Chicago, November 10.-tSpecial.)- )-- President Ban Johnson of the A1neri- can league has come out in favor of war of extermination against syndicate baseball. The boss of the American league and the real power of the na- tional commission. has outlined plan which will end trust baseball, if adopt ed President Johnson intends to urge the adoption at the next American league meeting of rule making It compulsory for each club president to give to the natonal commission and the press a complete list of stockholders in his team. He will also endeavor to have the National league adopt sim liar measure. It is his intention to have syndicate baseball made a violation of the rules of the game and have the punishment placed in the hands of the national commission. Such action, no doubt, would do away with trust meth ods in the game. The American league, it claims, is clear of syndicate owner

 It is for the change in administra- tion that turf owners have been wait ing and although it was said that no positive assurances have been made as to any future programme, they were more than hopeful over the situation.
 Tn the event that racing is permitted 1t is said to be the plan of the track owners to try the pari mutuel betting macI1nes first and if no objections are raised to this form of wager open bookmaking may be tried later on.

All of these con- alterations enter into the calculation. and oonloinins them the supporters of the university feel far more cheerful than they have in some weeks past. They ara looking forward to a good stiff fight. at least, with tke odds in favor of Sewanee- and the call of the goal post spurring on the local squad.
 Alabama suffered back in the loss of Hurd as a result of the Mississippi game. The cause of his displacement was an injury of the elbow in the Green vile scrap. He was a strong man, quick and aggressive, and his place will be hard 10 fill. The rest of the men are fit as fddles. All of them are improving in their work. This is becoming more and more noticeable In the way they send the ball ahead in the afternoon practice. Coach bowman and his advisers realize that a good interference was sadly lack ing last Saturday. They have set to work on this weakness with vim. At every turn it Is hammered into the men that they must look out for this most essential feature of the offense and they are prof1ting by the lesson. New plays, too are receiving attention this week, and the men are being pretty thoroughly drilled Tn a Duncn or IHetu. IL tilSSo can be uncorked at the right time, and in the right way Saturday they are likely to give the Tigers jolt or two. They are certain to help materially in coming contests The backs are being looked after, also, and are responding well to the efforts of the coach They show much better speed than heretofore. and seem to be able to find the holes in the opposing line in a hurry. Vandegraaf has been taken out of the rear line. and Is being tried in Hurds place. Mcdowell is holding down his position at half.
 The individual work of some members of the team Is worth mention. Barnett at center has been out only three weeks and is hitting a lively pace. Last Sat urday he played against man who had been in the game for five years and showed him. a good time. The sane is the case with Heard who has been out only three weeks. Every man Is work ing his hardest and it is certain that they will go into the Sewanee game with more than an even chance of making the mountain wise ones sit up and take no- tice.

LoBERT BLOCKS DEAL
 WHICH FOGEL BLOCKED

Cincinnati, November 1o.-That Capt. Hans Lobert of the Cincinnati team has blocked the deal intended to send him to Philadelphia, is the pith of statement given out by one of the officials of the Cincinnati club. Lobert said when he re- turned to Cincinnati from transforming tour that he would see Hermann before he gave out any statement He has seen Hermann several times and is understood to have told him that If traded to Phila- deiphia he would quit baseball entirely. Lobert blocked deal to send him to St. Louis three years ago by refusing abso- luteiy to leave Cincinnati for St. Louis.

 Class football aspirants have begun to put in their appearance on the afternoon practice field. as they do every year along toward the flag end of the season. It is from the material developed thus every year that the lineup for the next season is tentatively picked. Auburn will lcse seven or eight, probably more, of this years regular squad, and the out look for the 1911 season, already dis cussed, is not good.

University, November 1o-(Special)--
 Can a stumbling block be put upon the
 way of Sewanee's triumphant course in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic as sociation? Must it require Vandy's gold and yellow warriors to even put a crimp in the flag of purple and white? Is it possible for the aspirants in the cellar to rip few healthy, ragged rents in the sunny outlook of the mountaineers? These are the questions that are agitat- ing the thoughts of every man athletical- ly inclined, from Coach bowman on down. in the University of Alabama. The boys about the campus think that it is pos sib1e, and they are making ready to substantially back up this belief by go- ing up to see it done. At the first of the season they were inclined to be crit ical, but now they realize that the team is doing all in it's power, and are grow ing warm in their support and enthusi- asm. They are comparing the efficiency of the squad as it now stands with it's condition at the opening of the season, has been made.

any statement. One theory is that Sharp tcok a curve on the back stretch at Fer guson avenue at too high a speed, thus losing control. Another is that tire blew out, causing the driver to lose con- tiol. The latter theory is supported by the fact that the left front tire was stripped from the wheel
 Head Crushed to Pulp
 For 50 feet along the side of the road the car plowed it's way. then leaping a ditch and striking a small tree. Seem ingiy the tree though bent to earth and swept its entire length by the on-rush- ing machine, impeded it's course but lit tie. A few yards further the car struck thick post of barbed wire fence ex- tending along the road. On it sped, knocking down post after post and tan- gling posts and wires in it's mechanism and about it's wheels It was this tan gle of wires that finally brought the car to a stop, first throwing it into the air for somersault driver and me- chanic falling as 1t was thrown
 Fuchs struck upon his head on log Sharp fell clear, but apparently sus- tained injuries to his stomach by strik- ing against the steering wheel. When fiagman on the course and two con- victs who were working on the road at the point where the accident occurred ran to the assistance of the men. they found Fuchs dead and Sharp helpless Efforts were made to flag other racing cars as they sped by in practice. but without result until word was telephoned to the grandstand. several miles away Then two of the racers stopped on reach ing the scene and brought the body of Fuchs and the injured Sharp to the grandStand.
