Roaring Ammie Sikes, "Yunk” Huggins and Captain Nuck Brown composed the quartet of Vandy gridiron stars who cracked the 1913 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- #*ee 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 a 7 to 7 tie. Coach McGugin decided upon a plan of an nihilating everything In the South Ihis season, and after washing the Mate 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 al! over the Virginians on Dudley Field for this time there won’t be any Lewie Hardage to crumple the enemy’s line Neither will the fleet Wilson Collin® be back, nor Rabbi Robbins, but leave it to McGugin to dig up somebody to fill these glaring holes In the Com modores' backfield, 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 tio still rankles in the Commodores' crew, and it should bf worth traveling miles to see McGugin lead hla 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. “Swat the Ball,” Cry of Callahan *1* • *F »'••*!* •!•#+ +•+ •!* • -F Waiting Out Hurler Not Popular Bv Bill Bailor. C HICAGO, Aug. 25. Woe be unto that young pitcher who gets the 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 is in the hole in the hope of evening the count pre pare to duck Because just as sure as that ball Is "grooved" will the South Side hat 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 old armv game. Waiting out a pitcher is tine business, according to their 1913 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 tw irier known to possess control. Hits First Ball Pitched. Hal Chase has driven out three doubles In two days*. Every one of his hits* 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 flrs*. ball pitched. Remember how the Sox of old played It? If one of their number had swung into the first ball pitched there would have been a neat' riot on the bench. They ran the count to three, whether it was a Walter Johnson with perfect control or whether Tt wes 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 Indicates that he is wild, then I wait him out. If the weather is | beastly hot and you think you can wear a twirier down, then wait him out. But if the twirier has control, what is gained by waiting? You have to hit. Tries to Sneak It Over. "Frequently a pitcher tries to sneak over a strike 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 the count of two balls 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 batter. 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 is two and one and the pitcher is an good ns 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 gamept 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 swings under those conditions. 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 lias not engaged in a ring contest since he fought Frankie Burns, of Jersey City. It will he 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. \ 17 HEN Coulon enters a ring again. 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.

Toni Caponl meets Jack Dillon at Winnipeg Canada, on September 15 for ten rounds. Byrne and Camnitz Traded for Dolan C HICAGO, Aug. 25.—They let Jonn 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 ba'seball presidents are supposed to be up to their necks In work—be cause. the other officials of the league said Powers had overworked him seif. 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. of a league that is ever so much de pendent upon the good graces of the baseball fans. OVY they are claiming that our old friend, King Cole, late of Michigan, and several other places, is due for another trip into the major leagues next season. Hooray for the King, if that is so. but it looks much as if the barber twirier is due merely for a Dial by the Pirate crew, which hardly would have let him go with out a string attached if he showed the slightest bit of worth at all when the Cub-Pirate deal that inv ’ved Artie Hofman and Cole came' off. Fred Clarke is too wise a scout to see anything like that come off. TTHIS 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 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 lie was tossed out. which wasn’t a very good thing’for Horace and really didn’t cause even a slight dent on organized baseball. HOUSTON TO MEET GULLS IN POST-SEASON SERIES MOBILE, Aug. 25.—Arrangements are being made for a series of games at the close of the Southern League season betw’een Mobile and the Hous ton. Texas, club. The games will be played for a purse and excursions will be run from both cities. ED SMITH MAY PURCHASE DENVER BASEBALL CLUB DENVER, COLO.. Aug. 25.—Ed Smith, sporting editor of The Chi cago American, is in Denver to buy the Denver club of the Western League. He held a long conference with James C. McGill, the owner, last night, but neither would make any definite statement as to the progress of the negotiations. PHILADELPHIA, PA.. Aug. 25.— Manager Dooin. of the Phillies has 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 Camnitz. 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 Mattick. of the local American League club, have been traded to the Kansas City club of the American Association for Short stop Breton.

Fans are puzzled by the Plttsburg- Philadelphia deal by which the Pirates gave up Pitcher Camnitz and Inflelder Bobby Byrne to the Phillies. In return the Pirates get Dolan, who has been cn the utility list this season. Fifteen consecutive victories are now charged up to the credit of Pitcher Walter Johnson, of the Washington Sen ators, as a result of the Senators’ vic tory over the White Sox yesterday. Some doubt has been expressed as to the exact rwimber of wins officially ac credited to Johnson, but the list of President Johnson, of the Amelrcan League, shows it is fifteen.
