.MAURER MAY BE
 OIJT OF'TECH GO
Oglethorpe Captain Has Infected Foot Which
 May Hinder

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 25.-An in- fected foot is nothing to cause one par ticrlar worry, but when the victim of that ailment is the captain and star of football team, then there is great cause for unrest.
 Therefore. although Captain Adrian Maurer will no doubt be in condition for the fracas with Tech Saturday, it is but natural Oglethorpe supporters should be considerably worried over the fact that his right foot is infected as result of slight abrasion received in the heavy scrimmage the Petrels were put through Saturday. It is but nat ural, too, that the, sight of their cap tain and star in eits on the sidelincs should, have harmful effect upon their morale. ii
 But it has not. Rrhe Oglethorpe boys cannot feel that the gods will be so heartless as to take from them stheir leader and chief Iground-gainer, upon whom they are so Greatly depending this first year that they have real chance to defeat Tech. They do not feel that all the fine hopes they have built, up for the coming season shall be wiped away with one smashing blow, and there is no doubt that the Petrels would enter the Tech game defeated if they were minus the services of Maurer.
 Coach Jim made talk to the boys. and if there is any one thing that Jim car do better than play and coach football, it is to make a speech.
 Last year the Petrels were beaten, 27 to 13. When the two Atlanta schools first met in 1921 Tech won easily, 55. to o. The next year the Petrels man. aged to score their first touchdown on the Tornado. This year Adrian Maur- CT, the fleet-footed all-southern half- back, who has three times crossed the Tech goal line, is back as captain of the Petrels. He is one of the most bril- liant players in the south and the folks here will turn out to see Maurer play if they are not anxious to size up Techs team. Ii
 The Petrels will probably line up as follows for the game Carroll and Mix, ends : Cooperand Justus, tackles; Par rish, center; Harden and Corless, guards; Campbell, quarterback; Maur- CT and Smith, halves, and Kilgore, full back. il

'GA1CHELL BACK 7.
 IN AGGIE CAMP
Wings Source Of Worry
 To A. & M. Grid Coaches

A. & NJ. COLLEGE, Miss, Sept. 25 Kenneth Porter Gatchell, Titan var sity center of the Mississippi Aggies, is back in the camp of the Mississippi Az gies. There remains only one more eli gible varsity letter man yet to report, Dewey Lane, brilliant end.
 The arrival of Gatchell strengthens the prospective forward wall materially, Miller is back in his old berth at left guard, with Fulton at left tackle. In the absence of Lane, Crappy Laird is on the. left wing. It looks like Banks at right guard, with Spark Plug" Corley shifted out to right tackle as an expert ment. Hook Stone is on that end.
 If Corley comes through with the right stuff at tackle, as he is expected to do, Coach Abell's greatest point of uncertainty in the line at the present writing will be on the ends. Laird and Stone are both capable performers, packing lots of ability and stamina and fight. They seem to have everything but varsity experience in their positions. Whether or not they will develop fast enough to occupy the wings in the man. ner of Noble and Lane is a matter yet to be seen. There is also the problem of reserve strength on the terminals. The return of Dewey Lane would pave the way toward solution.
 Coach Abell is spending a great deal of time with his forwards. Not only is he teaching them the proficiencies that made him an all-American tackle, but he is also developing, via the lecture method, the temperament and morale that goes with being a good linesman. Coach Dudy Mobiles is working with the backs and ends, teaching them the ele- ments of bunting and passing.
 The gridiron has been lined off, and as a climacteric feature a short scrim- mage is held each afternoon between two picked teams: The coaches are get ting their war cries warmed up and the fireworks are beginning to pop.

TAKE
 ENTIRE SERIES
Magic City Champs Win Two Games From
 Memphis

The Alabama Power team, champion amateur. organization of Birmingham, made clean sweep of the series with the McWilliams Construction nine, champions of Memphis, in their series here by taking both ends of double header Thursday afternoon, 8 to 0, and to 1.
 The first game was fairly close until the fifth. Welchel was pitching great ball for the Powermen and did not allow hit until the seventh inning when Geiger obtained a singie off him. It was the only hit of the game for the Memphis nine and was obtained off one of Whelchel's slow balls, a Texas leaguer over second base.
 In the fifth the Powermen put the game on ice. A pass to Whelchel and four successive hits, the last three bagger by Brinskelle drove four men around the circuit. The locals started another rally in the seventh and scored two more. The hitting of Loveless fea- tured this game. Brinskelle and Clay ton Speer also starred with the willow. Second Closer
 The second game was a closer contest and Richardson pitched a nice game for the visitors. He tied up in Q pitchers battle with Dad Vines and was bested by the local twirler. The Powermen scored in the first inning on Burney's hit. Love's double and Brinskelle's grounder. Another tallied in the second when Hancken tripled and scored on c. Speer's fly to center. Loveless singled in the third, stole second, went to third on Leggett's wild throw and scored on a passed ball. The sixth Loveless was safe when Cissel mussed up the play, went to second on Brinskelles grounder and scored on Hammell's hit to third.
 The McWilliams team obtained their tally on Leggett's double, took third on Cummings out and scored when Han tcken threw wide trying to get him at third.

TRAM SESSIONS
 TO AID GILLEM Former Alabama Star Is Named Assistant Coach
 At Howard

Tram Sessions. former all-Southern football star at the University of Ala maba. has been named assistant coach at Howard college, it became known Thursday. Sessions will assume his new duties immediately, it was an- nounced-
 Following the death of Coach Harris G. Cope, who for two years had served as athletic director at Howard, Jenks Gillem, assistant coach. was named head coach. Thursday, Sessions was appoint ed to take Gillem's place as assistant.
 Sessions had charge of football prac- tice Thursday. The team has not prac. ticed Wednesday, due to Coach Cope's death, so Sessions rushed matters a. bit Thursday. After forward pass drill. signal work, and blocking instruction. the two varsity teams were sent against each other in a scrimmage. Tram Ses- sions worked in the line for the second varsity. and succeeded in showing some of the old time drive that made him an all-Southern star at Alabama.
 Normals Saturday Week
 The Bulldogs will not play a game this week. A tilt was stNleduled with Vanderbilt for Saturday, but due to the death of Cope, the game was can celled. The next game of the Bulldogs will be a week from Saturday, against the Jacksonville State Normal outfit. The game will be played on Berry Field.
 Coach Gillem is not expected to re- turn until Saturday morning. He is at Cartersville, Ga., attending the, funeral of Coach Cope.
 When Birmingham Southern and Au- burn lineup for the kickoff at Munger Bowl Saturday afternoon. the entire Bulldog varsity squad will be on hand to witness the struggle. Complimentary passes were sent the squad by the Panther management, in order that the Bulldogs might spend their idle week. end witnessing a football game for a change.
 Sessions Former Star
 Tram Sessions-it's Coach Tram Ses- siOns now-needs no introduction to Birmingham sporting public. His four years of star performance at the Uni. versity have not been forgotten, and his many friends iii Birmingham remem Der him as a sensational football player In Thursdays work out at Berry Field Sessions took active charge of the line and more than one Bulldog was heard to remark after the practice was over He knows his stuff. all right"
 Gillem and Sessions should make q nice team for Howard. Gillem has had extensive training under Cope as an end and a back. and will probably take charge of the Bulldog backs. Sessions all-Southern reputation indicates that the Howard line will receive the ma jority of his attentions.
 The Bulldogs practice today, see the Panthers play the Tigers Saturday, then dive into hard work for the State Nor nal game next week.

New York Now One And Half Games In
 Lead
lRy Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The New York Giants vanquished Pittsburg for the third successive time today and ad- vanced another step toward their fourth straight pennant on the wreck of Pirates hopes. A crowd of 25,00O saw the fighting Giant elan batter out 5 to 4 victory and crush beyond recall the last lingering chance of PittsburS in the national league race.
 The Pirates, however, went down with colors flying in the 9th inning, when with two out, they rallied and pulled up to within a run of the champions on Carey's home run drive, which scored Schmidt and Moore ahead of hina But Art Nehf, veteran Giant southpaw, who had outpitched his portside rival, Will bur Cooper, and put his team in the lead with homer in the 55th. checked the belated rally abruptly by striking out "Kiki" Cuyler, brilliant Pirate out fielder for the second time.
 Pirates Out
 By making a clean sweep of the series, the Giants increased their mar gin over the Pirates to four and a half games. Since the champions have on- ly three games more to play, they can not be overhauled by Pittsburg, even if the latter won all its remaining five games.
 Brooklyn is now the only obstacle in the path of McGraw's fight to hang ur a record pennant string for modern baseball history. The Robins were idle today, so the champions stretched their margin over Robinson's crew to one and a half games. By winning two out of the remaining three with Philadel- phia, McGraw can clinch the flag, even if Brooklyn wins its remaining two with Boston.
 Bucs Get Six Hit,
 Pittsburg today made only six hits off the diminutive southpaw Nehf. un- til the ninth and they were scattered in as many innings. Their only run in that span came in the fourth when the Giants makeshift inner defense cracked momentarily and Traynor, singling with two out, scored on successive errors by Lindstrom and Kelly.
 Barnhardt. batting for Grim, opened the ninth with a single. He was forced by Schmidt and Cooper opped out, but Moore also singled and then Carey caught one of Nehf's inshoots and lofted it into the upper section of the left field stands. The score.

The telegram shows that the Mosul
dispute is still far from settlement.
At the. last meeting of the council
both Great Britain and Turkey
agreed to the appointment of an ar

would collect all the Information on
the Mosul question. Both countries
also agreed to accept any decision
:. concerning the Irak-TuriIish frontier
which the council might pronounce.
The arbitral committee has not yet
been appointed.
The difficulty arises from the fail
ure of Great Britain and Turkey to
agree on what constitutes A status
quo frontier. England contends that
the status quo line is that fixed by
the treaty of Lausanne. Ismet Pasha.
however, argues in yesterdays telegram
