Boehling Is Best Of Youngsters
Great Future for Griff's Find
By j. w. M'Conaughv.

way, had business in Richmond
shis past summer. Leaving the sta
ZION, he asked several persons where
NE Confederate Capitol was located,
and where was the house in which
Joe Boehling lived. Nine of the ten
persons questioned knew all about the
home of Boehling, and but one knew
where the site of the one time Cap
stol was-and to make things even ex-
planned that he did not know Boeh-
ling, that the town was getting to-
full of strangers
The Boehling asked about was the
young man who made baseball his
tory with the Washington American
League team the past season. He is
a. pitcher, q very sensational one for
ver1table kid, and his fame has
spread all over the country In one
year OF course, at his home town,
Richmond, he had gained little
fame before he got out of the semi
pro ranks, but ii was with the Sen
ators in 1913 that he really achieved
fame.
Came Close to Record.
In the last season Boehling won
seventeen and lost seven games ana
at one time just missed making
record for the year, whe n he fell down
after capturing eleven straight games
Husky Gus Williams, of the St. Louis
Browns, put the kibosh on the rec
ord when he lifted one OF Boehling's
fast straight ones into deep right IN
the first inning Of the st. Louis
Washington game, July IS, for a
home run, which chased Shotten and
Pratt in ahead. This killed all

TLASS is beginning to tell in the
games between the Southern
college teams, and ii is becom-
ing more and more clear as the days
| go by that the supremacy which most
! of the best teams have enjoyed foi
| the past three or four years is to he
maintained in 1913.
While Mississippi A. e. M. is hard
| ly as strong this year as it has been
| for the preceding four or five seasons
| yet | venture to say not even Auburn
| itself was prepared for the splendid
| victory of 81 to that its team rolled

very beginning of the season and
| have thus far gone along without a
hitch or a skip. Right no@N | ven
ture to suggest that the Orange and
Blue squad is the smoothest working
machine In Dixie, and if it keeps on It
its present gait it is going to be, as
| thought from the first. the team TO
haul down the bunting.
VERY early in the season I hinted
that Auburn might prove an even
more formidable contender for cham
pionship honors than the Commo-
dores, which statement was consii-
cred quite extravagant at the time;
but recent events begin to bear me
out. To be sure, we all expected
Michigan would defeat Vanderbilt, b Ii
we were hardly prepared for the score
that came over the wires.
McGugtn has a wonderful quartet
of players in the two Browns, Morgan
and Skies, but that let's the Vanderbilt
team out for this year, and no eleven
can raise 80 very much of a fuss with
only four good men out OF eleven on
the team.
Tech has already found out tho
same thing--that one or even cou-
pie of swallows don't make a sum
mer and to me ii is, and has been, no
secret that the new material at Van
derbilt this year has not been on a
par with what they have secured in
the past Had Cody been eligible ii
would have made considerable differ
enCe.
However, | still believe that Van
derbiit is going to show a world OF
fight and take lot of pummeling be
fore any team in the South will make
it knuckle under. | do not believe
that the score of 3S to against t
adequately represents the day-in-
and -day-out strength OF the Com
modOres Michigan was smarting un-
der the sting of that defeat one week
before at the hands of the Michigan
Aggies, while that same game gave
Vanderbilt little too much hope.
These things cut wide swath.

It's hard to say, but it does look as

half but almost throughout the entire

Any way you look at it, though,
Georgia did exceptionally we'll, and It

would all make Jim dandy games.
That MCWhorter's long runs in the

| Asst year Tech went down to Jack
- sonvile the last Saturday in
October and had a hard game
with Florida. This year they
went down again on the same
relative Saturday, and they had an
other hard fight, and won again by
none too safe margin. Some seven
teen players were carried on the trip,
and of these an even twelve did not
make the trip one year ago What
does that show? 1t merely shows how
many of the men are new to the Tech
varsity; in fact, it is a new team.
WANT to say here for Florida that
! they played about as fast, fierce
and real football as a team of its
weight can play. They will weigh
shade over 100, they are fast ON their
feet, they have real good interior
ence, their backs plunge and run ends
with equal confidence and power, and
they bore in on their tacking in a
way that is not easily to be surpassed.

Better Arrangement
For Seats Hereafter
At Jacket Battles

The Tech authorities have arranged
reserved seat proposition for the
Tech Sewanee game at Grant Field
tomorrow afternoon. and will follow
it up, for the other games this season
as they are confident that the foot
ball fans will find the arrangement
satisfactory.
One dollar general admission will
entltle the purchaser to a seat ia the
wooden stands on the east side of the
field or standing room along any of
the outside side lines.
The reserved seats will be % cents
and so cents extra, the first few rows
in the concrete stands being so cents
and those back % cents Each seat
Will have coupon and there will be
ushers to seat the people.
Every person buying a reserved seat
at the Tech game for the remainder
this season will be assured of his seat
He can purchase his reserved seat and
show up at the game at any time that
he is mind to, just as he would at
a theater, and he will be certain of
getting the seat that he purchased.
The grandstand has been rearranged
and blocked off and all the seats num-
bered. The general admission and re
served seat tickets can be purchased

II is almost certain that the amend
ment to the Federal Constitution
that provides for selection Of members
of the United States Senate shall be
by means Of a direct vote of the
people, will be ratified by the various
state legislatures. Thirty states
have already ratified the amendment,
and it only requires thirty-six in all
to make the amendment a binding law
upon all Of the states Of the Union.
It makes no difference what we may
think about the rightness of this pro-
position, it is a fact that an early
date the law will be in force, and
that before another session Of the leg
islature will convene in Delaware.
Unless some provision is made for the
election Of United States Senators by
laws of Delaware in accord with the
provisions Of the new amendment to
the constitution, a special session will
have to be called by the Governor to
meet the situation. The act ratifying
the amendment has passed the House
of Representatives at Dover already
and four other states have done the
same, and as eleven other legislatures
which are presumably favorable to
the amendment will meet in the near
future, the situation will have to be
considered. Commenting on this the
Milford Chronicle says: 1.-The COnsti-
tuition Of the United States controls
the situation and if amended as pro-
posed our State election laws made in
conformity with the old requirement
will as respects the election of a
United States Senator become OBJ
solete. Just how the candidates for
Senator shall be nominated and have
their names placed on the official bal
lot are matters Of State control and un-
less these are provided for at the pre-
sent legislative session in anticipation
of the adoption Of the amendment an

belated special election TO choose a
United States Senator in 1915 may
be made necessary by this change in

Kent and Sussex Counties. This re-
quired an act Of Congress because it
was interstate commerce, but the ship
ment of liquor from New Castle
County. which is wet, into Kent and
Sussex Counties is not interfered
with. That will require an act of
the Legislature, and that is one Of
the acts that the Legislature should
at once pass. What will it avail US
to have the national law that keeps
the wholesale liquor dealers from

dealers are to be allowed to ship liq-

Today they are dry in name, but are
intOlerably wet, in fact. Hotels
are closed or barely kept going, while
one Wilmington wholesale liquor
dealer alone is reported to ship to
