LINEUP TO-DAY.

Teasing, coaxing and finally scolding
the great human engine to still fur

great battle the little tow-headed gen

tanned more results at last nights final
preparatory exercise yet brought out
at one practice.
To-day the results of these tedious
hours of hard labor, these neVer-ceas-
ing charges against an imaginary foe,
and these careful lessons gone through
under the ferret eye OF Cope will be
measured against the hammer-and-
tongs tactics of the Orange and Black
Outpointed everywhere except in skill
and endurance, Savannah will face the
heavier Jacksonville line with odds in
the betting against the sombre coiors
of the metropolis of Flowerland.
Despite the importation of a number
of college formerly Were stars, and
the excess in avoirdupois, in the bet
ting Jacksonville is at the small END
and odds of to were freely offered
last night, without a taker. At these
odds there is plenty of Savannah money
floating around, and if reports of the
financial condition of the visitors be
true. with their intent to bet, great
Jumps of the soft will be wagered THIS
morning.
Jays Arrived Last Night.
The Jays arrived last night, seven
teen strong, headed by Bill Jones and
Tom Dozier. Tom wore the same old
smile and Bill was unusually argumen-
tative over the great possibilities of his
eleven. All who have seen Jones play
here during former games know that
he is the most dangerous man on the
Jacksonville line up. He was not with
the team which Savannah rolled over
last season.
Tom Dozier is not a football expert,
but he has the Jacksonville spirit and
says there is no doubt Of the Orange
and Black floating triumphant this
trip. 1--WE have the best team of for
ward passers and off-side players

robustness, Hand I believe they will be
able to redeem Jacksonville's football
reputation Tom really meant this as
a compliment to two of the many vir-
tues of the men.
Thought Null Was Jones.
When the Jacksonville boys were
awakened at the Union Station last
night to leave the train, some of them
caught sight of Dominick Mullaney in
blue overalls and trainman's cap, Just
disappearing around a curve, between
two red lights, attached to the tail
end of an outgoing freight train. There
was wild rush from the passenger
train, and in a few minutes the en-
tire Jay eleven was in full pursuit of
the freight, believing that Jones was
on board and that they had all missed
connections. Jones is a dead ringer
for Null.
In all seriousness. the team which
Jacksonville sends up against Savan-
