HIGH'S GAME
 FOR SATURDAY
 IS CALLED OFF

The following letter from the mana ger of the University Training School football team of Tuscaloosa explains why the game between that school and the local high school, scheduled for October 26, was called off:
 Tuscaloosa, Ala, Oct 23, 1912. Sporting Editor of The Age Herald:
 The football game scheduled for oc- tober 26, between the Birmingham high school and the University training school, of Tuscaloosa. to be played at Tuscaloosa, has been called off for the following reasons:
 l. The Birmingham high school team tied the reserve team of the University of Alabama; in scrimmages with the University reserve team the training school team could make no showing whatever. Practically every time the ball was snapped the university boys went for a touchdown. The training 2 school claims that it has a strong pre- paratory school team, but 1t has not 2 team that can put up an interesting game with football team that can hold the reserve team of the University of Alabama~team to a tie scoge.
 2. The training school tean's man agel was compelled to call the game off/on account of finances, as well. On November the Birmingham high school team comes to Tuscaloosa to play the University reserve team. Therefore. 1t would be difficult mat ter to get crowd out to see the pro- posed game between the Birmingham team and the training school.
 tSigned) c. r. TII.LERY, Manager University Training School

WALSH TOPS ALL HURLERS
 FOR CAPACITY FOR WORK

When 1t comes to great work and artist of the Chicago White Sox, has all of them on the run. With the exception of Rucker all of the notable hurlers of today are launched with winning clubs whose work is great factor to their sue- cess. Not so with Walsh. With his club barely lowering about the .5O0 mark the big pitcher has made wonderful record this season. While the other stars rest and nurse their arms 10 win the next game, Walsh is pitching game after game with great success. The big fellow Is simply a wonder for work; he has no limit.
 Christy Mathewson, Joe Wood. Rube Marquard Walter Johnson and several others who enjoy regulations of being considerable bears in the pitching trade, are compelled to take a back seat when big Ed Walsh grasps his record by the bridle and trots it down before the re- viewing stand, for thls Walsh person stands alone in class by himself.
 In the din and confusion of the big show the doings of mighty Ed at about the same time were lost track of to q certain extent. Before the Chicago series started Walsh was pointed out as the main reason why the Cubs would not have cinch. and he ran truer to form than any of the pitching stars who made several chapters of history in New York and Boston,
 When one stops and thinks of if, there are any number of pitching stars scat tered over the big leagues. but there isn't one who can come up to the class Walsh has shown in the happy combination of quality and quantity. A lot of them are there with quality believed to be about on a par with Walsh, but when the quan- tty question is raised. they are compelled to hoist the white flag and leave the huge spitballer in command.
 Pitching 42 out of the S5 innings, Walsh won the Chicago series for the White Sox against the Cubs. When the great splitter won the fourth and deciding game 16 to O. he accomplished what no other pitcher ever has reached.
 Beaten in the first three games, omit ing the two ties the Sox were not given an outside chance to win the title. Grad ually, though the Cubs weakened. One game was won by Callahan, then another, and q third Eventually 1t narrowed down to the seventh battle, and Walsh was the choice to pitch for the American league entry. Big Ed responded with an exhibition that only equalled his real ability. While his mates bombarded five Cub hurlers, the "spltball'' king allowed five hits. with not a run. The victory for the White Sox was tho biggest sur prise of all the fall battles
 The Sox and Cubs played nine games two ties, one game going il innings and another 12, which counted up to S6 in- nings, and of this number Walsh worked in 42, allowing only 46 for the rest oi the staff.
 Walsh started off against Jimmy Lay ender, and although he blanked the Cubs in nine Innings, he couldn't win because his mates failed to score off Lavender. On October Il, two days later Walsh pitched three runless innings.

uoIsb and Johnson are easily all Amerl- can class. and Fucker is given preference over Marquard ct al, on account or HIS dependabiity. ,
 McInnis is picked at first after delloera- tion between Chase and Daubert. Col lins gets second on account of his speed. brains and versatility. There IS, accord ing to Rice, only one Hans Wagner, anu Baker is placed before Heinie Zimmerman because he Is a steadier fielder and much less troublesome to umpires.
 The outfield speaks for itself, there be- ing little difference among the critics lh this regard.
 The generosity of the national commits sion in handing the umpires bonus is due to President Johnson of the American league. He placed his 0. K. upon the checks handed him by Secretary Bruce and signed them, after raising the nsures, and experimenting the arbiters upon thelr excellent work during the series. IL might be added that the umpireS received d larger amount for their work during the recent worlds series than in that of any like series before, but their efficient Work was deserving of considerable retriDutlon.
 
 Fans will have to lift their hats to Muggsy McGraw, the chubby manager ol the Giants. The New York chieftain now comes out with the statement liidt Aah9 should be allowed to see tied games Tn world series free of charge. According to McGraw the fan is entitled to see the game finished. and his seat check should entitle him to admission to the game when the tie is being played of.

MANDY SQUAD STRONGER
 THAN THAT LAST SEASON

oncc. The line is, on the whole, as good as last years.
 Strong at Ends On the ends there is a considerable im- provement. The ends play peculiar part in Mci5agins defensive game being used at smashing interfences Muck Brown, the least man on the team, but one of the best ends Vanderbilt ever had, is. back at his old wing and is smashing them better than ever. The other end is not yet settled. but. however. it turns out lt will probably be stronger than last year. Turner has held the place through the early season, but during the past week McGugin has been trying Ailholland, d California boy of much promise, and Sikes, fullbaek. as alternating ends and full. It is probable that this arrange ment will be tried out In tine Mississippi game.
 The Back Field
 Last year the backfield consisted of Ray Morrison and three other men, all of them playing their first year on the team. The three others are all back and without eX- ceptioh have shown remarkable improve ment. Hardage. Silkes and Collins form the speediest trio Vanderbilt has ever had and they wor Altogether with pre- cision that is baffling to the enemy. Cur lln who is holding down the quarter backs job. is no Ray Morrison, of course. but he is better than the average. while the entire backheld, AS a whole, probably stands above that of last year.
 One great strength of the 1912 team Is the large number of excellent substi- tutes. In the baclSfield and on the ends there are Shea, half, Chester, full, Mill holland. end and full; Reams, end, and Robbins, quarter, Tn the line there are porter uufTman Darwin Revere and one of the trio that are being tried out for guards. As matter of fact the Van derbilt substitute team is not so very far below tho class of the regulars. and could give most ;onthern teams a hard tussle for the decision.

PRATT IS ASSISTING GRAVES WITH THE UNIVERSITY SQUAD

University, October 24.-(Special)-Al- though defeated in the past two games with Tech and Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical, Alabama realizes that it's hardest game of the season comes next Saturday. when ueorgia is met Tn Columbus. The Red and Black have one of the strongest teams in years this sea son and the dope points out a Georgia victory, but Alabama Is working hard to upset the dope. In addition to having Derrill Pratt among the coaches. Red Moody is again in uniform atfer being on crutches for four weeks with bad ankle Although Moody will hardly be able to play in the Georgia game, his reappear- ance adds much to the squad. as he has had three years of experience and can help with the running of plays.
 The team has undergone no changes since the game with Mississippi Agricul- tural and Mechanical last Saturday on 4 muddy field and outweighed 10 pounda to the man, Alabama did good work to hold them to one touchdown, which came

Auburn, October 24-(Special )-Realz- ing that the time is practically here for them to show what they are this year, the Auburn Tigers are working hard to get into condition to meet the Mississippi ca dets Saturday. Although not considered the biggest game on Auburn's schedule, it is one that Is going to give the Au- burnites their hands fsll. The game last year with Auburn resulted in victory for Auburn only after one of the hardest games Of the season, the. Tigers played, the score was Il to 6, the Mississippi com ing strong In the last quarter and nearly tieing the score.
 The Auburn team this year has practi- cally the same strength as they had last year in spite of the fact that they lost several star players. The team last year would have undoubtedly developed into a very formidable machine had not fever, sickness and injuries stuck to it through out the season having three or four resu- lars out of the line up in every game, Ressijae has taken the position of full back left vacant by John Davis; Kearley is holding down Cogdells former position

Ellard, Williams and MeGee Doing Excellent Work-Coaches Greatly Pleased and Expect to Give
 Auburn Hard Game

Starkville, Miss October s4.-(Speciai) A. and MS team has rounded to an excellent form during the past week, and the coaches are confident of making the most creditabe showing against Auburn that A. and M. has made in some years.
 Along with other developments that have been made this week Is improve ment in the kicking department McGee and Reule, who have been doing the bulk of the bunting thus far this season. have found a worthy contemporary in MeArthur, who will probably be given charge of this department during the re- maining games.
 Local supporters expect good work from McGee and Kimban in Saturdays game. McGee is exceedingly fast, and besides is hard tackler and is possessed with an almost uncanny adaptability for grabbing forward passes, as his work against Ala bama evidenced. Kimball has been out of the game recently with "charlie horse," but he is again in harness, and his offensive work will mean much to the effectiveness of A. and M attack.
 Ellard and Marshall are two men whose work Is attracting no little comment this season. Captain Ellard Is heavier and faster than last year, and his defensive work thus far has been of sensational or der. Marshall. freshman quarterback or last season, is giving Quarterback Cooper hard run for a regular berth on the squad. The youngster is heavy, fast, sure tackler and accurate with for ward passes. He is lacking in experi- enee, however, and this is the only draw 1 back which is at present Keeping him from the regular lineup.
 The team was put through another hour or fast scrimmage work this afternoon, and again the improvement over last weeks work was plainly in evidence.
 Following is the lineup that will prob aoly be used against Auburn in Birming- i nam Saturday, together with the weight, height and experience of the different men who compose the squad:
 McGee, left end weight 165. height E Feet 10 inches, experience ? years
 Wells, left tackle, weight 169, height 5 rect l linches, experience 2 years. Cassanava, left guard, weight I'll, height feet Il inches, experience years. kuftin, center, weight 1s0. height feet 10 inches experience years

There will be several new managerial faces in the National league next season. if reports of present shake ups prove true Frank Chance, the veteran leader or the Chicago Cubs. will be among the misslng' and Johnny Evers, the peppery shortstop for that aggregation for many seasons will likely obtain the leadership. Tinker who, with Chance and Evers, went 10 make up the backbone of the Cubs' once wonderful infield, is said to be slated Tor a managerial position with the Cincin- pati Reds. Roger Bresnahan, bacKstop and manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, is to he deposed as manager of that club according to reports. It is also rumored that Bresnahan will be offered the lead ership of the St. Louis Browns, wnlch means another shake up of managers Just who will replace Bresnahan With the Cardinals has not yet been announced At any rate 1t seems that number or veteran managers who have helped to make history in the national circuit TOT some seasons past will be among the miss ing when the sap begins to rise In the early spring.
 The signing of Charlie Street by Mana ger Elberfeld of the Chattanooga Look outs for the 1913 aggregation, marks the passing of another prominent veteran from the major ranks. Street IS an Ala bama boy, native of Huntsville, ana has been a star backstop in the Amerl- can league for some seasons. He was for several years the battery mate of the great Walter Johnson, and 1t has been said that he was the only catcher at one time who could handle the shoots or the Washington speed marvel. Street had a bad year last season in the majors owing to Illness, and this is one of the causes of his return to the minors. It will be re- membered that the Alabama boy was the first receiver in the business to catch a ball dropped from the top of Washing ton monument.
 Following is the choice of Grantland Rice. formerly well known southern sporting writer and now with the New York Mail for an all American oasepah team:
 Catchers-Archer (NationaD, Myers (Na- tionaD.
 Pitchers-Johnson (American), Walsh fAmerican), Wood (American), Mathew son (NationaD and Fucker (NationaD
 First Basa--McInnis (American
 Second Base--Colllns (American).
 Shortstop-W Wagner (NationaD.
 Third Base-Baker tAmerican).
 Outfield-Cobb (American), Speaker (American). Jackson (American), Milan fAmerican).
 Archer and Meyers are chosen because between them they represent every req uisite of a backstop. Meyers is an ex- celent hitter and great backstop Archer is versatile, brainy receiver and a great thrower. Both of them are above the average in every department of back stop work. Mathewson, while admittedly not so effective as In former years, is the peer of most major hurlers today Wood.
