Champion Motorcyclist Dodged Death Many Times
T O meet Arthur Chappie one
would readily associate him
with a branch of the clerical
profession, as his pleasant expres
sions and polite manners would lead
you to imagine. To encounter his
presence on a motorcycle race track
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 t:<»n of those who cast their lot
with Chappie In the game of hide-
and-go-seek with the Grim Reaper.
Derosies. Hasha, Albright. Edwards,
McNeil and so on runs the list of
the original daredevils, hut Chappie
alone remains to sit and tell us how
they were killed and why quick ac
tion has saved him from a similar
fate. In fact, Arthur thinks death is
a joke.

T FRNING 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 and wrecks. Chappie showed to
advantage throughout New England
as pacemaker for many of the for
gotten stars. At Madison Square
Garden Chappie competed against the
redoubtable Parisian riders, Albert
Champion and Ralph DePalma. The

latter is now rated one of the best
auto racers in the world.
At Clifton, N. J., Jack Prince 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 hanks, 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.
HAPPLE next wandered down to
N* the Florida sands, in company
with Bob Stubbs, the famous Bir
mingham speed artist For three days
they shattered world’s records and
the 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 hurst through the outside
turn of the Point Breeze track and
lingered beneath death's shadow long
enough to memorize the time that the

finally brought the flying wreck back
unto the track and finished up on
the running board.

cheering "Chap" to the echo. Chap

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 W T heelock,
Emil Wauseka: guards — Bemis
Pierce, Charles Dillon: center—Wil
liam Garlow; 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
there were the especial qualities of
ideal speed, 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 coach; Garlow’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 little short
of a marvel. For fullback. Warner
said that in all fairness the palm
would have to go to Peter Houser.

O NE of the many peculiarities of
baseball crops up in Daubert
being considered by the Chal
mers trophy commissioners the play
er most valuable to his team in the
National League this year, for In 1907
the Brooklyn captain was declared not
sufficiently competent to hold hia
berth with Cleveland. This year he
wins the Chalmers car. That same
season Larry Doyle, who won the
Chalmers car last year was looked
over by a scout for ; i American
League club while he was playing
with Springfield, of the Three-I
League, and the scout advised against
his purchase.
Doyle cost the Giants $4,500, which
was a record price for a minor league
infielder in 1907. Daubert was ac
quired by Brooklyn via the draft
process in 1910 for the sum of $1,000,
the Giants also putting in a draft for
him and losing out in the draw*. Sir
Jacob never was in danger of being
sent back to the minors after he
reached the majors for the second
time, and by June, 1910, had been
dubbed the Hal Chase of the National
League. He failed to obtain mem
bership in the Society of the Three
j Hundred the first year he was in the
National League, but In 1911 he hit at
a .307 clip, and In 1912 his record was
.308. This year Daubert has boosted
his stick credit to .350, and there is
;t possibility that he may bo the bat
ting king in the organization in which
he plays.

By L. Q. 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 you 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 bear 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, so 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 twiBt 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 FOUR T 'EEN
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, bitter 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 crac..!
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—
Wes caught In a trap and when he got out—
JOHNNY BULL—as of yore—was again put to rout.*
And all through thq play—If the truth must be known—
Theso greatest of golfers were frequently shown
That the game they were TEACHING when Ouimet was born
Has a MASTER—at Woodland, the lad who has worn
The crown he has won—with no vanity cursed.
And that's why we honor KING FRANCI8 THE FIRST.

CRISPIN MODEL
You can wait a year for this Lon
don shape or buy it nowina Regal.
This model, one of our many new Fall styles, will be popu
lar throughout the country next year. CRISPIN MODEL is
really an English shape refined by us for New York trade.
All of the characteristics of the London custom-made boot are
preserved—flaring right and left heels, wide shank and
fiat, stout sole.
But aside from its advanced style, there
is wonderful value—real economy in this
shoe. What a sole! Right out of the
butt of an Oak-tanned, South American
preen hide—thick, tough as raw hide,
pliable and water-resisting. No $12
boot ever had better. And the upper
goes well with the sole—choice
cut of a full-weight calf skin,
close grained and elastic—
the sort of leather that
never stretches out
of shape.

C CAMBRIDGE, MASS., Nov. 27. It is rather ha

just past completed my eighth year of football.
I started in Everett High School in spending four years there, one
at Exeter Academy and three so fur at Harvard. I was 11 years old when I
started high school, but I must have started drop kicking at least two years
before that.
Drop kicking has always held a great fascination over me. I simply
love to do it and enjoy practicing drop kicking more than any other one
thing in football. Whenever I have l>een able to get my hands on a football
I have always practiced drop kicking, working at all times to attain as
nearly jierfect a form as possible.
Throughout my high school days and at Exeter and even during my
freshman year at Harvard I received very little coaching at drop kicking.
During this time, however. I had fairly good success with my kicks, but
was very erratic. For instance, in the Princeton freshman game 1 got fourj
field goals and two weeks later against Yale “lDlf>" 1 missed four chances,j
two of which were comparatively easy.
But when I came out for the varsity. Charley. Daly, who is now coach j
