ed, caused considerable delay in the
development of an efficient air force

Roush Played e Wonderful
 Game During World Series
Star Red Outfielders Practically on Par With Iris Speaker-Speediest of Players-His Wonderful Catch Probably Saved
 Game for Reds
By LANES J. coRRErr

No more brilliant fielding ever was flashed in any world series than that of Eddie Roush, the sensational gar dener of the Cincinnati Reds. It was his superhuman work on at least three occasions that halted potential rallies of the White Sox and hurled them back to defeat
 Roush has been. ranked around the Older Circuit as performer beyond anything in National league outfield ing .harness. But many American leaguers were skepticaI-unti1 the blue ribbon combats were played. And now they accord to Roush the distinction of being an outfielder practically on a par with the supposedly peerless Iris Speaker.
 Roush is one of the fastest men in baseball today-and that speed of his is one of his mightiest assets in turning sure hits" into outs. He has been timed going to first base in three sec onds-a mark that challenges all com outfield he is like a jackrabbit
 The miracle performer of the Reds executed some startling plays during the recent world seres-one hair rais- ing performance after another. But perhaps the most spectacular of all was his catch of a wallop by Happy" relsch in the second combat. Jackson yas on base when Felsch connected

Vandy and Tech Play in Atlanta Saturday

Duncan; if the ball goes to right, you II find him backing up Neale. Time and again through the regular playing sea- son Roush has saved games fof the Reds by his backing up work For drives have gone past the other out fielders. or they have bobbIed them. And because Roush was there to scoop them up, the opposition batsmen gas held to the original limit of bases for his drive.
 And as to batting:
 Well, the fact that Roush led the league this year, also laW gear and was only nosed out by few points in 1917 tells the story of the prowess of Roush with the bludgeon, He's termed the batter without weakness-"the man who can't be fooled" He dos.,,'t hit them all safe-but you never find Eddie Roush swinging at a bad one. The eye that is unerring in the out field in judging drives, is the same un- erringSoptic when Roush is at the plate
 John McGraw passed Roush along to the Reds some years ago for little more than the "proverbial song" But aodaY. if Eddie Roush were placed on the baseballing auction block it's likely that he would bring as much money az any player in the game-barring, per haps, the mighty TysCobh

OF WORLD
 SERIES COMPLETED

Cincinnati, October 13.--Instead of holding a formal session here today August Hermann, chairman of the na- tional baseball commission, and the other members of that body, disposed of the final details of the worlds series by telephony, Hermann announced to- day.
 The commission decided to give the four umpires who officiated in the world series the usual compensation of 5000 and $250 extra, plus the expenses of reaching their respective destinations from Chicago and not to allow the full $2000 asked for.
 The Cincinnati baseball club today presented Manager Pat Moran with a check for $5000 as a bonus for winning the National league pennant. The club also gave money to 1nfielder Hank Schrieber. and Outfilder Charley See, recruits, in addition to the small amount they received in the distribution of the Reds share of the worlds series receipts.

BULLDOGS "CHESTY" OVER RECENT GAMES
Moody Showing Up Well at End-Adams Back at
 Howard

The Howard college Bulldogs came through the Sewanee game in fine shape and are feeling quite "chesty" over their showing made against two of the supposedly strongest southern col lege team.
 In Saturdays game, the Tigers scored twice in the first quarter, but then the Bulldogs found their bearings on the muddy field ana held, the Tigers scoreless until the last two minutes of play in the game. Howard followers fully believe that their team would have made a much better showing on dry field.
 Howard is scheduled to meet Ala bama Saturday, and it is evident that the Thin Red Line" will take no chances on the strength of the Bulldog eleven. Howard has made such gal lant showing against Auburn and Se- vance that it is hard to speculate on what she will do against Alabama. Coach Dillon stated that his boys will fight to the last ditch, and are going to do their best to keep the score down.
 In the daily practices, Moody star end, has been showing up mighty well. He has been playing an excellent game at his position
 Hawthorne Adams, who began the present term with Howard, but stopped school, is back with the Bulldogs, and is out for the varsity team. After he becomes used to the style of foot ball now in vogue at Howard he may dlsplace one of the lighter men on the line.
 The Howard student body is mighty confident in the Bulldog eleven, and IS expecting great showing against Alabama next Saturday. Coach Dillon has confidence in his team, and be- ileves that it will score on Alabama.

ALABAMA ID MEET |. HOWARD SATURDAY "Thin Red Line" Played a. Great Game Saturday.
 Tries New Plays
By GEORGE H. WATSON

University, Ala, October 13.-(Special.)- Following the defeat of the University of Mississippi last weea, Alabama Is pre- paring to take on the fast eleven from Howard college in game on the local gridlron next Saturday. Because of the good showing made by the Baptists in games with Auburn and Sewanee, local fans are wondering if tho Birmingham aggregation will be able to, score on the Crimson machine.
 There is one big reason why Crimson
 supporters are anxious to know the out
 come of the Alabama Howard game The result will furnish comparison via. Of
 the comparative score route of the rela-
 tive strength of Sewanee Rnd the thin
 red line" It is less than three weeks
 until these two ancient enemies tie up in
 their annual hectic struggle at Birming-
 ham. In a sea of, mud and rain the
 Sewanee Tigers were able to shut out
 the Howardites by score of IS to o. If
 Alabama can increase this score over the
 Baptists she will naturally feel optimistic
 over the Sewanee game.
 Several of the Crimson players are still
 nursing minor injuries received in the
 two initial games of the year. Ike Rogers,
 owing to a lame arm, was able to play
 only a few minutes in the fracas with "Ole Miss Saturday. RedsBrown has a swollen knee as result of the Missis- sppi game. Several other players have their share of bruises, sprains and charley horses.
 For the first time this season. Coach Scott tried out number of new plays in the Mississippi game. They all worked we'll with one exception. Coach Scott is devoting large portion of the time the 1 first of the week to a mastery of the signals and new formations. The Grim son team showed weakness in the punt | ing end of the game Saturday. The Crimson mentor had picked out one or two men in whom he is doing his best to develop a sure toe.
 | The scrub team, which does not include any of the some 20 varsity players, is anxious to schedule a number of games with agricultural and high schools 1 throughout the state It is probable that l the scrubs will play some team next Sat urday Negotiations are being carried on 1 for a game between the scrubs and some other team at Birmingham on the day l of the Sewanee game. If the game. IS | jarranged it will probably be played before the regular game and between halves.

ENSLEy TEAM WELL L|NEDUp FOR CAME Tigers Have Plenty of Ex- perience-Walker and
 Tidmore Back

The Ensley Tigers are fast molding into condition for the Central game, which is only few days off. Coach Craig is putting them through strenuous work outs and scrimmages every after roon, and he says that they will be in the pink of condition for the game Friday afternoon. The team has been greatly strengthened by the return of Captain Walker and Tidmore, These two men are the main strength of the Ensley back field.
 Ensley has been handicapped in a way this year by the loss of Kyle and Rosen- field, but Coach Craig has found some valuable men in Murphy and Candy to fill their places Coach Craig has his out fit running very smoothly now, and he is expecting to give Central a great fight He said last night: 'I have a great team this year, but I will not make any predictions as to what Ensley will do
 When asMd what he thought of Cen tral he said: "They have a game team and one with plenty of pep and fight in them, but we have one with just as much pep and fight as theirs"
 Looking over Coach Craig's outfit, we find that they have the advantage over Central when it comes to experience, but they arI evenly matched as to weight. A review of Ensley as to experience: At center they have Scholl, a two-year man; last year he was considered by some as the best high school center in the state. At the guards they have Botta and Murphy. This is POttas second year on the team, but this is Murphy s first year with the team, and it is not yet known what he is capable of doing yet. It is not known at present who he will run in the tackles, as both Hofer and Wilcox are not in school this year On the ends they have Snapp and Peck This is Snapp's third year on the team Peck has been on the squad two years, but this is his first year at end.
 Captain Walker is back at his old posi- ton, quarter. This is also his third year on the team. At left half. Tidmore. the terror of all high schools will be seen again this year. Cook or Candy will hold down right half Both of these men are old men, Weaver, an old Central man, will run at full. He was with the famous 1917 Central team
 From all standpoints this will be the best high school game staged in Bir- mingham this year

 A WONDERFUL CATCH
 When the ball started to sail Roush was about 100 feet from the fence. With the crack of the bat he turnedsand raced backward. It wasn't one of those high flies that can be judged in the arching; rather it was line drive of the most tremendous variety that whis- tied along 30 feet or so aff the ground. Three times during his race back ward Roush turned to gauge the ball. Twice he had to change his course with the curving of the ball, and then he turned again, and with his back to the fence. reached up both hands to the highest point and pulled down the drive that would have been a certain homer. It was a catch that only one outfie1der in a thousand could have made: mir acle performance if ever there was one And that feat of Roush saved the anne. for, had he missed it, two runs would have scored-and the game would have baen fled m
