■P PUTS 0N E 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. Camp Lauds New Rules. ■Mr Camp declares that the new football rules have proved their worth beyond a doubt.

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. THE ATT.ANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1912. 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 MOBILE, ALA., Dec. 5. —Secretary Charles Z. Colsson, of the Mobile Southern league baseball club, is re ported to have closed a deal in New Orleans for the purchase of a slightly 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, ARE AFTER JOHN GANZEL NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—John Ganzel, leader of the Rochester team, in the In ternational league, is said to have received an offer from Frank Farrell, of the New- 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.

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 'vjx MARTIN MAY X" ' 19y 2 PEACHTREE STREET UPSTAIRS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL UNREDEEMED PLED6ES > FOR SALE A 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. Here’s the Youngest Marathon Wanner t X '•'s! ■ ■ was 1 ' yP I I _.
