ST. LOUIS, Sept 19.-By hitting six of the Browns pitchers freely and taking advantage of four errors, Wash ington took today's game. 15 to 9, and thus regained the undisputed lead of the American league, due to the Yankees defeat by Detroit.
 The Senators started the game in hard-hitting fashion, batting Davis and Nangilder from the box before the side was retired in the opening inning. Four tene men faced the three Browns pitch CTS of this inning, in which the Sena- tors scored nine runs. Two singles by McNelly. one each by Goslin, Rice Harris and Judge, a double by Peckin- paugh two passes, hit batsman and McManus' bad throw to the plate gave the Senators a commanding lead of nine runs in the opening inning.

 The Browns counted four of their runs in the fourth inning, when Mo gridge was driven from the box and relieved by Marberry.

RIMSONS PLAY
 SATURDAY
Alabama To Stage First Regular Practice Game
 Of The Year

UNIVERSITY. Ala, Sept l9.- Freshmen and varsity of the Univer- sity of Alabama will meet in regular practice game at 8 o'clock Saturday afternoon at Denny field, Coach Wal lace Wade announced today.
 Scrimmage has been undertaken twice this week between the Baby Grim sons and the Crimson Tide, each such affair resulting in an overwhelming defeat for the yearlings.
 Thursdays affair was merely a track meet for the varsity, with Dave Rosen- field, Gillis, Caldwell and Brown run ming wild on well executed plays.
 Large Casualty List The casualty list of the Crimsons con tinues to increase. Collier an ex-Fresh- man end, has left the Capstone. Jimmy Johnston, 175 pound scrub of last year, will be out for three weeks. Hulett Whitaker is still playing around with an injured shoulder. Salmon was ab- sent from practice because of a wrenched muscle Oliver, Langhorne and Jones were confined to their beds with a touch of sickness. All these men may be back to practice in a few days-and some may not be back for a few weeks.

 BULLDOGS SATURDAY
Harris Cope On Sick Bed, Says Victory Quickest
 Way To Recovery

men can be relied upon, it is thought, but Shepherd, at end, and Casey, at fullback, are something of experiments Shepherd has been baptised under fire in three previous years of reserve serv- ice, and 1t is thought that he can come through all right. Casey, with not one whit of previous experience, excepting a brilliant showing in spring training last year, is being started at fullback by Gillem. Casey's success depends upon his coolness, it is thought, as the big fellow is said to have unlimited drive through the line.,
 Line Is Strong
 The Bulldog line, in early seasv. showing, appears to be the same oe stone wall, with Spicer, Kelly, Stubbs, Brooks and Claude Brewster slashing through from the middle of the line. Goose Williams, letter end of last sea son, will probably hold down right end. Slick" Lollar, who seems slated for a regular terminal berth, will probably not be able to play this afternoon, as he sustained an injury to a knee in prac- tice this week.
 The backfield is expected to be the main worry of the Bulldogs. Captain Stevens will call signals today, with Mccarthy and Scokel running at the halves. Mac is plunger, and Scokel is adept at open field work. Casey, es- sentially plunger, is expected to come through with yardage this afternoon. Russell Tinklepaughi starting his third year as a varsity quarterback, will be ready for instant service either as signal caller or back.
 Game At O'Clock
 Marion and Howard-meeting in the first game of the season for Birming- ham-start their struggle at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Berry field. with a 1000 new seats in recently con- structed bleacher section, is ready to accommodate crowd of two or three thousand people.
 Coach Gillem stated Friday night that all Jefferson county high school squads, of not more than IS men, &C., companied by their coaches, will be ad- mitted to the Marion Howard game this afternoon. free of charge.
 A prep meeting was staged in the college auditorium Friday night. An air. of tension hung over the place, as realization that Coach Cope's illness demanded victory impressed itself upon Bulldogs and their followers.

SHIFTS GRID SCHEDULE Gators Are Pointing To Georgia Tech On
 October II

GAINESVILLE, Fla, Sept. 19.- Especial. .)-Athletic Director James l.. White announced Friday afternoon that the University of Florida varsity foot ball schedule had been shifted, the Gator gridders meeting the Florida Freshman eleven on October 4, in place of the Stetson Hatters as had been previously announced.
 The reason for the change in sched- ule and the elimination of the Stetson eleven from the Gator pigskin cam paign is that the Stetson athletic au- thorities have refused to sign the Flor ida State College and University asso- citation rules, agreed upon last spring by representatives of the Florida col leges and universities. The University of Florida is sponsoring the playing under the collegiate amateur rules. It is the intention of the Gator athletic authorities to do evrything in their power to further amateur college ath- letics in the state of Florida. Under the present booking the Orange and Blue eleven is scheduled to meet the Gator rat team on two separate occa- sions, September 27 and October 4,
 Plays Tech.
 On October II, the Florida eleven will journey to Atlanta to face the Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech in the first college grid clash for the Gator aggregation. The Florida team entering this game will face an enemy who has already fought stiff college football team namely, the Oglethorpe Petrels. Whether the Gators will suf fer in their initial contest due to it beEng their first engagement of the season remains to be seen. Over on the Gator freshman field, Coach Cow ell has an entirely different story to related. At the present time he has some nine different elevens working out and he intimated today that the baby Gators were in great shaps and that they had several surprises for their big brothers.

PRACTICE
 FOR GOLF MEET
MarstOn And Jones Beat BritOns
 Best In Round

RION CRICKE CLUB, SOUTH ARDMORE, Pa, Sept. 19.- Prowling over the dips and hummocks of one of the oldest sporting fields on the American continent Friday after noon, the corps d'elite of amateur golf reconnoitered the positions of Colonel Bogey, the guy they have to beat in the national amateur golf tournament which begins with the first chirp of the lark Saturday morning. It was the last practice.
 Seven members of the force which will attack over this treacherous golf landscape withdrew from the army on the eve of the combat, but five other volunteers for the terrible campaign reported belatedly with full kits of weapons and were enrolled for the war
 Those Who Withdrew
 Reggie Lewis, New York; Harrison Johnston, St. Paul; Reggie Worthing ton, Shawnee; Jim Kennedy, Tulsa, Okla; Charles Black, Atlanta; Fred of Montreal, were the players who withdrew.
 The recruits, all of whom were ac- cepted, were: Eddie Lowrey, Boston i; Frazer Hale and k. McDougall of Chi cago; r. B. Giddes, New York, and Chester Maxwell. of Trenton, N. J. i Those developments necessitated a slight encouragement of the pairings for the qualifying rounds, of which there will be two, the first one Saturday the other on Monday.
 MarstOn and Jones Win
 Max Marston and Bobby Jones, the incumbent and defending amateur champion. and the late open champion respectively, were the starred pair in the practice round Friday afternoon They played in a foursome against Cyril Tolley and Major Hezlet, of the Brit ish legion, pair of golfers scarcely less able than themselves, but not as highly regarded by the American fol lowers of the sport, who haven't had much chance to see them ill action. Marston and Jones beat the Britons and ? at IS holes and Bobby made the inward journey in 33, which was one swipe under par.
 The members of the Merion club will tell you and the rest of the world that 1 their clubs playing campus, wide spread of real estate containing many snares for the unwary golfer, is one of the oldest in the land. It dates from the time when Abner Doubleday, one of the earliest baseball players, was going abroad trying to make people listen to his explanations of the strange new game. Cricket, the English game. was the principal athletic habit of ] Americans when the Merion club was 1 founded, and the game is still played pretty well by a stubborn local ele- ment who inherited it from their grand pas.
 S5 Years Old
 The Merton club took up golf about 35 years ago.
 Among the entrants in the national amateur, Bobby Jones, who first be- came famous on this course eight years back when he was still a grammar school boy, and Findlay Douglas, will be contrasting characters. Douglas won the national amateur title 26 years ago. several years before Bobby Jones was born.

Paschal Hits Three Times Safely But His Team

DETROIT, Sept. 19.-A smashing finish that drove Sam Jones from the box in the eighth and brought the win ming run home in the ninth on a single off Hoyt resulted in the defeat of the New York Yankees, 6 to 5, today by Detroit. The defeat dropped New York into second place.
 With the score tied, Cobb started the winning rally in the last of the ninth. He went all the way to third when Dugan overthrow first base. Heilmann and Rigney were purposely passed and then Haney, who entered the game in the eighth to run for Pratt, singled Cobb home with the deciding counter.
 Cobb made one hit bringing his sea sons total to 199. He needs one more to break the record he now holds jointly with Willie Keeler of having made 200 or more hits in eight seasons. The

MANDY WILL HAVE
 TWO SUPERB ENDS
Bomar, Wakefield And McKibbon To Play Big
 Part On McGugin Eleven

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. S3- Special al.)-Vanderbil will have this season two of the greatest ends ever boasted at one time by any gridiron team in America. On the right flank is the enormous Bomar, Camps All American pack for 1923. On the other wing is Hek Wakefield. characterized by Fielding Yost as the most perfect end he had seen over a period of 10 years, and picked by Frank Menke and several mid-western experts for an All American berth. Bomar was unanimous All-Southern selection and Wakefield won such honors by a wide margin in 90 selections.
 This season, Wakefield will share end duties with Fred McKibbon. Due to the loss of veteran quarter, Wake field will be used in that position on the offense and will be back as de- fensive end. He played in the back field last year on the offense because of his speed and fine blocking. His new duties will not be unfamiliar and in the dual role he won his glory last season.
 45O Pounds on Flanks
 On the offense, Vanderbilt will have 450 pounds of brawn and speed on the Hanks. Both Bomar and McKibbon tip the scales close around 225 pounds apiece and are rated among the fastest men on the team. Both are fine pass CTS and under the McGugin system will play a major part in backfield duties on the offense. McGugin's ends are invariably persatile performers and spend about equal time on the Hanks ana in the backfield on the offense. Bomar is fine pass receiver because of his height and weight and is like wise a super-excellent interference runner because of his speed and his steel-chilled blocking tactics. He lead the brilliant Reese in all his great dashes last year.
 McKibbon stands feet i inches tall and boasts a pair of the most enor- nous hands in existence. He passes football much as star pitcher would hurl a baseball. His tossers are high and true and when Bomar is receiving them will be on foot level, thus re. quiring big men to break them down or intercept them on their course. Me. Ribbon is also a fierce defensive player and will aid Bomar in backing up the line this season. He will also be used in the plunging role in the backfielC when alternating with Wakefield anC Bomar behind the line on the offense. i excellent Line
 Along with the superb pair of ends the Commodores will have an excellent line throughout. Only one inexper. fenced man is needed to complete the forward wall that proved impregnaDle last season. Rives and Walker at the tackle berths will average about 2OC pounds between them and have veteran experience from last year. Rives was All-Southern tackle in the composite lists last season. Captain Kelly, an. other All-Southern star, will lead the team from guard berth this season He is the lightest man in the line with only 175 pounds but under the Me. Gugin system light guard is always required to lead the interference and play a rowing game. Kelly makes up
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-20

in aggrestiveness and speed for all he lacks in weight.
 After the Michigan game last sea- son. the referee called Kelly to him and told Eim that he was the girst grid performer that he had ever compli- mented after game in which he had officiated.
 Perfect Guard"
 You are the most perfect guard I ever saw in action. I have never seen a linesman play a greater game than you played against Michigan today" stated the veteran official Kelly is a wizard in diagnosing opposition plans and shifts his line to suit the occasion from time to time. The fight for the other guard berth is between Lawrence and Bryan, both 1923 veterans, that weigh around 200 pounds each. Jess Keen, big 197 pound battler, from last years Frosh squad, has practically clinched the snapper-back role because of his aggressiveness and football spirit. He is a defensive giant also.
 Behind this great array of linesmen, the Vandy backfield will be light and fast as greased lightning. Their plan of attack will be centered around the fleet heels of Gil Reese. The air at tack will be varied and heavy plung- ing work will be done by Ryan and McKibbon. neither of which are fin ished fullbacks, but possesses power and weight to high degree
 In Fine Shape
 The team is in excellent shape after two weeks of heavy practice in the se- clusion of their camp at Ashland City, Tenn. The camp is located six miles from the nearest telephone and commu- nication is practically cut off with the outside world. Little but football is possible at the camp and the entire squad has lived the game day in and day out. Heavy scrimmage work and long signal drills are the daily routine.

SNAKE IS KILLED
 BY AUGUSTA GOLFER

AUGUSTA, Ga, Sept. 19.-Local golfers have killed wild birds and pigeons with their mighty drives, and it is even said that innocent bystanders have been knocked silly by ill-guided balls, but it remained for Morton Jones, automobile dealer, to set new record in this line. Playing golf yes >terday with Judge J. C. c. Black, Hugh H., Saxon and Milledge Lockhart, Mir. Jones sliced his ball on the twelfth tee and when the elusive pill was found be- hind a shallow declivity, it was ly- ing close beside a diamond-black rat tlesnake which was in the throes of death.
 The snake measured three feet and had two rattles.
