QUINTET BEATS POST
'i <■ Young Men's Christian association
ter-u defeated the. Post Athletics last
night, 21 to 14. The S. V. D. won from
Georgia Athletic club by forfeit, 2 to 0.
The Georgia Athletic club team did not
appear at the armory court, and its non
appearance was a. surprise to the offi
cers of lhe league. An investigation is
under way. The Young Men's Christian
association, by winning, jumped to a tie
for third place with the Athletics and the
Georgia Athletic club.
Surprising themselves even, and dis
playing a wee bit of ginger just before
the end of the game, the Young Men’s
Christian association team took a slight
lead in the second half, and won the
game. The score at the end of the first
half was 8 to 5, the Young Men's Chris
tian association team leading. Hitze,
of tiie Athletics, and Swilling, of the

played best.

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 st9ck to see what
w ill be left for a nucleus for next
fall’s football team.
Lamb, jtessijac, Bums and Mead
ows will be gone next fall—beyond
the shadow of a doubt. Both tack
les, defensive center and fullback
urc* a loss to any team, and espe
■ dally so when these players were '
the bulwarks of the Auburn fobt
ball.machine this year. They were
the most experienced players on
the team, of the four, Lamb is the
’ only one who has played four years -
* n 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 Aubtirn.
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 football.’
Auburn's Material "Made.”
Looking over what may be left
of the varsity and the year’s scrub
team, a good idea tnay be had of
what will be available for next
year. Auburn never gets any stars
from preparatory schools or any
where else, feo the teams have to be
made of whole cloth. There is pne
consolation'’ in this, in tritit there
is never any disappointment over
the i?on-appearance of any ready
to-use football material.
Ressijae is tiie only loss to the
back field, and as there are a num
ber of promising youngsters who
have just begun their development
Auburn ought to be stronger next
ELECTIONOFT. 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 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 t|ie 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 Jiitn.
"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 q.s an umpire, and do
not make enough now to keep my family.
“As for Lynch and myself not being
ou 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 has
' cleaned up ail the easy money in sight
i by tilling 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 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 down only to 135.
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
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
Lpuisell are both liable to be back,
afrd in another year will make first
ctass players. They were good this
.year, but on account of their youth
.thfcy were not able to stand the
vigorous training. They are both
• active and hard workers and will
hiriake a good pair of tackles. ' Cul
pepper and Essiinger are two oth
er promising linesmen, though of
llghtvveight.
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 this year, es
'•peelally Taylor, Wynne and Steed.
Taylor is a big fellow and fast
enough to play anywhere. There
is no telling just whe're 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
tb 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.

AGARD,ffITS
TIGERCHIEF
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 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
bail 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 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.” ’
AD WOLGAST CRIES “BABY"
WHEN HE LOSES A WAGER
L'OS ANGELES, CAL., Dec. 13.—Ad
Wolgast, recently defeated lightweight
champion, and his manager, Tom Jones,
lost nearly SB,OOO on the Flynn-Mc-
Carty fight, and the former champion
told his friends today-he never would
bet another penny on a fight.
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.
