Ned Hanlon, manager of the famous
Baltimore Oreoles. one of the greatest
teams ever organized, says that play
ers of the present day fail to reach
sublime heights in the baseball art
because they do not take chances,
being afraid of injuries. Hanlon, who
is now with the Baltimore Feds, re-
marked not long ago:
"Ty Cobb is the nearest approach
to the old school of the type | had
with me in Baltimore. He always
plays the game in a fashion to put
even the slightest percentage in his
favor Cobb makes a serious study of
the game because he is ambitious to
be the undisputed leader of his craft.
He is about the only one who will
take desperate chances in desperate
situations-he and Johnny Evcrs.

But getting back to the folly of
this prolonged war There are many
players in our league and in the Ma

are at best only a heavy burden to
their employers. Their services can
not be dispensed with because they

his position to cover on a hit-and-run
play until he saw where the ball was
hit. He would take the throw over
second while on the dead run and if
there was a living chance he would
get his man. Now the fact that he
didn't move until the ball was hit
left him in position to go to either the
right or the left for a grounder if
one developed.
There is absolutely no reason why
no new Jennings has been developed.
Maranville and Bush are faster on
their feet than was Hugh. They
might easily copy his style of play.
1t is simply a question of learning
to make sure of a throw while at
top speed. Now as a matter of fact
there is less danger in going after a
base runner this way than in setting
for him. 1t is the instinct of a base
runner to avoid the person of a
guardian of sack. And the fact that
Jennings was hurt less than any other
player of this day would indicate that
it is far easier to tag a man his
way"

The principles of the Baseball Play

 FROM SAYS LOTSPEICH
By 4. A. l. OTSPEICH Captain, Football, In iyersity of Florida, 1915

For q school that has been in ex- istenoe only 10 years, the University of Florida has made the most rapid strides in the line of athletics of any institution in the country. The. first football game which was played with any college team from outside of the state was the Thanksgiving game with the College of Charleston in 1910. To- day, for the fight and pluck which they display on the gridiron. Florida war riors are recognized as worthy oppo- nents by every team that stacks up against them.
 When the 1915 season opens Florida will be found to have lost but three men from the squad which represented them in 1914. Captain Hancock will not be with them, nor will Free man, end; nor Swanson. fullbaok. Hancock's loss will be the most serious of the three. as he was always full of fight. and kept hls men serapping for every inch of ground He also knew how to play tackle from A to z.

Holes Left in Tiger Team Will Be Filled-Bright Prospects in the South

Sewanee's prospects are very good. There are now on the mountain e5 football candidates and more are expected daily. From last years 'letter' men Tolley, Par ker, Mccormack, Palmer, Tally and Fort are missing. The holes left by these men will be filled very well. Sewanee should have a good. husky line. something that she very seldom has. The backfield is an unknown quantity yet but the future will show what we have, The end posi- tions will be well taken care of The squad commenced practice the afternoon of September 14 and expects to be in shape for its first game on the 18th.
 The old ''ietter' men back are Captain Dohbins, tackle; Crudgington. end; Ed- mond epd MeIsaacs. end; Perry and Harrison guards; Leftwich tackle; Scott, center; Sellers, Roulhac and Clark, backs.

 It looks to the writer at this time like the football season in the south is go- ing to be a good one. Every team seems to have good prospects and this means that they will be more evenly matched and that the games will be closer The southern teams are realizing the neces- sity of getting an early start and a great many of them are having training camps such as they have in the east In my opinion the one-year rule will never work to advantage in the south. The fresh- man would simply waste his first year in college, It Is hard enough to meet the expenses of the varsity much less having an organized freshman team. with its own coach and schedule, such as they do in the east.

KELLY DEVELOPING
 WONDERFUL MACHINE
Love and Barnette Return to Practice-Line Heavy-Average Weight Will Be About ITO Pounds Stevenson Making Good Squad In Fine Condition

University, September e5.-(Speciai. ) With but five more practice days before the old gridiron season is officially opened on the Crimson campus, Coach Kelley faces the initial combat of the season with what Is generally reported to be the strongest gridiron machine that has represented the state university in years. Saturday the Crimson warriors will be given their first opportunity to display their wares. and while their real strength cannot be judged by the outcome of the battle, their showing against the Baptists may 30 far in determining Just how much latent power is stored up In the machine for future crucial tests.
 The past week has seen several radical changes in the Crimson lineup. First and foremost it witnessed the return of Amo Love to the fold. Love still Is weakened by sickness. but is rapidly regalnng his strength and will be in prime condition to take up his old station within few weeks. Hubby" Barnette also re-entered the game. after an abbreviated absence owing to srperabundance of law studies The veteran has been stationed at his time honored position in the center of the
  line, and young Maynor. assigned to that berth early In the season. has been placed at guard. These changes give the Grim son both added weight and experience and should work considerable improvenrent in their defensive strength. The changed line gives the Crimson machine seven regular linesmen, but one of whom weighs less than ITO pounds,
 Coach Kelley thus far has worked no change in his first string backfield. but Is building up set of secondary per formers who promise to give the first choices battle for their positions. Among the most promising backfield candidates on the gridiron is Lovick Stevenson, the Birmingham youth. Stevie weighs around 160 pounds this season and his work in the strenuous scrmmages of the past week has been an outstanding feature of these performances. The ex-High school star Is showing a wonderful driving

power and in all probability will fight his way into regular position before the season Is well under way. Hovater is another backfleld candidate whose work has attracted considerable attention. A fast and sure plunger and possessed of an abundance of weight, this husky has proved a thorn in tho side of varsity tackles during scrubbing activities. Dink Hagan continues to lead Griff Harsh in the battle for regular quarterback. but the Birmingham boy has seemingly cinched q place as understudy. At left half Bin Harsh Is showing by far tho greatest form of his career. The Crm- son captain bids fair to gain mention on the mythical allsouthern if his present performances can be duplicated when his team clashes with the real article later on. Brannon at full and Taylor at right half are also showing up in satis- factory manner. Brannon's work. espe- clally, shows considerable promise.
 Practically every day of the past week has seen grilling scrimmages and every day has shown the value of Coach kelley's tactics in condition ing his men. Despite the warm wealth CT and long and gruelling scrimmages not one candidate thus far has sus- tained serious Injury. As a matter of fact sickness this season more than accidental Injuries Is giving trouble to the Crimson coach. Bully Vande- draatf mas been Dit under the wealth CT this week, suffering from a slight cold, but he is expected to be in shape to play in part of the game against the Baptists,
 Coach Kelley has declined to com ment on the method of play which he is likely to use in tho preliminary scrimmages. but it is generally under stood that no serious effort will be made to roll up large scores against weaker opponents. The new Crimson chieftain seems more anxious to get a line on his men under fire and to drill them in making their plays sure than anything else. It is probable that nearly every candidate on the field here will be given an opportunity to face the visitors, and while local en- thusiasts do not look for a victory by any ludicrous margin, 1t Is general ly considered that the Crimson ma chine will have but little trouble In dis- posing of the Birmingham athletes.
