Saturday, being especially noteWorthy.

not so dependable. Joe Martina is

he will improve when the weather be-

Whenever a catcher has to work
in game he should always warm up
with the pitcher he is to receive that
afternoon Often this is not done
and it results in loss of team work
for period of three or four in
nlngs. Even though catcher and
pitcher are members OF the same
club and travel together constantly,
the little association of warming
up together before the game makes
for better base ball.
The catcher should always warm
up before game as faithfully as
should a pitcher. This is especially
true if he is playing on new or
foreign diamond. Such warming up
on foreign diamond often allows
him to size up the ground situation
and make allowances for any little
peculiarities he may find.

CRIMSON TEAMS
 HOLD SCRIMMAGE
Alabama Backs Look Good In Work Against
 Freshmen

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Sept. IT, Especial. )-Scrimmage was held Tues day afternoon between freshmen and varsity teams of the Capstone, held be- hind closed doors to the Capstone stu dent body and resulting in much bet ter showing of the varsty players than in any previous scrimmage of this year.
 The works of the backs was especial ly pleasing as short and long passes dropped into their hands or into the hands of an end and yardage was ripped off. So was their sweeping interfer- ence on swings to the Hanks, heavy backs paving the way for lighter and fleet backs to click off distance.
 Blocking and tackling showed some improvement over previous scrimmages, but not to such an extent that the three mentors were exuberant with joy. Many changes were made in the tackles an.i guards, as some tackle missed his man or a guard allowed one to get through. Ends were switched, packs were switched all changed as some play went wrong.
 Dave Rosenfeld and Johnny Mack Brown smeared passes and ripped off lengthy gains with the aid of Gillis and Hubert Little Rosenfeld worked his short legs in beautiful form to side step and elude tacklers, while Browns open field running was pretty to be hold. The other two backs crashed of rhe line for gains and passes and raT interference well. Winslett and Sal. mon also showed up pretty in action
 Very few plays were used by the varsity. Coach Van de Graaf's men were playing solely on. the defensive

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 17.-Dan McGrew pitched Memphis to 6 to 3 victory over Nashville and the 1924 champions today. The big tribesman held the vols to four scattered hits, all singles, while his teammates battered Morgan for nine safeties, including four doubles and triple. Score:
 Counting today's victory, the Mem phis club won a total of 102 games and has lost AS, for percentage of .6SO. Atlanta, serious challenger for first place for several weeks, has won 91 games and lost 63, for percentage of .647..
 Each club has four more games to play. Should Atlanta win all of its remaining games and Memphis should lose all, the Chicks would still have a lead of half game. e
 By winning the pennant, Memphis earned the right to represent the South ern association in the post-series with Fort Worth, winner of the Texas league championship. This series, consisting of seven games, will decide the Dixie championship, which Fort Worth won for the second time last year by de- feating New Orleans.
 John D. Martin, president of the Southern association, wired Doak Rob- erts, president of the Texas league, to- night asking him to name date for q con. .srence at which arrangements will be made for the Dixie series. Martin and Roberts compose the commission under which the series is played each year. MT. Martin suggested to Mir. Roberts that the meeting be held in New Orleans Friday, and asked if that date would suit the convenience of the Texas league president.

 The return of Deuce" Domengeaux is a great boost to the success of I4oyola's team.
 Coach Moon" Ducote faces quite a task in replacing the line position left vacant by the non-return of last years regulars. Only three of the veterans that composed Loyolas strong set of forwards have reported thus far. They are Johnny Dixie" Carroll, Joe No Ian and Joe Tuminello.
 Nothing as yet can be said about the ability of the newcomers to Loyola. The division of men that has been made so far is only temporary and is based upon Ducote's knowledge of the ability of those players whom he has seen perform before. The squad will be put through their first scrim- mage this afternoon and every man will have a chance to show his stuff" Many a surprise may be sprung in the form of uncovered stars before the aft ernoon is over.

Tunney. punching more accurately and effectively, possibly was entitled to the shade in the opinion of the experts.

Tunney .centered his attack on the middleweight champions body. punishing him with ripping right Gsd left hooks at close quarters. He made Greb break ground half dozen times with right smashes under the heart, robbing the Pittsburger of his speed.
 Neither Damaged

 This was their fourth engagement. Tunney having twice defeated Greb af- ter losing to the middleweight titleholder the first time.

NAVY IS PREPARING
 FOR EARLY GAMES

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept. 17.-While the naval academy will have this year the longest period of preseason prep aration it has ever had. it will need every bit of it, as two of it's hardest games come early on the schedule, Mar quette on October II. and Princeton week later. These will be the sec ond and third games, the season open ing on October 4, when William and Mary plays at Annapolis.
 Realizing the necessity of getting to work promptly. nearly all of the mem. bers of the varsity squad reported here week earlier than the date offocially set. and others made their appearance during the week. The most important absentee is Paul Clyde. the big tackle, who broke his collar bone in an auto accident while on leave. It is doubt ful if he will be able to play this sea son.
 On the other hand. "Whitey" Taylor captain and end, who had so much trouble with his leg last year, is in fine trim, and this may be said also of Shapley, who is counted on t be the mainstay of the backfield this sea son. Shapley broke his collar bone in the game against the University of Washington last year, but is now in prime condition.

BULLDOGS WORK
 HARD FOR GAME
Howard Opens GridirOn Season Here Saturday
 Against Marion

Only two days of practice remains to the Bulldogs of Howard college before the seasons opening game--with the Marion Cadets on Berry field Saturday afternoon-after Wednesday afternoon light workout.
 The Bulldog squad was sent through only a light workout Wednesday after noon, consisting of q short pass drill, some kicking, and signal work. The game with the freshman team Tuesday was very severe, and the squad, as a whole, needed partial rest after the affair. Consequently, there was no rough stuff on Berry field Wednesday afternoon.
 This afternoon will probably see q heavy practice session, with possibility of some scrimmage. It will be the final opportunity to polish off before the Marion game, and it is not expected that Coaches Cope and Gillem will let the opportunity pass without some heavy work being slipped in.
 Friday afternoon, final signal drill will probably be in order, and after d short and spappy workout, the squad will be sent to the showers early.
 Coaches Cope and Gillem are expect ing hard game for the Bulldogs Sat urday. Marion always puts up great struggle against the Bulldogs, and in the past have occasionally upset the dope with victories or close scores. The Howard coaches are not looking for anything resembling set-up, and have already warned their men, it is said to expect one of their hardest games against the Cadets.
 Goose Williams. letter man from the 1923 squad, returned to the team We'd nesday afternoon, and went through the workout at left end. Williams will hardly be in shape to see much service in, the Marion game, but the Bulldog coaches are expected to use him con siderably if he shows of the form of which he is capable.
 Final arrangements for the game starting time, officials, etc.--have not been announced yet, but will probably be made known Thursday or Friday morning. However, Coach Cope stated Wednesday afternoon that arrangements have been made to care for large crowd, and that he is expecting the fact that the Marion-Howard game will be the first of the season for Birming. ham to add to the attendance
