14 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMB ER 28, 1906. With Thursday's Games Football Season Ends ^Edited By PERCY H. WHITING. miwsrSmvrEws By PERCY H. WHITING. SportioK writers of the North, and Home of tile middle West, such as Sheridan, of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, have decided ou the evidence of the recent Michigan-Pennsylvania and Carlisle- Minnesott games that the East is playing football which in infin itely superior to that of the West. It seems, however, as though the evidence so far presented is insufficient to secure a conviction. L Pennsylvania of '04 had beaten ( Michigun of the same year, or if they had done the same trick to Chicago .last year, or if they had ever shown a willingness to.tackle a really first class Western team, those of us who do not Happen t<. he living in either the North or the East just ut present, beg to be excused for considering that we have not yet been “shown.” That Vanderbilt game must he a hard pill for those Eastern and Northern dopesters to awall.w, l-’act is, some of them have not swallowed - .Vet. Some of thi! New York .jiers did not even print the score of the game. If they will ho kind enough to give Vanderbilt a game with one of the'big Eastern teams next year nmyfci* something will drop up that way. Here’s hoping. The new rules are cutting more figure at the end of the sea son than they did at. the start. When the season opened it was the straight, old-fashioned game all the way. As the teams per fected the forward puss and the on-side kick, however ,they be gan to use them more nnd more, and in the last games of the season—when it is no longer worth while to keep any seerets— they will undoubtedly he used even more than ever before. Rpeeltil to The Georgian Little ltork, Nov. 28.—-The Oates of the nnntinl meeting of the Southern League, which will he held at ItlrniliiKhnni, have been changed from December 14-15 to De cember 21-22. The change was made by President Knvn- nnugh, with the consent of the clubs, to accommodate tho Atlanta club representa tives, some of whom could not Imre been present on the 14th nnd 15th. Tho. board of directors will’meet Decem ber 21 and the regular annual meeting will be held the neat day. The aalary limit will I**,one of the mat ters which will come up at t the meeting. President Knvanaugh said today tlmt he thought the.limit of $2,700 during tho past season had proved Just and equitable. “We had aome little trouble with It and there were a few Inequalities," he snJd. “but at, the Birmingham meeting I will make recommendatlona to cover the defects that we discovered durlug the past season." Reports of officers and the board of di rectors will - be made and thero will be a general discussion as to winding up the af* fulrs of the league for thu 1905 season. The pennant for 1908 will be awarded to Birmingham. There Is still pending the clalin of the New Orleans club against the Atlanta club foi* $300 for alleged forfeiture of a game durlug the agitation nnent the so-called rubber balls, and New Orleans also has a claim of $100 against Montgomery for alleged tampering with Player Holly iH-fore the opening of the season. It Is not likely that Atlauta'n charges against the New Orleans club, alleging the use of rub bor balls, will be pressed, ns Lowry Arnold announced before the close, of the seaion that he would withdraw the charges. The election of officers for tbo 1907 season will also he held at the Birmingham meeting. A. A. C. ’s New Prosessional Has Arrived in Atlanta Jake Morse Dispenses Dope From Frozen Major Leagues Boston. Nov. 28.—There has been a It real deal of discussion about the opeti- I lng of the playing season. Now that the foul strike Is no longer discussed and all the clubs of the American League ure resigned to It, attention Is paid to the date of tho opening of the 'season. Ah usual, tlm National League pre fer* the early opening—say, Thursday, April 11—while the American league 'inclines to Sunday, April 14, as tho I aliening. It Is safe to predict that Thursday, the llth, will be the open ing day In both organisations, and that Ithe campaign will extend to Hunday, October C. There Is no reason why tho world's series should Influence tho dates. The conditions of the opening game of the championship were about as bud as they could very well be, and the last day was the best In tho'whole series. A general Interchange of games between the clubs of the two major leagues would meet with little favor. The two clubs In Chicago, 8t. Louis and Philadelphia generally play togeth er, but there Is little Interest here un less tho clubs both stand high In their respective organisations. Tho expenses would be out of all proportion to the receipts In many cases, and again the weather conditions In the East are lia ble to be extremely adverse, and in that case the patronage woftld not be at all alarming. Alexander Smith. America's premier golfer, arrived in Atlanta Tuesday and will at once, take charge of the Atlanta | Athletic Club's course at East Lake, I Mr. Smith had an unfortunate acci dent Just before be left New York, which will keep him from playing his best game for some little time to come. At the Nassuu County Club, where he Is golf professional during the season in the East, Ji® tried to P ,a >’ K Qussh without donning the conventional rub ber-soled shoes. As a result he took u bad fall and wrenched himself badly, lie has been. troubled with Internal bleedings In consequence and was in a serious condition for a while, but Is better now. Mr. Hmlth will go over the course for the first time Wednesday afternoon. Alex Findley, golfer and representa tive of a Boston sporting goods firm, was In Atlanta yesterday. Inspected the local golf course and then gave his opinion to George Adair, president of the club. Mr. Findley’s opinion Is that the course Is too long and advises that some of the Inst nine holes be cut down a trifle. Otherwise he was enthusi astic over the prospect of a great course there. lie aayii that beyond any question the course, Including the putting greens, will bo ready for the Houthern cham pionship next June and paid a high tribute to the abilities of Superintend ent Picketing, who has had the course In charge and who will continue to look after It this winter.
