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.

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.

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. * • • Jim Buckley, manager of Gunboat Smith, does n->t believe in giving boxers a rest after,a hard battle He offers to match Smith with any man in the world In three weeks. * • e Jimmy Mason. manager of Buck Crouse, was Just beginning to clinch a number of bouts for his middleweight when word was received that Buck had been sentenced to three months on the chaingang in Panama for assaulting an officer. • * * 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.

VOU FcU-CVUf/OO ME ’ Fogel Down and Out in Baseball •{•••!- 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 SCRATCH' if you only knew how qulrkly and nasilj •ptteriue eures e<z«raa, even where everything lav falls, you wouldn’t suffer and scratch.
