Waiting Out Hurler Not Popular
N ashville, tenn., Aug. 25.—
Already the tlmnip of the pig
skin has been heard on Dudley
Field, Assistant Coach Owsley Ma
nner having four of the Commodores
out every afternoon of last week for
light practice. Roaring Ammie Sikes,
“funk” Huggins and Captain Nuck
Brown composed the quartet of
'Candy gridiron stars who cracked
the 19111 football season open.
The Commodores’ first schedule
game is with Maryville on October
4. and will only give Vanderbilt a
good work-out. for the East Tennes
see college is little more than a prep
school. The rules committee In form
ing this season’s schedule has ad
hered to a very conservative policy,
eliminating the usual big Eastern
game. After the surprise which Au
burn sprung last year in holding the
Commodores to r 7 to 7 tie. Coach
McGugin decided upon u plan of an-
I Ihilating everything in the South
this season, and after washing the
llate clean, to go after the big elevens
In the East.
McGugin isn’t looking for any snap
with the Princeton eleven, despite the
fact that the Commodores romped
all over the Virginians on Dudley
Field, for this time there won’t be
any Lewie Hardage to crumple the
enemy’s line.
Kelt her will the fleet Wilson Collins
be back, nor Rabbi Robbins, but leave
It to McGugin to dig up somebody to
fill these glaring holes In the Com
modores’ baokfield. and rip the Char
lottesville line apart.
It’s the Auburn game which Van
derbilt is looking forward to with
more interest than even the Turkey
Day battle with the Sewanee Tigers,
for the sting of that 7 to 7 tie still
rankles in the Commodores’ crew,
and It should be worth traveling
miles to see McGugin lead his men
against the Tech eleven.
The Thanksgiving struggle with
Sewanee will close the schedule, one
of the best Vanderbilt has had in
years, since all the games, with the.
exception of the Virginia and Auburn
battles, will be on Dudley Field.

ALABAMA
iirm
By Bill Bailey.
HICAGO, Aug. 25.—Woe be unto
that young pitcher who gets tht
impression that he can sneak
over the first ball pitched for a strike
when he is facing the White Sox. If
he has that impression and carries
it out let him prepare to duck. Be
cause you can wager that the South
Side hatter will take a healthy wallop
at it.
Likewise, let the youngster who
“grooves” one when he In the hole
in the hope of evening the count pre
pare to duck.
Because, just as sure as that hall
in “grooved" will the South Side bat
ter take a healthy swing And Harry
Lord will swing If the count be three
balls and no strikes.
Which, simmered down, means that
the Sox do not play the >*ld army
gams Waiting OUt ft pitcher 1| fine
business', according tu their , 1918
method of reasoning, if the pitcher
is known to be wild. But “swat when
it's over’’ is one of the rules
of Manager Callahan when his team
is against a twirier known to possess
control.
Hits First Ball Pitched.
Hal Chase has driven out three
doubles In two day a Every one of
his hit. 4 ' was on the first ball pitched.
Joe Berger cracked out a double in
the sixth, round of the second game
between the Sox and the Red Sox.
It was on the first ball pitched. Lar
ry Chappelle smote a double with the
bases filled in the seventh inning of
the same game. It was on the firs’
ball pitched.
Remember how the Sox of old
played it? If one of their number had
swung into the first bull pitched there
would have been a near riot on the
bench. They ran the count to three,
whether it was a Walter Johnson
with perfect control or whether it
wen a recruit who didn’t possess It.
Not so these days Nor Is Manager
Callahan without an argument on his
side.
“Why handicap yourself by allow
ing the pitcher to get you in the
hole?” queries* the manager. "If a
pitcher indicate® that ho is wild, then
wait him out. If the weather is
beastly hot and you think you can
wear a twirler down, then wait him
out. But If the twirler has control,
what is gained by waiting? You have
to hit.
Tries to Sneak It Over.
“Frequently a pitcher tries to sneak
over a ."trike on the first ball pitched.
That's the one to crack. The chances
are that there Is nothing on it. If you
let it go by. you are in the hole prop
er, because he can pitch you balls just
a bit Inside or a bit outside and you
are afraid to let them go by. yet
you can't get a good solid crack.’’
With men on bases the South Side
fellows are under instructions to hit
ihe count of two halls and no strikes.
Here is the way the manager figures
that
"Supposing that there is a man on
second and the pitcher is in the hole
with two balls and no strikes on the
hatter. The pitcher wants to get a
strike on the batter and he’s going to
put that ball square over and without
a thing on It. If you let it pass, then
the count if* two and one and the
pitcher is as good us you are.
“Suppose, w'th a good pitcher, you
work the count to two and three. A
good pitcher will curve that ball just
as surely as he Is standing on the
mound.
"The pitchers have too much nerve
these days to stand up and pitch a
straight one square across simply be
cause they have to put It over."
How Lord Sees It.
This Harry Lord is probably one of
the game«t fellows in the business
when It comes to wielding that bat.
and he’ll swing with the count of
three balls and no strikes. Some
managers will tell you that is bad
business.
“Why Is it?" queries Lord. “The
pitcher is trying to put it over. There
isn't a thing on the ball, and your
chances of getting a base hit are
better."
Of course there must be a man on
base before the captain sw ings under
those conditions.
RINGSIDE NOTES
Jimmy Johnston, manager of the St.
1 Nicholas A. C . who is promoting the
1 1‘alr.er-Moran bout on September 3, has
announced a plan which should make
this mill one of the best of the season.
It is his purpose to match the winner
l wirti Gunboat Smith and says he will
offer $8,000 for the set to.
• * •
George Gunther lias been barred from
boxing in France until August 22 for
having worn prohibitive bandages when
he boxed Georges Carpentier. What are
“prohibitive bandages" is what the
sports would like to know.
* • •
Terry Nelson, local Greek lightweight,
is wearing a brand new' hat these days.
Terry found a $5-bill and at once in
vested it in a new lid Terry evidently
needed one.
• * *
The French boxing promoters did not
fall for Jack Johnson's “bunk’’ in regard
to his making Paris his future home.
Apparently y makes little difference to
them where urn "Big Smudge" resides.
Young Shugrue and Young Brown
have been matched to don the padded
mitts for a scheduled ten-round bout at
New York on Labor Day. They are to
weigh 135 pounds at 3 o'clock.

Reports from the coast state that
Jim Jeffries has offered to train Ad
Wolgast for his future fights.

Tom Capon! meets Jack Dillon at
Winnipeg. Canada, on September 15 for
ten rounds.
C HICAGO, ILL.. Aug. 25.—Johnny
Coulon Is roughing it in the
Canadian wilds. The Chicago
bantamweight declares his health has
improved a great deal during the past
month and that he will be ready to
defend his "title" by the part of Sep
tember or early in October.
Coulon has not engaged in a ring
contest since he fought Frankie
Burns, of Jersey City. It will be re
membered that Burns held Coulon
even for ten rounds and that the
"go" was declared a draw by the
newspaper experts who saw the
battle.
Burns made things so interesting
for Coulon that the latter was forced
to go to a hospital after the bout.
He claimed he was bothered with
stomach trouble and was unable to
train properly for his contest with
Burns.
\V 7 HEN Coulon enters a ring again.
vv he will be forced to meet ‘•kid’’
Williams, of Baltimore. Williams has
proved that he is one of the classiest
bantamweights in the business and is
the logical opponent for Coulon.
Wise Johnny will probably demand
that the match be at 116 pounds
ringside. He can make this weight
himself as he very seldom scales
more than 112 pounds. Williams, on
the other hand, is a big bantam
weight. He experienced great dif
ficulty in making low weight several
months ago and has got bigger since
then.
I F Coulon does not start boxing until
A November. William.-- may then be
a full-fledged featherweight. There
fore, he would not be able to secure
a match with the Windy City lad.
If Williams proves that he is able
to make ll6 pounds In the fall, Cou
lon will probably be forced to give
the Baltimore star a chance at the
title.
Byrne and Camnitz
Traded for Dolan
PHILADELPHIA, PA.. Aug. 25.—
Manager Dooin. of the Phillies. ha3
traded to the Pittsburg team Albert
Dolan, his crack utility player, and
third baseman and a sum of money,
for Bobby Byrne and Pitcher Howard
Ca mnitz.
The Phillies have given up a fine
youngster, who had no chance to play
because Lobert is going so well this
season The fans had looked upon
him as the logical successor to Hans
when that player retired from the
game.
Byrne, while he is a star, is slow
ing up and Camnitz has done noth
ing to show that he will be of serv
ice to a major league team again.
SOX SIGN NEW SHORTSTOP.
CHICAGO. Aug. 25.—Pitcher Lange
and Outfielder Mattiek, of the local
American League club, have been
traded to the Kansas City club of
the American Association for Short
stop Breton. The trade becomes ef
fective at once.

Not Man to Lead Federal League
Bv Ed W. Smith.
C HICAGO, Aug. 25.—They let John
T. Powers, president of the
Federal League, down nice and
easy the other day when they said
that he had been given a vacation
for the remainder of the season—
when baseball presidents are supposed
to b^ up to their necks '.n work—be
cause. the other officials of the league
said Powers had overworked himself.
From the standpoint of an outsider
this should be tip enough for Powers
to take his little dose of medicine
calmly and without a grimace. But
he had to come back with a little
joke. He announced immediately that
ho figured that Horace Fogel, of
Philadelphia, was slated for the
league presidency.
• • •
TTHIS statement may or may not
* have been made with some basis
of fact, but it lqoks very much as
if Powers, no longer In the councils
of the inner circle of Federal League
backers, was merely guessing when
he pulled that bon mot. Federal
League leaders, in their dual hunt for
public favor and a new leader, could
hardly expect the former with the
accession to the office of Fogel. The
deposed Horace, who got his from the
National League officials because of
certain disagreeable mixups. could not
be expected to command the public
respect the presidency of a league
is supposed to carry. Fogel rapped
everything in organized baseball after
he was tossed out, w’hich wasn’t a
very good thing for Horace and really
didn’t cause even a slight dent on
organized baseball.
• » •
J l’ST now we are cheerful enough
to believe that there is a whole
lot in that twisted little axiom that
reads: "Boo9t and the world boosts
with you; knock, and you knock
alone." Some pessimists may be in
clined to twist this still further and
believe that the world Is more in
clined to knock than to boost, but we
don't feel that way about It. Fogel s
raps never were discussed much by
the baseball fans and the effect was
lost. Unless Horace has changed
his Ideas a whole lot he wouldn’t
make much of a success as president

Naps, has come out with the freak
prophecy that his team will beat out
the Athletics for the American League
pennant.
