Nashville November S.-(SpeciaD-Com- modore supporters have seen ghost
 It's the Auburn Tiger.
 One week ago, the Vanderbilters, while not holding the Donahue clan lightly, be- lieved their chances for wiping out the long list of defeats sustained in Bir- minghanl, were better than for the past three years But the crushing rout at Charlottesville has left the followers of the McGugin machine, panic-stricken. The faint impression made by the sup posed punch in the Vandy attack upon the stout Virginia front and the complete collapse of the fancied defense of the Commodore forwards against the torrent like rush of the Charlottesville backs has dashed the hopes of Black and Gold supporters
 It's true that the eyes of many were opened to the spots in the Vandy line and the faulty makeup in the defense, during the Tennessee game, but even the most conservative never dreamed that the defense could be shattered as it was last Saturday. In word the Commo- dores appear to have built their house upon the sands and the wreck was so complete, in Charlottesville, that some despair of any salvage from the ruins. Not only was the Vandy defense ripped to ribbons, but the handspring of the attacks-one Rabbit Curry-was so badly battered by the huge Virginia tacklers. that his effectiveness against Auburn will be unquestionably diminished. The Marlin marvel emerged from the fracas Saturday with an injured back and while the coaches are hopeful of getting the crack quarter into shape for the con flict in Birmingham Saturday, which in all probability will decide the champion ship of the S. I. A. A., there is much concern in the Vandy camp over his condition.
 Curry was not the only vandy depend- ance who received rough treatment at the hands of the Virginia clan Capt. Russell Cohen reinjured the ankle which was hurt in the Cumberland game and which kept him out of two games, but in addition sustained a bad bruise to his shoulder. Pud Reyer, the big center, hobbled painfully from the train, when the tattered and torn Commodores limped back into town Sunday night, after their disastrous invasion into Virginia.
 Reyer's leg was caught under a mass of players and so badly twisted that he was forced to retire from the game,

FEDERAL LEAGUE
 MEETING TODAY Nothing of Plans of Mag mates Known Proposed Peace to Be Discussed

Indianapolis Ind, November S.-Inter- est in baseball circles centers on the meet ing of the Federal league here tomor- row. Nothing definite as to the nature of the meeting has leaked out, and there is considerable speculation about the ses- sioi1
 The Federal magnates will only trans act routine business at the session here, was the opinion expressed tonight by Edward l1. Gates, attorney for the league. The state law requires that the league, which was organized in-5ndiana, hold it's annual meeting in this state and it was thought that after short session here to comply with the law, the baseball men will go to French Lick, Ind, or to Chi cago where plans for making peace with ''organized' baseball may be discussed

ANNISTCN-

Anniston, November 9.-(Special )-A. l.. Tyler,i president of the Anniston school board, stated Monday afternoon that the contract for the new Pine avenue public school building has not yet been awarded and that the building of the school will depend entirely on the result of the bond election to be held on November P.
 Tt Is hardly probable. in the opinion of the school authorities. that there will be very large vote against the bonds, !" MT. Tyler said. but it needs to be em- phasized that the larger the majority in favor of the issue s made, the easier it will be to sell the bonds in the finan- cial market, and unless the election car ries it will be absolutely out of the question to build the school''
 The election has been called to allow the people to vote on the issuance of $35, 0o0 in 20-year , per cent bonds to erect the school building and take care of out standing school debts.
 The Calhoun teachers who were here last week attending the county teachers convention have nearly all returned to their homes, the convention having come to an end. The address by County Su- perintendent N. T. Persons was easly the feature of the meeting, and it was pro- nounced one of the best addresses ever delivered before a county institute here.
 The young women Of the Wednesday Study club in this city have hit upon novel idea to raise runds for the erec- tion of the library building they have been planning sometime. They will sell bricks on the streets of Anniston at an early date. and it is believed that a large sum will be realized in this way. w, H. Finn has promised to double the first $50O0 that they raise, and to build an annex for his costly collection of curios. C. B. F'reel head of the C.. B. Freel Clothing company in tnis city, has gone to Roopville. Ga. to attend the funeral and final rites over the remains of h4s father. Z T. Freel, who died there as the result of a stroke of paralysis last Saturday.
