Leonard the fighter. Leonard broke
Duane's jaw and an auto smash-up
completed the demolition of his hopes,
bruising his spine. Leonard was sent
into the ring too often and now he has
been "softened' by the absorption of
too many punches.
Ralph de Palma, driving a 50O-mile
race, approached the finish so far in
front of the field that he had to slack
of to avoid piling up on their rear

checkered flag something broke in his
engine. De Palma got out and tried to
push his car over the line but they
all passed him.

He had a new interest in life, mis-

at dawn he would be eager to go out to
his farm and carry on the work.
Rain clouds that had previously
meant a spoiled day for him, now took
on a new meaning. When the cotton
fields needed rain he watched each fleet

of storm clouds. He specialized on what
his 10 acres would produce, on what
he would get for his cotton in the mar

harness and the other utensils.

pug CHAMPIONS
ARE THREATENED
Leonard, Villa And Demp-
sey Have Opponents
In Offing

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The heads of
inactive wearers of puglllstlc crowns
will lie uneasy this week as strong
rivals peer into the throne rooms on
their way to battle for the right to
challenge.
The most seriously threatened will
be Benny Leonard, ruler of the light
weights for many years. On Friday
night at Madison Square Garden, Sam
nv Mandell of Rockford will meet Jack
Bernstein Of Workers for the third time.
The winner of this bout will be matched
with the victor in the Sid Terris-Luis
Vicentini fight arranged for Novem-
Der %.
The ultimate winner of the informal
tournament will emerge as the logical
challenger to Leonard, and in the opin-
ion of many critics here, probably will
be the next champion. There are doubts
of the ability of Leonard to make
the, lightweight limit and a conviction
that he will be beaten if he does.
Vicentini is the hitter. Terris the
flash, Mandell the best rounded fight
err and Bernstein the veteran OF the
challengers. Mandell and Terris are fav-
ored to meet in the finals.
Among the flyweights, with Cham
pion Pancho Villa forced into semi
retirement by an edict of the state
athletic commission. AL Brown, a wiry
Panamaian, will make his downtown"
debut next week against Tommy Mil
ton.
The two are regarded as the best of
the flyweight aspirants. Brown looks
good to majority of sports writers
here and if he defeats Milton, he may
be matched with frankie Genaro.
The third threat, though yet vague,
is to Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham
pion, now in New York fighting the
footlights." Sully Montgomery, former
Centre college football player, will meet
Quintin Romero, Chilean slugger, in
the heavyweight tournament at the
Garden Wednesday evening. Pat Les
ter and Tony Fuente, coast sensations,
may be brought along later to- meet
the winners of the tournament. The
much discussed match between Romero
and Luis Firpo may become a posi-
bility before January if Romero sur
wives his tests up to that time and
assuming that Firpo defeats Charlie
Weinert in their Newark battle Novem-
Der 10.

DRAFT WAS KNOWN

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, Nov. o.-Joe
Jackson and Oscar Happy" FeIsch,
once heroes of the Chicago White Sox,
who were banned from baseball follow
ing the world series scandal of 1919,
charged Monday that Charles Co.
miskey, owner of the club, knew that
graft existed among his players ''lOng
before any of them were disbarred from
the game"
Following the testimony Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, high commissioner
of organized baseball, that he had the
authority to punish club owners who
employ ineligible players, the attorney
for Jackson and Felsch, made the
charge against Comiskey in court here
Monday
Felsch and Jackson have taken court
action to recover what they claim is
their share of the second money" of
the 1919 series. Lands was dragged
into court under the discovery stat
utes" of Wisconsin.
Lands said the money, totalling
$4,000, is being held as the property of
the sixteenth club owners of the ma
jor leagues and maintained he had no
power to regulate its dispensation. He
emphasized the fact that Felsch and
Jackson had admitted their part in the
conspiracy before he was appointed
| commissioner of baseball.

Bells toll slowly in the Village of
the Plains-the Tiger is dead. The
Bengal passed out Saturday, the vic
tim of a ghost. The Commodores of
Vanderbilt, whipped and then extermin-
ated, rose up from out reeking' mlre
and slew the Plainsmen's tiger. Twice
the count had been tolled over the
PROSTATE form of the team OF Nandy as
Tulane and Georgia mashed it down,
but the combine showed life Saturday
as Wakefield resurrected the dead. Thus
passed another contender.
A man may skate on thin ince habitu-
ally, but he will eventually fall through.
Thus with Auburn, who courted defeat
from the jump after the early prelim
games and their machine crashed into
disaster before the Commodore's attack.
Twice HEX Wakefield, Vanderbilt's
great flankman, crossed the Plainsmen' S
goal and the completion of the southern
conference race took on an Alabama
Georgia hue with Mississippi tint. Au-
burns menu encompassed probably the
toughest string of games ever attempt
ed by a Dixie eleven. After whipping
Clemson and tying Virginia Tech, both
conference teams, the Tiger walloped
Louisiana State, another conference
team, and in their fourth encounter OF
their race ran afoul of Vandy. The
Plainsmen still have to play Tulane,
who defeated Vanderbilt, Georgia, who
also beat Vandy, and Georgia Tech,
who beat Penn State. A man-slzed
schedule, if there ever was such.
The big Trio"
As Auburn fell, Alabama university,
Georgia university and Mississippi A
& NJ. were left high and dry above
competitors. All three teams have
nerve-racking contests to come. Ala
bama will meet Kentucky university,
rated as a tough eleven, in big home
coming celebration at Tuscaloosa next
Saturday. This contest is causing the
Capstone students quite little serious
thought for last season, the Kentucky
crew threw scare into 'Bama.
Georgia meets the Virginia Cavaliers,
beaten by Washington and Lee last
Saturday. Mississippi A. and NJ. will
encounter Vanderbilt, the wild bull OF
the conference. Auburn clashed with
Tulane, who, fell before Mississippi Ag-
gies in the weekend encounters.

strong Florida Alligators.
Washington and Lee, which has not
been defeated, as yet, meets non
conference team next Saturday in Cita-
del. V.P. l. tied the Generals and they
have won three conference games.
The1Virginia Tech eleven, which has
the queer record of having tied both
conference games played by scoreless
ties, meets a weaker sister when it en-
counters North Carolina State next
Saturday. The Old North State team
has lost all three Of its conference games
played, but tied Davidson, Howard
Jones' team, though it was not a con-
ference encounter.
South Carolina VS.. Furman
South Carolina, which has won three
and lost one conference game, will
meet an S. l. A. A. eleven when it
tackles the Furman team. Furman
has been engaging the big boys of the
south in battle but so far has had no
better luck than to give one or two of
them a scare.
Florida, continuing its practice of 60
ing far out in its reach for competition,
will meet the Army Mule next Saturday
at West Point. The Gators have failed
to show the ensational form expected
of them this season and so far have
made only an ordinary, or mediocre
showing.
No game slated for this weekend is
expected to draw tears from the eyes of
temperamental boosters of prospective
champions other than the Mississippi
Aggies' clash with Vandy. Alabama
will be treading on less pecarious soil
than the Aggie clan from the Delta
state for now that they have nothing to
lose the Commodore seems to delight
in wrecking hopes of trophy aspirants
as their great star, Wakefield, tries to
replace his injured comrade, Lynn Bo-
mar, as end on Walter Camps all
American eleven.
Georgia is doped to beat Virginia
and Alabama is supposed to beat Ken
lucky so the stage is being set, week
by week, for what now appears will be
the championship game of the Southern
conference in Birmingham on Thanks
giving Day.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-There's many a
flop twist the start and the top.
The Cincinnati Reds were a syrupy
sweet proposition when they went to
Orlando last spring to train for the
season. They had 'hitters, pitchers and
great defense, on paper. But their
misfortunates didn't show on paper.
They trudged to the end of the sea-
son with half of their personnel on
stretchers.
The Red Sox led the American
league last June. They followed it the
rest of the way.
Cornell's football team, undefeated in
three entire seasons, invited Williams
college to Ithica as usual this fall for
the usual beating. Williams won IA to
Z.
Willie Stribling, boy of 10, had ev-
erything. He could box at long range or
fight in close. He had the prizefighter's
instinct and a pretty good punch. His
father crowded him through 100000
program of fights in every town that
sent the kid an invitation and ruined
Willie's chances for the championship.

National open champion.

The word "relax," as applied to golf,
simply means to be natural. With very
few exceptions, practically all the be-
ginners and average golfers are not
natural therefore, when they take a
grip on the club it is, in most cases,
under a tension. 1 find in my teach
ing that the best way to make a pupil
relax is to give him an exploration
somewhat as follows: say to him,
"When you walk or when are eating
do you do SO under a strain? When you
walk, you just walk naturally, don't
you? And when you eat do you grip
your knife and fork with a vise-like
hold, or are you holding them just suf-
ficiently to control them?" After this
explanation, / find that the pupil be-
gins to realize the difference and holds
the club with a grip which allows him
freedom and, at the same time, control

and hire a caddy to laugh at me when

II hate a game where you have to
keep silent. I'd rather attend nice

'If I leave off golf and do my drink
ing at home won't have to give away
three quarts of every gallon. That's the
way I figure it,

tributes its funds in a foolish way, it
seems to me. 1t spends a hundred
thousand or more on the course and a
million On the clubhouse-and you can't

ALABAMA DOWN
HOME STRETCH
Tide Prepares For Com
ing Of Wildcats Next
Saturday

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Nov. g.
Especial. 1.-The Crimson Tide of Ala
bama settled down into the home stretch
Monday afternoon-the stretch that will
carry them to the Dixie championship
or to defeat in one of the three remain
ing games to be played before the cur
tain of the 1924 grid season falls on
Thanksgiving Day.
Alabama, undefeated and unsecured
upon this year, faces three big games
before the curtain will drop. First will
come the Kentucky Wildcats, to be
played Saturday afternoon as the main
attraction of Homecoming Day; next
will come the Centre Colonies in Biz
mingham; the final tussle is scheduled
for Birmingham with the Georgia Bull
dogs as the Tides opponent.
Kentucky Centre Good
Kentucky and Centre have much
better elevens than the score of their
game this past Saturday indicates, said
Capstoners who secuted the game. Both
have good drives, great backs and won
derful lines-a combination that will
worry the Tide.
Kentucky has played one eleven that
the Tidesmen have-Sewanee. They beat
Sewanee by a bare one touchdown mar
gin. The Tide won by two touchdown
margin. AS anyone knows, who saw
the Sewanee-Alabama game, 'Bama was
often on the defense. Therefore, one
sees nothing scheduled for Saturday but
hard struggle.
Kentucky was defeated last year by
1853 score. A run by Tracy for more
than 60 yards featured for Kentucky.
Kentucky has almost veteran team
from that of last year and in Sanders,
captain and fullback, have one of the
best backs in the south. Tracy is back.
Hughes, the other half, and Gregg, a
neat drop-kicker, are other threats III
the backfield who will probably start
against Alabama.
Centre Uses Air
One of the noted facts in the Centre
Kentucky game was the fact that Cen
tire backs were unable to pierce the Wild
cats line for many successive gains and
were forced to resort to an aerial attack
to win the game.
Alabama went through a light work
! out, after returning Sunday from Mol t.
gomery, for their coming game. Coach
Wade had all members of the squad out
early Monday and has plans that will
work them up to the fighting edge again
before Saturday.
No one was injured Saturday. The
team showed all that was expected and
| the play of Jimmy Johnston against
Ole Miss was such that it only added
to the already powerful reserve strength
of Alabama.
Build Extra Seats
Carpenters are building additional
seats at Denny Field to accommodate
the immense crowd expected here for
the game. Close to 10000 people should
witness the struggle if fair weather is
had. The roads from Birmingham and
other towns in this vicinity are said to
be in good condition. Special trains
are to be operated from Montgomery
and Birmingham, it is believed.
The freshmen eleven, following their
21-13 victory against the Vanderbilt
freshmen team Saturday, also started
out for another week of grind. The
rats" have two more games on their
schedule-one here against the rats
of Mississippi A. and NJ, and another
at Winter Haven, Fla, against the Rol-
Inns college freshmen.

NOTRE DAME IS
GRID HICHLICHT
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Football to
eastern fans is gradually assuming a
national rather than a sectional focus.
Notre Dame, which has long been
almost alone in bringing here the foot
ball gospel of the middlewest, has been
sharply aided this year by the accom-
plshments of Red Grange and Illinois,
and the victory of Marquette over the
Navy.
Alabama. alone among the prominent
teams of the nation which has an I'M
crossed goal line, increased the respect
toward southern football by beating
Georgia Tech, which had previously de-
feated Penn State, one of the ranking
elevens of the east.
None Could Beat ROckne
While critics here discuss the rela-
tive claims of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth,
Lafayette and Army to the honors of
this section, there is a general assump-
ton that none of the four could de-
feat Rockne's squad, on the form it
exhibited in outclassing Army and
Princeton.
Although Princeton will not meet No
tire Dame next season, other important
teams are rumored angling for the date
Pennsylvania has announced that ne
gotiations were in progress for a
home-and-home series with the Hoos-
iers; Harvard also has been mentioned
as a prospective opponent and Local
paper tonight carried an INSIDE story
that Rockne's team would play in the
Yale bowl in 1925 or 1926.
Grange Wins Place
Grange is willingly accorded the place
of honor among the seasons players and
is generally accepted as a marvel There
is strong desire to see the Illinois
star and Zuppke team in action in
New York next year and it is rumored
that a contest with Syracuse at the
Yankee stadium is a possibility.
Illinois, by virtue of its heavy scor'
ing against Michigan and Iowa, is re
garded as one of the great offensive
machines of the era and sentiment here
would welcome post-season game
which woIld pit the individual bril-
lance of Grange against the Wilky Wa!
of Layden, Crowley, Stuhldreher anC
Miller of Notre Dame.
