limb or the loss of an eve Is about all
that can keep Bobby Neach out OF De-
troit's left field next season The Peoria
boy is counted as one sure of his position
in q lineup that is daily in danger Of
another shift.
The kind of pegging that Nesch pulled
off for the Tigers the past season was
the best furnished by Detroit out

AS a fielder. he is sure and a good Judge
of a fly ball. He has an easy style
He is natural batsman. a free hitter,
and should be in the division of 800
clouters next season. Ty Cobb and other
players are of the opinion that Neach has
not hit above his stride since joining the
Tigers, but that II is his natural batting
pace. What win Robert do when he gets
out on hitting spree?

Vandy VIII Win Championship; What Of Auburn?
Alabamans May Be Good Enough to Take I'd Place

tween Georgia and Auburn. Sewanee
is the only team that threatens
either. And long before then Geor-
Sia may have eliminated Sewanee.
We shall all know more about it
Saturday after next when Auburn
plays Tech here.
+ EVERYBODY Is about ready to
admit that the Vanderbilt team
of this year is better than last
years eleven, which was believed
by many to have been Vanderbilt's
best. But lot of them haven't flg-
ured why.
They said that the places of Free
land, Metzger and Morrison couldn't
be filled. Well, in respect to Nor
rison, they called the turn. They
haven't filled his place But they
have developed tolerably reliable
pair of Quarterbacks. Freelands
place has been filled by Ship.
When Dan McGugin was in Allan
ia last week he said; You'll be
disappointed in Shipp in this game.
a lot of people were in the last
game. He hasn't learned yet to go
TO play. He waits for the play
to come to him, But he's learning,
When the season is over he will be
a wonder"
AS for filing Metzger's shoes
well, this chap Dawes threatens to
do IT. Said DIR. Owsley Manner,
Vanderbilt's assistant coach. the
other day; Dawes is more, like the
great Chorn than any man Wander
bilt has had before or since the
time of that wonder performer. He
isn't 50 very big, but he's a bear
cat to scrap and he enjoys the
work. He is one of the few lines
men who can get right into plays
without paying the least attention
to his opponent. He has the happy
faculty of successfully disregarding
him. Give Dawes a. year under Nc
Gugin and he will be one of the
best linesmen the South has ever
known"
So it turns out that the places Of
Metzger. F'reeland and Morrison
have been filled by men who. in the
lump, stack up nearly if not fully
as strong. Then it is notable
fact that several Of Vanderbilt's
regulars of last years team have
improved. Take Collins for one.
This man was erratic and disap-
pointing last year. This year he
seems to have found himself. Nor
gan is playing an improved game.
so is n. Brown and likewise T.
Brown. So naturally there is every
reason why Vanderbilt should be
stronger than last year, even if
last years team was the strongest
that the Commodores had had up to
that time.

where Clemson stands. Jumping
the three games. however, and dop-
ing ii all out, 1t appears that Au-
burn has strong offense and a
weak defense They have piled up
ITO points. but they have been
scored on for 10. In these figures
college games only are counted.
Auburn also had sort OF glori-
fied sorimmage with an alumni
team which should hardly count in
the real figures.
Auburn's defense looked a lot
better last Saturday in the Glenn
son game than 1t has looked before
this season. A pool of water, a
tumble. a scramble for a loose ball
and little luck combined in giving
the Clemson men their only score.
The only real weakness the Auburn
team displayed was in it's inability
to withstand a driving line attack.
The Clemson team gained consist

MOTHERHOOD
SUGGESTIONS
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism untitled
for the trial of strength, and when it
is over her system has received shock
from which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner-
vous strain of caring for the child, and
q distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an UNI
prepared condition, and with ample time
in which to prepare, women will persist
in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham sVegetable Com
pound, most valuable tonic and invig-
orator of the female organism.
