SOUTHERN GR|D|RON
 TEAMS PLAY AGAIN TN PRACTICE T|LTS
Battle of Tech and Penn at Atlanta Is SOuth's Chief AttractiOn-Other
 Games

Atlanta, October 5.-The most impor- tant intersectional football game ever played in the south is scheduled for to- morrow when Georgia Tech and the University of Pennsylvania meet here. It was estimated tonight that one of the largest crowds, if not the largest ever at Grant field will witness the game between the 1878 southern champions and the Quakers, one of the "bix six in eastern football.
 Hundreds of members of the federal ized national guard training at Augusta, Ga, are expected here tomorrow to root for the Red and Blue, and reserva- tions have been made for 1900 eastern CTS who are at the Fort Oglethrope, Ga, officers training camp.
 Although Coach Heisman has built his machine this season almost entirely around five veterans of last year, in cluding Strupper, Quill, Hill and Harlan, football critics point out that the battle tomorrow will give a demonstration of what may be expected from southern elevens when they face opponents from the east Coach Folwell and a squad Of 22 players, including five veterans of Penn's team of last season, among whom is Howard Berry, considered by many an all-American fullback arrived in Atlanta today. Reports from the Tech camp indicated that all of the first team men who were in action last Saturday in the double victory against North and South Carolina elevens, will be in condition for the game tomorrow.
 While Tech and Pennsylvania are bat ting here for intersectional honors Van includes only few last years men, will meet Pennsylvania at Nashville. and the University of the South's eleven will get into action for the first time under the tutelage of Coach Best'against How ard college at Sewanee. South Caro- lima will play Newberry at Columbia, and Washington and Lee will meet Richmond college at Lexington. Tu- lane will open it's season in New Or leans with Jefferson college, and Lou isiana State has a schedule with La Fayette at Baton Rouge.
 Auburn has not played a game so far this season, the Plainsmen having called off their contest last Saturday with Marion Military institute on ac- count of wet grounds. Coach Donahue's eleven has no college game for tomor- row. Contrary to reports, the Univer- sity of Alabama will be represented on the gridiron this season, although the Crimson will, be late opening its sched- ule The first game will be next Sat- urday when Florida also opens its sea son.

HAMPSTEAD WILL NOT
 SEE GAMES AT CHICAGO

New York, October 5.-President Harry N. Hampstead of the New York National league club will not see the opening games of the world series at Chicago, it was learned today. While he had looked forward to those games with con- siderable anticipation, he found at the last minute that he would have to re- main in New York and supervise the sale of tickets to the games here next week.
 Mr. Hampstead announced that there would be no public sale of reserved seats for the games in New York The 5000 upper tier seats at the Polo grounds already have been taken, he said, by members of the clubs in the two leagues, and local patrons who annually buy seats for the season. All the lower grandstand and bleacher seats will be unreserved, however, and will be sold on the day of each game.
 The gates of the Polo Grounds will be opened at 9 o'clock in the morning on each day of the game. Only one ticket will be sold to an individual and the purchaser must go to the park inn mediately Under this arrangements Mr. Hampstead believes that there will be little. if any, ticket speculating.

FeW Championship Battles HQDe Aroused Interest Of
 Giants White SOr Clashes
First Time in History New York and Chicago Clubs Have Met flor Worlds Baseball Title-American League Clubs
 Have Won Most Series

New York, October 5.--In the long his- tory of world series play for the cham pionship of the baseball universe 1t is doubtful if any previous contest of this character aroused the widespread interest which has been engendered by the coming clash between the Chicago Americans and the New York Nationals. Although world series play is not new to either of the cities represented by clubs in the finale of the professional baseball year, it will be the first time that New York and Chicago clubs have met for the pre- mie1' honors .of the diamond
 This Is all the more remarkable when it is considered that the world series dates back to 1884 and has continued in one form or another and with but few breaks for more than 30 years. The en- suing series will be the twenty-sixth since the Providence club of the Ma honai league faced the metropolitan team of the American association in the initial contest back in 1884, and emerged victor in three straight games. It will also be the thirteenth played under the code and jurisdiction of the national commission which in 1905 arranged for an annual meeting between the pennant winning clubs of the two major leagues.
 AMERICANS WON MOST
 Of the 12 series staged under these rules the American league teams have won seven and the National league cluos five. Slxty-six games have been played. of which the Americans have won 33 and the Nationals 31, with two resulting in tie contests. But one run divided the records of the two leagues in this re- spect as during these 66 games the Ma tional league players have crossed the plate 223 times to their rivals 222.

Ing Of the Chicago and New York clubs Is the fact that both may be said to hold charter membership in their respective organizations. The New York team en- tered the senior baseball circuit on forma- uon In 1876 and finised sixth that season. At the close of the schedule of play the combination dropped out and did not re- turn until 1883, from which date it's con- nection with the National league has been continuous. The Chicago White Sox played prominent part in the forming or the American league in 1900 and has alos held continuous membership in the junior league since that year.
