THE nearest approach we ever had
to a retired champion was the
case of Jim Jeffries. After hopping
and reno piping the heavyweight di-
vision, finishing up with a joke win
over Jack Monroe in 1904, jeff went
back to the farm and for five years
the printing of his name was always
followed by the tag Of "R. II. C" The
Reno affair put the Eek" on Jeems.
EARLY in 1907 little Abe Attell, sin

speech that sounded so good 10 him
that he kept repeating it for years.

Loss Of Henderson Beat Georgia
Opinion of Red and Black Fans
By Bud Fisher

completion of the play would have
given them touchdown and as many
times did he grab those thrown by his
own teammates for good gains, once
for the lone score that the Red and
Black registered. Should Carey inn
prove sufficiently TO get into the Tech
and Auburn games, giving Logan q
chance to go to end as a running
mate to Conklin, Gopesters OF the Red
and Black see a combination in the
lineup, with Henderson back at
tackle, that will be well nigh i'm
pregnable. especially with Georgia
playing anything like the brand of
ball as was put up Saturday.
r HE work OF Malone in the line has
been the noticeable feature OF
the last two games. Malone, though
one of the fiercest players in the
South. is clean in his fight, and the
Georgia fans can not realize why he
was put out of the game Saturday.
Since the absence of Henderson he is
the mainstay of the Georgia line, and
If he continues to put up the great
game he has been playing this fall
will make d strong bid for all-South-
ern honors.
M w HOR Elk came out OF the fray
A'A Saturday in better shape than
when he emerged from the Alabama
game, and will be able to continue his
great playing against North Carolina
this week Bob is more popular AZ
Georgia than ever this year, and Is
putting to rout all comment that
captains never play up to form.
The McWhorter family in Georgia
used to be famous by the prominence
of Judge McWhorter in politics and
the affairs of the State, but now
whenever the illustrious name is men
toned 1t is usually connected with
football, and Bob is the topic of con-
versation.

"A THENS, GA, Oct. 2S.--The
~ Georgia football team returned
from Atlanta covered with
glory, and were received with open
arms by all Athens, despite the de-
feat at the hands of Virginia Satur-
day. Not even the most optimistic
fan anticipated such close score.
and those who did not journey to
Poncey from the Classic City have
taken on renewed hopes for the i'm
portant games that are to follow
when told of the wonderful fight the
Red and Black team put up against
almost Overwhelming odds.
1t is the conviction of every Geor-
sian who saw the game that the
Athenians would have returned the
winners had not Henderson been in
jured so early in the fray. This
necessitated the switching of Malone
TO tackle, when he has been playing
guard all season, and the sending of
Conyers to the iatter's place. when
he had been out of practice for two
weeks with a severe charley horse.

yesterday, but to-day and the re-

afternoon. Malone is taking Hender
sons place at tackle and Conyers is
guarding at Malone's old stand. The
latest Information from Atlanta,
where Henderson is confined is that
he is not injured as severely as was
first thought and will be back out
for practice in few days.

SOLD WATCH IN NORWICH.
Alfred Martin. IA, Taken Back to State
 Board of Charities at Worcester.

Agent Mcintyre of Worcester, rep- resenting the Massachusetts state board of charities, came to Putnam Thursday and had delivered into his charge Alfred Martin, 14 who has been held at the local police station since Monday night, when the boy was taken into custody as a suspicious character by Sergeant Patrick Hayes, who found him. in company with am other boy who escaped. acting as if he were going to attempt to gain en- trance to a building near the business section
 Since he has been held by the local police young Martin has told various unbelievable and unbelieved stories, but it was finally ascertained by Pro- bation Officer A. w. Bowen, who did considerable talking over the wires. be- fore he got his information, that Mar tin was wanted by agents of the state board of charities in Massachusetts.
 Martin claimed New Bedford as his home but it was learned that he had been in charge of the charities board of Massachusetts for the past three years and has been working for & widow at Oxford, Mass. On the Fourth, with a companion, he did some thieving at the home, stealing a watch among other things. This he said, he had disposed of to a Norwich jeweler. Agent Mcintyre took Martin to Nor- wich Thursday and secured the watch, returning here, en route to Worcester, on an early afternoon train. Martin did not seem to mind his prolonged detention here, in fact, he. seemed tx rather enjoy it.

 He was a darling bright-fa little fellow, with faxen curls and was not much over three years of age. Less the inevitable travel stains, he was almost immaculate in pretty Rus sian suit of white duck, and he wore white socks and shoes and a chic lit tie hat of straw held at that time to the nape of his neck by an elastic band that encircled his throat.
 As Tom climbed down from the seat and stood out in the aisle where he could be more thoroughly inspected Mrs. Pothiers eyes lighted in a mar vicious way and almost immdeiateiy af- ter her first real real good look at the youngster she gathered him in her arms and hugged and kissed him Tn Sucn d manner as 10 indicate that the little fellow will never be lacking for love in the home that he has en- tered.
