TOHN J. M'GRAW had just lost a
 world series to Washington. The O seventh and deciding game was not more than an hour old. McGraw had no regrets. He was frankly glad that Washington had won for the sako of Walter Johnson and baseball.
 He keenly admires Johnson. He felt sorry for him when the Giants beat him in his first two starts. He would much preferred to have won over theTW w ash ington left-handers instead of Johnson. He was sorry it had to be Johnson. Then, with the final game oyer and Johnson the victor, McGraw felt no bit terness. Defeat carried no sting for him. If he had to lose he was happy over the fact that it was Johnson to whom he lost.
 McGraw was discussing Johnson, telling what a splendid asset he was to baseball and what fine character. Then he paused for a moment before he concluded:
 But, if I were Johnson, I would retire right now. I would never pitch another game of ball. I would make this last game of the world series the climax of my career and would let the glory of this day pass down through baseball history. ...4
 If Johnson continues pitching he is going to dim the glamOr that envelops him now. He can still win ball games, but I don't think that he is going to win as many as he loses from no won."

The Umpire
BY H. G. SALSINCER

The conversation shifted to Ty Cobb and other players.
 "If were Cobb," said McGraw, q would never again put on a uniform. Cobb is still good today, better than the average. But Cobb is long way from the Cobb pictured in the minds of the fans. Why not let that picture stand? Why dim it by failures that are bound to come to him because of slowing down?
 Cobb can not possibly improve on his record as it stands. He has won more honors than any man that ever played baseball. His record speaks for him, but from nOw-on he is going to start cut ting down that record. He can not possibly continue batting at the pace he has been. He can not .. up that average. Nature has to be reckoned with. and Cobb has reached that stage where muscles stiffen quickly and where they respond slowly. The longer he plays the more he will hurt his record.
 That was a magnificent picture at the ball park today. will never forget it. It was grand and glorious with Johnson as the central figure I do not know of any player in baseball's history that ever reached the climax of his career as dramatically as John- son did. l never saw anything like 1t before. So, why not let that picture stand as it is? Why go out and lose the brilliance of it? It would be a shame to mar the magnificent of it.
 ''The same with Cobb. This year he set another baseball record. He cannot possibly set another. He has won all the honors that he can possibly win. If were Cobb would take my uniform and pack it away. would never lace on pair of skiped shoes again. I would say to myself: I'll stand pat; beat me if you can.' You, know they are not going to beat him if he quits now. If he continues playing they ,gill have a chance. It would be a humiliation for Cobb, who has batted better than 300 every season since 1905, to end a season with an average below 300. But that is bound to happen if he keeps it up.
 'The best wish that I can have for Cobb and Johnson is that they will never be seen in lineup again."

GATORS START
 ON TEXAS TRIP
Floridians Leave For Bat tie With LonghOrns
 Tuesday Afternoon

GAINESVILLE, Fla, Oct 2O.- (Special. )-The Gators grid party, in cluding 21 Layers, coaches and man agers, are booked to leave Tuesday afternoon for Austin, Texas, for the battle with the Longherns of the Uni versity of Texas.
 The Floridians survived the Wake Forest scrap without,a single injury and are in the very best of shape. Horse Smith is the only doubtful man Tn the entire. squad. Since the brilliant Ga. tor tackle has not yet fully recovered from his injury received in the early part of the season. However, Booth Davis, 1923 Rat star, has displayed classy goods thus far this season and will likely take Smiths place.
 Last Workout
 Monday afternoon the Orange clan grid machine went through their last workout before leaving for Texas. Coach Vanfleet gave the backfield men a stiff practice in their particular phase .ot the game where Major Typton in structed the varsity linesmen in the correct method of pushing the huge bucking machine. Athletic Director Whitedon donned the pigskin togs and aided Coach Vanfleet' by taking charge of the Gator wingmen during the ait erno0n. < #ae. a.s-.
 A scrimmage practice with the rat eleven ended the final practice. Only the subs took part in this affair, the first stringers resting up, only indulg' ing in running down punts and forward masses, Captain Ark" Newton and Bootlg Davis were the only regulars to enter the scrimmage. The Gators have an excellent chance to hand the famed Texans defeat. The Floridans dis played a powerful offensive in their dope upsetting victory of the Wake Forest eleven and every indication pcints to their hitting their stride in the first intersectional scrap for Orange eleven.
 An Aerial Attack
 Monday afternoon quite a large part of the workout was spent in furthering the Gator aerial attack, which proved so effective against the Carolina eleven Saturday. Texas will receive the full benefit of the Gator passes next Sat. urday, The players making the trip are Captain Ark" Newton, Edgar Jones, Dick Brown, Bill Middlekauff Spec Lightsey, Joe Merlin, Cy Will Hams, Boots Davis, Goldy GOldsteini Clyde Norton, Sam Cornwall, Tiny Chaplin, John Murphree, Spick Stan ley, Oowen Pittman, Lamar Saarar CorseS Smith, Jack Stewart, Carl Price, Dick Rose, Bill Anderson. The first eleven named will very likely start the fray.
 The Floridan gridders will reach Texas sometime Thursday and will spend the next two days in acclimating themselves to the Texas climate and gridiron.

In a practice round here Monday in preparation for the Roebuck Country clubs big invitation tournament for womenJ Mrs. Dave Gaut of Memphis, who has won many titles on the links smashed all local records for women's SCOT. by negotiating :he difficult al ] unfamiliar Roebuck course in 78. Mrs Gaut's play, which lowered the previ- ous women's record for the course by six strokes, was tht most brilliant ever seen here. Mrs. Gaut was playing with Charlie Hall, professional at the Birmingham Country club, and lost one one up and was one stroke over Halls score og 75. E..4s
 Hall, who is known. as the Babe Ruth of the golfing world, one of the longest drivers in the game, remarked after the round that he had seen many women play golf but in all his witness. ing of women's play he had nsYef seen such brilliant playing as gMrss Gaut displayed. Her putting and her ap- proach shots, were manipulated with g eral errors in judgment due to unfam. iliarity with the course, she recovered with such sckill that her faults were not noticeable. E.t:,st
 The former record was S2 and was established Sunday when Mrs. Fl. s, Geismer, local player, made the course in a brilliant S2, one stroke less ithan the&former record. s..'
 Great Feat
 At the time of her great round Mrs Gaut was playing in foursome with Hall, Drennen and Mrs. E. M. Kilby. Though many women of prominence in Southern golf have played overthe Roe. buck course, none have ever broken S0 though several have made tie course in low sos.
 There were a large delegation of women practicing Monday for the big tournament which opens Tuesday with the qualifying round. The. first match will get off at 9 o'clock and Mrs. Gaut and Mrs. Geismer have been paired to make the first round together. .
 Representatives from Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi are included in the field but Atlanta has the largest delegation of 5out-of-state women. The tournament is expected to be one of the most brilliantsains the history of women's golf in the south and following Mrs. Gaut's sensatorional round Monday it is evident that some

conference. Whether Tulane will be able to continne its phenomenal win ming such as was displayed Saturday will be the problem faced by contending elevens.
 Next Saturday Vanderbilt plays Georgia ut Nashville, Georgia who held Yale to a z to 6 victory, and here will be found, in large manner, the an- swer to the puzzle of the conference rating. Tulane plays set-up in Spring Hill. .2 In intersectional contests the confer ence teams held the visitors spells as the dust of battle cleared. Georgia Tech showed good offensive, and a clever kicker, to win from Penn State, 15 to 13 in Atlanta. A field goal by Williams won the game. Louisiana State university, under Mike Donohue, took Heisman's shifty Rice eleven into tow by beating them 12 to 0.
 Important Games
 The coming weekend struggles will pit two mighty teams, as a conse- quence of the advancing of the season, for Alabama will meet Georgia Tech and the championship of the confer ence will in a large measure be de- cided. l.. s. U. plays Auburn at Bir- mingham in another conference game.
 Washington and Lee, though beaten by Wake Forest, is still in theN running for the conference. flag and the Gen erals defeated Kentucky State knock ing them out of the race. Wake For est, a non-conference eleven which has been causing considerable damage to gridiron teams reputa tions this year, was finally checked. when the great Florida eleven rolled up a score of 34 to 0 on them. Florida, thereby, placed herself among the foremost of conference elevens in the running for the bunting. Next Saturday the Flor ida eleven visits the Lone Star state to encounter the Texas Longhorns at Aus tis. Washington and Lee meet Vir- ginia Poly.
 Georgia Wins
 Georgia stopped Furman in a hard struggle, 23 to o, while Auburn bested the Howard College Bulldogs. Both teams encounter conference elevens next Saturday in Vandy and l.. s. tU., re- spectively.
 Mississippi A. and M. defeated Ole Miss in their annual classic, 20 to 0 while Alabama downed Sewanee in an- other classical contest. Tennessee, which beat Carson-Newman Saturday, will encounter the Mississippi Aggies next Saturday at Memphis, Tenn. Ken lucky State will encounter Sewanee in another conference conflict.
 Matters of much weight in the award ing of the southern conference title will be in the games of next Saturday. Fol lowing the coming conflicts a cham pion may be picked from the list of con- tending teams.

DIXIE CONFERENCE RACE IS. MLJDDLED
Vanderbilts Loss Throws Doubt On Probable < Title Winner Important Games This Week

Since the last of the collegiate yells have vibrated off into nothingness and the final gasps of dope mongers have are trying to figure out how it hap pened. The boys who shout out the rah-rahs to encourage the husky ath- letes who battle for the dear Alma Mater on the gridiron are still jabber- ing excitedly over Saturdays contests in the Southern conference or have decided to consider the matter closed bit of history, depending upon the at titude Dame Fortune took toward their athletes bootbaH efforts. Vast crowds were outraged or electrified on battle grounds in all portions of the confer ence domain. The undisputed law that for every action there must be a reac- tion and similarly that for every vic tor there must be a loser coupled with an utter abandonment by Dame For tune in her dispensation of victory palms created a afEOFe of comment as the results of stIHgghHg elevens trickled in over the wires.
 An upset which shook the confer ence to it's fartherest reaches occurred in New Orleans when Tulane defeated the terrible Commodores from Wander bilt. So unlooked-for was the out come of the struggle that fans were left aghast as the import of the score became apparent. Hailed as one of the mightiest of conference elevens, picked by the mass to retain the Champ Pickens cup, emblematic of the South ern championship, the mighty McGugin machine was bowed in dust as the Greenies scampered across their goal line once in each of the final periods to make the count stand 21 to 13.
 Killed Early
 All this in their first conference game. To be thus knocked cold before even starting to fight appears to those not closely concerned as freak turn of chance but to those allied with Vandy is represents cold and stark tragedy. With an assemblage of stars reputed to be the best in the Southern conference, including also one all- American, Vandy had the material for the building of a powerful scoring ma chine. Now hope is gone and the only returns from the remaining games of the schedule will be the grim satis- faction of killing off the chances of their opponents in the title race, should the team come through with winning ball for the remainder of the season.
 There was nothing phoney about Tu- lanes victory. Though the Greenie eleven utilized breaks of the game in scoring two of their touchdowns they made fourteen first downs to Vandy's three in the second half after the Com modores had Outplayed them in the first half.
 Tulane Doubtful
 The result of this game leaves Tu- lane as the doubtful quantity in the

 I find that my pupils get along bet ter when l tell them, Forget all l have told you, and go out and play the best game you can" When a person is beginning to. learn golf, he should practice more than play, and, when he is practicing, should follow instruc- tions to the letter, constantly striving to make every stroke correct one. But form doesn't become really valuable un- til it becomes habitual. It isn't good thing for him always to be thinking about rules. So I say, Forget them, when you play. Hit the ball." The important thing to be kept in mind about learning golf is this: You can't do it in one lesson. It takes years to master the game and reap the real benefits of sound early training.
