the previous year, was not eligible. He had played outlaw ball and was sus- pended. Strouthers told Cobb to play the outfield. If the player was not re- instated by opening day he would use Cobb in the regulars place.
 Tvs First Opening Day
 Opening day arrived-April 26, 1904. The regular outfielder had not been re- instated. And the name of Cobb that afternoon appeared in the lineup and batting order of a professional base ball team for the first time.
 The scene of Cobb's professional debut still stands in Augusta as that city's baseball park. Across the street lies cemetery and at 8 in the afternoon the yells of the Augusta fans, the cries of joy, the hoots and misses, often min gle with the sobs of the mourners at an open grave across the street.
 Here, on that April day, Augusta fans witnessed the entrance into the professional game of baseballs greatest performer. Augusta was playing Co., lumbia, S. c. The new recruit, playing the outfield, did well. He made two hits, one a two-bagger and the other a home run. But his good hitting did not prevent Augusta from losing, for victory went to Columbia that day by a score of to z.
 Cobb was back in the lineup the next afternoon. He did not do so well at bat but still he did not go hitless. He made single. Augusta won the game.
 Cobb Is Fired
 Strouthers walked over to Cobb in the clubhouse that evening. He asked him to see him in his office the next morning.
 Cobb, believing he was to be rendered contract with a good salary, eagerly went to Strouthers' office the next morning, Strouthers arrived some time later and Cobb followed him into the office. Without waiting to ask Cobb to be seated Strouthers informed him:
 You're released"
 Cobb was stunned. A moment later he blurted out:
 You mean I'm let out here? You're letting me go:"
 "Yes," replied Strouthers, "I'm let. ting you go. You're a free agent. can't use you. My regular outfielder

AUBURN, Ala, Nov. 5.-(Special) Coach Pitts sent the Auburn Piainsmen through a grilling formation drill Eues- day afternoon that ended only when the darkness made it impossiplc ior further progress to be made in the arive for the meeting with the Tulane Green Wave at Cramton Bowl Saturday arter- noon. The Tigers took it easy Monday after noon and did not don the scrapping araphenalia. Instead of the usual Mon- day afternoon muscle loosening work out the squad reported only for short skull practice, During this meet Coach Pitts went into detail to point out the shortcomings in last Saturday s game and offering remedies.

Sitz and Harkins registered at the conditioning headquarters' for treatment of minor bruises sustained in the Vandy clash. They appeared in uniform Tues day and while the two husky linemen were not used extensively they were in uniform which blostered the hopes that 
 they may come around for service against the Shaughnessy eleven on the | week end.

ALABAMA FIVE
 OPENS PRACTICE
Crimson Basketball Team Gets Under Way For
 Season Grind

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Nov. D. Especial. .)-Basketba practice at the University of Alabama started here to- night when Coach "Hustling Hank Crisp, who last year piloted the Grim sons to the finals in the s. c. tourna- ment in Atlanta, started the cagesters at work.
 Rather early for basketball, some say, especially with the football eleven at Alabama holding the center of the stage along with Georgia. But the reason IS plainly seen-many members ot the crack quintet of last year is sadly miss ing from the Capstone.
 McGauly, Salmon, Anderson Gone
 Lost without doubt are Emmett Nc Gauly, regular forward for four years Farley Salmon and Tom Anderson, subs respectively at guard and forward. There also exist some doubt as to whether Captain Lennie Carter will be able to play this year.
 Therein hangs the tale. As those who saw Garter play last year know the Crimson quintet was one team with him in and an entirely different cage aggregation with the giantic Swede out And if he is forced to let basketball slip by this year, the Crimsons are to be hard pressed for a capable man to fill his shoes. They don't enter college ey- cry year like "Slim"-an inspiring lead CT. a good shot and tall and shifty.
 Three Star Veterans
 Passing Garter by for the moment Coach Crisp has three regulars in Ben Hudson, Graham McClintock and Yer
 ct McClintock and Stabler, guard and for ward. This is Hudson's second year and it is believed that he will be better than ever. McClintock is apt to be shifted from running guard to a for ward, as he shoots pretty and is great man at fighting under the basket. Stab Ter may be shifted to center, if Carter fails to return.
 Other letter men in the fold are Shorty" Propst and Andy Cohen Propst is hard fighter, is fair shot and may be used at center. Cohen IS speedy and can shoot well. Then chances of playing regular are quite good. In addition, three reserves of last year may come through-McGauly Wharton and Macdonald
 Chadwick Good
 From the freshmen team will come four men who seek berth. The bes, shot of the lot is Tom Chadwick. From any angle, the youngster is good. This however, is offset some by his liking fol individual play, which will, naturally be taken out if he plays regular. Mike Denny, son of the president of the uni yersity; Holmes and Kaminsky are th' others who will fight hard for berth Several other aspirants for the tean may be counted from stars of the dlt ferent teams in the inter-fraternltI league. Whether their speed is fas enough for varsity play is to be seen
 The 'Bama schedule for the seasol has not been announced yet, but 1t vii! in all probability, include games wltl the most prominent quintets in Dixie

UNIVERSITY, Ala, No. 5.-(Spe- [ cial)-Crimson Tide members are loaf ing their last few days of practice here Thursday and Friday so as to be in the best of condition for their game here Saturday against the Kentucky Wild cats.
 The Wildcats are expected to reach i Tuscaloosa some time Friday and will t rrobably practice on Denndy field dur l ing the day. Every avilable reserve on the Kentucky team is being brought l along. it is reported, and the Ken tuckians are vending their way to !us- | caloosa in a determined effort to defeat the 'Bama eleven.
 Have Won And Lost
 Alabama and Kentucky have played the past two years, once in the Blue Grass country and once here at Denny field. The game in Lexington was nlayed under adverse conditions and re- suited in 60 defeat by kentucky That was the last year of the late Aen Scott's regime. Last year the Tides men won a well-played ana spectacuiaf game at Denny field.
 This year will break the tie. The game will not only settle that differ ence. but it can also throw Alabama from her top position in southern foot hall. if she loses. There's lots to lose, and for that reason the Crimson grid ders are going to fight hard, to keep victory on her side and at the same time keep her goal line uncrossed.
 'Bama Reserves Strong
 With every man on the squad able to play. Coach Wade will have his regular eleven to start with and plenty of re- serves to shoot into position, if he needs them. Alabama has ample reserves, as she has shown several times this year, and this one feature has aided in placing her at the top in Dixie.
 A backfield composed of Captain Hubert, Gillis, Whitaker and fourth man from Barnes, Rosenfeld, Brown and Johnston will, in all probability, start. Little Rosenfeld, Brown and Johnston have all been scintallatlng brightly in past games, and Barnes mas been showing worlds of stuff on defen- sive play. There's little use to say that Captain Hubert has lost none Of hls effectiveness at bucking line of run ming a team, and Gillis and Whitaker are both going strong.

The line will average almost as 'Bama from end to end. The backfield includes Tracy, Hughes and Sanders-three neat backs.
 From the looks of reservations pour ing in to Capstone headquarters, the campus will be one lively place Satur- day, with alumni of all past classes pres ent for Home Coming Day. More re- reserve requests are pouring in every day, and the crowd that is expected to see the game Saturday will easily reach 12,OOO people, 1t is conservatively esti- mated.

PICKENS TEAW'S
 RECORD CLEAR

REFORM, Ala, Nov. Especially With five consecutive victories and no defeats Pickens County High football squad settled down to another week Of practice, getting in form for the battle with the highly touted Noxapater, Miss, High team here Friday, Novem- Der z on Graham field in the sixth game of the season. The Red and Black Warriors have registered 90 first downs against the five fallen victims while they have been able to count A against the locals. These five triumphs include 143 points for the Tigers of Fickens with 31 points recorded to the opponents.
 The chances for Pickens frightened with the return of Mayors, varsity linesman and Wilson, veteran gridder. Mayors has been out of school during the past week on account of his broth er's death, failing to get in the long view-Pickens game last Friday, while Wilson has been out two weeks. Coach Jackson had been saving hiR for the Tuscaloosa game, having the handicap of a week knee, but he was gassed a week before the battle with the Black Bears and is just now rounding into shape to return for practice.

RICHARD PLANS MIXED CONTEST Gibbons Slated To Box Kid Norfolk In
 Garden
By ROBERT D. LUsK
(Leased Wire To The Age-HeraId.


 NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-When Tex Rickard recently announced that he had discovered a brand-new number to try out on the cash registers of Madison Square Garden in the hope of bringing forth a swell of music to break up a dull season, it was given out that the piece was to be a catchy little number entitled Mixed Weights"
 But Rickard announced Wednesday that the air had been revamped and that it was not only to be a mixing of weights, but a mixing of color, a thing never before tried out in the garden. To make the mixture even more com plicated he has picked Tommy Gibbons, St. Paul heavyweight, who has never before met any thing in the colored line, and Kid Norfolk, negro light hea- vyweight champion, to put it oven. The night selected for the premier is De cember 8. On that night Gibbons will fight Norfolk 15 rounds to a decision and if that doesn't jazz up the fight business around the metropolis, Rickard has other tricks up his sleeve.
 For Sweet Charity
 The excuse for the bout is Mrs. Will liam Randolph Hearst's Christmas fund. A part of the proceeds will gc to that worthy charity and a bit of the rest will go to the fighter and then z small charge connected with Rickard't furnishing the hall, the light, beat ant so forth.
 It is hoped that bout of this kint will bring forth a groan from the turn styles and the fans may even come tt life long enough to contribute toward future bouts in a revival of the cauli flower trade.
 It will be Gibbons first appearance since his financially disastrous venture into the battling game at Wembly, Eng land, where he knocked out Jacl Bloomfield only to find that the pro ceeds had been misplaced and that ht would either have to work his way bacl home on a cattle boat or bo1row somt on his future chances in the ring-Asidt from his little escapade on the other side of the Atlantic, Gibbons has not met any real material since the day 1T | Shelby, Mont, when he held off JacE Dempsey for 15 rounds.
 Norfolk A Contender
 Kid Norfolk has been known fol some time as one of the leading negro fighters in the game. To say that he i! in Gibbons class would be slightly libel ous. He has always fought in rougl and ready fashion and has never takeI up the game as a science, but tha rather heightens the attraction, for tn mixing of science and rough-house is al ways good fare in New York.

MICHIGAN PLAYS
 NORTHWESTERN
Wolverines Encounter Tough
 Opponent In Saturday Foe

ANN ARBOR, Nov. 5.-(Special. J. Michigan's clean-cut 13-O victory over Minnesota and Northwestern's 17-7 win from Indiana have given ticket sales for the Wolverine-P Purple next Saturday decided impetus.
 It is question whether Captain Herb. Steger will get in the North western game. Steger, who played quar- ter for the first time in his entire football career, is not rounding into shape as rapidly as was hoped. He did not even appear in uniform for the Minnesota battle.
 Babcock, Michigan right tackle, who was injured at Minneapolis, is expected back at his old position Saturday.
 But Michigan is riding high. If the Wolverines can take another win Satur- day in spite of Ralph Baker and his two ex-Wolverine coaches, fans predict that the Michigan 1924 record will bear but a single blemish.

CATS AND CRIMSONS
 PREPARE FOR GAME
Kentucky Will Hold Out Tracy, Speed King, Will Rosenfeld, 'Bama Flash, May Not Start

LEXINGTON, Ky, Nov. 5.-(Spe cial., l.,-Kentucky's Wildcats, which make their annual invasion of Alabama this coming Saturday, has not the team it had last season, but nevertheless is a stout, contender in Southern con ference football, though they cannot ac' tually win the title, having been beaten
 The Wildcats standing in the con ference is one and one. They lost to Washington and Lee, 10 to z, and de. feated Sewanee, to 0. Kentucky could have defeated the Tigers by another touchdown, but played a defensive game. Alabama could only win from Sewanee, IA to O, and might find a tough nut to crack in Kentucky.
 Coach Fred J. Murphy has been trou bled with his line all season and has yet not got the n.en into playing their positions right. He has the beef and brawn in the front rank and the men are hard workers, but woefully lacking in experience.
 Veteran Backs
 Kentucky's backfield is composed of bunch of veterans, led by Captain Sanders, who is rated as one of the best plungers and defensive men in the south. Southern experts placed him second only to Wycoff of Georgia Tech, after the game between the Wild cats and the Tornado last season. This game ended in a tie.
 Gregg runs the team at quarterback, but shift may be made for the com ing game. Hughes has been made the signal caller and Kirwan has moved back from end to halfback position, his natural place. Frank Smith is the other halfback and is the punter. Tracey, who stirred Alabama home-co :ng fans last season with a sensational 66-yard run, is held in reserve. He is frail youth and the fastest man in southern football. He finished third in the Southern conference 100-yard event this spring.
 Harbold At End
 If Kirwan is in the backfield, Har- bold, a youngster, will take the left flank while Ken King will hold down the right wing. The tackles are Rice and Portwood. The latter is playing his first year on the varsity. The center of the line averages POT pounds with Montgomery, tipping the scales at 22O at left guard; Sauer, POO, is at cen ter, while Van Meter, POP, is the other guard.
 Kentucky used straight football in it's first games of the season, but after the Sewanee game, changed its entire style of attack and now employs de- ception to marked degree. The plays are general and no particular formation is stressed. Passing has been practiced to large extent and the Wildcats may attempt to beat Alabama via the over- head route.
