FULTZSAYS PLAYERS. WILL FIGHT INJURY. CLAUSE ID FINISH
President of Players Fra ternity Says Pay for h. jured to Be Demanded.
 Answers Johnson

New York November 6.-That the Base ball Players fraternity is determined to carry it's demand for a revision of the injury clause in certain of the players contracts to a finish, is indicated in a statement made public today by President David L. Fultz of the fraternity. the statement says in part:
 MT. Johnson, president of the Ameri- can league, is reported to have said in a recent interview that the fraternity pe- titon accused certain American league clubs of suspending injured players With out pay. Either MT. Johnson has been misquoted or he is evading the issue. We we stated that certain contracts gave the owners the right to so misuse players If they saw fit, and asked that such clause be removed.
 MT. Johnson made a somewhat heated denial of the supposed accusation and said he had demanded of us the names of players so suspended He has made no such demands. MT. Hermann, how ever, did wire for copies of contracts containing the objectionable clause, which is an entirely different request.
 'We replied that contracts could not be forwarded without consent of the players, but that MT. Johnson would find the provision in section of some of the Washington and New York contracts. As copies of all contracts are already lodged in his office, our compliance seemed unnecessary.

ance of J. T. Hexall in goals from pIace- ment. It was back in 1882, in the Prince ton-Y Yale contest, that Hexall scored for the Tigers when 65 yards away from the Ellis goal. In 1905 J. P. Davis of Dickinson, scored goal from placement against the University of Pittsburg from the 5S-yard mark, but last year the best records established for the season were of AS yards, set up by J. G. Wilson of the Missouri School of Mines, and Joseph Catlin and James Millikin. That the interscholastic placement kicking last season was of higher caliber than in the collegiate games was shown in the work of Orson w. Wilcox of the Mans field (Pa) Normal school, who made one of 55 yards length.
 Previous to Payne's drop-kicking rec ord a mark of one yard shorter-62 yards had stood the test of time since 1898, when P. J. O'Dea of Wisconsin booted that distance in a game against North western. The next mark is of 5 yards, and is held jointly by J. V. Cowing, of the 1883 Harvard eleven and J. E. Duffy, Michigan player, in 1891.
 Drop-kicking last year was not only longer, but more frequent. Charles H McGurkin of Villanova, and w. T. Van derGraaff of Alabama, with four goals each for the most made in any one in- tercollegiate game.

Dave Tibbotts 46-yard drop kick in the PrincetonTufts game last Saturday, which was just enough for the Tigers to triumph over the conqlerors of IIar- ward, promises to stand as one of the longest field goals in the 1916 gridiron sea- son, if not the longest that will be rec orded this fall. Tibbott's boot was the only score in the long battle, and 1t came after several of the teammates had endeavored in vain to hang up tally of some sort over the Melfordites His kick was perfect in direction from such a distance and although as it sailed through the air it seemed to be destined to fall short of the crosspiece between the goal posts, it did not begin to drop until it had cleared the bar by about two yards.
 The tabulation and analysis of field goal records have been annual hobbies of the followers of the greater Aneri- can college game. Last year the experts saw the drop-kicking mark, which had stood since 1898, shattered by Mark Payne, of the Dakota Wesleyan eleven, who established the new worlds record with boot of 63 yards.
 No one last season came within strik- ing distance of the wonderful perform

will be the predominating fea- ture.
 The most important games for Saturday with the probable win ner first named are:
 Tech vs Alabama.
 l.. S. U vs. Mississippi A. and M.
 Georgia vs. Furman.
 Sewanee vs Chattanooga.
 Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee.
 Auburn vS. Florida.
 Virginia vs. South Carolina.
 Davidson vs. N. c. and A. M
 Old rivals will be brought to- gether as the result of the east ern clashes. Probably the game which will have the eyes of the gridiron world centered upon it will be the Princeton Harvard scrap at Cambridge. The game will mark the twenty first annual struggle between the two institu- tions with the Tiger victorious in 13 and Harvard in seven.
 But four of Harvard's victories have been registered in the last four years. The old rivals severed relations in 1896 and did not resume until 1911, when Princeton was returned the vic- tor. The last four years, however, has seen the Crimson triumph.
 The two teams are about evenly matched. Joe Rush, the Tiger coach, has developed a powerful machine this year, while Percy Haughton will probably send out model machine to face the ancient rival. Betting to date has favored the Tiger, but the Grim sons landslide victory over Cornell a week ago and the Tigers recently poor showing has brought the odds to even.
 The Yale-Brown battle will also be a good one. Neither eleven has yet suffered defeat. The Providence eleven defeated the Eli last year. their second victory over the Blue in their history, the other coming in 1910, when Brown won over Old Eli, 21 to 0.
 Twenty-two games have been played to date between the two colleges and in IS the Eli has been victorious, while two have been ties. Yale is ex- pected to wipe out last years 3 to defeat in the struggle Saturday.
 The Cornell-Michigan game comes next in order. Cornell won overwhel- ming last year, 34 to '. but are slated for similar treatment from the Yost eleven this year. Cornell has won eleven and Michigan three of the games played to date.
 The Lehigh-Penn State game and the Dartmouth-Pe are also expected to be mighty battles. Pittsburg will win handily over Washington and

ST. BERNARD WINS
 OVER PULLMAN Garland Plays a Brilliant Game-Third Clash on
 Thanksgiving

St. Bernard, November 6.--(Special. .)-St. Bernard football again defeated the High school team of Cullman in closely con tested game here Saturday by the score of 13 to O. The Cullman team easily out weighed the college boys, but the advan- tage in weight did little good against the science and trick plays of the col legians. Time and time again the Blue and White carried the ball through the heavy "Black and Gold'' line for consid- erable gains.
 Captain Garland of the college distin- guished himself by his generalship and brilliant offensive playing. Richardson, the Montgomery boy, playing end for the St. Bernard boys, made a splendid 30-yGxt run through the entire Cullman team for the first touchdown of the game. Me Dewitt, halfback for the collegians, easily kicked goal. The second touchdown was made by Captain Garland on a fake end run through tackle Patrick and Captain Gladney of Cullman were the star per formers for the boys from Cullman.
 Umpire, Colby (Blountsville); referee, F. Stevenson; head linesman P. South (Blountsville); time of quarters, 12 min utes.
 The third game of the three-game series between St. Bernard and the Gull man High school will take place in Gull man on Thanskiving Day.

Proba bly the best game in the entire south Saturday will be the battle in Atlanta between Ala hama and Georgia Tech. Although the Crimson is slated to go down in defeat, the Kelley machine will undoubtedly give the Heisman warriors a hard battle. The Van derbilt-Tennesse fray at Knox vile will come next in importance, while the Chattanooga-Sew game at Chattanooga comes next in line.
 The Crimson-Tech battle prom ises to be good one. Although Tech had scouts over to look the Crimson over in the battle against Sewanee, it will take mighty good team to break up the "Kel ley formation." Kelley is an ex- cellent coach and no doubt ne will have something new to offer for the approval of Atlanta fans as was the case here last Saturday.
 Tech, there is no doubt, has the best team. The Yellow Jackets have wonderful array of ma terial from which Coach Heisman has molded out a team which is among the best in the south. The strength of the Yellow Jackets can be shown by this comparison: Tech held Washington and Lee to to ' tie while the Generals romped over the Navy 10 to 0. The ac- counts of the Generals victory agrees that the Elcock machine could have scored a larger victory had they desired but they went on the defense immediately after se- curing the lead
 If Alabama does score @ victory over the Jackets bigger surprise could not occur. It may happen as the impossible does every day. The Jackets. in the meantime, are the favorites.
 There is but little doubt over any game to be played. The Se- wanee-Chattanoog game, in view of the fact that Sewanee was de- feated by Alabama and Chatta- nooga's good showing against Tennessee looks to be the only game of the day over which there can be any doubt. The Tiger. however, will probably win, but the result will be close. The open play

Not So "Loony" After All

From the Chicago Journal.
 Although the notice plainly stated that fishing was prohibited there. the angler sat placidly dangling his line over the stream.
 The irate keeper. who approached him, was surprised to see that the line was baited with potato. Tn an amused voice he asked the intruder what he was doing.
 Fishing" was the reply. You see, my health has been upset by financial worries, and I came down here to see if fresh air would help me-"
 Thinking that perhaps the poor chap was mentally afflicted, the keeper went away without denouncing him.
 That evening the keeper was in the local tavern, telling his friends about the potato-baited lihe, when in walked ths intruder.
 Any luck?' said the innkeeper kindly.
 "Oh, fair!" was the reply, as the fisher man opened his basket and displayed fine catch.
 Look here" stormed the infuriated keeper, you didn't catch that Ior with a potato'
 ''Oh. no!' said the angler coolly. That was what I caught you with

.SYLACAUGA ELEVEN .DEFEATEDBY SHELBY Machen's Long Run Saves Shelby From Scoring
 ShutOut

Columbiana, November 6.-(Special) The Shelby County High school defeated the Fourth District Agricultural school from Sylacauga here this afternoon by a score of 39 to 6. The game was hard fought, but the Shelby eleven outclassed their opponents in every department of the game.
 Machen's long run for Sylacauga &C., counts for their only score. He evaded tackler after tackler and his run was easily the best play offered by the visi- tors. Thomas played good ball for the Sylacauga boys, but the boys failed to play together
 Shelby took the lead early in the game. Machen's run came in the last few min utes of play. A large crowd witnessed the game.

Texas Rangers
Seldom Catch
Border Outlaws

The Texas rangers, who are now
active in the turmoil along the Mex.
lean border, share with the mounted
police of the Canadian northwest the
honor of being the best qualified and
trained men for the task of keeping
order and peace over large terri
tory. Their work during recent cris-
es has been of the highest order, and
the average Texan swears by the eff
ticiency Of the rangers.
The act creating the rangers was
passed shortly after the Mexican
war, II states that the force is to be
organized for the protection of the
frontier against marauding and thiev'
ing parties and for the suppression
OF lawlessness and crime throughout
the state.
There have been as many as 400
men in the force. At present there
are only ninety.two, divided into
four companies, each commanded by
a captain.
The way they use their discretion
was illustrated late last summer
when three rangers and three unoffic
ial citizens set out to free the lower
Rio Grande Valley of Mexican ma
RAIDERS. They rode through the VII
derness of mesquite trees, prickl,
pear and cactus. The whole country
was quivering with the heat. The
animals that lived in the bush were
silent, and the only life to be seer
was now and then chaparral cocl
that had been disturbed and had fled

CAN YOUR SURPLUS ASPARAGUS

In response to numerous requests
for detailed information as to the
method OF canning the following di-
rections are given:
Wash and clean asparagus as Tor
cooking for the table. Place in boil
ing water and allow 1t to boil for
from to 10 minutes. Remove from
boiling water and plunge into cold
water. This is known as the blanch'
ing process. Pack the asparagus In
Jars. Add one level tcaspoonfull OF
self to every quart. Fill the jars with
boiling water.
Adjust the rubbers and top and
partially seal. Sterilize for sixty
minutes in hot water bath, which In
common language Is known as the
wash boiler outfit. This means six
ty minutes of boiling from the time
the water actually begins to boil Al
the end of this time, remove jars
and tighten covers.
