Nashville. Tenn, October 19.-(Special)- The gentle avocation of football ringer" isn't what it used to be, thanks to scholarship qualifications, the opening up of the game and general improvement in athletic ethics. The time was, how ever. when the locusts of Egypt were hardly more numerous than this other quick fitting insect that piled his trade in all branches of college athletics.
 Ringer Sentiment
 The years between 1903 and 1906 wit ringer sentiment in the southern field. It was during this first year that the famous Cumberland University team was that closed out the year with a jump of about half It's outfit to Penn sylvania institution and open talk among the players regarding the propriety of suit upon certain notes reported to bear the signature of certain college official. This episode resulted finally in football being tabooed at that institution with a revival only this season.
 Louisiana and Georgia's wonderful teams came close together. That at L. S. U. was gathered from the four quarters or the gloDe, so IL was understood. Tn any event several members were from Pennsylvania and other remote points. There were several sad features con- nected with the L. S. U. season of 1905, including the death of one of the players who had not been that far south long enough to become acclimated.

adopted at the last annual meeting of the Southern Field Trials club, relative to the registration of Derby dogs. for the in- formation of the field trial world, the full text of the resolution is quoted as follows:
 Resolved, That hereafter all pointers and settlers entered in the Derby of the Southern Field Trials club shall be duly registered in some authentic field dog or stud book
 ',The purpose of the resolution is to preclude the possibility of a pointer or setter participating in our Derby stake, that is over the Derby age. The full and complete protection of all patrons of field trials Is contemplated by the terms and scope of the resolution, while no possible harm or hardship could arise by requiring a strict observance of it's pro- visions.
 Tt makes no difference to the members of the Southern Field Trials club in what stud book or register a Derby dog is registered-all that is required is registra- tion which can be had for all dogs, eligi- ble to the same, upon the payment of the nominal fee of $1 when accompanied by the proper papers of breeding, etc.
 "In order to preclude the faintest possi- bilty of the rule of the Southern Field Trials club, relative to registration, be- ing construed or distorted by any into be- ing hardship. the announcement is hereby made that owners and agents of all dogs, eligible to our Derby stake. have up to this December Q, 1912. the date of our trials. to secure registration of their Derby entries.
 "The trials of the Southern Field Trials club will be held at Letohatchie, Ala, with Montgomery as headquarters. the week beginning December g. 1912 The entries to the Derby and All-age stakes. the guaranteed value of which Is S50 each. close November 1, 1912"

HIGH SCHOOL AND U. OF A. RESERVES
 PLAY TO A DRAW

Despite a muddy and slippery field, the Alabama reserves and the local High school fought a very interesting nothing to nothing draw at West End park yes terday afternoon.
 The High school boys were slightly out weighed by their opponent. but showed considerably more speed and team work. In the first quarter the weight of the Alabamans told upon their lighter op- ponents and High was forced to remain on the defensive most of the time. How ever, in the third and last quarters the local boys kept the pigskin in the Col legians' territory practically all of the time
 For High school the work of Stephenson and Barker was especially good while Kelley and Miller did good work for the Reserves.

Chattanooga, Tenn, October 19.-The largest crowd in the history of the local gridiron is expected at Chamberlain Field Saturday, October 26, when the Sewanee Tigers and the Tennessee Volunteers clash in the first real football struggle which this city has witnessed in ten years. The battle will be the first s. |. A. A. struggle ever staged in Chatta- nooga. The game will be henceforth an annual affair.
 Both Tennessee and Sewanee have a huge following in this city. The Vol supporters probably predominate, but the purple henchmen are far more notice able in the enthusiasm of their prepara- tions. The alumni of both schools are working assiduously for the reception of their representatives.

alumni of Tennessee, visited Knoxville Thursday and addressed the entire stu dent body in the chapel. Reports from the 'hill" today indicate that practically the entire student body will be present when the referees whistle inaugurates the fray. A special rate has been ar ranged with the railroads.
 The officials of the fray will be of hardly less interest than the two oppos- ing teams. The referee selected is none other than Ted Coy, the famous Yale athlete, and Walter Camps all-American all-time fullback. Ed Metallic, the fa- nous Cornell half of 1909, will umpire. Rike, of Ohio Wesleyan, will act as lines man.
 Both Sewanee and Tennessee are far stronger than last year. but the odds at present here favor the purple athletes of Cope. The consensus of opinion appears to be that the Tigers will win by from one to two touchdowns.

The sporting editor of The Age-Her- aid was one of the few who thought New York would win. In the knowl- edge of how the series terminated, 1t is true that he missed his guess. But it Is not necessarily true that his >judg- ment was bad.
 The series, as is remembered, was terminated in the tenth inning Of the eighth game. There Is no man under the sun who possesses effrontery suf- ficiently braZen to contend that had Snodgrass caught Engle's fly in that fatal tenth inning, the chances or the Giants to win would have been 10 to l.. And the fly was not difficult. The Giant outfielder got under the sphere, and patiently awaited its fall. He dropped it, and Engle, who had been first up for Boston in that inning, went to second. Suppose Snodgrass had caught the ball. One man would have been out. Speaker singled. Hooper flied out. With two gone and Speaker on first, what would have been the chances of Boston to have scored?
 This is not necessarily of importance save to add evidence perculiarly strong Of how ridiculous it was that 97 per cent of the baseball writers of the country selected Boston to win. From the result of the series, the experts should at least have been equally di- yided
 In selecting a winner of any future event, those preparing to make predic- tions consider the form of the contest ants under normal conditions. In other words no account is taken of the pos abilities For instance, no one figured on Snodgrass dropping fly ball In the tenth inning of the eighth game which cost his club the championship of the world.
 The world at large expected Wood Collins and Tesreau to prove the pitch ing stars: Speaker and Doyle to do the bulk of hitting, and certain others to do the fielding and the base running. The surprises of the series, therefore, from the standpoint of the worlds prediction, were Marquard and Bedient and certainly Mathewson. ln reference to the peerless "Matty" there was gen. eral doubt, many experts having con- tended that the veteran had served bis period of usefulness. We know, however, as a result of the series, that whereas he was beaten twice. he lost one game through the woeful errors c. Fletcher-7who was a distinct lem on'-and another through the fatal err TOT of Snodgrass. In both of these games, according to the verdicts ren- dered by those who saw the struggle. he outpitched his more youthful op- ponents.
 It would serve very little purpose for us to defend the guess we made. But in that guess" there were at least

two features which are worth re1er- ence. In the first place, we expressed the opinion that whereas everyone, in clnding Manager McGraw, was depend- ing on Tesreau to do the star work for New York. "Rube" Marquard would show to best advantage. According to the records Marquard was the pitching star of the series, inasmuch as he won two games without experiencing de- feat. Hugh Bedient had a clean sheet, but he did not conclude more than ore game. Wood was brilliant. although his record of three victories was niarred by a cruel beating.
 And we expressed our confidence in the worth of Mathewson. While Mathewson did not win a game, 1t IS the unanimous opinion of experts that his work was magnificent, magnificent even against terrible odds.
 The series was not as brilliant as others have been. For splendid work it could not approach that worlds se- iies played between the Cubs and White Sox of Chicago. It could not be ranked. from a standpoint or oril- liance, with the last fall between the Giants and the Athletics.
 But it was the most gruelling ana exciting series ever played between representative teams of the two major leagues, and on that account will live in baseball history for many years to come.
 And so evenly matched were the con tending forces that were they to meet again, no one would dare to express himself as being positive of the victory of either.

VANDERBILT WINS 46 TO 0. HARDAGE STARS, WHILE BIG M'WHORTER LOOKS BADLY. COMMODORES WILL EVIDENT LY SWEEP SOUTH

Atlanta, October 19.-(Special )-Vander- bilt went wild over their heavier Georgia opponents here today on field two inches deep in mud and with standing water in some places, the final count showing 46 to O. The muddy field did not retard the speed of the Commodore bacl1fleld in the least, Sykes, Collins, Hardage and Rob bins tearing off gains after gains of 20 or more yards at a clip.
 Hardage branded the report that he was yellow as a lie of the full cloth. It gen. orally took about three Georgia men to stop him. once he got started and on three occasions he went right through the center of the entire Georgia team for gains of 20 yards or more. Hardage ran back for a punt 60 yards one time. while Collins caught Georgia forward pass and, lodging here and there, ran six yards for a touchdown.
 McWhOrter Looked Badly
 On the defensive play the two Browns. Enoch and Tom, were the stars for Van derbilt, while Big Henderson, the Georgia center, was their bulwark.
 The showing of McWhorter, the Georgia star was disappointing. the Vanderbilt backs not running round him, but rough shod right over him. Dorsey, Georgia s little 100 pound quarterback, showed the best all round work of the entire Georgia eleven.
 A crowd of 5000 persons witnessed the battle nine-tenths of whom were for the Red and Black. The betting before the game was on Georgia scoring. Vanderbilt made 13 points in the first quarter. six in the second and third each, and 21 in the fourth Georgia never threatened the Van derbilt line. the nearest they approached being the 20 yard line.

YALE DEFEATS
 ARMY ELEVEN

West Point, N. r., October 19,--After two successive years of defeat Yale re- gained her football supremacy over West Point in a fiercely fought game here to- day by a score of to o. The touchdown came at the opening of the second period after the Yale offensei had torn through the army team to the nine yard line at the close of the first period. After the rest three Yale rushes brought the touch down. Phillbin failed at the goal.
 The Yale team was the superior of the West Point eleven in all departments of the game, but errors of the Blue pre- vented the Ellis from rolling up double figures F'ullback Flynn of the Yale team was a brilliant figure on offensive work, but made three muffs of cadet punts. each of which gave the ball to West Point. A fourth Yale tumble came on West Points one yard line, when a touchdown seemed inevitable.
 Both teams clung largely to the old fashioned type of football, but West Point was successful in three forward passes and Yale made four completed passes.
 While the West Point offense crumpled up against the stubborn and aggressive Blue line seldom being able to covef more than two or three yards, the army defense was of a high order. On many occasions Flynn and Spalding were nailed without gain or hurled back for losses of several yards. Lineup and summary

A POSTAL TELEGRAPH

Postmaster General Hitchcock
comes out in favor of government
ownership and control of the tele-
graph system. This was the posi-
ton taken by Senator Hill while
in the senate and by John Wana-
maker while in Harrison's cabi-
net
The president is opposed to agi-
tating this matter at the present
time. But Roosevelt and La Fol-
lette favor the proposition as do
the progressives in both of the old
parties-also the socialists.
Adamson of Georgia, chairman
of the house committee on inter
state commerce says: 81 am not
in favor of the government owning
anything that individuals can own
under proper control"
Gumshoe Bill Stone, senator from
Missouri, who has been much op-
posed to government ownership of
railroads, said: 81 can see more
good reason why the government
should own the telegraph than why
it should own the railroads"

LAWS OBSOLETE

The Sherman Act will be a
source of business disturbance as
long as it exists on the statute
book.
1t is piece of village persifage
and pousse piffie for President
Taft to say that his business is to
enforce the law.
The real fact is that more than
one-half the laws on the statute
books are obsolete laws. Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Wickersham enforce such
laws only as they think should be
enforced, and then they enforce
these laws against those concerns
only which they regard as polite
to prosecute.
Very few bad laws are ever re-
pealed. They simply dry up and
are forgotten. The law books are
filled with silly laws that no law
yer dare cite, and no judge dare
enforce, simply because the prop
osition is not backed up by Public
