needed by the two clubs, Stock will be nearly helpless. Byrne has in the past been a fellow who took a nice, snappy crack at the offerings of the left hand CTS especially, which might help a lot, as it is a cinch that Carrigan will use southpaws in three games out of six, If it goes that far, and perhaps more.
 Stock has not been doing much pinch hitting, and the fast boys seem to have him choked to death. Under those cir cumstances, Wood ought to make him hide his hat and he doesn't figure much better against either Foster or Leonard. Byrnes experience might help, and his courage in standing up to speed and talk ing his healthies may cause Moran to change plans after the series starts if not before.
 In fielding Byrne is more experienced and about the equal of his teammate and a better judge of pitching, according to the players.
 Gardner figures to be one of the few Red Sox who will hit well against Alexander, but you may wipe him off the slate against Rixey if Eppa Jeptha is near his best form.
 The comparison is scarcely fatterng to the National league champions and gives the Red Sox a slightly larger ad- vantage on the comparison of the entire inf1elds than l supposed they had when l started doping them out.
 On the total infield comparison, the Red Sox figure 2935 points to the Phillies 2SOS, which is a considerable lead, especially since the greater portion of it is due to the greater attacking strength of the Sox. Besides Carrigan appears to have the more mobile infeld strength Gainer's S ability to hit lefthanders offsets Hobby's weakness, and. with Wagner as under study for second or short with Janvrin an understudy almost anywhere, Carrigan has much the advantage in substitute strength to use in emergencies. Moran g team is sadly weak on subs.
 Tomorrow we will pass on to the right helders. It's a shame-that means an other argument, no matter what the fig ures say.

CENTRAL HIGH ID MEET ENSLEY TODAY Odds Favor Locals to Win. Game to Be Played on
 Munger Field

This morning at 9:S0 o'clock Central High school and Ensley High school will open their 1915 football season when they clash on Munger field at Bir- mingham college Both teams are primed for the battle and a hard fight is expected from start to finish.
 Central High Is in the best of con dition and will enter the fight with odds strongly favoring them. Only prelim mary practice was held yesterday aft ernoon by Coach Pritchard and the fin ishing touches made the local eleven ap- pear as winning combination in their light workout. The backfield will be strong as will center and guards, but the main weakness of the Pritchard machine is the tackles and ends. How ever, an abundance of raw material is expected to take care of these positions in fine style
 From Ensley comes the news that Coach Craig has developed the strong est team in the history of the school and that all dope will be upset. The Ensley followers are in large numbers and will attend the game in body
 The following is the lineup that Coach Pritchard will probably start the game with: Hall, center; McPhail and Craig, guards Holmes and Putnam guards; Harrell and Kelly, ends; Coughlin, Dorskey Hahn and Goodall
 The Ensley lineup is still undecided Coach Pritchard expects his cohorts to register a victory, but is not overcon- fident. Every candidate on the squad will be given chance to show his wares to the new coach. A good game is promised but the Ensley eleven will have to fight a strong game to prevent an overwhelming defeat at the hands of the well oiled Pritchard machine.

Rrannnn Out of Game

Tuscaloosa, October 1.-(Special. )-Ala- hama will enter the first game of the season tomorrow minus the services of Brannon, the sensational fullback who has shown great form this fall. Brannon was called home today to Mobile, where his father is missing and il is feared he has been lost in the recent storm which swept the gulf coasr.
 An eleventh hour shift in the Crimson line-up sees Griff Harsh at left half Bill Harsh shifted to full and Steph enson at right halfback. The probable lineup which Coach Kelley will use against the Eaptists tomorrow follows. Love, right end; hogers or Burke, right tackle; sam ford, right guard: Mayror, center; Bar nett. left guard; VandeGraaff, left tackle; Merton, left end; Ha3an, quarterback; Stephenson. right half; Harsh. B., full back; Harsh, G., right halfback.
 The Crimson squad vas put through a light signal drill this afternoon and except for a few minor injuries are in fine condition to meet the Birmingham aggregation.

DETAILS FOR WORLDS SERIES
 WILL BE ARRANGED TODAY

played, as might easily be done should the series start on Saturday, October g. Under the latter schedule Alexander could oe worked Saturday and Monday and Wednesday, which in the opinion of many close followers of baseball would be de- cidedly advantageous to the National league standard bearers.
 A point made by those in favor of be- ginning the series on Friday is that it would be a much more convenient date for those fans who desire to witness all the games of the series. Under such a schedule no matter which city was selected for the opening games. the vis- iting spectators would have Sunday in which to make the trip to the other city Many believe the commission will con- sider this in assigning the dates of play which are expected to call for two games in one city; two in the other, to be fol- lowed by alternating games until the close of the series.

Yale Virginia Game Features Octobers First GamesArmv
 and Navy Open Season

New York, October 1.-Football will be- gin to edge it's way toward the center of sports popularity with the playing of the first of the October games tomorrow. Several games of more than the usual early season interest are to be played on eastern gridirons and the possibility of form upset adds spice to the days inter-varsty struggles. Chief attention will center in the meeting of the Prince ton and Rutgers teamS although the Yale-Virginia game and the seasons debut of the Army and Navy elevens also are outstanding features of the schedule.
 Rutgers will invade Tigertown with a powerful team. Last season the Tigers were hard pressed to defeat Rutgers. by a score of F to 0.

Virginia, which travels. to New Haven to meet Yale, did not prove particularly formidable last year and while the south erners rolled up fair-sized score against Randolph-Macon a week ago, it Is likely that the Ellis will be able to hold the visitors in check as successfully as they did last year.
 The Massachusetts Aggies will be liar wards opponent at Cambridge and should give the Crimson strong opposition for an early season game of this type.
 The two United States service academy teams will open their 1915 season with contests on home gridirons. The Army will have Holy Cross as. competitors and the Navy plays Georgetown. Holy Cross cid not show any particular strength in defeating Bates last week but George town put up hard battle against Prince ton.

 The first city championship under th| amateur baseball commission will be de| clded In double header this afternoot between the Postoffice Pirates, of th| Greater Birmingham league, and Rasc| Jewelry company. of the City league, al Rickwood. First game will be called al 2 o'clock
 Both managers claim that their tea will take the series without any diff| culty.
 Regardless of what the two teamJ think about their strength, two gool games of ball will be played, which al baseball fans in Birmingham should sed
 Records of the elimination series show| the postoffice team to be 3S per cen stronger than the Rasco team
 The Rasco team has a large bit of conl ndence; has keyed up to where they bel lieve they can solve the curves of th1 Mighty Galbreath and check the heavJ sulgging of Slick Davis and his tean1 mates.
 A majority of the fans believe that th1 Rasco team will not have any show wit1 the fast postoffice team, while the Rascd boys are sure they will win both gamea without any opposition.
 The pitching question is another prob lem to solve. In one battle Galbreath can easily win, but can he stand up to two is another question. Galbreath has lost only one game this season.. Rasco has beaten Thomas, the Pirates second choice, and will probably be easy for the Rasco bats men. Manager Jerome Dellard stated last night that every Pirate is in the best of condition to meet the Rasco team this afternoon, and although we are ex- pecting one of the hardest games of the season, we believe we have the team to take two in a row and close the argument as to who are the city amateur champions for 1915.' Batson will do the receiving for the mailmen in both games. Simon and Me- Gary will be the choice of Manager Smith with Reese behind the bat

New York october 1.-All the details of the coming worlds series between the Boston Americans and the Philadelphia Nationals will be arranged at meet ing of the national commission to be held here tomorrow.
 There appears to be more interest in the date of the opening contest than in the place where it will be played. Whether the series will begin on Friday, October or on Saturday. October g, is causing much discussion.
 Many express the belief that the Amer ican league interests will endeavor to have the play begin on Friday, October 8, the day after the close of the league season. This would preclude the possi- bility of the Phillies sending their star pitcher, Grover Cleveland Alexander, to the mound in three of the first four games

 nounced at Camp John T. Morgan in this city Friday afternoon that the proposed
 camp breaking Friday evening would

 It was proposed for the battery to go by way of New Orleans to Fort Sam

 announced Friday that passage through New Orleans to Houston, where the sec

 practicable.
 One spotted hound dog, answering to
 the name of Spring" was the first case called when the new inferior court of An
 riston was formally opened Friday morn-
 ing, Judge G. s. Leyden presiding. The case was set for trial on October 5. Mayor J. l.. Wikle has received several letters and a large number of inquiries about Nellie Gray, the Lonesome young woman in search of home" who wrote to him a few days ago asking him to help her find a husband. So far, the
 mayor says, she has not decided which
 one of the would-be benedicts she will accept.

Auburn was never in danger and never allowed Marion to score, while the Plainsmen piled up 76 points. Argo and Sandy starred for Marion and started several times to break into limelisht. but failed to penetrate Auburn's excel lent defensive. Auburn's team was in fine form and scored in first two minutes of play. The entire stu dent body from Marion was here for the game. For Auburn, Hairs ston. Caughman and Ducotte starred.
