bit as conscious Of it.
Last year it was Baker. The slug
ger of the Athletics emerged as
the great big man of the series
It was Bakers bat which decided
the pitching duels.
Unless the unexpected happens
some one man will stand out above
all the others in this coming series
l pick Tesreau for the reason that
he has pitched some remarkable
ball against us this season and I
think I know what a great young
tWirler he is.
Should he start the series. ana

rience. 1t doesn't make a great
deal of difference what tempera.

is bound to become trifIe nervous
when playing such a short series
for such high stakes.
It's the ambition of every an1b.
tious ball player to become a mem.
Der of worlds championship team.
He wants to be able to say that
he played with team which won
the highest hcnors of the diamond
and that he assisted in winning
them. That's natural. That thought
is with one night and day.
First Battle Counts Much
There is the chance that Tes.
reau will suffer in the first game Of
the worlds series as the ordinary
youngster on the day that he
pitches his first major league game.
But if Tesreau-is cool and calm
and gets away with a win I think
the fellows from Boston will have
their work cut out for them.

n m GRAW'S men should win
MI the worlds championship.
Jeff Tesreau, the husky
young pitcher, should be the big
man of the series, and l do not
mean only in a physical sense,
either. But l figure Larry Doyle is
likely to develop into one of the
big stars. 1t is upon Tesreau, how
ever, that l base my belief, and it
will amount to a certainty If he
gets away with the first game.
Worlds series present some
strange baseball spectacles. 1t is
history that almost every one is
won by the individual feats of some
man For that reason l place so
much dependence in Tesreau.

GRAFTON. He was the great big man
of that series. 1t was his pitching
which made the Pirates the worlds
champions.
In the year of 1910 the Cubs
were the victims of one man and
that man was the youthful Eddie
Collins. His batting, his fielding,
his base running and his ability to
get away with everything that he
undertook had more to do with
the victory Of the athletics than
any other factor that entered into
the play of those games.

Afhenan Have Best Chance Vanderbilt This Year
VANDY WEAKER THAN USUAL, GEORGIA STRONGER

of Georgia. and Hardage, Of Van
derbilt, are as wonderful runners
as the game has developed in many
a day. Each man is the offensive
mainstay of his club. McWhorter
is the better man of the two,
though he has not the vast amount
of superiority over Hardage that
many of his supporters credit him
with
\ the matter of strength OF line
it is hard to say where the adj
vantage will lie. Vanderbilt's line
is not up to the usual mark. 1t
hasn't a vast deal of weight and in
knowledge of the game and gen.
eral ability it is well below the
Vanderbilt standard
This is sort of a rambling esti-
mate of the two teams and maybe
it brings you back to the same
place you started from. Studying
the situation carefully and consid-
ering the two teams. player by
player, it would be difficult for
anybody to give valid reason for
picking Vanderbilt as the sure win
ner.
The strongest asset Vanderbilt
has is McGugin. Nobody pretends
to explain why he is a better coach,
in point Of games won, than any
other man who ever came into the
South. He doesn't know as much
about the theory of the game as
many another. He wasn't a par
ticularly good player in his col
lege days. He is no deep student
of the sport. He has no fancy
methods He doesn't work his men
very hard.
And vet he wins
And just for the very reason that
McGugin's Vanderbilt teams have
usually won in the past it is sur
missed that they will win again.
McGugin knows better than any
BODY else that Vanderbilt's game
with Georgia in Atlanta will be one
of its toughest this season. And he
will prepare for it as carefully as
he dares.
1t will be one of the big games
OF the year in the South, and At
Ianta is lucky to have drawn it.
If Georgia can win it, it will do
lot toward breaking the football
trust and will put football on
better basis in the South.
You have my word for it, though.
II Georgia wins it will play better
Dali than it ever played before in
all its history And that might
easily happen So the thing is in
teresting.

lI~AN Georgia beat Wander
bite" That question has

been fired at me unnum-
bered times in the last three
weeks. Naturally. even a sporting
writer would hesitate before an
swering query like that. We are
especially inclined to hesitate be-
cause we haven't seen Georgia yet
this year.
1t has been the good fortune of
the writer, however, to see the
Vanderbilt team in practice and in
scrimmage several times this fall
And we say this, right off the
reel, If Georgia wins over the Com
modores they will play better foot
ball than ever they have played in
our day and time.
d UT here's the interesting point:
- Georgia has a team this year
that is well calculated to play the
greatest game ever put on tap by
a Red and Black eleven
The team that Alex Cunningham
is working with now Is one that
ought to be able to spot the best
OF past Georgia teams a dozen
points and beat them in a co.
minute game.
IF, as seems probable, Georgia
has this fall the greatest of it's
football teams. then it surely
has look-in with Vanderbilt and
may win,

1t is unlikely that any Southern

1t was this very knowledge of

1t is deliciously ironical, as whimsical
as a Barrie playlet presents extremely

Probably the most interesting and
pleasing vaudeville bill Of the season

the Bijou theater. Patrons Of the house
who have been in regular attendance
have been surprised at the class Of en-
tertainment furnished at this house
during the week. The clever work of
the different performers showed that a
more expensive and selected line of acts
were being booked.
The clever diving act Of Mermaida
has proven one Of the strongest acts of
the season. The musical act of Quigg

Of All Leonhardt have all combined to
make a most interesting and pleasing
performance.
