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 /OS' SOME MEN LAUGH When you mention manuur# service You can't cut your hair properly, neither < an you care for youf nails properly Our service R nf r ea' *4 yOU. | “THE L'TTLE WHITE SHOP 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.

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.

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.
