though he tried hard and conscien-
tiously to train himself, conditions
and circumstances were against him
and when the championship season
started he was far from being in his
true form. He might have thought he
was, but McGraw knew he was not.
Never in Good Condition.
1t was lack of spring training that
put RUDE on the back trail He
imagined he was as good as he ever
was. He had the same confidence in
himself as when he was primed to the
pitching top notch, but he was fooleN
as many athletes have been before
him. He overestimated his ability, his
strength and his stamina. He was not
the same RUDE who had won nineteen
straight.
The recent Worlds Series settled
Marquard with McGraw And | have
the idea that it was his garruious
writing about the Worlds Series
games that had as much to do with
McGraws decision to trade him as his
poor showing in the box.
The trouble with the baseball writ
ers who dictate their stories is that
they fail to duly appreciate how mere
words, dictated Immediately after a
game when they are sore at heart and
in spirit, will look in cold type.
There is no doubt that some of the
criticisms of his fellow players that
appeared under his name cut sorely
deep and hard-they hurt.

Three Magnates in
Favor of Shorter
Baseball Schedule

PlTTSBURG, Oct. S0.-Three National
League magnates to-day stand in ia
vor of a shorter regular baseball season,
with an interleague series Of go games
to follow. They are to-day hoping other
magnates in both leagues will get the
same idea. President Murphy, OF the
Cubs. President Ebbets, of Brooklyn,
and President Dreyfus, of this city, are
for the new scheme.
Dreyfus, after working out his ideas,
drafted the schedule into comprehen-
sive shape and mailed a copy to each
Of his colleagues. with the request that
the mater be carefully considered.
The first reply to be received in
Pittsburg was that Of the Chicago mag
nate. Charles II. Ebbets. president of
Brooklyn, has also been heard from.
He is impressed with the plan, for he
also asks the Pittsburger to furnish
him with further details. The Brooklyn
magnate is an adept at making sched-

DIXIE LEAGUE
SHUTSUP SHOP;
C0ULDN I PAY
Secretary Harry Farr Hints to
Birmingham Man That ''the
Ship Has Sunk"

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. sO.-The
" Dixie League has formed,
scheduled it's games, played
them and had the pennant awarded
even before the fumes of a World s
Series had been cleared from the
atmosphere, according to reports.
The rumor came that they would
buck organized baseball if they could
not enter the ranks of the legitimate.
Then many fans were doubtful about
the brain part of the proposed league.
But they still held that if they failed
to get under the organized blanket
they would call halt.
Now they have called halt. Thus
the Dixie League finishes one of the
fastest schedules on record. The
league disbanded in better shape than
any league ever has, for the only eX-
pense was the stationery.
They have called off the dogs and
decided that there would be no new
league. This intelligence comes from
Harry n. Farr, the secretary of the
proposed venture. In correspondence
with well known Birmingham man
who was feeling around for the job of
manager Of one of the clubs, Mr.. Farr
states tndt MS ASSOCIATION COulu not
gain recognition by organized ball,
and that otherwise they considered it
a hopeless fight. hence they were
going to let the matter stop right
where itsbegan.
The wise ones think there was real
ly no room for two clubs in the cities
mentioned in the proposed line up.
With the possible exception of Bir-
mingham and Atlanta, the other towns
along the route would have proved a
frost, and Shreveport and Little Rock
have been weighed in the balance and
found wanting. They were tried out
in the Southern. floundered along for
a little while and then fell by the
wayside, giving up their franchises. 1t
is even doubtful if double team
league would pay in Birmingham and
the Cracker town. Especially does 1t
look doubtful that it would il an out
law league had been formed.
II major outlaws like the Federal
League could not afford to pay over
200 bucks per month, II does not stand
reasonable to argue that the minor
ones would be forced to come much
under this figure.
Local fans take it for granted that
this message from Mr.. Farr is straight
goods. and that the Dixie League will
hold it's funeral services soon and to
dust return.

year. Here is what the Tiger
hurler has to say on the subject:
Bush. | believe, will be one of
the greatest pitchers in this
league In a year or so. He shut
us out in Philadelphia on our last
trip there, and in that game he
displayed so per cent more stuff
than in any previous encounter
with the Tigers. He had plenty
of speed and a wicked curve.
, Bush, of course, will never be in
the Walter Johnson class, but /
would not be surprised T. he won
as many games. He will have a
great hitting club behind him.
Bush is pitcher after the style
of Jack Cooinbs. and Is much bet
ter than Shawkey. Brown or
Houck"

SEWANEE PUTS
ONWEICHTFOR
TECH BATTLE
Purple Team viii Average l66
Pounds for Game at Grant
Field Saturday.
TENN. Oct, 3

~HATTANOOGA, TENN, Oct. 30.
Sewanee will enter the game
with Tech Saturday with the
heaviest lineup which has repre-
sented the Purple this season. The
jump in avoirdupois is due to the
installation OF Ward at right end in
lieu of Chapman, who was badly bat
tered up in the Texas game last Sat
uFday.
The Purple team will average, when
1t takes the field against the Jackets,
1856 pounds. The average of the back
field will be 154 pounds, the average
Of the ends 1865 pounds and the aver
age of the line (tackle to tackled
III IL pounds.
The placing Of Ward at end will
apparently strengthen the Tigers de-
tense to a great degree. In the Ten
nessee game here Rainey returned
many of Tolley's punts practically to
the point from where they originated
because Of the failure of the ends 10
escape being blocked or OF their tar
diness in getting down the field All
this has now been eliminated, how
ever and the utilization of three reg
ular ends has greatly increased the
efficiency of this department.
Another advantage which follows
from the use OF Ward at end is the
availability Of two men, Ward and
Chapman, for either an end or back
field position. This leaves Cope fairly
well protected in case of injuries, as
he has a number of good surplus men
for the line 1t will, also enable him
to replace firing man at any mo-
ment.
Sewanee is looking forward to the
Jacket struggle as one of the hardest
of the season, and the showing Of
Tech against Florida is not being ap-
praised in serious tisures-neither is
the showing Of the Bengals against
Texas. Both teams held themselves
In reserve and each apparently recog-
nizes the act upon the part OF the
other. No predictions are being made,
but the Tigers are more than hopeful
The Bengals will leave the Noun
tain Friday morning and take the
Dixie Flyer here Friday afternoon for
the Georgia metropolis. The team
will stop at the Georgian Terrace.

Sidelights on Sports
BY A. =. C. MITCHELL

GORGE STALLINGS says
" President Lynch, of the Ma
tional League, is "oniy an UNI
pire."
He means to convey the idea
that Lynch has never developed
beyond the range OF the official in

balls and strikes makes other de-
cisions and cans players who say
things to him that they shouldn't

WEARS ago in the day OF Georg
Henschel Cor was it when
Gericke first came over?) there
appeared in the ranks of the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra French
horn player, whose artistic skill
on that wind instrument quickly
attracted the attention of those
in the audience that knew the diff
ference between mediocre horn
playing. His reputation grew
apace and in the course of time
he became known as one of the
most expert performers on the
instrument in the world.
But as his reputation increased
he began to abuse his wife, and
finally at the zenith of his career
neglected her altogether. A friend
reconstructed.

fiicked the ashes from a cigarette
and expanded his chest-"while
my wife, she is still a leedle spar
row yet"
g TALLINGS idea is that Lynch
is still a sparrow at the head
of the National League, while he
ought to be an eagle. President
Gaffney, it is understood, shares
his managers opinion of Lynch's
ability.
While Garry Hermann, of Gin
cinnati. has no eagle to bring to
the front as his candidate for the
presidency of the old organiza-
ton, he Is quite willing that an
elk should be elected. Robert
Brown. of Louisville, the man
that Hermann Is grooming for
the place, was formerly Grand
Exalted Ruler of the B. p. o. L.
Hermann also held that high Of
flee once.
or course, II takes a pretty able,
not TO say popular, man to be
elected Exalted Ruler of the Elks.
What the club owners of the Ma
tional League wish to know, how
ever, Is: How much baseball
does Mr.. Brown know"
p EPORTS that Konetchy is to
be traded to the Giants are
denied by President Hampstead
and Manager McGraw. However.
there is this to be said:
Before the close OF tie National
League season Manager Hug
gins. of the st. Louis Cardinals.
confided to a prominent baseball
man that he intended to trade off
honetchy, MoWrey, Hauser and
Sallee. and Ill their places with
men who would work for the in
terests Of the team. These four
men are very much dissatisfied
with their berth in St Louis, 80

They are mighty good ball play

arises: Wouldn't ii be better to
get manager in ct. Louis who
can handle the discontinued ones
rather than let four good men go?

men In baseball Is OF the opln-
