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 wh’at
- will be left for a nucleus for next
> fall’s football team.
■, Lamb, Ressijac, Burns and Mead
ows wIH 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-
I .Cially SO when these players were
i the bulwarks of the Auburn foot-”
i ljhl.l machine this year. Tfeey were,
the most experienced players on
the team. <if the four, Lamb is the
only one who has played four years
i in football. He was heartbroken
1 after the Georgia game this,.year,
1 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 rhe. others, blit
j pone of them had played as long as
■ lamb and did not feel- it quite its
keenly. Lamb is one of the very
few players who has ever - played
his full time in Auburn football.
Auburn's Material “Made."
Looking over what may be left,
of.the varsity and the year’s scrub
team, a good idea vnay 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 tnat there
is never any disappointment over
the non-appearance of any ready
to-use football material.
Jiexsjjac is the only loss to the
back field, and as there are a num
ber of promising youngsters who
have just'begup their development
Auburn ought to-be stronger next
ELECTION OF T. J. LYNCH
COSTS JOHNSTONE’S JOB
NEM 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 any league
with which Lynch is connected.
The blow-off came when Fogel, in his
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-
I ting much more money than I am. I have
1 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
I on good terms, there is no doubt about
1 that. In fact, if Lynch were president
i of,the United States I would iwe 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 has
cleaned up all the easy money in sight
by filling his theatrical engagements, one
of the first boxers he will meet will be
Packey McFarland.
This- was the statement made by Billy
Nolan, the uew 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 Ritchie 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 dowm only to 185.
This is the same proposition I put through
when I handled Battling Nelson.”

fall, at least in this department,
with such players as Newell, Ma
jor, Hart. Christopher! Arnold and
Bidet. A g;ood back field ought to
be obtainable. Their chief trou
ble this year' was ladk 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,
Meadow’s 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 Touth
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 Kearley, Harris. Robinson
and Faucette will all be back.
Several Scrubs Good.
There was some promising mate
rial among the scrubs thfc 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
1908 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

TIGER CHIEF
Detroit, mich., Dee. 12.
• President Navin said that
he would not grant Ty Cobb
and Sam Crawford the advances in
salary they demanded if they both
fluit 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 w ere taken out of the
line-up the Tigers would be a
chronic second division team. Well,
they were not taken out of the line
up last season, and the 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 he 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 a 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 Crawford 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 ta'ke 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 seemed 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.

mean much. ’
