Line plunging was next to impossibly for the slightest tap on the wrist was likely to upset even Slices and Hard-age, who usually keep their feet In splendid style.

J. MACBETH. NEW YORK, Sept. a big league poot our old friend, John Milton, hit about .600. or thereabouts.

He had a grout assortment of curves, speed and change of pace. But ho never slipped anything over the plate more apt than his famous passage: "They also serve who only stand and wait" The unveiled future must have-opened to give John a glimpse of Harry McCor-mick as Inspiration for that lino. "Mush the Mooso" stands forth as the epitome of that sentiment. Big, congenial Mac has done considerable standing and' considerable waiting this season, but he has nevertheless served tho Giants cause as well as Mathewson, Tesreau or Marquard. That's putting Jt very strong.

In many rospects McCarmlck is one of tho most remarkable characters of tho national pastime. He defies every law of athletic fate. He is by far the most remarkable "come-back" on the present 'generation. Volumes havo been written about Jimny Callahan and Mike Don-lln; yet more remarkable than the story of either is the return of McGraw's great pinch hitter. Either Callahan or Donlln Is a Mercury compared to McCormlck.

Speed is one of the first attributes of modern baseball. Either of the accepted "come-tKick" twins can beat out a hit now and thon by slapping It slowly toward some Inllelder. McCormlck never. He has to swat It where thoy "ain't." His only virtues are unerring eyesight and the physical powers of execution. Both Callahan and Donlln were favored far above McCormlck in their efTorts to return to big league fame.

As a matter of fact, Callahan -was never out of base-hall. Whtlo an "outlaw," he played semi-pro, ball constantly in and around Chicago, It was simply a case of dropping out of the big show as a man in minor league company, Donlln's lot was a trifle harder. In the show business ho was separated more or less from Ills first love. But ho was almost always associated one way or another with the game that mado him famous. Advertising purposes made It necessary for him to keep his hand In.

Knocking about major league cities during tho summertime, Mike would get out in the mornings wherever he happened to be and mingle with tho fraternity. It wasn't real practice, but It was better than nothing. When Harry McCormlck knocked off at tho close of the season of 1909 he apparently knocked off for good. For two years he didn't take a ball in his fist. He devoted his entire attention to commercial lines.

He hod evidently outlived his usefulness tun a major league assot. No one. made any fuss over his departure, not even McGraw. Iast spring Harry McCormlck made application for rein a AUBURN DEFEATED ILOMII ELEVEN Game Was Walkover for the Col-v lege Boys, Score Thirty to Nothing. AUBURN, Sept.

the first game of the season played by Auburn against a former Auburn star line-up from the alumni. Auburn had a walk-away In a drizzling rain and very muddy field. They won by a score of 30 to 0. Throughout the game Auburn showed team work, Montgomery showed up poorly the first half. Tho feature of tlic game was a touchdown In second half by Taylor of Auburn on a forward pass by Montgomery.

Naturally, It makes the Commodores look pretty good' on paper to rray that Ktioy opened the season by breaking a record with only two weeks practice, (much of which was done In very hot weather and before a number of the I Varsity men had arrived. Nevcrthe-f leas. It was not a Breat victory. Bothal was lamentably weak on defense and on the offense they did come within li ailing distance of a first down. But tor all that, some of those Bethel men, notably Captain Cody, played gritty football.

Their main trouble was lack of unity in action. They were I not well tramed along football lines, although physically, thoy seemod never to be In distress. HEAVY DOWNPOUR. The game yesterday was scheduled to begin at 3:30 o'clock. At 3:16 a torrential rain began and poured Itself on Dudley field for fully twenty minutes.

There wero sheets of water covering- many square yards at frequent Intervals over the field at the first, kick-off and this condition was but. little relieved throughout. Though the day was ideal for dolntr something besides attending a football game, there was a better crowd out yesterday to seo the first game than has appeared at an Initial perform nee In years. There seemed to be a great deal of Interest among the football en -thufltasts, which though not given to verbally on many occasions, was necessarily there, or there would been no attendance at an. RAPID SCORING.

Bethel won the toss and choose to receive the kick-off at the north eni the field. After two futile at- Wemots into the line and one around -the end; Bethel punted to Vanderbilt. On the first scrimmage, Wilson Collins shot around his opponent's right wing for forty-five yards and the first touchdown. Time, about a minute. "Almost before It could be realized, the ball was kicked oft given to Collins and an end run and he again flew across the damp lines for his second touchdown.

After that terrible opening assault, it was apparent that the only Interest in the game would be the work of the -new men and the amount of score heaped up. Though the ball was wet, muddy arid hard to handle, the Commodores worked a host of forward passes which bewildered the Bethel boys nearly out of their wits. They did not seem to Ttnow what to do when they had the chance, for on three different occasions, Vanderbilt's forward passes went directly Into thp hands of Bethel players and each time, tho man merely slapped it to the i ground instead of catching It. Soon after Vanderbilt had made twenty odd points, McGugin began to yank his regulars outj of tho line-up. -Ho used substitutes during the greater part of the Same and as usual, tho subs did as well as the regulars, mainly, -ofcourse, because the thing had been started and all they had to do, was run, the fray had been won in the first few minutes.

ROBINS GOOD WORK. Rabbi Robins, who replaced Curlln at quarterback, did some spectacular wading. He proved -to bp mud-horso de luxe. On one occasion he received a kick-off. on his own 30-yard lino and by skating, side-stepping and dodging managed to elude the wholo Bethel team, making the entire distance of seventy yards to the goal line.

Daves showed all kinds of charging power and continually broke through the line, carrying the runner back far for a loss. Ho made wide holea In the line, too, for his own men to pass through. Reyer, the former Wallace School boy, was shoved In at tackle and played brilliant football. He also broke through many times. tA one time when Bethel hod the ball, he went through three times In sucesslon and caught tho quarterback before he was ablo to make the pass.

On one of Vanderbilt's punts, the ball was muffed in Bethel's back field, Reyer, who was following it closely, snatched It up and ran for a touchdown- Chester played at halfback during the absence of Captain Hardage for the Commodores. He was not given a chance to run from his position, but ho napped a pair of forward passes, one of which he carried for forty yards and a touchdown, and the other he made twenty-five yards. A STAR. Captain Cody, left tackle for the Bethel team, was about eight hundred per cent above tho average of his teammates. He Is a real football player and Jf he had been working on a strong team instead of one which wag being run over at will, ho would have done some tearing up.

As it was, he gave the Commodores forwards opposite him, all thoy wero looking for, In fact more. After tho first few minutes of play Vanderbilt was not expecting much of a fight from any quarter, but Cody was always In the thick of tho mlxup. He made about fifty per cent of the tackles for his team and carried tho ball a number of times. He wns not oble to gain ground, but he was glvon no support In the way of holer-opening and blocking. There Is one thing to be said of the entire Bethel team they all gave the best they had.

They are not bunch of quitters and though tho score wa3 ridiculously large, they took their defeat like sportsmen and fought to the best of their knowledge and ability. -V ANDY'S BLOCKING. As Dr. Manler remarked the other day: ''A man often goes through a year without being able to block at all, and then next season, he seems vo be able to block as well as anybody. That was the case with the regular Vanderbilt bnckfield yesterday, slkes, Hardage and Collins were all a little off color last year at blocking, that Is compared to their other work.

Yesterday there was a different story. They blocked and did it so effectively that they rarely missed an intended Their blocking system has been greatly Improved since they have been, taught the body block. The ctoao spectator of the game might have noticed, If he looked at anything except the man with the ball, that Bethel men were constantly knocked off their feet. On the kicks-off, the Commodore's forward laid many of the would-be tacklers of Bethel low, by their good blocking. This materially assisted the runners and enabled them to make long gains, where otherwise they would havo made about half the distance.

THE NEW RULES. Those who did not sec tho game yesterday, will wonder what kind of a game it was. Well, tfhe result of that game yesterday, told about as little of the new rules at la would bo possible to Imagine. No one would have known that tho nw rules were in vogue If It had not beenV lor.uie occasional ract tnat Bethel took the limit of four downs before punting. Vanderbilt punted several times, but always on the third down.

The men were afraid of a hltch in. tho proceedings on account of tho wet grounds. Vanderbilt took advantage of the end zone- once yesterday, when a short forward pass was made to Dale MnrrUnn for a touchdown. He caught the ball Just on the line. Speaking of forward passes, it might be noted that Lewis Hardage was Just as accurate with the wet ball, as lie was with a dry one.

His main trouble was not with him, but with his ends, who couldn't get down the fiold fast enough on account of the wot ground. Before closing this watery narrative a- word about the Tho quarters wero originally nine minutes each, but by agreement, subsequently the last two were reduced two minutes each. That made a total playing time of thirty-two minutes. During that time Vanderbilt scored 105 points, or nearly three and one-third 'points mlnte, which in tho language of the silver-tongued orator, was cnlni unmo. The line-up: Vanderbilt.

Even lUcGraw didn't take a tumble.

figures that ho would not stand In the light of tho big fellow making a livelihood. McGraw probably figured on using McCormlck. in somo sort of trade. There did not scorn to be tho ghost of a chance of tho battle-scarred veteran catching on against such an array of outfield talent as tho Lift la Napoleon mustered. Anyhow, McCormlck was ordered to report to MarlJn.

He brought with him llttlo more than his batting eye. But ho showed that he not forgotten how to sting tho ball. In batilng nklll tho old fellow started right In where ho had left off two years before. And ho. mado such a flno impression In tho southland that McGraw forgot all about any notions of turning him loose.

McCormlck, who could qualify for a regular berth if his legs wore sound, Is ono of the slowest runners in the game. He cams every hit. And New York pays well for the labor. He is a hitter of approved type; his record shows that. So far this season McCormlck hns figured In thirty-six games.

In all that time be has been to bat Just thirty-flvo times. He has scored four runs, delivered twelve hits for a total of sixteen bnses and an average of and has stolen one base that on the soft end of a double pilfer. Outside the luscloud batting average, McCormlck's work may not be very Impressive. But it tyrlfleJi a season of work well done. mi ESTATE DEPT.

where the thing can be adapted to feminine standards of entertainment. Even the ladies coulu steel themselves to the spectacle an ordinary boxing contest affords, there Is tho probabllty that their presence would lncrcsso rather than temper the onslaught of the pugilists. It's a poor man that doesn't like to bo seen at his very best when tlic ladles aro looking on, and by this token a fighter who under ordinary circumstances 'might not be regarded as a glutton for punishment would put up with quite a battering rather than strike his colors while watched by female eyes. All things considered, the sport of boxing had better bo left to the men, or else dlHcontlnued altogether, In bis new departure Mcintosh can scarcely claim originality. They tried to mako a specialty of feminine patronuga In London at one If the cable told the truth, there were as many coronets as cauliflower ears at one Queens-berry ussemblnge In England's capital last year.

Either the innovation had a contrary effect to the one desired or the supply uf boxers gave out, for there has not been a high-grade glove contest In London for with Interest. If his now scheme thrlvos. the boxing show girl of tho future may class with the horse show girl of tno past. Then the edltorcsses of the ladies columns will be expected to furnish bints as to correct costumes for Queenberry matinees. And in the meantime it looks as though a lady patron of Mcintosh's temple of thumpologv, will have to acquire purfect pose in order to enjoy fisticuffs and the cup that cheers at one and the same time.
