WESTERNER ON
MM
O_\! Y one Western player—
Butzer. of Wisconsin—occupies
a ~lace on the 1912 all-Amer
f f otball team picked by Walter
. 'amp of Vale, and P ublished in the
. urr ,-at issue of Collier’s. The
-rldiron dean gives the star Badger
„ ema n one of the tackle positions,
nd , r oles the Western fans by
placing three of their favorites on
the third eleven.
Xorgren, of Chicago, at halfback;
Ho-’ff' l of Wisconsin, at end, and
/i.-key, of lowa, at tackle, are the
Westerners chosen for the second
segregation, while Shaughnessy, of
Minnesota, is the only player of the
Mississippi valley region to get
recognition on the third team. The
latest all-American team, accord
ing to Camp, offers one of the
itrongest combinations ever picked.
The Vale expert, who has seen
many of 1912 games, and figured
the rankings down to a fine point,
declares that the choice of stars
,as particularly hard this year.
Following Is his comment on the
team Anally selected:
BomcWar, of Yale, at one end,
an d Felton, of Harvard, on the
other; Ketcham, of Yale, at the
middle of the line, guarded by Pen
nock. of Harvard, and Logan, of
Princeton, with a pair of tackles
in Englehorn, of Dartmouth, and
Butzer of Wisconsin, the former
one of the most aggressive men on
the gridiron this season, and the
latter tremendously powerful and
experienced. We should have a
line that would take a lot of beat
ing.
Crowther at Quarter.
"With a backfield consisting of
Brickley, of Harvard; Thorpe, of
Carlisle; Mercer, of Pennsylvania,
driven and handled by that little
star, Crowther, of Brown, the elev
en would be a close match for any
former all-American team.”
The second eleven also puts
forward a formidable machine with
Very, of Penn State, and Hoeffel,
of Wisconsin, at the ends; Probst,
of Syracuse, and Trickey, of lowa,
at the tackles; Cooney, of Yale, and
Kulp, of Brown, at the guards;
Parmenter, of Harvard, at center;
Pazzetti, of Lehigh, at quarterback:
Norgren, of Chicago, and Morey, of
Dartmouth, at the halves, and Wen
dell. of Harvard, at fullback.
The third eleven consists of Ash
baugh, of Brown, and Jordan, of
Bucknell, at the ends; Shaughnes
sy, of Minnesota, and Devore, of
West Point, at the tackles; Ben
nett. nf Dartmouth, and Brown, of
Annapolis, at the guards; Bluthen
thal, of Princeton, at center; Bacon,
f Wesleyan, at quarter; Hardage,
of Vanderbilt, and Baker, of
Princeton, at the halves, and Pum
pelly. of Yale, at fullback. Five
Harvard men. four Yale men and
three Princeton players are on the
three teams.

Does Comiskey Appreciate Work
Os Ed Walsh? Just Read This
By Bill Bailey.
CHICAGO. Dee. 5. —Charles A.
Comiskey, owner of the
White Sox, did not give Ed
Walsh, his' star pitcher, $1,500 at
the conclusion of the post-season
series between the South Siders
and the Cubs.
Mr. Comiskey did not give the
big pitcher a cent. You are shock
ed? Be not so. There are mem
bers of the Walsh family aside
from the big pitcher. Oh. I know
you never heard of them. But
Charles A. Comiskey has. And this
isn’t a story of what Charles A.
Comiskey did not do, but one of
what he did.
And he didn’t forget the Walsh
family.
Instead of handing Edward, the
pitcher, $1,500, he presented the
two sons of the twirler with $1,500
each. Making a total of $3,000.
Now, are you shocked? Os course,
you are not. If the Old Roman
happened to present the Walsh
family with $50,000 you would not
be surprised. But if he had failed
to present said family with some
token of his esteem you would be.
That’s because the Old Roman Is
expected to give. Which means to
show his appreciation.
Walsh Works Often.
It happened like this:
Edward Walsh pitched about
every other day during the regular
season and when it came to the
series for the championship of Chi
cago he worked about twice in ev
ery three days. That may not be
accurate, but it gives you the im
pression that Walsh worked fre
quently. Which is the truth and
the idea at the same time. Well,
when six games in the city series
had been played to a decision and
the seventh was scheduled, Mr.
Walsh was called upon. That was
quite unnecessary. It would have
required more than the moral per
suasion of Manager Callahan and
the physical strength of “Kid”
Gleason to have kept him off the
mound.
Walsh went to the slab and when
the game was over the White Sox
had sixteen runs and the Cubs were
GERMANS BET 8 MILLION
ON PONIES LAST SEASON
BERLIN, Dec. s.—Local newspapers
point with some exhibition of pride to
the fact that bets on Berlin’s four race
courses during the season recently
closed totaled roundly $8,000,000, which
is an increase of $250,000 over 1911.
The statistics are made possible be
cause of the fact that all bets on the
race tracks are made through an offi
cial totalizator betting machine. The
bookmaker is an unknown personage
on the Teuton turf.
Sixteen and two-thirds per cent of all
the money which passed through the
totalizator goes to the state, so the
Prussian treasury rakes in the tidy sum
of $1,350,000 as its share of the fruits
of Berlin’s gambling passion. Most bets
were placed on the hurdle races. Flat
racing and trotting seem to be losing
favor with the bettors.
K. C. MILLIONAIRE PLANS
RACE TRACK OF HIS OWN
KANSAS CITY. MO.. Dec. s.—Miss
Txmla Long, daughter of R. A. Long, a
millionaire of this city, announced to
day that her father will build a private
racing plant to cost $500,000 on his
I. farm near this city. A half
mile race track will be made and the
infield will be fitted up for polo. The
plans include a large tanbark arena,
where Miss Long, who Is prominent in
horse show circles, expects to exercise
her horses. A large country house will
be built on the place. Miss Long said
the improvements would be completed
early next summer.
LONDONERSPLANFOR
50-MILE RUNNING RACE
LONDON, Dec. s.—The Finchley
Harriers, a London club, will stage a
50-mile running race in their sports at
the. Stamford Bridge grounds on Whit
Monday in 1913. The running record
for this distance. 6:18 2-5. is hold by
J. E. Fowler-Dixon, now president of
the London Athletic club.

without one. That clinched the
championship. Naturally the boss
of the White Sox felt good. It was
scarcely to be expected that the
players and the officials of the club
would remain in hiding that even
ing. They did not. They visited a
case on the South Side which has
come to be looked upon as a sort of
a Sox headquarters. There was a
dinner, of course, and the big
pitcher and the owner of the South
Side team were present.
Gives Walsh’s Sons $3,000.
There were many courses. Also
many toasts. The big pitclier sat
next to the Old Roman and the
more the master of the Sox talked
the broader became the grin of the
pitcher. Those things will out.
Somebody said something about
the “Walsh kids.” The next mo
ment it was generally known about
the board that President Comiskey
had presented the “Walsh kids”
with $3,000. That amount was to
be split between them.
That’s the truth of the Comiskey
appreciation of the Walsh spirit,
the Walsh arm and the various at
tributes which made Walsh of al
most inestimable value to the White
Sox team last year.
The story is scarcely as pictur
esque as the one that has been go
ing the rounds. This is to the ef
fect that before that final game was
played the master of the Sox
called his star pitcher to the office
and remarked thusly:
“Edward, the eyes of the world
are upon you today. Upon that
good right arm of yours depends
the chances of your team mates in
this, the deciding struggle, of a
wonderful series.
Makes Big Ed Offer.
“Go out and pitch as you never
pitched before. , If victory crowns
your effort and the lads who wear
the white hose are returned the
conquerors, you may draw upon me
for 1,500 simoleons. But if you fail,
catch the first train for
Conn.”
No, it was the other way. All
Comrny said was: “Ed, here’s $3,000
for the kids. It’ll pretty near edu
cate them. And I hope you make
it necessary for me to give you that
much more next year.”
VANDY-AUBURN DATE
SURE TO BE CHANGED
BIRMINGHAM, ALA., Dec. s.—lt is
practically a sure thing that Auburn
and Vanderbilt will meet again next
jear in football, but hardly on the Sat
urday before Thanksgiving day. It is
doubtful if Auburn can ever be per
suaded to play a game on this date
again, after what Georgia did to them
this Thanksgiving.
The second Saturday before Thanks
giving is suggested for the Auburn-
Vanderbilt game. This will give both
colleges a chance to recuperate in time
for their Thanksgiving games with
their old rivals.
Birmingham fans believe their town
is the logical place for the plaving of
the game.
They say that the Auburn students
came up on a special train, and that it
would have been no more expensive for
the Vanderbilt students to have done
likewise. To play the game in Nash
ville, they say, would prevent the Au
burnites from attending, and In playing
the game in Birmingham nothing more
is asked of Vanderbilt than of Auburn
students.
MOBILE MAY PURCHASE
2D-HAND GRANDSTAND

used steel grandstand to take the place
of the old wooden stand that has been
doing service at Monroe park since the
club got into Class A company a few
years ago.
YANKS, SO RUMOR SAYS,

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—John Ganzel,

York Americans, to manage the team in
1913.
CALIFORNIAFRR
YEARS TRIES TO
WINTITLE
By Ed. \V. Smith.
CALIFORNIA'S dream of one day
having the lightweight boxing
crown worn by a real native son
has been realized to the fullest. True,
it was a foul punch that caused the
shift in ownership, but the shift is there
just the same, and everybody on the
coast is happy—that is, everybody who
believes in California.
It has taken years of trying for the
Golden State to attain Its end —years
of developing and scheming. And Cal
ifornia has produced some of the great
est of the world’s lightweights.
The nearest previous effort toward
dragging down the lightweight title
came when Jimmy Britt, once amateur
champion, became a star professional
and fought Battling Nelson for what
was then termed the “white lightweight
championship,” a mongrel title that
carried little prestige, since Joe Gans
then was in the heyday of his success,
and it was generally conceded that the
“old master” was easily the daddy of
them all in the division.
List Is a Long One.
Britt licked Nelson once, or rather
got a decision over him, and seemed
then to be the best of the white men.
But he tackled Gans and lost in the
fourth round when his ulna bone was
cracked —or so they said. That was
California’s best previous effort.
But just glance through the list of
good lightweights that the Pacific coast
has produced and you will wonder that
the state never came closer to annexing
the honors of the division. Just a hasty
mental resume of the last few years
calls to mind such names cf sterling
young battlers as Toby Irwin, Frank
Picato, Johnny Murphy, Johnny and
Tommy McCarthy, Lew Powell, Aurelia
Herrera. Eddie Hanlon. Spider Kelly,
Anton Legrave, Dick Hyland, Frankie
Burns, Johnny Frayne, “One-Round”
Hogan, and last but by no means least,
the little Mexican, Jose Rivers.
Ritchie the Lucky One.
This doesn’t take into account the
one man of all. who. springing up like
a fungus growth just a year ago, came
through in a single year and won the
title. Hls name is Willie Ritchie, and,
while at a glance one wouldn’t say that
he is better than some of the other Cal
ifornians who aspired to the title, it
must be admitted that he has it on all
of the others in one single point. He
delivered.
As we expected, Willie is going to
lower the bars a trifle and not be so
confounded compunctious about the
weight as the two previous holders of
the title were. Willie doesn’t say so
actually, but it is likely that he will let
the lightweights in hereafter at 133
pounds, the weight to be made several
hours before sighing time.

McGoorty-Gibbons Go So Bad
An Investigation Is Demands;
NEW 'YORK, Dec. 5. —Disap-
pointed fight fans today de
manded that the state box
ing commission make an investiga
tion into the McGoorty-Gibbons
fiasco staged in Madison Square
Garden last night.
The ten-round bout with the
middleweight championship at
stake, billed as "the great fistic
battle of a decade,” was about as
thrilling as a game of chess, and
many of the spectators, disgusted
with the stalling exhibition in the
early rounds, left the Garden, while
most of those who stayed jeered
and hooted the fighters.
Some critics declared the bout a
draw, others claimed a shade in fa
vor of McGoorty, because of his
flashy work in the last four •rounds
and because he was the aggressor
throughout the fight.
During the early rounds the bout
resolved itself into a little game of
tag, with McGoorty being “it” most
of the time and chasing the St.
Paul fighter around the ring.
It wasn’t a fight that carried
much satisfaction to anybody. Mc-
Goorty was looked on as the like
ly winner, but it was believed he
would win by a knockout. He
didn't. The Gibbons delegation
thought their man could hold his
own and win a draw verdict. He
didn’t.
There was a tremendous crowd
out —the largest in years—and they
got a bum run for their money. They
saw McGoorty punish Gibbons
steadily, but they marveled at the
clever blocking of the St. Paul
scrapper. Gibbons opened the fight
with a right and left to neck, but
McGoorty returned a hard left to
body. The St. Paul man ducked a
straight left to face and body at the
bell.
During the second round Gibbons
seemed frightened, but managed to
get a left to the chin and two
straight lefts to the face. McGoor
ty followed with left and rights to
the head, a left uppercut to the

face, a hard right to the body and a
hard left to the jaw at the bell.
Gibbons jabbed his left to the
face three times in the third round,
but McGoorty was the more effec
tive with body blows at close quar
ters. Gibbons depended much on
his foot work, and was Oliver in
dodging many blows. There was a
rapid exchange in the fifth, in
which Gibbons got the worst of
it, and in the sixth the St. Paul
man was bleeding.

CHICAGO, Dec. s.—Joseph Tinker, Cub
shortstop, will staj’ out of baseball for a
year, according to an announcement
which he authorized today Instead of
working between second and third base,
he will work between the right and left
entrances of vaudeville theaters.
Back from New York, Joe today began
looking for bookings that will enable
him to keep the wolf from the door next
summer. He did not save enough of his
earnings last summer to live through,
a whole year, he said, but he will not
play with the Cubs even if he is offered
a contract calling for $15,000 for the sea
