CAPTAIN ELLAM
 JOINS PELICANS IN CUBAN VOYAGE
NO CIRCUMSTANCE AIDED
 BARONS IN WINNING RAG
VARIOUS PENNANT CLAIMANTS DURING SEASON DOWNED BY NO OTHER THAN MOLES- WORTH'S BUNCH - A GREAT BASEBALL YEAR

The Barons won the flag of the South- ern league through their own merits.
 In otl,er words, none of thc.r rivals for first honors were knocked out of joint by any other club of the circuit.
 This is record.
 AS Is remembered, the i-st team with pennant aspirations to come to Birming- ham was the Memphis aggregation. The Barons lStched on to the Turtles right off t.e tecl and when they left the Magic City they were considerably humbled. Then came Chattanooga. It looked as if F. smith had got his tentacles on ths topmost fung. He met the Barons and retired very much chagrined.
 Then came Mobile. The series was an important one. The Barons won handily. posed of, and soon they returned still clnglng to the coat tails of the bold and battle scared" Then followed the se- ries which make Brmingnau1 pennant winner. I he Barons won every game.
 It is poN an old story tnuf Brming- ham broke every record for attendance. The opening day crowd was tne largest. he Fourth If July crowd was the largest. the Labor Day crowd was the largest The total attendance was far in ad- vance of the figures offered by any other city. I;s attendance on one series broke nll previously established records of the league.
 l. hns been truly a great year for ths Ba,ons.

"GRID" PRACTICE
 , BEGINS AT HIGH

The first football practice of the Bir- mingham High school was held yesterday with about 20 husky young fellows report ing for work.
 Prospects for a good bunch of football artists is very bright at High this sea- son. Eleven of the last years squad arc back, in harness, and these, with the abundance of new material on hand, will give Coach Courleux an opportunity to turn out an exceptionally fast aggrega- tion this year
 The first practice consisted of passing the ball. handling punts, and a light sig nal practice.
 The following men reported for practice at the first call Monday: Wood. the 1912 captain of the High eleven; bowman. Bowron, Latham, Tribble, Robinson, Nor ton. Stockman, Stephenson, Barker.

GRIDIRON DOPE
 INDICATES SEASON OF GREAT SPORT
EARL FLEIARTY'S BEAN" BALL
 PEEVES CAPT. OTTO GORDON
IN COMMENTING ON INCIDENT, WRITER DECLARES FLEHARTY SHOULD BE ROOTED OUT OF LEAGUE BY COMRADES

According to the Chattanooga Times, one baseball player of the southern league has had the temerity to "call' Pitcher Fleharty for his eternal use of the deadly .'bean" ball. That player was Otto Jor- dan.
 In the concluding paragraph of the Times story appears the following: .Such a player (Fleharty) should be hooted out of the league by his fellow players. Lack of sportsmanship is bad enough but deliberate attempts to put another player out of commission and perhaps ruin him for life should be called by a sterner name"
 The story follows:
 chattanooga players returning from Nashville bring story that Earl Fle- harty tried his dirty work even to the end of the season. The dispatches from the Capital City yesterday morning told of the row between Joruan and tleharty, but not of it's cause.
 'The reason Otto got off his perch and attempted to swat the Vol pitcher was that Fleharty tried his 'pean ball. otto came up with two on and none down. Fleharty took aim deliberately and shot il fast one right at Ots head. The Lookout second sacker lodged and fell, the ball missing his cocoa by the fraction of an inch.
 Jordan immediately started into the diamond with his bludgeon raised for service. Fleharty prepared to meet him. The two agreed to settle their differences behind the clubhouse and were preparing to put on real fistie contest without gloves when policemen intervened
 'sFleharty has tried the bean ball so much and gained so little with it that 1t seems he would desist. He got in bad with it at Birmingham this spring and the charge of the Birmingham players that he tried to make them nervous by throwing the ball at their heads with deadly intent was very well sustained In one game here last sheason, tleharty bit no less than six batsmen. all sections of the body being included in the targets
 Such a player should be hooted out or the league by his fellow players. Lack of sportsmanship is bad enough, but de- lberate attempts to put another player out of commission and perhaps ruin him for life should be called by a sterner name"

ON THE TURF

Detroit. September 17.-Ran this after noon interrupted grand circuit racing al the state sar, after five heats had been run off in the various classes. Only one event was decided. the 2-year-old division of the Horseman Futurity. three heats of which were contested yesterday. Dillon Axworthy. driven by Serrill. captured the fourth and deciding heat after hard race.
 Only the three heat winners came out for the final test in the baby trot. Dillon Axworthy got away in front and led for a time. Lord Allen then showed in front and stayed there until we'll into the stretch. when Serril again sent his colt to the front Sweet Alice. coming strong, drew alongside and the three fought 1t out to the wire, Dillon AxworthY win hing and Sweet Alice beating Lord Allen for second place.
 Sid Anna and Robert Milroi each took a heat in the 212 trot Joe Patchen II was easily the best in the one heat of the PIP pace mad Brighton E, after racing reck and neck with Mahomet Watts in the 3-yearold trottng division of the fu- turty, got the decision by narrow mar gin.

men. These are Davis Bonner, Moore. Allen. Codgil and probably Lamb But Auburn has a large student body from which to draw material and it Is like | ly that she will put a heavy team In the field this season. Captain Major and Coach Donahue are hard at work with the new material and expect 10 round into shape an aggregation that will place Auburn well up in the $. l. A. standing this fall. Auubrn will appear In Birmingham twice this season once when she meets Mississippi A. and NJ, and again when she meets Wander bilt here. Her 1912 schedule is as follows:
 October 5Mercer at Columbus.
 October 19-Clemson at Auburn. October 16-Mississippi A. and M at Birmingham.
 November 2-Louisiana at Mobile.
 November 9-Georgia Tech at Al lanta

 among the missing this year, A. and M. s stock took a decided plunge. A. and NJ, like Auburn. has a. large num- Der of students to draw from, however, and will in all proba bility put out an aggregation this year that will make creditable showing. They will meet Aubuyn in Birmingham on october 26. Their full schedule, as announced, fol lows:
 October "A and M. vs Mississippi college, college campus
 October 12-A and M Vs. Enlver . sity of Tennessee. college campus.

 Tech Very Quiet
 over In Atlanta, Coach Heisman of the Yellow Jackets has been keeping his prospects and intentions entirely to himself. and little can be learned of Techs 1912 aggregation. II is un- derstood that number of old men, including St. Clair, Patton and others will be missing from the Yellow Jack ct lineup this fall. Tech made a strong bid for the services of young Tender son, who recently entered the Univer- sity of Georgia, as did several other southern colleges, but the youngster chose to cast his lot with Bob Me Whorter ct al. However it is not at all unlikely that Heisman has a few plays that just fit the new rules tucked away up his sleeve and that the Yel- low Jackets will be found among the leaders when the season ends next No vember. Techs complete schedule is:
 October 5-Citadel at Charleston.
 October 12--Alabama at Atlanta
 October 19-Mercer at Macon
 November 2-Sewanee al Atlanta
 November 9-Auburn at Atlanta.
 November 16-Georgia at Atlanta.

As an illustration of the friendliness which existed among the Barons in the season just closed those who attended the banquet Monday night tell the fol- lowing:
 After the dinner, in which everybody had said something exceedingly kind con- corning everybody else farewells were in order. Almeida, the Cuban slugger who won a place in the hearts of Birming- ham fans, deliberately kissed Pitcher Raymond Boyd.
 While this was the greatest exente to which fraternal demonstration was per mtted to go in the eyes of several of the other players there was a percepti- ble mist which was closely akin to tears

ELLAM WILL MAKE THAT CUBAN TRIP
 IN PEEL UNIFORM

Roy Ellam, Baron shortstop, left BIT mingham yesterday at noon for New or leans, where he will join the team which will make the trip to Cuba.
 At the baseball banquet Monday night, Ellam received the telegram which caused his departure for the Crescent City. It came from George Rohe. the veteran Pelican, and contained an urgent request that the Baron join the Birds in the pilgrimage to the Pearl of the Antilles.
 Ellam accepted. He reached New Dr. leans last night and together with the Pelicans will leave for Cuba within a day or two. The players in addition to taking nice trip, will be well paid for their services. It is expected that the Baron will remain in Cuba for several weeks, and possibly until Christmas.

CHANGE IN RULES, OLD STARS
 ABSENT AND FABRICATED SCHEDULES PREVENT ACCU- RACY IN "DOPING"-THE SITU- ALTON
By C. ". GREER

What will be the result of the recent changes in the rules governing football? This is the question that is agitating the thoughts of the followers of the gridiron throughout the country.
 According 10 Hurry up Yost. the wig orous leader of the Michigan Wolverines, every change has been for the better ment of the game But, according to Ekersol, the famous ex-quarterbaek of the University of Chicago these changes will be the ruination of football, What's the answere
 l. The main features of these much dis oussed changes are as follows:
 9 The distance between the goals has been reduced from no to 100 yards
 3. Kiekoffs will be made from the 10 ii.- stead of the 55-yard line.
 1. The, distance for making forward passes is unlimited.
 5. Touchdowns will count six points in stead of five.
 6. Four downs will be allowed to mal,e the necessary 10 yards gain instead ot three, as heretofore
 [. A 1o-yard zone behind each goal IS allowed for forward passes. This makes the field 120 yards in total length.
 s. The time between the quarters has been reduced from two minutes to one. The onside kick has been eliminated.
 9. If. in drop or placement kicks, the ball hits the ground and bounces over to goal, the score is not counted.
 1o The field judge will be eliminated.
 H. Kickouts will be made from the 2O Instead of the 25-yard line.
 Concerning the Commodores
 With new rules, new faces and probably new style of play this fall, the coming gridiron season may see a radical change in the ranking of the southern colleges in the S. l. A. A. standing.
 Whether the recent changes in the foot ball rules leaves openings for new plays, or new methods of attack and defense. remains to be seen. But that these changes will produce a marked effect upon the style of play this fall is generally ad- mitted. As q result the dope as to the relative strength of the southern teams is in turmoil.
 Vanderbilt, usually conceded one of the very strongest aggregatons in the south, even before the season opens. is this year a puzzle. With the loss of such men as Ray and Kent Morrison, Metzger, Brown and F'reeland, and facing one of the hard est schedules that southern college has ever had, the standing of the Commodores this season is not so sure as in seasons past. Capt. Hardage and Coach McGugin are facing an exceedingly tough proposi- ton in replacing the loss of these men, and as a consequence it is hard to figure the Commodores at the top of the ladder until they have mixed things with some of her southern opponents. The schedule of the Commodores for the coming season Is as follows:
 September 2S-Bethel college at Nash vile.
 October 5-Maryville at Nashville
 October 12-Rose Polytechnic at Nash vile.
 october 1e-University of Georgia at At lanta.
 october 26-University of Mississippi at Nashville.

Alabama Is Doubtful

At the University of Alabama pros- poets are uncertain. Coach Graves feels the loss of such men as Barnette, Kel- Ter, Countess and Powell in his line and is not so very optomistic. On the other hand Moody, the captain of the Crimson warriors this year, is just the other way. "I tell you,' says Moody, ''prospects are fine" Nevertheless. pros- this year lies In her back field. Me- DowelI, Wilkerson and especially A. Vandegraffee are fast, gritty and able men, but they will likely be handi- capped this year by weak line. Red Vandegraffee, the sensational left end of the Crimson squad. is tower of strength in himself. but he was tho only old man in the line to report for duty at Alabama this fall. Alabama will appear in Birmingham twice this fall Her full schedule is:

 Sewanee a Mystery
 Sewanee Is truly the mystery of south ern football. Just what the Tigers arc going to do this fall is an enigma. Prac- tically half of last years varsity squad is missing. Myers, Bailor, Swain Parish, Gillette and Billen will not return lhis fall. and the probability is rhat Gillipsie will also be among the missing. Coach Cope must. therefore. place his main de- pendence upon newcomers, and with d student body of the size of SeHanee neV- corners are few and far between. But with Sewanee you can never tell The spirit that exists Up on the Tennessee mountain plays an important part in Se- wanees schedule, and the plucky Ten nesseans are never to be counted out of the running until after the Thanksgiving game. The Tigers will meet Alabama in Birmingham on November 1G. Their full schedule is:
