COLLEGES GETTING READY
FOR FOOTBALL.

Another fortnight will see the foot
ball season in full blast so far as the
big colleges are concerned. While it is
true that some desultory training has
been INDUCED in by the candidates of
Columbia and Pennsylvania, no real
hard work has been done. In fact, the
thermometer is still a trifie too high
for the candidates to line up for real
tuSSle in the line.
The various coaches and captains
have been paying more attention to
the study of the possibilities of the
game under the new rules than in a
search for good material. They will
soon begin, however, to test the green
material in search for good players
to fill the gaps in the teams made by
men leaving college.
A score of QuakerS have been doing
light training at Beach Haven, n. j..
Capt. Metzger is somewhat reticent on
the prospects of the Pennsylvania
team this year, but Coach Carl Will
liams has not hesitated to say that
the Philadelphia college will have
strong and heavy team on the grid
iron, or "checkerboard," this season.
Yost, the Michigan coach, and other
football experts who have watched
the work of the Quakers at Beach Ha-
ven predict that Old Penn will give
Harvard a lot of trouble to beat her
this year.
Capt. Rafferty, of Yale will summon
his men for their first day of practice
on Sept. IA. The New Haven team has
lost few men by graduation, and even
if she had it would make little differ
| ence, for there is a host of good mate
rial in the incoming class. Walter
Camp and Capt. Rafferty, have been
in daily consultation for more than a
week discussing the new rules. They
recognize that much is expected of
! Yale in the devising of new plays this
year. which fact is giving them a great
| deal of concern.
This is especially true of Mr.. Camp,
| who has big reputation to sustain as
a football strategist.
Capt Carl Marshall will start the
Harvard candidates to work on Sept.
| II. Crimson's poor luck on the gridiron
last year has had the usual effect of
keeping away good football material
Marshall has looked carefully over the
! freshmen and says that he sees very
little to encourage him. The back field
of the Crimson team has gone to
J pieces. In fact, Marshall himself, who
plays quarterback. is the only one of
last years back field to return to col
lege.
Halfbacks and fullbacks are ex-
tremely hard to develop, and Marshall
will have a hard time right at the start
to find suitable men for these posi-
tons. MarshalIs only consolation will
be the large number of candidates for
the Crimson eleven this year, al
though there are probably very few
embryo stars among them.
The Princeton candidates will not
get TO work until Sept p. While this
may look as though the Tigers were
not very ambitious TO develop n cham
pionship team this year, it is by no
| means so.

FARREN CLAIMS
CHAMPIONSHIP HoN0RS.

There has been in Savannah for the
last three weeks the legitimate light
weight champion of England in the
person of Billy Farren. This fact
came to light yesterday.
After the work was over in the
club house where Farren is training,
Farren, who is an excellent story
teller, and who whites away his time
i'm the gymnasium by telling stories of
the different men he has met, Farren
said: You fellows never knew that
l am the legitimate lightweight cham
pion of England, did you? Well, / am.
This fellow Jim Maloney, who is now
called the champion of England is a
potter and when l was doing so well
in Trenton about four years ago was
brought over from England by some
of the potters of Trenton to give me
a beating. At that time l had won
over ten battles in Trenton. all by
knocking the other fellows out, and
was a favorite in the betting. The
town of Trenton is full of pot
teries, and most of the men who
work there are EnSlishmen and they
figured that if they brought over Ma
loney and he beat me they could clean
up enough to repay them for their

do the job quickly.
The first round he out-punched me
three to one, and just as the bell rang
for the beginning of the second round
he ran across the ring and just as l
was about to get up caught me a right
hand punch on the jaw and knocked
me back in the chair. l struggled to
my feet and tried to clinch him, but
he hit me a left-hand hook punch on
the jaw, and down l went for the
count. He had me all in, but l man.

Mt Columbus.

Columbus. Ga. Sept. 9.-Application
for charter for the Reliance Ware
house Company, the incorporators be-
ing G. Gunby Jordan, ]. D. Massey
and C. L. Pearce, officials of the Eagle

the privilege of issuing 100000 of de-
benture stock or certificate of indebted

a charter to-day, the incorporators be-
ing G. Gunby Jordan Ralph Curds
Jordan and o. S. Jordan. The capital
stock will be 100000, with the privi-
lege of increasing it to 100000. In

THRASH WAS ON TRIAL.
Sensational Case Was Heard in the
City Court at BainbridGe.

City Court at Ba1nDrluSe.
cambridge, Ca, Sept 9.-One of the
most sensational trials that has ever
come before a Decatur county court
of Justice was that of the state
against w. H. Thrash for adultery
tried in the City Court to-day before
Judge B. B. Bower. Thrash was an
engineer in the employ of the Georgia,
Florida and Alabama Railroad until
several weeks ago, when he eloped
with the wife of J. H. Evans, foreman
of the Georgia, Florida and Alabama
Railroad shops in this city, and with
whose family Thrash had been on in
innate terms for years.
The trial consumed the entire day
and much interesting testimony was
introduced. Mrs. Evans was accom-
panied during the trial by her sister,
and at times broke into sobbing that
was audible over the entire room. Es-
pecially was this true when her young
son was put upon the stand to testi-
fly against his mother.
This was probably one of the most
touching scenes ever presented to a
Decatur county jury and upon the tes~
timony of young Evans, the case of
the state was based.
Co. r. G. Hatfield, attorney for the
state, opened the argument and dwelt
mostly on the damaging evidence of
the letters that had passed between
Thrash and Mrs. Evans for the past
year and endeavored to show that more
than friendly relations existed be-
tween the authors of these letters.
Hon. w. D. Sheffield and B. B. Bower,
Jr., respectively addressed the jury
with an appeal to protect the honor
and character of a woman who in
their opinion, had not been proven
guilty, and begged the jury not to
establish a precedent in Georgia of a
son being domineered by father into
giving damaging testimony against his
mother. They requested the jury to
ignore the boys testimony on account
of his youth and considering he had
been in the custody of the father and
could, therefore, be induced to give
testimony that was not entirely true.
Col NJ. w. Harrel, another attor-
ney for the state, closed for the state
The case went to the jury at about
7:3O O'Clock. Then it was instructed to
return a sealed verdict, which will
be opened in the morning. The de-
cision of the jury is awaited with
much Impotence by the public.

swainsboro's Good Team.

Swainsboro, Ga, Sept. 9.-The
Swainsboro ball team closed the season
Monday, defeating the team from
Graymont and Summit by a score of
q to 3. Pitcher Bishop of the SWANS
boro team did remarkable work, strik-
ing out sixteen men and giving up only
two hits. Swainsboro has had a fast
team this year and has been defeated
only about three times out of about
fifteen games. The battery work of Q.
7. Bishop and DR.. w. B. Nell has been
exceptionally good all through the sea-
son, and they are considered one of the
strongest ameteur batteries in South
Georgia.

Swainsboro, Ca, Sept. 9.--The CAL
vim vagrancy law has had its effect in
this vicinity and especially at this
place. Numbers of arrests have been
made and several convictions have fol-
lowed.
The farmers have little trouble in
securing hands to work in the cotton
fields. Heretofore they have had trou-
BILE in getting labor, but since the en-
forcement of the new law they have
been eagerly sought by negroes want
ing work. Swainsboro has always been
the victim OF a loafepS gang, but Of
late they have all left town and now
only a few can be found. There can
be no doubt about the fact that II has
a good effect on the town.

Batesbucg Notes.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Our community was painfully sur
prised Friday by the announcement
of the sudden death of A. j. Boat
wright, at his home near here. Ooe
of our kest men and most useful
citizens has been called TO his reward.
Dlfident and retiring, though he was,
still those who knew him Intimately,
recognized his true worth. He follow
ed the misfortunes of the South in
the great war, was severely wounded,
but recovered and since then has
been engaged mostly in teaching in
the public schools. He was buried
Saturday afternoon by the Masonic
fraternity in the resting place Of his
father and mother, who had gone
before by a number of years.
The closing exercises of the Insti-
tute were held on Friday night. Con-
gressman Lever was to have made
the speech, but probably owing to
some Misunderstanding of dates, he
failed to come.
Prof. Major and Misses Hill and
Grassland were reelected for the
ensuing term. The school is i'll q
Aourishing condition and growing
rapidly.
Doctor E. G Ridgell, chairman of
the board of trustees, made the con-
elud'ng speech. He complimented
all concerned and made sons humor-
Gus illusions to the matrimonial pros.
poets Of the staff, as we'll as the
recent occurrences in that line. Our
townsman, Hon. John Bell Towill,
was substituted for the baby Con-
gressman and the Colonel sustained
his rep as an impromptu speaker to
the satisfaction of all present.
The Landscape gardeners for the
Tourist Hotel are al work on the
grounds. 1t is to be presumed they
will make an exceedingly attractive
place. The building will 60 up
later and by the time the season
opens all will be in order. j. Willie
Mitchell is the General Manager of
the business now, but the work is
being done by skilled artisans from
