With Louisiana Opponents

art. The visiting players were content
with one touchdown each quarter. Had
they cared to push matters a bit they
could have scored two or three times in
each period. At that the All Stars did
not send in their best aggregation, as
Roy Morrison was on the side lines
throughout.
To Hardage, the star Vanderbilt half,
goes the majority of the glory earned by
the visitors. From the first play until the
closing whistle his work featured.
After Louisiana kicked the All Stars
rushed the ball to the five yard line, US
ing Hardage repeatedly for gains of from
four to 20 yards. Nelley carried it over,
fumbled, and the ball was recovered by
Adams for the first touchdown.
Then the All Stars began kidding the
Louisianans, trying one complicated for
ward pass after another. Once six men
handled the ball, but it was dropped by
Rcbins, the last to receive It, Occasional
ly plays were attempted without signals.
Opening the second quarter, the visitors
buckled down to business for a few min
utes, but after Nelley had scored a
touchdown the playful tactics were again
employed. Each quarter that followed
was the same, one touchdown and then
burlesque.

AS seen from the above list Manager
Molesworth is pretty well fortified for
the opening of the coming season. The
chubby manager feels confident that
from these men he can select an aggre-
cation OF ball tossers that will be amply
able to mix things with anything in The
Southern next season.
In fact, SO well pleased is "Moley'
with his present roster, that he is going
TO stand pat upon what he has unless
he gets an opportunity to pick up some
star of extra high calibre.
II can see no reason why I should
not be able to get a good all-round team
from the men 1 have" he writes to
President Baugh of the local club. ''rhe
old men furnish a good nucleus around
which to build up a team and from what
I can learn of the new men, they ought
TO be able to fill in the vacancies In a
satisfactory manner
From the way that the Baron man
nger has selected his new material il is
easily seen that he is going TO depend
10 large extent upon the veteran 1872
champions. lie has secured two third
basemen, who in addition to Carroll will
furnish the quota from which a regular

Wins From Nelson

New Orleans, January 4.-FranlSie Rus
sell, a French market lightweight, was
awarded decision over Battling Mel
son after 10 round fight here last night.
Nelson showed the effects OF his mauling
and apparently was pretty we'll battered
up at the finish. After the last gong
Nelson declared that because of the condi-
ton of his hands he had agreed to no
decision contest, and carried his COM
plants to the crowd in a speech.
In answer TO Nelson's declaration, Pro-
moter d. I. Tortorich made the follow
ing statement:
Five minutes before the fight Jack
Robinson, Nelson's manager, who had
previously agreed to a referees decision.
said there must be no decision or he
would not allow Nelson to fight. The
crowd expected decision and saw that
it would not be treating them right to
put on a no-decision exhibition.
"The only way out of the dilemma was
to agree to Robinson's unreasonable de-
mand and then forget to inform the
referee. This did and I consider it was
better to protect the public than to pro-
teet Battling Nelson"

VANDY SCHEDULE
NEARLY COMPLETED
Auburn, Virginia and Michi-
gan Furnish Big Cards
for COmmOdOres

Nashville January (Special)-Nar-
derbilt's football schedule for 1918 is prac-
tically arranged with five games booked
and the other three practical certainties.
The games so far arranged are with Vir-
giria, Auburn, Michigan, Tennessee and
Sewanee while the Maryville and Rose
Poly games are perennial affairs and
hardly require the formality of arrange
ment, for they always happen. In all
likelihood Central of Kentucky will be
the eighth team played.
For the first time since Michigan was
here four years ago will a really big
game outside of Thanksgiving affair be
viewed by the local football public. The
Virginia game of the past season was a
hummer, but indications as to Virginia s
prospects were so disappointing that the
attending crowd was Indifferent In pro-
portion. The Michigan game ought to pc
a great one, as both squads promise 10
be formidable next year. Regardless OF
the brother-in-law feature and previous
intimate relations as coach and player
and present business associations, the
rivalry between Yost and McGugin is
very keen and the local public has hopes
of finally seeing the historic Ann Arpor
hoodoo shattered the coming season.
The road activity of the team next sea-
son will be devoted to the Virginia and
Auburn games. No third jaunt will be
attempted, as was the case the past sea-
son. when the wear and tear of travel on
top of the very arduous schedule caused
an unusually heavy injury list and conse-
quently had the squad much below form
in both the Harvard and Auburn games.
AS a further move in the Same direction
it is stated that there will be no game
the coming year on the Saturday imme-
idately prior to the Thanksgiving con-

THORPE WELCOMED
To OKLAHOMA
Great Indian Athlete Is a
prophet Honored in His
Own Country"

James Thorpe the famous Indian ath-
lete. has retired from the sporting world
for a time at least, and is enjoying a
hunt near his old home in Oklahoma.
According to reports from Oklahoma,
the red skin athletic wonder is receiving
a royal welcome from his old home
friends. When Thorpe left OKLAHOMA
for Carlisle he was a strappng Indian
lad whose knowledge of modern athletics
could safely be tucked away in a nut
shell. He returns home one, if not the
very greatest all-round athlete of all
times.
If the Indians head is turned by the
fame which has been accorded him from
all parts of the globe, his actions fail to
show it. He was the same Thorpe when
he returned to Oklahoma after having his
praises sung throughout the world of
sports that left as a mere boy some years
ago to attend Carlisle. A bit changed in
appearance, fuller developed, and evil
IDENTIFY educated, but the makeup of the
man was just the same. He hailed his
old friends with evident pleasure, and fell
into their way of living as easily as y
he'd never crossed the Mississippi i'll
search of an education.
And Thorpe, If these reports can be be-
lieved, is a prophet who enjoys honor even
in his own country. His home city. his
home county and his .home state are
proud of his achievements. They are loud
in their praises for the big Indian, and,
says an Oklahoma city special. "the mayor
Of the town and the counclmen would
have closed up the shop to accompany
him upon his hunting expedition had he
requested it,"
In addition to being the king of ath-
letes, Thorpe may become an oil king 1t
is reported that he has a good many acres
of land in Oklahoma, which is attracting
attention as oil lands.

chonce, two of the Johnstons and STEM
gle were the only ones of 10 hard-hitting,
left-handed swatters to be taken in. while
the major league magnates grabbed no
less than nine right-handers who showed
up with smaller average for the sea-
sons work than did the discarded port
siders.
There is a reason for everything and
there is double reason for this policy
of the major leagues. The first is that
the outfields of both American and Ma.
tional leagues are already chock full-too
full-of southpaw sluggers and there are
many of them in the infeld.
The second is the oft-repeated truth
that all southpaw pitchers. Many of the
major league teams carry substitutes to
put in the outfield in place of regulars,
when southpaw pitchers oppose them.
The best of them are nervous before their
''jinx' pitchers and even Ty Cobb is awll
ward when facing the best southpaws of
the American league.
Hence 1t happens that left-handed bats
men, even though they are a full three
feet nearer the initial station. step
ahead of the right-handers of their own
speed, are being handled rather gingerly
by the scouts and it takes a mighty good
southpaw hitter to get an 20. K,'' for
try-out.

MAJOR CIRCUIT Is WELL STOCK
ED WITH YOUNG STARS
MANY OLD VETERANS HAVE
PASSED OUT IN RECENT
YEARS

If the existing conditions in the Amer
can league circuit speaks for anything.
it is probable that minor league phe-
noms will have to have the goods in un-
usually large quantities during the next
few years to be drafted or bought by
these big league clubs.
Outside of the box the Athletics are
all youngsters. Boston has only three
real veterans, Stahl, Wagner and Car
rigan, and the latter is not old in years,
at that. Turner and Lajoie are the vets
of the Maps, while Land and Carlsch
have served many years as professionals,
writes Henry P. Edwards in the Cleve-
land Plain-Dealer. Outside of Walsh,
White, Sullivan and Callahan, the White
SoX have few to worry about and Com
iskey will scarcely think about success
sor to Walsh inside the next few years.
Crawford and Davy Jones are the old
timers with Detroit. Jack Powell and
Bobby Wallace are the sole representa-
tives of the veteran class with ST. Louis
and New York cannot be said to have
single old-timer in its ranks. Tom
Hughes and Mcbride are the old men of
the Nationals.
The American league rosters fail to show
a single survivor or the season of 1900,
the inaugural of the circuit. Plank,
Lajoie and Billy Sullivan are the only
ones left for those who PLAYED in the
American league in 1901. Jimmy Gala
han and Dayy Jones were also in the
league that year, but neither has played
continuously in the league.
OF the 1902 crop of recruits, Tom
Hughes, George Mulin, Jack Powell,
Danny Murphy and Bobby Wallace are
the only survivors and Wallace and Pow
ell were approaching the veteran class
even then. The following sea son brought
in Bender, Doc White, Jake Stahl and
Sam Crawford, while Turner. Stovall and

Ten out of these IA batsmen, it will be
observed, who set the Southern league
ablaze with the stick last year, batted
from the port side of the plate At first
glance, without investigation, it would
rather seem that these facts disprove the
contention that the demands for port side
swatsmiths is no longer keen as is the
regard of the managers for right-handed
suggers.
Practically the same percentage would
doubtless apply in the major leagues. Ex-
cept for perhaps, Lajoie, Wagner, Chief

pitchers. and 13 out of the Is are right
