BRATcHI SETS RECORD.

Fred Bratchi, Southern league out
fielder. and former Tribesman. Is
going after what is believed to be
a record for consecutive games
played in the Southern league.
Beginning with Memphis in 1917,
when he played about 1870 games,
Fred has not missed championship
game with the club to which he has
been attached since he entered the
Southern. He played 73 in 1918, LAB
in 1919 and 154 in 1920, $40 in the
past three seasons. There Is some
doubts as to how many he played
in 1917 and pending an adjustment
of the argument 1t is not possible to
tell Just what the record Is. but
it's practically certain that he has
passed the 500 mark.
Bratchi went from Columbus to
Memphis about May 1, 1917. He had
a marvellous season with the Chicks,
driving in more than 100 runs, scor-
| ing SO himself and making Ia hom-
ers. He played every game. Fred
also participated in every contest of
the Chicks in 1918. He was snapped
to Atlanta for Lou Christenbury
last spring, and joined Chattanooga
in midseason in deal with Neider-
korn for Bob Higgins. He did not
miss a game with Atlanta and
donned the harness at once for
Chattanooga without a break.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.--More than
score of the country's biggest foot

in important games tomorrow.
The last big Saturday schedule of

The shrill blasts of the referees
whistle will set Yale. and Harvard
in motion at New Haven in the big
gest game OF the day. with a crowd
of 10000 persons looking on.
Harvard is a strong favorite to
win, but Yale supporters are conf
dent that the big Crimson ream will
know it has been to football game
before twilight shadows start play
ing around the big bowl.
The cham pionship of the big Ten"
will hang in the balance when Ohio

In addition to those games the con-

gridiron in 1875 and Yale, for sweep
of two decades a mighty power in
the football world, has % victories
