Charlotte. anil the Vstiderhllt-Michlga:
game at Ann Arbor.
For general intereat throughout tin
South, the Vanderbllt-Mlchlgan gain** in pre
eminent. The Commodore#. coached by the
mighty Michigan player. Dan Meflnglti,
have wiped up the everlaatlng earth with
everything whleh hnn had the temerity to
tackle the game. Already the hrag team*
of Kentucky. Mississippi. Alabama

the rommodore*' measure,
Already. In four games played under the
acore-roduclng "ten-yard rule." Vanderbilt
[ turn pile*! up 180 points to 0, and they hare
dlaplnyed the greatest offensive and de
fensive work on record In the South.
If the Nashville men were going agaliiHt
any team In the world but Michigan or one
of the Eastern "Big Four" they would un
doubtedly have n fnlr ehanee for victory.
But there la praetlenlly 40 beating the
Hurry-f'p hunch of Yost's, and It looka as
though If Vanderbilt escape* .with not oTer
two or three touchdown* against her, her
liackera should bo Hatlnflcd.
The Vanderbilt team la already speeding
MIchlganward. and Saturday afternoon the
fun begin*.
The gnme at Aun Arhor 1* the only South-
against-the-mlddle-Went contest this year,
and one of the few Intcrsectlnnnl game* of
the aenaon. In consequence It Is being
watched with especial Intereat nil over the
country.

To Atlantan* the Tech-Auburn game Is
tin* one of primary Importance. And It
will be worth a couple of dollars of any
man’* money—though It doesn't coat that

On the dope bnala, Auburn rather hna It

r Tech.
Here nre the figure* by
miiim may In* made:
Auburn 0, Maryville 0.
Tech it. Maryville 6
Tech 0, Sewn net* l»i.
Auburn 6, Hewaneo 1ft.
Islng there figure* for tin* purpose «»f
mnkiiig coniparlHoua. it I* evident that Au
burn has It n shade over Tech up to yet. .
But then It I* no eertaluty that Toll 1*1
going to lose.
On the huals of the Maryville game*,
Tech and Auburn nre about even. The Se-
wanee gatuea have to lie taken with some
explanation.
The Hewn nee team came to Atlanta scared
to death of the HoImiiiuii machine. The pur
ple player* went on the Held to do or die,
and they pinyed their very hardest. One
of their touchdowns came from a *tmight
football. Tin* other two were more o? lea*
the result of hick accident*.
When the Sewn nee player* went to Au
burn, however, they thought that they Were
up ngnliiat a • Inch and when they found !
their mistake It waa pretty late In the day, i
and the team wn* badly demomllsed. It I#
u known fact that up over-confident team
I* handicapped a touchdown or two. and
It I* obvlotm that Sewanee did not phi.v to
her true form ngulnat Auburn.
So. without venturing the prediction
Auburn I* going to be beaten, the assertion
In risked that the tennis nre about equal In
atrength and that I ho victory will undotiht
edly go to the team which plays nearest ti
true form on Saturday. A* road
fleiaman will have his player* In flue eot^I
tlon for that game and na the Yellow Jack
eta have shown their ability to take advan
tage of the new rule*, and because they
have in Brown n kicker who I* likely to
do almost anything aonaatlonn! In a pinch,
It la certain that the local players will
make a good showing.
Laat of tha "Big Throe.”
The Davidson-Clemson game al*o prom
ises to he something of n "loo-loo."
i**e teams have both met and defeated
(ieorgln. Davidson did It by « score of 15
to ft. and Clemson by n score of 6 to 0. Yet
It la bar*! to believe that Davidson Is two
touchdown* better than Clcmoou. David
son hi 1* n crnck team and with her men nil
condition, as they are now. will make
the best of them hustle. At Clemson Coach
William* !m* had n long up-hill fight be-
cause It neemed impossible to keep Ills men
condition. If he can put his team In
field Saturday with all the men In good
condition he will entertain Davidson to tho
llndt. If ho can’t, the North Carolina team
Is going to walk sway with the prise.
This game will be watched with especial
Intereat by local men, na It will give a good
lino on the Thanksgiving Day game In At

great game of the Atlanta season.

Harvard Has Some New Plays
For Her Game With the Elis
The Harvard football team lias three
more games before they will meet Yale,
and In those three games they should
show a still more open play. The four
weeks before the game with Yale will
probably be spent behind the fence In
developing plays to use on the sons of

Saturday, and that game will give the team*faces^Yal’e*

Fresh Dope From the Fall Fanning Mill
A ease of imimrtaiicc In the baseball
world was Anally decided the other day
when the -National Baseball Commission
refused the request of the New York Na
tional* to piny nil exhibition game at
Elisabeth, X. .1. The Newark Hub of the
Eastern League objected to having tin*
game played at that point on. the ground
that the Giant* were Invading tho terri
tory given to them by the national commis
sion. The National Baseball Commission
made a wider ruling 011 the subject than
heretofore announced. A former ruling
wa* made on 1111 application by the Eliza
beth club and applied to the playing sea-
sou, tint In passing on tin* New York ap
plication the commission declared that nt
time should game* be permitted unless
club locally Interested consents, and
that the club opposing any national agree
ment club must have no'Ineligible players.

not mean that a manager will revolution

managers turn out big failure* when they
go into major leagues, Just a*, tin* young
players do, a* the conditions are alto

their ability to borrow or make deals for

NO DENIAL FROM JIM FOX
Jimmy Fox has risen to remark that too much publicity has been
given to the rumor that he is to be married about Christmas time and thus
furnish the "surprise’’ he promised his Atlanta friends.
Below will be found his- letter to Billy Smith, manager of the Atlanta
team. «
A careful reading of it does not bring out any details of the rumor
and until it stands corrected we shall have to believe the worst. Here Is
tho letter:
"Cordova, X. ., October 31, 1906.
"Dear Friend—What In the d— did you go and put that bunch of
stuff in the newspapers for? You knew better all the time. I'll bet you

"I was awfully sorry to see where Bayne had committed suicide. Did

would finish up like they did. Remember me to all the fellows.

A good story wn* told on Billy Sullivan,
catcher of the White Sox, recently, by
mono of tin* players. It seems Sullivan
aud Owen were put In a* battery for the
1-Mgortou. Win., team last Friday, and Al*
rk nnd Roth worked In tho same ra
lly for the Sox. A# Billy I# nn Edgcr-
prudnet and the whole town and neigh-

piny, the l»oy# got together and decided to
let "Sully" get « long hit If possible. As
1 playing on the Hdgerton team. It
would Jolly up tho denUens of that place
also.
Can Not Get Hit Hit.
So Roth signaled Altroek to lay nu easy
in* over tho plate. In tho meantime,
Danny Green, who was playing left tleld
the Sox during the barnstorming trip,
took a position lu the garden where he
though Sullivan would never hit to. L#
aud behold! Billy swatted the tlrst ball
pitched an awful belt nnd It went on a
bee line for Dntmy. Poor Green did not
want to catch It. but he ooUld not rim
away from It, us It was routing on a line.
So he simply stood In Ids tracks without
moving 2 feet and caught It.
"Better luck next flute," said the l*o.vs
to themselves. So Green took Id* station
way back In such a position that It
a 100 to 1 shot that Sullivan would uot
reach, but Billy drove another line crack
right for Danny, who simply Und to catch
that one, too. It began to look a* though
they could not give Billy a safe hill The
next time up; he first rap|H*d an easy foul
fly. which Both deliberately pretended not
to *ee, but rau out Into the diamond pro
tending to look for it in midair. The same
tiling happened again nnd then Billy tap
I ted a pop-up to tlie infield, which It would
have I teen murder not to grab. It would
have l»een too apparent to all.
Hitt Another at Gretn.
When BUly earn** up for tlie fourth and
last time, Danny Green said.to himself:
"Probably here'# where I put myself
where •Sully' won't crack the ball." •
So he took his position square on the foul
line. Bing! The ball went straight from
Billv's bat on a line for Danny und lie
