Some of the names that are new to the or dinary football Vans are names of men who for two or three years have been playing on scrub teams or as substitutes on the varsity. Those who are absolutely new at Vanderbilt have all had a slather of prep school training. McGugin has a team that is al ready made. Now, take Georgia: Coach Cun ningham this year had about the largest amount of first-class mate rial, physically and of potential playing possibility, that has ever fallen to the lot of a Southern coach. At the same time there isn't anything quite so difficult to whip into a team as a slather of un trained men. For instance, he might have five men who seem ideally fitted to play the center po sition. Yet not one of the five is ready to .lump in and play a pol ished game at the position. So five good candidates aren't half as use ful, especially for an early game, as one trained performer. For the Closing game of the season Cun ningham should have a well trained team. Whether or not it is possi ble to get one ready for a game at the middle of October remains to be demonstrated. If he doesn’t, it is no discredit. If he does, he will have performed one of the most re markable feats ever accomplished cauliflowers ears at one Queens berry assemblage in England's cap ital last year. Costumes May Come Next. Either the innovation had a con trary effect to the one desired or the supply of boxers gave out, for there has not been a high-grade glove contest in London for many a moon. Mclntosh’s next circular will be awaited with interest. If his new scheme thrives, the boxing show girl of the future may class with the horse show girl of the past. Then the editoresses of the ladies’ columns will be expected to furnish hints as to correct costumes for Queensberry matinees. And in the meantime it looks as though a lady patron of Mclntosh’s temple of thumpology will have to acquire perfect pose in order to en joy fisticuffs and the cup that cheers at one and the same time. Otherwise the spectacle of a ring man being suddenly up-ended by a violent clout may cause her to up set the brew and spoil her gown. Speaking of Paul Til recalls that Mclntosh is importing French box ers in fair-sized lots. At the time of his last circle the Parisian box ing colony in Sidney consisted of Til and Bernstein, lightweights, and Audouy, Truffier and Balzac, wel tei weights. The last named claims to be a direct descendant of Hon ey Balzac, the famous French au thor. . The coming season's boxing in Sidney will certainly have a French i flavor. And yet it does not seem j so very long since the popular idea was that the Frenchman could not inflict a corkscrew punch unless permitted to use his feet. IF RULES ARE CHANGED NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—Sir Thomas Lipton, who arrived by the steamer <’at onia yesterday, said he proposed to discuss with the New York Yacht club officials terms under which he might challenge for the international yacht ing trophy which he has thrice vainly tried to lift. "I am always ready to challenge." said the Englishman, "and if the New York Yacht club would modify the rule 1 requiring the challenging boat to cross the Atlantic on its own bottom. I be liece 1 could build a boat to hold her own with any American-built boat of the same type, style and weight. If 1 built a freak boat and sail her across, they will build a lighter one here to beat me. There is no sport in that.” Sir Thomas said if he built another challenger he would name her the Shamrock IV. He said he had won 23 out of 29 races in which he had com | peted in European waters. "Yachting i as a pastime in England is falling off," | lie said, "but in Germany it is becom- I ing more and more popular. At Kiel , this year I saw the finest yacht races I 1 ever witnessed, with as many as 129 I boats in one race." DENVER TRIMS MILLERS AND CAPTURES SERIES DENVER. COLO., Oct. 14.- The Den ver Western league club Won the minor '. ague championship by defeating Min neapolis, the American association pen nant winner, yesterday, in the fifth and final game of the series, 4 to 3. This victory gave the Denver club four out of the five games played. ST. LOUIS TEAMS PLAY TIE IN THE CITY SERIES ST.

To the Vanderbilters every one of these three games is of more im portance than the Georgia game. If the Nashville players are in top notch condition for the Georgia game, they will go stale long be fore they get to Cambridge for the game which Is supremely impor tant to them—the Harvard contest. A lot of McGugin’s success has been due to the excellent physical condition he keeps his men in. You seldom hear of a Vanderbilt player being overtrained. He keeps his men in this condition by requiring only light work. Except when heavy work is necessary—and that is in an occasional scrimmage and in a game. You can put it down as an abso lute certainty ’ that the Vanderbilt players will ndt be absolutely fit and hard for the Georgia game. And condition is surely a big part of the battle in a close game. The Georgia football schedule is so arranged that Coach Cunning ham is taking no big chance in bringing his men up to the finest condition for this game. With Tan dy out of the way. the Athenians play Alabama. Sewanee and Clem son. All three of them should be easy games, unless Sewanee shows surprising and unexpected strength. In fact. Coach Cunningham will not have to make any big preparations for a game until that of November 16. when Tech will be the Athen ians’ opponent. Coach Cunningham can get his men fit for Vanderbilt, let them go stale, and then bring them around again before any ex treme exertions will be needed. ... A NY WAY you figure this Satur * day’s contest, it should be a great game. The Red and Black has the chance of its career to pol ish off the Commodores and to win the football championship of the South. If Cunningham and his men can “get by” Saturday they will not be headed this season. They have the material and the men will be in condition. They have been taught all the football that they could pos sibly assimilate in the shot' time they have been training. Can they overcome the team that, year after year, has swept the best in the South before it? It’s a puz zle. But there'll be something doing while they’re solving it.

DENNISON, Sec y and Treas. JOHN E. FREEMAN ANDREW CRANFORD GEO. STALLINGS SIGNS WITH BRAVES FOR 5 YEARS AT SIO,OOO PER BOSTON, MASS., Oct. 14—George Stallings has signed to manage the Boston Nationals team. His contract runs for five years. This deal has been on for weeks, but was. hung up tight because Stallings refused to sign for a one-year contract. He claimed that there was no chance to build up the club in one year and that his only hope was to have several years to put the Braves in the running. He said he did not care to get a good framework built and then tn see the club turned over to some other man ager. Evidently he won his point, for his contract is ironclad and runs for five years. it is reported that Stallings is to get SIO,OOO a year for his services. HEITMULLER IS DEAD; HIS TEAM IS VICTIM OF TYPHOID EPIDEMIC LOS ANGELES. Oct. 14.—Following close upon the death of Outfielder “Heinie” Heitmuller, comes the infor mation that the entire Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast league is threatened with typhoid fever and the fear is entertained that the team may be wiped out by an epidemic. Captain Dillon reluctantly admitted this fact late last night when inter viewed by a reporter. “Yes. it's true that the boys are badly scared,” said Dillon. "Hughey Smith is bedridden with typhoid, while Walter Slagle. ’Bill’ Tozer and myself are sick and out of the game. Many of the boys are complaining of feeling ill. and. for the time being, we are what you might call 'all shot to pieces.' ” SECRET PRACTICE FOR VANDY BEFORE GA. GAME NASHVILLE, TENN., Oct. 14.—Secret practice has begun at Vanderbilt in prep aration for the Georgia game in Atlanta Saturday. Coach McGugin has never followed the Eastern practice of waiting to the last month of the season to bring his team up to its fighting edge, and this year more than ever he is pushing matters ~n a.- count of the fact that one of'his hardest games comes so early in the season. What happened at the secret practice in the way of developing new plays is a matter that only the coaches and the players know. It is possible, however, that Georgia will have an opportunity to find out, as the Commodores are expect ing to have to let themselves out to the fullest to win from Cunningham’s men. CHARLESTON FISHER GETS TWO DIAMONDS IN CATCH CHARLESTON, S. C.. Qct. 14.—Fred Shriver hooked in Charleston harbor today a sheepshead fish which had a three-stone diamond ring in one of its gills and a seven-stone diamond ring in its stomach. Wrestling Champion Forsakes Mat; to Winter on the Pacific Coast HORRORS OF TRAIN I Nfi HAVE PUT BOTCH ON SHELF By Ed. W. Smith. Chicago, Oct. H;—The mat game will know its greatest exponent, Frank Gotch. no more. The absolute horrors of training outweigh in the Gotch mind the love—or need, as the case may be —of money. In other words, the champion will attempt to worry along now on what he has accumu lated—and live in peace and quiet. Also he will live without the tor ture of having to think that with in a certain time he will have to start the hideous grind of going “on the road” to get himself fit for a hard match. Dante never pictured worse for ture or harrowed a soul with more frightful ideas of an inferno than Gotch entertains about training. It's a strange situation, but a true one, nevertheless. And other athletes who have reached a cer tain age after troublous years of the grind talk in much the same strain as does Gotch. Ask Jack Johnson and he will tell you, if he is in the mood. Gotch Afraid of Grind. The other day I ran into Gotch in a downtown hotel. It was the first time I had seen him since last FODDER FOR FANS The Athletics, champions of Philadel phia anyhow, are going to Cuba for a twelve-game series. Doubtless lhey have designs on the championship of the Un easy Republic. * * * Dayton baseball writers claim that Marty Krug, utility man of the Red Sox, stands suspended by their ball club. They allege that he signed with Dayton under the name of Martin Craig; that he jumped, and that the suspension put on him then has never been raised. ♦ * ♦ Larry Lajeune, of Grand Rapids, and last year of Chattanooga, led the Cen tral league in hitting this year. His mark was .361 If he had shown a lit tle of that for the Lookouts, things would looked mighty different for Bill Smith. * • • Brown Keene, of Springfield, ham mered the ball .323 this year in the Cen tral. Shaughnessey. the old Clemson coach, put a mark of 303 to his credit. Greminger, former Montgomery manager, hit .283 for Canton., ''Punch'' Knoll, the old Nashville outfielder, now manager of Dayton, hit .281. Arlsto DeHaven, for mer Cracker outfielder, was up to his old tricks, with a mark of .250 . . • Joe Cgntillion says this of the world's series games: “The boys all have their eyes peeled so wide for the gate re ceipts that' they play .everything safe. There is none of the slap-dash play that makes baseball interesting.' There is something to this. too. They certainly play everything mighty safe. ... Hot joke on President Lynch, of the National league: He forgot the rule that tie games must be played off in the city where they were played, and started to beat it for New York after Wednes- fall, when he wrestled Hacken schmidt here. (Tad in a woolly overcoat and under a heavy cloth hat. the lowa star looked as fat and sleek as a retired business man whose one aim was to extract most of the good things out of this life. 1 joshed the champion fpr his appearance, but he simply took off the coat and then gave me a survey. Has Quit For All Time. "I'm but little heavier than 1 was a year ago,” he said. “It’s the coat, I guess." Gotch has just closed up the fall work on the farm and is easting about now for something else to occupy his time. But a sugges tion about wrestling again brought out the old Gotch smile and his eyes narrowed down to little slits as he thought about it. “No more for me," he blurted out. "Did you ever conceive some hideous idea of Hades? Well, I've got some hideous ideas, too, but they're all about training. The hereafter doesn't bother me so much. Many Hard, Hard Weeks.

Secretary Heydler. acting for the national commission. was deputed to inform Mayor Fitzgerald that they could not sell him a block of 300 -seats. "All right, then.” said Mayor Fitzgerald, "there’ll not be any series. I'll revoke the license of the fled SoxT He got tlie 300 tickets Some day the bromidic photographers will can this stuff about making the rival world's series managers, rival football captain amt rival automobile drivers shake hands to be photographed—some day. They ought to get thirty days for it. * ♦ * If the world's series has a single hero this year, who is he? • • • Many papers have criticised the na tional commission for its ruling that tie games count among th? games in which the players get their share. Such criti cism is rot. If ' this were not so there would be an incentive to make every game a tie, which wouldn't be a very healthy incentive, at $50,000 a game. ♦ » . The Denver team, rendered chesty by its defeat of the American association champions, has challenged the winners of the world's series. Os course the Red Sox will accept—like a fish. • * * The national commission is said to be so sore over the yelp of the players be cause the tie game in Boston counted as one of their four that they talk of abol ishing the serise. This series means an average of something better than $3.508 for every player who takes part hut that isn't enough fort of a nice place, I think of the wrestling game and wonder how it would be to start cut again. Say, the chills just begin to creep all over me when I fancy those six weeks, or maybe it would have to be eight weeks this time, of work that would be necessary to get me into condition. “Now. I've had unpleasant things come up in my life, and later on, when I think of them, I try to think that wouldn’t be so hard to go through them again. That’s the way with most of us, 1 guess. But with training it is vastly dif ferent. The tortures of training never w ill be erased from my mem ory. Money Was Well Earned. "People say I get my money easy because it was just natural for me to wrestle well and I have all of the natural qualifications. I wish these people knew the truth. It's the hardest money man ever got. "They are scolding me in some quarters because I don’t wrestle Zbysco again. They may keep on scolding. I don't care. I beat him once; don't doubt that I could do so again, but 1 haven't the slight est inclination to try it. That’s final, and I don’t care how strong you make it. "Soon after Christmas we are going nut to California. In the southern part of the state I’m go ing to pick out a little patch of land that isn't too expensive and I'll buy it for a winter home. Mrs. Gotch is wild about orange and lemon trees and wants them in the front yard. That’s the kind of a place I'll get. To Spend Summer in lowa. "I'll have somebody run It the year round, because in the sum mer well return to lowa and at tend to business there. That’s what 1 call an ideal arrangement. “Wrestle again and again? Ouch, hut it makes me shudder,” and Gotch acted as if he meant it. This is the best answer that can be made to Jack Herman and his earnest efforts to get a Gotch match for Zbysco. $3.40 $3.40 ROUND TRIP to MACON, GA. via.
