COUNTY IS
 WINNER OVER TUPELO

Fayette, September 2S.-(special0 Before one of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds ever assembled at College Park. the Fayette County High school opened the 1922 football season Friday afternoon, by defeat ing the Tupelo Military institute, by the score of 19 to 6.
 The weather was more adapted to baseball than football, nandieapping a fair demonstration of the real mer it's of Coach Lenoir's men.
 Practically the entire Fayette line, averaging TAO pounds. and one back field man are new and inexperienced men, several of whom are on the in- jured list and will be out for an in- definite period.

Carpentier to Meet
 Battling Ski Toda,

Paris, September 23.-Georges Car pentier is looked on by the experts as a sure winner over Battling SKI. the Senegalese pugilist, in their 20 round battle for the European heavy weight title to be held here tomor- row.
 The contest has drawn the biggest seat sale ever seen in France. as this is the first opportunity of the French fans in three years to see their cham pion in action.
 While conceded to be the hardest headed fighter on this side of the ocean, and capable of taking unlim- ited amount of punishment, Battling Ski has lost favor by his refusal to train seriously .

order. The certified checks get the preference. because they can be bet ter Identified. If the speculators want seats they usually send their families over to the New Jersey side of the river and have them buy pos tai money orders and send for tickets with fictitious names attached. If the two New York clubs play for the world title, the Tanks will go into the fight favorites in betting. It is the first time that there has been that sentiment in evidence in New York. Last year there were many who though that the Yankees had a chance to win. but that was as far as they went and they wouldn't bet anything better than even money. This year it is different. One man in the Hotel Astor put up s2,000 to $1,500 that the Yankees would de- feat the Giants, and that it would not be necessary to play seven games That is going strong.
 The first game. no matter who plays. for the pennant. will take place on the Polo grounds October |

 October 7-Oglethorpe university. Denny Field.
 October 14-Georgia Tech, Atlanta.

 Among the Freshmen
 Coach Crisp has been putting his Freshman team through very stren- uous workouts this week and as a result has developed a powerful ma chine. Encouraged by their recent game with the varsity, when they hold them to a to Q score, they have all gone to work with added vim and determination to be among the ones to make the trip to Montgomery on the 30th play the Lanier High school
 The line has been strengthened by the adition of Buckner, a giant from Minnesota. who tips the scales at 205 pounds. This man has had consd-- erable experience in football and is very fast to be so large. He has been placed at right tackle, and tho "Itat" line now has three men how erlng around 200 pounds, in Buckner. right tackle, Perry, left tackle. and Camp. le t guard.
 Anderson shows Up We'll
 The backfield is composed of many high school and prep school stars. Tom Anderson. Central High star: Ben Hudson. Lanier High: Winslett. Dadevill High; Dodd, Walker County High Giayson, from Oklahoma, and Cohen from Texas. are among the bright lights. From these men Coach Crisp will pick his regulars for this department.
 The Freshmen have a very attrac- tive schedule this year, including games with Tech Freshman In At lanta: Tulane Freshman in New or leans. and University of Florida Freshmen in Jacksonville. Fla.
 There are over hundred rats out competing for berths on the freshman team and out of this number Coach Crisp will select an eleven that will probably be one of the best fresh- man teams in the south.

PLAINSMEN MEET
 BULLDOG ELEVEN
 HERE SATURDAY
Partners May Move Jackson vile Date Up to Friday
 This Week

A week of hard work faces the Howard College Bulldogs, after their opening game with Jacksonville State Normal yesterday afternoon. Next Saturday, at Redwood park, the Howard eleven meets Auburn in Birmingham's first 1922 game with a major Dixie college in action. It will be one of the hardest games the Bull dogs have to face this year.
 Coach Cope's men didn't make quite the showing expected of them yester- day afternoon, when State Normal held them to a 12 to 0 score, but the Jacksonville aggregation is without a doubt much stronger this year than last, when Howard won from the Staters by about six touchdowns.
 Birmingham Southern is scheduled to meet State Normal here Saturday, but Panther athletic officials state that they are trying to have the date moved up to Friday. so there will not be any conflict in playing dates of the two local schools.

Edges Possessed by
 Giants and Yankees

New York, September 23.-The New York Giants and Yankees clinched by all but the xIimmest of mathematical possibilities the right to battle in the worlds series for the second successive year.
 By defeating the St. Louis Cardinals, while Pittsburr dropped double header to Brooklyn, the Giants increased their lead to six games in the National league. They now need to win only two of their remaining nine games to clfnch the pennant. if the Pirates cap ture all of their remaining five. The Yankees, defeating CIeve- land, while St. Louis lost to PhiI- adeIphia, boosted their lead to four and a half games In the American league. One, victory out of their five remaining con. tests will settle the race, even If St. Louis takes all four of the games left on its schedule.

Fly EMMEr NI,GAULY

University, September 23.-(Spe- cisl.) .)--The past week has marked rapid progress with the Crimson squad. and the team is fast losing the slugGishness that always accom- panies the first weeks of practice. While stress is still being placed on tho fundamentals, scrimmages and signal practice are becoming mora evident, and are taking their place in the days work.
 With the return of several iH- jured men and the addition Of Shorty" Propst. the squad has been greatly strengthened, and there have been several changes In the lineup.
 Wesley Glued to Guard
 Wesley, a center of last year, has been shifted to guard position, and has begun to feel at home at his new post. This man is natural fighter and has gained hold on this posi- : tion that will be hard to break. Hunt, Paget. and Montgomery. alss letter men of last year. are vieing with each other for duty in the guard department. and 1t is hard to tell this early in the game who will be tho chosen one.
 Propst Making Good
 Shorty" Propst has been placed at center, and this giant, who halls from Birmingham Southern, and is only 6 feet inches tall, and weighs over the 200 mark, appears to be able to take care of the central po= sition, with Hunt and Wesley, cen ters of last year, to act In case of emergency.
 There Is greet fight on for the tackle positions Captain Cooper will most probably he first choice for one, and there are Langhorne. Compton, Hubert, Calhoun and Red Brown, all making a desperate ef- fort to land the other position.
 The ends are well taken care of in ex-Capt. Al Clemens, Jack Hova- ter and Tom Newton. Danty, a north ern boy, Is also making a strong bid and may yet oust one of the others for regular berth.
 Twenty BackfieId Men
 There are about 20 candidates out for backfield, and 'Bama Is very for tunate in having such wealth or material to pick from Six of these are letter men from which to pick d nucleus. and the task of picking who's who in this department Is go- ing to be q very tedious one.
 McCartee has recovered sufficiently from an operation to don his uni form ana take part in the scrim- mages and Is one of the most prom ising youngsters. This man handles football as easily as the averag boy does his knife and fork, and is one of the fastest men on the field
 MeClintock, Bartlett, Raty, Whit aker Oliver and Hudson are among the first stringers whom Coach Scott will have on hand to pick his backfield.
 Many Veterans fsnck
 With letter men back for every po- sition and an abundance of new ma teriai every berth on the team Is being hotly contested. Several of the new men have secured places on the varsity, and as a consequence the

 This Year
Fly BENNIE KOPLON

Under the direction of their new and Lee, the Ensley Yellow Jackets have begun their 1922 football work, and right now the Jacket team is humming with activity and grid en- thusiasm.
 Prospects for football at Ensley show the return of six varsity Jack cts to camp, with the addition of two letter men from other schools. Of course there are the usual new men out for the team On the whole, the material is rather green and very light.
 zac Walker, speedy little end from last year, Is back as captain. English, who showed up very well last year, is back at tackle, while Fayette, guard; Hassler. quarter, and Mott and vowell, halfbacks, are also back In the fold. Lowery will not return as expected
 Charlie Young, letter man of Sell ma High, and Bush English. for two years a varsity llnesman at St. Ber- nard, are out for the Jacket team this year and ought to go good.
 The squad this year numbers about 50 men, and, as Coach Bryan has stated that no man Is sure of a berth yet, competition is keen, even among the lowliest on the squad.
 The first part of the past week was devoted to the gundamentals of football, while light scrimmaging was the order of the latter half This week will see the beginning of real work, according to Coach Bry- an. and only the stronger can sur vive.
 As yet. no complete schedule has been announced by Ensley authori- ties, but the complete menu is ex- pected to contain games in neigh boring states.
 The annual Ensley- Central game will take place on Thanksgiving rhls year, but Ensley and Bessemer may not meet on the grid this year.

year on the Tiger varsity at quar- ter and will no doubt exhibit great generalship in this falls campaign.
 Pruett, at right end, looks like a permanent fixture at the old job he vacated in 1919, while Moulton will furnish Pruett an excellent running mate on the other flank. Moulton handled his kickoffs well and will probably be called on most of this season to take care of the Kicking off department. On the line, Grisham and Lawrence showed up best, while Pearce played a steady game. Toward the close of the game, Coach Donahue allowed a number of his "second stringers" to participate in the en- counter. Peterson at quarter. and Allen at half, seemed to be the shin ing lights of the newcomers.
 MariOn's Stars
 The Marion team, though failing to make substantial gains In the game, was not without it's stars. Turner, at fullback, proved to be a hard hit ter and, behind a heavier line, would make trouble for an opposing team. Samuels, playing half, handled his kicks well. L. Gilbert and F.

 Secretary Dent gays that there will be so many star horses here for the races that he has ordered a special tent to house some of the entries. He also stated they would start from the barrier this year, the jockeys would wear col ors and H. D. Brown, veteran of Churchill Downs and Belmont, would act as official starter.
 Mobiles Slim Chance
 The Mobile Bears managed to turn the fourth game of the se- ries with Fort Worth into a dog fall. This means little, however. Had the Bears been able to quit the struggle with a win 1t would have evened up things and given 'em chance. With the scene of battle reverting back to Fort Worth and with the Atzers en- toying to l lead things look a bit gloomy for the Southern league supporters.
 There is far more interest in the series locally than one would imagine, and the phone buzzes even more frequently than when the Barons are playing. Men of chance. however, the wise birds. played the Fort Worthers to grab off the series.
