Auburn Will Lose 4 Football
Men Next Year, But Has Some
Snappy Scrubs Coming Along
By Mike J. Donahue.
(Coach of the Auburn Football Team.)
AUBURN, ALA., Dec. 12.—Au
burn has begun to take ac
count of stock to see what
will be left for a nucleus for next
fall’s football team.
Lamb, Ressijac, Burns and Mead
ows will be gone next fall—beyond
the shadow of a doubt. Both tack
les, defensive center and fullback
are a loss to any team, and espe
cially so when these players were
the bulwarks of the Auburn foot
ball machine this year. They were
the most experienced players on
the team, of the four, Lamb is the
only one w ho has played four years
in football. He was heartbroken
after the Georgia game this year,
because it was the first losing
game with an S. I. A. A. team dur
ing his athletic career at Auburn.
The same is true of the others, but
none of them had played as long as
Lamb and did not feel it quite as
keenly. Lamb is one of the very
few players who has ever played
his full time in Auburn footbail.
Auburn's Material “Made.”
Looking over whai may be left
of the varsity and the year's scrub
team, a good idea <aay be had of
what will be available for next
year. Auburn never gets any stars
from preparatory schools or any
where else, so the teams have to be
made of whole cloth. There is one
consolation in this, in mat there
is never any disappointment over
the non-appearance of any ready
to-use football material.
Ressijac is the only loss to the
back field, and as there are a num
ber of promising youngsters v who
have just begun their development
Auburn ought to be stronger next
ELECTION OF T. J. LYNCH
COSTS JOHNSTONE’S JOB
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—There is sure to
be a vacancy in the line-up of the Na
tional league umpires now that President
Lynch has been re-elected. Jim Johnstone
declares he will not umpire in anv league
with which Lynch is connected.
The blow-off came when Fogel, in hfs
controversy .with Lynch, submitted a let
ter from Johnstone, in which the um
pire scored Lynch. Fogel sent for John
stone. but the umpire would not attend
the Investigation of the Philadelphian's
case unless ordered to by the league, and
intimated that he disliked Lynch so much
that he did not want to be in the same
room with him.
“I have been treated shamefully by
Lynch," said the umpire, in discussing his
case. . “There are some umpires who are
breaking in the league now who are get
ting much more money than I am. I have
put in a long time as an umpire, and do
not make enough now to keep my family.
‘‘As for Lynch and myself not being
on good terms, there is no doubt about
that. In fact, if Lynch were president
of the United States I would move out
of the country. Now. that is how we
stand.”
RITCHIE'S FIRST BOUT
WILL BE WITH PACKEY
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 12.—After
lightweight champion Willie Ritchie ha
cleaned up all the easy money in sight
by lining his theatrical engagements, one
of the first boxers he will meet will be
Packey McFarland.
This was the statement made by Billy
Nolan, the new champion’s manager, who
added, however, that his protege would
meet no one for at least six months. No
lan has been flooded with inquiries as to
whether Ritchi, would raise the weight
limit in the lightweight division. The
manager replied:
“We will make some of them do 133
and some of them get down only to 135.
This is the same proposition I put through
when I handled Battling Nelson."
MATTY BEAR AT CHECKERS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Christy Math

fall, at least in this department,
with such players as Newell, Ma
jor. Hart, < Tfl'lstoplier, Arnold and
Bidez. A good back field ought to
be obtainable. Their chief trou
ble this year was lack of weight,
but some of them are young and
will grow considerably in a year.
From tackle to tackle is where
Auburn suffers most. Lamb, Burns,"
Meadows and Lockwood mean
practically the whole line. Thig
pen at guard is left. Pitts and
Louisell are both liable to be back,
and in another year will make first
class players. They were good this
year, but on account of their youth
they were not able to stand the
vigorous training. They are both
active and hard workers and will
make a good pair of tackles. Cul
pepper and Esslinger are two oth-«
er promising linesmen, though of
light weight.
The ends will be well taken care
of, as K< alley. Harris, Robinson
and Faucette will all be back.
Several Scrubs Good.
There was some promising mate
rial among the scrubs this year, es
pecially Taylor. Wynne and Steed.
Taylor is a big fellow and fast
enough to play anywhere. There
is no telling just where he will fill
in next fall, except that he is sure
to be on the team. Wynne, whose
brother played with Auburn in
190 S and who has played tackle at
West Point for two years, will make
a valuable man if he does not go
to West Point, for which place he.
is headed some time or other. Steed
is a smashing player that will be
difficult to keep off the team.
Taken all in all. if those come back
who are expected, the prospects are
fair, but you can never tell in
Auburn.

TIGER CHIEF
Detroit, mich.. Dec. 12.
President Navin said that
he would not grant Ty Cobb
and Sam Crawford the advances in
salary they demanded if they both
quit baseball.
“For three or four years it has
been said in certain quarters that
Cobb and Crawford were all there
was to the Detroit team.” he said.
“That if they were taken out of the
line-up the Tigers would be a
chronic second division team. Well,
they were not taken out of tlie line
up last season, and tlie Tigers were
a chronic second division team, fin
ishing sixth. So that theory is dis
proved. And now they are both
asking for big raises. When a ball
player gets more than $5,000 lie has
passed the limit of his worth as a
ball player, and is drawing the ex
tra money for some quality which
brings it back at the gate.
“Cobb undoubtedly has n lot of
the spectacular stuff that draws the
money. But he didn’t draw it at
home last year. On our last home
stand 500 was a fair crowd, and
1,000 was a hummer. So you see it
isn’t Cobb and Crawfotd alone who
draw the money, but the fact that
the Tigers win games. When they
don't win people stay'away.
"Before a baseball club pays out
big money in salaries, it is neces
sary to take it in at the gate. We
won't pay Cobb and Crawford what
they ask. simply because we can’t.
Baseball is a business and we must
conduct it in a businesslike man
ner."

champion, and his manager. Tom Jones,

told his friends today he never would

Wolgast and Jones made several
trips to McCarty’s training quarters
before the day of the fight to see Mc-
Carty’s workouts, and on each occasion
the young Missourian seejmed to box
very carelessly.
Wolgast gave out a statement before
the first that McCarty did not even
know how to hold his hands, and pre
dicted an easy victory for Flynn.
