TEAM WORK
By BILLY SUNDAY (Famous Evnngelist)

When the hoorah stuff is turned loose al that college melee. known as football game, 1t is pretty much all. I've piped it, for the boy that carries the ball And it Is coming to him, too,
 Football never was my game, I being much more hep to the pastime of the diamond.
 But a lad who bucks the old line and winds up yard and a half to the good, with his map pushed into the mud and half ton of athletes on his clavicle, has been through something, take 1t from Uncle Bill, and the least you could offer h4.n Is the glory from the grandstands
 But did the idea ever sift into your dome that the boy who ear ries the ball Is not the whole team by about 10 other men? There is a flock of pals, every time he starts with the spheroid, to push him and pull him, and to give him the old first aid toward making every inch count
 He gets the worst of the going. to be sure. as well as the frenzied applause. but he wouldn't get any where much if he didn't have the rest of the bunch in action with him.
 And it's just like that, too. in this big game where we Tanks are trotting out on the field to tear into the hefty Hohenzollerns.
 Those lads of ours. who are over there waiting for the whistle, are going to lug the leather for our side, but everyone of us left over here will have to help them along if we want to get that touchdown,

how they view the latest move of the Dutchman to embarrass President Baugh. As whole, the Ba- rons were dissatisfied with playing the series under the plans as an- nounced by the committee several days ago, but 1t is hardly probable that any of them would agree to play In a series not under the super vision of the league.
 The Atlanta club protested to Baugh on the division of the profits of the series. They objected to the clubs receiving any money. Conse- quently, with dissatisfaction apparent, President Baugh called off the series. Now Frank makes another move.
 The series could not be played with out the sanction of the league and President Baugh would hardly grant his consent. Consequently. it appears as though another plan of the schem- ing Dutchman has been wrecked.

Charley Frank, manager of the At lanta Crackers-the team which blocked the post-season series-is ap- parently trying to put one over President R. H. Baugh of the South ern league. The foxy Dutchman is endeavoring to get the players to agree to play the series with the original plans with the exception that the league take 20 per cent and the players the remainder
 This action was made known yester- day by a telegram from Dick Jemi- son, sporting editor of tht Atlanta Constitution. It follows:
