Team Georgia VIII Use Against
Tech Is Lighter Than the One
Vanderbilt Lashed to the Mast

n THENS. GA. Nov. 14.-The team
~ that Coach Cunningham brings
to Atlanta Saturday morning to
do battle against the Yellow Jackets
and upon which the Red and Black
supporters are ready to stake even
their laundry allowance. is much lighter
than the team that went against Vandy
"a few weeks ago. The Georgia team
then tipped the balance for a grand to-
tai of 1,943, with an average of III Ill,
while the team now will weigh but an
aggregate of 1895, with an average of
1876 pounds even.
The cause of this is due To the fact
that the men who have replaced those
who will be cut on account of injuries
are lighter players, both in the back
field and line. The drop in the for
wards weight comes at the ends,
Hitchcock and Conklin both being
lighter than either Bowden or Parrish.

fered in the reconstructed lineup when

full, Hitchcock to end and Henderson

NO. 2-EDDIE FOSTER.

II ode FOSTER, third base
r. man of the Washington club,
is another youngster who
has made good in big league COM
pany with vengeance. 1t Is true
that Foster had trial with the
New York Yankees in 1911. but he
was let out, shot back to the mi
nors, and his first real work as a
Dig Lacquer was in 1912.
According to Ban Johnson. pres
ident of the American league and
general boss of everything on the
map that is connected with base
ball. Foster is the best young play
er dug up by the American league
last season.
The head of the. American league
voiced this opinion when asked to
name the best all-around young ball
player of this years vintage. This
Is what johnson says of Foster:
Foster is but one of several
very fast players who have made
great records in their first seasons
efforts. When every view of Fos-
ters work is considered, however.
l believe he is entitled to the hon
or of leading the list.
Foster is fast fielder. covers
lot of ground, hits well and plays
magnificent inside game. He is a
wise player in every way. and is
improving all of the time.
Second Adventure in LEAGUE.
This is his second adventure in
the American league. and he learn
ed much by his first appearance.
Like many a younger player. he
was not ready for fast COMPANY
the first time up, and he did not
know how to take care of himself.
1T is different now, however, for
he has learned his lesson well. and.
realizes it is up to him to keep him
self in condition to deliver the best
baseball that is in him.
The only possible objection to
Foster might be that he is small.

GEORGIA ATTACK FOR
TECH GAME A SECRET

n THENS, GA, Nov. 14.-An-
~ other stiff scrimmage was
the order of practice on
Sanford field yesterday afternoon
and not until dark did Coach Cum
ningham send his men TO the field
. house. Defensive work almost al
together fell to the lot of the var
sity and when they were finally
given the ball ploughed their way
with ease through the scrubs for
the entire length of the field.
Georgia's hard luck in getting
men injured in scrimmage is still
following the squad as a Nemesis
that can't be shaken. Although the
regulars have come through this
weeks hard scrimmages without a
serious mishap, HAYES, one of the
best men on the scrubs, sustained a
sprained knee yesterday afternoon
and had to be carried off the field.
The practices the remainder Of the
week will necessarily be lighter,
with mostly signal work.
The Red and Black eleven should
enter this game in first class condi-
ton, as it has enjoyed a long rest
since the Clemson game and in the
practices this week has shown no
signs of having grown stale Cap
tain Peacock has recovered from
the light touch of fever that handi-
capped him in the last game, while
Malone. who suffered most from the
Clemson attack. will be in good
condition Saturday The players
who have been out for several
weeks, Harrell, Wheatley and
Sancken. will hardly get in the
game. and the filing of these places
has drawn heavily on the scrubs,
which means that the first string
men will have to bear the brunt of
the battle and will not be relieved

unless forced by injuries.

unless forced by injuries.
How Georgia will direct her at
tack Is an unknown quantity, even
here, to the closest followers of the
Red and Black success. The team
is working behind closed gates and
gives out but few tips, whether it
will be line plunging, end running
or forward passes it has not been
announced. but 1t takes no sage to
dope out that Techs line must be
able to stand lot of terrific plung-
ing and battering. The Yellow
Jackets, on the other hand, will be
at a decided disadvantage in cam
tering their attack on McWhorter
the great halfback, and not watch
ing the other Georgia backs. Bow
den has been going at a great clip
since he was switched from end to
half. while Paddock and Thompson
will bear watching by any team.

Ban Johnson Declares Foster Best Youngse Circuit
RECRUITS WHO HAVE MADE GOOD IN Big LEAGUES

though this does not appear to han
dicap him, for he covers as much
ground as any third baseman, and
his speed in getting after the ball
is enough to make up for the lack
of inches. He throws to first ac-
curately and fast and from almost
any position.
1T is delicate thing for me to
pick a player as the best young
ster in the American league. but
feel that Foster deserves the dis
tinction, and it is no discredit at
all for any of the other young
stars that he should be chosen. On
the other hand, it should be an in
Scentive for young players to work
hard to make as good a record as
Foster has made for himself"
OVercame His Reputation.
Foster may not be all that the
critics claim for him. The little
third baseman may have "a difficult
time making good the glowing pre-
dictions regarding his future in the
big league. but the fact remains
that last season he merited a heap
of praise. When Foster began TO
flash number of sparkling plays
during the first few days of the
season it occasioned some COM
ment that he was playing beyond
his speed. He came along stead
lily, though, making play after play
that has won games and unlimited
applause.
Foster is of diminutive stature,
being about the size of owen Bush.
of the Tigers. The old saw about
good things coming in small par
cells may properly be applied to
him. He appears to be every inch
a ball player, in spite of his tint
ness.
Lack of years has prevented him
from casting more than two or
three votes. He is about % years
old. and looks to have many years
of usefulness on the diamond be-

out. out hopes to get back to signal
practice this afternoon. Extra
careful watch is being kept around
the, field and no one is allowed to
even stop in the proximity of the
practice ground.
As a whole, the team will just
about reach their climax Saturday
and Atlanta fans should witness a
game that will be equal in fight
and hard playing to the famous
Yale Harvard and Army Navy
games of the East.
There will be no intercollegiate
game in Atlanta on the 23d. but

stature earned him the sobriquet
OF Kid in the baseball world.
Discovered by Mack.
No less a parsonage than Connie
Mack discovered Foster playing on
the lots in the Windy City. He at
tracted the attention of the Ath-
letic leader who thought he recog-
nized big league caiiber in the
youth. Mack recommended him to
Harry Wolverton. then manager of
the Williamsport club in the Tri-
State league. This was back in
1908, and during that season Eos
ter made his debut in organized
baseball under the guidance of
WolVerton.
He covered short field for the
Williamsport team for one season,
being drafted by the Jersey City
club of the Eastern league in 1909.
He did splendid work for the
Shelters. winning many games by
his heavy stickwork. SO well was
he liked by the club that an Of
fer of $4,000 was turned down for
his services, only to lose him by
draft
Tigers Drew Youngster.
The Detroit Americans drew
Foster. and Jennings having a pie
thora of infielders, turned him over
to the Yankees After tryout in ,
1910, the kid was sold to Rochester
for $1,000 on an optional agree
ment He helped John Camel win
a pennant in the International
league. His work was of high class
order while with the Bronchos, still
the big league scouts did not cause
any stampede trying to corral him.
1t was thought that the New York
club had strings on nearly every
player on Cancels payroll.
Mike Kahoe, the Washington
scout. liked the way Foster per-
formed in the field. After investi-
eating and learning that he was
owned by the Rochester club there
being no strings on him. Kahoe
bought him with Dan Moeller and
Chester Spencer, another infielder.

only go are known to have been
saved. The White Star Line Off
ces in New York. while keeping up
hope TO the last. were free to admit
that there had been "horrible loss of
life"
Accepting the early estimates of
the fatality list, as accurate, the
disaster il the greatest IN the mar
inc history Of the world.
A humber OF ships went TO the
rescue called by wireless telegraph.
The scene as the Carpathia one of
them came up was one of desolation.
All that remained of the $l0,00O,OOO
floating palace, ON which nearly l.
400 passengers had been voyaging
luxuriously u this side of the Allan
tic, were some bits of wreckage. The
biggest ship in the world had gone
down, snuffing out in her downward
plunge. it appeared hundreds of hn-
man lives.
A significant line in the Cape
Race dispatch was the announce
ment that of those saved by the
Carpathia nearly all were women
and children. Should il prove that
no other vessel picked up any pas
sengers of the sinking liner. this
might mean that few of the men on
board had been saved. as the proper
ton of women and children among
the passengers was large. The
same facts would likewise spell the
doom OF practically the entire crew
of 500.

men among the visitors, but to even
this up Coach Harry Camnitz went
into the box for Stanford in the
sixth inning, when the collegians be-
gan to slam Wesley Embry's offer
ings all over the lot, so that the
game was a pretty even affair at
ter all. n
Up until the sixth inning when he

IT. the box was superb. For
some reason, he apparently weakens
toward the latter part of a game.
Until the sixth inning he held the
visitors to a single hit and runless,
but they hammered him for four tall
lies in the sixth. Camnitz checked
the scoring for one inning. but the
rah. rah. rah boys found him for
three safeties in the eighth, two Of
them doubles, and managed to shove
a couple or more scores over the pan
but that was all.
Stanford hit hard all through the
game. Capt Bill McCarty greatly
distinguishing himself at the bat by
hitting safely every time up, two of
them going for two bags, while the
others were easy singles. He also
played IA brilliant game on the green,
making but one bobble, a muff on a
very low thrown ball. This boy gets
better all the time, and can make
good in the Blue Grass league. Nike

WINDOWS SMASHED
BY HEAVY HAIlSTONES
While Fruit Trees Were Stripped Of
Buds and Blossoms Monday
A Midsummer Storm

The heaviest hailstJrm that has
been experienced in this part of the
state in manyJyears wa. had here
shortly after noon Monday. Hail
stones almost as large as the pro-
verbal "hen eggs" fell for the space
of about fifteen minutes, and did un-
told damage to buds on fruit trees.
Many of the limbs which were JUS.
budding, and beginning to bloom,
were stripped as clearly as if they
had been pruned with sharp knife.
. Window panes were smashed all
over town. Many hail stones as
large as robin eggs fell, while the
marble size were plentiful.
The heavy hail was preceded by
a young cyclone which did some
damage especially in southern Sec
ton of the county. The, silo OF, Will
Matheny. on the Somerset pike, was
toppled over. and some other dam
age was done. The storm came up
suddenly and was u ve1.itable mid
summer affair. Had it been a month
later every tobacco bed within the
territory of the hail would have been
Il complete loss.
The glass hot house of Miss Lena
Hampton was riddled by the hail
stones as if a gatling gup had been
fired into it from above. Fully two
thirds of the glass was shattered and
the damage will be very heavy.
Later reports showed that the
hailstorm was very local in its scope
Eph Woods reported that there was
no hail in his part of the county.
and the rural route carriers coming
i'll in the afternoon said that they
saw no hail and little rain outside
of the city limits.
