MEMPHIS, TBJNN., 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 ru: excellent au thority it is learned that Hilly 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 male a farm of the Memphis club, Inasmuch as Manager Nentell has be*'B granted every favor asked of Manager Finn, of the locals. 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 will nteatt that a lot of money will bo spent, and we all know how the average magnate loves to spend money. YES—WHY?

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 backfleld. Ray Morrison, the former Yandy star, will be at quarter. This backfleld should he 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. -x *r jHEN 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 pa@9, as he heaves the oval with wonderful accuracy.

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 c.rperts 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, Hut when they picked\ their alt star teams they picked the very same. r-w^VHE golfing business man has a s peculiarly good feeling on the Monday succeeding a week-end ■pent 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. 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 ly the Cincinnati Exhibition Com ►any, which is now making an exhi- lition 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 baseball world, but Garry Herrmann is expected to appoint a new manager this week. Surgeons and embalmers agree with i Alonzo Stagg on the theory that the ] present football rules are too rigid. Only fourteen were killed and 172 in jured this year.

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.

A wonder at mndllng the forward pass, a heady held general, a sure catcher of punts, a fine tackier and a brilliant runner. ie belongs to the first eleven taking e position from Russell, the fast hicago pivot man. It has been many years since the West has seen : ny halfback that equalled Craig, the mighty Michigan backfleld man. His “Trifle line smashing and his won derful ability in circling the ends was argely responsible for Michigan's victories. Norgren, of Chicago, an other marvelous player, is a worthy nartner to Craig in the backfleld. Selecting the fullback from three mdidates was a difficult job. ''ichenlaib, of Notre Dame; Shaugh- *ssv. of Minnesota, and Pierce, of hicago, played wonderful games at heir positions in the center of the 'tokfield, but because of their slight -uperiority over Shaughnessy on the lefense.
