Minke. N EW YORK, Dec. 3.—Here is our selection of the first and sec ond all-Western elevens, al legations which we believe canry in ■he line-up the most wonderful play ers developed during the past season In 'he West: All Western Elevens. First Team, Pos. Sec. Team Huntington (Chi)E... .Lyons (Mich) Pontius (Mich) .-T... Butler (Wis) Kouth (Pur) CL Feefe (N. Dame) Deaiardien (Chi). C Paterson (Mich) Keller (Wis) ....O..-- Harris (Chi) Kirk (Iowa) -...T Shun (Chi. Solon (Minn) ....E .wnson (Ill) Dorais (N. Dame)Q. .. Russell (Chi) Norgren (Chi) R. H. B. Dick (Iowa) X(Mifh) - E H. B. Gray (CM) I'irhenlaub .B. .. Pierce (Chi) By George McManus LITTLE WILLIE GETTIT Desjardien, the Chicago center, from all we can gather, is one of P greatest men that ever played ihe position. A wonderful offensive , layer, a giant on the defence and in accurate placer of the pigskin, lie was never outplayed during the past season, although pitted against >ome of the best men who played the position of renter. Keller, of Wis consin, and Routh, of Purdue, are a wonderful pair of guards. Harris, of hicago, was given a place on the first all-Western eleven bv some ex perts. but the general opinion is that be was not quite the equal of 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 dokiers, both extremely fast in get- • mg down the held and neither failed when called upon to open a hole in the rival lino 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 juarterback of the year—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, lie belongs to the first eleven taking the position from Rus’sell, the fast Chicago pivot man. It has been many 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 way largely responsible for Michigan’s victories. Norgren, of Chicago, an other marvelous player. Is a worthy partner to Craig in the backfield. Selecting the fullback from three •'trong candidates was a difficult Job. Elchenlaub, of Notre Dame; Shaugh- nessy, 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 Shaughnessv on the defense. Eichenlaub draws a place on the first eleven and Pierce on the sec ond eleven. *0 - and i Dorr care if you <o and tell m< What you (~ heard i oh: hello- JIM - I'VE seen awfully L.ONP ^>ONE FOR tou: c -we want the WHOLC WORLD TO KNOW HOW WE love EACH OTHER,-. ah ' YOU HAVE made me the HARRIETT MAN 'N the WORLD' Jewry-too Are the only man in the WOFRLD I EVER C-AIREd foi? .

Keeler, usually known as "Wil lie” on the han/iball courts of the At lanta Athletic Club, won the final match of the annual tournament In singles Tuesday afternoon, defeating Howard Arnold In a close and well-played con test. The two finalists had previously beaten, respectively, Walter Dubard and Cone Maddox in the semi-final matches A large gallery watched the play In the closing contest The tournament trophy In singles this year Is a handsome silver cup. With it goes the right to challenge Carlton Smith, the present singles champion, for his title. The challenge having been duly made and accepted, the match for the title will be played at noon next Friday. MEMPHIS, TENN, Dec 3 —An nouncement was made to-day of the release of Doc Newton, veteran left 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 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 be made a farm of the Memphis club, Inasmuch as Manager Sentell has beer granted every favor asked of Manager Finn, of the locals. YES—WHY? The ftix-day race comes on apace; The stunt will soon be on; I would some wise old gent could tell Why those who stand around and yell And help the gate receipts to swell Are not in Matteatcant nate to jump on a ballplayer’s spine when He asks for more pay. ment. Whenever the Soldiers have the ball within their opponents’ 4#- 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. » -ir j-HEX 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 n strong line his boys will have a good chance to hold th 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 and again he threw the ball from 25 to 35 yards against the Cav alry for successful passes. 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. Chick” Declares That Day on the Links Restores Tired Busi ness Man’s Nerves. 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. 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. One is not surprised to hear that Packey McFarland has agreed to take on Dan Cupid. Dan is a bantam weight. WORKS SOLD TO ST. PAUL. INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 3.—Pitcher Ralph Works, who came to the Indian apolis American Association team last season from the Cincinnati Nationals, was sold to-day to the St. Paul Amer! can Association club. While those English poloists are preparing for another ipvasion it be hooves them to prepare for a soft spot on which to land. ALBERTS STOPS PHIL CROSS. NEW YORK. Dec. 3.- Kid Alberts knocked out Phil Cross in the sixth round of their scheduled ten-round bout at the Athletic Garden A. C. last night. THIS NEVER HAPPENED. There lived two football experts once who startled alt the earth; It was the most peculiar stunt since football had its birth. The two had never met before, nor knew each other's name, Rut when they picked their all-star teams they picked the very same. e |MIE golfing business man has a I 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 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 fo 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. 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. 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. Not that it will make any differ ence in the bfiseball world, but Garry Herrmann is expected to appoint a new manager this week. B INGLE, the Soldiers’ end.

If the golfer is a good sport he remembers his good shots, he 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.
