 Neither Larry Doyle nor Iris Speaker, the Chalmers trophy winners of 191a, hit as their admirers thought they would in the late series between the. Red sox and the Giants. Speaker rapped 300. which was .oS2 below his seasons batting aver age, and Doyle clouted .242, which was .OS9 less than his percentage for the cam- paign.
 Could Iris have batted only against Mathewson he might have rolled up a stick record of AT, for those were the figures the Bostonan obtained while fac ing McGraws master mechanic.

With "Davie" Fultz of the New York Yankees as president. and Christy Mathewson Mike Doolan, Ed Sweeney and Try Cobb as vice presidents, the or ganization of the Baseball Players union was perfected at a meeting of the
 representatives of the major leagEt players held in New York last week. The organization has been talked for some time, but 1t Is probable that the one cir cumstanee that did more to bring to a head conditions that favored such an or- ganization than any other thing was the insulting attack upon Ty Cobb by spec tator some time last May
 With the formation of the association the players are in position to tie up major league baseball at short notice if they so desire. but such a contingency Is furthest from the thoughts of the organ izers the purpose of the fraternity being primarily to protect the men from unjust discipline Bound hand and foot by the laws of organized baseball, the players have been forced to submit to the decrees of tho in authority or be blackllsted. They have been fined and suspended in the past without a hearing, and 1t Is to counteract thls condition that they have

SPEAKER AND DOYLE
 HIT BELOW AVERAGE IN WORLDS SERIES
FOR SOUTHERN
 GRIDIRON CHAMPIONSHIP
 BEING RAPIDLY ELIMINATED
Vanderbilt Auburn Sewanee and Teck Yet Undefeated-Au burn Has Hard Game With A. and M-Alabama Shows
 Surprising Strength Against Georgia

something altogether unforeseen happens in the Commodore ranks. The game should be a good one, and one worth coming considerable leagues to witness It will perhaps be the hardest fight that Vanderbilt will have in the south. but the Nashville aggregation will carry off the honors by a decisive score.
 Regarding ''Ole Miss"
 Although "Ole Miss has been consid- erably Handicapped by President Dud- ley's aS. l. A. A rulings, they showed by their game with Vanderbilt Satur- day that they are not to be counted out of the running because of this reverse. They gave the #Commodore eleven the hardest game that the NeGuginites have experienced this season, holding them to but three touehdowns. However, severa, of the Commodore regulars were with held from the serimmage and numerous substitutes used throughout the game. It is probable that McGugin is taking no chances In having any of hls warriors crippled or out of condition for the Nir- ginia game.
 According to dope-just dope--the most undependahe means of reckoning yet in veIted, the Auhurn-Tech game next week should be good one Auburn defeated Florida q 10 13 Tech beat the same team Saturday IA to G. Auburn has a slight advantage by comparative scores but the game should be a good one.
 Alabama a Surprise
 Alabama's game against the University of Georgia Saturday was a distinct sur prise. Either the Crimson warriors have come forward wonderfully since they met defeat at the lands of the Yellow Jackets or the much touted Georgia outfit is T great team only on paper. Reports from Columbus say the university team out played the Georgians at every stage of the game. and yet lost the game on poor judgment. To be sure. poor Judgment is a defect In teams strength, just as much as poor taekling would be. and sometimes much more disastrous. but the result shows that the Alabamians are not to he counted a down and out ma chine Without a single win yet an nexed to their belts they have not. to say the least, any violent inspiration to go in and win. and yet they put up great game against Georgia in the face of many columns of adverse dope, and one that deserved better fate.

The past two weeks has done much to eliminate many southern teams as s. I. A. A. championship contenders At pres ent Vanderbilt. Sewanee, Georgia Tech and Auburn have not lost game dur ing the season, and must all be eonsid- cred in line for the south's champion ship. Sewanee has met but one team of any real strength, so little can be told Of the Tiger strength in comparison with that of the other teams mentioned Geor- gia Tech and Auburn are not so strong as ip former years, but 1t is probable that they will fight for second place in the standing. Vandy will go after national honors in it's games with Harvard and Virginia. merely stopping long enough in the south to pluck off the highest honors through force Of custom.
 Auburn-A. and M Game
 Auburn supporters were somewhat sur- prsed when Donahues machine met with such stubborn resistance from the Cadets of starkville, Miss. While there was com paratively no dope by which these two teams could be compared. 1t was general ly believed that the Tiger aggregation would win by at least two touchdowns. However, the outcome of the game does not indicate that Auburn has a weak eleven this season. It may be and prob ably is, weaker than usual. but the Or anee and Blue team will no doubt fin- lsh the season with an enviable position in the s. T. A. A. standing. On the other hand, A. and M. has a very for midable machine this year. Their line against Auburn was practically impreg- nable while tho Tiger line was frequent ly smashed. But they lacked Auburn g aggressiveness, and were unable to gain consistently.
 Auburn and ,Vandy
 To those who saw the game between Auburn and Mississippi A. and NJ. satur- day, there is little doubt as to the out come Of the Auburn Vanderbilt contest. The work of the Orange and Blue will, doubtless, be greatly improved when they meet Vanderbilt. but no amount Of de- velopment can make the Tiger team an even opponent for Vanderbilt unless

finally able to work with astonishing
accuracy and speed. In the doll In
dustry only some special part Of the
dolls is made by each person. Some
make the bodies. others the heads and
still others the arms, hands, etc. BY
this division the work Is done much
quicker and better.
The heads are first nodded, and
when sufficiently dry the eyes are cut
out by skilled worker with . very
thin, sharp knife. This is extremely
delicate work, because all Of the sock.
cts have to be Of uniform size or the
eyes do not At. After being burned
the heads are painted, waxed OF
glazed, depending on the material
from which the heads are made. The
arms, legs and hands are produced in
. similar but simpler manner. as the
painting consists only in giving the
necessary flesh color, while the heads
must have rosy cheeks, red lips and
dark or light eyebrows, depending on
the color of the eyes. The setting Of
the eyes and the making and attach
ing OF the wigs involve number Of
ether processes.
The doll industry is now commenc-
ing to make the character doll" in
restricted numbers. The model is
made by an artist and the molds are
then copied from this model. The
painting Of these dolls is done with
especial care, and, consequently, their
price is considerably higher than that

The assembling Of the different
parts of the dolls is often very com.
plicated. The best jointed dolls have

which the movable parts are attached.
