SEASON
E IN EARNEST

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 25.-The South
ern football season of 1913 will swing
into it's full stride today when elevens
representing several leading southern
colleges and universities will clash on
the gridiron.
From a strictly southern viewpoint,
the contest of greatest interest is that
to be staged here between teams from
the Universities Of Virginia and
Georgia. Today's game will be the
first between these elevens in fifteen
years.
The game between the University of
North Carolina. and v. p. /. at Lex
ington, Va. also promises to be a hard
fought battle
The Vanderbilt Michigan game at
Nashville scarcely can be expected to
throw light on the Southern situation,
beyond Indicating the style of play
employed by the commodores this
yea
Other Southern games for today
are:
Washington and Lee vs.. Lake Forest
at Lexington, Va.
Alabama va. Tulane at New Orleans.
Georgia Tech. va. Florida at jack

IMPORTANT GAMES
IN WEST TODAY
Chicago and Purdue to En-
gage in One Elmina-
ton Contest.

Chicago. Oct. "a. --.Arrayins in line
of battle their strongest battiltons for
Il decisive conflict. Chicago and Pur-
due meet here his afternoon in the
feature of The days central
states football program. On the out
come of III game hangs the claim OF
each college to the Years conference
championship and with Il full realiza-
tion of its impurtances, coaches,
trainers and players have striven to-
gethcr TO place in the field their best
teams in the best possible condition.
Chicago rooters take hope from
their belief that Coach Stage has a
lot of maneuvers i'll his repertoire.
which he did not find necessary to un-
cover in the Iowa game last Saturday:
straight football WAS enough to beat
the Hustling Hawkeyes. though it
took the best Midway team to stop
them. Whatever dread of the out
come. Chicago feels is based on re-
the Purdue h%alfback, is likely to
make. The game should be a brilliant
contest of back!ield men-Oliphant.
A%pplegate II O'isrien on n side
and a trio of stars just as bright on
the other in Norgren, Gray and
Pierce.
\ game of nationwide interest
takes place in Nashville. when Michi-
gan meets Vanderbilt. A more or less
battered team represents the Ann Ar
Dor school, but since its defeat by the
Agsies last Saturday. Coach Yost IS
said to have. improved it's general
form. In the Dixie eleven, brought
into great shape, it is said. by Dan
Michigan. a fost pupil. the Wolvcr-
ines are likely to find as tough an OPP
ponen1 as the Lansing team proved
last week..
Wisconsin's veterans hope to
strengthen their hope for a successful
year and regain prestige by downing
the Michigan agricultural college
team today. The badgers, held to a
tie last Saturday by Purdue, have de-
voted Il hard week Of training to pre-
pairing themselves for the team that
downed Yost's men. n late reports
from Madison indicate a confidence
in the outcome fully equal to that eX-
pressed by the aggies.
An annual battle Of more than US
ual interest is on the cards for Indian
apolis, where Illinois and Indiana
meet. Prophets are inclined to favor
the former and the game will prove a
real test of Zuppke's ability as a
coach and of his teams calibre as re-
CARDS its championship chances.
misfortune seems to follow n
Northwestern team and the slump re-
port from Iowa will have to be pretty
severe, say critics. to keep the
Hawkeyes from beating the Purple at
Evanston. Among important games
today are.
Purdue VS.. Chicago al Chicago.

IN favor OF GREATER
LIBERTY FOR AMATEURS

New York, Oct. 25.-Gustavus Kir-
by, president of the Amateur Athletic
union, is in favor of a liberal
policy on the part of the governing
body in amateur sports al regards

professionals, he declared in an adj

IT is

Chicago. Oct. o5.-Usiff Mahmout,
the Bulgarian wrestler who has met
a number of American mat men, in
Guiding Gotch. by. whom he was de-
feated, was killed by Bulgarian ban

a town to draw some money to pay
the men in his command. Sixteen
bandits. learning of the purpose of
his trip. waylaid- him on his return

Chicago, Oct. 25.-A story going
the rounds here has it that Roger
Bresnalhan will be traded to Brooklyn
to succeed Bill Dahlen as manage of
the Dodgers.
AT Murphy's Office it was said that
no trade involving Bresnahan, or any
one else in fact, was being consider
ed. Rumors of the deal did not hint
at what players or what other consid-
erations the Chicago club was to re-
ceive for the catcher.
Bresnahan was signed as second
catcher last winter. but took part in
comparatively few games. His salary,
reported to be $4,000 annually. is
considered by the club. it is said, too
high for the services he rendered the
team.
Reports last summer of discord on
the team when it was suffering from
a losing streak" included Bresnahan
as leader Of a small faction opposing
Manager Evers. but as the season
drew to a close relations between the
two seemed friendly.
Evers' success as manager did away
with one reason for Bresnahan's re-
tention. II stories are to be credited
that the latter was held in reserve to
take the leadership in case the form
or failed.

MANY REFORMS
ARE DEMANDED
Baseball Players Formulate
New Rulings to Present
to Club Owners.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Statements were
made here last night that major
league baseball players who are mem
bers of the Players Protective frater-
nifty, have signed an agreement not to
close contracts for the season of 1914
until after h annual meetings OF the
club owners. at which certain reforms,
drawn by the players, will be submit
ted. What purports to be a list OF
twenty demands to be presented by
the players to the American league
owners in Chicago or November 6 and
the National league club in
New York in December, was received
in Chicago today. The more import
ant demands in the list are:
When a player receives ten days
notice Of unconditional release he
shall be free to sign with any team
Immediately.
National association players shall
receive ten days notice before they
can be released Internationally.
Players shall be transferred subjec,
to all the terms of their contracts.
Every team shall furnish each play
er two complete sets of uniforms, ex-
elusive Of shoes.
If a regular contract is not rendered
q probationary player before the ex-
piration of the forty-five-day proba-
tionary period he shall be a free agent.
II a player has been in the major
leagues for any portion of the play
ing season of ten different years, and
if at the end of the tenth year no
team in such leagues desires his SER
vices. he shall receive his uncondi-
tional release, subject to the reserva-
ton of the club which signs him.
No player shall be Disseminated
against because of his connection
with the fraternity.
Before a player shall be released
outright Or under an optional agree
ment 10 a team of lower classification.
waivers shall first be secured from ali
teams in his classification, and then
from all teams, if any, between thai
classification and the one to which he
goes, according to their priority grade.
Before a drafted or purchased play
er, after the expiration of the season
following his draft or purchase, shall
be released under an optional agree
ment, waivers shall be secured from
all teams in his classification for ST.
500, IL he be a major league player.
and $3.50 II he be an "AA' classinca-
ton player.
Waivers having been secured as set
forth above n player may be released
under an optional agreement at any
price, which shall be the same for all
cla~ssitications. by rendering him to the
lower classification according TO their
priority in grade; provided that in all
cases where waivers are to be secured

AFTER THE UMPIRE.

Besides umpiring. what's the most
thankless task in baseball? There is
no hesitation in awarding first place
to the arbitrator. A straw vote of
100000 fans probably would hand it
to him unanimously. Blu the selec-
ton Of the second most unpopular job
would not be so unanimous.
There's The manager, who is blamed
for all the teams which are failures,
and whose successes are won for him
by his team. leaving him little of the
credit. but he gets something like slIb-
tantial thanks through his semi
monthly pay envelope.
There's the bat boy. who is cursed
at both ends Of his beat-by' the UNI
pire and opposing catcher-if he
doesn't hustle the discarded bats out
of the way instantly, and by the bench
warmers if he fails to return the sticks
to their proper places in the woodpilc,
or f0rgets to arrange them with the
handles all pointing in the same d.
rection.
Trainer Gets Blame.
There's the trainer, who is blamed
for every little thing that is misplaced
in the clubhouse while he is busy at
tending the aches and bruises and
sleeps in an upper berth every night
~ Oho SoS vi SNClI tdCdll
trainers berth there are forty appli-
cants. even il 1t is an upper.
There's the scribe. who becomes
an invidious person and a knocker to
the players and club owners if he
criticises. and .is Blamed by the root
ers If he doesn't roast everybody ex-
cept the rooters' idol.
But all these are ideal jobs com.
pared to that Of the coacher at third
base. He a go right up to the last
day Of a seasOn using grand judgment
in stopping runners or sending them
home. without a word Of praise.
But IL he makes a mistake in the
18th game Of the year everybody in
sight hops on him.
Coach Must BE Alert.
With a good ball team fighting for
position, coaching at third base r
ries a lot of responsibility. It is a
lot more important than 1t looks, or
than the similar position back Of first
base. 80
Runners on first have the play in
front Of them most Of the time and
can coach themselves except in a few
instances. The first base coach mere.
ly supplies an extra pair Of eyes and
a little alertness. The coach at third
must have are judgment and know
a lot Of things.
