And now we approach the most difficult t ask of our giddy young life the selection to-day of an _ All-r.a.-tern eleven, an All-Western team to-mor row and All-Ameri* an aggregation on Wednesday as dur final football job of the year. Never before has the picking been harder, in other years there was only a sprinkling of real football stars in the Last and West. This season practically every t*am in the try has brought to light *me luminaries, who by all the 1? fairness ought to be given po on the all-star outfits.

"Give Evers Tinker at short and lie'll'win the flag in the National League ne\t year," is ' he talk that one hears around sporting circles these days. And, after all, there is a chance (hat Tinker may return to the Cubs. Tinker is willing; Evers ,1s willing in fact, anxious—and . there Is no doubt. that President Murphy would be pleased to have the peppery Joe back within the Cub fold, "it there is one other who must be will ing for a trade—vGarry Herrmann, the president-manager-czar of the Cineiti- nati club. But Herrmann is sadly in need nt a first-class catcher and it may he that he will cast his eyes Cubward when looking for a working partner to Clarke. You know Johnny Kling Is out with his annual retirement n ttoes, so Garry will have to look around and find a first-class receiver to assist Clarke. He can look all around the Nation.t League circuit and still not do as 'vel ap he can right here in Chicago. Thu catcher wo now refer to is, of courses Roger Bresnahun.
