WORLDS SERIES TO

Is Certain to Start on
Saturday-Talks of
Races

Chicago, September 27-The worlds
series will open on Saturday, October
Z, according to President B. B. john
son of the American league, who as a
member of the national commission, is
today ready to begin preparations for
the series. With the race as uncertain
as it is, no final action mas been taken
yet by the national commission, Mr..
Johnson said.
Il am certain that the worlds series
will start on October T." said Mr.. john
son. 1.-The contestants might be willing
to begin October 6. but 1 hardly think
SO. The American league race closes one
day earlier than the Nationals, SO l do
not think that would be fair to the
National league winner, however. SO
it looks as il the opening game will be
played a week from next Saturday.
owing to the uncertainty of the
race, we have been unable to make
any arrangements for the series, and
don't know whether to start east or
remain in the west. The White Sox
still have a chance, but of course, in
the National league the winner will
be an eastern team"

college put his large squad of warriors
through their last strenuous practice yes
terday afternoon prior to the journey to
Tuscaloosa on Saturday to meet the
strong University of Alabama eleven. The
entire squad is in excellent condition
and will be in first-class shape to meet
the Crimson.
The Methodists have one of the strongest
teams in the history of the school. Coach
Brown has an abundance of material and
has been driving his squad hard since
the opening of the training camp at
Calcis three weeks ago.
Twenty-Five men will be taken to Tus-
caloosa to oppose the Crimson. Coach
Brown will use all of his substitutes and
will put into use every scheme possible
to hold the Alabama eleven to a low
score and if possible score. At the uni
versity the Methodists are regarded as

able foes and Coach Kelley is not willing
to take any chances.
1t is generally predicted that the Grim
son will win despite the gloomy stories
that are coming from the Kelley train
ing camp. The Methodists have an ex-
ceedingly strong team, but cannot COM
pare at all with the mighty Crimson.
The Owenton bunch, however, is chock
full of fight, and will journey to the
state university's campus ready to give
the Crimson a struggle which they will
remember
Only light practice will be held on to-
morrow, such as running signals, punting
and passing. A light scrimmage may be
held today, but rather than take the
chance of njuring some of his players,
Coach Brown will probably. give his war
riors light workouts today.
A large following of the Methodists will
go to Tuscaloosa to witness the game
according to present plans. The squad
will leave Birmingham at 1920 Saturday
morning and return late Saturday night

MATERIAL ABOUNDS
(. FOR COACH M GUGIN
TOPRODUCE ELEVEN
First Game With S. P. U. on
Saturday-Curry Show
ing Splendidly-Plenty
of Substitutes

Nashville, September N.-(Special)
After nearly two weeks of practice a
line can now be had on the prospects of
the Vanderbilt football team this year.
Thirty-five candidates have reported and
the number will be enlarged steadily I'M
til October ., the day which the uni
versity opens. On Saturday the first game
of the season will be played against
Southwestern Presbyterian university and
in this there will be peculiar situation,
inasmuch as before the opening of the
school the football team will have been
more or less whipped into shape.
A long list of absentees who have as
vet failed to report has played havoc
with McGugins successful team of last
year. No less than 10 letter men on last
years squad are still missing and the
number may be increased to IL If Ray
the lanky one picked for fullback, fails
to recover his strength after undergoing
a serious operation few weeks ago.
The havoc is especially noticeable in
the backfield. Here Captain Curry is
the only certainty. Last year about this
time 1t is reported that Coach McGugln
remarked of the Texas boy that he
would prove the most valuable man on
a southern team during the coming sea-
son. This prediction the Rabbit justi-
fed to the extent of ranking second
among all the players in the United
States in total points scored by an in
dividual AS an understudy of Curry
at quarter, experienced subs of last year
are on hand in the persons of Price
and white, and another strong candi-
date is provided in the new man, Berry
hill, from McTyeire school.
Back of Curry there is a melancholy
dearth of old men. No one is in sight
to fill the shoes of Wigs, last years
freshman fullback, who starred in the
Auburn game, especially, and showed I'M
usual power. Dough Ray, who substi-
tuted very acceptably at that position last
year. and who possessed perhaps the
most powerful stride of any fullback
man that has appeared on Dudley Field
since the days of the great Craig, will
certainly be unable to play in the early
games and may not recover sufficient
strength to play at ALL At halfback, Ter
foss, the Kentucky boy, who proved very
capable in all departments last year, and
did most of the punting for the team,
reports with extra weight and in good
condition, and his experience will be in
valuable in molding a fast backheld trio.
The strongest candidates for the back
field positions, judging from personal ap-
pearances, are Beasley, the freshman
from Battle Ground academy, who comes
with a record; the Norman brothers, of
whom the older is a former Tulane star,
and played on the scrubs last year, be-
ing ineligible by the one-year rule, and
the younger is a fast recruit from
crack Louisiana high school; Richardson,
likely looking red-haired youngster
from Greene university school; and others
of lesser note.
Vanderbilt will be stronger than last
wear on ends So much is assured by
the return of Cohen, who a captain last
year, was handicapped the whole season
as a result of an operation during the

In the first inning Hooper tripled
and scored on wild pitch by Shocker.
In the eighth Hooper again started the

passed Hoblitzel. New York scored it's
two runs in the ninth inning on three
singles, a sacrifice and a tumble by
Hooper.

the game with a broken hand, was in

several weeks. Nunamaker had to re-

AMERICA AND JAPAN
WILL FIGHT NEXT WAR
Germans Are Specializing As
To Next War Before Rid
Of This One
By Carl w. Ackerman.

Omitted Press staff correspondentO
Berlin, Mar 9.-Germans believe the
next great war will be between the Uni
ted States and Japan, with Holland pos
sibly on America s side.
Nowhere in America, except perhaps
on the Pacific coast, is there such live.
ly discussion of Japanese-American
conflict as there is in Germany. The
Germans believe war between the two
is inevitable because Japan wants the
Philippines and is restless under Amer
lean immigration and anti-alien laws.
Recently when the Lusitania case
was reported critical, Berlin newspa.
pers printed a dispatch that japan had
sent the United States an ultimatum de-
manding that japanese be allowed to
own land in America without restuc.
tion Immediately after that it was
reported America would "back down -
on its Lusitania stand.
A German officer said today: "Ger-
many is going to sell japan all tn
munitions it wants if Japan and Amer
lea 90 to war"
Holland IS interest in the situation is
said to be based on q fear that Japan
NAV seize Java and other Dutch Eas
Indian possessions.

TERRIFIC CROSS FIRE

Artillery Battle Continues All
Night---FrenCh ReCapture
Many Positions

London, Mar. 9.-Artillery fire
smothered the French on the entire
crescent shaped Verdun front last night
according to the latest advices from
Paris today.
1t was most violent on both banks of
the Meuse. At times, Paris declared,
the bombardment almost equalled that
at Douaumont, earlier in the battle.
Driven from the Corbeaux woods by
a French counter attack, the crown
prince S men hurled thousands Of sheels
to the eastward of Goose Hill and then
charged. Five thousand Germans were
estimated last in the l2 aour fight for
the Corbeaux district, seven miles
northwest of Verdun.
After suffering severely, the Ger
mans drove wedge deep into the
French lines there, but a terrific cross
fire from Goose Hill and Dead Mans
Hill forced them to evacuate all but
the forest Is extreme eastern part
Despite this reverse, Germans in
Forges advanced from it to the accom-
paniment of a renewed bombardment
until French positions on hills north
west of Verdun were endangered.
Berlin's dispatches minimized the inn
portance of these operations, saying
they were solely to strengthen the
front. Paris, however views them more
seriously. A renewal of Germany Of
fensye against Nerdun from the north
west is expected
