 GO ID BALTIMORE:

Seagrt. N. J., June Ex-Governor Wilson decided this evening not to go to Baltimore. He did not believe. he in- dicated, that it would be dignified for him to do so or that he would gain anything by taking the trip.
 The governor spent busy day. be- ing in constant telephone communica- ton with his leaders at Baltimore ana 1t was not~until this evening that he reached the decision not to go to the convention city The governor seemed pleased when the news came that w. J. Bryan had transferred his vote to the Wilson column.
 At late dinner the governor said he had not heard directly from Mir. Bryan during the day.
 At the present rate of gain" the governor said. after reading the re- sulh of the fifteenth ballot, I figure 1t will only take about 175 more ballots to land me. I guess they are having a hard time there as one of my friends wrote me at 5 o'clock this morning that he could hardly write above a whisper"

 COMES TO GRIEF

Paris, June 29-The correctional court today sentenced the Countess Claire" to one year Imprisonment and to pay fine of s200, and Count Ladislaus Zol- lynski to two years imprisonment and to pay a fine of $400 for obtaining money under false pretenses from MISS w.ilhelmina Kemper in connection with scheme to arrange marriage De- tween Prince Victor of Thurn and Taxis and an American heiress.

Greatest Football Play I Ever
Saw---Written by Tom Kittrell

was no lettering to gather flowers.
The play had been well conceived,
and was faultlessly executed.
Sewanee's quarter and left half
back passed outside of Vanderbilt's
right tackle, as the interference
against the latter's back field. with
Cleveland on their heels. The ruse
Of the punt had paved the way,
and Cleveland's speed and lodging
did the rest. Soon he was head
ing procession of the Old Gold
and Black players down across the
field for a touchdown.
In SeWanee's first play she had
scored touchdown after a run Of
something over 107 yards.
While Cleveland was the star per-
former, his support was all that
could have been desired: every man
performed his part with the preci-
sion and thOroughness that ordi-
narily results only from the most
careful coaching.
With this beginning. aided by
her superior offensive work, Sewa-
nee scored q decisive victory. her

ERE
To GET LINE ON
TECH ELEVEN

a THENS, GA. Nov. 9.-Several
~ Of the University of Georgia
football warriors left this
morning for Atlanta to witness the
annual gridron struggle between
Tech and Sewanee. The local play
ers will watch the game closely SO
as to get line on the real strength
OF the Yellow Jackets. as they Zig
ure that Coach Heisman will turn
loose everything in his category in
an effort to get the decision over
the Tigers.
AS regards the Tech game, Geor-
gia supporters believe that the Red
and Black viii win by a narrow
margin and not by a big score, as
has been predicted by many of the
wise ones" The prowess of one
J. Heisman is too well known and
commands too much respect in
these quarters-and for this reason
alone a small score is expected.
Georgia has at last struck its
stride, as is manifested by the work
of the players in the Sewanee and
Clemson games. The . playing
strength OF the line has increased
40 per cent within the past two
weeks and the Interference is now
all that could be asked for,
Through a series Of unfortunate
injuries, Coach Cunningham has
unearthed wonderful tackle in
Henderson. In the Sewanee game
Harrell was laid up for repairs,
and Wood. q substitute, was sent
into the game. Woods work did
not satisfy Cunningham, who sent
Henderson to the rescue. The tao
kle position was entirely new to
him. but the great game he put up
VIII long be remembered 10y all who
witnessed the contest. He also did
magnificent work In the Clemson
game, and as a result viii he re
tanned at tackle for the remainder
of the season.
