Big Jack" Has Great Helper In
 "Shadow" Hays
Teddy Is Secretary, Chauffeur, Sparring Partner and Lit-
 tie Bit of Everything
By JAMES J. CoRBErr

Some folks cad him Jack Dempsey S Shadow others term him Little Jack Dempsey" wnne Dempsey, homseIf, classifes him as ;sthe best and squarest little pal of them all.''
 The world knows him as Teddy Hayes of Milwaukee
 Everywhere that Dempsey goes, Teddy Hayes goes, too; everywhere that Dempsey is to he found there you'll find Teddy Hayes Never conspicuous. never prominent, always in the modest back ground but ever alert and ready to do the wish of the king of jbattlers-and to save him from annoyance.
 I He's something of buffer for Demp- sey, the youngster who protects the champion from excessive verbal mauling by a lionizing public: the youngster who teams up with Dempsey in one of the most diplomatic double plays ever de- vised to save a sportive hero from lonesome company.
 A CHESTERFIELD Teddy Hayes is more than that Pri-
 marily he's Jack Dempsey's secretary, dresses like Beau Brummell and with the manners of Chesterfield. But Hayes is not content to serve the mighty gladiator merely in the secretariaI role He acts as Dempsey's chauffeur in a pinch, officiates as his rubber; serves as a sparring partner-when Jack is
 
 keeper in his daily workouts. His com panion on road jaunts, his counsellor-in Jack Kearn s absence-whenever the en- thusiasm of the champion might carry him to extremes in his training. Back in 1916 began the friendship be- tween the one time lightweight and the man who dominates the fistic world. Hayes, then 2 or so, had gone to Salt Lake for a bout There he met Demp- sey, at that time meriy an obscure min ing camp battler.
 Hayes enlisted for naval service when the war broke out He was assigned to the Great Lakes training station and after a. time was named as boxing in structor. Whenever Dempsey went to the station to put on exhibition bouts, Hayes was his puddle" And when the papers were signed in Chicago which would have made Dempsey navy man if the war had lasted only three days longer, it was Teddy Hayes, as govern ment courier, who carried them from Chicago to Philadelphia, where Dempsey was waiting for induction into the naval service of the government
 After Dempsey won the championship he went to the Pacific coast. And among

the first men to greet him was Teddy Hayes, no longer a battler, but a moving picture actor
 Maybe you'll be star at it-maybe
 not Dempsey told Hayes. But anyway, want you as my little lieutenant. You
 be my secretary. see? I've got little
 more money than 1 used to have-and I'll meet the salary they pay you in the ! movies-and go it little better.'' So Hayes became Dempsey's secretary -and Jack Dempsey's shadow" Soon afterward Dempsey and Hayes perfected their famous double play, which always is worked whenever folks | who generally can be classed as pests rush up to Dempsey and monopolize his | time and patience.
 THE DOUBLE PLAY' l Dempsey, ever cordial. always kindly, never fails to shake hands with any
 one who steps forward. And he never balks at exchanging little conversation with anyone But if the stranger per-
 determination to fasten himself upon Dempsey's company, the double play" is started-in this fashion.
 Say, Jack" hazards Teddy, don't for get about that appointment at 12 Cor any appropriate hour).
 Its quarter to twelve now,' adds
 Teddy, extracting his watch. why Auun you cell me-Why uiuH you tell me? frowns Dempsey. Gosh, we've got only 15 minutes to get there. And then Dempsey, turning to his guest" grabs his hand. shakes it and
 says: Sorry, old fellow. but I've got to be skipping along"-and away go Demp- sey and his shadow"
 The "guest" has been dismssed-but in most diplomatic fashion dismissed in way that leaves no hurt or wound to his feelings-and everybody is happy. To Teddy Hayes does Jack Dempsey give credit for originating and perfecting the famous double play" which con sistent1y saves Dempsey from annoy ance-and yet brings no sense of hurt to anyone

Vandy EUenLy Matched With The Crin1sons

Alabama and Vanderbilt, who will meet here Saturday in one of the weeks greatest grid iron clashes, are about as even ly matched as any two s. I. A. A. elevens which have played Tn Birmingham this year.
 In the two big games already staged here, namely, the vanderbilt-Auburn and Alabama-Sewanee clashes, it was easy to ptck the winner before the game was played. The game Saturday will be different, however. The out come will be in doubt until the final whistle blows.
 Not at all crushed by the terrific defeats doled out to them by Tech and Auburn, the Comm odores seem to have recovered their balance and are swing tng along at top speed now. The de- feat of Kentucky State Saturday is eyidence of the "come back spirit of the Commodores
 If comparative scores may be
 used as T medium of comparison
 vandy and Alabama perfectly
 matched. Kentucky and Sewance
 
 Sewance- zI to 0, and Vandy de-
 featcd Kentucky, 20 to o, which
 would indicate that there is noth-
 ing to choose between the two.
 However, 1t must he taixe1 into
 consideration that Alabama might
 have scored another touchdown or
 two but for penalties.
 In curbstone circles yesterday it was being discussed what odds if any, would be given when the writer ambled up. 1t developed that there probably won't be any odds and that the gam blers will demand even money when Alabama and Vandy meet, without even srotting a few points. Even money, win or lose, seems to, be the verdict.
 Alabama has a swell chance to hook onto a good claim to the s. |. A. A title this year. The outcome of the Mandy Alabama, Georgia Alabama. Ala bama-A. & M and Auburn Tech games will probably tell the real champion of 1920, unless another batch of up- Acts occur. If Alabama wins her re- fnaining big games this year, her claim ito the title will be a good one, unless EGeorgia Tech continues to down all Proposition and romps on Auburn in de- cisive fashion Thanksgiving, chances sUf which are even now being discussed 6y gridiron devoteeS

 Conquer Your Rheumatism

The tiny pain demons that cause your Rheumatism will be back on the job with the first approach of damp, wintry weather, ready to take up their battle against your comfort with re newed fury.
 And if you are going to again rely upon the liniment bottle to try to rub the disease away, you will be doomed again to nothing but disappointment. A disease that can cause so much pain and suffering as Rheumatism, is not on the surface of the skin, and cannot be rubbed away.
 Many forms of Rheumatism are caused by a tiny disease germ in the

B. A. C. RUNNERS
 FINISH SECOND IN
 THE A. AND M. MEET

Coach Wilbur Hutsell and his Athletic Club cross country runners returned from Mississippi A. & M College yes- terday, where they competed in the S. A. A. u- meet staged there Saturday,, Fol- lowers of the B. A. c. team feel elated that Hutsell's runners were able to land second place in the meet over a rather large field of entries.
 A. & M. landed first place easily. Spen- cer the Mississippi colleges star run ner, came out first Ellsworth Richter of the B. A. c. came fourth, followed in close order by Laughlinhouse and other B. A. C. runners.
 A. x M. seems to have a very strong cross-country team this year. Here S what Coach yFutsen has to say about the Aggy IT f.ners:
 Mississippi certainly has a strong combination of cross-country runners this year. Led by the splendid Spencer, the Aggy team so far has proven an un- beatabIe foe. However, when A. & M. sends it's team to Birmingham for the E. A. C.'s annual road race, which will be staged December 4, we hope to show the Aggies that there are others who know how to win road races.'
 Hutsell will keep his men in active training for the December race here. In the meantime he may take his run ners to one or two other races to be staged soon, one of them the race ts take place on Armistice Day.

ENGLISH FEATHERWEIGHT
 AFTER JOHNNY KlLBANE

Fred Jacks, the legitimate English featherwcight champion, is on the trail of Johnny Kilbane. He has beaten sev- eral good boys since he came to America Jacks defeated Fancy Lee for the Brit ish title. Lee, by the way, is the only Englishman who knocked out Jimmy Wilde. They fought several years ago.
 If he is not given work here Managers Joe Woodman and George N. Lawrence will take him back to England, where remunerative offers have been made for his services Jacks is an exceptionally clever youngster, fighting somewhat on the style of Jem Driscoll but he punches harder.
 Woodman, former manager of sam Langford, got Jacks. over here at sreat expense, but he does not intend to waste him. Jacks showed some of his class in mediocre bouts in the west. Tex Rickard has promised Jacks fight in the Garden, but he can't get him opponents
 Get a good featherweight for him and will get him chance to show in the Garden" said the dynamic promoter to Jacks managers the other day
 Jacks, since coming to this country five months ago. has boxed and beaten such good boys as Toughy Murry twice, Harry Kid Brown, Tommy Noble, Frankie Burns, Frankie Nourdin and Danny Frush, and while promoters all over the country are wanting to use Jacks, as he is most satisfactory boxer and one who gives the fans run for their money. the feathezweights don't seem to .care for Jacks game. the little Englishman is obliged to go out of his class and take on leightweights, and he seems to be equally as good in this class. as he de- feated Jack Lawler a few weeks ago at Atlalta-

Texas League correspondents say that the Texas League will make fight at the Kansas City meeting next month for promotion to Class A rating. There is no reason why the promotion should not be granted. The Texas circuit is every whit as fast as the Southern and pays as large salaries; it is faster, draws bet ter crowds and pays more money than the Western. The Texas League has long been rated below it's real class and the little matter of population should not obstruct it's Chattanooga Times.
