BIRMINGHAM BOYS
 MAKE GREAT RECORD IN. ATHLETIC MEET
WASHINGTON OUTFIELDER PUR- JOINED SS BAGS DURING RE- CENT SEASON-FOUND CLEYE- LAND CATCHERS EASY

Thanks to Jupiter Pluvius. any Amen- can league player who starts out next sea son with the intention of shattering Clyde Milan's base stealing record will only haze to filch 80 hassocks. IT the weather man had only held off for half an hour on Au- gust last, Milan's record of larcenies would have been s1 instead of s8. The speedy Senator had stolen three bases in the game with the Browns on the date mentioned when Jupiter Pluvius impinged on the scene and made it necessary for the umpire to call the game in the third inning. The three bases Milan actually stole for which he obtained no credit in either official or unofficial records were gained while Krichell was behind the bat
 Milan Record Breaker
 Record Breaker Milan, who ran fourth in the competition for the Chalmers Amer ican league trophy, found the Cleveland catchers the easiest to steal on, getting 27 of his tNefts in the series with the Maps. On the St. Louis windpaddists he stole 17 bases, not counting the three out of which he was euehred by Jupiter Plu- vius. Milan stole 13 bases on the Detroit

SUCCESS OF CONNIE MACK
 EXAMPLE FOR OTHER MANAGERS

Connie has distaneed all of his former teammates and rivals. By hard work, thrifst, shrewdness and gameness to take long chance he has pushed his way ID. ward in the baseball world.
 His success is a lesson to other man. agers and players. Instead of taking lifs easy during the off season. Manager Mack has kept himself in touch with the gams all over the country. He has toiled when others took their vacations, and his tire less energy has met with its proper re- ward
 An illustration Of how Connie does things was shown recently. He took trip to Milwaukee, where minor leagns magnates from all over the country wers gathered. In six hours of close contact with the men who develop the big league stars Manager Mack secured information that he desired. He acted promptly, and cut adrft six players and secured one an outfielder named Daley from the Pa chc coast.
 With these deals closed, Connie broke away from the scenes of publication and hiked back. Unlike the other baseball men, he wasn't on a vacation He has big business proposition to take care of this winter. This Is to shape up plans for team which he hopes will come back" next year and win the American league pennant Considerable of Connie Macks success is due to his working while other magnates and managers are enjoying life.
 That Ii pays to stick to ones last as a shoemaker or as a magnate is shown In the career of the Athletic leader.

Pity the Indian
From the Rockford dlL) Star.

From tho Rockford tlll) Star. The statement relating to the health of the 300,0O0 Indians, constituting the rem nant of the race of red men still on res ervations under the care of the United States government, contained in a fore cast of the report of the Indian bureau are appalling.
 A death rate of 3o.72 per thousand-over 45 in some tribes-even of vanishing race, is evidence of negligence on the part of a civilized government which assumes a particular responsibility of guardianship over it's material interests. If it is true that of one tribe 9s per cent are tainted with tuberculosis, the fact is a shame upon the white brother who Is spending
 millions to rid his own communities of this plague, and permitting Congress to turn a deaf ear to the needs of the red man. Probably 1t is true that the material wants of the Indian wards are well sup piled. Most~of the tribes have sufficient income for that purpose without making heavy draft on the white mans wam- pun.
 A good measure of educational oppor- tunity is being afforded the younger gen eration: they get religion without stint But they are entitled to health. as we'll and even though the problem may be a difficult one. the government has no right to abandon or disregard it. If civilization, by the change in place and manner of living which it has en- forced on the savage, has caused him to be neglectful of his own health. and no doubt subjected him to attacks of dis
 ease which he would not otherwise have
 met, or which. experiencing, he would have the physical hardihood to with
 stand, 1t is in duty bound to regard him as a special care.

BIRMINGHAM BOYS MAKE GREAT RECORD
 IN ATHLETIC MEET

Gilbert Ritchle, Birminghams crack all round athlete, had no trouble in win ming the third annual all round champion ship athletic meet which was held last Saturday afternoon at the Tulane stadium in New orleans.

The old adage, shoemaker stick to your last" has been given Frank Baker punch The expression is supposed to have originated as an encouragement to apprentices to stick to their line of work instead of trying to seek fortune by jump ing from one position to another. But the case of Connie Mack proves that shoe makers can find success by getting in some other business and sticking ever lasting at 1t.
 When Cornelius AIcGlllicuddy wiped his name off the pay roll of a shoe factory down east and went into baseball as a profession he took long chance of going hungry in sumer and cold in winter. In those days baseball wasn't rated as the national game of America, and even the biggest parks in the country had wooden stands for spectators and lots of knot holes for youths who didn't have the price of admission. Even when he became a major leaguer. Connie often wondered, as he sized up the few fans in the grounds, ! where the money came from to pay the salaries of the players.
 | Twelve years ago when the American league was In process of formation. Con nie could have taken hls bank rol1 and gone into business in a small town. That was the usual route in the old days for baseball players. Instead, he took a long chance and decided to invest his life's say | ings in the club to be formed in Phila- delphia. After 12 years of hardest kind of work as a manager and magnate, Con- ne today blossoms out as one of the big gest owners of baseball stock in the eoun- try. He Is now owner of a one-half in- 1 terest in the Athletics and in Shibe park. No old time baseball player has been able | to reach such height.

BROWN IS CHOSEN NEXT CAPTAIN OF
 THE COMMODORES
Vandy's Veteran Left End Selected to Lead McGugin
 Machine in 1913

Nashville December 2.-(Speeial )-At the annual dinner in honor of the Commo- dore football team given by the Wander bilt Athletic association and interested citizens of this city. held at the Conner cial club tonight, Enoeh Brown of Frank lin, Tenn, was selected by his team mates to succeed Lewie Hardage as captain for 1913. Muck" proved easily the popular choice and Is well qualified for the place, as he is a good all round man, a repre- sentative player and student and is pos sessed of those qualities of disposition not likely to be disturbed with the responsi- bilities of the place. Each member of ths team was presented with gold football by Coach McGugin and speeches were made by Coach McGugin, pr. Dudley Hardage, Muck Brown and others.
 Enoeh Brown, better known as Muck, is 20 years of age and native of Will liamson county. He played at Battle Ground academy before entering Wander bilt. Muck has one specially in foot ball in which it Is contended by southern football critics that he has not had an equal, and that Is in smashing interter- enee Haryard's colossal backs proved as easy for him as Maryvilles midgets.
 Muck is the third edition of the Browns that has figured in Nanderoitt football history his older brother, lnnis, having also been captain of the team, while Allen played on it for three years. He is no kin to the Tom and Charlie Brown also of Commodore football fame of the past few seasons.

HARDAGE SCORED MOST POINTS FOR
 VANDERBILT TEAM

During the strenuous campaign of 1912, which included the best teams in all sec tions of the country, a total of 10 games. Capt. Lewis Hardage of the Vanderbilt team scored the most points for his eleven. Hardage made II touchdowns and made a field goal from placement. This totals up to 94 points, 2s more than Wilson Collins, his next best scoring man. Col lins also made Il touchdowns, which gave him 66 points.
 When Hardage was not in the game, Tom Brown. k. Brown, Curlin and Nor rison did the kicking after touchdown. Curlin also made besides two touchdowns and two goals after touehdowns, four field goals during the season. one of which was against the Harvard eleven at Cam bridge.
 Vanderbilt played 10 games during the season, made 391 points and played a total of 4s6 minutes. These figures give them little less than a point a minute, ex- actly & of point a minute. Consider ing that the teams played were the strongest in their respective sections, the Commodores did wonderfully well.
 The individual records of the Vander- bilt players who scored points during the 1912 season are:

All Kinds of Cotton
Chicago Journal.

from the Chicago Journal
 The southern states lead the world in the production of the ordinary cot ton. and now it looks as though Arizona and California would take the lead in producing the long flores of cotton, which has been monopoly in Egypt.
 The lower valley and delta of the Colorado river in Arizona and Califor- mia 1s in many ways a second and richer Egypt. It has area to cultivate land nearly as great as that of Egypt and it starts new, with no terrible debt and no naked fellaheen to bar the way Of progress. Egyptian cotton produces huge crops in this region. and irrigation is fast bringing new cotton lands under ditch.
 In another 20 years the buyers of the choicest cotton may turn to Ari zona rather than to Alexandria.
