Y. P.L. TO MEET
NORTH CAROLINA
Techmen Expect Tough
Battle In Old North
State Contest

BLACKSBURG, Va, Nov. 3.-(Spe-
cial)-The Virginia Tech Gobbler foot
ball eleven having completed an inva-
sion of South Carolina will move on
the Old North State next Saturday when
the Techmen hook up with North Caro-
lima State college in Raleigh. This
game for a number Of years has been
played in Norfolk but for various rea-
sons it was taken to the home OF the
Down Homers this year and from ali
reports the game will be one of the
drawing cards of the year in the capital
city. Reports from V. P. /. alumni
chapters throughout North and South
Carolina are to the effect that every
Tech man who can possible get there
will be on hand to root for the old
Orange and Maroon.
The Techmen have a wonderful team
this year. Coach Ben Cubbage started
out with rather blue prospects but by
hard work and continual stick-to-it
he has nodded one of the best machines
that has ever represented the institu-
ton. The Tech line is rather weighty
in spots with a fast flying backfleld'
The Gobblers are led this year by Cap
tain Sam Graham, the veteran left
tackle. Graham has been one of the
mainstays for the past three years and
takes the place of Captain Robert Baker
who was elected captain but failed to
return to college.
In the backfield the locals have the
fast stepping Artie Roberts, who is the
field general at quarter. Roberts, who
has been clicked in the South Atlantic
tracks meets at ten seconds on three
occasions, is a very heady back. Rob
erts has pus up wonderful exhibitions
of broken field running this year, espe-
cially against Auburn and Washington
and Lee.
The Gobblers have one of the best
kicking stars in the country in the per
son of Don Rutherford, Lefty halfback
Rutherford booted the ball over the
cross bar against Maryland few weeks
ago from the fifty-five-yard marx
which is the best drop kick recorded Sc
far this season and one of the longest
ever, made. The Gobblers are hard al
work this week preparing for the Down
Homers and will keep up scrimmage
work until Wednesday afternoon.

Editors Note:--This is the tenth Of a
series Of daily articles analysing the vote
by which the players Of the two big leagues
picked all-league teams. The vote was
taken for exclusive publication in this city
by The Age-Herald, the ballots being Sc
cured by the North American Newspaper
Alliance, of which this paper is a member
The players vote in the American
league showed decided trends of opinion
in every case until it. came to, the selec-
ton of catcher. When the count was
completed it was found that muddy"
Ruel of Washington and Johnny Bass
Ter of Detroit were tied for the lead in
first choice votek Ruel only won out
s after count Of second and third choice
The first choice count was:
Ruel, 40; Bassler, 40; Schang, New
York, 9; Wyatt, Cleveland, 8; Schalk,
Chicago, 2; Perkins, Philadelphia, q;
SEVERED, st. Louis 2.
Close Race 81
The count of the second choice bal
lots showed Ruel to have received 80
to Bassler's 30. Ruel got third-choice
votes and Bassler Z. Thus, by a mar
row margin, Ruel was decided to be the
American leagues premier receiver.
In passing it should be said that no
expert has selected the Washington
player as an all-American catcher.
Mathewson thought Bassler better man
while Babe Ruth chose Wally Schang.
The players, however, seem to- think
that RuePs handling of the Washington
pitchers. together with his general re-
ceiving and throwing to bases, entitle
him to the edge. The fact that despite
his size he worked in 149 games for the
Champion Senators also is taken into

leading lightweights, mentioned obove.
OF more recent history is Bill Bren-
nan, a popular heavyweight. He was
shot to death one Sunday morning in
his cafe in New York in brawl
with a gangster.
Battling Sikh, the coal black Senga-
lese and the most colorful, speaking lit
orally and figuratively, of all boxers
of recent years, has been in one scrape
after another and arrested number
of times for various law violations.
Baseball presents a similar list.
The most colorful of all first sackers,
and the greatest fielding first base
man of all baseball ages, was Hal
Chase. Branded crook, Chase was
forced into exile.
The Chicago White Sox that won a
world championship, were one Of the
most colorful teams of all time and
Happy" Felsch, "Swede" Risberg, Joe
Jackson, Chick" Gandil, Claude Will
liams, Buck" Weaver and Eddie Ci-
formers. They all left the game in
disgrace, following the most notorious
scandal the sport has known.
'Ru0e aduell was not alone one
of the best but one of the most col
orful pitchers that ever performed. His
career was a succession of escapades
and he finally died in Texas of tuber-
culosis.
Bugs" Raymond, another spectacu-
lar pitcher, was killed in row. Larry
Mclean, standing well over six feet
and crack catcher, who had more
color than any other receiver, was
killed in a bar-room row. Shutting
Phil' Douglas, still another pitcher
with lot of color, was ruled out after
disgraceful exposure.
Every sport has its list. 1t can
show its group of athletes that COM
manded the headlines, men that were
known through the nation because they
had individuality that set them apart
from their fellows but what made up
their color was not virtue but fault.
Had they walked the narrow path, had
they done just what the set rules of
society and the game demanded, they
would have lacked the color. They
would then have been only ordinary
and therefore simply commonplace.
They stood out because they were not
ordinary. And, for the most of them,
we can not help carry affection. We
loved them for their imperfections.

AMERICANS WIN
Big net TITLES
Richards And Casey Vic
tOrious In Mexican
Tourney
(By Associated Press.)

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 3.-Eastern and
Western United States today combined
forces to win the defeated Howard and
Robert Kinsey, American title-holders,
SO, SO, 6-S, GA in the doubles finals
of the international tennis tournament.
The California stars, Miss Mary
Browne and Miss Charlotte Hosmer,
also FLASHED for the singles title, with
Miss Browne victorious over her young
er rival in straight sets, Ga, 81.
The triumph of Richards and Casey
over the champion Kinsey brothers
furnished the surprise of the tourna-
me1t which was equalled only by the
elimination of the champion women's
pair--Miss Browne and Miss Louise
Dudley-in the semi-finals by Miss
Winifred Suhr and Miss Marion Will
liams.
Good Work In Doubles
The play in the finals of the mems
doubles was notable for the excellent
work of Robert Kinsey, whose individ-
ual efforts furnished the greater part
of the competition which the brothers
offered their opponents, resulting in
the second set going into IA games.
Howard Kinsey apparently was off his
usual game, being weak both in serv-
ices and places.
Richards showed occasional flashes
of brilliant form but failed consistent
ly to return Robert Kinsey's service,
while the latter was successfully re-
turning Casey's cannon ball service. Ex-
cept for occasional sharp volleying, both
sides mostly attempted lobbing to take
advantage of the brilliant sunlight.
, Miss Browne experienced little diff
ficulty in winning from Miss Hosmer
who, although she started the first
set brilliantly by winning the first,
third and fourth games, weakened
under the strong, steady attacks of
Miss Browne.

MASTER CHARLIE
LEADS WINNERS

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 3.-Master
Charlie, imported colt belonging to w.
Daniels, Chicago stockman, by winning
the Kentucky Jockey club stakes at
Churchill Downs Saturday, took the
lead of the seasons two-year-old win
ners. With the addition of this rich
race to his string, he topped the jul
veniles with $95,025 to his credit.
Mother Goose, the H. p. Whitney
filly, is second with $72, 1855, then fol-
low Singlefoot with $4,000 and Sunny
man with $30,175. Several others
earned more than $4,000.
Master Charlie was imported from
England and sold at Saratoga for the
paltry sum of $1,000. He is by Lord
Archer from Bachelors Choice by Bach
elor's Button. This is not a fashion
able breed in England, although it has
no blemishes, according to experts.
Lord Archer as a sire, is little known.
This is the first time in the recol-
lection of turfmen that an imported
colt has headed the two-year-old win
ners in America.

"HERE is no word in the language
of sport, nor is there term, used
more frequently than color. We
hear of colorful boxers, ball players,
football players, wrestlers, poloists,
golfers, tennis players. Every sport
has its colorful performers. And every
sport has its colorful teams.
But, what is the thing we call
'"color?" 1t is individuality. The man
who is colorful is not normal for those
that are normal, or nearly so, lack
color.
The colorful are rarely rich in virtue
for virtue, as someone has said, IS
dull indeed. What moralists point to
as faults and weaknesses in humans is
generally what color consists of.
Consider some of our colorful box
ers:
There was John L. Sullivan, one Of
the foremost individualists, sport has
ever produced. He spent much of his
time at night carousing and cleaning
out bar rooms. He drank away an i'm
mense fortune and had to be helped
in his last days by friends.
kid" Mccoy, another colorful boxer,
was the foulest fighter the ring ever
saw, boxer that resorted to any low
trick to win. His entire career is a
chapter of shady dealings and ques-
tionable operations and at present he
is lodged in a California Jail charged
with killing fellow human.
Stanley Ketchel, the most colorful
of middleweights and one of the great
est of all fighters, was shot to death
by Walter Dipley, deserter from the
navy, in a row over a woman. He
had been in various other scrapes.
Consider one class alone-the light
weights. The most colorful four were
George (Kid) Lavigne, Ad. Wolgast,
Bat Nelson and Joe Cans. All of them
earned big money Cat least what was
considered big money in their time).
Three of them went insane and the
fourth died from tuberculosis contract
ed in making weight. Each of the
four lost every cent that he made
in the ring.
Young Corbett, another colorful boxer
and one Of the best, met similar fate.
His case is parallel to the cases OF the

Major Griffith Gives Reasons
+ For Increase In Favor

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Man's grearious
and combative instincts supplemented
by hard roads, automobiles and leisure
time were given as the principal rea-
sons for footballs popularity with
American people by Major John l..
Griffith, commissioner of athletics of
the western intercollegiate conference,
in a talk given before the City club
today.
Comparing the relative honor and
honesty in athletics and politics Major
Griffith said:
"Our athletic championship races are
conducted far more honorably and hon
estly than are our political races. In
fact, it is slur on athletics to speak
of the political campaigns as political
races"
