This is Bell’s sec ond year on the team. He has played guard and tackle respectively, for the past two seasons. RINGSIDE NOTES Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion of the world, says that he will agree to give .loe Rivers a return match at Ver non, Cal., providing Promoter MeCarey guarantees him $15,000 for the boui. Ritchie is now training for ids match with Tommy Murphy ai San Francisco on December 10 Milwaukee fans refuse to become ex cited over tlie Packey McFarland-Jack Britton go in the Brewer City Monday night. The fact that both boys have agreed to fight at catch weights has taken much interest from the fray. Packey will probably weigh around 145 against 138 for Britton. “Kid'' Williams was handed a neat trimming from the club that promoted his scrap with Bodimen in Milwaukee on Thanksgiving Day. Williams claims that he was guaranteed $800. but that the promoters refused to part with more than $500 after the scrap The bantam weight scrapper has put in a complaint with the Wisconsin boxing commission. Klaus, Clabby and Gibbons are all good 158 pounders. Chip at the present time seems to have the best claim tp the ti tle. .due to his knockout win over Klaus. Clabby, however, is a close sec ond. Billy Gibson, the New York promoter, is about tired of putting on heavy weights. The poor strap put up the other night by Carl Morris and Willard was enough to discourage any promoter. Frank Baker may be matched to box some boy In New Orleans before long. Baker has asked T. D. Tortorich, the Pelican Otiy promoter, for a match there with any boy weighing from 122 to 130 pounds. While waiting for an an swer from Tortorich Frank will prac tice tango dancing He claims it im proves his cleverness. Jem Maloney, manager of Bombar dier Wells, writes that there is consid erable betting on the Wells-Carpentier fight in Londdn on December 8. Ac cording to Maloney, \\ ells has been made an even money bet against the Frenchman. “1 expect Wells to win inside of twelve rounds,” says Maloney.

Cauliflower ears and mushroom noses are badges of prize ring inefficiency. So says Jack Root, one-time prominent middleweight and now theatrical man. Root is out of the ring gahu*. but can not refrain from roaming about places where gloves fly Root thinks pugilists of to-day have forgotten all about the art of clever ness and fail to study the finer points of the game. Outside of Willie Ritchie. Johnny Kilbane and Mike Gibbons there Is not a boxer in the game to-day who can compare with the stars of former years such as Jim Corbett. Kid McCoy. Abe Attell. Tommy Ryan and a score of others, according to Root The middleweight division is the owner of some high class fciaterial at the pres ent time. Chip,■ Dillon. McGoorty, 'Big Six' Should Be Kept in Game-Tener NEW YORK. Dec. 6.—Here are the six cardinal views of Governor John Toner, of Pennsylvania, who has ac cepted a four-year term as president of tlie 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. empires rule the field, but at the same time should consider the public. 0 I am proud of having been a pro fessional baseball player. In an interview published here to-day Governor Tener. who,will he the highest 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.

McAllister is working tip at Dal Hawkins’ quarters, I and those who have looked him over say he will prove an agreeable surprise. N ashville, tenn., Dec. 6.—se lecting an All-Southern foot ball eleven is never an easy task, since primarily it becomes nec- ess|ry to have had an opportunity of see£Wg all the S. I. A. A. teams in ac tion, which conditions majte It prac tically impossible to do. But this year it has been my privilege, in the ca- pacity of official and as 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 best 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 players. Only In the case of Hikes and Dutton, whom I have shifted to fullback and tackle, have I 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 defen sively in the South to-day. Pie is Hie fiercest and surest tackier in the game, never failing to stop his man and very seldom is he fooled on a play. But for his fumbling Sikes, in my opinion, would be easily tRe most valuable all-round player in the gam*'. Brown and Robinson at Ends. Picking a pair of ends is easy, for Brown, of Vanderbilt, and Robinson, of Auburn, spread-eagled the field on the flanks. Both were reliable in stooping sweeps 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 Robin»on. The work of Tom Brown, of Van derbilt. despite the fact that he was of no use to his team foe three games on account 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 .in 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. 1 his season's crop of guards was nothing out of the ordinary. The^e was not a man who played the slashing, fighting style of game ?u» did Metzger for Vanderbilt In paq seasons. Thigpen, of Auburn. an*l McCalium, of Sewanee, were best nf their class. Both were bulwarks nf defense, not only checking opponents but Thigpen was able often to break ; through and pick off one of the se •• ondary defense w r hen his team had the ball. w Y. In he Boensch 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 positio.i Boensch is undoubtedly the best quar ter in the South, having advanced ‘hty ball farther than any other backfie’d man. not exceptir." McWhorter a Newell. Up is by long odds the beq punter who appeared on the Southern gridiron this year, is hard as nails and a hard man to stop. Backfield Looks Good. Even though there was a wealth of backfield material to select from. McWhorte*, of Georgia, and Newell, of Auburn, w r ere so far ahead of the field at the halves that no question can be raised over their selection They were fine eijd runners, went in fast and low, stood no end of pun ishment and yet performed in a cred itable manner at all ti.nes. Sikes I have discussed at some length abov, 1 This team would have a stonewall defense, aggressive forwards, an ex ceptional punter in Boensch and plen ty of drive and scoring power in th* backfield. for wit be scr V bel M Federals to Quit Chicago; May Put Club in Milwaukee NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—If the report that gained circulation in basebau quarters here to-day is to be believed, the Federal L*eague will abandon Fh 1 * cago next season.
