CRANDALL GOES TO INDIANAPOLIS BY THE DRAFT ROUTE

The various gridiron squads of the southern colleges are being rapidly whipped into condition for the first con- tests which take place on September zs. Hard scrimmage work has been the pro- gramme for the earlier part of the week, but lay off will probably be permitted Friday, in order that all men possible may be in condition for the first try outs. So far as the games themselves are concerned, they are of little importance, but they will mean much to the coaches and players of the college teams in adapting themselves and their style of play to the rules. Then, too, these first contests will furnish the coaches their first opportunity of noting the efficiency of their offensive and defensive tactics under fire.
 The return of Long, the 175 pound half back, to the University of Alabama, has given her prospects a considerable boost Long had suffered from typhoid fever this summer, and it was doubtful wheth- CT he would be able to don a uniform this fall. He is good punter. a fast and heavy man. and will add much to Coach Graves offensive material Van degraaf, Wilkerson and McDowell, the other hal1-backs, are all showing up well, and 1t is problem to just which of these warriors will give place to Long.
 Football conditions at the University of Virginia and Vanderbilt are exactly different this fall. The virginians have an exceptionally heavy and experienced line, but they are lacking in backfield men to work behind it.

SCRIMMAGE WORK
 AT w. AND l.. UNI.

Lexington, Va. September A.-(Special.) ) After the regular preliminary practice of several days, Coach Reilly put the entire sharp scrimmage work for about b min utes on Wilson Field yesterday afternoon. Although of short duration and confined to the more simple formations and plays. the work was valuable in showing up the individual characteristics of the members of the equad, and in enabling the coaches to get more definite line on the ma terial at their command.
 Practice has been in progress for only about 10 days and the squad with the exception of the old men. is of course in somewhat of a crude state as yet. Each man, however, worked with gratifying energy and enthusiasm, and the squad as whole displayed unusual speed and strength.
 With the opening game of the season but week distant, scrfrnmaging will be a daily occurrence from now on, as well as formations and signal practice, and the team. will be pretty definitely de- cided upon by Saturdays game
 Seven of last years team. including Miller, Miles, Rafferty, Beuhrin and Rog- CTS. were in the lineup yesterday and these. with the yaoaneles filled by sea soned members of last years squad should form a pretty strong team with which to meet the Medical college of vir. ginia for the initial game on Wilson Field.

 Coach Reilly, although somewhat re. ticent seems much pleased with the work done by the squad, both in previous practice and in the afternoons scrim mage. When questioned he said ''Ot course. 1t is too early 10 make any definite predictions, but judging from the showins made this evening, the team will prov, a strong one and the prospects for tn. coming season are very encouraging

NEWS OF THE RING

New York, September A.-Eddie Me- Goorty of Oshkosh, Wis, who claims to be the top notcher among middleweights. added strength to his argument tonight when he made short work of Jack liar rison, champion of England, who holds the Lord Londsdale belt. After knock ing out Dave Smith, the Australian cham pion, in the first round at Madison Square Garden three weeks ago, in the same ring last night he knocked out the British champion in minutes and 55 seconds.
 The men weighed in at D. m. at 15J pounds, but at the ringside McGoorty weighed 165 and Harrison 163 McGoorty opened up with right and left to the face, then staggered the Englishman with a left hook on the jaw. Keeping his man continually on the defensive, he sent right and left blows to the head and after a smashing right to the face and a right uppercut under the chin. he hooked liar rson's jaw with his left, sending him down for a count of nine. The English man got up groggy and McGoorty, after landing three rights and three left5 on the head with another left hook, put him down again for a count of nine. The same blow a few seconds later sent Har- rison to the floor for the third time. when he was counted out

JAKE STALL Manager of the New American League Champions, Who Meet the Giants in Worlds Series Next Month

The cut to the left is that of John J. McGraw, leader of the New York Giants The smaller cut is that of Jake stahl, whose Boston Americans have captured the pennant of the American circuit.
 At the present time there is a very in- teresting discussion under way as to whether the boss of the American cham pionship club is the equal of the boss of the team which will unquestionably win the pennant of the National league.
 There is a difference of opinion. Hughey Jennings. leader of the Detroit "disap- pointments,' and notorious for his slur- ring remarks concerning other leaders of American league clubs. declares that the discussion of the relative merits of the managers of the two pennant winners is entirely immaterial on aesount of the fact that McGraw Is peerless. In this regard, it is interesting to remember that one year ago. Jennings made the same odious comparison of Connie Mack to McGraw, despite the fact that the world, although admitting the many excellent points of the Giants leader, Is fully aware of the astuteness and cleverness of the leader of the present world champions.
 McGraw is d wonderful baseball cap tain. and has obtained result through system of brow beating the players who are unfortunate enough to be under his leadership. He reminds of Napoleon, who obtained his ends by the reckless disregard of the fate of the soldiers who looked to him for instructions. Stahl is a modern winner. With Boston, he has achieved the championship of the strong est league of the world despite the fact that in the beginning, the prediction was general that the Athletics, who, In the fall, hammered the Giants into pulp, would certainly repeat
 The outcome of the battle between the leaders is awaited with feverish impati- ence,

his colleagues to arrive tomorrow morn ing. They will go at once to the home of President John T. Brush of the New York National League club in Pelham Manor and have their meeting there. The trip to Mir. Brush's home is because he is suffering from an injury received in a recent automobile accident.
 Others present at the meeting will be President James McAleer and Secretary Robert McRoy of the Boston American League club, and Secretary John A. Heyd- Ter of the National league. President Lynch said tonight the meeting undoubt- edly would dispose of all it's business by late afternoon and be ready to announce the dates and ticket arrangements for the series tomorrow night.
 MT. Lynch explained that although the New York Giants are virtually within two games of the pennant, the commission would, in deference to Chicagos chances, consider dates for Chicago as well New York. The question as to what city the first game will be played will be decided as usual by the toss of coin by the two club presidents.
 It is practically decided that instead of alternating games between each city there will be two contests on consecutive days in each city, and 1t is believed that a schedule of six games will be crowded into the week beginning october 7
 In he hope of preventing the ticket scandal which marred last years series, the commission win consider this phase carefully. When asked tonight of the re- port that the commission would instruct the clubs to do away altogether with mail order sales of tickets was trust worthy, President Lynch said:
 Nothing to this effect has been de- 4. beat the scalpers. We probably shall not beat them altogether in New York"
 President Lynch would not speak of the proba bility of the commission leaving all of the actual ticket selling to the two clubs.
 .Whatever is done,' he said Twill be under the supervision of the national commission-closer supervision than ever before.'
 Prices will be decided upon at the meeting. Those at thes Polo grounds last year-$3 for the upper tier of the grand stand, s2 for the lower tier, s1 for the bleachers-probably will be in force this year.
 At Boston there is new stand, a single deck affair, and the commission will de- eide as to whether a 8 rate will hold for the entire grandstand or whether it will be divided at s for the front portion and & for the rear seats. A dollar will be the bleacher rate.
 Postponement of the New York-Pitts- burg and Chicago o-Philadelphia double headers today on account of rain virtual Iy brings the-.Glants within two games of the pennant It is expected they will win it during the series of five games now billed with the Boston tail enders. More than 9O00 spectators were at the Polo grounds today despite the drizzle and a small riot developed among them when the first game was called off. They contended that they had not time to await the possibility. of second game and hundreds swarmed to the box office demanding their money back The spe- l cial officers were unable to handle the crowd and the city police had to be called upon to disperse the trouble makers

CURRENT FOOTBALL GOSSIP
 OF THE SOUTHERN GRIDIRON

meet on November 2, test as to whether a strong backfield or a strong line Is more efficient for a winning eleven, can be had. Virginia will try to crush the Vanderbilt squad by sending her backs against her heavy line. while the Com modores will try to send their fleet back field men around the ends for going and for forward passes. outrunning their heavier opponents
 It is reported that Sewanee has about 80 men out for football who are really football prospects. This is an excep- tionally good showing for the Tigers. They usually have to put out a team on much less that number. The return of links Gillem has evidently installed con siderable enthusiasm in the Mountain boys. It seems. anyway. that Sewanee is to have better team than last year.
 The University of Georgia has corrolled huge young athlete by the name of Henderson, whose ability as & pig skin artist, is being considerably touted The Georgia adherents are enthusiastic in their praise of this eollegian, and predict that he will be heard from in the south this season. Incidentally, the youngster weighs just trifle over 200 pounds and is said to be exceedingly fast.
 The game between Howard and Glenn son, which takes place here on October D. at the State Fair grounds. is attract ing quite a bit of attention in Birming- ham. The game will be played immedi- ately in front of the grandstand at the fair grounds, and will be only one of the big features offered by the fair as sociation to the public that evening. The association has gone to no little efforts in obtaining good games during the fair, and the public should show their appre- ciation by turning out.

Boston Baseball Mad

Boston Is baseball mad. When the Red Sox returned home from the road trip on which they "clinched' (accord- ing to the Bostonians) the American league pennant. they were accorded a great demonstration by the Hub City fans. The Bostonians discarded their proverbiaI dignity and went so far as to hand over the keys of the town to the new champions. But when a city is baseball mad they can never be sat isfied. and in case the Red Sox fail to trim the Giants properly In the worlds series they may be handed

CUBS STILL HAVE DREAMS:
 AND OTHER WINTER GOSSIP
By 0. w. GREER

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
 Word comes from Chicago that the cubs still consider themselves pennant possibilities. It might also be added that they are still second place possi- bilities, too, and that they are going to have their hands full in keeping in front of the Pirates. While McGraw's Giants do need some four games to sew up the gonfalon, there is very lit- tie doubt but that they will finish the season as leaders. Chances boys shot their bolt some weeks ago when they failed to show the proper class at the crucial stage of the fight, and with the team they have they should be proud to play second fiddle.

Difference Between Experts

No men agree. not even the expert. Eddie Collins, the star second baseman of the Athletics, believes that Boston Will win He bases his opinion on what he terms a fact, that whereas Boston Will have three pitchers-Wood, Collins and Hall-with whom to begin games New York will have but two-Mathewson and Tesreau Collins, in other words, cannot believe that McGraw will again make the mistake of attempting to open a game with Marquard.
 Mathewson bases his belief that the Giants will win on what he terms the fact that McGraw can outpoint Stahl in the managerial end of the scrimmage. In the meantime, both players are reaping reward In the form of dollars for the ex- pression of their expert and unbiased oninions.

Pitchers Greatest Asset

While we are not willing at this time to 20 on record with A prophecy, we hold that the greatest asset that any club can have is in it's pitchers.
 Therefore, if Jennings is correct in ref erence to the respective twirling staffs, the evidence tends to indicate that Boston will achieve the laureis-even though Mc- Graw is alleged to be such wonderful field general

Jennings Is Rampant

Hughey Jennings. manager of the De- troit Tigers, who are Tigers still, despite the fact that every other club in the American circuit has had little trouble in twisting their tails. selects the Giants to win because he believes McGraw to be a much better manager and general than Stahl.
 It is interesting. however, to note that whereas Jennings predicts that the Giants will win. he states that in his opinion Wood Is a better pitcher than Mathewson, and the Boston staff, as whole, much better than that of the Giants.

Rain in Majors

Rain is playing havoc with the major league schedule at present. The Giants failed to play again yesterday and consequently delayed the time for rest which is to come as soon as they cinch the rang. The fact that the Red Sox have settled this matter in the Amer ican league and are just doing enough to keep them in condition is going to help them materially in the big series.

Woods Failure Helps

Woods failure to break the worlds series is undoubtedly a good thing for the Boston Red Sox. The strain un- der which the great pitcher was work ing was sapping his strength and that of his teammates who were bending effort to ward off his defeat. Had he won one or two more games and then lost he would have hardly been in con- ditione to work in the championship series at all. As it is he will have ample time to forget the inevitable and be in fine fettle for the opening game with the Giants.

 Boston is hardly ds strong as were the Athletics last year. although there IS no question but that the Boston outheld IS the best that the game affords today, and the Boston pitchers, as a whole. are stouter than the fingers of the Giants.

 On the Championship
 The opinions as to who and what is going to be the main dependence of the Giants and Red Sox in the coming championship struggle is about as mixed as an amateur box score.

Me Graw and Stahl for the who's" and hitting, fielding, outfleld- ing and nerve for the whats" have all had their term being doped out as the important factor in the struggle.
