W'GRAW TO AGAIN REMODEL GIANTS
Three Times Giant Manager Has Torn Down New
 York Team

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-The pass ing of Dave Bancroft, Casey Stengel and Bill Cunningham from the Giant team of Billy Southworth and Joe oeschger, is construed by baseball fandom as the opening move by Man ager McGraw toward almost com plete reconstruction of his club
 If such 1t proves, it will mark the fourth time in McGraw's 21 years as Giant manager that he has so overhauled his organization As each of his earlier efforts ultimately brought National league penna1ts to New York, followers of the game will watch with interest his every move from now until the start of the 1924 campaign.
 When McGraw first took over the managership of the New York club he fell heir to or acquired a list of players which included Wiltse, Math- ewson. Ames, McGinnity. Bower man. McGann, Gilbert, Devlin, Dunn, Dahlen, Mertes. Bresnahan and Browne and with that array won the National league championships of 1904 and 1905.
 But when during the following few years this group of players
  but three of their number, Mathew son, Wiltse and Ames. were traded or dropped by the little Napoleon While he set about building tho Giant combination which came to the front with National league titles in 1911, 1912 and 1913.
 On the roster during those three years were Mathewson, Wiltse, Ames, Marquard, Tesreau, Crandall, Dem- aree, Meyers, Wilson, Mclean, Mer llIe, Doyle, Herzog, Fletcher, Devore, Snodgrass, Becker. Shafer, Burns and Murray.
 Built Once More.
 When during 1914 and 1915 they faltered, it became their turn to sui fer the fate of their predecessors Of their number only Herzog, Fletcher. the 1927 Giant team that broke through to another National league title.
 In addition to Herzog, Fletcher and Burns, that 1917 combination in- cluded 5Salee, Benton, sehupp, Fer ritt, McCarty, Rariden, HollSe, Zim- merman, Kauff, Robertson, Trope and wilhoit., And when they in turn failed to acquire titles in 1918 and 1919. their doughty manager seat tered them to the four winds.
 On this occasion, McGraw did a
 
 for George Burns was the single member of the 1917 team with the Giants when they climbed to the Ma tional league top in 1921 and Burns was traded before the Giants cap- tured their 1922 an 1923 titles.
 How extensive will be this years remodeling is. unknown. McGraw has been quoted as saying he is prepared to trade all his 1923 players except Frankie Frisch, Ross Young and Travis Jackson, but whether the trades offered by other clubs will prove acceptable remains a question.
 McGraw's present effort in this di- rection is unique in that it marks the first time in. baseball history that a manager has sought to break up title-winning combination for the next season. ris kf-.i=s a,l4t
 The present deal with the Braves, incidentally, emphasizes that peculiar fate of world series heroes. for Casey Stengel, who goes to- Boston, was the outstanding hero of the Giants during the recent worlds championship games.

PAINTERS STAGE. TOUCH PRACTICE.
Preparing For Union Game Friday Afternoon At
 Redwood

Some hard workouts have featured the Birmingham Southern practice during the past few days before tho Panther meets Union university team at Redwood Friday afternoon.
 The Panther team was put through some stiff scrimmage with special attention paid to- the defensive work for Fridays game as the Tennessee team will have the dope with them for the encounter. The Gold and Black warriors, however, will be we'll prepared to receive the Union attack for a strong team will line up at the opening of the encounter, although & number of new faces will be seen in both the starting line and backfield. rrH
 Several of the Panther's best men will be out of the game on account string men will open the game Fri day without severly weakening the team as the substitutes have shown a fighting spirit. which speaks well for Gold and Black prospects at the close of the week.
 Capt. Hose" Candy and Red Farr will be two of the regulars on the sick list with possibly several others out. A number of the regulars of the past few games have given place to some of the scrubs, who have been forging steadily to the front, and number of the new opening men will occupy their positions on during the past few days. J. Candy And Howell, Ends.
 John Candy and Price Howell will probably be the Panther flankmen at the opening of the tilt although Joe Whiteside has been scrimmaging regularly at the wing position and was uSad fhere apainet Chatta "Nutsey" Malloy and Don Fullbright will also stand by for use as sub stitutes during the game.
 Weeks, Pritchett, Ashwander, Gal houn, Dad" Howell, Evans and Scott will form the group from with the exception of the pivot posi- tion, will be chosen. According to present appearances some of the newer men will be used in the open ing lineup with the former regulars in reserve in case the apparent Rawls will open the fight from the pivot and "Cyclops" Echols may get in the game.
 Tn the backfield either Marlborough or Yielding will alternate with An derson in calling signals the other being used at half. "Curley' Black, who played an excellent game against the Moccasins will be used with Miller at full and Thompson at the other half back berth
 Union is a heavy favorite in the dope for the afternoon but the game will at least be hard played and an interesting exhibition of football Is expected as the Panther has by no means felt himself to be handi- capped by dope and is working hard to overthrow the prophecies made fer the last two games of the season.

 Drilled In Art. Of End Running

 Both Covingtop and Hudgins have been showing exceptionally well this fall in broken field running and will mix these plays with passes from Covington to Lemon and from Cow ington to Thomasson, who is more than making good on the end to which he was transferred following the University of Pennsylvania con test.
 Spurlock, a member of the fresh man eleven of last season, will play against the Auburn eleven for the first time when the two teams meet this weekend, and is showing so much improvement that he will have to be closely watched to prevent him making a substantial gain Spur lock has been doing the bunting for the Colonels in all of the previous games and against Sewanee averaged over 50 yards for the afternoon. He has received special instructions in the art of getting off his punts be- fore the opponent can break through and block it as they did one from the toe of Red" Roberts a year ago, winning the game The Co1onels will leave Danville for the south Thurs day night and will arrive in Birming- ham Friday morning.

EDUCATION WEEK.

Through the influence of the United States government the
week of November 1924 is set apart as Education Week. To i'm
press upon the masses the necessity of a liberal education is the
avowed purpose of our government which has felt in recent years
the necessity of increasing the efficiency of the Melting Pot" in
its task of transforming uneducated, or wrongly educated foreign
es into reputable American citizens. The first generation is some
times tainted win old world hatreds which may be handed down to
the third and fourth generations.
To remove these and to substitute for them the clarity of
judgment which has been the portion of the skilled workmen,
farmers and small business men who constitute the backbone of
America, is a gigantic task for our educational system.
- The successful conclusion of this movement will mean that
there shall be no citizens of our country who have the right of bal
lot who can be elassed as illiterate-
1t will also mean that our citizenry may be trusted to promul-
gate and put into effect such reforms as may seem right to them
without fear of the disrupting of the foundation of this great de-
mocracy.
