THE BIRMINGHAM NEWS, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 19 1 3 THREE Mrs. George Haskell, of Chicago, Wins Consolation Championship Cup. Preas; Fielder and Montague Star. Gene. Patten Not in Game.

AFTER PARTICIPATING in football, baseball, tennis and golf a multitude of athletes cret into bed last night and sighed, Nothing to do till tomorrow. Verily, yesterday was a' gala one in the realm of sports. Baseball raged in the American and National Leagues. Football was on the menu for almost every college in existence. Golf held the interest of many at Brookline, and Memphis, and a number of tennis games of prominence were staged over the country.

If there had been anything more happening in the sport line we would have said so. All the big colleges took the measure of the little ones as it was expected they would and not one of the little fellows could even score on the major squads. Although Howard was bested by the Crimson and White the Baptists put up a game fight and though defeated won a signal victory. The game at Auburn with the Montgomery stars failed to materialize as per schedule. Photo by Birmingham View Company.

Jack Coombs, of the Athletics, equalled Adams record of winning three straight in the 1910 series, hilt he was lucky. Although he beat the Cubs every time he tolled against them, Chance's men slammed Coombs's offerings vh lously.

In an unusually Rood same the University of Alabama defeated Howard Col-legq by the score of 27 to 0 Saturday afternoon on the University campus. One of the touchdowns was on a fluke play, ihe Birmingham collegians made a surprisingly good showing. Although weighing but ICO, fully ten pounds less than Alabama, the Howard men charged and' bucked lines unusually well for a light team and their working of fTfS forward pass was one of the features of the game. Time and again they made gains by this method and Alabama broke the passes only a few times. Tisdale, Glass and Duke for Howard did especially well In those plays.

Robinson was the other star for Howard. Alabamas best strength could not- be judged as many changes In the line-up were mudq. ForiAlabama Hog "Vande-graff starred, plunging through the Howard line. Joplin Plays Good Game. One of the most sensational plays of the game was the Jtwenty-five yTfTd run around end by Toxy Sewell of Alabama.

Alabama Bhowed herself strong in her offensive work, but somewhat weak In her defense. The boys from Howard, While never seriously endangering the Alabama goals, gave the local collegians several exhibitions of good bucking and Interference. Their forward passing was excellent.

HARVARD LADS BLANK MAINE AGGREGATION CAMBRIDGE, Sept. 27. In a day more adapted to baseball than football Harvard defeated the University of Maine, 84 to 0. Harvard went Into the game minus Hardwick and Willetts.

The work of Maine was a disappointment. They fumbled the ball time and time again and the interference was poor. Harvard showed mtdseason form, the work of Mahan being brilliant, while Dtickley's work was more of his usual high order. O'Brien, Hitchcock and Storer played hard and fast. Neither team disclosed any of tho new open plays excepting an occasional forward pass, which did not materialize for either side.

E. K. Perryman, the preacher-pitcher from Emory College at Oxford, who was signed last Spring by the Giants, was today signed by the Crackers for next season. Order Today The dope will speak And tell of Collin And rap a few at And say the Rube And laud the name And gently call I The year of nineteen When the Giants But when for a sure Rememberhowflck THE HOWARD College boys did themselves proud In their game with the University of Alabama yesterday and deserve praise. We had predicted that the Graves squad would win by five touchdowns to nothing.

The Baptists cut this down by one touchdown, and the Tuscaloosa eleven Is forced to concede the Birmingham youngsters put up a good game. Birmingham Is always anxious to see the Howard boys put up good contests, and local supporters of athletics ask only that the Baptists give them the goods. Howard, notwithstanding Its limited student body from which to pick em, Is rated In athletic circles as the leader of secondary teams In the State. It Is not to be expected that the Blr-tists will beat the University and Auburn, but they can give the teams representing these State schools good games, and they do. The Howard boys have won fame as fighters they never quit and any city can be proud of a little school with such enthusiasm and determination.

Conch Noojin has a likely bunch of young lightweights this year, and unless bad luck overtakes them, they will be In the running all season. Birmingham Is always patriotic enough to stand by a local 'earn, and It will be with the Baptists Just as long as they fight It out, as they are doing against heavy odds. JUST LET another week slip by like the past one and we can say: I told you so." Many scornfully laughed when ws predicted that Cobb would beat Jackson by fifteen points for the seasons batting honors. Today we find that Cobb Is not only fifteen points ahead of the Jackson boy hut has one point to spare. Of course the season Is not over yet, hilt Is so near you can't hardly tell the difference and Cobb bids fair to maintain this lead or even climb higher as he Is going great guns and then some at the present writing.

Yesterday he was at bat seven times and registered six blngles going at an 837 clip for the day in two games. Josephus stepped to the plate seven times and registered but twice. This gives the Curollna boy an average of 285. Trls Speaker, who promised to be a prominent factor a week ago Is now a bad fourth, Henrlckson having passed him. It surely looks as If we made a good guess on the outcome.

AND IN THE meantime another thing happened that must have Indeed been a bitter dose for one Joseph Birmingham, the man who broke out of college and went to pulling mam COLLINS CROWDED and $5 Friends In Old Me such big stunts as a manager. While the Naps lost two to Detroit the Washington were playing the same bill with another company. The Senators passed the Naps and went Into second place on the strength of this. This Is one time that Walter Johnson is not to thank either. The Detroit Tigers are the heroes that pulled the stunt and pushed the Senators Into second place.

Another week with the teams as they stand at present and another one of our little theories will bloom Into a full grown fact. MIKE DOOLAN pulled a favorite stunt of Tyrus Raymond yesterday and climbed Into the stands handing an insulting fan a cross between a half-Nelson and a right hook. The act nearly caused a riot but the scrappy little Irishman stood hts ground without a flinch. Now the penalty for this will probably be a suspension that will continue over into next season. Cobb got suspended and It Is reasonable to suppose that Mike will share a like fate.

And, yet. It Is unjust. Just because a fellow Is a ball player, is no sign that he Is not a human being and It Is time that something is done to quell the insulting remarks of some rough-neck fans. If the Commission does not protect a player how In the world do they expect him to be protected unless he makes a potato patch of some fellows face and leaves hint as an example for other followers of the rougher element to look upon. It happened right here at ltlck wood and In any other ball park In the world.

We have seen some of the Barons Insulted and forced to take It In fear of suspension. There should be some remedy for this evil. IT IS announced that Branch Rickey has no relation whatever with Gin Rickey. This being the case, Branch should make good as new manager of the Browns. No, we don't believe we will put It that strong, but venture to say that he will do more towards making good than his predecessors.

PLANK Is certainly shoving In his youngsters Into the line-up these days. Harly a veteran on the program. Hardly a veteran on the pro his Initial appearance In the outfield. Houck was found for eleven safeties and Houck Is scheduled to work at least one game in the big series. His performance yesterday gives the Athletics' chances another black eye.

Officers Believe One is Relative of Mrs. Collars Husband. ADAMSVILLE, Sept. 27. Arrests In connection with the gagging and binding of Mrs.

H. Collar, a young vvhlto woman, In Aer home here Friday by two masked men, who made their escape In an automobile after being tightened away, are expected at any time. The name of a member of a family njated tu Mrs. Collars husband Is mentioned as being one of the men. Alarmed by her muffled screams and the cries of the woman's young children, the two men dropped the body of Collar after they had started from the house.

They then hastened to their automobile nearby nnd made their escape before neighbors rould be summoned. One of the men dropped a handkerchief In the flight, and this has furnished a clue upon wnlcli officers base their belief that they know one of ttie men. Mrs. Collar will not make a statement In connection with the case. It Is believed the men were attempting to kidnap the woman, who Is regarded as unusually pretty.

It lg thought she pte-fers to torglve and protect the guilty men rather than ex-pose them and cause family troubles and probuhly court proceedings. HE QUITS DIRT TRACKS KALAMAZOO, Sept, 27.
