The following differences might be
noted: The White variety is free from
the color objection of the Barred
type. but the objection to the fatten-
ing tendency applies to hens of this
variety perhaps more forcibly than
to h Barred. Buff Plymouth Rock
Will probably average smaller than the
other varieties of the breed. AL
though a ~solid-colored bird, they, like
all buff breeds, except the Buff
Cochins, viii be found difficult to
breed Of one color, owing to the
tendency to possess black or white
in h wings and tail.
Misunderstanding Wyandottes were
originated, like the Plymouth Rocks
from a mixture Of Asiatic and Euro
pea chickens. Dark Brahmas and
Buff Cochins are said to have been
crossed with Sebright Bantams and
Silver and Golden-spangIed Ham
burgs- The intention was to produce
larger breeds with b beautiful color
and markings of the Sebright and
Hamburg fowls. Thus the Silver and
Golden-laced Wyandottes were form
ed. AS fanciers' fowls they have
since maintained much popularity and
have been scattered in considerable
numbers to our farms. But II re-
mains for a later variety, the White
WyandOtte, 10 gain the greatest non
ularity for the breed. The Buff Wv

the Tech coach seems to be based upon the increased weight of the Ala bama eleven. Hitherto Alabama in- Variably has been outweighed by the Georgia eleven. This year. if reports are true, the two machines will be al- most equal in avoirdupoise. To those Who have followed Alabama this fall, however. this increase in weight seems to be offset by lack of speed. Hagan and VandeGraaff. two of the fast est men on the team last season, are missing. Joplin who replaces Hagan, is easily as fast as the last years general but not near so versatile. Long and Harsh at full and half, re- spectiyely. are terrific plungers. but hardly speed merchants This view is sustained by the fact that in early contests Howard and Owenton were able 10 break up Alaba ma plays behind the line and before they were able to get under way. Lack of speed is a great handicap. and with weight al- most equal indications point to victory for Tech.
 In speaking of the chances of the Crimson, Manager Humphrey thus sums up the situation: This year we nave Dctn NeiSnl anu eApellence, anu there is no reason why we should not win. There are some ragged edges which must be taken care of. but when we hit our stride we ought to make the best of them hustle. In Hicks, VandeGraaff, Barnette. Bow man, Long, Cobb and Jones we have men of ITO pounds and upward Three years ago We played Tech to tie when we weighed an average of only IA pounds. This year we are going to try to do better"
 Manager Humphrey didn't say it just that way. but from an unauthorized conversation the above was his senti- ment.
 If reports are true. Coach Graves at last has found a successor to Derrill Pratt in the kicking department. The individual who is delighting the hearts of Alabama students is none other than Bully" VandeGraaff. the third of the trio of famous Vandegraaff brothers. This hcfty young tackle is booting the oval for 90 and 60-yard averages and bids fair to equal any in the south in this regard. Nande- Graaff's greatest asset is his wonder ful defensive ability. but his boots are counted OH to relieve the tension when the Crimson is threatened with dis aster.
 To the red-blooded enthusiast who revels in the excitement of the gory college frolie Saturdays exhibition bids fair to be treat Both aggrega- tions have a large number of adher- ents in Birmingham who are pulling for them to win: both coaches are ex- pocting bitter struggle: both elevens are prming for their first big en- counter, and everything points to a thrilling struggle when the curtain rises upon the opening act of the local season.

 Captain Johnny Evers found the sea son big one financially. His income the last six months has been more than s4o,- ov. This includes bonus of go 0O0 for his signature to a contract, $10000 il salary, Ss000 bonus for finishing in first place, and his worlds series receipts
 Manager Stallngs said tonight that the statement yesterday by Minister Pezet ct Peru that the Braves would tour South America was mistake. 1t was due, he thought. to the fact that some members of the Braves had been asked to play with the New York Giants on pro- posed trip there.

COACH HEISMAN SAYS CRIMSON AND TECH
 ARE WELL MATCHED
Ky COACH HEIsNAN or the Georgia school of Technology

Atlanta, October 14-6Special1 To
 my way of thinking. the game booked for
 Birmingham the coming Saturday be-
 tween Alabama and Tech will be one of
 the very best and biggest cards of the
 present football season in the south
 These two colleges did not meet on
 the gridiron last year, and so they
 have not had an opportunity of test ing each others strength since 1912. That year Tech unexpectedly ran away with the game by a decisive margin. when Alabama had been picked by
 most everybody, including myself. to win by an equally decisive score. But this defeat was largely due to oyeTconfidence on the part of Alabama and there is no chance under the skies l that Alabama will fall short of her possibilities against the same team this year. on tho contrary, the high score run up by the Yellow Jackets last Saturday against Mercer is more than apt to make the green Tech team un- derestimate a number of their oppon- ents during the remainder of the sea
 son unles sthe coaches can find a way to check this special kind of brain fever.
 When it comes to experience in play 1 ing the game Alabama will have all the best of the encounter as she has almost an entirely veteran team, while Tech counts seven new men in her lineup on the other hand the prob abilities are that Tech will outweigh Alabama some five pounds to the man:
 thus each team has one decided adj vantage over the other.
 Just a preesnt it cannot be said that the Teen team is in the very best of condition. for several of the play CTS received rather severe injuries ia the Mercer game and 1t is not known as yet whether they will be able % get into the game or not
 Both teams have hard schedules to play through. and as there will doubt less De a numbcr or scouts from other colleges on hand to watch the play of one or both of the two contestants no forecast can- be made of the style ot play that either win put up Either team is liable to turn loose everything 1t has Ia order to win and if the win ming of this particular game is the
 naiu point on the schedule of each of them they will, in all likelihood. keep nothing up their sleeves. In this eN Nent pretty game Is sure to en- sue and beyond all doubt 1t will be a mighty hard fought and evenly con testea game.
 While Techs line will be greener than that of Alabama it Is probable that thes Yellow Jacket bacl<field is superior to that of Alabama: in fact, the Atlanta quartette is, perhaps, one of the very best of the year in the soutl. consisting. as it does, of such experienced and tried players as Cap tain Fielder, Morrison. Johnson and Patton.
 l cannot say how rapidly the Ala bama team has been brought alonG but certain 1t Is that the Tech players have not vet reached the limit of train ing fineness l should say however, that they are fully up to where they ought to be at this stage of the sea son and as an ample number of subs will be brought along to meet all con

Evidently Coach Heisman of Tech entertains a respect for the ability of Coach Graves crimson squad which is not shared by the pessimistic who are predicting the defeat of Alabama Saturday. In a letter to The Age Herald the Georgia gridiron wizard intimates that he is expecting gruel- ing battle. He speaks of the various veterans on the Alabama lineup and refers to the seven "unknowns'' who are making their debut with the Yell low Jackets. It is Known that Heis- man has had the Alabama eleven looked over' by Tech representative.
 Presumably this representative saw something at the Alabama stronghold
