but will spend the winter quietly in

HURLERS WON FIRST
BATTLES AND THEN
WE'RE RELOCATED

1t does not pay a pitcher for the
Browns to break into the major leagues
by winning his initial contest So far
two hurlers have found this out.
First Lefty Schwenk started by trim
ming the White Sox In his debut battle.
Now he's with the Pacific Coast league.
Comes Charley Brown, left-hander,
too. He was with the Browns in 1912
for while, but turned over to Mont
gomery for further seasoning. Recalled
this fall. he hurled two games.
They were good games the left
handler pitched. too. He shut out the
Tigers with only a few hits in IL
rounds. And then he won another.
But Charley suffers the same fate
that Schwenk did. He goes to the Bir-
mingham club of the Southern league.
It's tough luck when pitcher hurls
good ball and then Is shifted back to
the minors. How come!
Mack Allison also might be men

Henderson Brown displaying the most
stubborn defense and the most vicious
tacl<ling offered on Dudley Field in many
years, the Commodores were hard put TO
win from Arkansas, 80 to 0. The field
Was soggy and fumbles on both sides
were frequent although Vanderbilt's were
not costly, while two of Henderson's were
directly responsible for Vanderbilt touch
downs. In the first quarter, with the en-
tire regular line-up in the game, the Com
modores were held to single touch
down, from which goal was kicked.
Boensch in the second quarter added six
points with two drop kicks one from the
35-yard line
Two touchdowns and goals and one
touchdown in the final quarter constituted
the scoring, but gives little idea of the
fierceness of the game.
