HIGHBALL RETIRED.
No Chance for Much-TaIked-of Nc
Chesney Match. Az

Highban, the accepted champion q
year-old of 1903 (although he didn't
win the Futurity), is soon to retire
to winter rest at Montgomery Park.
He has run his last race of the year.
The simple reason that May would
not care to wager against McChesney
of any other horse is that he has re-
tired Highball for the season.
May was recently asked by Million
aire Thomas, owner of Hermis and
others, to place his price on Highball.
Forty thousand" was Mays answer.
Thomas offered $4,000, which was re-
fused. Thereupon May hunted up the
agent of a London insurance firm that
will insure anything from a babe an
hour old to a century man or woman
(proyided the premium is paid, and
paid $1,50o for a $4,000 policy. which
insures Highball against death from
any cause.
With such policy in his pocket,
May is well guarded against total
loss in event of sudden death of the
youngster.
Highball is not in training. 1t would
be a difficult task to get him in con-
dition again at this stage of the year
after having been afforded a chance
to rest

when the score was SO to O.
Clemson's plays through tackle and
ends were marvellous and the Geor-
gia boys could not stop them. The
Georgia team failed to make any pro-
gress around Clemson's ends and the
only gains the red and black made were
through center.
Frequently throughout the game the
Georgia boys made advances and
again held back the heavy rushes of
the opposing team in great shape. Capt.
Ketron of Georgia played a star game

M0RGAN'S VISIT
MAY MEAN COLLEGE.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 10.-The visit of J.
Pierpont Morgan to the South, in com-
pany with President Samuel Spencer
and other directors of the Southern
road. is said to relate to the disposition
Of the Peabody Fund. While Mr.. Mor-
gan is coming ostensibly South. it Is
stated, with the special object to in
spect the Southern Railroad, 1t is
thought the object of the visit is to
look over the field with view to the
establishment in the South of greas
normal college.
The proposition to establish such an
Institution in the South has long been
discussed and some months ago it was
stated by one of the trustees Of the
fund that MIR. Morgan would visit the
South to look over the field. His visit
with President Spencer Is believed 10
be for this purpose.

Georgia was quick, and did some of
the best tackling ever seen on the
campus.
In the last half of the game he was
laid out by a blow received in the
stomach and had to be carried from
the field. He protested against going
out of the game and insisted on being
allowed to finish it. but the trainer
sent him to his room for a. rest He
was not hurt beyond being disabled
for several minutes.
For Clemson, Maxwell at quarter,
Harvey at full, and Sitton on one of
the ends, did the star playing. AL
though it may be said all the Clemson
players did we'll, those three men did
some fine skirting of the Georgia team,
and several long runs are marked up
to their credit. The only weak point
in the Clemson team was their fumb-
ling Of the ball. They fumbled at a
number of plays, but luckily for them
none of the fumbles were very costly.
The next game that Georgia will play
will be with Mercer.
The following was the lineup for the
game this afternoon:

BOXERS GETTING READY
FOR WEDNESDAYS BOUT.
Farren Trained Down Too Fine and
VIII Let Tn in Work.


Owing to a mistake in the sailing
time Charley Mulhall missed Fridays
boat from Philadelphia. Billy Wilson
received "a wire from him yesterday
morning, asking if he would be in time
if he left on Monday. and word WIS
sent for him to come. on.
While it would have been better for
both the club and the boxers if Null
hall was in Savannah in time to be
introduced from the ring on Wednes-
day night, so as to give the patrons a
chance Of contrasting him with Miller
and Farren, still the delay will not
amount to much. for he will soon win
himself many admirers by his quiet,
gentlemanly ways. When he enters
the ring with the winner of Wednes-
days battle on the 21st, he will have
his own little crowd of rooters to spur
MIN on, and to give him what every
boxer wants in a strange town-en-
couragement.

himself into the pink of condition, COM

ne could not get a sweat on himself
while working yesterday afternoon, and
acting on the advice of his friends a
physician was called on. After he had
given Farren a thorough examination,
the physician told him that he had
been working to hard and that he had
gotten himself so fine that he was go
ing stale, and he must lay off for a
day to give himself a chance to put
on some flesh. This advice did not
suit Farren, but he was prevailed up
on to do as the doctor ordered and
will rest all day to-day and resume
his work on Monday morning.
When this news reached Miller he
smiled and said that ''he hoped that
Farren would round too all o. K" and
then went at his afternoon work with
a relish. If he can hand Farren the
punches ne handed on the bag he GER

The first outward sign of Contagious Blood Poison
is small blister. AS the poisonous virus
spreads through the system the glands Of the groins
swell, a red eruption appears upon the body, and
ulcers and sores break out in the mouth and throat,
the hair and eyebrows drop out and the body is
covered with copper-coored spotches and sores, and
the poison even works its way into the bones and
joints and attacks the nerves.
The tmeworn remedies-Mercury and Potash-are
still used in the treatment of Contagious Blood Poison,
but the effects of these drugs upon the system are
almost as bad as the disease itself, and the best
witnesses against these remedies are those who
have used them longest. Mercury only smothers
the poison in the system, and the disease is liable to
