Giants Haue Won
 Eleven National League Remnants

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-By defeat Ing Brooklyn today and capturing the 1923 pennant. the Giants scored their eleventh victory in National league history, thus tieing the record of the Chicago Cubs.
 Nine of these pennant triumphs have been gained under the indomi natble leadership of John Joseph Me Graw ("Little Napoleon") who lead all others in this respect. His near est rival Is Connie Mack, tall tutor of the Philadelphia Athletics. who has six to his credit.
 McGraw holds the additional dis tinction of having twice in his career won three pennants in a row. a feat no other manager has ever per formed. The Giant chieftain piloted his club to victory in 1911, 1912 and 1913. The Chicago Nationals twice captured three flags in row, but two managers shared in the honors, the late Pop" Anson leading the club to the top In 1880, 1881 and 1882, while Frank Chance piloted the Cubs to championship In 1906, 1907 and 1908.
 Besides his triumphs of the last two seasons also accounted for pen nants in 1904. 1905 and 1907. The other New York pennants were won in 1888 and 1889.
 McGraw's goal now is to establish a record of winning three consecu- tive worlds championships. His club conquered it's metropolitan rival in nd
 The Giants won the pepnant this year only after one of the hardest fought campaigns in the annals of the senior league. Except for a brief spurt by the Brooklyn Dodgers early In the season, the worlds champions met their stiffest opposition from three western clubs, with Cincinnati and Pittsburg forming the chief menace to their supremacy.
 The real turning point in the race came in the crucial midsummer western trip of the Giants, who played at the top of their game to series and then take five straight from the Reds. These victories gave the McGraw men a formidable ad- vantage, but they were unable to stand off further challenges.
 The Reds despite their crushing setbacks rallied, and they kept close to the top by taking a later series from the Giants at the Polo Grounds. Virtually all further chances for the Reds vanished. however, when these two rivals broke even in two game series at Cincinnati early this week
 One game on the Giant schedule will be unplayed, a contest with St. Louis scheduled earlier in the sea son, having been cancelled.

Andalusia Wins Game

ANDALUSIA, Ala, Sept. 2s.-- Special )-Coach Anderson's gird team outfit from Luverne fell before the Bulldogs in the opening game of the season here today in game lea tured by consistent gaining on the part of Andalusia's backs to pile up a score of 52 to o. Capt. Hal Jernlgan led the field in ground gaining with his frequent broken field runs for 20 to 40 yards at clip. Clancy. local halfback, raced 50 yards for touch down In the second half for the long est run of the game.
 Spicer's toe work netted extra points after four of the touchdowns. His consistent line plunging for gains proved very helpful as well. Jerni- gan ca rried the oval across for three touchdowns, Spicer three. Caton one and Clancy one.
 Williams. captain and fullback for Luverne. played consistent ball. His passing and line rushing would have been very effective had he been sup ported by a heavier and more ex- -pertenced team. T

SPECIAL TRAIN S| FROM TEXAS HAVE ARRIVED FOR TILT
Pelican Management Expects Record Crowd At 0pen-
 ing Saturday

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 2S.-Two special trains crowded with Texans arrived here today as escort to the Fort Worth club which tomorrow will resume the battle with New Orleans to determine whether the Dixie base ball championship this year belongs to the Texas league or the Southern association The Panther-Pelican fracas is a fifty-fifty affair so far, the Cats having clawed a paw-full of feathers when 1t took the first game Tuesday by score of to l. and the Birds having yanked some fur with a three to nothing victory Wednes- day.
 New Orleans today almost forgot the team" in order to receive the visitors. Both special trains were met by large delegation of fans and the Texans let their presence be known by staging 8 parade from the station to the business district. All, even Jake Atz, and members of his club, wore the -Four Gallon" felt hat fancied in the Lone Star state and as Atz showed up attired in chaps.
 'Lil Stoner, the Panther hurling ace, Is expected to be Atz's pitching selec- tion tomorrow while Larry Gilbert, the Pel pilot, was planning today to send Winn, a left handler, to the mound. Atz was said to be confident Stoner would repeat his performance of Tuesday and turn back the locals. "Rube" Robinson, who beat the Partners Wednesday, was being groomed by Gilbert to duplicate in Sundays game with Whitaker. Mar tina or Dixie" Walker in reserve for Monday.
 The New Orleans club owners were expecting the greatest crowd that ever witnessed a game in this city. After providing seating space for 13,- 900 the management today built addi- tional bleachers and the big park, one of the largest in the country, took on the appearance of stadium. Grand stand and box seats were sold out in seven hours last week ana general admission tickets went on sale this afternoon. The gates will be

CRIlNSONS READY FOR UNION TODAY AT DENNY. FIELD
Union Has Strong Combina- ton To Pit Against
 'Bama

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Sept 2s.-Coach Wallace Wade announced the follow ing probable lineup for Alabama in its opening game at Denny field Sat urday afternoon against Union uni versity: Clements, Whitaker or Hud- son, ends; Buckler and Compton, tackles; Langhorne, Ennis or Camp, guards; Propst, center; MacCartee or McClintock, quarterback; Oliver. Brown or Barnes, halfbacks; Hubert, Sullback.
 saker has been absent from practice most of the week. and there is pos sibility of his not playing. Oliver may be used at an end, Hudson may be used there. Hudson may also see service at one of the guard positions. Jones stands a chance of starting at either guard or center, If Propst does not McClintock Is likely to start at quarter, although MacCartee stands a chance of starting at either guard or center, if Propst does not. McClin- tock Is likely to start at quarter, al- though MacCartee stands as good 8 chance.
 Alabama Is set for her opening en- counter, the field was lined off Fri day, and arrangements made to park all automobiles within Denny field. The Union aggregation arrived in Tuscaloosa at o'clock Friday after noon and looked to be in the best of condition. They are regarded as a very strong opponent for the Ala bama's eleven to meet~as their ini- tial foe.
 Ben Compton seems to have adapted himself to his tackle position with the same spirit that he played guard to such success last season. He will do 'Bama's kicking off again this year, and Is now practicing quite a n Clintock and Brown will do the punt ing. Gillis is without peer on Denny field In this phase of the game. and if he enters will do the kicking. The passing will fall on the shoulders of whoever plays quarterback.
 Clemens and Whitaker or Hudson may. before the season is over. be as dangerous a pair of wingmen as will be ip Dixie. Oliver has been used al right end quite bit, and may take a stab at guarding the position. These three men are fast and ex- perienced players. They can grab ovals coming through the air, and are not prone to be sucked In on plays.
 The line will not be as heavy. The backs will be faster. lighter and in fair shape. All looks rather rosy for an opening clash were 1t not that Union is a much tougher foe than one imagines. Joe Guyon. reports have. 1t. has hammered into his youths football as he played 1t. and the fact that most of them are ex- perienced men means a lot.
 Union university's probable lineup is as follows: Rice and Mclean. ends; Dodds and Westmoreland. tackles; Aycock and Short, guards: lice or Evans. senter; Stewart. captain. and Tate. halfbacks; Baxter, fullback. and Tanner or Parker quarterbacks.
 Leonard "Slim" Carter, crack cen ter Alabama's basket ball team, was elected cheer leader for Alabama's s athletic teams at an election Friday night. Carter is from Huntsville.
 Herbert Steed of Lineville, baseball star, was chosen first assistant.
 Hamilton Perkins of Ensley was chosen second assistant.
