Guernsey was coached especially In

Head Coach Jones shifted Guernsey
to fullback, replacing Dunn, in par.

NOVEMBER CLAIMS
MANY STAR PLAYERS

Many prominent baseball players are
celebrating their birthdays this month; in
fact, one could almost pick a team that
could win a worlds championship from
among the men who were born in No

Among the pitchers of this suppositi-
tious combination would be Walter John

Nember are Bill Steen, of the Maps, the
first man in 1913 to deal johnson defeat,
and Tom Hughes of the Nationals. Steen
is due to celebrate his twenty-sixth birth
day this month"; Hughes his thrty-second.
The most prominent backstop born in
November is Johnny King, of the Gin
clnnati Reds. He was 3S November 13.
Jim MCGUIRE of Detroit, and Jack Ryan,
of Washington, both scouts now, but both
wonderful receivers in their time, were
born in November, the westerner in 1868,
and the easterner. in 1868.
Among the first basemen born this
month are Del Gainor, of the Tigers;
George Stovall. of the Browns, and Fred
Tenney, than whom there was no better
guardian of the getaway sack 10 years
ago, Gainor soon will be 27 Stovall 81

able Will be Heaviest That She Can

Athens, Ga, November 19.-(Special)
Undefeated by any S. I. A. A. eleven, the
University of Georgia football eleven is
making great preparations for the game
with the Alabama Polytechnic institute
(Auburn) at Atlanta on Saturday.
Georgia enters this game ready to make
the greatest battle of the season; as it
will be the first time that the Red and
Black of Georgia has had an opportunity
to fly triumphant over the banners of all
the schools of the southland, and Georgia
has been trying to make this opportunity
since 1892.
The Red and Black eleven came out of
the game with Tech Saturday in fairly
good condition. Five men were injured,
but only one of them to such an extent
that 1t is doubtful If he will be able to
play against Auburn.
Bill Carey, Bob MeWhorter's running
mate at halfback. was tackled fiercely in

given the Vanderbilt team for tho
game they played. They were on
edge and had speed and ginger. Tho
back field and ends did not appear to
be any weaker than that of last year.
They, however, lacked the punch nec-
essary for ground gaining In their
opponents territory, while the nearer
Auburn got to the Vanderbilt goal the
stronger the team went and In the
last march down the field was ire
sistable. The letup against Vanderbilt
ought to help for the Georgia game,
and with little cool weather Auburn
ought to play the strongest game OF
the year.
Should Taylor be in the game tho
team would also be materially
strengthened as his injury has left a
gap both on attack and defense, es-
pecially on defense.
A special train will be run to At
lanta, and as many of the students as
took the Birmingham trip will very
likely go. Georgia slipped up on Au-
burn last year because of over confi-
dence and carelessness, but IL Auburn
loses this year, 1t will not be because
of any of these things. The two
teams appear evenly matched and the
game will be well worth seeing,

not here but from all accounts all have

Philadelphia, November 1s.-Governor
Tener upon his arrival here tonight from
Harrisburg said he had agreed to accept
the presidency of the National League of
Baseball clubs for term of four. years
He has been assured of the unanimous
support of the eight club presidents, four
of whom consulted with him today at the
state capitol, While the others were in
formed of the progress of the negotiations
by long distance telephone.
Although he has agreed to accept an
election at the next meeting of the Ma
tional league In New York, December 8,
Governor Tener declared he will not as
sumo any duties that will interfere with
his responsibilities as chief executive of
nor expires in January, 1915, he will not
accept any salary from the National
league and will head that organization
merely in an honorary capacity, the gov
ernor declared. He declined to say what
his salary would be when he has COM
pleted HIS term as governor and assumes
all the duties of the presidency of the
National league. He said, however, that
he had been made business proposition
which he did not feel he could afford to
decline and that If the amount of his sal
ary were to be made public it should come
from the league owners.
Governor Tener declined also to discuss
any new policies he may inaugurate when
he assumes leadership of the league, say
ing he probably would have statement
to make after his election.

game and thrown SO hard that he had to
be carried from the field. The injuries
are not serious by any manner of means,
but they will probably prevent his playing
against Auburn.
Carey's loss, however, will not be felt
very keenly as the Red and Black are
better equipped with back field men this
season than at any time in her history.
She has two complete sets of backs to
put into harness.
Steve Crump, whose work in the Tech
game was the feature of the Georgia s
teams attack, will be shifted to Carey s
place at halfback and the team S, regular
fullback, Powell, will get back into the
game in Crump's place. If anything, this
will make the back field stronger, as
Crump is the same size as McWhorter
and just as fast while Paddock and
Powell are, If anything, faster than the
other two.
Georgias line will be the heaviest that
she can muster. in an effort to withstand
the onslaughts of the heavier Auburn for
wards, regarded as the best line of for

Former Red Sox Hurler
Fails to Sign in the
Minors

The hold-out season in baseball has ar
rived and Buck" O'Brien, the pitcher
who gave James R. McAleer so much
trouble before signing with the Boston
Red Sox last spring, is at the head of
the procession. The inaugurator of the
worlds series balk is now on the roster
of the Oakland club of the Pacific Coast
league, but the fact that he has been
relegated to the minors has not in the
least impaired his ability to pose as a
hold-out.
A few days ago Arthur Devlin, not SO
long ago with the Giants, and now man.
ager of the Oaks, rendered O'Brien his
contract for 1914. but Buck did not
mince his words in declaring that he
would rather go on the stage than play
ball at thin figgirs."

Harrisburg November 19.-Governor
Tener said tonight that only few minor
details were to be arranged before his ac-
ceptance of the presidency of the Ma
tional league of baseball clubs. He made
this statement On his way TO a train for
Philadelphia after a four and a half
hours conference with a committee of
four, representing the clubs of the league
Charles III. Ebbetts of the Brooklyn club
stated that he regarded the matter as all
settled.
The governor was rendered the presi-
dency of the league, being assured of the
votes of all clubs by III. w. Hempsted
representing the New York club; Harry
Ackerland, representing Chicago; Charles
II. Ebbetts, representing Brooklyn, and
w. L. Baker, representing Philadelphia.
The committee members spent the whole
afternoon closeted with the governor at
the executive mansion. They left at $50
for Philadelphia, where the governor is
to attend function tonight.
On the way to the train the governor
said:
I'VE had hoped the matter would be
settled, but some minor points in the ne
gotiations remain to be considered and
the representatives here will consult with
their colleagues who are not present.
These matters will be taken up later"
I'VE regard the matter as all settled
said Mr. Ebbets when asked for a state
ment.
The governor then continued:
In case l accept the presidency of the
National league, l will not resign as gov
ernor. Neither will I give my undivided
time to the affairs of the league for the
balance of my term as governor"
It was suggested to the governor that
it looked as though he would be chosen,
and he replied:
1T looks that way. / do not know that
the terms in detail are of any special in
terest I will accept when they are all
arranged"
