Colleges VIII Patch
Up Their Differences
BY PERCY n WHITING.

Atlanta, September 25.-(Special. 1.-The
between the University of Georgia and
the Georgia School of Technology teams
will be mended at the close of this school
year. 1t will hardly be patched up in
time to make possible football games
this fall, but next spring the two teams
will resume their interrupted series Of
annual games of baseball and they will
clash in football next fall.
No formal announcements have been
made but the Tech athletic authorities
have announced their willingness to meet
Georgia again and the willingness has al
ways existed on Georgias part.
The break between the two Georgia
colleges came after the most strenuous
athletic doings ever tucked into any one
year by any two teams. In the spring
of 1907 the Tech and Georgia teams met

ership of the Georgia college champion

of the series and refused to play the

man, in the emi-final contest.
There was a warm row over this, but

M'LAURIN SAYS HE
is OUT OF POLITICS
HE DECLINES TO MAKE A FORMAL
STATEMENT IN REPLY TO w. r.
HEARST-HE is AGAINST BRYAN
AND FOR MR.. ROOSEVELT.

Bennettsville, S. c., September 25.-When
seen here tonight former Senator Nc
Laurin said that he did not feel called
upon to issue any formal statement as TO
the correspondence between himself and
John d. Archbold, read by w. R. Hearst
last night. AS to the letter of introduce
ton to Eldridge, Senator McLaurin said
that as president of the Brunswick and
Birmingham railway he sought an intro
duction to Mr.. Eldridge of the Knicker-
booker Trust company, as that institu-
ton was the trustee of the bonds of the
railroad.
Mr. McLaurin has been out of politics
since he declined to stand for reelection
in the democratic primaries in 1902. He
is taking no part in the present cam
paign. He was opposed to the nomination
of Bryan. He has always been an ad-
mirer of President Roosevelt and said in
an interview some time ago that Roose-
welt ought to be unanimously reelected
by all parties

New York, September 25-The Cincln-

Polo grounds today two of New York
new pitchers and gave the Local clup
double-headed setback. which, with the
other results of the day, leaves New york
but a single point of margin pennant-

less to keep down the visitors lists Oh
runs were Marquard, the acquisition from
the indianapolis club, who was retlreo
from the box in the fifth inning OF the
first game after five runs had been scored
bv Cincinnati. and Durham. whose first
work in the box was of good quality, but
who soon lost effectiveness and was re-
leved in the eighth by Tayl )r, after two
more runs had been scored by the Wis

New York, September 25.-(Special)-
The whole complexion of the National
league pennant race was changed yester-
day when the proud Giants were twice
humbled by the despised Cincinnati Reds,
and as a result of the double defeat and
the four previously suffered at the hands
of Pittsburg and Chicago, McGraw's men
are now leading the hunt by only one
point. Only six points separate the first
and third clubs.
Instead of having the walk-over they
expected, therefore, the Giants are now
confronted with the necessity of taking
an immediate brace to avoid being ousted
from first place, for another loss for Nc
Graw's men will put both Chicago and
Pittsburg in the lead.
While their lead has dwindled to al
most nothing, however. McGraw and his
men show no signs of giving up. They
declare that they will take the next two
games from the Reds and retain first
an even break with Cincinnati will just
put the Giants on a macadamized high
way to F'lagtown. The present condition
of the local twirling department means
that the McGrawites have to swing their
willows more effectively against the slab
artists of the Reds than the latter S
stickmen can do. Durham and Marquard
are now exploded phenoms, while Wiltse
showed in the last game that he pitched
that he was far from his best form.
A comparison of the respective ability
of the Giants and Cubs in the field and
at the bat is most timely. The latest I'M
official statistics show that the state
ments that the local team has been able
to Glib to its present height through its
ability with the stick and not by field
ing are not made without foundation. On
the other hand, the Chicagos are not far
behind in this department, while they
hold safe margin over the McGrawites

Points.

New York September 25-President
Harry C. Pulliam of the National league
issued a statement this afternoon clarity
ing the situation regarding the celebrated
game of Wednesday between the New
York and Chicago baseball clubs. The
statement does not show that Chicago
has made any claim, so far as President
Pulliam is concerned, of forfeited game
on Thursday, but that the only upshoot
so far of the announcement that
Wednesdays score was a tie, is formal
notice by the New York club that it
will appeal from that decision. President
Pulliams announcement follows:

slant inquiry by telegraph and letter

report OF the umpires was accepted in
the usual manner without prejudice to
the rights of either club.
Under the constitution of the National
league, either club has a right to APP
peal from the decision of the umpires
