Only Three Members of Harvard
Eleven Picked—Two Players
From Michigan.

N KW YORK, Dec. 4 Here Is our
selection of the first and arc

Craig On yon
(Michigan) ..h. b.... (Cftrliule)
Brli kley Kichenlaub
(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 back-
field and one in the line may look
odd. But, all things considered, it
isn't odd. Home persons are of Un
belief that because Harvard grabbed
off the Kastern honors the champion
ship team ought to be composed
mostly of Harvard men. We don’t.
As u team, Harvard ranked as one
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 tin Job.
Craig, like Hrlckley, 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 mis been seen.
The selection of a mate on the first '
eleven 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 ranking 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.
Derais. at quarterback, rounds out
a wonderful backfleld combination.
As a Meld general for Notre Dame he
proved himself a wonderful player
throughout the season. He Is her
alded as u.e greatest man at handling
the forward pass In the West. Dos-
Jardien. the Chicago center, like
Briekley, is without a worthy rival.
Merrlllat, 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 ai
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.

CHICAGO, Doc. 4. The National
Baseball Commission has not aban
doned its efforts to suppress the prac
tice of signing the names of base
ball players and managers to articles
written by other persons, according
to Ban B. .Johnson, president of the
American League.
Mr. Johnson said last night the
question probably would be discussed
ut the n«*xt meeting of the commis
sion, and sortie further action taken
unless the practice is discont nued. He

few days. *
Tech High Elects
Weston Captain of
Next Season's Team
Gene Weston, the star halfback of the
Tech High School football team, has
been named capialn of tin lPI4 eleven.
Bill Bedell, Weston's running mate
at the ofher half, was re-elected man
ager of the eleven. Bedell held this po
sition during the past season so suc
cessfully that he was unanimously cho
sen to manage the affairs of the team
next season
The prospects for a splendid eleven in
1 '* 14 are bright. But one man of this
year’s team will not be back.

First Let.er of Series From Members of Champion Crackers
HARRY WELCHONCE WRITES TO ATLANTA FANS
r§ I'//'- ^porting F.dttor of The Georgian has written each member of the Crackers to send him a letter
1 tailing just what the diamond warriors of the champions of the Southern League arc doing during the
off-season To-day we print Letter \ o. 1. It is!from Harry Wclchoncc, captain of next season's team
It is a bright. breezy letter and ought to be rare food for the real dyed-in-thc-wool fans,
the Crackers trill follow.
Other letters from
Greenville, Pa., Dec. 2, 1913.
W. S. Farnsworth, Sporting Editor
The Georgian:
Dear Bill—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 i »r
departure from Atlanta but I might
state that it was another ease 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,
he 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 want 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., 1 came di
rectly North and joined the inde
pendent team at this place, which was
it that time making history in inde
pendent circles. I played ten games
with them before the close of their
tv asen. 1 hit an even .41*0 and fielded
1.000. and then fore had the honor of
leading the dub in hitting. We
j trimmed the Indianapolis (Federal
j League club) two out of three, an i
j tit's was the club that won the pen
nant in the Federal. The Pittsburg
Federal* managed to win one gam
while we were there that weighed 57
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,
it being the chief iron-ore carrying
road of the United States Steel Cor
poration. 1 have been kept pretty
busy ever since. This road has its
headquarters here, and rn.v experi
ence during the winter months to:
the past few years, also before my
debut as a professional ball player,
has earned for me the title of Jaca-
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 hone to take up where I left
off (he 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 1 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
again to be a formidable bunch, .‘a-
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 will continue to be the motio
through the 1914 season, and that
some more baseball history will be
made before the curtain is rung down
on the same. Yours trulv,
HARRY M. WELCHONCE.

17 Teams to Uompete
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’’ and a "grinder” in each
combination.
This policy has always tended here
tofore to keep the riders hustling all
the time. As the men wno 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

THE MODERN HOLDOUT.
The ancient holdout used to say:
"I'll join my old profession”—
4 bluff that always filled us with
fatigue;
Cut note he never mentions work,
but joins the big procession
That makes a bluff to join the
Federal League.
Eill Sweeney says he doesn’t want
to manage the Reds, demonstrating
that Johnny Evers is not the only
brainy second baseman in the j-i -
fesh.

After the final game here we were
:rented to a ten-dav vacation at the
favorite summer resort of Pennsyl
vania, namely. Conneaut Lake, which
lias sonuji In autiful scenery and is on*
of the prettiest lakes in the country,
abounding in all kinds or game fish.
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

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 I
he made against odds. The battle that
Cross put up would win nin^ battles
out of ten I can not say that no was
outclassed, but Rivers proved lAm-
self cleverer, faster, a better puncln r
and equally as cool headed.
Any other sort of a battle would
have produced different results i’.»r
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 ift 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.
