VIRGINIA TEAM
IS bRACED FOR
VANDY BATTLE
VA, Oct.

sizes of the South will be play

HUNTSVILLE, VA, Oct.
30.-One of the football clas-
sizes of the South will be play.
ed Saturday when the Vanderbilt
and Virginia teams meet in Nash.
Vile. This is the first time in five
years that representative teams
from the Southern and South At
lantic divisions have engaged in
big athletic contest.
All who have followed the two
teams during the present season
will confess that on paper Wander
bilt has the better chance Of win
ming the game. The Commodores
have passed through a strenuous
season without being scored upon
by their opponents The ease
with which they took the measure
of the strong Georgia aggregation
is clear evidence of the fighting ma
chine that will represent the Ten
nessee institution.
Virginias season has been far
from an unqualified success. The
Orange and Blue team caught its
stride early in the season, and
every indication was pointing to
the most successful year in the his
tory Of football here. With nine
veterans back in college, with last
years substitute squad almost IN
tact, and with the accession of un-
eXcelled new material. hopes ran
high among the undergraduates for
an unbroken string of victories
But these hopes suffered a severe
setback when Ahe team struck
tartar in Hampden-S Sydney. The
Orange and Blue barely nosed out
10-to-0 victory. The team recoY-
eredN its old form and easily de-
feated the University of South Car
Dina the following day. But disas'
ter came with the decisive defeal
at the hands of the Virginia Mill
tary institute. Virginia has never
failed in the past to swamp the
cadets. and this defeat was bitter
and discouraging.
But the team that will represent
Virginia at Nashville win be sew
eral hundred per cent better tran
at any time of the season, me
Orange and Blue has only Opposed
against its opponents the cnPpies
and second string men, All tne
regulars will be in condition, bar

COBB MAY QUIT
BASEBALL;L|KES
COTTON MARKET
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 80. -

DHT14ADELPH1A. Oct 80. -
"Ty" Cobb. outfielder ex-
traordinary has threatened to
quit baseball. and from private
sources here it is learned that it is
with good reason. Tyrus has been
offered a partnership in a cotton
brokerage firm and is considering
acceptance. While the baseball
public generally will laugh at the
suggestion, Tyrus declares that he
means it.
Cobb waxed enthusiastic during
the Giants-Red Sox series in New
York and Boston, and especially to
the scribe from Philadelphia who
accompanied him while he was Eek
porting"
Baseball doesn't mean a thing
10 me except for what money | can
make" Cobb told the scribe. when
asked about the brokerage part
nership offer. IF | can make more
money out of baseball than in it,
I'll quit in a minute. And if this
offer turns out one-half of what 1t
is said to be worth to me, the De-
troit club or no other major league
club could afford to pay me what
l would ask"
Cobb has had business ambitions
for more than a year. During the
strike OF the Detroit club here,
Cobb was the most unconcerned
player of the team.
Il have a peculiar contract" he
said. IF / am not reinstated it
doesn't worry me bit. for l will
go South to my home and still draw
my salary. will not be cent loser
either way, for l can go into bust
ness"
1t is believed that the knowledge
that no heavy fine would punish
him led the American league head
to reinstate him with a nominal
fine for the sake of league disci-
pine.
II can not make known yet where
| will locate If I go into business"
Cobb said, but, believe me, unless
| am mistaken now, the Detroit
club will be looking for an out
fielder in March

w on they said that the
Giants were so per cent
ball club and so per cent McGraw.
1t was charged and admitted that
McGraw furnished most of the Of
fensive brains OF the club When a
man came to bat he took his orders
from McGraw. When he got to
first he took his orders from Nc
Graw. All the way around It was
McGraw's mind that directed the
playing.
4 This is history noW-but inter-
esting because in just this point
Bill Smith, who leads the Crackers
again next season, resembles the
Little Napoleon, who has three
times won National league pen
nants and who has once won
worlds championship.
Bill Smith is the brains of any
club he leads.
Unfortunately for him. the
Southern league salary limit makes
it necessary that he remain on the
bench. He hasn't the opportunity
that McGraw has, for "Muggsy"
can direct from third base coach
ing line But Bill eccomplishes it
just the same by proxy.
7 REMEMBER one day, some four
or five years ago, l was taking
some pictures while a game was in
progress. l was working around
the coacher's box, just off third
base, when I happened to kick the
glove that Walker had left there
when he quit his position,
"Howly Moses. put that back"
said Scotty, who was coaching at
third.
What for?" | asked, consider

I'm using 1t to pass on Bits
signals" said Scotty.
Later he explained that if it was
in one place it meant one thing and
If IT was in another it meant some
thing else. Scotty was serving as
a relay station. Smith would sig
nal him from the bench. He would
give his glove a kick and the signal
was passed on to the man at bat
or on bases.
In this way Smith, though barred
from active work on the coaching
lines, was giving his orders, just as
MCCfraW does.
p ILL SMITH has another point in
common with McGraw. He is

buy, sell or trade. Any deal he
wants TO make he makes. and if
there is any paying to do he tells
the club how much it is and that's
all they are supposed to know
1t is a notable fact that the clubs
with which Smith has been sue
cessful have been run on this basis.

with club president or with club
directors about sales and such

was tremendously handicapped. 80
he was at Buffalo. And it was be-
cause club officials wanted to take
some of the financial management
away from him that he split up
with the Atlanta association after
winning the 1909 pennant.
THROUGH the coming season
Smith will have free financial
rein. He can buy or sell whatever
and whomever he pleases. There
has been no limit placed on the
money he can spend. All he has to
do is to ask for it. He will not have
to consult anybody about anything.
He will have a call on unlimited
money and he can buy and sell as
he pleases
with circumstances like that Bill
Smith shines. He is a good SPEND
er-but he is good salesman as
well. He uncorks key of money
at the first of a season, but he
makes most of it back at the end of
the season by selling some good
players.

Crackers if by some good luck

lhat he could afford to figure as a
playing manager. That would en-
aoie MIN to take his position on
the third base coaching line. In
tnat position he is able to ginger up
MS own batsmen and base runners
TO harry the opposing pitcher and
TO direct the play. One of Smiths
specialties is worrying pitchers. He
can stand at third base and veil
'Oh, you big boob, you big farm
err so it sounds like a deadly in
suit His vocabulary of vitupera
tion is somewhat limited. but he is
there with the vocal modulations
and he makes every word count.
And woe unto pitcher or umpire

box and begins firing.

"PASSAIC, n. j., Oct. 30.-'Rube'
Marquard, the Giants famous port
side twirler, who has been making
a great hit as a vaudeville artist

We pause in the quotation TO
call the readers attention to a bit
of poor technique in the great
pitchers press agentry. The asser-
ton that the Markee Of Marquar'
intends studying music in a large
conservatory is most inept. He
should have stated that Mr.. Mar
guard will acquire his musical edu-
cation in small deaf and dumb
asylum, thus making the celebrated
lefthander unique among persons
seeking foreign tunes, and lending
value to the item
However, we resume this can o
peas:
Early Call of Genius.
II have always followed the hand
organist around Cleveland, and
whenever | got the opportunity to
hear music--for in those days we
did not have moving picture shows,

ways took advantage of it,
oh, yes there is a subsequent de-
nial of the above. The RUDE says
in his addenda that he was kid
ding some reporter. but he admits
that it is true he intends having his
voice cultured, although he doesn't
say what for. You know, reader,
it would serve that RUDE just right
if the Giant management now in
sisted on his going straight to Paris
and studying music in that large
conservatory.
