The local club team has been ing for six weeks and has l„en training more rigorously than usual. Lack of training has been the cause of most of the A. A. C.’s weakness in years past. Than Joe Bean there is no better basket ball c.mch in Dixie, and no club offers mare or better material than the Ineal athletic club. The trouble has always been that many of the play r< were unwilling to undergo the rigors of hard training, and in con sequence were not able to stand up under the hard gruelling of a long game. This year Coach Bean has a lot of natural athletes to work with, men who are almost always in the top-not< h condition, and lie lias worked them to the limit. Dirk Jemison will referee the game and Albert Blanchard will umpire. The game will start at 8:30. After it is over, a dance In honor of the visitors will be given.

The w hirr of the riders round the saucer-shaped track, the bark of the hot dog vendejs. the cries of the gallery gods and all the other sounds that go with the annual six day bicycle race will soon be heard in Madison Square Garden. Before the last spectator at the Gibbons-McGoorty bout bad passed out of the historic building, a small army of carpenters entered the big arena and built the big skimming dish. The contractor who built the track was pledged to complete it in 24 hours, and turned the amazing trick. This enabled the riders to try out the boards before the crack of the pistol sent them away in competition, f'ounting the riders for the endurance test and those who took part in the preliminary sprint races, the total is close to the five-score mark. The track presents a different ap pearance this year from what it did in the past. For one thing, the banks are much steeper than here tofore, and the sweep into the stretches is much wider, rendering the track safer. Men in Fine Condition. All of the international stars who have been training at the Newark Velodrome arc in the height of con dition. It is doubtful if ever there was a better conditioned bunch en tered for the big annual event in cycling. The mild weather of the past few weeks enabled the men to NO BATTLE IN THE EAST FOR VANDY NEXT YEAR Nashville, tenn.. Dec. 7. The makers of the 1913 sched ule for Vanderbilt apparently have no intention of sending the Commodores into a clash with any of the big Eastern elevens next, year. It isn’t because they fear defeat, or any of that sort of thing, but an altogether different reason is responsible for the idea of con fining Vanderbilt's battles to South ern teams. When a contract was made with Virginia to play in Nashville this season, it was with the under standing that the 1913 game would be played in Charlottesville. Should the Commodores fix a date for a scrap with Harvard, Yale or any one else north of Mason and Dixon’s line, the game would have to cqme either on the Saturday previous or just after the Old Dominion affair The sharps who are framing up the fighting dates for Vanderbilt think that any -qch arrangements as above would necessitate too much time spent on Mr. Pullman’s justly execrated sleepers. There is still another reason which nitty or may not have shaped tlie committee’s plans.

Frank Kramer, the world's cham pion, will try to add to his laurels this year by winning the indoor sprint championship of the world. This rider has won the American ti tle twelve years in succession. There isn’t an absentee of any note whatsoever from the ranks of the men who are billed to contest the distribution of the prizes this year. Although the big event is being held under different manage ment it will not lack anything that it possessed in previous years. The incentive is just as great, if not greater, and any changes that have been made at all fvere made with a view to benefiting the sport and competition. Record Field in Race. The field this year is larger than any that has ever competed in a six-day affair. All of the old fa vorites are entered and there will be several new faces in the field. Many of the new men are cham pions—that is. those of them that~ hail from foreign climes. Coaches Mauler and McGugin helcr a hasty executive session and adopted resolutions declaring for a return match next year right bat k in Rickwood park. Os course, they had a reason for preferring Rick wood park to Dudley field. Cer tainly they did. They were so chagrined, peeved and hopping mad they wanted to go back to Slagtown and literally beat the Au burnites into smithereens. Maybe the schedule makers don’t know anything about the coaches’ wishes, and again maybe they do. The game, financially, was a huge success, and so if’s pretty nearly certain that the Commodores will be seen in the Alabama city in a return engagement. The outlook in a nutshell is that the Red and Black team, of Ath ens, Ga., will be . allowed to tackle the Comotndores again, very likely in Atlanta. Sewanee can have the Turkey day entertainment as long as the Tiger cares to have it. A few near-football elevens will be provided in the early season to give the Commodores a chance to work the kinks out of themselves. Ami Brother-In-Law D. McGugin will very probably use his persuasive powers on Brother-In-Law F. Yost, so the hurry-up coach will bring his Wolverines to Nashville. It all •may not be exactly like this, and again it may.

Dec. 7.—Frank Har rell's opportunity to secure Frank Chance as manager of the Yankees now rests on the slender prospect of a re newal of negotiations for the transfer of Joe Tinker from Chicago to Cincinnati. And as Garry Herrmann, owner of the Reds, has announced that the Tinker deal is absolutely off. there is not much left on which to hang the hopes of New York fans who are pulling for the for mer Cui) boss to land here. Tinker lias so far abandoned hope that he will become a regular actor fellow. He starts rehearsals this week in Chicago, and says lie is going into the “legit.’’ No more vaudeville for Joe. it appears, therefore, that Farrell must look elsewhere than* to the Na tional league for a manager. Herrmann and Tinker are convinced that Charley Murphy and Johnny Evers, of the Cubs, will not listen to reason, and the grand mogul of Redland is now falling back on Chance as second choice for leader of his team.
