Bully Vandegraaff Again a Star, BY ZIPP NEWMAN. The Carlisle Indians brought to a close the most successful football season in the history of the game in Birmingham Wednesday at Rickwood Park when they scalped the University of 'Alabama eleven by the count of 20 to 3.

Had the Indians kept the pace they started out with yesterday it would have been a massacre, but the boys from the university 'soon found themselves, but not until after they had been rolled jn the dust for twenty points. Alabama could offer little resistance to the criss-crosses, forward passes and fake kick formations in the first half, letting the big Redskins run over them at will. IT IS NOW beginning to look like organized ball must do tbe "Good Samaritan- act and look after the Federal League outcab ho failed to shine with the brilliance expected of them in that circuit last season. Mr. Gilmore, uho presidents and pres agents toi the outlaws, has come out with the statement that the Federal clubs will cut their limit to twenty players tor the coming season and that no club will be allowed to carry more than this number on the payroll.

Considering the fact that there were about thirty-five or forty on each roster last season and that reports have it that a goodly number will jump to the Feds this Fall, this means that there will be about 100 ball players without a plaee to call their home when the reveille is sounded along about sap-rising time.
