gressive this season It is remembered that the strong Clemson eleven was able to score but one touchdown against Cor don. The Georgia Tech, however, de- feated Gordon by a score of 40-odd to nothing.
 There was considerable interest cen- tered in the game between the University of Georgia and the University of Ten nessee, which the latter won on the for mers grounds.

 Auburn Meets Sewanee.
 This will be a busy football week. Bir- mingham will see one of the best games of this weeks schedule. Sewanee plays Auburn here Saturday afternoon. Sewanee is credited with having one of the best teams in the south this year, anu the odds favor the men in purple to down the Alabamians. However, Auburn is play ing great football this season. and there is no doubt but that the struggle will be a hard fought one. On next Monday afternoon. Sewanee meets Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Sewanee is selected to trim Alabama, too, although the game will doubtless be another hard fought one. Alabama has good team this season. and the outcome of the game will be watched with interest. Coming, as it does, two days after Sewanee plays Auburn. the result of the game in Tuscaloosa will give the talent an opportunity to size up the relative chances of Auburn and Alabama, in their game.

 In his statement tonight President Small says that in his recent recommen- dation he merely wished the locals to in- telligently understand the situation. He adds:
 Should the locals throughout the coun- try or a bare majority of them vote to continue the strike, it will be pushed with greater vigor than ever, and the member ship being in possession of the facts re- sarding negotiations and finances, no doubt with greater determination.

THE SATURDAY RESULTS

Another week of football has come and gone.
 Saturdays results are interesting, es- pecially the outcome of the Vanderbilt Navy game. From the report in The Age-Herald yesterday morning, the Com modores played the Navy off it's feet, and should have won. The Commodores would have won too. according to the report of the game, and according to the views of. Coach McGugin, had penalties, nu- merous and unjust not been promis- cuously meted out
 However, the result was pleasing enough. It is something for a southern college to tie one of the big elevens of the east. Vanderbilt, however, on ac- count of its creditable showing in two years against Michigan, and its defeat of the Carlisle Indians, really expected victory, and was disappointed, in conse- quence, on account of the tied score. Next Saturday, Vanderbilt meets Wabash in Nashville.
 The Alabama Victory.
 There was great pleasure in Birming- ham yesterday morning when the news was spread abroad that Alabama had ad- ninistered such a telling defeat to the University of Mississippi. The decisive victory of 20 to 0 revived enthusiasm among the alumni of the University of Alabama, who are now confidently ex- pecting Auburns defeat.

EMBRACED NEW RELIGION.
Converts in Maryland Have Become
Missionaries.
ecial Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. January 10, 1907.
Three residents Of Brooklyn, this county,
have become converts to q new Christian
system Of faith and practice known as the
True Religion and have left their homes to
become missionaries. They are Miss Ida
Hawkins, daughter of James E. Hawkins, a
prominent merchant and Messrs. Thomas
Grooms and William Collinson. Interest
centers especially around the case OF Miss
Hawkins, who is a graduate of the State
Normal School and formerly taught school
at Brooklyn. >,
Interest in the new faith was aroused In
Rrooklyn by the efforts Of two evangelists
Frank Scott and David Christy. Its tenets
enforce a return to the following or Christ
as exactly as possible and to the methods
of the early church. The preachers are re-
ouired to carry nothing with them but
change Of clothes and rely upon charity for
a place to sleep. Failing in this they sleep
in the open air. In all things they inculcate
a literal following of the example OF Christ
and the commands of the Bible.
About forty converts have been made in
BROOKLYN since the work began, about a
year ago. Miss Hawkins has spent some
time in Philadelphia and Is now at work In
Wilmington, Del. 1t is understood that she
has also turned over all Of her savings, to
the authorities OF the sect.

MUST PAY OFF
WHAT THEY OWE

CINCINNATI. January 21.-There will be
wailing and gnashing of teeth when the
National Commission. National Association
and Tri-State League send out notices to
certain players between now and the open
order to be able to play ball this year
they must reimburse clubs from which they
have secured advance money under false
pretenses during the time the war between
organized leagues and the outlaws was on.
The Cincinnati club Is interested on both
sides in this matter. having one player who
owes money to Tri-State League club
and one who secured advance money and
then failed to work it out Jack Mclean,
the big catcher. is the gentleman who ac-
cepted coin from a Tri-State League club
and then failed to report. The sum Jack
owes Is 5000 which was advanced him by
the YOUNGSTOWN club early last winter. After
spending the money and thinking the mat
ter over. Mclean decided to stick to the
Coast League. Last fall, when the Reds
were playing in Philadelphia Mclean got
the tip that the Johnstown club had a con-
stable on his trail. and he hiked out to New
York ahead of the team in order to escape
the clutches of the law. However. he de-
clared at that time that he would settle
early this year, and there Is no doubt that
he will.
On the other hand. Jim Sebring owes the
local club between 5000 and 500. 1t Is not
likely that Jimmy will be able to pay this
sum in a lump, but the peace agreement
assures the local club a return of the coin
which for time looked like lost capital
The biggest sufferer by the new peace
pact is Fred Crolius, manager of the Lam
caster team of the Tri-State League. He
has accepted advance money from four diff
ferent major league teams and by the time
he gets through squarng up he'll have but
little left of his seasons salary.

FAVORITE PLAYERS
YEAR OF PROFIT

NEW YORK, January H.-Favorites won
more races last year on the tracks under
the Jurisdiction of the Jockey Club than
ever before in this country. From March
%, when the Benning track opened, until
the closing at the same track, in December
1897 races were run. Horses that were
favorites in the betting won 600 of these
events Public form was still further main
tanned by the success of 29S second choices
and 100 third picks" In all. 1,O97 races
were won by horses that seemed to have
the three best chanceS as indicated by the
Odds
These figures tell plainly that the long
shot players did not cash frequently. I'm
less the men who back horses of that class
persistently cashed on the majority OF the
outsiders, they had very poor season As
many of the outside brigade were at very
long prices those fortunate enough to have
bets on them were compensated for some
of their losing ventures. But they had to
cash on many of the long shots In order
to find the speculation profitable.
It became a noticeable fact as the season
progressed that the crowd, which averaged
about 600 on all days except Saturday.
when the attendance figures sometimes
touched the 1000 mark. preferred to back
the mounts of Jockey Miller to the playing
of public form selections.
Miller's phenomenal success with horses
at all sorts Of prices was the death knell
of many bookmakers. The craze for Mil
Ter became so great that no matter wheth-
er he rode the cheapest kind of q selling
platter the crowd poured all kinds Of wagers
into the books, with implicit confidence
in the marvellous midgets ability to come
home with some part Of the money. Miller
rode the best horses, however, in a ma
jority of instances, so that the wise money
in addition to the publics wealth, was
wagered on him.
The appended table will show just how
true the horses ran to form:

POOR OUTLOOK FOR

ORMOND. Fla, January 21.-The break
ing Of important records will apparently
be out Of the question in the automobile
races on the Ormond-Daytona beach this
week. The beach never was in such poor
condition for speeding. Every few hun
dred yards there are mounds Of sand. When
car hits them. going at any kind of fair
speed. the operator is jelted into the air.
Unless a northeast storm sets in there
will be no chance of lettering the condi-
tions. The storm would level the beach.
There are Very few drivers here now. not
one-third as many as a year ago: Foreign
