BE BARRED FROM
SEVERAL STATES
CanceIing of Dillon Go Puts
Eddie in Bad Light-Commis-
sion to Handle Case.
X HIcAGo, oct. 2S.-Eddie Nc

~ HICAGO, Oct. 2S.-Eddie Nc
Goorty, considered, with Jimmy
Clabby, the leading middle
weight of the country. to-day faces
disbarment not only from the Wis
consin boxing ring, but from New
York and such States where the game
is conducted under law. The Box
ing Commission of Wisconsin has
McGoorty's case in hand and will act
on it at the next meeting. Should
they find that Eddie is at fault in
canceling his match for November 3
they will bar him and ask the other
commissions throughout the country
to do likewise.
McGoorty recently agreed to battle
Dillon, and accepted 80 per cent of
the gross. Things went along until
Friday, when he demanded a guar
antee of $1,700, with a privilege of 30
per cent. The club refused to raise
it's original terms, and McGoorty
called off the go. 1t is said Indian
apolis promoters got to McGoorty and
swayed him in his stand, offering him
bigger percentage.
Tommy. Walsh, manager of Nc
Goorty and who signed the terms for
the match, stated last night that
everything was up to McGoorty now.
Walsh took Eddie under his manage
ment about three weeks ago, and this
is practically the first match he has
secured for the Wisconsin boxer. Lo-
cal fans are anxiously waiting to see
what steps Eddie will take next.

Loss Of Henderson Beat Georgia
Opinion Of Red and Black Fans

completion of the play would have
given them a 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
chance to go to end as a running
mate to Conklin, dopesters of the Red
and Black see 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 a strong bid for all-South-
ern honors.
M 'WHORTER 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 at
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.

thing as guiding bike right;
1t means getting where you want to
70, or aoiding disaster by controlling
yourself. You can do that only by
thinking, and when you think think
straight. Some fellows think hard,
but crooked. They don't often win
and If they do win, they lose your
good will and their own self re-
spect."
So says Christy Mathewson, the
Giants famous twirler. Mathewsou
says he is afraid that too often the
average boy-and the average man
too-plays the game just to win" ami
declares that ''the big thing is not to
win; the big thing is to do your best
and doing your best means getting
into the game with your whole heart.
No matter what the game is, play it
for all there is In you and all there Is
in the game"
The great pitcher advises the boy
first to know himself-to know his
physical and mental self-to know
his own weak points and strengthen
them, and his strong points and de-
Velop them to the fuii This, he says
will take practice, practice, then
more practice, for in athletics espe-
eially practice makes perfect,
Il don't mean practice only with
your arms and legs" says Matty. Il
mean practice with your brgins. too.
Know how to throw, to catch to bat,
to run bases to punt, to kick goals
anything required by the game-but
know also how to think straight
about the contest. When you play
your game with your arms and legs
and brains, too, you get out Of 1t the
most fun and the most benefit There
are disasters in sport but boys who
use their brains, as well as their arms
and legs, usually escape them"
Mathewson tells the boy that
whether he wins or loses In his game
he should try always to win every
body's respect, so that people will
say: Hes fine fellow--he's
square" He advises the boy to play
the game everywhere-in school, on
the diamond, on the gridiron, in the
gym, on the track"

life. They'll never coax this Dutch
man back for a second lacing."
There was some excuse for VOL
CAST demanding a return match with
Richie, as Willie's win was more or
less on the fluke order. But when old
Tommy Murphy and the youthful
Azevedo took his measure Ad should
have been convinced that his days as
star were over.
THE nearest approach we ever had
to a retired champion was the
case of Jim Jeffries. After hopping
and remopping 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. H. c." The
Reno affair put the Sex" on Jeems.
EARLY in 1907 little Abe Attell, sin
IL cere to his finger tips, made a
speech that sounded so good to him
that he kept repeating it for years.
when / am finally cornered and
whipped you will see the most SEN
sational finish over staged in a ring"
said the featherweight champion. I'll
never stay on the floor I'll keep COM
ing up until the police break through
the ropes and stop the show. And
when / lose the title / quit. Never
again for Able"
And Able was relieved of his lau-
role IN nf tho q nYhihitinnS
ever staged at Vernon. Johnnie Kill
bane, youngster, faster and more cum
ming, outpointed Attell all the way
and stole" the decision from the vet
eran. But Attell did not retire until
the sturdy old warrior Tommy Muir
ply had outboxed him and won an
easy decision.
aQ OBJ" FTTZSIMMONS, with his
- head pillowed against the IA
nous floral horseshoe, declared that
he was through with the game after
Jeffries had conquered him at Coney
Island in 1899. But Bob" stayed in
the ring and nine years later, a pitt
full old man of the ring, he was fioored
by Bill Lang in Sydney.
John L. Sullivan's speech in the New
Orleans ring-"Pm glad that an
American has won the championship
was followed by the oft-repeated
statement: There's one good fight
left in me- etc. But no promoter
ever took a chance on matching the
old fellow.
Just as the old fire horse will tug
at his halter every time he smells
smoke, so the boxer will cling to the
game as long as he is able TO climb
into a ring unassisted.
They announce their retirement.
They mean what they say. but they
always try for "one more fight" The
punch is missing, stamina shattered,
the lighting heart" keeps them go
ing.

4 OS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. IS
The retirement bee. Always it
stings a boxer early in his ca
reer,' buzzes about his "caulifiower"
ears until he grows old in service and
finally flies away, leaving him to
founder in the has been" class.
Up in Millett's old Colma camp less
than two hours before he was sched-
uled to meet Joe Cans a third time,
Battling Nelson made this talk:
Il might lose this afternoon, but
doubt it. l think I've got the
smokes number. But if he does lick
me I'll say good bye to the ring. You'll
never see me running around giving
the second raters q chance to make
money at my expense"
This was in 1908, five years ago.
About two weeks back, long since
shorn of his championship honors,
Nelson was beaten by AID Wolgast in
Milwaukee. He has been beaten by
many second and third-rate young
sters, and probably will continue in
the ring as long as the promoters will
make terms with him.
uCHEROKEE" TOM JONES receiv-
" ed q letter from Wolgast yes
terday, one paragraph of which read
as follows:
Want to make several fights yet
so l can grab off enough dough to
build few more houses"
And yet at the height of his, sue
cessful campaign in 1911, Wolgast sat
in this office, drummed idly on the
floor with his big cane. and went on
record to the ieffect that he would
never tie on a glove after he had lost
the title.
81 don't believe = in any champion

OEv0RE SIGNED
BY JACKETS To
COACH L|NEMEN
Former All-American Tackle Will
Start Active Work on Squad
This Afternoon.
MOVE that is expected to round
the Yellow Jackets into one

A MOVE that is expected to round
u the Yellow Jackets into one
q of the best football teams of
the South was completed yesterday
when Lieutenant Devore, of the Sew
enteenth- Infantry, captain of last
years West Point team and all
American tackle for three years, was
signed to coach the Tech linemen for
the remainder of the season.
The athletic authorities of Tech
have been after Devore all season, but
it was not until late yesterday that
terms were agreed upon. 1t has been
a -knownsfact that the Tech line
is the weak part of the local machine,
and it is now thought that Devore
will build up a defense that will be
well able to stand up against the
tough foes Teach is to meet. Devore
will be OH hand this afternoon to
start work.
MIR. Devore being a postmaster in
the art of line play, will take the
men from tackle to tackle and try to
hammer them into shape for the Sc
vance game Saturday. The ends and
backs will be coached by Mr.. Heis-
man.
With two such experts on the job
the improved form of the Jackets
should at once be noticeable.
The main trouble with the Jacket
line has been their charging and
shifting, both on the offense and the
defense. They do not charge low
enough and they do not shift fast
enough.
A hard scrimmage is in store for
the Jacket warriors this afternoon,
and the varsity is going to be put
through the jumps from the time
they are excused from classes until
after dark.
Charging, tackling, shifting and
diagnosing plays on the defense will
be the principal tactics taught for
phe entire week, and when the Jack
cts line up against the Sewanee Ii
gers at Grant Field Saturday they
will be prepared to give them a real
battle.
No one was hurt in the Florida
game. There were the usual bruises
incident to all football games, but
to-day's workout will remove most
Of the stiffness.
1t is expected that Patten and
Loeb will be able to get into harness
against the Tigers Saturday, and it
IS certain that they will be in the
thick of all the signal drills and some
of the scrimmages this week to get
them on edge.

n THENS, GA, Oct 2S.-The
~ Georgia football team returned
from Atlanta covered with
glery., 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 a close score.
and those who did not journey to
Poncey from the Classic City have
taken on renewed hopes for the inn
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-
gian who saw the game that the
Athenians would have returned the
winners had not Henderson been in
iured 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 latter's place, when
he had been out of practice for two
weeks with a severe charley horse.
= EORGIA is hard at it now prac-
~ ticing for the invasion of Athens
Saturday by the University of North
Carolina. Light practice was held
yesterday but to-day and the re-
mainder of the week a driving drill
will be prolonged until dark every
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.
Logan. whose star has been in the
ascendency for two weeks now,
jumped squarely into the white way
by his brilliant work against the Old
Dominions. Twice did he intercept
