Georgia Insists
Game Be Played
At Ponce DeLeon

ATHENS, GA. Nov 11.--Professor
Sanford, physical director at Georgia,
has given out a statement to the
effect that the contract between
Georgia and Tech does not specify
that Saturdays football game sinai
be played at Grant Field, AMI GeuT-
gia insists that ii must be played or
neutral grounds as heretofore, or that
contract be entered into at once
that Will provide for one game in
Atlanta one year on Grant Field and
another in Athens the next year on
Sanford Field.
1t is maintained by the Georgia au-
thorities that 1t is not only in fair
ness to the Georgia team that the
game be played on neutral grounds,
but that it is due the public that the
greatest game Of the season be played
where the best accommodations are
afforded.
The athletic authorities here have
taken a stand that the game is to, he
played on Ponce DeLeOn or not at
all, and IL Tech does not concede the
neutrality, Atlanta Will surely lose
the Georgia Tech game for at least
every other year
A general holiday has been de
cIared for Saturday, and at least
1000 Athenians will go to Atlanta cor
the game.

NOW for the six pitchers.

NOW for the six pitchers
~ We all know Clarence kisslnger,
VINO certainly doesn't look as if his
name was Clarence. He lives in
Adrian, Mich, and was purchased by
the Crackers from the Memphis club,
which aggregation he supported by mis-
almost unaided efforts last season
With a sixth place club "Ruhe"
(Which souRds more like his RICH!
name) won twelve and lost fourteen
games for a per cent of .462, batted
.22l and fielded 1872. He is a crafty
and experienced veteran, at his best
in a pinch and one Of the noisiest and
most useful coacherS the Southern
League ever enjoyed.
"Parson" Perryman played last year
in the Virginia League, and is favor
ably recommended by lou Castro,
which should not be held against him
He lost one more game than he won
in pitching, but we understand that ii
wasn't his fault His batting is not
about his own weight, .163. He is a
tall rangy chap, with a fine curve bail
and plenty of speed. He is studying
for the ministry, is in earnest about
it, and pitches as conscientiously as
he studies.
Browning was drafted from San
Antonio, in the Texas League where
he won seventeen and lost fifteen
games last year with a club that ran
very poor fourth with an average
Of $50 He batted 500 and flelded
.952. Major Galway regards him as
a youngster of much promise.
MIR. Ehrd comes to US with a star
ting record in the Virginia League,
where he won 20 games and lost "a
a real iron man" mark, with a sec
ond place club He famed 1873 bats
men, and averaged just one base on
balls TO the game His batting aver
age was 1873, and his fielding $3.50
Hedgepeth also was a wonder in
Class C company, winning Il and
losing / 0 games in the Virginia League
with The pennant winners, the Peters
burg team. Hedges" also is a slug
ger, hitting the pill for an average Of
295, while his fielding was eXcep-
tlonally good. 991 He is rated a
conner by everyone VINO has looked
him over. He was purchased by the
Crackers from the Washington club.
Elmer Lawrence, the last pitcher,
came a. the result Of an even swap
Tor McElveen. He played last season
with Knoxville in the Appalachian
League, where his record IL shrouded
In some mystery to date. though We
have the tip from headquarters that
he is pippir without the pip.

with Wild attack that would have
frustrated the average opponent
Whenever one of his swings caught
the champion alongside the jaw the
black head of the Californian snapped
back.
From Cross corner came a wild
turmoil Of swearing and yelling
throughout the fight as a horde Of
excited seconds implored Leach to
keep his hands up over in the
Californian's corner of the ring ali

A wonderful fellow is this Richie
He can fight and he can hit, but

TERE'S the latest possible dope
ri on the Cracker layout for 1914.
Bill Smith is shopping around
in Ohio, and may have something up
his sleeve, but he hasn't shaken it
down yet. So the following is the
freshest stuff from the local head =
quarters, with some information about
the ten new Crackers already Sc
cured, who will stick al least until
the wedding out in the spring train
ing.
FIRST the Old Standby Bunch-Jhe
remnant OF that fighting team that
won Atlanta the brightest pennant ii
'le of its history.
Catchers-Chapn an and Dunn.
Pitchers-Dent, Price and NOss.
Intielder-Manush.
OutfieIders-Welcho Long anG
Nixon,
You will note nothing is said about
Pitchers Thompson and Councilman.
Or about Infelders Smith and Holland.
We simply don't know about them.
That's all. We may see them when
the roses bloom again. And again we
may not. Here's hoping!
WELL, that leaves a hole necdfui to
w be plugged by several pitchers. a
first bqsemau, a third baseman OF
Manush is to remain on the utility
lob, second baseman and a short
stop. The Quilted looks pretty good
rs it il, and were duly grateful for
that.
But Bisland is gone, and Joe Agler
And Wally Smith is gone. and Harry
Holland, and there's no telling II Wen
get either of the latter pair back, and
It's a moral cincu the first two are
gone for good.
Well, let's see-lets see.
LERE are ten new ones, and not al!
L rockies, either.
Catcher-J. Ham" Reynolds
PitcEers-Clareuce Kisslngcr, F.
Key Perryman Frank Browning, j..
Efrd H, HeGgepeth, Elmer Lawrence
First Base-Eible.
hortstop-Morley Jennings.
Outdelder-George S. Kirsehner
QUITE q little list what? Espe.

#, Following is some dope Oh the new
ones:
Ham" Reynolds as optionized ia
the Beaumont team Of the Texas
League last season. He appeared IN
"a games, batting $50 and fielding
1854, and playing what is reported TO
be an excellent game for yOungster.

the result was not greatly in doubt,
barring the possibility Of Cross get

In the third round he dropped Cross

n FEW YORK Nov 1.-Two
N mighty tired young fighting
men hung together under the

the red roped ring at Madison Square
Garden at 11:15 o'clock last night
Their blood stained arms we're inter
laced and their bodies, crimson with

The gong had sounded, closing the
ten round bout between Willie RitCh-
lie, lightweight champion Of the world
and Leach Cross, pride Of New York's
lower East Side, and both men knew
they had been in a night.
Richie won, but his brows were
drawn to corrugated lines, and his
eyes carried a worn expression that
told something Of the strain he had
undergone to defend his title against
the slashing dentist.
Ten Hard Rounds for Champ.
1t is unlikely that the young cham
pion will ever again have to fight ten
such stormy rounds until that day
arrives when he must pass the way
"f all champions.
Cross fought great fight There
were even fleeing moments when the
championship seemed within his

the slender little Californian along

tie at a furious gait.
