EXPLAINS LACK
 OF IMPORTANT BATTLES

bilt to play October 22. Later, it Is shown, Vanderbilt was forced to relinquish this date to the glittering promise of a game with Yale, but offered Auburn the choice or November or November 12. Au- burn has a five-year contract with Geor- gia Tech for a game on November and a verbal agreement between the Sewanee and Auburn managers to play on Novem- Der 12, according to Professor Bragg or Auburn, prevented the acceptance of vanderbilt's offer for a game. The agree ment with Sewanee, the correspondence shows, was made at Oxford, Miss, dur ing the S. I. A. A. meeting not long after the 1909 football season. Relying on the agreement the Auburn managers sent to Sewanee a formal contract for the game After vanderbilts offer had been refused because of the supposed conflict on November 12. a letter was received by Professor Bragg from Sewanee ath- letic authorities, telling that the com mittee had decided that Sewanee would not meet Auburn in the season of 19l0 mainly because of financial reasons; this despite the fact that the Auburn game has drawn better for Sewanee than any other game of it's former schedules with the exception, probably. of the Thanks giving contest with Vanderbilt.
 E The first correspondence between Se- vance and Auburn conveyed a tentative proposal from Sewanee to play lon the mountain for s225 guarantee, or in Chat tanooga. It was on this promise that the Auburn authorities relied in turning down vanderbilt's offer, and because of which there is no game on Auburn's schedule with either of the leaders of Dixie's foot ball.

 COMES BACK INTO HONOR

ablaze at the rebellion, collared Bonner, and dragged the 7s inches of rebel from the line, telling him to turn in his uni form to the manager.
 Good" said Bonner. He was thor oughly mad. He went off the field. and there was much speculation among the Auburn men.
 Yesterday Bonner came back manfully. On the bulletin board in the main college building, in full view of FOO of his col lege mates, was Bonner's apology, in black and white.
 ITO the Auburn Student Body" 1t was directed, and said:
 T hereby tender my sincere apology to the Auburn student body, to the foot ball team and to Coach Donahue for my irregular conduct on the football field last week. I hope to be able to prove this on the field with the permission of the above-named factors.
 "W. s. BONNER" The irregular conduct occurred near ly two weeks ago. Bonner has been to his home in Clay county, to aid his father for the last 10 days, but he will return this week to don his uniform and to smash up things in atonement.

 Nothing Is more regrettable to the baseball player than laying aside his uniform. He will wear 1t as long as possible.
 In the Southern league, as Is remem- bered Birmingham and New Orleans wanted to play post-season series. A bunch of players from Atlanta did do little transforming in Cincinnati.
 At the conclusion of the regular sea- son the Cubs and Athletics will meet, of course, and then the all-star tour is scheduled to come off.
 At the conclusion of the season the New York Giants meet the New York Yankees, and Cincinnati meets the Cleveland Americans. When all is done Mordecai Brown will lead barnstorm- ing tour throughout few states. And then many players will go to Cali fornia for the winter league; some will go to New Orleans and some to Cuba, South America and other points. They hate to quit.

Auburn, October 6.-(Special) )--Happy Auburn college men are talking of the way in which football player "came back" manfully And Long Boy Bon. ner. a giant linesman of Auburns 1908 and 1909 squads, and a player of brilliant promise, is more surely ensconced in the hearts of Auburn men because Of the manner of his coming back.
 Last week in the heat of scrimmage Bonner was fired, expelled ignominiously. He talked back to the coach. Which, as all football men know, is the unpardon- able sin.
 The scrubs had been holding varsity to A standstil on the fatal evening. The regular squad, on third down, had Iz yards to go. Newell yelled signal, ana Bonner shouted back. from the line, re- monstrance. Coach Donahue told him. in more or less words, that the quarter back, not the guard. was running the team. Bonner retorted emphatically, per haps profanely. And Coach Donahue'

 POINT IN BASEBALL

Cincinnati, October 6.-The national baseball commission in decision an- nounced today held that the complaint of Player R. E. Hulswitt against the St. Louis National League club for SS days extra pay was valid. and directed that the club pay the same.
 Hulswitt was released to the Chatta- nooga club on September 10 last. He applied to the St. Louis management for transportation to Chattanooga, but 1t was not furnished him. He then wrote to the Chattanooga club and was informed that he had been purchased for next season.
 Tn its ruling the commission held that if major league club released a player during the playing season to minor league club 1t is the duty of the minor league club to accept the players serv- Ices at once and not require him to lte idle until the following season.

 The scrubs are turning out better this year, however, and bucked the ball for a touchdown in the practice of Wednes- day afternoon. In this. however they were assisted by Hannon. who got into the game himself to give the green men some practical knowledge of defensive tactics and the little fellow never showed moro lightning-like speed nor greater ability to go through small hole when he was at the university than he shows this year.

 J. J. Seip, the 200-pound end of the Louisiana State university. who has been chosen captain to succeed R. F.. Stovall, who disappeared from college. Is a powerful athlete. He is the big gest end in the south, but his weight does not interfere with his speed. Last season in Birmingham, Alabama had Louisiana defeated up to the second half when Seip, almost single-handed, turned victory into defeat by scoring two touchdowns through the Crimson White line.
 Louisiana this season is strong con- tender for championship honor. First rank was captured in 1908, but last season the Tigers were defeated by Sewanee. This year both Vanderbilt and Sewanee are encountered.
