reserve rule and all the
old slavery conditions ns being tbc very
bulwark of tho game.
Now the send-professional desires
again to test these conditions and to
have as much fun with the leagues as
Johnson unco had with the National
League.
[HUGH DUFFY MAY
| GO TO PROVIDENCE
The various shifts of managers on
the checkerboard of baseball this fall
will probably place Hugh Duffy at the
'helm of the Providence club of the
'Eastern League. Duff has been dis
placed ut Philadelphia by Billy Murray,
•and there Is no other berth open for
'film In the National. The Boston
‘Americans still lack a leader, but It Ih
.not thought thut the place has been
offered to Duffy.
Blnce Pat Powers was re-elected
president of the Eastern League he has
Intimated that he would turn the con
trol of tho Providence club over to u
f couple of gtMtd baseball men. These
tare believed to lie no others than Duffy

And at that, only light work will be

preparation for their greut exertloue Sat

The Tech team will go Into the game dis
tinctly weakened. Drown la practically

and Drown hna Just the dealred amount

Ho tnken all In nil It la not Tech nt her

afternoon.
As for Georgia—no man knowetb,* or if
Tho buueh
down there la troubled with u rush of al
ienee to the face and will probably not
recover uutll tho Tech game. If liny
man learns the real line-up It will !»c by
mistake. Also It la not likely that any
one will know the real weights of the men.
From every aide yon look at It. the game
Haturday promises to be the liveliest thing
of the seaton.
Doth teams will be represented on the
field with loud brass bauds, whlcn will dls-
ponte tnusle, popular‘and unpopular, nud
do their beat to furnlaU their share of
the noise.
And speaking 'of noise, there wilt bo
"some,*' nil right. Tho Georgia-Tech game
Ig the only one of the year when thu Tech
rooters have n chance to perform In com
petition. Aud they enn bo counted upon
to drown out the Georgia "yellera" or
spilt a lung.
Some uncertainty remains about tho
ofllclals for the game. George Butler,
of. Augusta, will referee and Robert
Patterson, the ex-Vanderb!lt center and
G. M. A. coach, will be one of tho
umpires. It was hoped that Henry
Phillips could he secured ns Uie other
umpire, but he Is not available for the
game. (?oaph Helstmm Iiah submitted
several names to the Georgia authori
ties and hopes to get the matter
atraightenod up long before tho game
starts.'
It Is likely that 25-mlnute halves will
be played, although this matter has
not been settled.
FEW CHANGES IN ;
LEAGUE CIRCUITS!
The best feature of Imseball nt the pres
ent time Im the fuct that few changes take
place In tho different clrcllts, writes Tim
Murnnue, even the small tniuor leagues
sticking well together.
I doubt If thore will be a chtfngd hi tho
two big circuits for the next six years,
until utter tho ten-year compact la nt n»
end. Detroit la thu only major league city
*IH)ken of as likely to v/ucate tho major
league map, ami when It comes dowu to n
show, my honest opinion Is that Detroit Is
hero to stay. With a welbmnungcd team,
Detroit Is all right sad tho most delight*
fill city In either circuit to visit during
tbo summer months. With the major league
circuits holding fust there cuu bo tio en
forced ehaiigo lu tbo minor leagues, at
Class A can not take a city lu u lower
clnsr unless forced to vacate one of their
cities by tbc major leagues. For example,
a city of tbc South Atlantic 1<vaguo could
not be taken bj tbv Southern League un
less by unnuliuout cooseut of tho snutllef
league. The Eastern Magus could uot take
it city from tho Now Luglund or Now
York Htnto League for the same reason.
Iii this way, tho small minor leagues have
protected their cities from the higher
classes taking their best cities nt random.
There Is iiothlng like protecting the prop
erty rights of leagues aud Individuals, aud
while tho great army of bull players work
In the opposite direction, they move under
a false star aud sro only temporarily bene
fited. The owner of a baseball fraucblse
Is In the business to stay urn! make meuoy
for years to come, while tho player Is lu
the game to make tho biggest rake-off lu
the quickest time, never knowing Just wheu
be will have hard luck mid full to keep up
a hot puce. '

Doe Is well known In New England
baseball circles. He Is u part owner
{with Jesse Burkett, of the Worcester
!«1ub, which had a highly profitable sea-
[son this year. Jimmy Oollln* owns a
{slice of the Worcester dub stock, and
if he can secure his release from Boa-
i ton he may follow- Burkett's example
; and shine as a star In the minors.
’ Just what would become of Jack
«Dunn if.Duffy goes to Providence Is a
question. If the shift is made the ex-

Here's vvhnt George II. Brooke says about
the attack In football under the new rules:
••It 1ms always been n gecogulxcd nxlom
that the weakest place In a team vvns Just
outside of tackle. This year oittshle of
tackle and around the ends are the most
vulnerable points. Dy Phieing the half
back* lutek aud u little outside of tackle, j
the lialf-baek can support the end and
tackle very quickly."
Here I* Mr. Brooke’s Idea about rfhudllug
the forward pass ou defense:
> "When the opposing team attempts to
forward puss. It Is better for the defen
sive side to knock the opponents out from
under It und let the bull hit the ground.
The rule* say that a forward pass which
hits the ground before It touduw the
the players, try to pick up the leather.
In former years, under tho old rules. If
a hall was fumbled and u player tried
to pick it up instead of mnkiug u flying
dive ami lauding on the pigskin, he was
given a call or swift kick by the coach.—
Exchange.
Tbc difference is that uuder the old wiles
the )>osHcs*len of the ball was hnlf the
buttle. Under the new ones it Is uot only
necessary to have the ball but to advance It
at every opporuulty—for ten ynrds lu three
downs luis proved such a monumental task
to accomplish.
The latest tblug iu football is "accidental
slugging.’'
BUI Ueid, coach of the Blarvard team,
Itjier side goes to the defend- discovered It. Iu last Saturday's game
piuye
ing side at the point from which the pass
was made. It Is certainly better to have
the ball taken back from where the pass
Is made than for one of the defending
to catch the ball und attempt to
run It back, there when the chances of
doing this are exceedingly remote.'.'
tine difference I* noted on the football
fields this year. When n ball is fumbled.
•h yells: "Grab # lt and ruu,” and
Halfback Wendell was ruled out of the
gniue for u pugilistic exhibition. Held gave
It out that he would Investigate, and if
the charge of brutality was sustained would
rule Barret! off for the remainder of the
season.
After the investigation Held decided that
Wendell's slugging was "accidental."'
The next verdlet looked for is one of
''Justifiable slugging."
But there we draw the line.
BASEBALL FRANCHISES WORTH
MORE THAN A MINT THESE DAYS
That the Increase In baseball value*
ha* been something phenomenal and
ha* more than kept pace with the in
crease In*other value* in till* country,
says mr exchange, I* proven by. state-
huAtnes*. Baseball was but a side line,
to act a* a feeder for the street car
business.
It cost something like $10,000 to fl9at
the Cleveland club, which was then In
ments made by President Stanley Rob- the American Association. The club
l*on, of the St. Louis club,
the club* now In the American League,
Detroit ami Cleveland, are the ones to
which particular reference was made.
Mr. Robinson and hf* brother first be
came Integrated In baseball at Cleve
land, when they were in the street car
did not prove u paying Investment, and
the other stockholders dropped out un
til the Robisons were left to hold the
l>ag. Before they got tired of doing
this latter they were In something like
$75,000. Then, they concluded that
Cleveland wax ripe for major league
baseball, with
ipln«lon; -
•Detroit was on tho market, ami tb#
franchise at tills latter point \
bought at a cost of $11,000, this,
course. Including players’ contract!
The next move was to St. Louis, and
It cost them a bunch of money to get
there, even with a club In bad shapt
financially.
Such values ns Mr. Robison mention*
In connection with .the Cleveland and
Detroit teams look* almost laughable
today. »'levelund's franchise and pli
ers could probably not be secured f**'
$100,000 today, and Detroit would co*t
almost us much.
And this would not Include ground*
or Improvements of any kind. Ba
ton's National Leuguc franchise w»*
but recently sold, and the price glvra
out was something like $275,000. Tkb.
of course, Includes the Boston National
League grounds and fixtures. Ho Ur
as thq Boston players are concerned,
with but one or two exceptions, they
would not bring any kind of a price
tho open market.
Pay Big Prices.
Probably $25,000 would be a f
price to pay for the outfit, Tenney und
t’y Young No. 2 being worth over half
of that sum between them. The Bos
ton grounds w r erc at one time worth *
large sum, because tho railroads want
ed them for a yard. Since then tin
railroads have found other property
and are not In the market for the
grounds at any advance over their
market value. The latter are situated
in a manufacturing district, and the
property Is not high-priced.
The improvements on tho property
are not new' and not notably costly fcj
a ball park. Possibly the grounds and
stands an* worth $125,000. That leave*
a clear $125,000 the rnen back of the
club are paying for the privilege • '
playing. Imseball Jn Boston under Na
tional League rules.
As to running a club on a $W*
capital at present, that w'ould virtually
be ImpiMslble. Cleveland at the tin*
Mr. Robison hud the club there In tb*
American Association, was paying **
good salaries as any team In the icagu**
Yet the salary list for an entire seasa#
did not run/above $15,000. Twice that
sum might cover tho salary list »f s» n
American Association club at prerent.
and It Is probable that* some of " ie
clubs go considerably higher.
In comparison with the price of t.i«
Cleveland franchise In the America®
Association, there Is the sale of ti*«
Minneapolis franchise In that league
hut a few days ago. How much Cun-
tllllon paid for the latter club I* l \ 1
known, but the man. who bought i '**
