SCHOLASTIC YEAR BEGINS.
University Session of 10ol-2 Opens
Under Favorable Auspices.

Athens, Ga, Sept. 1S.--The session of
1902 Of the University of Georgia has
begun. Prospects are good for a sue
cessfuI year. The attendance is about
normal though there will be con-
siderable dropping off in the freshman
class owing TO the fact that a great
many of the new men will endeaVor TO
enter sophomore. The students have
been arriving sooner this year than
usual. most of the men being fraternity
men or those who desired to stand ex-
aminations which have been con-
Quoted for the past week. Owing to
change in the law department from
one to a two years course that class
will not have as many matrlculates as
usual but those who attend this term
will return next fall, and they to-
gether with new men, will probably
bring the attendance on that Depart
ment we'll up to the average.
Many needed Improvements nave
been made on the campus, and every
thing done for the accommodation OF
students.
The prospects for winning football
team are bright Nearly all of the old
PLAYERS returned and much good
material has been already found among
the new men, Coach W. A. Reynolds
of Wilkes barre, Pa, who coached the
University of North Carolina team sue
cessfully for two seasons, is in charge
of the team. The material at hand is
rather light, as an average, but the
coach has expressed himself as well
pleased with the outlook The candi-
dates tWenty-three in number, are all
staying at the same place, the victoria
Hotel, where the training table Is
located The team has been pracuclng
for ten days. A successor TO Manager
Harold Hirsch, who will not return TO
college, will be elected at once.
A change has been made in the uni
forms of the cadets. Though it is gen
orally accepted as a radical improve
nnent. the BOYS do not take kindly to
the innovation.
Quite a number of students from
other colleges in the state have entered
the university. Those in authority say
that it shows how generally felt is the
influence of the university under the
administration of Chancellor Walter b.
Hin. and say, further, that they con-
slider il an endorsement of his methods

BASEBALL WRANGLE.
Southern League Game at Little
Rock Breaks Up in n Row.


Rock Breaks Up in n Row.
Little Rock, Ark. Sept 1S.-The
scheduled double game between the
Little Rock and Nashville teams of the
Southern League broke up in a. row this
afternoon and resulted in the arrest of
Umpire John f. tombstone and First
Baseman George Wright of the local
club. Wright was bailed out within an
hour, but tombstone was refused bail
until tonight on account of the fear Of
danger to him from the excited popu
lace which surrounded the Jail to the
number of 500 yelling for chance to
get at him.
Nashville and Little Rock are neck
and neck in the fight for the pennant,
and there was considerable dissatis-
faction expressed Monday when Umpire
tombstone arrived with the Nashville
team to umpire the series, succeeding
James Murray. Murray went on to
umpire that day and declared the game
forfeited to Little Rock, as Nashville
refused to play unless tombstone UNI
pired. Yesterdays game was played to
tie. tombstone had received instruc-
tons to umpire the game, but the
crowd was not satisfied. To-day
trouble arose over Nashville announc-
| ing that Bailey, who had been the crack
pitcher for Selma until Saturday would
pitch. Little Rock protested, but john
stone claimed he had permit from
| President Nicklin.
When Little Rock went to bat Bal
| ley walked to the box over Little
Rocks protest. Crozier of Little Rock
was on second when Martin singled
| and Crozier attempted to score. The
ball got to the plate just as Crozier
| did and Catcher Fisher swung at him
and apparently missed him, but the
umpire called Crozier out. First Base
man Wright, who was sitting on the
| bench. ran into the diamond and
knocked tombstone down. When the
umpire got up. it is alleged, he at
tempted to strike Wright. Policemen
ran to the diamond and placed John
stone under arrest. Wright was also
arrested, and both were taken to the
city Jail. Nashville refused to con-
tinue the game unless tombstone UNI
| pired. Meanwhile the crowd of 5000
clamored for game. Then Mayor Du-
ley addressed the crowd, saying he
deemed it best that tombstone and
Wright be taken to Jail.
tombstone was released tonight or
a bond signed by officers of the Lit
tie Rock Baseball Association. He
| has declared both games set for to-
day forfeited to Nashville, because he
was removed from the ball parI
| against his will.

All day to-day free sample packages of
the celebrated "Schiffmann's Asthma
Cure" Will be given away at w. o. CUP
bedge's drug store, Ill Barnard street.
The doctor wants every sufferer from
Asthma, Hay Fever or Bronchitis IN
this city to call and get one. When
asked regarding his reasons for giving
his remedy away in this manner, he
said: People are naturally skeptical
about an asthma remedy, and when you
consider the number of so-called
cures on the market you can hardly
blame them. Now | claim that my
Cure cures. 1t will instantly relieve the
most violent attack. 1t has perma-
nently cured thousands who had been
considered incurable. If l did not be-
lieve it, why should / be giving it
away?' The sufferer who gets a sam
pie package can tell in two minutes
whether it is as l represent II, and 1t
does not cost him cent That is fair,
isn't it?"
1t certainly does not look as if any
thing could be fairer. Those living out
of town can get a free sample by writ
