Whitney referred, of course, to
his bout with frankie Russell at

since Jake Abel has developed the
frozen foot, only Russell and Man

worth noticing by aspiring light

Whitney naturally thinks he is
going to win. The Fighting Car
penter has taken on an awful lot
of confidence of late. He showed
it by agreeing to meet Packey Nc
Farland in a bout in which he had
to give away a lot of weight. He
believes he can whip anybody of his

deavor to be in the running for the
class championship The games
this year promise to be better than
ever. as the classes seem very even
ly matched. some being strong in
one department and some in an
other.
Under the efficient training of
the varsity players much football
material is being developed for flu
ture Auburn teams. There is really
more spirit in the practice scrim-
images than there is in the fall.
The different classes are out in
force, urging on their representa-
tives, and there is no chance for
player to shirk with so many inter
ested pairs of eyes watching every
move.
only three games are played, and
as there have been many tie scores
records are kept of the ground
gained so that the team gaining
the most ground is declared the
winner should the score be tie.
The first game will be played
February between the seniors and
freshmen. on February 2 the soph-
omores and juniors VII have it out
and on February % the champions

VI THAT wouldn't a big league
wv manager give for a trio of
Ed Walshs? He would, con-
slider himself the most fortunate
individual in the world. Other
teams could have their Joe Woods,
Walter Johnsons and luck be with
them for all the manager who pos
sessed three Washes would care.
Said manager would feel almost
certain that he could go through
the season with a recruit pitcher
to fill in once in about every two
weeks.
Walsh stands out as the real
marvel of modern baseball when
it comes to hard work The spit
baller with the wonderful ply
sique established a record back in
1908 when he pitched in AGA in
nings-more than 81 complete nine
inning games, by the way-that
may never be equaled in present
day baseball Only last season
Walsh was on the mound 393 in
nings and that was his ninth sea-
son as a member of the Chicago
White Sox.
Began as Sox in 1904.
The big twirler worked his first
game for Charles Comiskey in 1904.
He won six and lost three games.
The following season he won eight
and lost three games. His big
gest year was in 1908, when he was
credited with 40 victories and Is
defeats, a percentage of 1877. In
1911 he was credited with wins or
loses in 40 games, in 1912 in "A
games, in 1907 in AZ games. and in
1910 in 3S games. That surely is
going some.
Walsh is credited with 1873 victo-
ries as a member Of the White Sox.
His percentage is .6O7. or so points
in excess of the speed at which his
team has travelled since Big Ed
has been enrolled as a member

Although the won and lost col

800 games, he probably has been in
closer 10 400. Walshs record Of
victories and defeats does not be
gin to tell the story of the wonder
ful work he has done for the White
SoN. During the past season he
worked in 1898 innings, more than
any other American or National
league twirler But last seasons
work is only a repetition of that of
former years for Big Ed.
In 1911 he was on the mound in
36S rs innings. The year previous
he worked in 500 % innings. In
1909. his off season. Walsh was call
ed upon for duty In 2301- innings.
In 1908. his banner year. Walsh

In quest of something easy, Mike
turned to fighting. Harry Staten
was the only promoter in Atlanta
then, and Mike went to him. Staten
looked him over and agreed to put
him on-in a joke preliminary.
Whats your name?" Staten ask
ed him.
ITS Saul, but forget it," said
Mike, for it might hurt my milk
route. Call me anything you want
to-"
So Mike was billed as Willie
Knockemoffski, and under this title
he fought and won a slather of pre-
liminaries.
Later on he took over his real
name and fought some good bat
ties.
Possibly Mike wasn't the great
est boxer in the world. though he
admittedly whipped some good
men. There was one thing about
it, though, Mike never stalled and
he never framed. He fought every
fight for all it was worth. Now
that he has turned referee he is
maintaining the same policy Of
playing fair. OF course, like ev-
erybody else. he is liable to error
But there is one thing sure about
Saul, he will give the decisions as
he sees them.
Mike has not been formally ac-
copied as referee for the Armory
bout Thursday night but 1t is like

TIME most temperamental team
of all Dixie's history-thats
the Chattanooga aggregation
of this year. It has more artistic
dispositions in It than a grand OPP
era team.
II is recalled that one day KID
Elberfeld now the Chattanooga
manager, was tearing up the base
lines and the air and execrating an
umpire, who didn't pay any atten-
tion to him.
The man at bat asked the jumps,
'rWhy don't you do something to
Elberfeld2"
"oh, the Kids all right" said
the jumps: its only his artistic
temperament"
THIS year Elberfeld WIN have his
first real chance as a manager.
He took up the forlorn hope with
the Highlanders once. but that
didn't count. He has always want
ed to manage. In fact at times
this desire has interfered with his
work.

tors. Practice had been going on
about three days when the Kid be-

Jim McAleer was ostensibly on the

Of Binngsgate. gave Elberfeld
most awful call. But that did not
worry Elberfeld, who continued to
interfere.
Elberfeld has his opportunity
this year. He can go as far as he
likes until he runs foul of O. b.
Andrews, the club president And
here enters more artistic tempera-
ment.
Mr. Andrews is a successful bust
ness man. He has real money
