(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.

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.

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.

FOR A ROUSING GOOD TIME, YOU CAN’T BEAT THE OLD DUTCH MILL •stabllshed In independent baseball. 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 cool head on his shoulders and used We certainly enjoyed ourselves to the ! more brains in directing his efforts ] limit at this resort, having every- I than 1 previously had given him cred- thing essential to do so at our com-' it for having.

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. you are debating what to Jo amusement and recreation, the Dutch Mill, and if you are satisfied you had better con sult a doctor, for you are really sick.
