FAT PLAYERS FAIL
TO MAKE GOOD MEN.

Reports from nearly all the big col
leges, where the giant linemen were
coming in so fast a few days ago. in,
dictate that the masses of meat have
proven a FIAT failure. Lines are weak,
is the cry from almost every school.
The big fellows are already in the hos
pital or resting on the side lines. Their
huge muscles have proven inadequate
to the steady strain or the sudden
starts and fast exertions required in
football. They have been outrun and
outgamed by the little fellows. and
where the long lines of monsters tow
cred few days since are now broken
strings of limping players, with here
and there a little man skipping cheer
fully around amid the slain. The
giants who were imported from all
over the land won't do. and the laugh
is on the managers who hustled so
hard and spent so much coin to get
the elephants together.

better bah McGraw simply said, why
don't they convince the New York peo-
pie of that fact We get the crowds
At that time McGraW little saw the
flood of protests that would go up
against his refusal to meet the Ameri-
cans. Now that he has made the state
meut that he did not want to play
the Americans, simply because of a
dislike for Johnson, people are begin
ming to think that really McGraw's
keen business sagacity has suggested
TO him that there is a possibility, and
even a probability, that his team will
be defeated, and the box Office will suf-
fer much i'm consequences.
Several of the New York papers have
commenced a daily publication of let
ters of protests from patrons of the
game at McGraW's refusal to play the
Americans.
Announcements have been made that
MCGraw would give way in the face
Of the strong pressure brought to bear
on him. but those who know him best
say not lie has steadily chung to his
position, and it is safe to predict that
if there is a post season series between
the American League pennant winners
and the Giants it will not be under the
management or sanction of Manager
MCGraW or Mr.. Brush.

McGRAW SAYS HE WON'T PLAY
AMERICAN TEAM, AND HE WONT
Giants Scrappy Manager Has as Much Backbone
as the Others

When Manager J. J. McGraw Of the
New York champion Giants was in Sa-
vannah last spring, putting on the
touches that have won the pennant for
the New York club in the National
League, he stated positively to the
writer that he would not play the
American League club in the event 1t
won the pennant under any circum-
stances.
At that time McGraw gave a reason
for not playing the Americans totally
at variance with others that have been
credited to him since then. When ask
ed if he would play the Highlanders
in the event they won the pennant in
the American League, he said positive
ly that he would not play them a
series of games.
He stated that the Americans were
simply looking for an advertisement.
and that they had just about as much
chance to get it by playing the Giants
as they had to fly When told Of

Americans were stronger and played

Cincinnati. Sept. 3O-The feature of
to-day's Grand Circuit racing at Oak
ley Park was Major Delmar's attempt
TO break the worlds trottng record

makers in front or side, held by
Cresceus and Major Delmar Major
Delmar has a record of 1:59A, trotted
with the wind shield and pacemakers
in front and side, but this is not rec
ognized as a worlds record by the
Trotting Association. Both Cresceus
and Major Delmar made the 2:02A
record paced by a running horse only.
Although the weather conditions
were not very favorable for a trial of
this kind, the celebrated horse equalled
the worlds record. Summaries:

AT THE THEATER

THE Liberty Bellies" was witnessed
by a crowded house last night, attest
ing that light musical comedies are
still in popular favor in Savannah.
There was much lacking in the pre-
sentation of the piece, which under the
guidance of the cleverest artists, is not
above mediocre. Indeed Mr.. Harry
Smith has not staked his reputation as
librettist and composer on THE Lib
erty Bellies" and its success has been
dependent on its setting, which may
account for the hardness of managers
in venturing with it on the road.
What the piece lacked in musical ex-
cellenee and sparkling lines were not
provided for by the esprit de corps of
the presenting company. There was
an absence of that f1z that is essential
to the flavor in light musical produc-
tons, and the general effect and idea
of the composer were not carried along
with that freedom of action and Vigor
of voice which makes or mars.
Miss Lottie Stavely as Margery Lee,
and Miss Annie Stuart as Dorothy
Grey were good in their lines, but for
tunately had little singing to do. Mem
bers of the chorus were put forward in
several instances. The chorus was
small but well drilled. the male por-
ton being limited to three.

The George Brennan Amusement
Company. which has the exclusive con-
troll of Candida" on tour this season,
looked long and discernedly over the
entire list of available talent before
deciding on a man for the part of Eu-
gene Marchbanks, the youthful poet.
This strikingly original character,
which George Bernard Shaw has en-
dowed with transcendent idealism,
whimsical fancy and perplexing va
carries, made the task a difficult one;
but a careful consideration of the
abilities and stage career of Lester
Lonergan led to his selection from
scores of candidates.
Candida" will be the attraction to-
day matinee and night. 1t will be the
first performance in this city of the
famous Shaw comedy. Matinee prices
are: Orchestra, IS and SOC; balcony,
adults, soc; children, 25c admission.
Night prices are: Orchestra, 81 so and

A Charleston dispatch from the

one of absorbing interest and many
who attended the first performance
were seen again at the subsequent
