So here goes. George Thomas. 1126 Warlo By "BABE" RUTH. FOR THE eighth consecutive year I find myself naming the annual All-America team. What started as the result of a clubhouse discussion back in 1921 has come to be an annual task in which I find increasing interest each year.

The job isn't an easy one. There are so the footballers taste the effects of baseball, desk baseball blotter, Babe Ruth underwear and 12 baseballs. All these latter awards were personally autographed by the Bambino. The winners of these latter awards are listed elsewhere on this page. Of the 30 winners.

AWAY to a bad start. Hornsby has been coming strong toward the end of the season and stands out now, as in other their home lot 8-4 after a great battle that was shortened by dark Coach Ross has not been a bit ness, Walter Heidler being the master of this contest, fanning 11 Smiler batters. The Smiitrs carried off a i the fair fans turned in a perfect North Side, Pittsburgh, was the lucky fan to win the first prize. It wasn't an easy matter determining the winner, for 23 perfect teams were submitted, and the judges were kept busy reading each letter accompanying the teams to decide the winner. After due deliberation George's 3-2 win on their home grounds in a regulation game that ended with a near-sized riot when one of the Civic playess was called out at the plate fot the final out, denying them the tying run.

Some remarkable pitching has lenient in his work with the Bobcats this year, for he has pushed the boys through every drill to date and progress is rapidly being made in the formation of the 1929 aggregation. Practically an entire new line must be built for the coming campaign and Coach Ross is losing no time in getting the rebuilding process under way. The 1929 Bobcat eleven will not pack much weight, but early observation shows the Methodist squad years, as the greatest of them all at his position. Whatever fielding weakness "Rog" may have (and it is slight enough) is more than made up for by his fighting spirit and his hitting ability. The test of Hornsby's greateness is the fact that he has been selected on seven of the eight.

All-America teams I have named with the writers. Lazerri and Gehringer have given him a good battle. They're both great ball players. But 1 letter was adjudged the best of the 23 submitted. His lineup, together with his letter, follows: team, while the other two missed in one position.

This year's contest from the fan's ability to select the outstanding players in the big leagues was the most successful since the contest was started in 1927. In both previous years but three perfect teams were turned in, while this year 23 were received. The number with just one player missing in the two previous years was about 30, while in the contest just ended 174 of these were submitted. The judges in perusing the immense number of selections turned in took a census of the various selections of the fans, and found that beeti shown in the play-ofl series; first Keidler exhibited some fine hurling in the first encounter and many good men for every position: iso many men who are almost on a par, that the final selection is always difficult. To select a team that will please everyone is, of course, impossible.

Not this year, or any year, are there 10 players who stand out so prominently in their various positions that they can be picked without argument. No doubt there will be differences of opinion this year as there have been in other seasons. In answer to those who disagree with my selections I can only say that I have made my selections without bias and according to my best judgment and the judgment of the sport writers who served on the committee with me. That there has been no prejudice Is best shown, I think, by the fact that I have named six men from the National Leaeue and only four from 'BABE' RUTH'S 1929 ALL-STARS Player Club Grove, Athletics Bush, Cubs Cochrane, Athletics Foxx, lb Athletics Hornsby, 2b Cubs Traynor, 3b Pirates Jackson, ss Giants Simmons.

His hitting, bad at the start, has improved steadily and his fielding during the late part of the season has been sparkling.
