WOULD AMEND
CURRENCY BILL
TEXAS CONGRESSMEN PARTICU-
LARLY INTERESTED IN CURREN-
CY BILL AND SUGGEST MANY AN
ENDMENTS TO MEASURE.
CJLRERSON'S PHYSICIAN SAYS HE
WILL WILL HAVE HIM BACK IN
WASHINGTON WITHIN A FEW
MONTHS.
Especial staff Correspondent

Washington, ID. G.. Aug. 22.-TeXaS
is having a lively time in the house eau
Gus over the currency bill Representa-
tive Eagle, of Dallas, amember OF the
house committee on banking and currency
has been holding forth against certain
provisions Of the bill. Representative
Garner of the Brownsville district, has
interestcd himself in getting some am
cndments. particularly with reference to
loans upon agricultural securities III
Guiding mortgages upon cotton and other
crops. Representative Henry, of Waco
has been working to the same end, insist
ing that in the matter of loans farmers
and wage earners should have the same
facilities as are accorded merchants and
other business men.
BILLS WILL BE AMENDED.
Indeed Texas Democrats in the house
have been eXerting more influence toward
amendment of the Currency bill than dem
ocrats from any other state. There IS CIV
cry indication that the bill will be amend
ed somewhat. although essential features
of the measure will be approved by the
caucus as written DV lnc cOiHllltttc anu
approved by President Wilson.
Following the death of Senator John
son. of Alabama, which reduced the Dem
ocratic majority in the senate to dan
ger point. there was a great to do about
Senator Culberson, of Texas. who, it is
claimed. would never be able to resume
his duties. This report was made the ba-
sis of alarmist conclusions that senate
democrats might find their majority wip-
ed out altogether before the tariff bi
became a law.
CULBERSON WILL GET WE'LL
Assurances have been given. however.
that Senator Culbcrson is only suffering
from nervous breakdown. His physician
DR.. Sterling Ruffin. of this city. says pos
itivelv he will have the senator back IN
Washington within few months. The
senator is now at a Sanitarium in Con
necticuts He is not paired simply be
cause senate democrats have refused to
pair with senate republicans. But the
republicans have more absentees than
the democrats and in fact can show little
more than their actual majority because
of a slight advantage in this regard.
Two republicans are away and impaired
as against Senator CulberSOn. If Il pinch
should come. it is understood Senator
Culbcrson would be able to travel to
Washington and record his vote for the
pending tariff bill.

COPE DEVELOPING [: |.
TWO GOOD KICKERS
Hammond and Parker Max
ing Excellent Show-
ing

Chattanooga, September 23.-flarris Cope
faces at sewanee this year a task which
no other Tiger pilot has been forced to
cope with in the past decade. namely, the
development of a star kicker From time
immemorial the Purple eleven has pos
sessed a foot artist who has given the
Tigers practically an edge on their hos
tile foes. The names of Scarborough,
Noise and Gillem stand out in S. l. A. 4.
history in the punting department prac-
tically as fugenty as that of "Toots'
Douglass, whose miraculous punt against
Tech will never be forgotten.
This year, however. and at a time when
kicking is more important than at any
period since the installation of thep for
ward pass, Cope did not inherit a star
foot artist. But no one realized this bet
ter than Cope and he did not only meet
the emergency-he anticipated it, Al
least two months ago Hammond was
given instructions to begin practice at
place, drop and goal kicking. Likewise,
Parker was given the order to begin loos-
enins up for the plain puntng. As re-
suit, from advices emanating from the
mountain, Cope already has two wellrde-
veloped toe artists which promise to pro-
teet the Tigers as well as any aggrega-
ton in the S. l. A. A. in the kicking de-
partment.
Hammond for place and drop kicking
and Parker for punting-this Will be the
order of things at Sewanee this year.
Cope showed good judgment in the selee-
tion of his men, for Hammond has a
wonderful eye for accuracy and direction,
while Parker has the physical strength
required where distance alone is a requi-
site.

TULANE SQUAD
SHOWS PROMISE
Several Candidates Have
Good Chance of Making
Varsity

New Orleans, September 23.--After 10
days of light football work on the grounds
of ST. Pauls college. near Covington,
La, the advance guard of candidates who
will try for the Tulane eleven this season
are scheduled to return to the city
Wednesday evening. few will remain
until Saturday.
1t looks as though at least six of the
outfit have fair chances of making the
team Carl Woodward, due to his fine
work on the line last season and his un-
expected prowess with his toe, is sure of
a line job, preferably tackle; Bill Wood
ward, versatile halfback or end-not
counting his honor as captain twice of the
baseball team-is fairly sure of one of
the halfback positions; Captain Marks
has naturally first call ON the quarter
back job Hinderman, former football
and baseball star of Loyoa, better re-
membered for his great work on the ALI
Louisiana eleven, which tackled the ALL
southern eleven last January, at halfback,
can be reasonably counted upon to make
a halfback; Pete Mailhes, sturdy sub for
two years, has more than an even chance
for one of the guardshps, while last on
the list, but not least, looms up the big
Casseneuve, of Bay st. Louis, who enters
Tulane this fall, and looks the most prom
ising of the rockies
Captain Marks and Manager Vairin ap-
pear we'll pleased over the progress made
at the fall training camp, and believe
that as the men have loosened up their
limbs and undone sundry kinks, the train
ing process of Coach Hoffman will be
that much easier.
Coach Hoffman is sure to be here the
first of this week, and If time allows
will repair to the training camp at once.

GOTHAM TEAM WILL
USE POLO GROUNDS

New York, September 23.-As the result
of an agreement reached this afternoon
between the New York National and
American League Baseball clubs, the
Yankees, under Manager Chance, will
play their scheduled games of 1914 at
the Polo grounds. This arrangement was
made necessary by the fact that President
Frank Farrell of the local American
league club was unable to secure salts
factory title TO the property upon which
the new baseball field and stands will
be built in time to have them ready for
the opening of the 1914 season
When it became evident that Farrell
could not have his new park in readi-
ness for the opening of next season. he
conferred with President b. b. johnson
of the American league, and the latter
wrote to President Hemstead of the New
York Nationals, asking that Farrells club
be allowed to play at the Polo grounds
in 1914, agreeing that the Yankees would
remove to their own grounds at the earl
lest possible moment. 1t is, however.
stipulated that under no circumstances
would the agreement be continued after
1914.

the addition of one of the best prep school

warrior is in the city and Coach Noojin
is endeavoring to have him matriculate.

at quarter will be shifted to full and the
youngster will be showed into the quar-

Trisdale and Acton, halfs, and Causey

In the line up before the game with the

that is defending the varsity goal in
practice will probably be the ones to buck
