New York, November 5.-The records of the Is major league clubs during the past baseball season present some un- usual and interesting features. While these statistics are not based upon the official league averages, they conform closely to the authentic percentages. and for the purpose of comparison are thoroughly reliable, being compiled, in many cases from the official box scores
 The records show that the Chicago American league club, winner of the world championship series, led the junior organization in both the num- Der of games won and the total num- Der of runs scored. Tn no other depart nlent did the White Sox hold the pre- mler position, although the average of the team was very high. Boston played the greatest number of games during the season, due to five tie con tests Detroit. which finished fourth, led in hitting, while the Boston Red sox held the opposing teams to the lowest number of runs.
 The figures also give a clear insight into the loose play of the Philadelphia Athletics, who finished in last place. The Mackmen scored next to the 1arg est total of runs, being but 3S behind the Chicago club in this respect and but 23 hits short of the Detroit record, which enabled the Tigers to win first place In this department of the game As an offset to this excellent offense, however. the Athletics showed the
 poorest defensive play of any club i

New York, November 5.-A national campaign to eliminate unnecessary of flee details so that more men may be spared for military service has been launched by a war committee of the National Association of Credit Men, it was announced tonight
 Every duplication and every unnec- essary movement in office administra- ton may be eliminated so that business men can do their bit to help America win the war;" said a statement issued by J. H. Tregoe. secretary treasurer of the credit men,
 Virtually every business man in the United States will be asked to co-op- crate in the movement so that seven persons. girls. boys or men over the military age. can efficiently perform the duties of 10 men. Ono of the re- forms to be inaugurated will be the elimination of millions of unnecessary letters"

VANDERBILT TEXPECTS ID DOWN ALABAMA;
 LINEUP UNCHANGED
Coach McGugin's Men in Fair Shape-Feeling of Victory Over Grim
 son Sprung Up

Nashville, November 5.-(speeial)
 Hard workouts continue to be the style at Vanderbilt and every day finds the Commodores on Dudley field practicing until long after dark The last day of practice will be used for an extended signal drill in order to make the work of the team smoother and less cratic. F'umbling of the bail has been rather frequent lately and
 the coaches are trying to add more
 polish and smoothness to the work of
 the machine.
 The squad leaves Thursday night for
 Birmingham and as the time draws
 nearer the players are still determined
 to make the most of any opportuni-
 ties they might have in the game with
 Alabama Saturday, and a feeling of
 confidence that the Crimson will have
 to bring all the punch they have to
 decisively defeat the Commodores has
 sprung up. Not that Vanderbilt sup
 porters are hoping for a victory over
 one of the strongest elevens in Dixie,
 but there are many here who believe
 that the Gold and Black machine will
 put up far more opposition to the Crimson than did Sewanee. It has also
 been freely predicted that the Ala bama combination must hustle some to prevent the Commodores from SCOT ing on them.
 The return of Norman, a sub on last years squad, has brought cheer to the hearts of football followers here. Norman was used in practice at half and may be used there in the game Saturday. He is a great deal heavier than Top Richardson and showed con siderable ability last year. He halls from Louisiana and is fine specimen of manhood.
 Except for the fact that Norman may be used at half in place of Richard son Saturday, the lineup will prob ably show no change over the one used against Tech. Adams will be used in the backfeld while his place at end will be taken by Hendrix. The entire team will average in weight some where between 16o and ITO pounds while from all reports gained the 1 Crimson machine will average close to 16F pounds.
 l But the plucky Commodores are no: afraid to go up against such bulky 1 eleven. They have not pleaded for any let-up in practice. but have shown I themselves eager to do anything to l improve the team. The same spirit has been shown all the year and if there Is a reward for pluck they will rear \ it Saturday.

Auburn, November 4.-(Special) The Plainsmen are now on the last lap of their football playing season. From now on Auburn will meet teams that will test every ounce of strength in the bodies of each athlete. So far as can be ascertained in the annals of Auburn football the present sched- ule seems to be the hardest that the Tigers have ever had.
 One reason for this can be asain
 blamed on the war. Whom college
 opened there were few games scled-
 uled so the management went ahead
 and began negotiations with several
 good universities and colleges for
 games. AS a result in the last few
 weeks, Coach Tichenor. who has
 charge of such things in the absence
 of Tom Bragg. has been swamped with
 games From now on a game will be
 played on every available date and
 with topnotch teams.
 Next Saturday Atlanta will see
 real battle when the Auburn Tiger
 bucks up against the fast Davidson
 eleven. It will be up to Auburn to
 pull out on the long end of the score if she comes out at the end of the
 son is the only one thus far this sea. son that has been able to make any inroads on the Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech, and it is this thing alons that has caused Auburn supporters to tremble for fear that something might happen.
 CLOSE GAME EXPECTED this battle will be real contest True, in comparison with the supposedly great strength of the Georgia Tech team it will be rather inferior game, but when it comes to real fight for supremacy these teams will have it 1 up and down sure enough. It appears ] that the teams that will represent l Auburn and Davidson are pretty even l ly matched; that is, so far as can be ascertained. Who would rather see a great team run up against weaker ] one than to see two evenly matched teams go through a gruelling hour of 1 matched generalship for well earned victory? This question needs no an swer, and because of the apparent 1 equal strength of the combatants this I battle will be worth seeing by any l lover of the grand old game of foot l ball.
 | On November r Auburn journeys l to Nashville to take on the Wander | bilt huskies. It has been the bad for I tune for the Tiger to bow down to Vandy for two years in succession and for this reason alone Auburn wishes to come back to the plains of ] Alabama with the long end of the 1 score on the string.
 l The true strength of Vanderbilt is yet rather obscure. but McGugin al l ways has his pet tricks and formations l fixed for Auburn and especially will 1 he feel like it is his duty to take ! the Tiger into his air this year as
