ALABAMA DECLINES
 ID BATTLE MANDY
Decision of Crimson Leaves the Schedule Makers
 in Mix-Up

Nashville, December 13.-(SpeciaI) Football schedule-makers out at Van derbilt received another setback yester- day when a message was received from Alabama declining an invitation to meet
 the Commodores on Dudley field. Ala
 bama was offered choice of either Oc- tober 7, 21 or 2S, but failed to find either of the three dates acceptable.
 So there still remains three gaps on the Vandy football schedule for 1916
 Chairman Trabue, of the game commit tee, has opened negotiations with sev- eral schools for gridron battles but so far no definite arrangements have been made. The failure to secure games with either Chattanooga or Alabama for Dud- ley field, disappointed Commodore off,
 cials, but it is believed that when the schedule is finally completed that it will be an attractive one.
 Efforts to rearrange the Virginia and Auburn games have so far been fruit less and it appears now that the date of the appearance on Dudley field of the Charlottesville eleven will be November 1 as originally scheduled. The proposi- ton to move the Auburn game from Mo- vember Is to the 4th, did not appeal to the Plainsmen and the Virginians will be forced to adhere to the first arrange ments
 It is very likely that the State Normal school at Murfreesboro will again be
 honored with opening the Vandy sched- ule, although that fact has not been defi- nitely settled upon. Neither has a game with Mississippi, which very likely will
 be played on Dudley field on one of the October dates.

New York, December 13.-MajOr and represented here today on the eve of the National league meeting. Plans and rumOrs of deals for next years play ing season were heard all sides, but only two definite statements were made.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Self for Sex"

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In an article in Sundays Age-Herald, Some Thought on the Feminist Move ment, !" written by myself. in which I said of discussion with physician on this subject, Now. what could defense less woman say to cold, calcula ting, scientific brain like that (and with doubt less, still more cold-blooded steely. scientific heart, even in defense of her own sex?' Your typo makes me say, Even in defense of her own self" thus endowing me with an egotism, l trust I do not possess, and with a courage, am very sure. is entirely lacking in my composition. However, I feel very cer- tain that this most unkindest cut was entirely unintentional on the part of the printer.

BAUGH HONORS THE
 MEMORY OF LATE
 LEAGUE SECRETARY
South Loses One of C,Sea.- est Men, Says Baugh. Gap Will Be Hard
 to Fill

President R. H. Baugh of the Southern league was greatly affected by the sud- den death of Matt T. Stradford, secre- tary of the Southern league. The loss of MT. Stradford will be keenly felt over the entire south, but especially in Bir- mingham. and the other important south ern cities,
 MT. Stradford had always been an au- thority on any baseball subject. He was an ardent student of the game and missed only very few games during the past years.
 Last year. when Mir Baugh was elect ed president of the league, he chose Mr Stradford as his secretary. He performed these duties to his death. MT. Stradford fostered several progressive plans that were put into effect by the Birmingham management, including the electric score board and the big leagues scoreboard at Redwood Field. He also fathered the movement to shorten the games and his instructions, with the presidents approval, did much to aid the national pastime in the south during the past year.
 His sudden death was a great blow to me- said MT. Baugh. MT. Stradroru was fine man. a hard worker and al ways willing to do anything for the good of the league. l attribute the success of the league for the past season, to some extent, to his personal efforts. The south loses one of it's greatest baseball men and especially the Southern league The gap caused by his death will be exceedingly hard to fill. Words canont express my deep regret
 MT. Stradfords s death will have no effect on the league meeting here tomorrow, according to MT. Baugh. No immediate action will be taken to appoint a sue cessor to the late secretary

Prison Statistics and the War

From the Washington Star.
 The prison commissioners of Great Britain have just published their annual report for the year ending March, 1915. The decrease of persons who were re- ceived under sentence during the war year of 19l4-15 is another proof that em- ployment is the great cure for crime. The total number of persons convicted amounted to only 114.2S including debtors and those committed by courtsmartial, decrease of 37,S2O as compared with the year of 1913-14. and the lowest number of convictions on record. The greater part of this decrease is attributed to crcum- stances connected with the war. Enlist ment has given employment to many of the habitual petty offenders, the restrict ed hours for the sale of intoxicants has undoubtedly decreased the amount of crime while the great demand for well paid labor has given employment to the many.
 . A short time after the outbreak of the war orders were issued whereby many of the prisoners who had previously served in the army were allowed renis- sion of sentence on recommendation of the military authorities, with a view to rejoining their companies. There have been over $40 inmates released for this purpose.
 The report also states that drunkenness among women has decerased per cent.

No Escape From Nobility
the Dundee Advertiser.

FTOul the Duuueo AuVcTtiSci.
 Sir Edgar Speyer's letter to Mr. As- quith is of more than ordinary interest, as it raises a very curious question. Can Sir Edgar relinquish his baronetcy by writing letter to the premier ask ing to have it revoked? In the old days a nobleman's title could be attainted. of course, and the blood succession stopped. That is now impossible A nobleman cannot lose his nobility. Once ennobled, the blood cannot be effected by any act or crime of it's possessor. On the other hand, title cannot be abdi cated or set aside. If such power had been inherent in the bearer of title of nobility, how many successful mem- bers of the House of Commons inherit ing peerages from their father would not have waived their honors for the sake of remaining in the lower house? The present Earl Russell. who had all ready succeeded to the earldom, liked to pass as MT. Russell at Oxford, bu. he was none the less peer of the realm for that reason Although a baroaetcy is not 8 title of nobility, It is an hereditary one, and it is doubtful whether Sir Edward Speyer can deprive his heirs eff he has any) of their rights by any act whatsoever.

In regard to the report in Nashville papers this morning to the effect that he was managing President Baughs campaign for, re selection. President O. B. Andrews of the Chattanooga club said: '"rhe statement that I have sought in any way to solicit votes for President Baugh is an absolute false hood. I have not discussed the coming election with any baseball man in the league except John Dobbs, manager of the New Orleans club. I do not object to having it stated that I am opposed to Shropshire, however, and unalter- ably opposed. If I should be fnstru- mental in defeating him, moreover, I would consider myself honored.

WILL TRADE MAISFL FOR EDDIE COLLINS, SAYS JACOB RUPERT
Wants to Strengthen Club, Says Yankee Leader-Will Bid for Baker - Stahl
 May Manage Cleveland

Chicago, December 13.-I would trade Maisel for Eddie Collins said Colonel Jacob Ruppert, president of the New York Americans when told today that President Comiskey of the White Sox wanted the Yankee third baseman. We are endeavoring to strengthen our team not to weaken it, and I believe we could find places for both Maisel and Baker if we could sign the latter.'' .
 Colonel Ruppert was the first of out of-town representatives to arrive for the American league meeting, which is to be held here Wednesday. He said Captain Houston was expected "Wednesday.
 Chicago, December 13.-Club own CTS of the American league are due here today to attend the annual meet ing of the organization, which is to be held Wednesday.
 Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Captain T. l.. Houston of the New York club. with their manager, William Donovan, are expected, according to reliable re ports, to open negotiations for a trade with President Comiskey for the sery- ices of Third Baseman Maisel.
 The New York club, it is reported, plans to purchase Frank Baker, who still is under contract to Philadelphia, and if the deal is arranged, probably will consent to trade Maise1 to Chi cago.
 B. B. Johnson, president of the league, said that the affairs of the Cleveland club probably will not be settled until after the league meeting. It was reported that Jake Stahl, for mer manager of the Boston club, is under consideration as the new leader of the Cleveland club.

The Optimist

From the Washington Star.
 Gilman Hall, magazine editor of New York, said of the war:
 ''It doesn't pay to be optimistic in con- sidering this horrid war. Yes, it's pret- ty rotten world that will stand for a war like this.
 "Optimsts, anyway, come to a bad end. A preacher in poorhouse said as he buried an optimist the other day;
 'Ah, what an optimist the world loses in deceased! Once he failed in business, but thanked heaven he had his health. Another time he failed in health, but thanked heaven he had his business. Then, just before he entered here he failed in health and business simulta- neously and said:
 "' "Oh. well, what good is the one without the other."'"

cred fact that the New Orleans club will also cast it's vote for the local mag nate
 Besides being an exceedingly active can didate for the presidents job, MT. Shrop- shire is also proposing certain so-called reforms Although Shropshire is the sponsor for the reform methods, it is taken for granted around the circuit by club owners that he did not conceive the idea at all. For the past week club own CTS have been tracing the origin of the proposed new rules, and it is hinted that Charley Frank is again the man behind the gun.
 In addition to the Shropshire movement it is further stated that the Nashville n agnate is going to offer a resolution to change the methods of keeping records in the secretary's office, particularly as to the standing of the clubs throughout the season. Another of his resolutions that will probably be introduced is to limit the number of exhibition games that a club can play.
 Since President Heinemann of the Pel- jeans will be strictly opposed to the limit ing of the exhibition games, he may be added to the Baugh supporters. New Or leans is practically the only city in the league that makes any money on ex- hibition games, and it can be counted on that this resolution will certainly be swamped-and proba ably the rest. The Shropshire suggestions reach well on the 20 mark, based on needs of the league" Again, it sounds like Frank. The directors will meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, when only official league business will be transacted. In the afternoon the election of officers will be held The meetings will be strictly private. The meeting will be in session for only one day.
