Keeler. *1 x 7ITH the passing of Olfarley YY 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 present organi zation, and at another time nearly disrupted it again. For ten years Frank has been *he leader of the Pelicans, and last sea son is the only one of the uecade that didn't see the Pels up and fighting for, if not actually winning, pennants. He has been a good manager, as he was a good ball player. • * * T HAT was quite a long time ago when Charley was a hall olayer. More than twenty years a so Frank’s playing with the Memphis club in the old Southern League attracted atten tion, and when the league disbanded oji 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 tecame manager of the club. The following year, however, found him back in the big show, playing .i crack outfield game for the Columbus team of the American League. • • • FRANK played several seasons with * Columbus, and then returned to Memphis, where, during the w inter of 1900-1901, he 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 the. present Southern League stands largely as a memorial to their sound idelis and sensible management. * * * FRANK took charge of the Pell- * cans the year after they had fin ished a frightful season under the al leged management of three different men. In a single season lie made a hall club out of a near-minstrel 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 havo 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! Stein Stone Picks All-Southern v*v v**I* #4* Boensch Gets Place at Quarter 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, but. although handicapped by be ing compelled t<> pitch for an unusually poor team, at times has showed flashes 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 spltter Somers and Birmingham think he will be a winner If added to the Naps' staff With a gang of swatsmen behind him like Blrmy’s boys it i s fig 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 whan he first came from the minors. But he lias not improved to any extent Fntll six weeks before the last season closed Kahler did not have anything which resembled a curve ball. After lie had added the twist to his pitching re pertolre Manager Birmingham gave him another chance to show what he could do against rea. matters George failed to make a favortrolV depression with the fans Kahler is weak with men on the bases He seems able tn go very well until a tran reaches first Then when he is forced to cut out his swing lie loses ef fectiveness. Athletic Club Five Plays First Game Of Season To-night The Atlanta Athletic Club will open its basket ball season to-nig lit when they stack up against the Bessemer Athletic Club on the local team’s floor. The Alabama boys were defeated last night in Columbus, Ga.. by the Columbus boys, the score being 59 to 13. They, however, expect to give the Athletic Club boys a tough argu ment. The game starts at 8:30. The line-up of the two teams will probably be: Bessemer. Positions. Atlanta. R. S. Clay (Capt), L F. Forbes Donaldson R. F Smith Houston C .DuBard CCapt.) I. Clay L.

Dec 8 At a meeting of tlv- football team yester day U. S. Bell was elected captain for the 1914 team. This is Bell’s sec ond year on the team. He has played guard and tackle respectively, for the past two reasons. RINGSIDE NOTES Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion of the world, says that he will agree to give Joe Rivero a return match at Ver non. Cal., providing Promoter McCarey guarantees him $15,000 for the bout. Ritchie is now training for his match with Tommy .Murphy at San Francisco on December 10. • * * Milwaukee fans refuse to become ex cited over the Packey McFarland-Jack Britton go in the Brewer City Monday night. The fact that both boys have agreed to fight at catchweights 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 Lodi men 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. * * • Hem Maloney, manager of Bombar dier Wells, writes that there is consid erable betting on the Wells-Carpentier fight in London on December 8. Ac cording to Maloney, Wells has been made an even money bet against the Frenchman. "I expect Wells to win inside of twelve rounds.” says Maloney. • * * Sam Irfingford is on his way to Eu rope, where he hopes to get a bout with Jack Johnson. Langford left New York Thursday night. • * * Johnny Coulon. bantamweight cham pion of the world, lias been matched to box Young Sinnett, in a scheduled ten- roud bout on January 4 or 5. Racine, Wis . will probably get the match. * * • 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 game, 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 fall 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 yan compare with the stars of former years such as Jim Corbett, Kid McCoy. Abe At tell. Tommy Rvan and a score of others, according to Root. * * * The middleweight division is the owner of some high class material at the pres ent time. Chip, Dillon AIcGoorty, Klaus. Clabby and Gibbons are all good 158 pounders. Chip at the present time seems to have the best claim to 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 scrap 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 Ctiy promoter, for a match there with any boy weighing from 123 to 130 pounds. While waiting for an an swer from Tortorich Frank will prac tice tango dancing. He claims It im- Iiroves his cleverness. ‘Big Six’ Should Be Kept in Game'-Tener NEW YORK. 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, up<yi 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. 8. 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 l eague pointed out wbat he will try to do when be takes office. "I 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. The stock yards lad is on edge for his Britton fight Monday night and will wind up his work to-day. Stein Stone's Ali-Southern Elevens FIRST TEAM. Player. College. Position. E. Brown . . . .

BASEBALL SCRIBES TO MEET. | PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6.—Secretary | Weart to-day announced that the an nual meeting of the Baseba'l Writers’ Association of America will be held at New York on Tuesday. December 9. Bv Stein Stone. (Vanderbilt Line Coach and Former All-Southern Center.) N ashville, tenn., Dec. 6.—Se. lecting an All-Southern foot ball eleven Is never an easy task, since primarily it becomes nec essary to have had an opportunity o? seeing all the S. I. A. A. teams in ac tion. which conditions make 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 fed 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 players. Only in the case of Sikes 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. Hd is the 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 the most valuable all-round player in the game. Brown and Robinson at Ends. Picking a pair of ends is easy, p or 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 h1s team for 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 ar 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. The”e was not a man who played the slashing, fighting style of game as did Metzger for Vanderbilt In past seasons. Thigpen, of Auburn, an 1 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 sec ondary defense when his team had the bkll. Boensch Best Quarter. The selection of Boensch at,, quar ter will occasion no little cofnment and doubtless much criticism, proba bly on account of his mediocre gen eralship. Running from his positi* .1 Boensch is undoubtedly the best quar ter in the South, having advanced the ball farther than any other backfie-d man. not excepting McWhorter inJ Newell. He is by long odds the beet punter who appeared on the Southern gridiron this year, is hard as nails and a hard man to stop. Sackfield Looks Good. Even though there was a wealth of backfleld material to select from McWhorter, of Georgia, and Newel!, of Auburn, were so far ahead of the field at the halves that no question can be raised over their selecti-m They were fine end runners, went in fast and low, stood no end of pun ishment and yet performed in a cred itable manner at all ti les. Sikes T have discussed at some length abov<* This team would have a stonewall defense, aggressive forwards, an ex ceptional punter in Boensch and plen ty of drive and scoring power in tha backfleld. Federals to Quit Chicago; May Put Club in Milwaukee NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—If the report that gained circulation in baseball quarters here to-day is to be the Federal League will abandon ChE cago next season. Milwaukee will be taken Into the circuit. James Gilmore, who backed the Chicago Federal leagu* club last year, believes, It Is said, thA* It Is useless to try for the White and Cubs patronage, and furthermore that there isn’t a park in Chicago enough fhr the Feds. The promoters, it sema, graduaUy steering away from a conflict wnn in* malor leagues and are AA make headway against the Class American Association. Afilwaukee. in their opinion.
