FINLEY ACCEPTS

After Long Rest, Jimmy To Be In Fighting

Matchmaker Evans of the Birming. ham Athletic club Monday was. reef pient of a letter from Jimmy Finley who meets Young Jack Dillon in a 10 rounder at the club Monday night Finley waxes eloquent over the train ing system he has adopted, and seemt to think that Nby a needed rest he will be able to knock Young Jack for row of cabbages.

II wouldn't be surprised if didn't hand the old kayo wallop to this Dillon. can certainly say that he won't have the pleasure of boasting of a draw with me as was the case after our first meeting.

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Sept. 29.- Especial. )-With Union tucked safely away, the Crimson Tide started Mon day afternoon another week of training that will carry them to the Furman clash in Greenville, s. O., this coming Saturday. !, Wade sent his Crimsons through a limbering up process, following their track event of Saturday. The team ran signals part of the afternoon, engaged in sharp bunting duels and much pass- ing.
 The scoring of seven touchdowns and the brilliant runs of certain backs were not half so pleasing as the fact that 'Bama's backs aided each other in nak- ing these runs by brushing away tack lers and blocking others. It was not 9 question Saturday of the ability of onS fleet man, but the pretty cooperation of all to enable him to get away.
 Every Man Used /
 Wade used, practically every man on the squad for part of period at least against Union. The team seemed all ways as strong as before despite the substitutions. If Union had been just the least bit stronger and had been able to furnish stiffer opposition, Wade and his assistants would have been well able to have detected faults of the Crimsons.

 PLEASE ALL HACKERS
Tide Displays Fine Offensive In Opening Game
 With Brown Leading Attack

Pinkie McClintock and Here Cald- we'll performed neatly 1t their flank positions Saturday. Both rather new to their berths, it is not likely that they will make Capstoners forget Newton and Clemens soon. They will, however. show as great fighting spirit and will improve as the season goes on. And Johnston and Hudson will be back be- fore many more days pass by.
 Ends Look Better
 Alabama should not De troubled as much about her ends as people believe if any two of these four men come through as everyone expects them to. Of course, they all look good at this stage of the season against an eleven weak as Union. The real test will come Saturday and the following Saturdays. <, Mack Brown shone brilliantly Satur- day. The Dothan lad, who. was hailed as a conner last yer but who filed to live up to advance information, showed he was ready for the fastest of com pany this year by three runs that needed all the poise and finesss of a polished back to accomplish. Such swaying and change of pace and side stepping and what-not that the speedy back did Saturday will make him q marked man on Returning punts the rest of the season.
 Veterans Shine
 The veterans of last year played the game for what it was worth. A good tackle or hefty lunge by them failed to draw the applause of the crowd us the runs of Brown, Caldwell and Rosen- field did. But Langhorne, Buckler, Camp, Jones and Propst were in there always, in there as hard and as de- termined as they were last year when fighting under the shadow of their goal posts.
 Should Alabama's defense be as pow erfui as it was last year and her offense improve like wine with age, the Grim sons will live up to what dope has them, a contender for the Pickens trophy.
 'Bama's quartette of cheer-leaders got in action for thefrfirst time Saturday. "Slim" Carter and Ham Perkins are known to those who saw the Crimsons perform last yearj1 The newcomers will be known, Pete" Griffin because of his 325 pounds of 'bubbling weight, and Ma con because of his lusty yells.

NEW YORK FANS
 : BUYING TICKETS

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-With the certainty that he will be represented again in the world series, thousands of Father Knickerbocker's descendants are seeking tickets for three of the series games, which will be played here next week.
 Although this will be the fifth year in succession that he has been repre- sented in the classic, Father Knicker- booker is not blase. The race was close this year and drew all his attention.
 The Giants clinched the argument Saturday when they defeated the Phils, while the Boston Braves were obliging- ly showing down the Robins, chief ri- vals of the Giants. That gave the Giants their fourth consecutive pennant and made a new record for Manager John McGraw. Already holding the worlds championship for managers, by winning three consecutive flags, McGraw busted and replaced himself with Mo-. 4.

 The work of Harkins, a brother of Red Harkins at Auburn, at center and Hardy at tackle stood out for the Brownies in the line. Skews and Brill played good ball in the flank positions and are looking good this year. Wood also showed up well at guard. Edney Fox and Gardner starred in the lack field.
 The Brownies were outweighed by the Cullman eleven but proved stiff op' position for the locals.
 The Brownies play University high next Friday.

BOSTON, Sept. 29.-Washington won its first American league pennant by defeating the Red Sox here today 4 to 2 and earned the right to meet the Q, New York Giants in the world series, which is to open in Washington on Sat urday. When the last Boston player was out in the ninth and the victory of the Senators was assured, a crowd Of ten thousand Boston fans cheered the visiting team as it came from the field. Clark Griffith, the veteran owner, Stanley Harris, the Boy Man sger", and Walter@ Johnson, famous pitching ace, who will take part in his first world series after eighteen years in the big league, were applauded in turn.
 7 Fred Marberry, relief pitcher of the Senators, who held Boston scoreless for the last six innings today, will be named the hero of this deciding game. He has acted as relief pitcher in all three games played here in this series and has worked in fifty games for Washington this season. Left handler John Zachary was none too effective in the first three innings, but Mar berry stopped the Red Sox.
 Scores Early
 sWashington made its bid early for the victory that would give it the pen Hant regardless of what the New York Yankees do in their double header against Philadelphia tomorrow. In the first, with two out, Rice singled off Fullerton through short, stole second and went all the way home when 0'Neils wild throw caromed off Lees &love. In the second the Senators made two runs. Peck singled ana scored on singles by Duel and Zachary. Ruel scored from third on Liebold's s single to right. These three runs off Fullerton were enough as the events hroyed, but the Senators added a fourth off John Quinn in the eighth inning. Stanley Harris doubled against the left field fence and went home on a clean single by Rice.
 Boston had all its chances early in the game. Singles by Williams and Wamby let the former home in the first. Teach scored in the third. He singled, Boone was hit and Joe Harris bunted. Ezzell's harsh grounder off Zachary's glove let Veach score.
 Harris And Peck Star
 Throughout the game Peck and Stan- ley Harris played wonder ball. In the last half of the ninth with one out, Harris picked up Pinch hitter Clark's grounder, tagged second and with quick pivot and throw. almost without looking, got it to Judge in time to double up the batter and retire the side.
