Greenies Expected In Montgomery With
 Many Followers

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. D. Tulane's green wave still roll into Montgomery Friday for the annual gridiron classic with the Auburn Fig CTS at Cramton Bowl Saturday aft ernoon. With the Tulane squad will come more than 600 students and other football enthusiasts of the crescent city.
 The doctors are boosting of the great est team in their history and are in- vading the home state of the Tigers prepared to free their artillery in hope of achieving the initial victory over the Pittsmen.
 And while the greenies are work ing hard for the approaching struggle, Coach Pitts has not permitted any loaf ing in the village of the plains. The Tigers have been pushing their offens- i've this week, and according to reports, the Tiger backs are in top form of the year for some real driving attack here Saturday. Harrison, Turner, Salters, Williams and Henderson are much bet ter pigskin toters than they were fort night ago. Pitts is not worrying about the line. He knows it will not be found wanting.
 Big Crowd Expected
 A record attendance is expected to witness the struggle, the only one in which the Tigers will participate here this season. The ticket demand this week has been very gratifying and ip- dications are for crowd not to fGU below the 7.500 mark.
 The Lanier Poets and Cloverdale High school will meet at the stadium Friday afternoon. Then the Poets will begin the plan for two bitter foes from Jefferson county, Ensley and Bessemer, both to be played next week. The Ensley aggregation will offer the op' position in the Armistice Day battle, while the Bessemer boys will invade the city Saturday.

The Umpire
BY H. C. SALSINGER>

in 1923, but this year when he was most deserving of it and when he was at least 30 per cent more valuable than in the year when he was placed on top, a queer twist in the rules governing the award prevented him from repeating. According to the rules no player can be awarded the honor twice. So, while Walter Johnson was made the most val uable player, Ruth was the most valu- able in reality and had he been eligible he would undoubtedly again have been an unanmious choice.
 Comparing Ruth and Cobb is a pop ular pastime. There probably never were two players in the big leagues who less resembled one another in type than Cobb and Ruth. Cobb was never the slugger that Ruth is and Ruth was never the scientific batter and base runner that Cobb was. As far as hit ting is concerned you can compare the best consecutive five seasons from the record of each player:

In batting Cobb is 27 points ahead of Ruth, comparing them on the best con- secutive five seasons of their careers. Cobb is considered as base runner and Ruth is not, while Ruth's home run rec ord is included and Cobb's is ignored. Ruth never stole more than IT in a season and Cobb never made more than 12 home runs in year.
 Cobb stole 22 bases last season and that is his best record since 1921, when he stole the same number.
 Ruth will never be able to equal Cobb's record for hits and he will come nowhere near touching his base-stealing total It is not likely that Ruth will score as many runs as Cobb has scored, although in the five years mentioned above Ruth beats the Cobb mark by more than 200. But Ruth has many seasons to go before he can get within grasp of the Cobbian lifetime total. Only in home runs will he excel Cobb.

nier, although they lost to Pickens coun- ty by narrow margin.
 The Armistice Day battle between Ensley and Lanier will also bring two of the strongest contenders of the state into action. Ensley, team which has been playing an exceptionally heavy schedule and has not known the bangs of defeat as yet, is being groomed very strongly for chief honors by local prep fans. The affairs with Lanier and Woodlawn are the chief obstacles in the path of the Jackets. They have beaten Bessemer, a favorite contender and Jefferson and have shown their power by beating Central high of Chat tanooga and holding Tech high of At lanta to scoreless tie.
 Poets Tied Thrice
 The Poets have been playing a heavy schedule, and have not yet been de- feated, although they have been tied thrice. The Montgomery eleven came out .deadlocked with Tuscaloosa, Bar ton and Grove Hill, the latter two be- ing a couple of the outstanding preps of south Alabama, while Tuscaloosa holds sway rather strongly in the north ern section.
 Local fans are doping an Ensley vic tory, and this would certainly mean q lot to the local eleven in the race for state honors.
 Phillips journeys to Jacksonville, Fla, to give battle to Duval high, one of the outstanding high school teams of the southland. Duval and Phillips bat tied to tie last year, and both will go into the battle to wrest a decision this time. Phillips has lighter and less experienced eleven than the one which gave battle to the Floridans q year back, but the Crimsons will un- doubtedly give a good account of them RaIVea

Reports From Athens
 Praise Bulldogs As Mighty Combine

UNIVERSITY, Va, Nov. 5.-(Spe- cial. l.)-Georgia will send an unusually strong team up to face Virginia on Lambeth field next Saturday, accord ing to Coach John Kellison who saw the Bulldogs overwhelm the University of Tennessee in Athens last week.
 Undefeated in the south this season the Georgians are tied with Alabama in the lead for the championship of the Southern conference. This veteran eleven lost to Yale by only one point.
 But forgetting the loss sustained last Saturday at the hands of Washington and Lee the Virginians are drilling hard under Coach Earle Neale with the hope that they may be able to turn back the invaders on Saturday.
 Coach Kellison has brought back a report that down in Athens a wonder full team has been developed, one that has power in charging, speed in rum ming plays, and accuracy when a pass is called.
 Many Fans With Team
 Inspired by pride in the team rep resenting their state University the Georgians are planning a wholesale invasion of Virginia this weekend, and it is expected that a special train will be run from Atlanta to Charlottes- vile.
 D. D. Brown, graduate manager, would not be surprised to see a larger crowd here at the end of the week than attended the Virginia-W. and l.. game last Saturday.
 Coach Neale has not driven his reg ulars hard in practice this week. In fact none of the first team players were on the field yesterday, for they were given a complete rest from Sat urday until this afternoon. It is doubt full if the varsity will be scrimmaged this week, for Coach Neale wants to save his men in order that they may not be stale and stiff from overwork when they go on the field against the GeorDiaps

FIRPO WILL NOT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The Labor department today declined to order the deportation of Luis Firpo.
 Assistant Secretary White signed an order cancelling the warrant on which the Argentine boxer was arrested when he arrived in this country.
 The department held that while the record showed that there was some sus- picion as to the cations of Firpo in relation to the charges made against him, there was no proof of wrong doing. A New York grand jury previously had declined to bring an indictment against him on charges which grew out of the presence board Firpo's ship of young woman

Babe Ruth will be officially crowned the American league batting champion when the league averages are announced in few weeks.
 Although Ruth has been recognized for years as the greatest slugger of all time, it was not until this season that he was able to capture the batting crown.
 In 1923 Ruth tried hard but near the finish of the race Harry Heilmann passed him and finished 10 points ahead of Ruth.
 This year Ruth set out to win the batting championship. He started the season with that end in view. Before he had always tried to knock the ball out of the lot; this year he varied his efforts. Most of the time he tried to hit the ball through, rather than over the infield. When he had the infield- CTS playing well back he took advantage of the situation often and bunted.
 Pitching to Ruth has been the most difficult problem of American league pitchers for five years. He is the most powerful threat in baseball, the greatest weapon on attack: huth' Tn the language of sport, has them coming and going. Until this year he did not take full advantage of the fact
 No team has successfully combatted Ruth at bat. He may be stopped for awhile since he goes into slumps prob ably oftener than the average player, but sooner or later ''the Ruth crushed to earth will rise again."
 Pitchers claimed to have found a de- livery that stops Ruth. Sometimes 1t did, but not for long. Sooner or later Ruth solved it.
 Iris Speaker, manager of the Cieve- land Americans, and who was for sev- eral years a team-mate of Ruth, says:
 Ruth will hit any ball that he can see. That is certain. Then the only way to pitch to him is to feed him the kind of a ball he is least likely to see and that is ball pitched over the in side corner of the plate just above the knees. Sooner or later he will see that delivery, but it is the one he is least likely to see."
 Ruth is deserving of the title of bat ting champion. While he is the most dangerous batter the game has produced he was never able to land on top of the batting averages because of his de- sire to hit home runs. He struck out too often. By hitting through the in field and bunting this year he made him. self much more valuable. Ruth was easily the most valuable player in his league. He was awarded that honor

Editors Note: This is the twelfth and
 last of a series of articles analyzing the
 vote by which the players of the two big
 leagues picked all-league teams. Who are the most feared batsmen in
 the two big leagues? That's easy
 Ruth in the American and Hornsby in
 the National, of course.
 Who are the most dangerous base
 runners? Very easy to answer, too-Ed- |die Collins in the American and Max Carey in the National. On the ballots used by the league |players to vote on an All-American peague and an All-National league team 1.-two questions were printed. One was !: What batter in your league do you most thread at the bat in pinch? The oth- Ter: What base runner in your league fs most dangerous?
 It was rather suspected the answers
 would be as above. But it also was an |ticipated that some other mighty inter
 esting dope might be unearthed. For instance:
 Yankees Idea Ruth at the bat is,a deadly menace tO ScFeu JULIET AiAcIlCdu AcdSuc CluDSs but what batsman most inspires respect lin the breasts of the Yankees? And what about the St. Louis Nationals lis there some player whom they fear as much as their rivals fear Rogers Horns |by?
 Well, some of the players neglected to answer the questions presented to them, One veteran pitcher in the National league had to have his little joke over which batter he feared most in pinch. "All of them," he answered. But a big proportion put themselves on record. The following is the vote on the most dangerous batter in the American league:

VI nen and how, in playing Il stymie, should butter be used? Under what circumstances should other clubs be used for the stymie shot? Describe the correct methods for playing the stymie.
 Answered by
 A. H. MURRAY
 Canadian Professional Champion The correct club to use for stymie playing is a mashie-niblick or niblick not too heavy. This is for closeup stymies. An ordinary mashie should be used when both balls are over six feet from the hole and within 15 inches of each other.
 When a mashie-niblick or niblick is being used the club should be held firm ly in the fingers of both hands. Do not take too long a swing. Short, sharp strokes get the best results.
 A butter should never be used for stymie play except when the slope of the green allows for borrow"

The Hueytown Gophers and Jones Valley Brownies are slated to clash Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Bessemer Stadium in what prom ises to be a feature battle. Coach Snider's Gophers have been sweeping through all opponents this year and have yet to receive a setback. With Bessemer D Fairfield and Fayette re- maining on the schedule to be played the Gophers, if they can continue their pace, will have set a great record for the year. The showing of the Huey- town eleven this season is more marked because of the fact that it is only the third year of the existence of football team at Hueytown.
 The Brownies, coming from a school equally as young, have been beaten by small margins in games they have lost this year and in one or two the breaks of the game have really turned the tide of the battle.
 Newton Makes Changes
 Attempting to break the string of setbackS received by small margins at the hands of opponents Doc Newton has made sweeping changes in his lineup and the Brownies will face Hueytown Thursday with an eleven on which practically every man will be played in a new position, shifting to get heavier men on the ends Coach Newton drew Wood, a guard, and Ward, a tackle, out of the line and sent them to the Hanks. Working for a fast set of guards he shifted Edney, last years star halfback but who has been unable to do much due to injuries this year. and Skews, an end, to the center of the line. Allgood, who played at quar- ter in part of the last game but who played center last year, has been shifted back to the pivot position mad Harkins, who has been playing center goes to tackle. Brill, end, will go to quarter where Martz, the regular signal caller, has been absent for two weeks.
 With this changes lineup Coach Newton will make a supreme effort to comeback Thursday. In the Hueytown his seasons opponents to combat and a victory over the Gophers will be con- sidered a real comeback and reversal of form. The Brownies have been driven relentlessly this week for Newton was greatly disappointed in the last game in which Simpson defeated the Brown ies to 6.
 Gophers In Good Trim
 Coach Snider announces that his eleven will be in battle prime. An injury to Captain Salter, halfback, is the only handicap which the GOphers will work under in the contest, though several men still show bruises from their victorious battle with St. Par,,a r,I l,,et SoIfa,. y,oy ,Ok r,ah to start the game in which case Ham, mond will be sent in at half.
 The game will be played in Bes- semer's new stadium and is expected to draw a large crowd.

The Doctor Arrives
 "If you'l just loosen her dress and shoes, Mother, I'll go down and get hot water bag for her feet
 There's the doctor, now" l said. with apparent feebleness. as l heard a car drive furiously into the yard.
 "Ill bring him right up." Har- riet made precipitate exit, and l knew that she would aequaint Dr. Petit with our ruse, that he might act accordingly.
 Don't take off my shoes yet. Mother" l stopped her as she bent tc my shoe lace,. Time enough after Dr. Petit comes up.'
 That's true" she replied doeilely, and l lay back with eyes closed, and kept them closed while Harriet led the physician into the room and to the bedside. At the first words opened them to find his face set into a forbidding mask as he asked me a few perfunctory questions. I saw that he would not soon forgive or forget the humiliating experience which I unwittingly had shared in thrusting upon him, but little l cared for that when he turned to my mother-in-law with the gentle raillery he always saves for elderly patients and children. It is manner which completely transforms him.
 She'll be all right when I've fixed her up a dose" he said smiling, but you must take one, too"
 Me? I guess not" she bridled. T don't need anything
 You don't think so, but you do. This excitement is too much for you," he replied, taking her wrist firmly in his hand.
 "I thought so." he said, after, a few seconds. Now, down with this"
 He gave her potion, and busted himself with apparent care for me for little while. Then he nodded to Harriet. and stood unobtrusively near while she took her frail mother into her strong arms and told her the thing for which we had been preparing her. But though our pre- cautions saved her weak heart from stopping. and though she struggled brayely for composure. she was too old and weak to bear the blow with out breaking. and after wide-eyed staring at each of us in turn, and a convulsipe twitching of her face. she slumped against her daughters shoul- der in a merciful swoon.
