As a team. Hnrvard ranked a? one
of the greatest that ever was welded
together. As Individuals, only three
seemed to outrank their rivals In the

In making the fullback selection for
our All-American team there was no
hesitancy. Brickley stands head and
shoulders over any rival, and is the
unanimous selection for the Job
Craig, like Brickley. ranks as the
peer of those who played at the half
back position during the past season
As an all-round halfback his equal
seldom riat been seen
The selection of a mate on the first
eleven for Craig Involved more con
federation and more cussing than
that concerning any other position.
With Mahan, of Harvard; Guyon, of
Carlisle, and Norgren, of Chicago, to

greatest men that ever wore a head

Mcrrillat, of the Army, and Hog-

places on the first eleven because of

busy ever since. This road has its
headquarters here, and my experi
ence during the winter months for
the past few years, also before my
debut as a professional ball player,
has earned for me the title of Jacu-
of-All-Trades, and one day may flnJ

which I wish was to-morrow, and
then I hope to take up where I left
off the past season.
Now that the official averages of
the Southern League have been re
leased. I can’t help but feel just a
little proud of being declared the
leading hitter for tlie second time in
two years in a league, the caliber of
the Southern, where there are always
so many really good pitchers ;fs has
been the case since 1 joined their
ranks.
Now that I have been honored with
the position of captain of the Crack

from the jump and hope to do as well
(if not better) than during the pasi

?///’ Sporting Editor of The Georgian has icrittcn each member of the Crackers to send him a letter
telling just what the diamond warriors of the champions of the Southern League are doing during the
off-season. To-day we print Letter Xu. 1. It is from Harry Welch once t captain of nc.rt season's team.
It is a bright, breezy letter and ought to be rare fond for the real dyed-in-the-wool fans. Other letters from
the Crackers will follow.
Greenville. Pa., Dec-. 2. 1913.
W. S. Farnsworth, Sporting Editor
The Georgian:
Dear BUI—-Received your letter a
few’ days ago requesting a story from
me .as to my doings since leaving At
lanta. I hardly "know how to start
this, but will do the best I can to
give you at least a varied account of
same.
Of course, you have all the dope
on our series at Knoxville after our
departure from Atlanta, but I might
state that it was another case of “a
short series is no proof of the strength
of a ball club," as we had a hard*
time getting a draw with them in
the three games played. Of course,
tlie boys were mighty tfred after ou.’
hard finish, and did not play with the
dash and vim tl.at characterized their
work during the last two weeks of
play, for if they had it would have
been curtains for the (’lass D outfit
from the start. But 1n speaking of
this I do not want to take any cred
it from them, as tlu y were strength
ened with other players from the Ap
palachian. and no >ubt were the
class of their league
After leaving Knoxville, I came di- |
reetly North and joined t4- ind r> - j
pendent team at this place, which was I
at that time making history in indo- j
pendent circles. I played ten games
with them before the close of their I
season. 1 hit an even .400 and fielded I
1.000. and therefore had the honor of |
leading the club in hitting. We
trimmed the Indianapolis (Federal
league club) two out' of three. nn|
this was the club that won the pen
nant in the Federal. The Pittsburg
Foderals managed to win one game
out of five from us. The Indianapolis
club really bad about a second-divi
sion club in a Class A league, but the
Pittsburg club—well, the least said,
the better about Class C would
catch them.
This club here won 53 games, lost 7
and tied 2. meeting all comers, re
gardless of class, even 'holding the
Giants To a 7-to-4 score, and mak
ing one of the greatest records ever
established In independent baseball.
After the final game here we were
treated to a ten-day vacation at the
favorite summer resort o;’ Pennsyl
vania. namely, Conneaut Lake, which
has some beautiful scenery and is one
I of the prettiest lakes in the country,
abounding in all kinds of game fish.
I We certainly enjoyed ourselves to !he
j limit it this resort, having ever.v-
j thing essential to do so at our com-
I mand. due to the liberality of Mr.
Brown, owner of the dub. who saved
j no expense to make our stay there one
long to be remembered.
We were not very successful In ho
fishing line, as it was our ambition to
land some big ones, but from two to
four pound bass were our limit, Al
though they landed one muscallonge
! while we w ere there that weighed 57
j pounds—but w e were not in on the
j killing
After returning from this vacation

17 Teams to Compete
In Six-Day Bike Race
At New York Sunday
NEW YORK, Dec. 4 - Seventeen
teams will comprise the field of the
twenty-first annual international six-
day bike race, which will begin one
minute after midnight Sunday at
Madison Square Garden. In the pair
ings of the men every consideration
has§ been made to arrange matters in
such fashion that there will be a
“sprinter” ajud a "grinder” in each
combination.
This policy has always tended here
tofore to keep the riders hustling all
the time. As the men who will com
pete this, season are the very best
professional performers of the world,
and as special prizes will be hung
up as an incentive toward speed, it is
expected that a new record will re
sult.
Hedges Worried Over
His Players Signing |
With Federal League
ST LOVIS. MO., Dec. 4—Alarmed by j
the jumps and rumors of jumps of some
of his crack players to the Federal
League. Robert Lee Hedges, of fh© St.
Louis Americans, has cut short his trip
through the Southwest. Agnew. the
Brown’s best catcher, has admitted sign- I
ing with the Federals, and Hedges now
is worried over the reports that Baum- j
gardner, Williams. Weilmah and several j
others have joined or intend to join the
new league.
THE MODERN HOLDOUT.
The ancient holdout used to say:
"I'll join my old profession”—
A bluff that always filled us with
fatigue;
But now he never mentions work,
but joins the big procession
That makes a bluff to join the
Federal League.
Bril Sweeney says he doesn't want
to manage the Reds, demonstrating
that Johnny Evers is not the only
brainy second baseman in the pro-
\
fesh.
Those who have heard Doc White
• n the act of singing predict that
there will be plenty of harmony on
bis new ball team.

J IM JEFFRIES, former heavy
weight champion, witnessed the
Cross-Rivers battle in Los An
geles on Thanksgiving Day. Yester
day he was asked to give his opinion
of the Mexican's chances against
Champion Willie Ritchie. Jeff sum
med up the entire Turke\ Day fight
in the following story, and declares
Joe deserves another crack at the ti
tle.
By Janies J. Jeffries.
I ()S ANGELES, Dec. 4.—Joe Riv-
ers fought like a champion, and
his victory over Leach Cross
was a natural result. Ar.v time that
Rivers puts up such a fight he is
worth a bet against any lightweight
living.
It was the best battle l ever saw.
and in going back over the fight by
rounds I am unable to otfer a single
criticism of his tactics or of his con
duct in the ring.
Throughout the battle he kept .•
cool head on his shoulders and us*- ;
more brains in directing his efforts
than I previously had given him cred
it for having. He fought a perfect
battle in every respect. Refusing to
be rattled or to lose his head by the
taunts of Cross, carefully planning
his battle a* he went along and box
ing and fighting at his best form, ne
was Invincible. There never was a
time when I feared that he might
lose, especially after the first three
rounds
Rivers' one big fault in e past b^s
i'cea bis carelessness lit tUc ring, .id
proneness to lose his head when
stung and leave himself open to at
tack by a wise ring general. Cross
used every device known to him in
an effort to get Rivers’ goat, but tne
Mexican was steady* at all times and
refused to fall for any of it. In my
opinion, this was one of the big fac
tors in his victory.
I can not criticise the battle that
Cross put up. He fully lived up to his
reputation for cleverness. brains,
punch and courage, and is entitled to
a great deal of credit for the showing
he made against odds. The battle that
Cross put up would win nine battles
out of ten. I can not say that he was
outclassed, but Rivers proved him
self cleverer, taster, a better puncher,
and equally as cool headed.
Any other sort of a battle would
have produced different results f.»r
Rivers, no doubt. While he was al
ways leading by at least a slight
margin. Cross w as* ever alert, w atch
ing constantly for a chance to get
over his right and win the fight in a
-single punch, and he was willing to
mix it and take a chance. He is a
shrewd ring generai, and Rivers had
to keep his head with him all the time
to assure victory for himself.
Rivers clearly won the right to de
mand a return match with Ritchie bv
his showing, and I would like to see
these boys matched for a bout here.
