JR. ANNAPOLIS, Oct. ll. (Special.) Instead of being worn out and stiff from the journey they have Just completed, the Commodores stepped off their private car here tonight feeling like 2-year-olds. Not member of the party of sixteen had any complaints to make.

Evon Sherrell, the big guard Injured -n tho Kentucky State game, last Saturday, was, as he Bald; "feeling1 pretty nifty." Tho eleven was one hour late reaching Washington. It was due at 10:30, hut the Seaboard Flyer was held up forty-five minutes at awaiting the arrival of another train. The boys, that 1b, a majority of them, retired early. Coaeh McGugin, BJake and others, including members of the press, remained up late, endeavoring to get the result of the championship game from Chicago. Operators along the road made all kinds of promises as to getting the but nono of them were successful.

Therefore it was 7 this morning before the much-wanted Information was secured. Breakfast was served on the diner at 0 o'clock this morning. It was eight b.lls before anyone crawled out of the berths, all seeming to prefer sleeping. On arrival in Washington the team banded together and boarded one of the auto toilr-ing cars, spending two hours seeing Washington. The men visited the Capitol, had a look- at tho Congressional Library, postoffice, Washington's monument, the War Building and called on "Pete," the White House bull pup.

After the journey over the city tlie Commodores gathered at tha Pennsyl-vani station at 1:30 p. m. for lunc i. After this they went to the Y. M.

C. A. building, which, by the way, is one of the finest in 'the world, and donned their football togs for practice. Previous arrangements had been made for the use of George Washington Field. About one hour and "a half "was consumed' in running, signals, etc.

The men got up a good sweat, trotted back to the Y. M. C. A. and took a plunge in the big pool, after which they were ready for le forty-mile journey to Uncle Sam's Academy on the bay.

Washington was left behind at 6 o'clock, the team arriving at its destination at 7:05, supper being served immediately on arrival. The team is quartered at Calvary Hall. Judging from opinions passed around Jn Washington and here tho score is going to be a large one in favor of Annapolis. Capt Douglass says that it would not surprise him to see his men run up 30 points to Vanderbilt's 0. Tonight he frankly admits that tho Navy Is stronger than it has ever been.

He further says that the 'first eleven will play against Vanderbilt, as he wants the regulars to go through -a full game before meeting Harvard on the 19th.1 The naval snuad Is very heavy. I have just been Informed from a reliable person, who has been here all tne year, that the average weight is 179 pounds, which is about five more than the Commodores weigh. 1 Lange, who will play at quarter, Is said to be a remarkably fine man when It comes to dranninir troals from the field.

Cobb Played in Montgomery. MONTGOMERY, Ala. Oct. 11. (Special.) In 1905 a' team of ball players from Anniston came to Montgomery.

In the outfield was the fastest youngster ever seen in amateur ball. He lammed, tho ball every time it came in a mile of him and ran bases like there was no limit to the steal- "Watch that youngster," said the wise ones. That youngster was Ty Cobb, of the victorious Detroits. His career In the South Atlantic and promotion up the line are facts of history. BRANHAM HUGHES OPEN THESEAS0N TODAY SPRING HILL, Oct.

11. (Special.) The Branham Hughes team will play Us first game Saturday, as the game with Wallace scheduled for last Saturday was canceled on account of Wallace's men being crippled. The B. H. alumni, mostly composed of Vanderbilt students, will oppose their former schoolmates Saturday, 'flic three best of the alumni team are on the Vanderbilt team, the Commodore back field being composed of old Branham Hughes boys, Craig, Campbell and Morton, The present B.

H. team Is working hard and growing stronger with each day's practice, nnd will soon be able to hold its own with any prep, team in the Association. George Trigg, a member of tho 1904 championship team, is buck, and playing In old-time form. He will he a great help to tho team. Last year's team was never beaten, and from present Indications this year's team will be a shade better than las.t year's.

The muterlai is certainly good enough for a winning team. CHAMPIONSHIP IS ALSO HER'S Went the. Distance in and at Mb Time Was HerVicforylaVWatter of Doubt Led Always "and Came Home Jogging. LEXINGTON. Oct.

SECOND SCRuTteAnT UNMERCIFULLY TROUNCED COLUMBIA, Oct. 11. (Special.) C.

M. A. defeated the Vanderbilt scrub team on the Academy Field this afternoon by a score of 43 to 0, it being simply walkover for the boldiers. Vanderbilt never had a chance. They could not get through the line nor around their kicks gave no permanent gains, and thelc forward passes came to little.

On the other hand the cadets went through the visitors' line time and time again. Noal and Sowell made the star plays for C. M. though every man on the team dirt well, and It looked before the end 'of thu game that every man on the team. would make a touchdown.

After the ttrst half Neal, Sowell, Hamilton, Black and Totty, of the regular team, were withdrawn, and the subs were given an opportunity, and still the fun and runs continued. Neal made three touchdowns, Sowell three, Edwards one, and Tardy one: Tho Une-up: Vanderbilt Scrubs. C. M. A.

FIVE MILE FINAL EXCITING Local Cars Belonging to Sidney Riddell and Joe Yowell Hug Each Other for Four arid a Half Miles Small Crowd in Attendance. Nashville automobflista and some outsiders witnessed by far the greatest exhibition "of daring, and nerve ever seen over tlie historic Cumberland Park course' yesterday afternoon. Lewis Christie Strang, a youngster 21 years of age, guided his uncle's great car around the track in wonderful time and fairly astounded the crowd by his daring and skill. It was only two days ago that young Strang grasped the wheel of the record-breaker the first -time. The injuries to Walter Christie's broken arm had not healed sufficiently to permit its use, and Strang, who is known as a steady driver of stock cars In twenty-four-hour races, wub substituted for Christie.

His work on the days preceding jthe races yesterday indicated that great things 'might bo expected from his driving exhibitions against time, but those familiar with the situation did not anticipate such a wonderful drive as ho made yesterday. Jack Prlnco introduced Christie, who rode around the track with Strang at the wheel, and then the Inventor left the machine and It was warmed up at a mile a minute gait. Three local races were then run and It was announced that Strang would make a try at the record, although the turns were wet from being sprinkled too heavily. Down the stretch the giant automaton came, arousing the crowd to a high pitch of enthusiasm, and when the time was announced at 55 seconds a great shout went up from the officials, and the audience knew that some remarkable work had been done. A handicap match race between Cleve Simms' Ford and William Cummins' Olds-mobile, driven by John Green, was run while the big cur was being tilled with gasoline for its iinal spurt.

The Ford was given an eighth of a mile start, and for two miles the raco was hotly contested. On the third mile the Oldimobile passed the Ford and won by fifty yards. The officials then cleared the track of contesting machines and a few straggling spectators, A white cloth was waved Trom the Christie camp, and in an instant the roaring of the engines was heard. Thu big car circled the track once, and, waving his hand, at the head of the stretch, Si rang signified his intention to make the trial tor the record. Spurting Immense Jets of Ilame and huge clouds of black smoke from the big ex-haunts, the car shot down towards the tape like a meteor.

In his previous efforts Strang had shut off the power just before en taring the turn, but this time the throttle was kept open all the way around the turn. The oar swerved badly In the middle of tlie turn us It struck a witt spot, hut the nervy driver soon righted It up by a dexterous) twist of the steering wheel. Strang fairly tlew down the back stretch and went around the lower turn faster than ho did the upper one. Cuming Into the stretch the car seemed to turn almost side wise, but the driver was on thn and soon namo straicht fas an arrow for the wire. V.

J. Cummins, who was the chief timer, held up his watch to the officials, and It was seen that the milo had been negotiated in 54 seconds Hat. Mr. Cummins, gave Christie a signed statement as to the authenticity of the record, which Is seven seconds lower than the former track record made by Herbert Lytle In a Pope-Toledo racer two years ago. Christie stated last night that the track not in Its best condition, and that ir It had beun as smooth and as hard as It is possible to make it.

mile would have, been covered in 5" seconds or better. Strang's work at the. wheel was remarkable, and it is probable that he will be sent for records up to ten miles at Birmingham next week. In speaking to an American man last night. Christie expressed his surprise at the methods employed by the manager of Harney Oldlield, which he claimed were calculated to keep the attendance down at the meeting yesterday.

Christie charged Oldfleld- with acting in bad faith, and in directly the opposite manner in which he was treated by Christie in Pittsburg. "I will wager a thousand dollars," said Mr. Christie, "that Oldlield cannot duplicate Strang's performance on. the local track, and if Oldlield will agree to race Strang tu- myself I will wager him any part of $5,000 that lie can not beat my car. Furthermore.

1 will give him a quarter mile start, in five miles. Oldlield does not want to race my car. He is simply pursuing the tactics of an almost 'done for' professional athlete. He confessed to me in Pittsburg that he had no chance to beat me. and professed great friendship for me when uaking for and being granted a favor by nie.

Now I am repaid bv his employing the most unr.portsmnnlfkc tactics one could imagine. I am through with Oldlield. and If 1 can beg or hire him to on a track with me I will show hlfy up in the manner he begged me not to do in PitiKburg. actions Have, simply forced me to abandon every plan I have iuuv, and to" devote my efforts to wiping Mat every record ho now holds, all of them bcintt made three years ago mid not recently. Those familiar with his plan of racing know that I.

will succeed In wjp-Imr his name off every record slain." i The lack of entries in the local races OVERALL PITCHES IN FORM Ty Cobb's Three Bagger Only Redeeming Feature From Tiger StandpointJennings Is Pre!

In the first game of the, world's elm jnpionshlp on their own held, the Deti olt team was again defeated this afternoon by the Chicago Nationals to 1. It. was a well-, deserved victory for tho Chicago team, as it played superior baseball throughout.

There were several srrors of omission by Detroit, besides fielding errors. All of these figurud in the run-making. Tt was anything but ba teball weather. The temperature ranged between 46 and 50 degrees, with a ebld 25-tmtfle winti from the north blowing across the. diamond.

Several times there wertj, showers, one, while Chicago was battinsr In the fifth inning being so heavy, tha I It was necessary to stop for. fifteen minutes. Again In the seventh was a shnrp shower, but It did not last long enough, to Interfere "with the game. The attendance was a disappointment, reaching only 11,306. The raw, cold day probably had some effect, on the crowd, together with dissatlsfact Ion with the arrangements governing'tht i sale of tickets.

Detroit looked dangerc ius and hunched hits in several Innlngii. With two out Cobb's -fine three-bagger 'yas followed by two singles, O'Leary striking out! wltji the bases full. Tho p'trolt team did not show at any time -tJi'S 'snap, and dash which marked their work: the" American Leaguo race. Rossmari continued his lSno work at first base, and ttrove in Detroit only run with a single. Donovan gave but two bases on balls, 'the same number which Over-nil but both of the Detroit pitcher's passes developed into nios.

Capt. Chance, of the hScago team, was hit tha right hanc'I by an inshoot while at bat In the opening "Inning, nnd two fingers were badl crushed. The game was stopped bile they were dressed. Just before play was caf.led, at 2 o'clock. Manager Hughey Jennings was called to the plate, where Mayer Thompson presented to him a life-size floral tiger and a gold watch.

In the first Inning Sla gle- flied out, and Sheckard followed with a single, only to bo thrown: out when hu tried to reach second. Chance was hit 'with a ball, and stole 'second, but Stein feldfs fly ended the inning. Jones, the Mrst man to bat for. Detroit was given a base on balls, and Schactfer sacrificed' I him to second, but neither Crawford nor 'Cobb succeeded in getting the ball Into safe territory. Then In r.he fourth IVtroit scored Its only -run.

With two out; Cobb hit to the crowd In center for tl tree bases under the ground rules. Rossnnan followed with a single and scored bin then Coughlln singled and Schmidt walked. The crowd was on the tintou of expectancy and shouting O'Leary to clear the bases, but he struck 'out. O'Leai handled Brers'- crounder slowly In the fifth inning, tho latter reached first base, Schulte got a base on balls and Tinker advanced bt-th men with a sacrifice.
