Waiting Out Hurler Not Popular
N ABHVILLF, TENN. Aur. 25.—
Already the thump of the plg-
\ skin has been heard on Dudley
I Field, Assistant Coach Owsley M«*
nler having four of the Commodores
■ out every afternoon of last week tor
tight practice. Roaring Ammte Sikes,
Yunk" Huggins and Captain Nuck
Brown composed the quartet of
j Vandy gridiron stars who cracked
; the 1813 football season open
The Commodores’ first schedule
game is with Maryville on October
I. and will only give Vanderbilt a
j food work-out. for the East Tennes
see college is little more than a prep
§c*hool. 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 nurprlse which Au
burn sprung last year in holding the
1 Commodores to a 7 to 7 tie. Coach
ftfcOugin decided upon n plan of an
nihilating everything In the South
this season, and after washing the
slate 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
ill over the Virginians on Dudley
Field, for this time there won’t be
•ny Lewie Hardage to crumple the
enemy’s line
Neither will the fleet Wilnon Collin*
be back, nor Rabbi Robbins, but leave
It to McGugin to dig up somebody to
All these glaring holes in the Com
modores' baokfleld, and rip the Char
lottesville line apart.
It’s the Auburn game which Van
derbllt is looking forward to with
more interest than even the Turkey
Day battle with the Sewanee Tlger>,
for the sting of that 7 to 7 tie still
rankles in the Commodores' crew,
find 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

AROLND THE CORNER
JES PLACE,
lO E.
ALABAMA
By Bill Bailey.
C HICAGO, Aug. 25.—Woe be unto
that young pitcher who gets the
Impression that he can sneak
over the llrst 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 (‘an wager that the South
Side batter will take a healthy wallop
at It.
Likewise, let the youngster who
“grooves" on** when he Is In the hole
in the hope of evening the count pre
pare to duck.
Because, .lust as sure as that ball
is "grooved" will the South Side bat
ter take a heulthv swing. And Harry
Lord will swing If the count he thr^e
balls and no strikes.
Which, simmered down, means that
the Sox do not play the old army
game. Waiting out a pitcher is fine
business, according to their 19151
method of reasoning, if the pitcher
Is known to be wild. But "swat when
its over" is one of the rule*
of Manager Callahan when his team
is against a twlrler known to possess
control.
Hits First Ball Pitched.
Hal Chase has driven out three
doubles in two days Every one of
his lilts* 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 wdth the
bases filled in the seventh inning of
the same gan e. It was on the first
ball pitched.
Remember how the Sox of old
played It? If one of their number had
swung into the first hall 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
wr m n recruit w ho didn't pos&ess 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 Indicates that he is wild, then
wait him out. If the weather Is
beastly hot and you think you can
wear a twlrler down, then wait him
out. But if the twlrler has control,
what Is gained by waiting? You have
to hit.
Tries to Sneak It Over.
"Frequently a pitcher trie* to sneak
over a etrlke on the first ball pitched.
That's the one to crack. The chances
Eire 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
the count of two baWs 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 halls and no strikes on the
batter. The pitcher wants to get a
strike on the batter and he’s going to
put that hall square over and without
a thing on it. If you let it pass, then
the count is two and one and the
pitcher Is as good as you are.
"Suppose, with 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 gamest fellows in the business
when It comes to wielding that hat.
and he’ll swing with the count of
three balls and no strikes. irJome
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 swings under
those conditions.

Tort Capon! meets .lack Dillon at
Winnipeg. Canada, on September 15 for
ten rounds
C HICAGO, ILL., Aug. 25.—Johnny
Couion is roughing it in the
Canadian wilds. The Chicago
bantamweight declare a 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.
Couion has not engaged in a ring
contest since he fought Frankie
Burns, of Jersey City. It will he re
membered that Burns held Couion
even for ten rounds and that the
"go” was declared a draw by the
newspaper experts who saw the
ba ttle.
Burns made things so interesting
for Couion 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
trtiin properly for his contest with
Burns.
• • •
Y\7 HEX Couion 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 Couion.
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.
* • •
T F Couion does not start boxing until
* November. Williams 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 116 pounds in the fall, Cou
ion will probably be forced to give
the Baltimore star a chance at the
title.
Byrne and Camnitz
Traded for Doian
PHILADELPHIA, PA., Aug. 25.-—
Manager Dooin. of the Phillies, has
traded to the Pittsburg team Albert
Dolan, his crack utility player, and
third baeeman and a sum of money,
for Bobby Byrne and Pitcher Howard
Camnlt*
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 smocessor to Hans
when that player retired from the
game.
Bvrne. w hile 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.

Not Man to Lead Federal League
By 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 be up to their necks In 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
he figured that Horace Fogel, of
Philadelphia, was slated for the
league presidency.
* • •
THIS statement may or may not
* have been made with some basis
of fact, but it looks 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 tht
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, which wasn’t a
very good thing for Horace and really
didn’t cause even a slight dent on
organized baseball.
• • •
J UST now we are cheerful enough
to believe that there is a whole
lot in that twisted little axiom that
reads: "Boost and the world boosts
with you; knock, and you knock
alone." Some pessimists may he 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
