Dave May, the 14.year-old fat boy
from Knox county, who 1t now at the
Richland county children's home, Is
very proud over the fact that he had
his clothing made to order. The fact
of the matter was the matron of the
home could not find suit large
enough for the boy and consequently
he was taken to the Ohio State Re-
formatory at Mansfield where his
measure was taken and his entire out
fit made at the institution.

DOnahue's Braves Will Lose Services of Ten Regulars. New Material Plentiful. Backfield Will Be Strong
By NJ. J. DoNAHUE

Auburn, September I.-(specinl. ]
 Although it Is 10 days yet before reg ular practice begins. still the au-
 tumnal tang In the air hns set the minds of everyone "pieskInward.. In looking over Auburn's prospects the outstanding fact is the number of ab- scnces. Auburn loses what would re- senble very much the alI-southern pick of many scribes.
 The sure losses include the following, Robinson and Kearley; Thfgpen, Pitts and Louisell from the line; Arnold, Hart and Harris from the back field; Culpepper and Martin. end and tackle. The last two were little inferior to the others and have done valuable work in the last two years
 The next step is, of course, to take a survey and see what is available to i'll the gaping holes left by these stars. First year men will be eligible for a good many of the games. but past experience has shown very few if any capable of filling regular position the first year. There is more football played now, however, and the standard is gradually being raised so that there may be some amongst the new ones coming that may be able to help out. If there are any such they will DC as welcome as the flowers in May and will get every opportunity to display their line of stock.
 It Is not the policy. howevar. to have any vacancy waiting for a new man to fill. The dependence as usual will be placed on the subs. scrubs, and class men. To fill the end positions the most promising are Pete Benner, Burns and Steed. Bonner and Burns are brothers of former football stars and are promis- ing players. Steed can play end or tackle and will be used where he is most needed. Babe" Taylor will be the only regular left in the line if Steed is used at end. He will be better than ever and will be of invaluable aid to the green line He will very likely be used as he was la st year. For center Cary Robinson is the leading candidate. He is the lightest cen ter Auburn has had in decade, but Is also the most aggressive. He is about ready to step into "Boozer" Pitts shoes He has saved and nursed for the last two years.
 Sample is another player that has boen brought along under the cover of the former 1inemen and who is now ready to step into the front line of battle He is

DOUBLE HEADER TODAY AGAINST LOWLY CRACKERS
CRACKERS ID OPEN AT R|CKWOOD TODAY Series Starts With Double Bill-Interesting Fig
 ures on Teams

According to the dope, which suffered such violent upheaval in the series with Nashville. Birmingham should realize gain at the expense of At lanta. Molesworth's team has won 10 games from Atlanta and has lost but 5. Elliott Dent, who has since departed, was responsible for two of the victories over the Barons. while Kelly, Hiett and Thompson have won a single battle.
 In tho double-header this afternoon, the Baron fans will witness several new corners in action. Milton Reed Is playing short In place of Bsand, who Is out for the rest of the season. Pitcher Redding, who was procured to replace Kelly when he went to Pittsburg, Is slated to pitch the second battle if he Is worked in turn. Outfielder Matthews, who starred for Albany, in the South Atlantic, may be given chance In the garden.
 Among the star attractions of Atlanta is Eddie Mcdonald, the old Birmingham third baseman. Eddie is performing m the lead-off role. and Is playing jam-up game. hitting the ball hard. stealing a number of bases. and Is supposed to have drawn as many base on balls as any man In the Southern. Carl Thompson, the other erstwhile Baron, pitched against Memphis yesterday
 Statistics now show that while Atlanta has registered 10 more hits and two fewer errors. the Barons have registered 17 more runs Carl Black has been most effective. having won three games. Rob- ertson has copped two, while Johnson and Grimes have taken two In three at tempts.
 In the matter of shutouts, the two clubs are deadlocked. Carl Black downed Kelly, to 0, in 10 innings while Carl Thompson shut out the Barons, 5 to O. Roth was responsible for one Baron re- versal and Hardgrove another. The Bir- Atlanta series has been char acterized by heavy hitting and cratic fielding.

 number of brilliant tennis mntche.

 thirty-fifth annual championship tour

 association here today. Although the
 leading experts came through almost
 without exception, several had nto play l top rank tennis.
 Maurice E. Mclaughlin of San Fran l cisco. the internationalist and former
 champion, and R. Norris Williams 2nd. the present title holder. were among. those who escaped a hard first round Mclaughlin drew Ernest F. Kuhn of Germany and hardly got warmed up defeating the foreign racquet wieider. 6-1, 6-1. 60. Williams did not appear upon the courts; his opponent, Adrian Riker, defaulted.
 Frederick B. Alexander of New York , beat Nat w. Niles of Boston only after five-set struggle. More than two hours of the hardest kind of play was necessary before Alexander emerged victor by scores of 6-3, 5-7, 7-5, S-l0 and 6-2
 H. H. Hackett of New York, former holder of the doubles title, with Alex ander was not as fortunate as his erst- while teammate, for he went down to defeat before William NJ. Johnson of San Francisco, in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3 |1O-S.
 The longest set of the day developed in the match between G. M. Bull, Jr, and Lyle E. Mahan. both of New York. The third set of this contest was won by Bull at 12-10, but the struggle in the hot sun left Mahan weak and he easily succumbed. the full score of the making being 4-6, 6-2, 12-10, 6-4 in ia vor of Bull.
 Another match that developed strenu. ous tennis was that between Ward Dawson of Los Angeles and J. G. Me- Kay of New York. The customer stars /to go five full sets to win, the scores being 6-3. 2-6. 4-6, 6-2, 6-1
 Clarence J. Griffin of San Francisco had an easier win over A. D. Thayer of Philadelphia. Griffin never gave the Quaker City player chance to go into the lead, and the Californian always held the stronger stroke in emergencies, and won at 6-2, 6-2, 6-1.
 Harold Throckmorton the Sewaren, N. J., scholastic star, also met su- perior racquet wielder in E. H. Whit. ney, the former Harvard player, who won at 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1. Throckmor- ton played excellent tennis, but was drawn against a steadier and more experienced opponent.
 Other players of note who came through to the second round included T. R. Pell of New York, who defeated Alan Fox, George M. Church of Prince ton, who won from G. s. McKearin; Dean Mathey of Cranford, N J., who defeated Dudley Roberts; Wallace F. Johnson of Philadelphia, who put out D. H. Hooker; Karl H. Behr of New York. who defeated H. c.
