Good,srqoke ' j&r ' v y /Jporl o Hjc XT n — I last year's wonderful Vanderbilt team will not be with the eleven this fall. It seems that of the 1911 men only those who are counted on are Tom Brown, Enoch Brown, Mor gan. Hardage, Sykes. Joe Coving ton and Collins. Almost any Southern coach would cry with Joy to get those men. But consider that McGugin must face the loss of Ray Morri son, "Frog" Metzger, "Big Un" Freeland, Charley Brown and Kent Morrison. Kent Morrison will drop out for a year Ray Morrison has been graduated. So have Freeland and Metzger. Imagine trying to find three men who can replace Ray Morrison. Metzger and Freeland. It Is doubtful If a S. I. A. A team in his tory, excepting the Vanderbilt team the year of the "Big Strike,’’ ever lost as many valuable men in one year A lot of folks say that no team ever before lost a man as valuable as Ray Morrison for the excellent reason that there never was one such before. He was the star of the open field offense; Freeland was the vertebrarlum (cheese word for that overworked one, '’backbone") of the defense, and Metzger was the guy who opened up the holes In the line ♦ • • 'l’o 1111 the gaps there arc a good lot of high-grade subs and scrubs to draw from—no wonders now, of course; but they will be wonders after McGugin gets through with them.

SEPTEMBER 9. 191_. go back to anything like the game under the rules before they practi cally changed, as are too many other hindrances in the way of rules to make the 1904 game practicable, but we have taken a step backward and are not in quite as good a position to make a show ing against Harvard as we were before the downs vs ere increased from three to four. “I do not know how to comment on the Harvard game. We have made our good showing against teams outside of the South largely on account of the diversified and rapid fire attack and also on ac count of the most splendid deter mined spirit when on the defense. In other words,, we have never failed to gain ground rapidly dur ing certain periods of the game and have then been able to hold our own upon the defense.” « • * xrANDERBILT enthusiasts need * not bo particularly worried over the prospects It is quite probable that the Commodores will not be quite as strong this year as they wore last. But they will un doubtedly- be strong enough to up hold the honors of the South in that Harvard game And they will bo certain to show Atlanta some real football when they tackle the Red and Black at Ponce DeLeon park October 19. They will do it because Vander bilt naturally draws a lot of the host sort of football material. But more particularly they will do it because of McGugin. Dan is the Wizard of the Pigskin game. He has yet to score his first failure -and he's been with us in the South since 1904 5 ' Just how b» does it nobody really knows. But he does do it, year after year. And he has put the South on the foot ball map. .■■>%&■ W\ '* ’ 4 ////7 / >< " ~ r* ! *sg£ s «r?’“ :PV ((. ■ -., / \ \ ■ ; ■ ' sM*’* ■ JOB,, , M • > ~ • t T-.3.vF^■ v* iSMb/ SO ww f / \\ , *wiK I ,$ -F / \\ \ \ I ( \\ W \< ■ \k | JUKI iw< > \\ ■) V wj>. ■ . - n ... * JB< yy \\ •y/\’ 7/ ™. o„,?C’.„ Wolgast’s "Injured" Arm Is Only a Stall For an Extra $5,000 CADILLAC, .MICH.

J. Mcßeth. NEW YORK. Sept. 9.—The world's series of 1912 is one likely to be remembered as long as the game endures. Not only will it bring together, in the respective major league champions, an unusually well matched pair of contestants, but it will also fur nish a stake of such gigantic pro p rtions as to bring out the very last ounce of fight. . A month is left of the major league schedule. Much may hap pen in that time. In neither league, so far. has the pennant been won to an absolute certainty. Yet the New York Giants and the Boston Rod Sox appear to have such stran gle holds on tfie laurels that, for the sake of argument, we’ll elimi nate the rest of the fields. Unless some miracle happens, the big an nual pow-wow of the clans will be staged jointly in this city and in the City of Culture. For every one at all concerned in the national pastime, a better post-season attraction' could not be arranged. In the matter of pure ability, it is doubtful if two better matched viva’s ever faced each oth er. These prospective ehallehgers for a world’s title represent the two greatest ba-ebaß cities of the country. New York will undoubt edly be the popular favorite over Boston —at least, in the speculative field-. Pittsburg money is bound to have such an influence. It is always a simple question of Na tional league sentiment against that of the American league, and Pitts burg money invariably backs its sympathy for the old major organi zation. World of Money on Giants. Os course. New York, in view of Io :il baseball conditions, is a hot bed of National league enthusiasm, and will .string along with the Giants to the bitter end on that account. Conditions just the re verse prevail in Boston r The Hub ■an not s'?e the National league with a -py glass But the prepon derance oT iional league money from New . k and Pittsburg is likely to go begging for odds, no Here's How Crackers Are Hitting the Ball Right Up to Date ’These averages include all games played by the <’packers: Player— g . ab. r. h. p. c.

' II ATT.y.V o 'GA. TENN. Sept. 9 -Miki Balcnti. the Lookouts’ Indian shortstop, ha.- already signed a 1913 contract to play with the local team, and will report here in the spring. Catcher Hannah left the team yester day for his home In Seattle without signing a next year's contract. How ever. it is believed he will return here next year matter how loyal and game the Bostonians may be. If the Giants and Red Sox meet and both are in the same sort of condition that enabled them to niake such brilliant geason's rec ords. the world’s series is bound to be worth while. Personally, I think the Red Sox the better of the two teams. , To., my mind, they have proved as much by going through the whole season without one se rious slump. I think that in a long race like a season's champion ship of 154 games the Giants would suffer greatly by comparison. But a world's championship series and a 154-game series are different prop ositions. Batteries Will Count Mort. Usually—other things being at all equal—this short dash puts it right up to the batteries. More than ever will battery strength fig ure in this fall's big series. Outside these points the teams shape up as of about equal strength. The Red Sox lay it all ove/ the Giants in the matter of outfield strength. Boston boasts the greatest garden trio of the game. But New York fully equalizes this in the infield. McGraw has an exceptionally classy inner defense; Boston’s first line Is not brilliant. Larry Gardner, at third, is the best of the lot, and there are three or more third basemen in his own company that are ranked higher than the Boston man. But the in field four of the Speed Boys cover a multitude of sins by heavy stick work. Every one of them is a slugger. Heine Wagner is almost as much of a terror as his illus trious namesake of the Pirates. Jake Stahl is a fence buster. In defensive speed and skill New York undoubtedly lays it over Boston’s infield. However, the Hub's supe rior hitting power and the outfield advantages make it just about a toss-up. I speak now- of the short sefies. it's pretty nearly a question of pitching, then. Both teams have wonderful catchers. Meyers. M< Graw’s classy Indian backstop, has nothing on Carrigan, except pel haps a shade in hitting ability. It is bis superior strength in the box that should give Stahl a shade ad vantage at the start. He has five rattling good tossers, any- one of whom is likely to make McGraw s best step to the limit—Joe Wood. Bedient, Hall. O'Brien and Col lins. Wood Has Heap of Speed. Wood is one of the most won derful pitchers of the age. He Is a speed marvel of the Walter Johnson type. Bedient is another fast ball pitcher, and a dandy, too. Hall is a good curve ball manipu lator. "Bucky” O’Brien, just rounding into effectiveness for the first time this season, is one of the greatest spitball flingers in the big league. Ray Collins is a south paw, and a crackajack, too. Nev. York will have the time of its life beating any one of . these five pitchers, unless the Giant toss ers fling shut-out bail. New York never has seen such speed as Wood will show, O’Brien is a better spitball tosser than Hendrix, of the Pirates. Collins is the best left hander in the American league. Against this brilliant array of box talent the Giants will have to stack Mathewson. Marquard and Tesreau. And of the three. Tes teau looms up as the great hope. Strangely enough, the Red Sox fear this green, inexpeiienced tosser more than they fear Matty or the Rube.’’ Tesreau is big enough to work every other day. if necessari and he has just the kind of a spit ball that the Red Sox do not rel ish. In fact. Boston murders most anything but the spitball. BIRMINGHAM AND RETURN $2.51 Tuesday, September 17th. Specie trains leave old depot 8 a. m. SEA BOARD.
