1t is conceded that the Giants will have

OF the games with the Cubs. Pittsburghs
and Philadelphia In all
while the Cubs have twenty-five with the
Giants. Pirates and Quakers The Giants
have three more games with the Cardi-
mails than are scheduled for the Chicagos
while the latter will hook up with the

in nine games with the Reds. whereas
the Giants have only five more contests

with the Cardinals may help McGraw' s

games less to play with Bresna hans

DETROIT IS IMMUNE
Does Not Fear HighIanders'
Attacks.
ONCE WAS EASY PREY
Last Year Yanks Walloped Tigers
at Will, Now Tables
Are Turned.

DETROIT, August 7.-According to all
the rules and regulations Of the national
pastime. the Tigers should be badly
demoralized team, since il has become
almost certain that Ban Johnson will
succeed in deposing Hughy Jennings as
leader of the jungle beasts; but il the
threatened scalp lifting has had any
other effect on the Tigers than to make
them more dangerous than ever, then il
is not noticeable to the naked Yankee
eye.
Things Are Different Now.
Time was when the Yanks had only
to show themselves on the field TO take
all the spunk out of the Royal Bengal.
Last year and the season before the
Hilltoppers found IL easier to subdue the
fiery, untamed maneaters of the local
jungle than to make a close thing of their
arguments with most other clubs. In 1910
the Kilties put the Tigers out of the race,
and Jennings still believes JIG could have
won last year but for the awful treat
ment his team received each and every
time it ran foul of the Highland clan
But times have changed. So far this
year there have been eleven New York.
Detroit arguments. Detroit has won nine
of them. For two years the Tigers could
not begin to hit Russ Ford. Sunday
they tore him off without a great deal of
trouble, though the New York spitballist
might have pulled through but for tho
pernicious activity of Ty Cobb.
Listless Base Ball.
Somehow. the Farrell clan seems unable
TO play against the Tigers the sort of ball
it places on exhibition when opposed to
other clubs. Invariably its tits against
the Tables have been marked with a
tameness of spirit. sort of listiessness
that never yet got a club anywhere while
such an outfit as Jennings blocked the
path.
The lack of resourcefulness on attack
that marked two of the Chicago games
was again apparent Sunday. Twice
first in the sixth inning and again in the
seventh-all the bases were filled with
Yankees. but in neither case could the
be turned into anything more
than an opportunity. In the seventh the
Yanks did score their one and only run,
but they stopped short just as soon as
they had Joe Lake in a really ticklish
situation. They lacked the final punch.
the blow that might have set the tide
running against the Tigers.

The fall hunting season for quail
opens next Friday, which is the fif-
teenth, and remains open until the
first of next March, three months and
half.
Last winter there was but little
bird hunting in Maury county as com
Ipared with many former years, but
from the report from many sections
of the county there are great many
birds and the sport is to be more
freely INDUCED this winter.
The northwestern and southern
sections of the county furnish the
best range for the growing birds in
that there are broader and more pro-
ductive fields and the winter feed
ranges in these sections furnish more
attraction. But in the northeastern
section among the cedars and more
broken ranges the breeding advan.
tages are superior in springs like thot
Of 1912, when there is an excess OF
rain just at the brooding time. And
so in this section many birds are
found, and though the hunting season

nishes the most difficult shooting yet
the superabundance of the game will
furnish an added attraction over the
broad open fields. Many of the
hunters say that though the birds are
small as yet, the coveys being made
up of the late hatchings, there is in
prospect much fine sport and an
abundance of the toothsome game.
Nimrods are getting their outfits in
working trim, and many dogs are al
ready being given the field and Fri
day will find many willing Disciple
afield with dog and gun should the
day prove favorable one. And this
will be continued, doubtless on
through till Christmas and after.
Gunners should look we'll to their
preparations and should be sure of
their privileges before entering ter
ritory, and having done this all care
should be taken in the handling and
using of arms. There is nothing more
productive of genuine satisfaction In
the way of sport than the excellent
working of dogs afield, the bagging
of the game and the recounting OF the
experiences after the day is over.
And there are but few things that get
one into as much unnecessary trouble
when the proper precautions are not
taken.

In Lee Tolley, quarterback, Sewa-

showing star calibre in this, his first
regular season as a first string back,
but man who has future ahead Of
him in s. |. A. football, says the At
lanta Constitution. He is decidedly
the best man in his position that has
been seen at Ponce park this season,
and at his present gait will make
bid for all-southern honors when the
scribes make their picks after turkey
day is history. Tolley is hard, sure
tackler, runs well in mass plays and
the broken field, and above all dis
plays head work such as few veterans
of much older age and experience can
boast. BY common report his clos
est rival for quarterback is Fetch
er, of Mississippi university, a man
whom the local fans have not had the
opportunity to lamp in action.
Tolley halls from Columbia, Tenn.
He received his prep training at Nc
'Callie High School, Chattanooga, and
entered Sewanee last fall. He char
ed quarterback duties with Swain
last year and was awarded an "S''
when the season closed. He has two
years before him and should develop
wonderfully during that time.
In Saturdays game he ran his team
to their limit. At least twice he got
away for lengthy gains, besides max
ing numerous others of healthy hue.
In signaling for fair catches in the
last quarter the gray matter cropped
out again. In this chapter, as at all
times during the fray, he backed a
fierce and willing spirit with plenty
of speed and strategy. -Chattanooga

Tolley is also Columbia Military
Academy man and got his first foot
ball training under Lex Stone, a Sc
vance star. While at C. M. A. he was
star in every game he played and
showed that he had the making OF a
great football player in him. His
running of the team was equal to that
of any prep school quarter that had
ever been in these parts. Lees
many friends here are pulling for
him and will be in Nashville on
Thanksgiving day to root for him
