Chattanooga, September 24.-(Spe- cial)- Hitting Cunningham for 10 safeties, the Barons blasted the Look outs first division aspirations this aft ernoon, defeating them 4 to i. in the opening game of the final series of the season. It was the ninth consecutive win for the Barons.
 Burleigh Grimes, who was sent to the mound to oppose the leagues leading pitcher, was fearfully wild, walking eight men, but the Lookouts refused to wait him out and he was never really threantened except in the first, when bases on balls to Graf. Daley's and liar ris' singles produced the Lookouts lonely tally.
 In the ninth, when McBride beat scratch to short to open, Caveny, next up, was given a base on balls. The locals hopes were short lived, how ever, as Burleigh forced Peters, hitting for Cunningham. to pop to Clark, while Pitler forced Caveny at second with a sharp grounder to Ellam. Roy had Pitler doubled at first but Coyle dropped the ball. Graf then forced Pitler at sec ond for the final out.
 Cunningham was given listless and indifferent support The Lookouts chalked up three costly pebbles behind him and in addition allowed several drives to go safe which should have been handled. The Barons' trio in the opener and their single tally in the sixth came after an easy opportunity had been offered to retire the side The Barons went out without threat in the opening innings and no intimation of the impending catastrophe in the third was given until two were retired.
 Hale, first up was an easy out Caveny to Harris, and Grimes famed on three pitched balls. On the second ball pitched however, Sloan tripled over Daley's head Magee followed with a grounder to Cayeny. which provided so easy a

he can be spared for that position. Bon- her is a scrub end of last year with suf- flcient weight and speed. Jones is new man built good deal like Robinson of last year, and is just as promising as he was when he first began. Williamson is from the University of North Caro- lima, where he scrubbed last fall. He is green and somewhat light but Is very promising player.
 There are three players of known worth in the backfeld in Bidez, Hairston and Prendergast. These players are showing improved form this year and are strong both on offense and defense. To assist these there are three scrubs and one new player. Caughman, who called signals on the scrubs last year. Is holding the same position on the var sity. He has had experience at end on Clemson teams. Wren and Scott are two promising scrub backs, in fact Wren's work has been sensational, running from the fullback position. Ducote is the heaviest and one of the most prom ising backs that has come to Auburn in decade. He has power and speed. His blocking and tackling is considerably ahead of the usual preparatory product.
 The team as a whole, while lacking the weight and power of previous Au- burn teams, Is fast and shifty, which will make possible 8 somewhat differ ent style of attack.

AUBURN'S LINE TO BE
 LIGHT BUT TPOWERFUL
Material Plentiful-Cooler Weather Makes Stren- uous Practice Possible -Scrimmages Held Daily-Backfield Will Be Strong-New Men Showing Fine Forn-Will Have Different Style of Attack
By M. J. DONAHUE Coach of Auburn

Auburn, September 24.-(Special.) With the advent of cooler weather foot ball practice has become more strenu- ous and scrimmages are daily occur ence. As all the candidates came In on time the work of the team Is probably farther advanced than is usual at this time of the year.
 The line candidates are also lighter than usual, but this Is balanced by the fact that there Is considerable aggres- siveness in the crowd and some agility. Three of the line players counted on are unusually light. Wynne. Sample and Robinson are weighing 165, 174 and 162. respectively. They are expected to hold down both tackles and center. The other candidates are of good weight and in- clude Babe" Taylor, Davis, Goodwin, Campbell and H. Bonner. It is expected that a good husky guard will be de- veloped from this lot as a running mate for Babe" Taylor. The loss of Pitts, Thigpen and Louisell would leave a con- sidera ble vacancy in any line. To fill the shoes of Kearley and Robinson there are Steed, Bonner Jones and Williamson. Steed has had some experience at end and will fill one place acceptably if

COPE DEVELOPING TWO STRONG SQUADS Sewanee's Prospects h. creasing-Hard Practice
 Continues Daily

Sewanee. September 24.-(Special. .)-Dur- ing the cold wave, which nas swept over the south for the last week, football ac- tivities have taken on renewed life and daily the men are being put through a series of dummy tackling, bucking boards, going down under kicks and passes with a short scrimmage at the end of each days workout. On Wednesday after noon the longest scrimmage of the year was held.
 Coach Cope is developing two complete sets of backs in order to stand the strain of the hard schedule of this year. One set fig composed of McIsaac, quarter Clark and Ellerbe, halves. and Moss, full. The other set is full. Besides these men there are several promising backs who have not been given a chance so far of showing their wares Sewanee packers are enthused over the showing of Ellerbe this year. Ellerbe. weighing 1bO pounds, IS fast as flash and runs with that peculiar whirling step which proves so hard for the defense to stop. He was member of the squad last year, but owing to inexperience did not play in many games.
 The line with Dobbins and Turner at tackles Harrison and Leftwich guards and Scott center, seems to form the best set of forwards collected on the moun- tain in years. In the lineup for the first scrimmage there was only one new man, Moss. who entered college last Christmas Three very promising new men showed up on Wednesday, Means, a TO pounds lineman from the Stwanee Military acad- emy. Sloan, a 205-pound lineman from Ar kansas, and another Sloan who weighs 165 and seems very fast back.
 Prospects for good team seem brighter as the days go by. When asked, Coach Cope stated that it was the best ma terial he had seen on Hardee in years. The first game of the year is with Bran- don school on September %.

Phillies Win and Lose

Chicago. September 24.-Philadelphia and Chicago split a double header here today with twin scores of to O. The contests were marked by tight pitch ing on the part of the winning twirl- CTS and shaky work by the losing box men. Humphries held the league lead- CTS to four hits in the first game and Chalmers returned the compliment by granting the locals only two in the second, which was stopped by dark ness at the end of the eighth inning.
 Chicago scored in the first inning of the opener on Schulte's walk, steal or second and Zimmerman's hit. Bunched doubles by Mccarthy and Archer earned the second tally in the next inning and in the fifth three more hits, including Archer's second double and Bancroft's error sent in two moro runs and drove Mayer from the game. In the eighth inning Oeschger yielded a single, a double and a base on balls and made a balk, the combination ac- counting for the final runs of the To- calls. Philadelphia got only one run ner IS far as second
 In the second contest Keating's first error followed two singles and gave Philadelphia its first run. Two bases on balls and two singles came in the sixth and marked Zabels departure for the clubhouse. Wright, a recruit pitcher took up the task with the bases filled and none out. He yielded another hit and Heating and Williams punched three errors on Burns ground CT. the result being four runs all told. The last run of the day resulted from three successive singles after two were out in the eighth. Chicago had chances to score In the second, fifth anl eighth innings, but Chalmers frightened in the pinches and stopped the attacks by timely strikeouts Scores:

GRIDIRON OUTLOOK
 BRIGHT FOR ENSLEY

Ensley High school has prospects of the greatest football team of its career. About 35 huskies, both old and new, re- sponded to the call of Coach Craig on Tuesday afternoon. They received only light practice for the first day.
 The lineup will be greatly changed, as several of last years men have not returned but there are many new ones to take their places. Those having dropped out in the back field are: Cook, quarterback; Ponder and Gingery, half backs. However, it seems that their places will be filled successfully by Walker Brown, Hickman and Albert. Only a few will be missed from the line. Those remaining are: L. Brown, Cobb, Miller and Blaylock.
 The average weight of the line is near 150 pounds, while that of the paciIrield will tip at about the same. All the fel- lows are training and working hard for the oncoming season, and for the first game, which will be fought between Ems ley High school and Central High school, on October }. This will be one of the hardest fought battles of the season, and promises to be one of the best

Carroll followed with a high fly to right but Merritt played the ball bad and 1t fell safe for two bases. Ma gee only got as far as third, thinking the ball would be flelded. Clark then followed with a hit through the box when the Barons scored. Magee and Car all doubt as to the outcome.
 There were two down in the sixth also when the Barons scored. Magee and Car rol1 first up, were easy outs. Coombs lifted pop fly to Mcbride but the for mer Baron dropped the ball and then made poor throw to second when Lord Cecil sped for that bag.
