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 (Mich) Keller (Wis) . ...G....

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. I N WHICH YUD&E AGfSeft-THE. R£*(_ TPO&G R.U M HAG S E. R-e fiESfevTED OtrtotM et/6 Sah- i gn/TER-S TX£ : WHERE NAA6.

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. “Chick" Declares That Day on the Links Restores Tired Busi ness Man’s Nerves, T Ad Wolgast Ready to Fight Charlie White CHICAGO. ILL., Dec. 3. - With all the adverse criticism Charlie White re ceived after his Dundee battle he will not lack for tights this winter. Ad Wolgast is now ready to fight again, a thorough examination of the ex-cham pion's ribs, injured in the Bat Nelson fight of several weeks ago. having re vealed that he is ready to step into the ring. The injury necessitated the call ing off of his scheduled go''with White. The Cadillac citizen has wired Pro moter Frank Mulkern that he will ac cept any date and any fighter after De cember 18. In his wire Ad mentions Charlie White as his first choice Lewis maintains that the New Or leans crowd was so hostile that he knew before the fight -negan that he would not receive a square deal. ‘Ref eree Burke let Dundee use his elbows and engage in other rough tactics, de spite my protests," he^ says. CUBS AND REDS AFTER HOVLIK Milwaukee:, wis.. Dec. 3. Pitcher Hovlik the big spltball artist. win. helped Milwaukee win its pennant this year, is in great demand in the major jeagues Bids have been received from the Cubs. Cincinnati and the Pirates, but the offers have not been accepted because the price in each case has been too small. Emil Thiry Is ‘Fired’ And Hired in an Hour CHICAGO, ILL.. Dec. 3 At 9:30 o'clock last night Johnny McFarland, cousin of Packey. came into I he Ex aminer office and announced that Emil Thiry was fired. At 9:45 Emil, manager of Packey, called up and declared that he was quite displeased with the frequency of his dismissals and t Hat he McFarland cousin would shortly retract his state ment. At 10 the McF. cousin did. Then Emil chimed in on the same phone to say that lie had met the ene my and the enemy was "hisn. .»lr. Thirv has wonderful persuasive powers. “Its all right ami good press work to be fired at intervals say every month." asserted the portly Emil as he arrived at the office a few minutes later. "But it becomes very irritating when I lose tn\ job three or four times a day. The Packey-Britton nmteh in Milwaukee will be staged December 8 regardless ot contrary reports." RALPH WORKS SOLD INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 3. Ralph Works, "northpaw" pitcher, was to-day sold to the St. Paul American Associa tion club by the Indianapolis Baseball Association The price realized is un- dersfood to be $500. / "Chic" Evans. 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 yeti 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. The Federal League has brought about at least one reform. It is no longer considered proper for a mag- Doc Newton Is Let ‘Willie’ Keeler Out by Mike Finn; ! Victor in A. A, C.

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 Packey McFarland has agreed to take on Dan Cupid. Dan is a bantam weight. 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. ALBERTS STOPS PHIL CROSS.
