Frank Raker is thinking of deserting
these parts. Frank says he is tired ot
waiting for matches in Atlanta and is
about reaadv to depart for Charleston.
Raker had two fights in Athens, where
he holds victories over Jack Bayne and
Mike Saul. Frank's victory over Saul
was on a foul in the seventh round
after the boys had put up a great scrap.
A return go between the pair should
prove a corker.

these days trying to induce Milwaukee
promoters to match him with George

SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT
Now They Won’t Even Give Rummy Credit for Being Himself
Three Chicago Players Picked for
First Eleven—Dorais Greatest J
Quarterback in Country.
By Frank (1. Minke.
N EW YORK. Dec. 3.—Here is our
selection of the first and sec
ond all-Western elevens, ag
gregations which we believe carry In
the line-up the most wonderful play
ers developed during the past season
in the West:
All Western Elevene.
First Team. Pos. Sec. Team
Huntington (Chi)E... .Lyons (Mich)
Pontius (Mich) . .T... Butler (Wis)
Routh (Pur) G. Feefe (N. Dame)
Desjardien (Chi). -C Paterson

Keller (Wis) . ...G.... Harris (Chi)
Kirk (Iowa) ....T Shull (Chi)
Solon (Minn) . ...E Wilson (Ill)

Norgren (Chi) R. 11- B. Dick (Iowa)
Craig (Mich) . .L. H. B.. .Gray (Chi)
Eichenlaub B... Pierce (Chi)
(Notre Dame...F.
Desjardien. the Chicago center,
from all we can gather, is one of
the greatest men that ever played
the position. A. wonderful offensive
player, a giant on the defense and
an accurate placer of the pigskin,
he was never outplayed during :he
past season, although pitted against
some of the best men who played the
position of center. Keller, of Wis
consin. and Routh, of Purdue, arc a
wonderful pair of guards. Harris, of
i 'hicago, was given a place on the
first all-Westem eleven by some ox-
perls, hut the general opinion is that
he was not quite the equal ot the two
men who have been placed on the
first eleven.
Pontius Gets Place.
Pontius, of Michigan, and Kirk, of
Iowa, at the tackle positions, easily
were the peers of any man that ca
vorted at the tackle stations in the
West. Both men were hard, sure
ticklers, both extremely fast in get
ting down the field and neither failed
when called upon to open a hole in
the rival line for their plunging
halfbacks.
At the wing positions. Huntington,
of Chicago, and Solon, of Minnesota,
loomed up as the superiors of their
rivals. Both played wonderful, con
sistent games throughout the sea
son, with the Chicago man showing
slightly better than his Minnesota
partner, through his ability to carry
the ball through broken fields.
Dorais at Quarter.
Dorais, the Notre Dame quarter
back, is regarded as the greatest
quarterback of the year—both 1n the
East and the West. A wonder at
handling the forward pass, a heady
field general, a sure catcher of punts,
a, fine tackier and a brilliant runner,
he belongs to the first eleven taking
the position from Russell, the fast
Chicago pivot man. Tt has been
manv years since the West has seen
any halfback that equalled Craig, the
mighty Michigan backfield man. His
terrific line smashing and his won
derful Ability in circling the ends was
largely responsible for Michigan s
victories. Norgren, of Chicago, an
other marvelous player, is a wo ft hy
partner to Craig In the backfield.
Selecting ttie fullback from three
strong candidates was a difficult job.
Girhenla lb, of Notre Dame: Shaugh-
nessv, of Minnesota, and Pierce, of
Chicago, played wonderful games at
their positions in the center of the
backfield. but because of their slight
superiority over Shaughness.v on the
defense. Eichenlaub draws a place on
the first eleven and Pierce on the sec
ond eleven.

LITTLE WILIJE GETTIT
By George McManus
Soldiers _ Prepare _ for All-Stars'GOLF GAME BIST FOOD FOR SPORT FANS
Hot Battle Is Expected Saturday
GEC
GEORGE E. PHAIR.
t ~r rHEX Lew Hardage’s all-star
\/\/ football team clashes against
the Soldiers at Ponce De
Leon Saturday afternoon they had
better be prepared for a tough strug
gle. Lieutenant Devore is putting
the Soldiers through a hard work-out
these days, and plans to have them in
tiptop shape when the whistle blows
Saturday starting the combat.
The Infantry line is showing much
strength, and Devore thinks with a
strong line his boys will have a good
chance to hold the all-stars. Devore
himself will be at one of the tackles,
which should prove a big help to his
players. Devore was one of the
greatest tackles in history, earning a
place on Walter Camp’s all-star
American his last two years with the
Army.
The Soldiers also have several play
ers who have displayed great individ
ual ability. Swartz showed last Sat
urday against the Eleventh Cavalry
from Chattanooga that he can be de
pended upon at all times when han
dling the forward pass, as he heaves
the oval with wonderful accuracy.
Time ami again he threw the ball
from 25 to 35 yards against the Cav
alry for successful passes.
B INGLE, the Soldiers' end. is one
of the most dangerous players in
the South in kicking goals from place
ment. Whenever the Soldiers have
the ball within their opponents’ 40-
yard line. Bingle can be counted on
attempt a boot at goal. The Sol 4
diers are relying upon this youngster
for a couple of field goals Saturday.
, The all-star line-up needs no intro
duction. Kirk Newell, Homer Cook
and Lewie Hardage will be in the
backfield. Ray Morrison, the former
Vandy star, will be at quarter. This
backfield should be able to rip up any
line, and the fans should certainly
witness some dandy line-plunging
Saturday. Also Newell was about the
best player in the South the past sea
son at circling the ends. The back-
field players are a!! in fairly good
condition, and should be able to pull
through a full game.
* * *
L OCAL fans are showing much in
terest in the game and a good
crowd is expected at Ponce DeLeon
Saturday. The opportunity to see so
many star players on one team is a
treat football ' followers do not al
locs have a chance to see. Several
of the players have not been seen in
action fot years, and their appear
ance on the gridiron again is bound
to bring back recollections of their
former great plays. Bob McWhorter,
Homer Cook and a couple of others
have finished their college career, and
this may be the last chance fans will
have to see them in action.

CHICAGO. ILL., Dec. 3. - With all the

CHICAGO, ILL.. Dec. 3 At 9:30
o'clock last night Johnny McFarland,
cousin of Packey. came into I he Ex

“Its all right ami good press work to

asserted the portly Emil as he arrived
at the office a few minutes later. "But
it becomes very irritating when I lose

Packey-Britton nmteh in Milwaukee will
be staged December 8 regardless ot
contrary reports."

golfing business man has a
peculiarly good feeling on the
Monday succeeding a w : eek-end
spent in the enjoyment of his favor
ite sport. He may have gone to bed
very tired the night before, but the
fresh air and happy memories of a
good game insure a good night's rest
and he comes back to his work with
new vigor. He is in high spirits and
feels ready to meet anything that
comes his way. He may have left the
office early on Saturday, tired and
discouraged, with no interest in life,
but he returns to it on Monday morn
ing. exhilarated and happy, fully real
izing how good it is to be alive in a
world where there is so much to en
joy—an interesting sport with pleas
ant companionship, and the fine appe
tite of the outdoor man.
* * *
r PHERE is something very restful in
* a mental picture of a golf course
- the arching sky, the sweeping wind,
tees and greens and fairway. If the
golfer is a good sport he remembers
his good shots, lie does not complain
over his bad ones, and he gently
crows over the number of yards he
outdrove Smith. In imagination he
sees his shots flying safely over haz
ards and lighting deftly within a few'
feet of the hole.

pERHAPS our golfer remembers the
* short putt that lost Him the
match with his friendly rival, but
there is no bitterness connected with
that missed putt just a little tem
pering of the gentle glow of neigh
borly competition. He knows that
ordinarily he is a much better player
than Smith. He has learned a great
many new things about the game, and
at luncheon he tells his friendly
neighbor all about his shots. Jlis
friends should not be too hard upon
Hi is failing of our happy golfer. He
is enjoying his game for the second
time, and the retrospect is almost as
pleasant as the original chase of the
little white ball over miles of course
under the open sky.
YES—WHY?
The nix-dan race comes ov apace;
The slant will soon be oil:
I would some wise old gent could tell
Why those who stand around and

And help the gate receipts to swell
Are not in Mctteawant
A six-day bike race reminds one
of that ancient ballad: "A mother
was chasing her boy round the room,
she was chasing her boy round the
room,” etc.
While those English poloists are
preparing for another invasion it be
hooves them to prepare for a soft
spot on which to land.
No, Rollo, the government investi
gation of the tin-can trust is in no
way connected with the can which
was appended to Joe Tinker.
We note that the Reds are owned
by the Cincinnati Exhibition Com
pany, which is now making an exhi
bition of itself.
Not that it will make any differ
ence in the baseball world, but Garry
Herrmann is expected to appoint a
new manager this week.

about at least one reform. It is no

While big league magnates prefer
to be amused by the Federal League,
an investigation would reveal the
fact that there is a distinct chill in
the vicinity of their feet.
A war with the Feds will mean that
a lot of money will be spent, and we
all know how the average magnate
loves to spend money.
One is not surprised to hear that

THIS NEVER HAPPENED.
There lived two football experts once, j
who startled all the earth ;
tt was the most peculiar stunt since |
fifotball had its brith.
The two had never met before, nor
knew each other's name,
tint when they picked their all-star
teams they picked the very
same.
In spite of the fact that a million
all-star football teams stare us in
the face we still have reason to be
thankful. Nobody has picked an all-
st?r basketball team.
Surgeons and embalmers agree with
Alonzo Stagg on the theory that the
present football rules are too rigid.
Only fourteen were killed and 172 in
jured this year.
MEMPHIS, TENN., Dec. 3 An
nouncement, «hh made to-day •>{ the
release of Doc Newton, veteran lef'
hander of the Memphis club, to the Gal
veston club of the Texas League. The
deal was for a cash consideration. How
ever. the amount received was not made
public.
According to Manager Finn, the re
lease of Newton is merely the begin
ning of a, series of releases which in t lie
end will practically exterminate the
present pitching corps. (>n excellent au
thority it is learned that Bills Parsons
and others of tlie 1913 staff are to fol
low in the wake of the veteran New
ton. Apparently the Galveston club is
to be made a farm of tin* Memphis club,
inasmuch as Manager Sentell lias been
granted every favor asked of Manager
Finn, of the locals.
