"IrOn Men" Become Numerous

Winning one ball game a day is re-
garded as a pretty fair performance in
these days of tie lively ball. To take
down a double-header is performing
the unusual.
Twice this season has the feat been
turned in the National League. John
Stuart, n rookie pitcher of the St.
Louis Cardinals. was the first twirler
to win double-header. He was close
ly followed by Adolfo Luque of the
Cincinnati Reds.
Stuart, who is product of Ohio
State University, broke into the games
won column with bang. He used to
merely finish games, but scarcity of
pitchers caused Manager Rickey 10
start him against the Boston Braves.
He won. allowing only three hits.
Hickey sent him right back for the
second contest and he repeated.
It's been over six years since a ma
jor league pitcher won two games in
one day. The "figgers" show that
back in 1917, Bill Doak, pitching for
the st. Louis Cardinals. twice defeat
ed Brooklyn. Miller Higgins was
managing the Cardinals at the time.
He was sorely pressed for pitching and
offered bonus to Doak if he would
turn in two victories. Doak COL
lected.
Luque's two wins were scored
over Brooklyn.

So Dempsey can hit him and will hit

one can tell. Firpo is not worried a;
all about Dempsey. He doesn't figure
that any living man has chance

even he himself can tell-how he vii.
act when the big surprise comes.
If Dempsey shows he can hit as he
hit at Toledo, the battle ought not
to &c beyond the first round. But
every close observer of the champion
doubts that he can throw his fists
as he did against Willard. Yet again
you can bet he has it in him to hit
harder than he hit at Shelby, great

dope out the result of this coming bal
tie between Jack Dempsey and Luis

AS man, this Firpo is a grant

Wants to Top Off Big Year.
But when one looks over the above
lists of coaches and players, it may
well be believed that Yale is in des-
perate earnest and means to leave no
stone unturned TO wind up the cal.
endar year, which has been so proli-
fic of successes in other sports. with
a real football triumph to gladden.
the hearts of her graduate and under
graduate bodies.
Suppose we analyze the list o..
coaches. Tad Jones, at the head, was
one of Yale's greatest quarterbacks in
days when Yale and victory on the
gridiron were so closely and continu-
ously associated that even the strong
est opponents felt an awe of the bic
Blue team long before the game began.
Myron Fuller was guard on that
team of Captain Days which made
such a comeback after losing the
Brown game. o to 81. and defeated
Princeton the next week. He has been
coaching ever since, being assistant
coach of that West Virginia team
with Rogers as fullback that gave
Roper's Tiger eleven such a trounc-
ing.
Jack Owsley was one Of the best
defensive backs Yale ever had and was
coach of Tom Shevlin's successful
team. Stub" Chamberlain was both
center and tackle and captain and
for two years has assisted in the
coaching at New Haven. Comerford
was a star end and has been coaching
ends for two years. Ralph Jordan
was a back who last year, by sheer
ne-plunging ability, broke through
both the Harvard and Princeton lines
for good gains. II he can impart that
terrific impact to this years backfield

holes in opposing lines.
Bull Played Long Ago.
Billy Bull was n back on Yale
teams no less than 80 years ago and
yet his coaching and scouting has kept
him up to date with the play of Yale

ATLANTA PARK BURNS
Spectacular Blaze at Ball Field Does
$4,000 Damage.

Atlanta, Ga. Sept. S.-The At
lanta and Chattanooga teams of the
Southern Association played their
Saturday double-header on Grant
Field, the athletic field of George
Tech University, as a result of the
Saturday morning fire which destroy
ed Ponce de Leon park, the base
ball plant of the local club.
The spectacular fire, which did APP
proximately $4,000 damage to grand
stands, bleachers and clubhouse, may
be fatal TO Bill Stickney, the club
secretary, who was asleep in the
clubhouse and was rescued by fire
men only after serious burns about
the body and legs.

ward and Princeton. He is a coach OF
kickers and, in addition, handles the
second and scrub elevens. He can put
on play used by opponents with his
pupils more quickly than any other
man in the country.
Thus it will be seen that Yale COW
ers in her coaching staff the entire
stretch of years from 1885, when Billy
Bull played, to 1922. when Jordan
performed. In Chamberlain she has
an old center and tackle. in Fuller an
old guard. in Comerford an old end.
in Jones an old quarter. in Owsley an
old halfback and in Bull an old back
and kicker. Rather complete list
when one comes to study it over.

New York, Sept. s.-Stung by the
ineffectiveness of her football teams
in the last few years, Yale this year
is lending every effort to turn pc
tential success into reality. To this
end the coaching staff has been aug
mented by a number Of men of the
highest caliber who are counted on 10
work out a plan of campaign and
secure a definiteness of coaching that
shall count not only for distances
made in mid-field but for the final
drive that will convert midfield yard
age into touchdowns.
Burr Chamberlain, who was form
erly q Yale captain and center, has
been called back to join the resident
staff Of coaches. Jack Owsley, for
merly a remarkable defensive player
who also has coached. is another ad.
dition. Ralph Jordan, last years
captain and powerful line plunger,
also has been added to the number.
Meanwhile, Myron Fuller. the "old
guard" who has coached in many
places since his graduation and who
coached the Yale line last year, will
be retained, as will Comerford the
end coach of 1922, and Billy Bull
who carried on the double task Of
coaching the kickers and handling
the second and scrub" elevens. Thus
it will be seen that every aid is be
ing planned for Head Coach Tao
Jones.
Death OF Mack Loss.
The loss to Yale and especially I,
the football team this fall that come
through the death Of that veteran
trainer and conditioner of men, John

Meantime, the material which Cap

The Slighted Christmas Spirit

Think of the souls who really need,
Worthy of all friend can give,
Think of the souls who strive indeed,
Humble and harmless and strain to
live,
These are the ones who need surprise,
While the high lords" are feasting
with theirs,
These have their bit of bread and
prayers,
And are the souls who need.
So many able pass the poor by,
Give to their rich expecting return;
So many cheerful, while the poor cry,
Choked up with sorrow, hearts in
them burn,
Barefooted, hungry, house without
fire;
These are the worthy, the rich could
inspire,
Yearly they pass them by. \
