METHOD|STS RETURN
FROM TRAINING TRIP
Coach Brown Working Ma
terial Hard for the Open
ing Game
By GUY NATIONS

The Birmingham college football aggre-
cation, which has trained on Jackson
farm near Calcis, for the past 10 days.
returned to Birmingham yesterday at
noon. The bunch is in the best condi-
tion and held a practice yesterday after
noon before a large and enthusiastic
crowd of supporters for the old Gold ana
Black.
Coach Brown of Vanderbilt certainly
believes in good, hard work and drives
his men fiercely each afternoon. Pros
poets are real bright for dandy team
this year and there is plenty of ma
terial, too Some old men are to report
vet, also several new ones. Bill" Bailey
and Fatty" Neese are now on hand
ready for work. This brings the squad
UP tn 20.
Backfield men aic plentiful this year,
and no trouble, is expected from that
direction Eddie Lewis ot Ensley High
school fame is showing up splendidly and
will probably assist Neill in punting. He
certainly has nice form in getting away
his punts and with little practice should
develop into a good kicker.
Harold Kidd of Wayland academy OF
Wisconsin is good man and will nc
doubt be of good assistance to the team
as he has already had five years OF
prep" football He is yet youngster
and also fast man.
Kyle McPhail of the Central High
school is expected to keep up his good
work of the past seasons. Kyle is heavy
but lacks the peppery fighting spirit
which Is shown on a college eleven. Witt
the experienced men at his side he viii
soon develop alright and serve the ole
Gold and Black faithfully.
John Warren, who was with Albert
Vile Aggies last season. will try for thu
team. He is rather light, but is game
youngster and drives hard and very low
He will be seen in the backfed.
The old men back are as follows: Neill
Norton, Neese Bailey, Levie. Trammel
Sessions. Cook, Scott, Gillian. Waite
Sessions of last season will probably no
enter on account of business activities
The first game will be with Alabama o,
September 80 at Tuscaloosa with tn
University of Alabama.

Matches Will Probably
Suffer PostpOnement

Washington, September 1.-THE an
nual rifle matches at the Florida state
range, in which teams from the army,
navy. marine corps, National Guard and
various military academies usually
participate, probably will not be held
virtually all of the army regulars and
national guardsmen at the border and
in Mexico. While the war department
has reached no final decision, officials
said today there was little likelihood
that any troop units would be author
lied to attend.
The matches had been set for Octo-
Der 20 About a regiment of soldiers
are needed to man the range and act as
scorers.

The local swimmers are preparing for
the swimming meet which is to be held
Thursday night in the Y. NJ. c. A. pool.
1t would be most difficult to pick a

past two years and it is planned to have
the best swimmers in the city partici-
pate in the meet Thursday night.
large number of the boys have al
ready entered for the different events

Boston, September 1.-THE Boston Ma
tionals defeated Brooklyn to today,
their first victory in a week, and pulled
up to within three and one-half games
of the league leaders. Raglan easily out
pointed Marquard. Gowdy and Ragan to-
gether made seven hits Boston had a
makeshift midfeld combination, Egan
playing at shortstop and Fitzpatrick at
second base. Maranville, who had par
ticipated in most of last weeks games
with a broken nose was forced to lay off

Captain Evers is to report tomorrow in

New York, September u.-New York
made a clean sweep of it's series with
Philadelphia winning the fourth game of
the series, to 4. The Giants won by
scoring six runs in the fourth inning
when u men went to bat. Rixey was
taken out after six runs were scored.
Rariden made a three-base hit with the
bases full in this inning.
Tesreau was hit hard toward the close

speed without being trained fine, 1t does
not apply in Evers' case. He cannot as
simulate his food easily and hence has con-
slant stomach trouble. AS to the kind of
food for a player going under top pres
sure in baseball my conviction is that
the more variety in diet the player has
the better. 1t is fact that baseball men
are in better health with the changing
diet on the road than when on a Mono
tonous line at home. OF course, they kick
at the table when they travel-but that
keeps them keyed up for the ball field.

must be trained absolutely to the limit
in order to stand it. Neither chamrioIi
tennis player nor a champion boxer can
carry an ounce of extra weight He must
be on his toes all the time, and there is
practically no rest. The short intervals
between rounds in sparrng match are
not sufficient to rest any man who is
lighting fast. Now this extra fitness in
training is not necessary in baseball. Men
can carry 10 or 10 pounds overweight and
keep strong through the entire game be-
cause there is plenty of time to rest 1e-
tween innings.
DIET HAS EFFECT
This also has it's effect. A man train
ing for many forms of sport-take, for In
stance, rowing a four-mile race ut top
speed-must get himself as fine as ne
safely can and rid himself of the last
ounce of weight If he expects to last the
distance at a high pace. With a ball
player the reserve gives strength. have
often thought that If such a nervous and
vigorous player as Johnny Evers could
maintain good reserve of extra weight,
he would be practically invincible on the
diamond. While the rules of ball playing
make it possible for man to go at top
