No OUR OFFER WJLL SURPRISE YOU 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.” MATTY BEAR AT CHECKERS.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 12, 1912. 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. BROOKE REFUSES OFFER TO COACH PENN ELEVEN PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12.—The Uni versity of Pennsylvania athletic com mittee was in a quandery today over the football coach question due to the fact that George Brooke, the wonderful full back of several years ago, turned down Pennsylvania’s offer of 310,000 annually, as he prefers to remain at Swarthmore TIGERS LOSE ONLY FOUR MEN.

MO. COBB 15 NOT SUCH 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.
