NOW ADAM AND EVE
ARE CALLED FAKERS
Ii You Are to Believe What Chicago
University Professor Claims.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Prof. William
Duncan Mcmillan of the University CT
Chicago astonished his class today By
whacking Adam and Eve as fakes.
Biblical chroniclers arranged the
story of Adam and Eve from folk lore
to explain the origin of man." said he.
There can be no doubt that Adam
and Eve and their temper, the SCRIP
ent, never actually existed. The story
cannot be considered anything but a
myth, evolved by the ancients to ac-
count for the presence of humans upon
earth. The universally credited theory
of evolution smashes the one-man-and
one-woman story. There never was a
first man or first woman.
"If Adam and Eve lived in the Gar
den of Eden six thousand years ago
and light travels at the rate of 1885, 900
miles per second, with our present-day
powerful microscopic lenses we should
still be able to see them in Paradise. 4"

JOE TINKER WILL
AGAIN LEAD REDS
Signs Contract for 1914
Season-Trouble With
Hermann Settled

Cincinnati, October sO.-Manager Joe
Tinker of the Cincinnati National league
club today signed a contract to manage
the team for the season of 1914 The sign
ing followed lengthy conference between
Tinker and President Hermann. at which
the policy of the club for 1914 was gone
over.
His signature to the contract sets at
rest many rumors circulated latterly to
the effect that Tinker would not be re-
tanned owing to a statement given out in
Philadelphia last summer. In this he Sc
verely criticised Herrmanns methods of
interfering with what Tinker believed
We're the duties of the manager. At the
time Tinker insisted that he could not
construct a good team on a penurious
policy, and Hermann continued to make
trades without consulting him. Today
Mr.. Hermann said:
There has never been any other man
ager in my mind for next season, and l
hope now that these rumors of friction
will stop. No real differences ever ex-
listed between Tinker and myself. We
had different ideas. that is certain, but
these were easy to adjust. I am ex-
tremely glad that he has signed"
1t was decided that the team will train
at Alexandria, La, next spring.

MANAGER BRANCH RICKEY
DISCUSSES STOVALL CASE

st. Louis, October 30.--In order to cor
rect what is evidently a misunderstanding
of what has been said by either Mr.
Hedges or myself. stated Manager Hickey
of the Browns in an interview here today,
| desire to make the positive statement
that at no time has either manager, Mr.
Frank Chance, or owner Mr.. Frank Far
reil, of the New York american leaguel
club made any offer. either directly or in
directly, for the services of Player George
StoVall
Furthermore, no pressure has been
brought to bear upon the New York club
or anyone else to secure waivers on Sto-
vail Such waivers were asked in the
usual manner and secured promptly.
However, following the close of the
American league season we wrote the
several owners OF the American league
teams, also the owners of the National
league teams, saying that while waivers
had been secured we felt that perhaps at
the close of the season they had found
that they might be able to use First Base
man Stovall.
We have to date received no offer of
any kind from any major league club for
his services. On the other hand, we have
several replies, stating that FOR one rea.

Tigers to their utmost pace from the
start.
The Bengals were unusually fortunate
in the Texas game, Notwithstanding the
fact that defeat was their portion, as
not single man received a serious In
jury. Chapman was practically the only
man to show any effects of the game
with the Longhorns. He received bad
bruises around the knees and is some
what stiffened. Cope had anticipated far
more injuries and he had viewed the Tech
game with great apprehension from the
beginning of the season, largely because
of It's position on the schedule.
Neither the Individual Tigers nor their
pilot Is making any predictions as to the
outcome of the fracas, but the Bengals
as usual are optimistic A terrific fray,
however, Is considered a certainty.
One interesting feature of the game will
be the quarterback duel between Pat
ten and Tolley, which will in reality be
but continuance of gridiron rivalry
which was inaugurated between the two
in 1911, when the Purple quarter and the
Jacket quarter were the stars of McCallie
and Baylor, respectively, the two invet-
crate football enemies of this city. Toll
ley and his henchmen were the victors
in this fray and the Bengals are hoping
that history will repeat itself.
The Tigers will leave the mountain Fri
day afternoon and after laying off for a
short while here will continue straight
to Atlanta. Accommodation has been

should be pleased If any major league club
will make an offer for this player.
1t has been freqeuntly printed that Sto-
vail has been told that he would neither
receive his release nor be allowed to play
on our club. This has never been said.
He win receive his unconditional release,
for reasons given in the letter of Mr..
Hedges to Stovall, also other reasons
which ] believe have been given pre-
Yiously to the public.
Three differ ent managerial positions
have been secured for Mr.. Stovall. all be-
ing positions of prestige and a splendid
salary. In my opinion, the disposition OF
Mr. Stovail to any.of these clubs would
probably have meant much to the st.

getting very valuable player in ex-
change. and in each of the others We We're
getting the pick of the ball club for the
season of 1914. These transfers We're in

consider any of these places, and has also
blocked several other prospective deals
we have made for him that would have
meant players to our club.
According to the newspaper reports
Stovall has stated that he was tampering
with the Browns previous to his leaving
the club. This fact was very well known
to me at that time.

Tiger EleUen In Fine Shape
For Game With Tech Saturday

Chattanooga, october 30.-(Special.)
When the Sewanee Tigers clash with
Tech Saturday afternoon, Copes Bengals
will present the most formidable fight
ing front that they have presented dur
ing the present season. This is partially
due to the transfer of Ward to end and
also partly to the fact that the Jungle
men have now reached for the first time
their topmost stride.
Unless material changes are made in
Copes plans, the Tigers will open Satur-
day with Ward and Myers on ends; Moore
and Dobbins ON tackles; McCallum and
Magwooc on guards, and Barnwell at
center. The backfield, of course. will be
composed of Tolley at quarter; Palmer
and Hammond at halves, and Parker at
full.
With this lineup the Tigers will possess
a grand team average of 166 pounds. The
ends will average 165 pounds and the line
from tackle to tackle will average 1771s
pounds. The baekfield will average 154
pounds
The installation of Ward at end will
give Cope two men available for either
end or backfield duty and will render him
fairly well fortified in case of injuries.
The Tiger leader has several available
linemen for emergency and hence enters
