Tennessee had an easy time against Transylvania, as did Sewanee against the University of Chattanooga and Virginia Polytechnic Institute la tta game with nichmond Colloge, while Kentucky State turned back the Invading Cincinnati University eleven with a seven to six victory. Probably tbe most desperate struggles of the day, however, were those pqt up by the Vanderbllt team against Alabama, which ended In the Commodores holding the Crimson eleven to a 14 to 7 victory, and tho battle In which Virginia and Georgia proved to each other that each had an Impregnable defense against tbe other attacks, told friend husband that be must not box any more after he meets Dewpsey, but the great guy but We know he was a flier In the French nvlatlon corps during the war, but that Is an Incident of the past and doesn't tell us bow hard be can sock.

For if armed with Rlggs Stevenson and Mullle Lenoir in the backfleld and a well balanced eleven they were a bin to squeese out such an empty defeat then the futuro, when Vandy Is Itself again, holds no crimson tinted Bbyllnc for them.

For the Commodores were five times within Alnhama's ten-yard lino. The Crimson paused that anino mark defended by Vnmlerhllt one tlmo less. Twice they scored touchdowns, once Lenoir fumbled and the other time Vandy's frnll Hue stiffened and hurled back the lied threat. Never did the Commodores give a more superb defensive exhibition. The entire Uno shared In the glory.

Tlio far-famed Stevenson was tossed back off the rugged Vnndy front as If ho were a prop school beginner and not Dixie's premier back. For such he appears to be fur nil the Ilnrluns and the Shlrllngs. Stevle lacks some of the drive of Bblrllng, but he has far more versatility and polish. Ho runs closer to the ground, while Sblrllug conies In high. Stevle can buck the line, circle the wings, punt, pass and back up tho Hue.

Which la considerable to oak of any gent. There may be something left to do on a gridiron. If there is aught remaining, Stevle will doubtless answer the call. Ilnd Vandy possessed a high-powered back they would have trimmed the Scott clnn. But their punch was feeble.

The Crimson-jersoyed horde was reeling and the Commodores were unable to slip over the slumber swat. Smack dnb Into another of those comparative score bugabooes have tboso Com modores run. Hero's these Virginia folks who hold Gcorglu to a scoreless deadlock the Crackers bolng the same outfit which walloped Auburn 7 to 0 and the inemoiy of the Tiger conquest of Vandy, fit) to 0, Is still quite fresh. For the benefit of those Charlottesville people are grapes the suggestion Is dropped that they move over to a different angle. Dcsplto tho fact that the McGuglultes have come forward with considerable agility since they were massacred by Tech and Auburn, they are still few notches Bhy of Charlottesville caliber.

The Turple Tigers appear to he the only foe left on the Vandy calendar tnit ivi iuw IKUII I.UII1- modores. And even the mouhtnlneers may go ICepubllcah along with Alabama. For it's a tough year on tho dope. "That cannot be the Bame team which played Auburn," was the surprised chorus which came from Birmingham grid follow-ers ns they watched tht Commodores bus along at such a smart clip. There was Interference for the Vandy backs, the blocking was vigorous and Vandy fought back with never breaking stubbornness.

Folks who have followed Alabama this year claimed nnuy did one thing which heretofore hnd not been accomplished they steadily blocked down Brown la the thin lied line. The tackling was too high but this has been a Vnndy fnult all season. Doubtless the- news that the Btrangle hold la barred has been delayed in transit en route to Vnnderbllr. There was marked improvement In the charge of the Vandy forwards nnd although In the flrat half they were befuddled to some extent by the Crimson shift, because the guards failed to meet It, they timed the shift far better In the hist half. In those two periods the Commodores played Alabama to a standstill, made five first downs before Alabama could get started and had the spinal columns of Crimson co horts frozen hs stiff as a Greenland icicle.

Tom Hynn performed In his dependable and llery manner despite nnd leg injury. When Doe Kuhn was whlszlng back with bis W-ynrd klckoff return Texas Tommy blocked O'Connor In such vigorous style tint even Annoy followers winced in sym pnthy for the stricken Alabama back. Gink nendricks likewise showed advance incut In his line piny nnd made several bitter tackles, while Jess Neeley was the some old fighting defensive Jewel. Swayne Ln thnm spun off a 20-yard sprint around the flanks when Vnndy opened with a great cliiillctifro hut was forced to retire with twisted Cnp'n Stoop Down Floyd, handicapped by rheumatic muscles, near broke loose once on a 17-ynrd gallop. The pity of the Vandy cupula's closing career Is his physical mishaps for few folks harbor the same amount of moleskin lore as Floyd, and In prima condition ho would be as easy to Impede ns a porcupine.

But his misguided knno refuses to permit Him to cut back, so that wheu cut off ho must slop. Frank Gonr unreHed the fanciest punt which ever flipped from Commodore, toe. It came snon after Lenoir had fumbled Inside Vandy's five-yard Hue. Directly behind the goal post and behind his goal line the rtirmlngham hooter swirled his southpaw toe io the ovnt and sent It swirling Hlxty yards down the field. It was situation which called for super-kick.

And (iour responded to tho demand. So badly battered whs the great Stevenson that he was forced to take to his bed. When Vnndy bit him It was not one but three and sometimes four tncklcrs who ploughed Into him. It must have been highly discouraging to Hlevie. In tho lobby of the Tutweilor friend of Sievle's came down Saturday night to ask Turn Hmnc where nn onteopnth could lie found.

"What's mailer?" asked Cnpt. Nuck llrowit, who is nlwnys snooping around for news. "Slavic's had a nervous breakdown," confided the Aluhumu gent, who did not know Cap. Hrown belonged tu tho rival camp. And Nuck slipped nway fearful the rln would okld across his face.

Xen Scott confided to friend that the conquest over the Commodores beyond don hi cost Alabama victory over both S. uud (leorela. The Uatoti Rouge people are plnyed Thursday and the Crimson folks are certain to carry the scars of Vandy tackling Into that struggle. Sheffield Is Winner. AI.UANV, Nov.

Only in the fourth quarVr did the I'urpfe and (iold show the driving power which scored three touchdown against HoKerwvllle. 1'roeter and Arthur were the Sheffield stars.

Tho latter raced through fho Albany team, after fumble, for one of the Sbef-llcld touchdowns. Taylor Drug Oo. Wins. The Tnytor Prug Company defeated the South Waverly eleven yesterday by score of to 0. the touchdown being made by Donahue.

Murphy was a star for Taylor and iriudio iur waverly. 33V tions lies not wholly In the fact that ho was the offensive gem of the combat. Not by a demijohn full. Ho flashed a sterling specimen of defentdvo tactics. Ho rapped 'the lunging Alabama backs with a sickening thud.

There was no "beg your pardon" method employed by the doctor. What's more the collision of 141 Dde and rival rnmfinbly left traces of disaster on some person whose name wsb NOT Doc Kuhn. Here's nil that the home grown moleskin-tier displayed In Birmingham: ne almost cams ahrcust of the celebrated Itlgjrs Stevenson in total yardage gained. He niude possible Vandy's lone touchdown by ii spectacular (HI-yard return of a klckoff. He whirled the oval which JeBs Neeley Hpenred In a swarm of hostile tack lorn.

He helped lug the ball inside Alabama's flvo yard lino by a brill In nt sprint ran ml the Hanks for CO-yards. Outside of which Doc Kuhn was quite as useless to Yandcrbllt as legs are to Man O' War. The mighty Stevenson pneked the pigskin for a total distance of 140-yards through the McQiiglnltes front and nround the wings. Doc Kuhn clipped off 0-1 -yards in Vandy's behalf. Ho ran the eleven with rare judgment and Jn nine enses nut of ten his sudden swerve Inside tootle when Vandy bad tho oval two yards from the Crimson goal In the final period would have borne rich dividends.

ITad he gone out-aide the end which was completely smothered by Budden rush from Cap Floyd, IMnk Wndo and Jess Neeley, ho could novo hobbled on crutches across the gonl line. But the distance was so sUort that Doc chose a quick opening. He failed to sec the foeraan who hauled him down. Not throughout their unfortunate campaign have the Commodores offered more gallant exhibition than against the thlnnisb red line There Is no denying that the Scott machine was three or four touchdowns better than tho McGuginltes. And not only did the Commodores roar loudly at the gates of victory, but with a 1 break or two of luck they would have scaled the peak.

Hut luck Jilted them lu every instance save one. Ordinarily the punt which Frank Gonr blocked In the last period would iuve bounded toward Alabama's goal towari which the Commodores were in motion. In. tend It hopped backwards toward the CrlmBon people. Jim Knrly who performed In gallant fashion defensively pouueed upon the oval.

Awl luck again fciilckcred at Vandy. Jim's wing, Injured In the Norms! game. Is still weukLsh member. So when Tram Reunions cove wrench the oval slipped from Knrly's tender grip. It was quite a case of thievery.

Still It only makes the count betwixt Vundy and Alnbnmn nil squarr. For back in 1017 Top KlehnfdHon saved a touchdown by pilfering the oval from the paws of Itiggs Stevenson Inside the Commodore nvo-yaru line wune rivals were snarled In heap. Morally the finnl numerals may well be called Vandy win without fear of Inciting a raucus debate. There is no disputing the contention that It wan a decisive financial verdict for the Commodore followers. For tit" Crimson cohorts chesty In the strength of their veteran outfit freely wagered nn mnrglii of IJl points.

So that the victory cumo as a sort of hollow honor. The hugs, who came over from Tuscaloosa found themselves in the singular situation of having toppled Vandy after a seventeen year famine and being too 111 to enjoy It. Across long Intervals thero came 'feeble barks from the Crimson people. They wero more like walls than hurrahs. Their band was stilled and their anticipated hiillalioo sagged down at A MAN'S collar is like the piano in an orchestra; if it is right nobody notices it; it' it is wrong nobody notices anything else.

The two most Inlereitlng games staged thus far ln The Dell this season were play-edyesterdny afternoon when Maxwell nouse Corner Cigar Store and Itoberts-Bweeney Rifles, and Jos. Prank Boa and the Shelbyvllle Tigers met in a duet. The first game was won by the M. H.

C. team by tbe score of 42 to 0, and the second was won by tbe Sbelbyvlllo team by tbe score of 14 to 0. 4 The first game was an easy victory for the cigar team, as tbe khaki team was not able to put up a successful defense until the last half. The Maxwell bunch started the gntue off with a whoop and before tho rifle boys could recover tbe scoro was 28 to 0 and tbe first half wai over. The soldier boys came back strong though in the lust half and put as tine a dofenso against odds as was ever scan on a gridiron.

Time and again when tbe M. H. C. team threatened to score the defense threw them for a loss. Tbe victors made 14 points in the last half, making the score 42 to 0.

The playing of Brwln and Hunter featured the game. Tho second game was a bit closer, and more exciting. The two teams fought first up the field and then back again during the first half, giving great exhibitions of passing, end running and tackling. Also quite a bit of punting was Indulged in. In tbe second half the Tigers with the assistance of three passes, one for 35-yards, and ono behind the goal gare them a touchdown.

Ileagor kicked goal. In the last quarter Green returned a punt 00-yards to tho I' rank 10-yard line, and a fake pass put the ball over. Reagor again kicked goal.

It has had many a glowing conversation over the French champion socially, financially and otherwise. It doesn't know single thing bad about the visitor from IMcardy but the mention of his name calls up a big question mark lu "everybody's mind. Newspapers have printed column after column of matter about the Gorgeous one nnd have reproduced his pictures until every schoolboy knows him belter man they know the gentleman who presides at the White House. The name of Carpentter suggests a vivid picture wherever It is mentioned.

So we have ucciueu mat ueorges ib Johnny Evers Weighed Only 105 Pounds and Cubs Refused to Allow Him to Ride in Same Bus With Them to Ball Park. On the night of August 31, 1002. a lenn, undersized lnd In his late teens left Troy, N. bound for Philadelphia, where ho had received Instructions to report to Frank Selee's Chicago Cubs, who wero playing ln the town of Billy I'onn. After riding all night In stuffy smoker, the youngster arrived in Phlllle on Labor Day morning.

It was tbe first time be had ever been in a major, league town. Ho went down to the Bingham nouse In Philadelphia, where the Cubs wero stop-pi. nnd reported to 8eleo. "I'm tbe new Inflelder from Troy," he announced. Tbe youngster weighed only 105 poundB and when the other Chicago players learned thnt he had been engaged to play an Infield position they didn't know whether to laugh or get sore.

It wasn't very easy for a youugstor to break in In those dayB, but when the kid happened to bo only hundred-pounder the sledding was still tougher. They hnd a Labor Day parade In Philadelphia on tho morning of September 1. 1001 and Instead of flaying tbe usual morning and afternoon games, a double-header was put on In tho afternoon. When the Chicago players dressed and got into the old-fashioned two -horse bus which wits to take them out to the park the veteran Cubs refused to let the rookie ride in the bus with them, but made him ride alone on top of the vehicle. One may imagine the thoughts of this boy as he bounced around on tho roof of this bus, listening to the cruel luughter of the players Inside, When the plnyers lined up ror practice Selce sent the little fellow to short.

He ovcrbenrd Taylor, tbe old-time pitcher, remark to the Cuh leader: "You'll be held reppnnsluio it tnai Kin gets nun. And then the little fellow's Jaw snspped. He'd Bhow these old birds something. And he had oulte Jaw to snap, for tho rookie we refer to wob Johnny J. Evers, Troy's most famous citizen.

Evers never had seen a big league ball player until that Labor Pay afternoon. He had pretty bad ense of butter finger in his first big league game, but man aged to get eight of his ten chances- At ot he mnde one hit, drew a base on balls and struck out. Faced I)oo WhiU Fint- Hoc White, the left-hnnder, who later pitched for the While Sox while Rvera was at the height of his career with the Cubs, wan the first big league pitcher that Johnny fared. Dusty Ithoadcs, who later starred with Cleveland In the Amerirnn League, was Chteogo's pitcher In game. In the serond game of tbe double-header Jivers batted against Chick Fraier, who later 'became a member of the Cubs.

it Im Interesting now to look back to Kvcrs' first big league box score and note that he broke In us shortstop. Joe Tinker played tnini imsn in tue same game.

Shortly after tbe 1003 season opened Scleo stationed Evers permanently nt second base, and it wasn't long afterward that the midget Trojan became one of the moat talked of players In baseball. He batted .203 In his first complete season with tbe Cubs. Evers was born ln Troy, on July 23, 1883, and started to piny baseball short ly after be was able to talk.

At eight he captained a kid team and later played on school and amateur teams, and six teen he got up a city amateur league. He always was bundle of nerves and a live wire. Cost Giants tt Flag. On the strength of his amateur showing In Troy, he was signed by the Troy team of tho New York State League In 1002, He then weighed only PS pounds. He took on ten more pounds by tbe time that be Joined the Cubs in the fall of 1002, but never weighed more than 130 pounds at any time ln his playing career.

Even after three years of Idleness Johnnie has picked up little weight, and weighs only 100 pounds today. Little need be added of Evers' career. No more picturesque or aggressive player ever stepped on baseball diamond. There never was a player with a quicker brain or ono who excelled him lu taking advoji. tage of all opportunities.

He was a base-bull opportunist It there was one. The famous pluy of l(H)8, in which bo detected MerHe's failure to touch second base, costing the tilanls pennant, Is only the most outstanding of a series of brilliant inulde plays. He played on five National League championship team and on three of the sU National League teams thut have won world's championships from the American League. And who will deny that the little ion-pounder who was forced to ride out lo Phllly park on tho top of the bus ou that Lnbor Day afternoon eighteen years ago was the vital spark of all these clubs.
