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.

Pierce (Chi) ,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.

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. “Chick” Declares That Day on the Links Restores Tired Busi ness Man’s Nerves.

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.

By “Chic” Evans. 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. ALBERTS STOPS PHIL CROSS. NEW YORK. Dec. 3. Kid Alberts knocked out Ph41 Cross in the sixth round of their scheduled ten-round bout at the Athletic Garden A. C. last night. ‘Willie’ Keeler Victor in A. A. G.
