Mahan Norgren
(Harvard) ...h. b.... (Chicago)
Craig Guyon
(Michigan) ..h. b (Carlisle)
Brlckley Eichenlaub
(Harvard) ...f. b.. (Notre Dame)
The fact that we have given places
on the All-American team only three
members of the championship Har
vard aggregation two in the baek-
fleld and one in the line may look
odd But, all things considered, it
isn’t odd. Some persons are of th»-
belief that because Harvard grabbed
off the. Eastern honors the champion
ship team ought to be composed
mostly of Harvard men. We don’t.
As a team, Harvard ranked as on**
of the greatest that ever was welded
together. As individuals, only three
seemed to outrank their rivals in the
East and West.
In making the fullback selection for
our All-American team there was no
hesitancy. Brlckley stands head and
shoulders over any rival, and Is the
unanimous selection for the Job.
Craig, like Brlckley, 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 nas been seen.
The selection of a mate on the first
ele.ven for Craig Involved more con
sideration— and more cussing than
that concerning any other position.
With Mahan, of Harvard; Guyon, of
Carlisle and Norgren, of Chicago, to
choose from, each van king among the
greatest men that ever wore a head
gear, it was quite a sizeable task.
Finally we settled upon Mahan, solely
because he seems to excel slightly
in punting.
Demis, at quarterback, rounds out
a wonderful backfield combination.
As a field general for Notre Dame in-
proved himself a wonderful player
throughout the season. He Is her
alded as me greatest man at handling
the forward pass in the West. Des-
Jardien, the Chicago center, like
Brlckley, Is without a worthy rival.
Merrillat, of the Army, and Hog
sett, of Dartmouth, are elected to
places on the first eleven because of
wonderful, consistent work through
out the season. Pontius, of Michi
gan. and Hitchcock, of Harvard, rank
as the best men that essayed the
tackle roles.
Brown, the burly Navy guard and
great placement goal kicker, is the
best all-round man who played at
that position during the year, with
Kellar, the Wisconsin giant, taking
next place and deserving the posi
tion as Brown’s mate as All-Ameri
can guard.

W S. Farnsworth, Sporting Editor
The Georgian:
Dear Bill—Received your letter a
few days ago requesting a story- from
trie as to my doings since leaving At
lanta. I hardly know how to atari
this, but will do the best I can to
give you at least a varied account of
same.
Of course, you have all the dopo
on our series at Knoxville after our
departure from Atlanta, but I might
state that it was another case of “a
I 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,
the boys were mighty tired after our
hard finish, and did not play with the
dash and vim that characterized their
work during the last two weeks >f
play, for if they had it would have
been curtains for the Class D outfit
from the start. But in speaking of
this I do not w'ant to take any cred
it from them, as they 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
rectly North and Joined the inde
pendent team at this place, w'hich was
at that time making history in inde
pendent circles. 1 played ten games
with them before the close of their
season. I hit an even .400 and fielded
1,000. and therefore had the honor of
leading the club in hitting. We
trimmed the Indianapolis (Federal
League club) two out of three, and
this was the club that won the pen
nant In the Federal. The Pittsburg
Federals managed to win one game
out of five from us. The Indianapolis
club really had about a second-divi
sion club in a (Mass 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
rented to a ten-day vacation at the
favorite summer resort of Pennsyl
vania. namely. Conneaut Lake,-which
has some beautiful scenery and is one
of the prettiest lakes in the country,
abounding in all kinds of game fish,
j We certainly enjoyed ourselves to the
j limit at this resort, having every
thing essential to do so at our com
mand. due to the liberality of Mr.
Brown, owner of the club, who saved
no expense to make our stay there one
long to be remembered.
We were not very successful In the
fishing line, as it was our ambition to
land some big ones, but from two co
four pound bass were our limit, al
though they landed one muscallonge
w-hile we were there that weighed 51
pounds—but we were not in on the
killing
After returning from this vacation |
I resumed duty with the Bessemer
and Lake Erie Railroad at this point, j
it being the chief iron-ore carrying
road of the United States Steel Cor
poration. I have been kept pretty
busy ever since. This road has its
headquarters here, and rny experi
ence during the winter months fo;
the past few years, also before my
debut as a professional ball player,
has earned for me the title of Jack-
of-All-Trades, and one day mav find
me* in the dispatcher’s office, etc. I
expect to continue here until it is
time to report for spring practice,
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 the second time in
two years in a league the caliber of
the Southern, where there are always
so many really good pitchers as has
been the case since I Joined their
ranks.
Now that I have been honored with
the position of captain of the Crack
ers for the coming season by Man
ager Smith, I expect to be on the job
from the jump and hope to do as well
(If not better) than during the past
season. While the loss of Smith, Bis-
land, Conzelman and company is
quite a blow, I look for the Crackers
agaip to be a formidable bunch, ca
pable of holding their own with any
of them and in the running all the
time.
Let’s hope that the never-die spir
it w T ill continue to be the motfo
through the 1914 season, and that
some more baseball history will be
made before the curtain is rung down
on the same. Yours truly.

17 Teams to Compete
In Six-Day Bike Race
At New York Sunday
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Seventeen
teams will comorise the fi Id of the
twenty-first annual international six-
day bike race, which w'ill begin one
minute after midnight Sunday at
Madison Square Garden. In th** pair
ings of the men every consideration
has been made to arrange mi rs .n
such fashion that there will be a
“sprinter” and 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 w r orld,
and as special prizes w-ill be hung
up as an incentive toward speed, it is
expected that a new record will re
sult.

the jumps and rumors of jumps of some
of his crack players to the Federal

through the Southwest. Agnew, the
Brown’s best catcher, has admitted sign

is worried over the reports that Baum

others have joined or intend to join the
new league.

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 Turkey Day fight
in the following story, and declares
Joe deserves another crack at the ti
tle.
By James J. Jeffries.
I OS ANGELES, Dec. 4.—Joefliv-
ers fought like a champion, and
his victory over Leach Crass
wag a natural result. Any time that
Rivers puts up such a fight he i9
worth a bet against any lightweight
living.
It was the best battle I ever saw.
and in going back over the fight by
rounds I am unable to offer a single
criticism of his tactics or of his con
duct in the ring.
Throughout the battle he kept a
cool head on his shoulders and used
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 as he went along and box
ing and fighting at his best form, ne
was invincible. There never was a
ii.’ne when I feared that he might
lose, especially after the first three
rounds
Rivers' one big f^ult in the pas^ has
been his carelessness in the ring, his
pronenesg 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 the
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 tha;
(.Toss put up would win nine battles
out of ten I can not say that he was
outclassed, but Rivers proved him
self cleverer, faster, a better puncher,
and equally as cool headed.
Any other sort of a battle would
have produced different results tor
Rivers, no doubt. While he was al
ways leading by at least a slight
margin. Cross was ever alert, watch
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 general, 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 by
his showing, and I would like to see
these boys matched for a bout here.
