CHARLEY SCHMIDT IS BOUGHT BY CHICKS FROM MOBILE GULLS
Former Manager of Gulls Is Now Chick, Says Sec
 retary Watkins

Memphis November 19.-Charlie Schmidt. former manager and catcher of the Mobile team, has been pur- chased by the Memphis club, accord- ing to an announcement received yes- terday from Secretary Tom Watkins of the Memphis club, from New Or leans where he attended the minor league meeting.
 President Martin of the Memphis club stated yesterday that he had dis cussed with Secretary Watkins the purchase of Schmidt while he was in New Orleans and presumed that the deal had been definitely closed.
 Schmidt was succeeded as manager of the Mobile club near the latter part of the season by Matty Mcintyre. At the close of the Southern league sea- son Schmidt joined the Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast league and finished the season there.
 With Muddy Ruel, the juvenile back stopper, to act as Schmidt's assistant, the Memphis club should be well forti- fed behind the bat next summer. De- spite Schmidt's long service in the game, the former Detroit star was generally regarded as the best all- around catcher in the league last summer
 With Mobile last season Schmidt hit .3l2 in 122 games. He secured 124 hits in 39S times at bat, his collection of safe swats including 23 doubles and seven triples
 schmidt's home is in Coal Hill, Ark.

iarty gave as his reason for wishing s to resign that the condition of his health following an attack of typhoid fever here near the latter part of the season would not warrant him serv- ing the club as an active player next season. MT. Moriarty's contract as a player-manager called for a handsome salary.
 Even without the services of MT. Moriarty as a player. we think that he would be of great service to the club in our effort to give the fans pennant winning team, and if he has retired from the game as an active player we will endeavor to retain him as bench manager"
 In further discussing the case MT Martin said: "The officials of the Mem phis club have the utmost confidence in the ability of Mir Moriarty as a manager His fairness in the manner in which he has dealt with the club. especially in the statement which &C., companied his resignation. has very much impressed us as to his charac cter as a gentleman. We are anxious to retain him as manager of the Memphis team and if an agreement can be reached MT. Moriarty will manage the Memphis team next season from the bench"
 MT. Maffin stated that the officials Of the Memphis club were considerins no one as successor to Moriarty, and would not pending negotiations with him regarding his managing the club from the bench.

Aggies Challenge Marion

The Age-Herald received a long distance telephone call from Hamilton last night from the Sixth District Agri- cultural school, challenging the Marion County High school. Marion, following a victory Saturday, claimed the championship of the state high schools and the action of the Aggies followed.
 The Aggies will be willing to meet Marion at any place either next Saturday or Thanksgiving Day. Marion claim for the title is good but there are several ot h CT schools yet who also have strong bids for the title. Last year the Etowah County High School won the state championship. It is hoped the Marion team accepts the challenge so the list of con- tenders after the close of the season will be narrowed.

England Plans to Combat
 Increase in Juvenile Crime

London. November 1.-Plans are being considered to combat the great increase in juvenile crime which has become more apparent since the commencement of the war Home Secretary Samuel met about 30 leading representatives of boys and girls brigade organizations to discuss what he described as very urgent and very difficult problem. The King and Queen had expressed their grave con cern at the increase of juvenile offenses and hoped that adequate measures be taken to deal with the evil.
 MT. Samuels thought the war had en- eouraged the spirit of adventure among the boys, darkened streets gave facil- ities for wrongdoing and in the absence of so many millions of fathers on war service there had been a weakening Of home influence. It had been found that the influence of some moving pictures encouraged the spirit of lawlessness and he proposed to establish a central off cial censorship of all motion picture plays which he hoped might check some of the abuses
 At the same time he thought much of the trouble arose from misdirected en- ergy and proposed to carefully consider various suggestions which were put for ward by the representatives of the or gani2ations and by Sir R. Baden-Powell. orgaiiz izer of the Boy Scout movement.

Memphis Club May Retain MOridrty As Bench Pilot

Memphis. November 19.-That George Moriarty has rendered his resignation as manager of the Memphis ball team was confirmed by President John D. Martin of the club upon his return from New Orleans where he attended the meeting of minor leagues. But the confirmation of Moriarty tender ing his resignation does not mean that he will not manage the Memphis team next season, according to President Martin.
 MT. Moriarty several days ago wrote Secretary Watkins of the Mem phis club, stating that he wished to resign for reasons given in his letter. said MT. Martin yesterday ''The let we have yet hardly had time to give it thorough consideration. Of course if MT. Moriarty wishes to resign we have no power to hold him to his con tract"
 MT. Martin continued: T wish to say on behalf of the officials of the Memphis club that the announcement that MT Moriarty had rendered the club his resignation does not mean that he will not manage the team again next year. MT. Moriarty, when he came to the club about the middle of last season, signed a two-year con- tract as player-manag ger. In his let ter including the resignation MT. Nor

Hague Court Decides
 ''MOf" Is Insulting Word

The Hague, Netherlands, November l. Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The Hague court has solemnly ruled that the word Moi the universal nick name applied to Germans in The Neth- erlands, is insulting, and a member Of the second chamber of Parliament has been sentenced to a fine of $40 or five days imprisonment for writing Moi under the nameplate of. a German mer- chant here
 The story has provided the whole coun- try with feast of entertainment. J. H. Q. W. Ter Spill, who is the recognized humorist of the Dutch Parliament was out walking with his wife and family when a name in big Gothic characters, Carl D. A. Gosch,' caught his eye. Par liamentary decorum and the restraining influence of the omnipotent elector not withstanding. Mr. Ter Spills sense of humor triumphed, and amid the laugh ter of his children he scrawled the fatal word hereunder.
 Unfortunately for the Dutch legislator, Mrs. Gosch witnessed the merrymaking from her window and at once dispatched her daughter to read the writing on the wall. The master of the house, quick ly apprised, gave chase the insulter was fiercely arraigned, hot words passed. the police came upon the scene. and the se- quel was the culprit's appearance in court.
 The plaintiff told the court that he considered himself insulted by the word Moi as all Germans did, and, fur ther that MT. Ter Spill had said: You are moi. anyway! What are you do- ing here? Go back to your own coun- try'
 The accused admitted that his conduct had been childish and unmannerly, but disclaimed any intention to insult. say ing that his old student merriment got the better of him.

injured ankle, but not before he had reeled off 55-yard run.
 TECH LOOKS GOOD
 Georgia Techs showing against Geor- gia marked the Yellow Jackets as for midable aggregation. The Jackets have not met defeat in two seasons, although several times they have been tied and Georgia Saturday was totally unable to stop Strupper, Spence, Morrison and Johnston who frequently reeled off runs of from 10 to 40 yards. Spence was given the ball as often as any other two men on his team. Techs line also out charged the Georgia forwards and the ends and tackles smothered almost every effort made by J. Reynolds and Neville the Crackers fast backs. Techs playing, however, was marred by several fumbles. practically all of which were recovered by Georgia players and failure to catch punts. Georgia's off-side penalties showed nervousness.
 Tennessee proved that it's recent victory over Vanderbilt was not a fluke. The Volunteers gained three times as much ground on straight plays as did Sewanee and their ends held the Tiger backfield almost powerless on the offensive. Wort ham, Sewanees quarter, maintained his reputation as a broken field runner by returning a punt for more than 50 yards The Tennessee line was impregnable, however, Sewanee being unable to ad vance the ball after Wortham's run, al- though they were within four yards of a touchdown.
 Tulane's overwhelming victory over Alabama and Washington and Lees de- feat at the hands of Washington and Jefferson were rather unexpected. Ala bama recently held Georgia Tech to a B to score on a muddy field, week after the Georgia eleven, using many substitutes, swamped the New Orleans team. Washington and Lees victory over the Navy and their showing in other battles on their schedule led to the be- lief that they would either prove the victors or hold the customers scoreless.

Big Elevens Throw Form to Winds in Closing Days of
 Bitter Campaign
PRINCETON WASTED
 CHANGES TO SCORE
Cornell Easily Victorious-Army Con- tinues in Slump-The Defeat of Illinois Is Biggest Surprise
 of Season in West

New York, November 19,-Eastern foot ball teams threw form to the winds in several games Saturday with the result that the closing days of the season find the gridiron situation badly complicated. Princeton, with the best eleven that has represented the Orange and Black in several years, fell a comparatively easy victim to Yale, partly because of her own errors of omission and commission.
 Harvard with second string combina- ton opposing Browns grdiron machine was overwhelmed by the Providence players. Dartmouth was held to a tie by West Virginia and the Army had diff ldiculty in defeating Springfield. The fact tthat other teams were decisively defeated does not remove the puzzling features of the weekend play
 The outcome of the Yale-Prnceton game was typical of the uncertainties of football as was displayed Saturday. Tho coaching system advanced into it's second year, was routed by an eleven that has played erratically all season and is just mastering the fundamentals of Tad Jones coaching methods. Yale played hard, but ragged football, and the one outstand- ing feature of it's game was the alertness of the New Haven players and their abii ity to take advantage of an opening when the opportunity presented itself. Aside from brilliant series of successful for ward passes, uncovered far too late in the game, the Nassau players had nothing new or effective with which to attack the Vale line

ing the boilermakers under 3S to score and kept it's slate clean for the cham pionship game with the undefeated Ohio State eleven at Columbus next Satur- day. Ohio state had already finished its conference schedule with the exception of the clash with Northwestern and had little trouble overwhelming Case. lii diana won from Florida after hard game.
 Touted as being foe not to be given serious consideration, Chicago romped away with a 20 to : victory, leaving Illi- nois, a two to one favorite completely stunned. The downstate eleven which two weeks ago caused an upset by trounc- ing the powerful Minnesota eleven, had been regarded by critics as a certain winner.
 The victory of Minnesota over Wiscon- sin 54 to o. was the worst drubbing the Badgers have received in 20 years.
