TTRARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA, DA.. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1013 Sunday American Sporting Pages Lead AH Otlher 'S Arthur Chappie Has Had Varied Racing Career •*!* •I- • *!* Champion Motorcyclist Dodged Death Many Times T O moot Arthur Chappie one would rehdily associate him : "Tti a branch of to > cMoiil j ■**w«t**rt, as his pleas&nt expres- j sions and polite manners would lead you to imagine. To encounter his j presence on a motorcycle race track j you meet the practical type of the happy-go-lucky daredevil, ready for anything that will lead to excitement, be it ever so dangerous or rough. | Following his vocation of motor drome racing “Chap” is ever ready to boost his fellow-riders, but hesi tates to exploit his own hazardous undertakings. * • * THE grave has claimed a great por- 1 tion of those who cast their lot with Chappie in the game of hide- and-go-seek with tiie Grim Reaper. Derosies, Hasha, Albright. Edwards. McNeil and so on runs the list of Tie original daredevils,- but Chappie alone remains to sit and tell us how ‘hey were killed and why quick an ion has saved him from a similar 'ate. In fact, Arthur thinks death is vi joke. • * * T URNING off miles in 1 minute and 4 second was nothing new for Chappie when he first arrived in this country. After a successful season at falls ajid wrecks, Chappie showed to advantage throughout New England as pacemaker for many of the for gotten stars. At Madison Square Garden Chappie corppeted against the redoubtable Parisian riders, Albert Champion and Ralph DePalma. The latter is now rated one of the best auto racers in tl*> world. At Clift+th, .. j&ck rrlnce built his initial effort In motordrome con struction only to find that a six-lap track required exceptional nerve and steady arm to keep out of the grand stand seats. One Sunday afternoon an auburn- haired boy flew around Its treacher ous banks, only to land at the spec tators’ feet a crumbled mass of flesh and blood. The auburn-haired youth who rode into the jaws of death was Sunny Briggs, who will be remem bered by many of the old fans in the early days of the sport. Chappie fell with Briggs, and he was badly in jured, but managed to escape death, however. C HAPPLE next wandered down to the Florida sands, in company with Bob Stubbs, the famous Bir mingham speed artist. For three days they shattered world’s records and tiie final score gave Chappie credit for new figures for ten and twenty miles. Stubbs had hung tenaciously to the one-mile record. Chappie’s scars bear proof of the many serious encounters with the outside fence. At Philadelphia in 1910 Arthur burst through the outside turn of the Point Breeze track and lingered beneath death’s shadow long enough to memorize the time that the angel’s song. I N the blowing of tires “Chap” can always be trusted to hold his ma chine at any speed. On one occasion a terrible accident was avoided by of speed, it mounted the wire netting that screens the spectators from the top of the track, with “Chap’’ fight ing every Inch for supremacy, lie finally brought the flying wreck back onto the track and finished up on the running board. * * * /THE spectators, realizing that a ter- * rible accident was narrowly avert ed, gave vent to their feelings by cheering “Chap” to the echo. Chap pie will linger with us a few more days and tiien depart for Savannah, where he will participate in the great motorcycle classic on Christmas day.

UP c Coach Warner Picks All-Time Indian Football Eleven CARLISLE, PA., Nov. 29.—As a football innovation the all-time se lections made by the competent au thorities are becoming popular and, withal, interesting. Coach Glenn S. Warner, of the Car lisle Indian School, having been asked to name an All-Time Carlisle team, made the following selection: Ends—Albert Exendine, Edward Rodgers; tackles—Martin Wheelock, Emil Wauseka; guards — Bemis Pierce, Charles Dillon; center—Wil liam Carlow; quarterback—James Johnson; halfbacks—James Thorpe, Joseph Guyon; fullback — Peter Houser. In estimating qualifications Warner gave preference to uniform heady play. For Exendine and Rodgers ttiere were the especial qualities of ideal spepd,- build and weight. Both tackles were magnificent specimens of manhood and used their brains to ; advantage. The huge, intelligently-handled bulk of Pierce and the genius of Dil lon for interference were specified by the great coax'h; Callow’s steadiness in passing and all-round defensive and offensive work names him. Of all American quarterbacks, Jim mie. Johnson is thought to have been the greatest. His masterful leader ship, strategic ability and physical prowess were wonderful. Thorpe needs no comment. Guyon. consid ering his inexperience, is litfle short of a marvel. For fullback. Warner said that in all fairness the palm would have to go to Peter Houser.

This year he , wins the Chalmers car. That same i j season Larry Doyle, who won the ! Chalmers car last year, was looked ! j over by a scout for an American I League club while he was playing with Springfield, of the Three-1 j League, and the scout advised against J his purchase. Doyle cost the Giant* $4,500, which i was a record price for a minor league inftelder in 1907. Daubert was :i?- I quired by Brooklyn via the draft ; process in 1910 for the sum of $1,000, ! the Giants also putting in a draft for j him and losing out in the draw. Sir I Jacob never was in danger of being , sent back to the minors after he ! reached the majors for the second i time, and by June, 1910, had been dubbed the Hal Chase of the National League. He failed to nbtain mem- I bership in the Society of the Three Hundred the first year he was in the National League, but in 1911 he hit at a .30-7 clip, and in 1912 his record was , .308. This year Daubert has boosted i his stick credit to .350, and there is , a possibility that he may be the bat- : ting king in the organization in which hoplays. * • • I N hln first 128 games this year Dau bert procured 165 safeties, going j hitless only in 26 controversies. He did his best work with the willow i n .1 iilv 14 and 16. On the first n im< d date he secured four hits in four times at bat off Pierce, Overall and Reulbach, of the Cubs, and on the last-named date he located Jimmy Lavender, of the Bruins, for four smashes, batting against him five times. Daubert has hit at a .428 clip against the Cardinals and at a .40*5 pace against the Phillies. The Cub pitchers have yielded him an aver age of .350, the Pittsburg hurlers .342, the Red heavers .339, the Boston gun ners .310 and the Giant artillerists .279. • • • TYWJBERT has made only a dozen errors this season, and only once has he committed two misplays in the same contest. His biggest day's work at th♦* first comer was on April 29, when he cared for 20 out of the 21 chances that came his way. On April 14 he obtained four assists, which is quite a lot for a first baseman. By L. G. CHESTER. To point out the golfing event of the year Is not of importance for purposes here. In Clubdom and Wigwam, at home, on the links Of the Amateur prowess most often he thinks And the golfer delights, in his stories, to tell Of the game that HE played when he played the game well. Had yon all been afar from the news of the day, If one stood here and told you the truth—you would say Here’s a Baron Munchausen—a liar of the worst; There IS no such King as KING FRANCIS THE FIRST But listen a moment, the tale is replete With incident keen and with victory sweet; And hear well in mind that the field, that first day Contained all the “CLASS”—and all trained for the fray. There were Champs and Ex-Champs; “Jerry” Travers, McLeod; Jack McDermott., who swore that he'd beat the whole crowd. George Sargent, “Jack" Hobens, three Andersons, Reed; The burr of the Scotch all mixed up with the tweed. There was Brady, two Smiths, Louis Teller of France Tommy Mac—“Nipper” Campbell—they all had their chance. It ended on Friday and here is the score; Ted” Ray—Harry Vardon—each three hundred four. The hopes of the Star-Spangled Banner are few; Our boys did the best they could possibly do. But they say there’s a lad who's still out in the rain And he’s fighting his battle with might and with main Somewhere in the blood of this stripling, bo shy. Is that conquering strain which can never say “die" And the eyes of the nations—the ears of the world Wherever the records of sport can be whirled. Are strained with a tension they can not resist. To get the result—the last twist of the wrist Of the boy who Is making this resolute stand To keep OUR OWN emblem within OUR OWN land When the word was brought up to the Club House, at last Just what figures would TIE—the last hope had passed FOURTEEN—to finish four holes such as these? Good-by, Mr. Cup! You’re to sail o’er the seas! When the last stroke was played—you remember the scene Our FRANCIS had made the four holes in FOURTEEN But alas! for the tremors—the joys of delight! The three in a tie; it’s a heart-rending plight.. A boy In his ’teens, to be pitted next day, Against the Great Vardon—the Giant-like Ray What show has this youth with the cunning and skill Of veterans like these? Tis a sad, hitter pill. But never a thought nor a worry’ had he When he met his bold foemen upon the first tee; And they went the first nine at so even a clip That the scores were the same at the half of the trip And Ray looked at Vardon—and Vardon looked back— And the thought of the twain was: “This youngster MUST crack’ Coming into the stretch—at the fifteenth, in fact, By Jove! Don’t you know! Twas the Great Ray that, cracked And when they’d gone on, for a couple holes more. The debonair Vardon—in forcing his score— Was caught in a trap and when he got out— JOHNNY BULL—as of yore—was again put to rout And all through the play—if the: truth must, be known- - These greatest of golfers were frequently shown That the game they were TEACHING when Ouimet was born Has a MASTER—at Woodland, the lad who lias worn The crown he has won—with no vanity cursed.

Newell, in spltfc of his light weight, played in eight S. I. A. A. games with everyone watching him. In spite of that he gained ground repeatedly, received all kinds of punishment end never had to be taken /out. He is the most valuable halfback that Auburn has ever had, and the passing of him and McWhorter removes two of the South’s greatest halfbacks from the arena. * * * T HERE are several good quarter backs to pick one from. Pad- dock, of Georgia; Boensch, of Van derbilt; Tolley, of Sewanee; L. Du pont, of L. S. U., and Arnold, of Auburn. As this was Arnold’s first year at the position the cares of conducting a tearri towards the championship in terfered materially with his individual play. He is really a first-class man carrying the ball, but used himself very little. To my mind the best man of the lot is Paddock, of Georgia—heady, expe rienced and a brilliant individual player. Boensch is as brilliant an individual player but not nearly as good a general. He was very bril liant in his individual playing against Auburn, but the fact that Auburn was perhaps playing the poorest game of the year may have had something to do with it. The other quarterbacks followed these closely. In fact, the competition here is keener than for any other position. * * * T HE question of fullback will bring on a lot of discussion. Harris, of Auburn, was the most talked-of full back of the year. For a man of his weight he is tiie most wonderful full back I have ever seen. However, he weighs on 147 and it is very doubt ful whether he could stand a full game or not. He goes so hard that he would very likely hatter himself to pieces. This is his first year and if lie puts on any weight to amount to anything he bids fair to be one of the South’s greatest fullbacks. There were other good fullbacks at Auburn—Christopher and Bidez. When these men were good, they were very good, but they were not as con sistent as Harris. Vanderbilt could not stop Bidez. but against Georgia it was Christopher that could not be stopped Because of Ills experience. his de- ' 1 ' ' - . I » ’ 1 ■■ t \ I > 1 !

All-Weather Treads Flat-Top Double-Thick Ta Jc Extra-Tough » I CCAsJlJS Immensely Enduring Like a Smooth Tread on Dry Roads—A Resistless Grip on Wet Roads _ Wide-Base V^ripS Sharp-Cut Very Deep Buy Nothing Else This Winter You men who investigate will this winter buy nothing but All-Weather treads. Here is all the advantage, all the economy of the plain-tread tire. And here is the last word In efficient anti skids. It is the greatest of Good year inventions. The tread is double-thick. The rubber is extra tough — toughened by a secret process. The blocks are deep and enduring. They last for thousands of miles. The tread is flat. The projec tions are broad and regular. Thus we avoid vibration and give you the smooth-tread effect. The blocks have sharp edges, facing the skidding direction. And those edges stay sharp. Their grip on wet roads is tenacious. The blocks widen out so they meet at the base. Thus the strains are dis tributed just as with plain-tread tires. It was separate projections, centering the strain at one point in the fabric, which made anti-skids short-lived. Come, see and compare them. No man who does this will ever buy the old-type anti-skids. There is no comparison, in efficiency, in economy, in all- around, long-time service. You can see this at a glance. Yet most anti-skids cost more than these because of smaller output. The Most Popular Tires Ever Made All-Weather treads now come, if wanted, on Goodyear No Rim-Cut tires. They outsell our smooth treads with users. And these great tires are now, by long odds, the largest-selling tires in the world. No-Rim-Cnt tires first won top place because they cannot rim-cut. They have saved motor car owners many millions of dollars by this one great economy. They are also the only tires which are final-cured on air bags, nnder actual road conditions. This is done at an extra cost of $1,500 daily. It is done to save the countless blow-outs due to wrinkled fabric. They are the only tires in which hundreds of large rubber rivets are created to prevent tread separation. Rim-cutting is made impossible. Blow-outs and loose treads are minimized in ways that no rival employs. Because of this fact, no other tire compares in sales with Goodyears. No-Rim-Cut Tires With All-Weather Treads Now comes this All-Weather tread. A tread which safety demands on all wheels at all seasons. An anti-skid tread which has no competi tion with men who know mo facts. So there are now four econ omies—four enormous advan tages—to win you to No-Rim- Cut tires. You will join the legions who buy these tires when you once find them out.
