SIXTY IN SQUAD I
ATAUBURN.AND I
MIKE IS HAPPY
By Mike Donahue.
(Coach Auburn Eleven.)
Auburn, ala., sept. 20.—The
second week nf practice finds
the members of the squad in
creased to over 60. Another member
of the varsity .wqund has showed up
in the t*ersnp of •Red” Harris, a
backfield man last fall. "Red” lacks
weight, hut makes up in speed and
grit for a lot of it. He is a valuable
addition tn the squad. He brought a
younger brother along, too, who will
make one of Auburn’s future athletes.
Pitta ha» -ent word that he will he
in the* first of next week and as
there is a good chance of Lockwood
returning Auburn’s football stnnk has
risen considerably over what it was
a couple of weeks ago. The only pos
sibility unaccounted for is Christo
pher. and he is expected some time
next week.
With the help of Coaches Penton
and Rragg the candidates are divided
into three squads and are given more
work and more individual attention.
The tackling dummy was installed
this week and the way the players
went after ft made it appear that
Auburn would have a team of good
tacklers if nothing else. In fact, they
went after it so hard that the first
injury of the season happened to
Hart, who has a bruised shoulder
that will keep him from working for
a few days
Are "Freezing” to Ball.
There long drills for the. can
didates in catching punts and for
ward passes, falling on the ball. and.
above all. freezing to it when once
it touches their fingers. As the abili
ties of most of the candidates are
well known there won’t have to be
many experiments and the work
ought t<» go on smoothly from the
st a rt.
The backfield, that is composed of
Captain Newell at half. Arnold, quar
ter: Tax lor. fullback, and Prender
gast. right half, is going very well
and has more speed and weight than
is usual in Auburn backfields.
Only scrimmaging will tell, how -
ever, what the combination will
really do. If it pans out all right,
and with such good light men as
Hart. Christopher and Snark man to
shoulder some of the work, the back
field ought to be well taken care of.
Two Scrubs Look Good/
Harston. of Marion, and Wynne, of
last year’s scrub*, are showing up
wdl at the end positions, while Steed,
another scrub, is doing well at cen
ter. Ix»uisell has bolls and is doing
only light work, and <’ulj>epper is also
out because of sickness.
Scrimmaging begins to-day and
the varsity will very likelv line up as
follows: Steed, center; Thigpen, lef*
guard. Makin or Martin, right guard;
<’leveland left tackle; Esslingen
right tackle: Wynne. Kear’ey. left
end; Harotnn. Robinson, right end;
Arnold. Noble, quarter; Harris. New
ell. |. ft half. Taylor. Sparkman, full
back. and Prendergast, right half.

This was decided to-day aftr a long
conference between Robert W. Emmons

manager of the boat, and "Nat” Her

steel boat was first considered, it was
decided to-day that a lighter boat would
be more desirable.

GOTHAM GIVES
GIANTS SERIES
By Bill Bailey.
'Baseball Expert of Hearst’s Chicago
American Traveling With the
White Sox.)
NEW YORK. Sept. 20 Here is
where you get the benefit of
the first straw ballot taken on
the world’s championship series this
year.
The vote was taken right here in
New York. It was overwhelmingly in
favor of the Giants. In fact, the Ath
letic® didn’t get a single vote. Some
fellow started tn say something about
the Athletics giving McGraw a good
licking. But it was suspected that
he was from Philadelphia and he was
so busy the next few minutes trying
to keep away from his pursuers that
it was difficult tn interview him.
But after a day of hard work on
the straw ballot the vole stood 70 to
" in favor of the Giants.
Oh, yes, the New York penpip are
quite certain they will win the big
trophy this year. Nothing tn it. And
you know they aren’t biased in their
opinions at all <)h, nn. nnt at all.
Porter Casts First Vote.
The first vote was secured as the
Sox left their train at 1 o'clock
Wednesday morning. A colored por
ter came hobbling up the platform
with some eight or ten grips.
“Well, you fellers certainly is our
friends.” he said.
“How’s that :” it was queried.
“Well, you done showed us that
If you can got base hits off them
Philadelphia pitchers and your pitch
ers can keep dem from getting hits,
dat you is bound to win. You done
it and we are going to do it only
mob so.”
That showed ho possessed an idea
that the Giants would certainly boa:
the Athletics when they clashed.
Rut let us not get the impression
that a vote at a time is all that
you can get in this town. There
was a musical show in this town and
a chorus of 50 came out They sang
a little song in which the belief was
freely expressed that the Giants
would put the Indian sign on Bender
and send Plank to the home for Ihe
aged and infirm That showed how
they felt about it and they were set
down as among those who believed
that the Giants were going to win
Play to the Fans.
The ardor of the tabulator was
somewhat dimmed when it was re
marked by a friend who was sitting
in the next seat that the same girls
sang in Philadelphia last week and
they expressed the opinion that the
Athletics would hang the Indian sign
on Meyers and also that they would
chase Mr. Mathewson to that same
home. Meaning the one for the aged
and infirm
But realizing that a straw l»alh»!
without expect® s no ballot it all. the
views of Mr FT'tgh Jennings, manager
of the Tigers, were obtained. Mr
Jennings was just leaving for Wash
ington.
The Giants have the, best opportu
nity of their farcers to win that
world’s championship emblem.' said
the boss of the Tigers. "The truth
is that Connie Mack has a wonder
ful team, except on the slab —he has
no pitchers. Plank, with much nurs
ing and a lot of rest, may be able
to pitch one good game Bender
can’t win the scries b\ himself.
"McGraw, on the other hand, has
a good batting club, one that will
get lots of runs, and also a strong
pitching staff.
Lack Pitching Staff.
"I think that the Athletics have it
on New York in hitting, but they are
without the necessary pitching staff.”
But what’s the use of further
enumeration. They are absolutely
certain here in New York that this is
the year for the Giants Likewise,
are they convinced that the pitching
staff of McGraw will spend a pleasant
afternoon any time that they adorn j
the slab.
Understand, this straw ballot was,
taken in New York.

American Boy of 20 Overtakes British Veterans at Final Hole
OUIMET PLAYS OFF TIE WITH VARDON AND RAY
Brookline, mass . sept. 20 —
Whether the national open
championship of the United
States Golf Association remains here
I or goes to England rests entirely with
the play of Francis Ouimet, an
American youth, a stripling, scarce
ly out of his teens.
Ouimet, an amateur, is battling to
day England’s cracks. Harry Vardon
and Edward Ray. veteran profession
als. It was Ouimet’s brilliant golf
in the final round of the tournament
yesterday that won him a tie with
the British experts and gave him the
right to contest for the title to-day
Play began at 8 o’clock this morn
ing, an eight<?en-hole three-ball
medal round deciding the winner.
No matter who the victor will be.
oulmet is the hero of the tourney.
He carved a niche for himself in in
ternational sporting history by his
feat yesterday.
Ouimet and his British rivals turn
ed in a card of 304 for 72 holes con
tested during the past two days
Ouimet’s performance lifted the
nineteenth annual open tournament
of the United States Golf Association
out of the usual classification ac
corded a national championship and
brought the contest to a standard lit
tle short of other intenaiional compv
t it ions.
Os the half dozen home-bred and
transplanted professionals, not one
could keep pace with Ray and Var
don. and all hope of retaining the ti
tle honors appeared lost until Ouimet
was found making his lone stand
amici rain and mud against the two
older players.
Scene Never Equalled.
When, the spectators realized that
in this home-bred amateur, born and
brought up on the edge of the Coun
try Ulub course. rested America’s
chance of winning the championship,
they lost that placid attitude and
whispe r that ordinarh marks the golf
gallery and rooted and cheered Oui
met in a manner typical at baseball
and football games.
The scenes that attended Ouimet’s
march over the last four holes never
hav»- been equalled on an American i
or Europp.cn golf course.
Enthusiasm ran the gamut from ;
despair to elation, silence was fol
lowed b\ great outbursts of cheer- =
ing. When Ouimet's second shot '
from the eighteenth tee landed dead i
on the edge of the home green, 5.000 j
spectators massed themselves in a |
gigantic ring of breathless humanity
about Ouimet and his playing part
ner. <Jeorgp Sargent.
The American youth needed the
hole in one to win and two to tie
He gazed long down into the bow:
when- the cup lay. dried his hands
and mad. a 35-foot putt that just
missed the hole and rolled 3 feet be
yond.
A sigh arose from the crowd and
all was still again Qutmot looked
once at that little stretch of sodden
turf that lay between him and an
other chance for the title gently
tapped the ball and stepped back to
watch its progress.
Slowlx it rolled to the edge of the
hole, curled around the lip for an inch
or so and then dropped in for the
four which tied him with Ray and
Vardon.
Ovation for Youth.
Instantly a tremendous yell wept
up. The gallery swept pas: ropes and
guards and closed in on Ouimet in a
solid i-halanx. He was lifted tn tin
shoulders of the advance guard and
carried toward the clubhouse sur
roun led bj several thousat cheer
ing. yelling golfers, who forgot their
golf in tlie enthusiasm of being just
Americans cheering an American vic
tory.
Many, not realizing that Ouimet
was an amateur, thrust bills of large
denominations at him. only to be met
with a smile and a shake of the head,
which took the sting out of the re
fusal made necessary by their mis
take.
Ouimet’s great battle against the
prowess of the two Englishmen!, who
already were tied with 304 before he
had half finished his final round, was
.11 the more praiseworthy because of
j the frightful weather conditions un
der which he was obliged to play.
! It was raining heavily before tnp
■ forenoon round was started, and con
' tinned with but few let-ups all day.
i Th< fairways and greens were water-
I soaked and the rain beat down upon

Britons Praise Ouimet.
Vardon said- "He certainl.s played
a great game and stood up under the
strain like the man he Is. He is a
: credit to Amen an golf."
"It was a beautiful finish,” sa:d
i Ra, , "and he deserves all the cheers

that he got. One of the best young
golfers I ever saw."
Ouimet took his honors modestly
and said that except for some pulling
and slicing, due to the wet and whip
py condition of his clubs, he had no
particular trouble
”1 never gave up hope.” he said,
"and expected to pick up several
strokes on the short holes near home
I’m not a bit afraid of either Ray or
Vardon. and expect to do as well to- j
morrow as I did to-day."
The youthful hero of yesterday's i
exciting finish is nearing 21, and was
born in Brookline, w here he attend* d
a school until a year or two ago At
present he is employed by a Bost an
business concern, but while he was
’ attending public and high school here
he played and caddied on the (’ountrx
Flub course, which he knows like a
book. It is this knowledge which
helped him tn overcome the advan
tage of experience and age possessed
by his two competitors of to-day i
In the play-off round
Os Ray's and Vardan's play It «*an j
be said that both held true t<» form,
considering the weather condition*
Neither had any complaint to make,
and took the added complication of a
third contender In the play-off with
composure. Some idea of
their play yesterday can be gained by
a comparison with that of Tuesday
and Wednesday, when perfect weath
er and course prevailed as against the
bad going of Thursday and Friday.

SPORTING COMMENT
By Ed W. Smith.
FROM a hothouse type of “made”
athlete to a near champion in
the lightweight division is the
1 strange evolution shown in the ca
reer of Charley White He has built
himself up from a sickly youth,
who took up boxing in a Chicago
gymnasium in an effort to ward off
the threatening signs of a wasting
disease to one of the hardest-hit
ting lightweights in the business,
a man truly to be feared by any
man in his class. White’s showing
>i gainst Mickey Sheridan in Racine
the other night indicates that the
little Hebrew lad is* improving b\
leaps and bounds and is destined,
if all goes well with him. to break
into the very top crust of the box
ing game.
• • •
POSSESSED of one of the great
* est left hands ever flashed by
any of the lightweights and with
the knock-out kick of a burro on
either side of his armament one
ran hardly figure how Charley is
to he dented He has taken on the
weight in the right direction
steadily and uniformly, filling out
nicely around his neck and shoul
ders with the legs remaining well
knit and slim, giving him all of
his power just where he needs it—
right back of the punch. As a
support for all of this Charley is
the characteristic iceberg in the
ring. He is seldom hurried or wor
ried. does not overpace himself in
the hottest of mix-ups. and best of
all. his boxing skill enables him
always to be in the right poltion
to hit.

/'''HARLEY comes of a family that
is distinctly pugnacious, four
of the brothers being fighters. .lack
is a good lightweight, and Billy
Wagner, another of the family, is
one of the best in the business in
the same class, confining his opera
tions largely to the ring;* of the
East. Naturally, there was a lot
of rivalrv in the familx. but it looks
a: this angle as if Charley already
had outstripped his kin in the mat

the English sporting pnpers print
his picture as another example nf
the might of British boxers But
the Anchowltz family camo to
America soon after little Charley
was born, which was hack in 1891.
and therefore, Charley inusrt be
tabbed as a real Nmerican product.

the exercise as i means nf pro

I didn’t seem worth a very big in

work, and having a train nf hero

Charier absorbed a lot nf thia at

Almost from the start he allowed
unusual ’•kill and it wasn't long be

BUT it took a *ong time to build
over that sliver-like shape nf
his and only within the last six
nr eight months has Charlev shown
a decided improvement in this re
gard. His left hand. always a
weapon of extreme precision and
force, became almost deadly in its
work, until to-day he is master of
all that go»s to make up the real
class leader. Up to about a year
ago f'harley was content to out
point opponents, s* Idem caring
about trying for knock-outs. The
great K. O. punch has come tn him |
now' and he is using it with telling
effect. Just ask Mickey Sheridan.

FOUR TEiS RUN
UPANDDDWNDN
FIELD ST ATHENS
Athens, ga sept. 20.-—it looked
like old times and genuine
football on Sanf»»rd Mead yes
terday afternoon when four full teams
were running signals and receiving
personal instruction from the coaches.
Captain McWhoner had charge of (he
‘first < hok • ” crew, Cunningham harv
dled th* second eleven for a while
and Ketron and Peacock looked after
th*- other two squads.
Varsity men and tw-ruha made up
the first earn, as it Is ('unntngham’a
system to play new stars on the
> 'rubs until they have demonstrated
that they are really worth more than
the other man I *orsey was running
the • iptain's outfit in the absence of
P'd M Whorter was at right
haif. Browbeat 1* ft. and Powell, who
arrived at noon from Europe, was at
full. Delnpprrlere did the passing,
and Conyers and Brown filled in ar.
guard. Hend« rson took care of right
trickle and Thrash plugged left.
f ' 'rump •nt down
from t! • •nd positions. F’orward
I'.cJng was the main feature, and It
can be seen even this < arly that Cun
ningham expects to make this play a
big factor in his attack this fall.
Scrimmages will start Monday and
i gr- it benefit Is expected to result
from these this fall, as the number of
coach,on hand will give each team
i separate set of signals, and soch a
thing i i man starring because he
is "playing on signals” will be done
away with.
Another thing that Is evident even
so early In the s* .ison is that,
Georgia quarterback will have a va
riety of plays and signals to carry in
his head, and but little mass playing
will be r«s<>rti»i m in the four downs.
Touch* ■ of the ’Minnesota” shift, the
tacl-hs-back formations and other
similar creations of the open game
are creeping out and every man on
the t* am is working overtime study
ing out the different formations and
plays.
