THIS ATLANTA GEORGIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1906. ( Tech-Vanderbilt Game Next Sporting Eventl ^Edited By PERCY H. WHITING. TECH'S NEXT ADVERSARY HAS ALL STAR CAST Football faun of Atlanta are (twalUnp eagerly ibe debut of the out* all-star foot ball cast which will visit Atlanta this K*a»fMi— the Vanderbilt team. Tlii* team meets Tech on Tech Held Saturday In a game of the greatest Im portance to the Southern football world. This Vanderbilt team Is the one which bits rolled up. IS) points on their South ern adversaries In four games, which beat tiie husky Rose Polytechnic team XI to 0. nnd which "morally defeated" the famous Michigan machine, though tbo game went t«> the Northerners by a score of 10 to 4. This f« the team likewise which will nest week measure strength with the Car lisle Indians, one of the very strongest teams in the Kant thla year. It will be worth the price of admia- ►loti Just to see the bunch. It Isn’t every day that It la possible to see In action a football team like Vanderbilt baa. lint don't let any one get away with tin* Idea that Vanderbilt Is going lo smear It' alt over the Tech team and run up any huge and Juicy score. Vanderbilt Is going to win. The football fans may as well harden tbetnaelves to that fact right now. Rut It aeema almost certain that the local players will hold the Vanderbilt men down to aa close n ►'•ore as any team In the South—closer, no doubt, than even the Rose Polytechnic did It’a going to !* a greet game all right: one of the lieat of the year. There la only one regrettable feature about the game, and that la that Van derbilt a« bndly outWelgha Tech. When a good light team goes against a bum heavy team, the light team has the bel ter chaw*, but when the heavy team Is a • wonderful football ream, likewise, then it la tough on the "little ’one." Ho there you are. Roth teams know football from the front end of the rate book to the Iasi S-yard line, and then over the goal posts, and an exhibition of real aetentlflc football can Ik* counted on with nil con- fldetiro. thut the latter will try- to make up what ever UlfTereoce there may be In walght by trick playa and speojl. Helaman'a men will find, however, that Vanderbilt i« right there "with the pep per" when It comet to nabldug trick plays. The t'ommodorea have l»eeu care fully drilled iu -handling short kicks and forward passes, and In every game they hare played they Imre got the tall from the opposing team most every time any thing fancy was attempted. 4* scramblers, the Commodore* have proved themaelrea wonders.

In consultation with the owu«v« of tho Itaitou club, with hi* usual shrewdness and buslnehs Intelligence, as well ns baseball knowledge, adjusted the affairs of the llub organisation to ibn satisfaction of all the tmrtles Interested, and brought order out of a very compli cated situation. John I. Taylor, who controlled the Bos ton elnb during the,year* of Its greatest artistic and financial successes, comes back to feta own. and will re-enter upon UU duties with reaewed energy and eothual- •MB. !e talking about bis league, just prior to hit departure for Washington, after settling the affairs of the Boston elnb. Pres ident Johnson aald: •The American League experienced the Boat successful season In its history dar ing this yatr from erery point of view, Every club made money, several showing mammoth financial Improvement over any previous year. "In New York, for Instance, every visit ing dub received for Its share or the re ceipts three timet as much ss in any scs- sou before, and nearly ovary other club showed big gains In attendance. Even In Boston, n i.ill-cml club, thn attendance showeu very little falling off. I am emi nently sathfl'xl with last season's results and tho fttt- 4 • prospects, of the league. .

The annual world's championship has developed Into speh vu*t Importance that these post-season contests are the biggest sporting events of the whole y«iar, nnd attract world-wide Interest. Conse quently, they should be played under fa vorable wentlier condition*, nnd the pres ent length- of the season doep not allow of that poMihlllty." When asked If there was c.uy possibility of Itotrolt I King supplanted by any other city. President Jobn*on said: "None la the leant. Detroit made money last season, and has very bright prospects for aext year. The Detroit* were a strong aggregation this year, and will In* much stranger next season. They will have a new and hustling* malinger in Hugh Jen- ulngf, and so will the Washingtons la Joe CsntllUon." BROOKLYN GOES TO COURT OVER BASEBALL SORROWS New York. Nov. 15.—Litigation In the New Jersey courts will follow tho annual .meeting of the Brooklyn baseball club. The faction* In tho organisation led by Charles Kbbtttt aud Edward Uattlott clash- ed, nnd some Inside baseball history Is likely to l*o told ns a result. Tho Ebbltts faction was In the majority, and votod to elect Mr. Ebbltts, his son, Charles H. Ehbttts, Jr., Henry W. Medl- cus. Albert C. Wall aud Robert A.^ Wright director# of the clol*. The last-named Is clfutnl to the phicc of tho late Harry C. Vonderltorst, of Baltimore. In casting their ballots, llaulou aud Far-- dlnaiid A. Abell voted for Hanlon. Abell and Howard Griffith*, of Jersey City. Han lon and Abell cast 1.200 shares nAl Ebbltts the remainder, or 1,251. Hanlon at once protested the election, claiming that Kb- tdtts, hi* son, and Medleus, nro not eligible n* directors for the coming year. He bases hi* claim on tho ground that they were di rector* last year, and failed to file a certificate of election with the secretary of state of New Jersey. The peualty for u failure to file such a statement la that tlio meu so elected are not eligible to election to succeed them selves until one year has elapsed from the end of their terms. Hanlon's protest was not heeded, nud .the matter will be taken Into the courts. After the meeting, Hanlon said that he had begun a suit lu the court of chancery of New Jersey to compel Charles II. Kb- Mils, the president of the club, and Henry W. Medleus, the secrotary ami treasurer, to t-cruml several thousand dollars alleged to have been drawn by them as , salaries nnd In excess of the Amount allowed by the certificate of organisation during the years 1*05 and 1906. Mr. Hanlon claim* that the salaries of th«* mwdUcui and treasurer are fixed by charter, as $4,000 and |2.000. respectively.

ID.—The Univer sity of Pennsylvania football squad of about twenty-live left this city yester day for Winslow Junction, N. J., to put on the finishing touche, for the game with Michigan on Saturday. Kvery man on the squad was In the pink of condition when the men left the city and the coaches are confident that tho players will make great progress under the bracing New Jersey air. Here the men will not he permitted to line up for any scrimmages, hut will devote their whole time to living out of door, and running through signals. Thev are By no means confident of defeating the Michigan club, but will enter the game with the same spirit which enabled them to overcome Harvard two years ago. FRANK'S HATCHET OUT NOW FOR MANAGER BILLY SMITH Special to The Georgian. Memphis, Teon., Nov. 13.—After the an nual meeting of the Southern League di rector* In Birmingham In December, Billy Smith will probably have to find a new method to get nrouuil the notary limit, ac cording to the dope eprung today by Tom McCullough, secretary and trcu*urcr of the Memphis baseball club. Tom soya the team* which will line up with Charley Frank are going to rote to amend the constitution ho that no player can he su*i pended In order to avoid the "fourteen men and $2,700 monthly salary" rule. McCullough thinks It altogether probable that the Atlanta team will make a fight for a higher limit, but at this writing every Indication Is that tho ran fority wilt vote to keep the present limit. Here I* about the way the teams will Ilue-up; For Frank: New Orleans, Memphis, Shreveport, Montgomery, Nashville nnd 'Uttle Bock. Agalust Frank: Atlauta. On the fence: Birmingham. In the "on the fence" etas* might i*os tlbly the added tho name of Montgomery, but this la hardly probabla, Iu view of the stand the directors there took lu th*« fracas last summer, when It seemed for a time that there would be decided oppo sition to the re-election of President Hav ana ugh. At thut time, tho Montgomery offi cial! came out stroog for the Judge. Jack Powell and "Red" Donohue were taken out of the box Just once lout sea- sou. Jack Cliasbro established a record in the other direction, being sent to the b»*n< l» sixteen times. Vanderbilt Is Almost Sure To Play Carlisle “Injuns” Special to The Georgian. Nashville. Tenn.. Nov. 15.—It seems well- nigh certain now that Vanderbilt will play th** Carlisle Indian* on Dudley field either on TboToday following the Tech game t.No vember 22*. or on the following Saturday, November 24. The Indian* have sigullW that they e*n ploy on one or ihe other of those dates. Vanderbilt Is more than anx ious to meet the Redskin*, and the latter seen* anxtou* to make the Southern trip. It will be their ftrat Invasion of the foot- IW! territory of the Kouth, aud Vanderbilt will endeavor to give them a warm n*vp- tton. provided the men couie out of the* Tech game In good condition.
