The Umpire
BY H. C. SALSINGER

NHRISTY MATHEWSON recently
U 4 picked an all-American base ball
team which indicates nothing more
sthanthat Christy Mathenson has got
ten out of active touch with base ball
matters.
Mathewson picks two teams. Three
American leaguers appeared on the first
team, Bassler of Detroit, as catcher;
Rut of New York as right fielder; Falk
of Chicago, as left fielder.
Bassler and Ruth cannot be left off
any team. Bassler unquestionably the
best catcher in either major league, and
Ruth the most valuable player in base
ball, but where in the world did
Mathewson pick up Falk?
He selects Fournier of Brooklyn,
and Shelly of Chicago, as his first
basemcn, and this is probably where he
makes his greatest error. He completely
overlooks the best two first-sackers in
the game-Blue of Detroit and Bot
tomley of st. Louis. Either of them
can play rings around Shelly picking
Shelly in the American league you
would have to pick Judge, who rates
second to Blue.
MathewSon names Bancroft for short
stop on his first team and ignores
Travis Jackson, generally accepted the
best shortstopper in the National and
the player CHIEFLY re sponsible for New
York winning the pennant this year.
He makes no mention of Ross Youngs
among his Outfielders, and Youngs is
considered by many the best outfielder
in the National this year. Those who
have the opportunity to watch both
major leagues say that Rousch, Youngs
and Ruth stand so far above the out
fielders that the matter is beyond dis
pute.
Mathewson probably is in sympathy
with the recruit player who, having
made a horrible blunder, was being
given severe reprimand by the man
ager, who finally asked the recruit what

Especial. For more than an hour,
Wallace Wade sent his varsity gridders
against a squad of grass-cutters with
Sewanee plays here this afternoon. And
when it was over, the Crimson regu
lars breathed as hard as if they had
been through a regular scheduled game.
No chance is being taken on losing
to the Sewanee Tigers by the Crimson
mentors. The Tigers seem to be ex
listing in a veritable blaze of optimism
MS the result of their close game against
Texas A. & NJ. this past Saturday and
from all reports seem to be on edge for
the Alabama game.
Sewanee, with all of its purple and
loyal followers, will be forced to fight
one of the heaviest lines in the south
and contend with one of the most YER
satile backfields that Alabama has ever
had. Mind you, not the best backfield,
but one of the most versatile.
Triple Threat Men
Several of them boast of this So
called triple-threa ability-punt, pass
and run. In RED" Barnes, Grant
ellis, Dave Rosenfeld and Mack
Brown, the Crimsons have four such
men. Barnes and Gillis will do most
of the punting and carry about so yards
in their boots, but the other can take
their place and manage to lose only a
few yards in. their punts. All four
can pass. And there is little doubt
but what one of them will get away
for some yardage if they have half a
chance Saturday.
There's only one spot on the line
that is apt not to be decided on until
the last moment As usual, that is at
the flanks. If Wade knows who will
start there Saturday, he is not saying
SO anyone. 1t is pretty apt to be two
chosen from Caldwell, Hudson, McClin-
took and Johnston, with the choice 60
ing to Hudson and McClintock. But
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-10-16

sound. Despite the gruelling test of the
battle and the terrible heat of Dallas
none of the purple clad men were in
jured. In addition to the return of
complete eleven in good physical con-
dition from the southwest there, will
be added to the list of eligibles Satur-
day the names of three more stars who
have been out of the lineup in the last
game or so. The Tiger forces will be
marshalled to its full quota and team
which will be the best physically yet
to appear on the gridiron for Sewanee
will come to Birmingham.
Tide Aarrives Friday
The Tidesmen will come to the magic
city on a special train Friday after
noon arriving at the Louisville and
Nashville station at 6 :45 o'clock. Coach
Wallace Wade will take his warriors
to the Country club Saturday morning
where he will give them the final in
structions before committing the honor
of the capstone and his reputation as
a coach into their hands to carry in
the battle against their most ancient
of foes.
The Mountaineers will leave Sewanee
Thursday and arrive in Birmingham
some time Friday. Coach Bennett has
not been going easy on his squad dur
ing the first three days of the week
and has scrimmaged them daily. This is
indicative, if nothing else, that he is
confident that his men are all in good
condition. 81
Seat Sale Heavy
The seat sale for the game has been
going along at merry clip and taking
this advance demand for the coming
contest as a measuring stick the in
terest will mark in far up the scale.
The tickets are on sale at Chenoweth's
and all on sale seats are reserved,
There will be no use for delay in
purchasing seats and the chances for
getting into the line too late for good
reservations are very probable. There
will be a few unreserved seats put on
sale after all of the reserved seats are
gone.
Last years crowd was record break
er for this game; this years should
be an overwhelming increase over all
known attendance, for the annual
classic.

FRISCH, KELLY, YOUNG
Commissioner Says O'Connell's Story Differed
From Circumstances At Time

story of what happened before and
after he approached Sand during the
game at the Polo Grounds September
q was Numerically opposite to that
related by Sand and also the accounts
given by the others called before Com

Asked by-Landis what he did after
offering Sand $500 to throw" the
game, O'Connell was said to have re-
lated that he walked to the batting
cage and, there told Kelly what hap
pened. Then, O'Connell said, he took
part in batting practice.
Sands Version Different
According to Sand, however, O'Con-
nell did not approach any other player
at once 'but went to the bench and

OConnell in the latter's attempted
bribery of Heine Sand, Philadelphia

ADMISSION HIGH
OUT FOR LOCALS
McLane To Bring Strong
Squad Here For
WOOdlaWn
(SneciaI Ieased Wirel

ADMISSION, Ala, Oct. 15.-This
week is proving to be busy one for
the Admission High school Buccaneers in
their preparation for Saturdays grid
battle with Woodlawn High school.
Tuesday afternoon the local gridirOn
artists scrimmaged the heavy teachers
clan of the Jacksonville State normal.
If the showing in this scrimmage can be
relied on for dope concerning the sttug-
gle Saturday with WOOdlawn it appears
that the locals will have hard work in
holding their own against the strong
Birmingham team.
Coach l.. T. McLane has had to build
his back field from the ground up.
Bradley is the only man back from last
years squad. The Buccaneers lost
seven varsity neil from the team of last
year which gave Woodlawn the scare
of their life in hot contest on the local
grid. The members of the varsity team
that did not return are as follows
Potter, quarter; Rutledge, half; Cole
man, full Collins, end; Borden, tackle ;
Rainwater, center; Reaves, guard.
1t seems a formidable backfield had
been working, composed of Bradley,
Glass, Monroe and Leslie, but in the
game last week Glass had his ankle
twisted and will be out for probably a
week With all this, however, the Buc-
cancers are determined to fight until
the last whistle blows.
