Vols Rely on Browns for Help
Schwartz May PlayFirst Again

NASHVILLE, TENN, March r.
The mysterious paper team
for this season about which
Bill Schwartz has been talking IN
stage whispers is no longer puzzlins
to the baseball bugs in Vol Town. It
will be built up of cast-offs secured
from the st. Louis Browns, and that
is the explanation of the fight of
Schwartz from the Mobile meeting to
St Petersburg, Fla, where the Amer
lean League tail enders are just now
in training
Bill and Branch Hickey formed a
sort of Damon and Pythias friendship
last fall, after the former Michigan
College man was placed at the head
of President Hedges team. and Rick
ely has promised TO sell some players
to The Vols after the wedding -out

great fancy to Schwartz because the
Vol pilot was so highly recommended
by Hurry Up" Yost the Michigan
coach. who is one of Rickey's ole

to rely upon getting the fash by eye

Schwartz can also use a pair of
outfielders or two. even though Shaw
and McCabe, the Jersey City twins,
have fallen off their high horse and
have decided to report. Both of these
boys carry a fancy rap with the
bludgeon in the International, but
they are old timers and on their way
out, and Schwartz is after young
sters who are coming.

~ papers which make them Vols,
but the larger percentage are ineXpe-
rienced and too uncertain quantities
to fight for a flag in the Southern.
The deals which Schwartz and
Hickey have up their sleeves how

dence in the 1914 club. which was at
a mighty low ebb While Bill was talk
ing so mysteriously about wait and

largest hocks of youngsters Of any of
the majors, and they can't carry all
of them to save their lives; so Bill
stands a mighty good chance to pick

New Rule
on Counting
Points.

of the field and track events good
for / points in place of ,, as hereto
fore. Third place is given points
henceforth, fourth place and fifth
place l. Thus the total number of
points that each event will count is
Is, whereas formerly the total was
but II.
1t is difficult to say as yet how this
change will affect the prospects of
the various college track teams for
the coming meet. OF course, the
change will not affect in the slight
est the number of points each col
leSe is counting on tallyins as the
result of any of their men winning
first in any event; but YOU can
count on it that they are all going
to look mighty sharply from this on
to the proper shaping up of their
second, third, fourth and fifth string
stuff, for II is all too likely that as
between Pennsylvania, Harvard and
Cornell al least, the meet is likely
to go to that team which corrals the
greatest number of points from
places after the first position in the
various events
This award of additional points is
also going TO make the athletes
themselves work harder, for there is
now more chance of scoring some
thing at least in any given event.
But there really should be more
of distinction between a first and
second in any track event than is
indicated by the figures five and
four II the other places are re,
spectively worth -four, three. two and
one, then, beyond all argument. first
place is worth at least six. ! ven
