'OHnger And IShirly Being Used as Backs

Auburn, November 10.- Especially = With September weather and in the face of No vember football, the Tigers with one defeat behind them are preparing to keep the slate clean for the remainder of the season.
 Charlie Scott and Red Howard, tw :, mainstays of the s. A. T. C. back fieli are out for the year on account of jn- Juries. McCray, sub fullback, has left college. Ed shirling, considered by many as the best fullnack in the south, is back in the game after a layoff due to a ruptured blood vessel sustained in the Vanderbilt game.
 Due to the shake-up in the back field Mike Donahue is experimenting with reg ular ends to fill the vacant places. Ol- finger and Shirey are being used as halves with great success in scrrn- images The line has improved greatly since the Georgia game.
 Auburn meets the strong Washington and Lee team in Birmingham Saturday and hard and close game is predicted. The famous Auburn spirit is rising by leaps and bounds, and the slogans from now on are ''The Generals Must Sur render" and 'Get Georgia Tech

 Are the magnates going to reward the players-or not?
 For several seasons the tendency Or the players salary has been downward. It reached it's crest during the war with the Reds. The fat contracts then made expired in 1917 or 1918 And when they did. radical reductions were made. Sal aries were slashed in half.
 Most of the contracts made recently between players and mag gnates have beeI' for one year. That means that the bulk of the 1920 agreements have expired From now on until spring will be tn. renewal season.

Salaries Of Ball
 Players H 1927 Should Be Higher

How about the 1921 salaries for ball players?
 Will the athletes be rewarded by the magnates-or not?
 The 1920 season was the most profitable in the entire history of the diamond sport. Every club in the major circuits made rrofit, ranging down from sums estimated beyond sl,ooo.ooo to .l5o.oo as a minimum. It is reported that in prac- tically every instance the money made last season was more than sufficient to wipe out deficits under which some clubs have been staggering for years
 In the past some clubs have used their indebtedness as an argument against, against paying bigger salaries to players? Others pointed out that because the previous season had been lean and the ensuing year held no better promise that was sufficient reason for refusal to boost salaries.
 Some players accepted the excuses; others revolted Holdouts were many. One side or the other eventually cap- itulated. But not before lot of ill., feeling had been created between the player and ciub-an animosity which never was helpful-always harmful.
 HOW ABOUT NEXT YEAR?
 What about 1921?
 Just now most of the magnates are reported to be rolling in wealth." have placed on the right side of the books enough 1920 profit to insure them against a half dozen unprofitable years. The Yankees, Indians, White Sox, Giants, Reds and Dodgers are reported to have cleared from 5, 1,25O, GOO oown to $5000o0, Inssmuch as their operating cost per year is not much greater than s200,00J or $25o,0o0 at the very most-and the next few seasons promise to be prof. ftable-the 1920 yield Eill continue as may invade the east to match strength with some strong teams next year how ever.

ALLEN HEIIDS THE
Apl'EAI.

Governor Allen Of Kansas has de-
c'lned to honor the rcquisiti0n made
by Governor Brough for the person
OF Robert l., Hill. charged with COM
licity in and fomcnting the Elaine
riots. The surprising thing about the
whole matter is the "changc Of 'front.'

Chief Lxccutiye OF Arkansas
We do not see that any discourtesy
was intended to Governor Brough.
1t was Il question OF saving a human
life. 1t WAS certainly established be
yond cavil that no colored person
charged with. completely in these
riots can get fair trial in that
ncighborhood in Arkansas.
TO emphasize the fact that fair
play was not contemplated. the
charge that. Hill impcrsonated a
United States officer is too flimsy to
lie considered for moment. 1t Is an
attempt TO get Hill back into Arkan-
s"s. where after he lands in the State
he is to be tried upon the original
charge.
In our discussion with Rev. Dr..
T.. G.. Morris, we called attention
to this fact and advised him that he
ard his associates could not guaran-
tee Hill fair and impartial trial
should he be carried back there for
trial.
DR.. Morris said that he believed
that Hill was innocent. Governor
III ough. his personal friend says that
he believes that he is guilty. If he
is guilty who believes. otherwise but
taat death will be hisoportion III the
great State Of Arkansas? In this
matter. we think that Governor Al
len has shown wise judgment and
keen appropriations Of conditions in an
adjoining State. Governor Brough
should remember that the primary
