In Schwartz, their quarterback and captain, the soldiers have one of the best hurlers of the forward pass that has ever been seen in this section.

Keeler. \ \ 7 ITH P ass ^ r »K of Charley VY Frank, the Southern League loses a pioneer ball player and manager, a wise old head, and a baseball politician who had much ,to do with forming the predent organi zation, and at another time nearly disrupted it again. For ten years Prank has been *he leader of the Pelicans, and last se»- son is the only one of the decade that didn’t see the Pels up and fighting for, if not actually winning, pennants. He has been a good manager, as hq was a good baW player. T HAT was unite a long time ago when Charley was a hall Hayer. More than twenty years ago Frank's playing with the Memphis club in the old Southern League attracted atten tion, and when the league disbanded on account of a.yellow fever epidemic Frank went to the St. Louis team of the old National League. The Southern League was reorgan ized in 1895. and Frank returned to Memphis and Vecame manager of the club. <* The following year, however, found him back in the’ big show, playing • crack outfield game for the Columbus team of the American League. 17RANK played several seasons with ■» Columbus, and then returned to Memphis, where, during the winter of 1900-1901, lu* worked out the proposi tion of reorganizing he Southern League. Newt Fisher, of Nashville, and Abner Powell, then of New Or leans. aided the Dutchman, and th-3 present Southern League stands largely as a memorial to their sound ideas and sensible management. ’ I7RANK took charge of the Pel‘- * cans the year after they had fin ished a frightful season under the al leged management of three different men. In a single season he made a ball club out of a neat-minstr *1 show, and had It up and lighting for the pennant at the end. being beaten out by a narrow margin. Since then the Pels always have been a factor. It is true they fin ished In the cellar last season, but. finishing in the cellar, they decided the championship of the league by beating Mobile in the last game of the season. We should call that being a factor— what? Good old Dutchman—we wish him well! Russell Ford May Be Traded to Cleveland NEW YORK Dec. 6 -Russell Ford, for several years one of the most ef fective pitchers in the American League, may be found in a Cleveland uniform next season. A deal is pending which will give Chance George Kahler and one of the Nap youngsters in exchange for the famous spitball artist Ford has not been a world-beater in the last two years, hut. although handicapped by be ing compelled to pitch for an unusually poor team, at times has showed hashes of the form which caused him to be come known as one of the American League's best pitchers President Somers, of the Naps. is seeking two pitchers and an outfielder. Russell Ford is a right-hander, and a spitter. Somers and Birmingham think he will be a wlnrny If added to the Naps’ staff With a gang of swatsmen behind him like Birmy's boys it Is tig ured Ford would win as many games as he did In the days when the Yankees were a fast team. Kahler. who is mentioned in connec tion with the deal for Ford, had all the earmarks of making a great pitcher when he first came from the minors. But he has not improved to any extent. Until six weeks before the last season closed Kahler did not have anything which resembled a curve ball. After he had added the twist to his pitching re pertoire Manager Birmingham gave him another chance to show what he could do against real ha tiers George failed to make a favorable Impression with the fans.

Dec. 6.—Here are the six cardinal views of Governor John Tener. of Pennsylvania, who has ac cepted a four-year term as president of the National League at a salary of $25.- 000 per year, upon the great national game. 1. The game must be kept absolutely clean. 2. Baseball needs no doctor. If ev erything else were as healthy as base ball physicians would go out of busi ness. * 3. Present day ball players are no bet ter than the old-time players, but they give more attention to detail 4. Mathewson should not be allowed to quit the game. A man who has his ability in playing the game should get a club franchise when his playing days are over. 5. Umpires rule the field, but at the same time should consider the public. 6 I am proud of having been a pro fessional baseball player. In an interview published here to-day Governor Tener. who will be the highest paid man in baseball when he is of ficially chosen to head the National League pointed out what he will try to do when he takes office. "1 will not try to assume the role of doctor. ’ said Mr. Tener. a big. robust six-footer. "It wil be my purpose to see that the game is kept sanitary and avoid the little things which might tend to bring on disease. Baseball is healthy." Packey Turns Down Offer to Box Clabby In Long Go on Coast CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—Packey McFarland to-day turned down an offer of a 20- round battle on the Coast with Jimmy Clabby, Hammond’s crack middleweight. The offer came from Jimmy Coffroth. Clabby and Packey are very popular out West and "Sunny Jim" picked Jan uary 16 for the date. According to Cof froth. Clabby is dead anxious to battle the Chicago speed marvel, but since the very best the Hammond boy can do is 148 pounds. McFarland passed it up.

N ashville, tenn., Dec. 6.—se. lectingr an All-Southern foot ball eleven rs never an easy task, since primarily it becomes nec essary have had an opportunity of seeing-Nsnl the S. I. A. A. teams in ac tion. wrhieh. conditions make it prac tically impossible to do. But this year it has been my privilege, in the ca pacity of official and a scout for Vanderbilt, to have followed all the big elevens with the exception of Georgia and Louisiana State, so that I feel I have obtained a very fair es timate of the ability of the candi dates for the coveted honor of a posi tion on an All-Southern team. In choosing the above eleven. I have kept before me always the idea of picking the beet player with respect to position in the line up. which is my theory of an All-Southern selec tion—the best men in those particular positions, and not simply eleven good football playerg. Only in the case of Sikes and Dutton, whom I have shifted to fullback, have 1 moved a man out of his position, and as for that matter Sikes has had much experience at full. In my opinion, Sikes is by long odds the most valuable player offen sively in the South to-day. He is the fiercest and surest tackier in the game, never failing to stop his man and very seldom is he fooled ofi a play. But for his fumbling Sikes, in my opinion, would be easily the most valuable all-round player in the game. Brown and Robinson at Ends. Picking a pair of ends is easy, tor Brown, of Vanderbilt, and Robinson, of Auburn, spread-eagled the field on the flanks. Both were reliable in stooping sweens around their wings. They also possess a whirl of speed in covering kicks. Carroll, of Tennes see; Vandergraff. of Alabama, and Taylor, of Auburn, were good ends, but stood little chance against Brown and Robinson. The work of Tom Brown, of Van derbilt. despite the fact that he was of no use to his team for three games on acoount of a fractured ankle sustained in the Michigan game, stamps him as the best tackle of the year. He was without a peer backing up the line. Dutton, of L. S. U., would make an excellent running mate for Brown. Pitts Picked for Center. Pitts, of Auburn, is my choice at center over Morgan, of Vanderbilt, his nearest contender. Pitts' passing was at all times above criticism, and the use of his hands on the defense was one of his best qualities. This season’s crop of guards was nothing out of the ordinary. There was not a man who . played the Federals to Quit Chicago; May Put Club in Milwaukee NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—If th© report that gained circulation in baseball quarters here to-da$ r la to be believed, the Federal League will abandon Chi cago next season.

HUGHES 16' Opp A No i orth Broad Street, Atlanta, Ga J slashing, fighting style of game as did Metzger for Vanderbilt in pa*t seasons. Thigpen, of Auburn, and McCallum, of Sewanee, were best of their class. Both were bulwarks of defense, not only checking opponents, but Thigpen was able often to break through and pick off one of the se - ondary defense when his team had the ball. Eoertsch Best Quarter. The selection of Boensch at quar ter will occasion no little comment and doubtless much criticism, proba bly on account of his mediocre gen eralship. Running from his position Boensch is undoubtedly the best quar ter in the South, having advanced f h ball farther than any other backfield man. not excepting McWhorter anl Newell. Ho -is by long odds the be.-t punter who appeared on the Southern gridiron this year, is hard as nai 3 and a hard man to stop. Backfield Looks Good. Even though there was a wealth of backfield material to select from McWhorter, of Georgia, and Newell, of Auburn, were so far ahead of tho field at the halves that no question can be raised over their selection. They were terrific line plungers, went in fast and low. stood no end of pun ishment and yet performed in a cred itable manner at all ti ties.
