has risen from approximately 1000
tons raised on 10000 acres Of land
about 30 years ago. to about $1,000

Vandy Baseball
 Men to Practice
Inaugurate Policy of Fall Train ing Season At TenneS-
 see University

Nashville September 24-(Special.)-
 Inauguration of the policy of fall base
 ball practice at Vanderbilt has been an
 nounced by Coach Byrd Douglas, witA
 view of selecting material for next sea-
 son. It will not interfere in any way with football on Dudley field, as prac.
 tice has been arranged in the local
 Southern League park and is especially
 planned to take care of many Wander bilt students and prospective students who hope to be on the varsity team next season but have little interest in football.
 The official reporting date for baseball candidates has been set for Monday and the practice will extend over a period of approximately one month. At the con clusion of the actual training period round robin tournament will De held between teams selected by the coach with a view of determining the auali- ties of the various candidates under
 actual playing conditions.
 Prep schools have been invited to send
 players for the practice work and par tcipate in the tourney with view of lining up formidable material for next spring, and a large number of prospects are expected to turn out.
 The fall training method has been found successful in other colleges, espe- cially in the far west. where the eli mate permits of play until late i'll the winter but its introduction here wil prove a decided innovation among south. ern colleges.

Central 10 Open
 Season Saturday

After four days of hard practice. the men on whom Central is depending to carry the Crimson and White standards to a state championship are rapidly rounding into condition for the first game of the sasoG, which opens Satur- day here with Marshall County Highs team.
 Vsry little Is known of the power of the Marshall eitVen, as it is d new ar rival on CentTars schedule. The fol- flowers of Central will nave their first chance to see Sheir warriors in lction his year, when Coach Gil Meyers sends them through the first scrimmage of tre saeson Monday afternoon on Smiths field.
 The Crimson football aspirants are holding daily workouts at Smith 5 field and the poppy bunch of lads Coach Meyers has out each afternoon through strenuous practices, such as to begin with passing the ball around and falling on the pigskin, then later on running signals and prac- ticing open style plays
 THE LINE
 The line, though not heavy is going to make opponents sit up and take mo- tice. What the forwards lack in weight, they more than make up in willingness and genuine ability. Here are few of the ores who are trying EoGs for the line: Davis Rox, Fats" MoNeil, Mule Stubbs, "Pignose" Yielding, Bill Gideon, Earl Tingley, all of whom are varsity men of last sea- son. Some of the new ones who show promise of developing into first squad material are: "Nigger' Aaw1ey, Jack Sh; nnon, Earl Weaver, Clarence K Kearns, Frank Norris and Ralph Mills. THE BACKFIELD
 In the backfield at present there is 'only one veteran of last year availa- ble for the squad, and that is Jess Rey holds. Jimmie Woods is at present tied up with the National Guard, but is expected back some time this week.
 However, to make up for the scarcity of varsity material in the backfield, there are several promising new ones out who should make good. Some of i them are: Bill Steele, Ferdiel Levie, 1 Tom Anderson, Buck Streit, Luther Reynolds and Rush Simpson.
 At quarterback, two mighty prolnis- ing your gsters have turned up in La han and Bill Durr. Lahan has had ex- perience with regimental team while in the army. He comes to Central with quite rep" behind him. Bill Durr is a promising young player from Webb S school in Tennessee.
 Coach Meyers will be forced to adopt d system of his own in making his :ni- tial pick for the first squad Coming to Central as he did he was mac quainted with his men and all he knows of their playing ability was what they show on the field. Accord iingly, when he picks his first squad to start the game against Marshall coun- ty Saturday, he will take into consider ation the following things: /The can didate's willingness to work, his eager ness to play, whatever ability he shows to play and the ability to stand l the gaff.
 This, according to Coach Meyers, will decide who's to make the varsity squad and, as he says, Tn my mind I nave 1 already picked a squad of fourteen linesmen and about six baekfield men,
 all of whom seem closely matched in playing ability and who are able to measure up to standards. I am going to have. the hardest time of my life picking a team to start against Mar shall High

Brooklyn Loses
 First Battle of
 Series to Giants

Brooklyn, September 25.-New YorE Brooklyn here today, the series that ul- timately will decide the championship of the Natonal League. The score s to O. resulted from consistent hitting by the Giants and good pitching on the part ot Barnes, backed by wonderful fielding support. The game was played under worlds series conditions, with an at tendance that taxed every bit of avail able space at Ebbets field, The gates were closed to all except those holding reserts seats an hour before the game started. Thousands were turned away.
 Notwithstanding the defeat today Brooklyn needs only to win two more games to cinch the pennant and this can be accomplished by taking two from New York or one from them and the final game to be played with Boston.
 New York scored today in, four innings and made at least one hit in every in- ming. McGraw's men started after Grimes in the first inning. With Burns disposed of, Bancroft hit triple dowr the first base line and scored moment later on a wild pitch. Young walked and completed the circuit when Frisch hi' to center for three bases. Frisch was caught at the plate on an unusual play Myers relayed to Kuduff and the latter threw over Johnson's head. The bal caromed off the stand at such an anglo that it went to Miller and he had nc trouble retiring Frisch.
 Burns walked in the fifth and was sent to third on Bancrofts out and Young single,y scoring while Frisch was beins retired at first Burns and Bancroft who got on in the seventh by singles scored on Young's hit to right. In the ninth, with one out, Young got his third hit and went to third when Frisch erounder went through Kilduff The two runners attempted a double steal, bu' Miller, in an effort to catch Young al third, threw the ball into left field, ano both scored
 In tn esixth inning Smith hit into tnt crowd in deep center, scoring Doyle, who had doubled. The latter, however, wal sent back to second and Smith was de olared out for stepping out of the boz to hit the ball.
 Grimes stuck to his task of trying t' stop the Giants until the seventh, wher he gave way to Mamaux. The iaete was taken out for pinch hitter in tn' eighth and Mohart pitched the, last Ill ming Brooklyn made two hits off Barnes Sjn the third one in the fourth ana on' in the seventh. Score:
