SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT
Now They Won’t Evert Give Rummy Credit for Being Himself
Three Chicago Players Picked for
first Eleven—Dorais Greatest
Quartarback in Country.
By Frank G. Minke.
YORK, Dec. 3.—Here is our
selection of the first and sec
ond all-Western elevens, ag
nations which we believe carry in
•ne line-up the most wonderful .play
ers developed during the past season
in the West:
All Western Elevens.

,Notre Dame...F.
Desiardien, the Chicago center
Torn til we can gather, is one of
'-e sreatest men that ever played
he position. A wonderful offensive
y,v. , giant on the defense and
■in'a' 'urate placer of the pigskin,
' he was never outplayed during the
,ast season, although pitted against
some of the best men who played the
position of center. Keller, of Wis-
onein and Routh, of Purdue, are a
wonderful pair of guards. Harris, of
I hlcago, was given a place on the
first all-Western eleven by some ex
perts. but the general opinion is that
he was not quite the equal of the two
men who have been rlaced 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
••rklers, 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
fident games throughout the sea
son, with the Chicago man showing
slightly better than ljis Minnesota
partner, through his ability to carry
the ball through broken fields.
Dorais at Quarter.
Dorais, the Notre Dame quarter-
bark, is regarded as the greatest
quarterback of the ydar—both in 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. It has been
many years since the West has seen
anv 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 worthy
Partner 10 Craig in the backfield.
Selecting the fullback from three
strong candidates was a difficult job.
Elchenlaub, of Notre Dame: Shaugh-
neesy, of Minnesota, and Pierce, of
Chicago, played wonderful games at
r he r positions in the center of the
backfield, but because of their slight
superiority over Shaughnessy on the
defense Eichenlaub draws a place on
ftie first eleven and Pierce on the sec
ond eleven.

Soldiers Prepare for All-Stars
Hot Battle Is Expected Saturday
‘GOLF GHE BEST
OFJLL WEEK-END
Food for Sport Fans
Ty GEORGE E. PHAIR.J-
•« -rHEN Lew Hardage's ^11-star
\j\l 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 w'ho 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 and 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
to attempt a boot at goal. The Sol
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 all 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-
ways have a chance to see. Several
of the, players have not been seen in
action' for 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.

not lack for fights this winter. Ad
Wolgast Is now ready to fight again, a
thorough examination of the ex-cham-
nion's ribs, injured In the Bal Nelson

ing off of his scheduled go with White.
The Cadillac citizen has wired Pro
moter Frank Mulkern that he will ac-
ept anv date and any tighter after De
cember 1S. In his wire Ad mention!
Charlie White as his llrst choice.
Lewis maintains that the New Or

knew before the light organ that he
would not receive a square deal. Ref

'Big Bill’ Gardner.
In Business Here
HEAD TO COME HOME EDITION
“Big Bill” Gardner, famous end and
backfield star of the Carlisle Indians’
football teams of 1904-1908, is in town,
and likely to be here for some time to
come, seeing he has joined his equally
celebrated teammate, Charlie Wahoo, in
the employ of the local branch of A. G.
Spalding & Co.
Gardner is a big name ln football. He
was a member of the famous Carlisle
team that came South to play Vander
bilt in 1906, and also walloped every
Eastern eleven It met, except Princeton,
whose Btyel of defense was made over
i especially to stop the noble Red Mn's
system of forward passing
i More recently, Gardner has been en-
j gaged in coaching in Ohio and playing
• professional football, which has come to
I be quite a branch of sport In that State.
I He is in fine physical condition just

will g«* into the game at^ Fort McPher

HE golfing business man lias a
peculiarly good feeling on the
Monday succeeding a week-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 ^.nd
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 outdpor man.

THERE is something very restful in
* a mental picture of a golf course
—the arching sky, the sweeping wind. I
tees and greens and fairway. If the
golfer is, a good sport he remembers |
his good shots, he does not complain
over his bad ones, and he gently
crow's over the number of yards he
outdrove Smith. In imagination he
sees his siiots flying safely over haz
ards and lighting deftly within a few
feet of the hole.
* • •
pERHAPS our golfei* 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. His
friends should not be too hard upon
this 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 six-day race mines on apace;
The stunt will soon he on;
/ would some wise old gent could tell
Why those who stand, around and
yell
And help the gate receipts to swell
Are not in Matteawant
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
nate to jump on a ballplayer’s spine
when he asks for more pay.
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 wilf 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
who startled all the earth;
It teas the most peculiar stunt since
football had its birth.
The two had never met before, nor
knew each other's name.
But 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-
star 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.
Doc Newton Is Let
Out by Mike Finn;
Others to Follow
MEMPHIS, TENN., Dec. 3.—An
nouncement was made to-day of the
release of Doc Newton, veteran left
hander of the Memphis club, to tlie 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 the
end will practically exterminate the
present pitching corps. On excellent au
thority it is learned that Billy Parsons
and others of the 1913 staff are to fol
low in the wake of the veteran New
ton. Apparently the Galveston club is
to he ma/le a farm of the Memphis dub,
inasmuch as Manager Senteil ha% been
granted every favor asked of Manager
Finn, of the locals.

The tournament trophy In singles this
