N ASHVILLE, TENN., Aug 25.—
Already the thump of the pig
skin has been heard on Dudley
Field, Assistant Conch Owsley Ma
uler having four of the Commodoros
out every afternoon of Inst week for
light practice. Roaring Amrnie 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
* n 4. nnd will only give Vanderbilt a
jfeood work-out. for the Hast 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 Kastern
game. After the surprise which Au
burn sprung last year in holding the
Commodores to a 7 to 7 tie, roach
McGugln decided upon a plan of an
nihilating everything in the South
this season, and after washing the
fclute clean, to go after the big elevens
In the Fast.
McGugln 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.
Neither will the fleet Wilson Collins
be back, nor Rabbi Robbins, but leave
It to McGugln to dig up somebody to
fill these glaring holes in the Com
modores' backfleld, 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 suing of that 7 to 7 tie still
rankles in the Commodores' crew,
and It should he worth traveling
miles to see McGugln lead h!s 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 \uburn
battles, will be on Dudley Field.
"Swat the Ball,” Cry of Callahan
•!•••!• •!•••!• v • *!*
Waiting Out Hurler Not Popular
By Bill Bailey.
C HICAGO, Aug. 25.—Woe be unto
that young pitcher who gets the
impression that he < ■* sneak
over the first ball pitched f. .-trike
when he is facing the Whit- If
he has that impression am. arrles
It out let him prepare to du. k. Be
cause you can wager that the Soutn
Side hatter will take a healthy wallop
at it.
Likewise, let the youngster who
“grooves” one when ho Is In the hole
In the hope of evening the count pre
pare to duck.
Because just as sure as that ball
1m “grooved" will the South Side bat
ter take a healthy s»\vlng. 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 army
game. Waiting out a pitcher is fine
business, according to their 1912
method of reasoning, if the pitcher
Is known to be wild. But “swat when
it h over" is one of the rules
of Manager Callahan when hie team
Is against a twirier known to possess
control.
Hits First Ball Pitched.
Hal Chase has driven out three
doubles in two days. Every one of
his hltn was on the first ball pitched.
Joe Berger cracked out a double in
the sixth round of the s cond game
between the Sox and the Red Sox.
It was on the first ball pitched. Lar
ry Chappell* smote a double with the
bases tilled in the seventh inning of
the same game. 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 ball pitched there
would have been n near riot on the
bench. They ran the count to three,
whether it was a Walter Johnson
with perfect control or whether it
wtm 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
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 strike on the first ball pitched.
That’s the one to crack. The chances
are that there is nothing on it. If you
lei it go by, you arc 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 ther»* 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 lie’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 as good as you arc.
“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 bo-
caus«e they have to put it over.”
How Lord Sees It.
This Harry Lord is probably one of
the gainest 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 11?" queries Lord. “The
pitcher is trying to put it over. There
isn't a thing on the boll, 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 declare 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 Rurns 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.
• • •
YX7 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
bantamweight? 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
* November. Williams may then be
a full-fiedged 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
lon will probably be forced to give
the Baltimore star a chance at the
title.

for Bobby Byrne and Pitcher Howard
Ca m nitz.
The Phillies have given up a fine
youngster, who had no chance to play

season The fans had looked upon
him as the logical successor to Hans
when that player retired from the

Byrne, while he is a star, is slow

Fogel Down and Out in Baseball
*!*••!•
Not Man to Lead Federal League
By Ed W. Smith.
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—
w hen baseball presidents are supposed
to be up to their necks In w'ork—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 the
accession to the office of Fogel. The
deponed 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 Blight 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: “Boos»t 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 w-ere discussed much by
the baseball fans* and the effect was
lost. Unless Horace ha.s changed
his Ideas a whole lot he wouldn’t
make much of a success as president
of a league that is ever so much de
pendent upon the good graces of the
baseball fans.
* * *
^ OW they are claiming that our
old friend. King Cole, late cf
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 twirler is due merely
for a t r ial by the Pirate crew, which
hardly w'ould 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 1? too wise a scout to
see anything like that come off.
