 By HANS WAGNER
 My posing as q baseball school master is sure to give some of the oldtimers . laugh but as long as I've started I've got to so through with it. Maybe. at that, I'll help some young playss to get started right.
 Before winding up my visws on how to play sshortstop want to present one moro block of questions for discussion among the smateurs.
 GENERAL INF1ELD DEFENSE l. With . man on nrst. and third. double steal being attempted. do you have the catcher begging straight
 2. Do you have the second base man pr shortstop covering second on sacrifice bunts with . runner on
 3. With runner on second and sac yince bunt used, do you have, your first baseman coming in. pitcher Reiding all to his right and third baseman playing the bag?
 |. Would you have the pitcher pitch . good strike when expecting sacrifice bunt? 5
 $. Do yoI, find the hit and run played more on the first ball pitched than any other?- Why?
 Those should not be so. hard to an- swer. I will not give my answers because I think they will be more valuable as reminders to keep the college player thinking.
 In my last article I promised that I would go on, with my discussion of how the position of shortstop should be played I had got to the part concerning taking throws and touching the runner. A
 As l intimated, don't attempt to be smart and block base runners off the bag. If you do. you won't play shortstop long. Give them half the bag in a sense of fairness as we'll as a sense of safety. st

MILES ELEVEN
BEATS BURRELL

The Miles Memorial school negro
eleven proved too strong for the Burrell
college team in their game at Redwood
field Thursday afternoon and Vinesville
team won, 10 to o. The Talladega
dusky tribe could not buck the stalwart
forward defense of the Miles combina-
ton while their forward passing game
went for nought.
The Vinesville negroes scored in every
quarter. In the opening period Weems
smashed through the line for touch
down while Jackson booted the point
after-goal. McGregOr went over for a
quarter in the second quarter and Jack
son again kicked goal. A safety was
scored in this quarter also when Bur
rell back fumbled Miles punt and re-
covered behind his goal lneA In the
third quarter Weems went over for an
other counter and Oden carried the ball
over in the final period.
For Miles the work of Haywood Pet
erOn, in snagging passes. and Weems
running and Ode9's passing featured.
Armstead's run after scOOping up q
bad pass on punt formation was the
outstanding feature for. Rurrell.

TECH ALUMNI
CHARTER CAR
Will Go To Penn State Game
In Body

At recent meeting of the Birming-
ham Georgia Tech Alumni association
it was decided to charter special Pull
man cars so that the local Techites
might travel in a body to Atlanta for
the Penn State, Vanderbilt, Alabama
and Auburn games. Reservations are
being taken up rapidly and only a few
more are left for the car that leaves
here at eleven-thirty Friday night for
the Penn State game. Any one plan
ming to make the trip may get further
information from Chester Gordon, 806
American Trust Bldg, Main 1850.
Very much interest is being shown
in the reorganization of the local
alumni association. Quite few new
men have come into the local field and
large attendance is expected at the
next meeting to be held Wednesday
night, October %, at Greenwood cafe.
Meetings are held every two weeks and
quite an interesting program has been
worked out for the fall and winter
months.
There are almost two hundred Geor-
gia Tech men in the immediate vicinity
of Birmingham and quite a few of the
most prominent industrial leaders owe
much of their success to their allie
glance to the Gold and White. Officers
of the Birmingham association are Chas
e. ('Snake'O Porter, president; Will
liam II. ("BilP) Neville, vice president
and ID. G. Thomas, secretary and treas.
urer.

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Oct. 16.-(Spe-
cial.)-Final steps FOR the departure
of the Crimson Tide of Alabama and its
some 1000 lust-lunged supporters are
to be made Friday at the Capstone.
Seyeal hundred Capstone students VIII
board one of the two specials to be
opefated from Tuscaloosa Friday after
noon for BirmilWham, while the remain
der of the horde that will invade the
Magic City this weekend for the Sc
vance Alabama game will depart Sat
urday on one of the two special
train or make the trip through the
country. 1t is doubtful whether one
hundred students will remain at the
Capstone.
Increased interest in the Sewanee-
Alabama clash this coming Saturday
has been awakened through pep meet
ings held almost nightly at Morgan
hall Several new yells are to be shot
forth Saturday at the Tiger menace.
The band has been practicing for more
than two hours every day, and VII
again wade through slush and mud at
Redwood, if necessary.
Much Interest.
And with interest in the student body
rising, every hour, Wallace wade is
sending nforth his graders throush ehI
hardest week of training experienced
this wear. Linemen are charging each
other; backs and ends are grabbing
passes and blocking; scrimmage with
the best two elevens on the field are
being held. .,- ~.
Secret practice prevails but those who
are lucky enough to watch the Tldemen
in their afternoon sessions are seeing
f, some thirty odd pigskin chasers fairly
breathing for breath from the hearty
workouts they are being sent through.
No one will be able to say after the
game is won or lost that the men were
not keyed up to point necessary for
victory.
Passing Dangerous.
Sewanees great passing attack, an
attack that completed Is passes this
weekend, is apt to find itself CON
fronted with another pas ng attack
this coming Saturday. The Crlmsons
have several backs who can throw the
oval where it should so on certain plays,
and aafao5have a number of fast backs
and speedy ends who can snag it while
passing fleetly over the ground.

SCHLEIDER HAS 4.
MAJORITY STOCK

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 16.-Out Of
the tangle involving the recent pur-
chase of the controlling interest in the
Jefferson park race track, near here.
came a report today. said to be well
authenticated. that Edward G! Schlei-
der, well known capitalist, has taken
over enough shares of the Bush
ness Men's Racing association to give
him a majority of the holdings in the
Fair Grounds race track plant.
Mr.. Schleider is said to have bought
the stock of the Fair Grounds track,
formerly owned by Robert Eddy, Jr.;
Robert Maestri, James Lemarie and as
sociates, who several days ago are re-
ported to have closed a deal for the
purchase of the Jefferson park stock
held by James F. O'Hara of Baltimore
and Cad Bryan.
1t was said the Schleider deal in
volved approximately $150,000.
Oscar SABBATH. counsel for Joseph A.
Murphy and the Chicago group which
was reported to have held an option on
the Jefferson park track, arrived here
today and prepared to file a bill in
federal court tomorrow enjoining the
New Orleans syndicate from taking pos
session of the O'Hara-Bryan shares.

ALABAMA PREPARES
s9s TO TAKE MAGIC CITY
Wade Works Crimsons Behind Closed Doors For
Game With Sewanee Saturday

A light workout was scheduled for
Friday afternoon, due to the clash of
the freshman eleven with that of Ma
rion Institute, but Thursdays affair
was not light, neither was the work
out of any day this week. Plenty of
work, and then more of it, is being
given the Crimsons. And, to be frank,
it is n case of do-it-ri hit or someone
else-will.
Whitaker In Lineup.
1t now looks that the first backfield
will include Whitaker. This is his
fourth on the varsity and he is the same
dependable player, a heavy bucker and
pretty interference runner. Whitaker
should go well this year, if he is used,
as he has shown innumerable times that
he can buck the line and skirt ends
fairly well. -:
Little Rosefeld, who has ripped off
just about as much yardage this season
as any other Crimson, is also likely to
start. But it is hard to see how he will
unless something happens to ellis and
Barnes. ellis was sick Wednesday
afternoon and felt none so good Thurs
day afternoon, but it is believed that
he will be able to play Saturday.
Backfield Strong
The backfield is not worrying Cap
stone supporters one-half as much as
the end positions are. Hudson was
jerked from the first eleven and
placed on the second eleven We'd
nesday afternoon Tor failure to block on
plays around his end. Caldwell was
sent over in his place. 1t is pretty
certain that two of these men will
cavort ON the flanks.
Five men will see their last shot at
the Sewanee Tigers and four men are
apt to have their first fling at the
purple-clad eleven Saturday. Propst,
the gigantic center of the Crimsons, will
play his last game along with Compton,
Langhorne, Whitaker and oliver,
Caldwell, Holmes, Rosenfeld and
Morrison are apt to see service for the
first time.
The game Saturday will determine
to great extent what manner of game
will be played by the Tidemen against
Georgia-Tech the following week.
Should the Tidesmen smother the Sc
vance eleven, it will be case of look
out Tech Should the reverse happen,
it is pretty apt to be case of look
out Alabama!

TIGERSFARE FORTH
FROM MOUNT AINLAIR
Coach Bennett Leaves Sewanee With 20 Men To
Encounter Alabama Here Saturday

ton for him. "Hefty" Helvey, monster
man of the Tiger squad, viii fill right
guard. This position has been weak
all season until Helvey's advent into
his best form. The whole right side
of the line will feel no lack of weight
for coupled with Helvey will be either
Kimbrough or "Horse" Kirby Smith
at tackle. Both of these men are
sophomores both six feet four inches
tall and both weigh 200 pounds.
Gooch At a Flank
Del Gooch, 175; lanky right end, is
death on passes His comeback OYER
last season has been the sensation of
the wear. Gooch ably fills Blood Mil
ler's vacancy. At quarter the demure
.Zanie" Barker will be found. Although
weighing only lao pounds he is the best
quarter that Sewanee has seen in many
wears. With a level head and a sure
safety man he is credit to any team.
Gene Harris and Jack Gibbons, both
veterans of three years, will hold down
the halves. Harris speciality Is pass
work and off tackle plays while Glib
bons is Sewanee's best bet on a broken
field. Due to the showing of Jack Todd
in the last few scrimmages he is likely
to get a tryout at one of the halves,
Todd is man on the order Of Harris
although not such powerful plunger
or as good at blocking as Harris he
has the edge on the defensive work.
AIahoney's position at full is cinched.
He is the Tigers best bet in punting
and line play coupled with Barker
in the passing line Alabama will see
one of the most effective pairs in Dixie.
Several of the subs are pushing the
regulars hard. Aucoin. although rather
light for guard, has oeen in every
game this season. "Foxie" Kent is like
wise working hard for berth at guard.
Buck" Haynes was used at full against
A. and NJ. but his real game is at end.
He caused much comment by Nash
vile fans because of his work in the
Vanderbilt game last year. Although
Frog" Sanders will make the trip he
win not start the game. His injury
is still evident and the coach wishes
to take no chances.

HARRINGTON TO
WRESTLE LACY
Ten-Rourd Bout Slated
For B. A. C.'s All-Star
Card Monday

>rIoTns Darlington is going cunning in
earnest for the wrestling laurels so long
held by Tom Lacey in Birmingham. He
counts Monday nights bout at the Biz
ningham Athletic club as the chance of
a lifetime. 1t will be remembered that
Darlington held Lacey to draw here
in the early spring. Many mat fans
were surprised Darlington wasn't. He
had gone into that match fully deter
mined to pin Toms shoulders to the mat
in two stfaight falls.
Darlington was a whole lot better
than the fans thought he was and Lacey
was little better than harrington
thought he was. AS a result Darlington
was disappointed and he promised him
self that he would reap revenge if he
ever got another chance against Lacey.
Darlington wasn't satisfied with the
draw. "'|
Good Bout,
The bugs had almost forgotten the
great mat battle. Not so with Bar
ringtOn. Soon thereafter he shipped out
of Birmingham to. play professional
baseball. but he stated yesterday that
there WAS not n Uay Willie lie was pay
ing professional baseball this summer
that he didn't take n daily workout,
conditioning himself for a prospective
fight with Lacey when he got back to
Birmingham
.Barringtons big chance came when
the B. A. c. officials decided to stage
an all:star local card. He was eager
for a chance at Tom, asked for it and
got it, Not satisfied with that Bar
rington went step further. So firmly
is he convinced that he is now Lacey's
master on the mat that he offered to
go onto the mat on a winner-take-all
basis, and those are the. terms they will
Rrapple' on Monday night.
Besides the great wrestling card there
will be ten-round boxing bout between
Petey Sarron and Red Burke; 10
rounder. Sam Lavoy VS.. Joe Resha; a
llO-round affair between Bogie Saab and
Harry Carter and a Ground go between
Jimmy Smith and Young Rich. With
such n stellar attraction between local
favorites the B. A. G. officials are plan.

Coach Jackson Expects Tough
Game With Reserves Friday

/ REFORM. Ala, Oct. 16.-(Special)
With IS points scored against 10 for
the opponents, and with three games
tucked away as victories in as many
starts. the Red and Black Warriors of
Pickens County High will continue its
schedule when the locals meet the heavy
Marion institute reserves on Graham
field Friday afternoon in the fourth
game of the season. This is expected
lto be a much harder fought battle than
the Piekens-Sco struggle two weeks
ago, the locals emerging victors by a
Zone point, 14-13.
Coach jackson sent his squad through
a regular practice game Tuesday after
noon. getting in preparation for the Ma
rion game. The varsity won from the
scrubs, 800, in the practice tilt. 1t is
likely that Simpson will continue to
call signals from fullback position, while
he will have charge of the kicking de-
partment both punting and placements.
He will also be called upon to pass
and to hit the line. Captain Cox, stel-
lar halfback, Is expected to be in great
form Friday, should his bad knee, which
was wrenchcd in the Pickens-CarrOll-
ton game last year, not be hurt over.
Smalley. Jones. holland or Patterson
will likely fill the other backfield posi-
tions, while it is uncertain as to the
berths of the line.

NNE week after the conclusion of

comes the realization that something
has parsed out and left yawning gap.
The old art has been dealt blow.
: Each world series sees a new crop
suddenly hoisted to the head of heavily
captioned articles. Hands that
of new literary lights. Names whose
places belong in the box scores are
field grounders. that catch flies, that
pitch and throw base balls and that
swing bats, binds that have never been
trained to do anything else, suddenly
turn to lead pencils, pens and typewriter
keys. Overnight the ball player become
author.
The fact that tire are so many
player-writers before, during and just
after each world series, is probably
what has spread the conviction that
writing is the easiest thing in the world.
As q matter of cold fact there is moth

here cited will readily prove.
During the recent New York-Wash-
