grounds.
BARRIERS Hit Wins
Memphis won today by virtue OF a
long drive by Barber, Chick outfielder,
to right for three bases which sent An
derson, who had walked, across the
plate in the sixth, but the run-making
as a whole on both sides was due to a
mixture of timely hitting, errors and
wildness, with Fort Worth having the
added misfortune of losing the services,

right-hander, whose pitching hand was
injured in attemptingtsto stop, line

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 1.-(Spe-
cial.) = Birmingham -Southern's fine
showing against Auburn and Wander
bilt's relatively weak attack on the Hen
derson- Brown Reddies last Saturday has
instilled something of fear of their hon
ors in the Commodore coaches and play
ers this week. 49,
The keynote of the weeks work will
be "drive, drive, drive" The backfield
failed to show the punch that is needed
to smash through strong opposition. The
interference was not driving ahead of
the backs, the line was being out
charged on the offense repeatedly, the
disappointing showing may be attributed
almost wholly to that lack of drive.
BackfieId Revamped
The backfield has been reyamped and
will start against the Panthers Satur-
day with the alterations that look bet
ter for the team. mig" Waller, for
mer all-Alabama quarter from Bessemer,
will be at quarter with Reese and Wake
field at halves and Ryan at full. Waller
is fine passer and fast man on his
feet He will likely get the Quarter
back assignment as a regular job from
this time forward.
There's little worry about the Van
derbilt defense against the Panther at
tack. That powerful forward wall
STAYED off, the south's strongest attacks
last season and are retained intact this
season with some added strength. The
Reddies gained only 10 yards from
scrimmage Saturday and lost some "A
yards following those gains. A Reddie
back once ran yards off tackle but
on the next two plays had been thrown
back 10 yards. On another occasion
the Reddies were tossed for IL yards
loss on three plays. -.
Wakefield Regain Ends
With Wakefield and Ryan at ends.
Rives and Keen at tackles, Walker and
Lawrence at guards and Captain Kelly
at center, the forward wall is almost inn
pregnable. BOmar backs up the line
and Fred McKibbon with his 215 pounds
plays just short of Bomar on the de-
tense.
Lewie Hardage took last weekend
for, visit to his Alabama home. Incl
dentally he stopped over in Birming-
ham and saw the Panthers and Auburn
in action. McGugin was regretting the
fact that he didn't have the Panthers
secuted after hearing the Auburn mar
gin of victory. Lewie turned up Mon
day morning with information that he
had merely dropped out to see the game
but soon realized that scouting might be
to advantage, so stiff was the fight.
Teams Scrimmage
The overhead game is expected t.
prove real threat for the remainder
of the season with Waller developing
as fine passer and. with Bomar ant
McKibbon to do the bulk of long pass
7 ling and deception work. BOmar and
McKibbon are both able to pass neal
60 yards with accuracy but haven't the
knack of tossing the short running shots
as has Waller. Both are fine pass re-
ceivers and will be used extensively in
this line of endeavor. saS

SIMPSON, PLAYS
CULLMAN SQUAD
.Shirey's Eleven Meets
Tornado At Munger
Bowl Friday

Simpsons Purple Tornado eleven
will open its season against a tough
opponent Friday afternoon at 2 :3O
o'clock when it clashes with John Bar
sleycorn" Shirey's Cullman team The
game will be played on Munger Bowl.
One Birmingham combination has
already faced the Shirley clan and has
been subdued. When Doc Newton g
strong Jones Valley Brownies went
over to Cullman last Friday and were
whipped Z to 0 in their opening game,
they returned to Birmingham well
pleased with their showing in the face
Of such opposition as was accorded
them by the Cullman team.
Points For Game
So Coach ''sSIim" Neese Of the Tor
nado team, is. grooming his men care
fully for the game. With an very
light team, which viii not average
over $50 pounds, and on the .lmgosi
part a green team, the Simpson men
tor is figuring on playing against big
odds. ri
While the Simpson team lost heay'
,ily with graduation last year the Gull
man eleven was practically unbroken,
The entire backfield returned this year
and most of the hnesmen. Coach Neese
has had to restock his depleted squad
with graduates from the Simpson Mid
gets, the Baby Tornado of last year
and from new material.
Working. Hard
The Tornado elevens, two of them
have been pitted against each other
daily on city park at Owenton getting
into shape for the game. Fridays
starting lineup will include three letter
men and probably four subs from last
years team.
At the flank positions will likely be
"Chink' Lott of last years Wood
lawn squad, and Brown, from the Mid
gets, or Douglas, from Ensley. The
positions at tackle will be played by
dude" Hickman, letter man from last
year, and Capt Russell Malloy, anoth
er letter man. At guards will be found
Grissom, a sub on last years eleven
and Tyler, also substitute on the 2;
Tornado. The pivot position will b.
played by Lewis, letter man.
ST.. New Bachfie-
Stewart, who graduated from thu
Midget eleven, viii be delegated to cal
signals while Albert Vincent and Rob
erts. both last yeaE's subs. win pla!
at the halves. Johnson will play full
back.
The Tornado backfield boasts o.
two triple threat men and the pass
ing plays may be run with either o.
these men at the starting end. TIT
punting will probably be done by John
son, who shows much ability at boot
ing the ball, although as yet he ha'
acquired no polish in his kicking. AL
ert Vincent is also doing quite a BIZ
of punting. q.
The Tornado is making no bone
about getting under way and aftel
tackling the tough Cullman crew Fri

her life to see her sen, he idol OF all
fans, pitch the flrst big league game OF
baseball she ever saw.
When the crowd goes. crazy next Sat
urday afternoon, as Walter johnson
steps into the box against the New

thrill of one woman in the stands, Mrs.
Frank e. johnson, his mother.
She arrived here Tuesday, after a
long. arduous Zip from her home in
Coffeyyille. = In the role of grand
mother, she spent her first afternoon
in the capital taking care of Walters
two youngest children, while her son
and his wife were DOWNTOWN.
Biggest Moment
IT will be the biggest moment in the
career of the big highlander, to pitch

walter was always a model boy,
she said. Hes as good as they make

everybody I've met how proud they are

would pick a quarrel with anybody: In

She recalled his earlier baseball ca.

when Walter was a yOungster that he
would ever take up baseball as a pro
