NOTED BALL PITCHER
JOINED THE ARMY

Richard H. Garvin of Chicago, a
Yale College graduate and brother of
Virgil Garvin, the famous left-hand-
ed pitcher and heir to fortune esti-
mated at over 100000, arrived in the
Columbus Barracks at Chicago yester-

money, he stated, and wants to lead a
soldiers life for three years. Garvin
was a start pitcher in Yale and pitch
ed for the Trenton IN. j. team Thurs
day last against the New York Ma
tional League team, allowing them but
three hits.

sign a contract. Garvin also played in
Milwaukee.

VETERANS OF MANY VICTORIOUS
BATTLES ON THE GRIDIRON

ever made a dash down the checker
board, an1 as Splinter, he is unsur-
passed. Harmon is among the new re-
cruits on the team.
Another valuable addition to the team
is Mcneil, former captain of Washing
ton-Lee University team. Mcneil is
of powerful build, and is one of the
best football generals that has ever
lined up with the Savannah team. He
will probably be assigned to the line.
Frank McIntire has shown up strong
er and faster than ever, and combined
with his aggressive style of play, is a
thorough knowledge of the game, and
all of the technicalities of play and
ruling. He was also one of the star
men on last years university team.
OF the old members of the team who
have again donned the uniform all Sa-
vannah knows. They have been tried
and have never been found lacking in
football prowess. Time and again they
stood with battered line against the
terrific assaults of heavy masses of
bone and muscle with never a culver.
Stout of heart and strong of arm they
have fought their way from the very
shadow of their goal back across the
field with tiger like ferocity until the
pigskin was planted firmly behind the
goal line of their opponents. They are
the backbone to the team, and it is
upon them that will fall the brunt of
battle OF these NAV be named
Hicks, Levy, Johnson, Rossiter, Gus
Smith, Nose Smith, Cope, Sullivan and
Colquitt.
Neyle ColQuitt is among the new re-
cruits on the team, and in the pre-
liminary practices he has shown the
same power and endurance that en-
HI L. -
tercollegiate mile running record five
years ago, which has never been
equalled. Colquitt will be one of the
men used behind the line, possibly at
half.
The following candidates are most
conspicuous in the practices that have
taken place: Center, Futch, Hicks, and
Levy; guards, Mcneil, Levey, and
Hicks; tackle, Rossiter, Harper t.,
Rossignol, Emory. and Greene; end,
Lansberg, G. Smith. Harmon, West
colt; quarterback, Capt Cope; half
back, Harmon, Sullivan, Colquitt, Har-
ris; full back. McIntire.
Until further notice the practices will
take place on Tuesday and Thursday
nights in the drill yard of the First
Regiment. Heretofore the small boys
that have congregated to witness the
practices have seriously interfered with
the men in their work. These young
sters gather close up and try to catch
the signals. Hereafter they will not
be permitted to go inside the practice
grounds, and parents are requested to
keep them away.
1t is not yet known whether or not
the Jacksonville team will come here
for the game on Nov. 3. If they do
not come, it is hardly probable that
this team will be given date this sea-
son.
1t is almost assured now that the
Georgia team will come down on Nov.
IA, and will prove one of the greatest
drawing cards ever seen here.

GEORGIA TRIUMPHED
RED AND BLACK BORNE TO A GLo-
RIOUS VICTORY.
TECHS WERE NEVER IN 1T.
STONE WALL OF GEORGIA's LINE
HELD BLACkSMITH'S FIRM.

Play Was Spectacular at Times, But
There Was Also Intervals of Slug
gishness on Both Sides-GeOrgin
Rushed the Ball Down the Field
as Did the Clemson Tigers, ScOr-
ing 3S POints-Blncksmith Never
Reached the Goal.
Atlanta, Oct. 24.-Georgia, IS; Tech,
0. Another crushing disastrous defeat
for Tech. This time at the hands of
Georgia, and with this defeat and vic
tory goes the championship of the state.
Intent upon winning themselves, the
blacksmiths came a little nearer the
goal line of their antagonists than
they did in the game with Clemson.
With a series or irresistible rushes
which at times reminded the observer
of the work of the Clemson Tigers,
the Georgia team took the ball up and
down the gridiron, making repeated
gains with startling and unexpected
frequency, absolutely surprising their
Atlanta friends by the work they ac-
complished.
IL ID HOL 10 De supposed however,
that the work of the Georgia team was
faultless or that their eleven has a
sure thing in the Thanksgiving game
with their greatest opponent. Auburn.
In fact, there are faults in their play
which if not eliminated will ruin their
chances to make a good record this
fall and will prevent them from show
ing up we'll against a first rate ag-
gressive team from some other col
lege.
The men were disposed to loaf and
showed this tendency upon numerous
occasions. At times their play resem-
bled that of Clemson, at other times
the work was slow, ragged and life
less. Instead of keeping up an agrees
sive, steady, hit, smash, crash game,
the red and black would send some
man around the end for twenty yards
and then some one of the players would
call the men behind the line for pri-
Vate conversation before giving the
signal. Life, ginger and action is what
the team needs. Grantland Rice acted
as umpire, Butler of Augusta as referee
and Manly as head linesman. The
lineup was:

lille Team VIII Come Here on
Nov. 3-Georgia Game Is Assured.
The preliminary practices of the
football team that will represent Sa-
vannah on the gridiron this season has
daveloped one fact-that, though light
habind the line, the team is one of the
tos+est ever assembled here, and has
n,ore intelligent class of players than
rsuallv fails to the lot of city teams.
Practices that have been engaged in
en- far have been purely preliminary.
The men have ben taught the signals,
carnations and trick plays. and so far
vsrv little of the effectiveness of the
team in offensive play can be deter
mined. Tests of offensive and defen-
siva work will be made within the next
,,.aal when the team will line up
ogainst scrubs, and if the ensemble is
&c effective as the individuals have
nroven in past contests there will be
little fear that Savannah's unbroken
r.oord will be successfully defended.
With star ex-captains of some of the
hest college football teams ever placed
IN q gridiron in the South exerting
everv effort to make good on the team,
there is little to be said concerning the
material at hand for a team.
Cant. Harris Cope, who for two years
,ed the Sewanee braves to victory as
cantain, will be in undisputed posses
sion Of quarter back, and if the result
of every game we're to be left entirely
IN his hands. there would be but little
fear that all that was possible to be
done would be done.
Birdie Sullivan, who for two seasons
shone conspicuously as the star end
and half back of the Tech team, Is
again in the game.
Weyman Harmon, whose playing on
last years University team was the
most brilliant ever witnessed, in sup
mort of the red and black, is one of
fhe fast men behind the line who will
give 70 end of trouble to contesting
teams. Harmon has the reputation OF
being one of the cleverest dodgers who

FOOTBALLS NEWEST PERIL.

1t is obvious that new peril has
been added to the already sufficiently
strenuous game of college football
Hitherto the dangers of the sport have
been confined to such trifies as broken
limbs or physical collapse, induced by
over-exertion of the heart. OF these
ailments the players were naturally
the victims. But now the coaches of
Harvards team, and notably the head
coach, Mr.. Cranston, have been pros
trated by too vehement use of their
voices in a practice game. and Mr..
Cranston himself is in a state which
awakens the gravest fears as to the
outcome of approaching games.

WILL REGAIN MEET FORBES?

Sporting Men Are Anxious to See
Offer From Chicago Accepted.
Johnny Regain, the Brooklyn ban
tamweight, who is reported to have had
the best of a twenty-round draw with
Champion frankie Neil recently, has
been offered a match with Harry
Forbes of Chicago. who lost the title
to Neil.
Many sporting men are anxious to
see Neil and Regain meet in a third
match. the first having been won by
the Chicago boy on a foul, and as
Forbes has a decision over Regain, the
fistic enthusiasts of the West count
upon him repeating the trick, thereby
disposing of Regans claims for an
other bout and insuring a third meet

THE New ENVELOPE. - The new
stamped envelope that has been under
preparation for several months is now
being distributed throughout the country.
The envelope is in four denominations,
one, two, four and five-cent. The change
is marked, and the officials of the Post
Office Department regard it as a great
improvement over the old envelope. The
stamps on all the envelopes are different
shapes. The one-cent envelope has a
green stamp in the form of perfect cir
Gle about an inch in diameter. The
bust of Franklin in white is the central
figure. The two-cent stamp is oval in
shape. 1t is brick red and bears the
bust of Washington in white. This
stamp is about one and one-fourth by
one inch in size. The stamp on the
four-cent envelope is about one and one
fourth inches square and is brown. 1t
bears the portrait of General Grant in
white. The 6ve-cent stamp is shaped
like an ellipse. 1t is blue and bears the
nortrait of Lincoln in white. The por'
traits on all the stamps are busts and are
embossed on the envelope. The stamps
are all larger than those used at present
excent the one and five-cent varieties,
and have less decoration.
