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.

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.

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.

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. ONGE TURNED BACK IY NAPS Jake Daubert Was Not Consid ered Good Enough for Cleve land Club in 1907. King Francis the First 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. • * • I N his first 128 games this year Dan- * bert procured 165 safeties, going hitless only In 26 controversies He did his best work with the willow i n July 14 and 16. On the first-named 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 .408 pace against the Phillies. The Cub pitchers have yielded him an aver age of .350, the Plti8hurg hurlers .342. the Red heavers .330. the Boston gun ners .310 and the Giant artillerists 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.

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.
