THE WASHINGTON POST StJNDAT PECEMBER 25 1904. BASEBALL. GOSSIP SENATOR FRANK HUELSMAN seems destined for a. career of changing scenes. In 1903 he played with clubs in two leagues.

last year was a member of four dif ferent teams in the American League. and next season he Is booked to do some more moving over the baseball map. At present Hueluman is wandering on Uneasy street. not knowing what fate has in storo for him. but ho will not disappear from the diamond although he may not be seen in the American League.

Washington reserved the big. outfielder along with the others but It was anticipated at the close of the season that he would figure in trade or be sold outright Rumor has had it that ho wm so to Boston in exchange for Winter. and another rumor plats him in Milwaukee in the American Association. Ifuelsman did not make good" last year as the ability of players in the major leagues la measured. but under the' circumstances it was not surprising that he could not get into the stride' he reached in the minor leagues.

After play- Ing with Chicago. Detroit and St. Louis Huelsman came to Washington. and was given a regular place in the outfield. From that time on lie played better ball than in any of the other.

American cities. because he felt that he at last had found a- place to take off his hat and coat and stay awhile. It Ruelsinan remains In fast company It will be only because he can pound She ball out of the lot. for he is clumsy in the field and not speedy on the bases. Some of the catches the big fellow made last summer which looked spectacular a first-class fielder would have been under and waiting for the ball.

If he returns to Washington he will have to take his chances with the half dozen others who will make a strong bid for a place on the team. Huelsman attributed his weak batting last summer to. the tact that he was. being shifted from club to club. and it took way the confidence he would have felt had he been sure of a regular place.

In an interview at St. Louis he said I was with tour American League clubs in 1904. and. according to the newspapers I am booked for Cantlllons Mil waukee team In 1905. I have had no notice of my transfer to the American Association nor have I received assurances that I will remain in Washington but I do not expect to go back to the.

minors next spring. I did not hit as well as I expected for any of the tour teams I was with in 1904. but was tar more successful after I Joined the Senators and be- came settled. Up to. that assignment I was guessing where 1 would be he next day.

and the worry affected my work. I realize that I was up against the bet pitchers in the business. but at that I arp confident that I did not do myself justice and want another chance to. show that I can hit 300 or better. I am not making excuses or promises.

AU I want. is a berth with the Washington club. and I believe that Ill get it and keep it. Fine fielding kills many base hits and I saw grounds that would have gone for a couple of oases or more in a minor league turned into put outs by American League inflelders and the outfielders were killing drives that seemed safe when they started front the bat. After a new player has made.

the round of the circuit the pitch- ers and In and outfielders get a line on his batting peculiarities and the path from home to first base is full of difficulties. An understanding of the new drifting rule as suggested by the minor leagues rejected by the American League and In dorsed at the recent meeting of the National League. carries with It the conviction that both the major and minor leagues will be benefited by thee enact meat of the rule the former by not being compelled to pay for- as many players as formerly. and the latter through not having their ranks depleted by unlimited drafts. Under the new rule but one man' can be drafted from a club in Class AA and Class A two from Class clubs and an unlimited number from clubs in the classes below those mentlpned.

Where draft money formerly was paid In two In stalments one-half at the time of drafting and the final payment when the play- er was accepted for service. the following peason June 1 being the time limit un der the new rule not a cent of the draft money Is paid before the player is accepted on or before May 15. This means that the drafting club Is not out one cent of money it the drafted man fails to make good before May 15. How this will work to the financial Interest of the big leagues Is shown by the drafting figures of last year. The first payment made by the two major leagues to the' minor league clubs for players drafted in the fall of 1903 was something over 10000.

When it came. time for making the second payment more than one-half the players were rejected the final payments amounting to only 4900. In all. there was paid for dratted players about 15000. Had the same rule.

been in existence that is now being advocated the two big leagues would have paid only 9000 for drafting players or 6000 less than under existing rules. So tar year 17000 has been paid for drafted players this representing the first payment. Under the new rule less than this amount probably would have been Invested for drafted players and not one would have to be paid for unless he was accepted as. late as May 15. The new rula is an excellent measure for the minor leagues.

in that it does not allow for the depletion of the teams as formerly the loss of a man or two not being an extremely" serious matter. and thus a higher standard of baseball can be retained among the little fellows. The major leagues have been at peace for two- years and only a few of the war contracts survived last Retrenchment of salaries was possible for 1903 advisable this year. and almost imperative next season. The second division clubs cannot stand expenses they have.

carried for tour ears much longer. The profits in the first half of the race are offset by the losses' of the second period. of the race. when the chances of a respectable position are gone. A major league club which was 20000 to the good on July 15 quit the season with the bal- ance on the wrong side of its books.

The American League had the advantage of having five clubs with championship chances until near the end of lt season. The National League race was procession- al for months and the attendance was affected even at the Polo Grounds In the dosing series. The schedules. of the major leagues should be prepared and their sal sty and other expenses regulated so as to practically Insure the second division dubs a fair profit in their Investments. With 154 games provided for each club and salaries ranging from 40000 to $60.000 not more than halt the clubs in each league will escape a deficit on the season's business under ordinary conditions.

TJ3 average baseball fan has probably noticed that at the end of every season there is more or less talk of this or that baseball player quitting the business or Quitting his present team for the sake of becoming a magnate or manager in some minor league town. This year the. crop has been larger than usual but the re sult is Just the same not one of the bunch will quit the game voluntarily. In tact the players of consequence who have doffed the spangles of the diamond of their own volition are few and far between. Bill Lange the great outfielder was one and he has steadfastly refused to be coaxed back Into the game.

Joe Corbett quit the game but was finally induced to. break into it once more. John Ward. the famous infielder. was still good for a few' more years on the diamond when he abandoned the sport for law at which.

be is a success. Dr. Pond. the Baltimore twirler quit baseball to go to the Philippines as an army surgeon while Pete Hustlng of the Athletics gave up baseball for law. Another star pitcher that left the game while still in his prime was.

Lewis who formerly twirled for the Boston nationals. Mike Griffin the for- mer Brooklyn outfielder also quit while a. star. but the reason for his retirement was because he was sold to St. Louis and did not receive a portion of the purchase price.

He was worth 330000 it is said and consequently did not have to worry. There are others but not many. The first Qt last seasons players to start the rumor that' he was going to leave the btg league was Catcher Kllng of the Chicago Nationals whom rumor had to manage the Kansas City team. In tact Seleo began to worry but finally Kllng signed and the Chicago manager naturally was rendered extremely happy as Xllng is about the best backstop In that league. Then John Gantel and Jim McOuire.

first baseman and catcher re spectively of the Highlanders were slat- edto own manage and play with Grand Rapids In the Central League. This news floated around for several weeks but the proposed deal fell through. Jtggs Donahue Comlskeys first baseman was announced as the manager for 1906 of the Springfield team. of the Central League. This deal fell through.

another manager being secured. The latest Is that Chic Fraser is going to manage a team in a town named Akron Iowa. As Akron is credited with. only 1009 Inhabitants according to the last census and as Fraser has been traded to Boston by Philadelphia it Is more than likely that the last has been heard of this report. The two who were announced as having declared that they would quit the diamond In consequence of' fancied injuries or because an increase or salary was not forthcoming.

are Chesbro and McGinnity. the leading pitchers of their respective leagues. The chances are however that one wm not be able to keep either out of the game until his salary arm is pronounced dead. The American League players certainly have the call When it comes to the big colleges selecting baseball coaches. Yale has invited Billy Lush the Cleveland outfielder while Bill Clarke the Washing ton catcher will be at Princeton.

Jack Chesbro and Willie Keeler of the Highlanders will work together at Harvard. and Lew McAllister the former Detroit player will look after the University of Michigan candidates. Garland Stahl the Senators' first baseman will coach his former college players at Illinois and Jlggs Donahue will take charge of another Western college squad. Harry Tate who is to manage Cumberland next season is an old campaigner. He was a member of the Hagerstown Club of the Cumberland Valley League when it was filled with players who later came into national reputation.

Tate himself was In the National League. I shall never forget the hot battle tot the pennant and the deciding game with Chambersburg. says Tate. At the tag end of the season. 189 Chambersburg was leading by one game.

We played at Chambersburg. and when we had finished our half of the ninth had the game 2 to 1. Tom Llpp. who was in the Tristate last summer was pitching for us and' Whlty Shoenhut. the old U.

I of P. pitcher for Chambersburg. We got the first two men out. but old Andy Costello. who was playing left field for Chambersburg got away with a punk single into right field.

Then came Jimmy Sheckard. now the great National League fielder to the bat. I Sheckard walloped one. over our first baseman's head. It went up in the air and a mile away and cleared the fence fair.

Then it rolled foul. Umpire Llmk Manlove of Cumberland. called It a fair ball and Chambersburg took the game. The Hagerstown manager however was dissatisfied and appealed the decision to Nick Young then president of the National League. Young made the famous decision that Inasmuch as the ball had hit the ground in foul territory It was foul regardless of Its going over the fence fair.

That decision gave us the pennant. as we had beaten Carlisle the next day. Charlie Pittinger was a pitcher for Chambersburg at the time. Eastern League moguls Including George T. Stallings of Buffalo have been quick to deny the story reported to have come from Ed' Barrow to the effect that the Montreal club had dropped 10000 last season and that the Royals would be taken from.

the. CanadIan city and placed in Richmond. Va. Stalling and the rest of the owners Insist that Montreal will be la the league again next year. A number of managers of minor league clubs have their lines out for Bill Schwartz who played first base for a while last year.

and who completed the season by leading the Independent Association In' batting. Schwartz how- ever is still the baseball asset of the Cleveland club he having- been reserved at the close of the season. Some of the minor league managers are unaware of this fact and have negotiated directly with him. Schwartz does not wish to get into any trouble. and has ignored these communications altogether.

The management of the club is also in receipt of letters asking the clubs terms for his release. The chances are that the big fellow will go to some American Association team. That he is a corner all right is still the belief of the Cleveland club officials. Perhaps the real story of how Selbach was switched from the National to the American League and who made the ad- varce has never been printed says a Columbus paper. Selbach told of It the otter night at a.

little fan session. It was in the latter part of 1901. when the New Yorks were playing in Boston that the Washington American League club was' also playing the Boston Americans. Own- Sr Fred Postal approached him there that day and said How would ou like to play in the American League Kip Selbach replied. naturally Whatsin it Postal came back with Name your price.

He was then getting .400 and Kip asked hint for 3300 for a two- ear contract. Postal agreed to meet him in New York later and talk it over. The' day they ere to have played In New York it rained and Selbach did not get to see Postal. After the season he came back to Columbus and a letter came along from Manager Collins of Boston offering 3000 McGraw then wrote from Baltimore say- Ing- that he would like to have him. too.

Kelley and Seymour were spoken of as the other outfielders and McGraw said he wanted a good man to play with them Kip. replied that it the ealary question would be all' right he might play there. McGraw later went through Columbus and at a meeting at the Neil House Kip signed for two ears at 3 200. The strange part of it was McGraw- jumped back to the New York Nationals as manager in July of :902 and. asked him Have You Catarrh or Hay Fever If.

CANNOT MAKE BATTERS. Faults May Be Corrected but Hitting Hard Is a Gift Front the Chicago Tribune. It is curious how ballplayers can master almost anything for which there is a. demand except batting. A good player with natural ability can learn to play any po sition on the team if he devotee himself to it but no one elm learn to bat unless ho is a natural bitter.

A beginners batting can be Improved to be sure by correcting certain faults and veterans can up by COM tan practice. nut no amount of advice schooling or practice can make a 800 hitter out of a natural 200 bstter. It Is not long ago that there was a great demand for pitchers and It was it common remark that any stranger oould sign a contract for a good salary It he even told a manager he could pitch some. To-day there Is a plentiful supply of pitchers on the market. Even the tall-end clubs of the major leagues Washington and Philadelphia- had first-class pitching- material on their staffs last season and another crop has ripened since then from the minor leagues.

A dozen years ago It was one of the easiest things in the business to pick up a good catcher or first baseman and any man who could bat well was considered a. fair outfielder. Nowadays however there Is a. remarkable scarcity of catchers and first base- men. and an outfielder roust be something more than a fair batter and sure on the catch.

The dearth of catchers is most marked. One can count on his fingers the catchers who have not some pronounced weakness In their department of tho game. When such men as Duke Farrell. Jim McGuire and Joe ugden can not only play but make good" on some of the fastest teams in the world it Is proof that young players have been trying for other positions to the damage Qt the stock of backstops. That is not the only reason however.

Much of the scarcity of good Umber Is due to the greater requirements to make a successful catcher with the development or the science of baseball. A dozen years ago a man who could hold any pitchers' delivery had a good wing to prevent base stealing and could hit occasionally could draw a catchers salary. Mike Kelly the king of backstops was the first to develop the science of his position and since then the standard for catchers his been constantly raised. The modern backstop is a far more important part. of the teams machinery than at any other time In baseballs history.

In a general way the catcher Is as Important In a baseball team as the quarter back In a football eleven. In football the quarter back Is the field general when his team Is on the offensive. In baseball the catcher Is the general on the defensive. Formerly the catcher signaled to the pitcher only. To-day his signals govern not only the pitcher but the infield decidedly and the outfield in lesser degree.

FIELDING IS FASTER. Umpire ODay Says Foul Strike Is Not to Blame for Poor Batting. Umpire Hank ODay is firmly convinced that the abolition of the foul strike rule would not help the batting so much as everybody expects. ODay says the way to Increase the batting- is to re lease all the star outfielders and replace them with second-rate men. then fire all the infielders and put prairie stare on the diamond in their places.

His argument is that the decrease in batting is not due to the foul strike. He admits that it had something to. do with it. The constant advance in the science of pitching Is another factor but the chief element Is the improvement In fielding. Hank expressed the unique opinion that the batting- has not decreased greatly.

It only seems so. With outfielders profiting by years of study on the part of. their managers playing differently for every Batter and with infielders equally shifty the batter now has small chance of making a safe hit unless he lines It straight out either over the Infielders' heads or between them and not tar enough for the outfielders to reach the ball. Anything hit in the air is worthless be- cause the outfielders have their work down to such a science that they can tell or be told approximately where any experienced batter will hit the ball nine times out of ten. Some batters will hit deep into left or center field and short into right field.

Others reverse this. and every observing fan has noticed that the outfielders take decidedly different positions as the batsmen change. This is even carried so tar that the outfielders change their posltiorts according to what kind of a ball the pitcher is going to de liver so closely have they studied the opposing batters. ODay points as a proof of this to the fact that a new man breaking Into a major league almost always starts off hit- Ung well but is soon checked up and begins to tall off In his average. because by the time he has played once around the circuit every opposing fielder knows a lot about what is golnfr to happen to the ball when that particular player hits it.

There are a few exceptions like LaJoie but not many of them. The infielders are equally alert in the matter of playing- deep or close. and nowadays anything hit on the ground rrust ba hit fast through the pitchers box to stand any chance of escaping the clutches of the infielders. Likewise anything which goes higher than a. low line hit has lltlle chance of getting away from the outfielders.

Tho umpire concluded his argument with the statement that batters were hitting the ball nearly as hard as ever in recent years. but that the team work of a fast fielding bunch has been perfected to the point where hard hitting was a long way from being sate hitting.

The Irishman looked at me in surprise and in a tone of disgust said Begorra he naded no chloroform to whip Peter over here. Ivery man In his county te him. an' that's why he wlnt to America.

GAME FOLLOWS FLAG Growth of Baseball Abroad Is Truly wonderful. FOREIGNERS ABE POND OF IT Great American Sport Is Popular la Honolulu the Philippine Cuba and South Africa Soldiers Engage In Game at Their Chief Diveriion Filipino Ex pscte to Take Up the Game.

By SAM CRANL. Baseball follows the flag. The national game of the United States ha spread to far distant countries within the last few years so that now the grand outdoor sport Is firmly established In the Philippines Sandwich islands Porto Rico Cuba. and in tact everywhere that the husky hearty sport-loving officers jackles and marines of the United States navy have so gallantly and boldly carried the Stars and Stripes. Where Old Glory" waves there will be found baseball.

It is a game that appeals to all peoples that are blessed with real red blood and are progressive. The Japanese are nothing If not progressive and even with their country in the throes or disastrous war they have found time to devote' attention to our national game. and only a few days ago Iso Abe. a young Japanese collegian Issued a challenge to Stanford University of California for a match game between teams of a Japanese university and Stanford. And more than all the Japs want to come to California to play the game.

That In itself shows the youthful Taps have the Inborn courage and confidence of their elders. It is said that Stanford will accept the deft of Iso Abe and. will arrange for the match once. It should prove a most interesting contest. and will mark a red letter day In the history of the game.

It will be a sensational era in. the life of the sport and in fact tha all athletic sports. Baseball in Africa. Baseball Is also flourishing in South Africa. The Transvaal Leader.

a progressive newspaper has taken up the sport and publishes full scores of games and records of players. There Is a South African Baseball Association. and the players of the different teams can hit the ball even If they have not yet attained the accuracy and agility in fielding that their American cousins have reached. According to the Transvaal Leader out of thirty-seven batsmen who figure In the official record from July 1 to October 8. twenty-three of them batted over 300 per cent.

A player named Suter of' the Wanderers was the Lajolo of the league and he made our own Larupplng Larry's" record of 381 look like a hush league mark. Suters batting percentage was 535. Tho second batter to Suter was Hotchkiss also of the Wanderers who walloped out a base lilt every other time at bat making Us average 500 pet. tent. That tlu baseball writers out in the lit grasped the American style of reporting games is shown by the following comment in the Leader The diamond was very hard and as i consequence the ball frequently wore whiskers as some of the infielders can testify.

Wonder what the Africans would do with Rube Waddell and the Chesbro spit ball They are liable to see them all right too. for both are erratic. South Africa being an English possession the tact that baseball has taken such a strong hold there Is somewhat surprising for Britons wherever found look upon the great American game as a direct infringement on the sporting rights as established by cricket. It Is only an shoot of our old rounders. they are wont to say and that ancient game la about on the' level of one old cat" and barnball Englishmen's Cricket.

Englishmen are extremely conservative about their sports. especially of cricket which Is considered their national game. and In- their own stanch little island they have. always poohpoohed baseball. But when the Briton gets away tram home influences he becomes an ardent admirer of the American game and Is loud in his praise of the sharp fielding it develops.

In Canada South Africa. and Australia where there Is more hustling and time Is more valuable than' In the staid old Moth- er country. the quick action. liveliness and around hustling of baseball that give a result In a couple of hours. are fast becoming- more popular with.

the colonials than cricket that requires as many days to arrive at a decision. Great strides have been made In baseball in the Sandwich Islands. Honolulu is the headuarters Just now. but the game Is fast spreading to other localities. The game has been played In the Sandwich Islands for many years but It was not until the United States was given possession that It flourished.

In the reign of I King Kalakaua nines from the officers Jackles and marines of the United States warships that visited the lands played in Honolulu frequently and several native teams were formed. among them being quite a few' very capable players. I had a brother on the old United States frigate Vandalla that was afterward lost at Samoa. and he was the catcher on the Vandalla team. The old ship stopped at Honolulu frequently In the 'SO's and the ball nine Invariably had its games there on.

those visits. The natives took to the game very quickly and soon learned to enjoy It. They welcomed every arrival of the VandaUa with loud demonstrations of joy and there was a general holiday whenever the game was plaj ed. Chinaman on Team. The players of the ships team were entertained lavishly and given the freedom of the city.

That was twenty ear ago. and to-day there is an organized league and a. regular championship schedule. To show that the game appeals to all nationalities on the islands a Chinaman plays third base on the leading club and has the reputation of being the best play- er In the whole league. In the Philippines also there Is a league of several clubs made up mostly of sol dlers and sailors Just now and there are several Inclosed grounds in Manila to which areattracted big crowds whenever the championship games are played.

Among the spectators are large numbers of Filipinos and they are not the least interested. The latter are sure to take up the sport shortly. I know they can learn to play the game for when the Giants ere In Savannah for practice last spring a team of soldiers tram a' nearby fort played an exhibition game with the Gl- ants and with them was a young Filipino who while he did not play on the soldier team practiced with them and showed surprising proficiency. And if he is a sample of the Filipino rooter. they will all be well wells" In the Philippines in short order.

The skinned youth knew all the fine points of the game as well as Henry Chadwlck and he licked at least a half dozen Savannah darkles who had the temerity to root against his soldier boys. I umpired the game and he was going to punch me. Nothing strange about that. but It only shows how intensely interested the Filipinos become over the game. He was the cockiest most courageous little fellow I ever saw.

I have thought well of the Filipinos ever since. If ho could have reached me I might have thought still more of them. Cause and Effect.

PREP. SCHOOLS. ENTER. St. Johns Georgetown and Drexel Institute Boys at High.

School Meet. St. Johns College the Georgetown Preparatory School and the Drexel In stitute of Philadelphia are the latest additions to the list of schools which will be represented in the Xnterscholaztio track and field games to be held in Convention Hall on January 28. Manager W. H.

Foley yesterday received definite assurances from all of these Institutions that they will each have a strong string of entries lb the open events and It is probable that the Georgetown school and Drexel Institute will also have' relay teams' competing. These entries wilt be In the events for preparatory schools and will add to the programme a number of competitors who have never before been' seen in scholastic games in this city. It will be St. Johns first attempt at participation in track and field games. and the performances of the boys from this school will he watched with Interest.

Manager Fabian has already issued a call for candidates forthe team. and a score of boys hue begun training on the indoor track at Georgetown. It is probable that the- St. Johns boys will be In alt the prep school events and from the' present outlook they will le especially strong In sprinters and long distance runners Baltimore city College has challenged the Georgetown Preps to run a relay race but no definite answer has yet been given by the West. Washington students.

It is thought likely however that the challenge will be accepted and a close and exciting race should result. Manager Foley has been informed that the full strength of the Georgetown team will be represented In the open events. and as all of last years star athletes are again in school and eligible it is thought likely that West Washington will catry off its fun share of the medals. Drexel Institute was famous in scholastic athletic circles three. years ago.

from the fact. that. Albert Nash the full-blooded Sioux Indian half mile and run champion was a member of her track team. The Institute team is said to be very well balanced this year and Capt. Callahan Informed Manager Foley yesterday that he expects to send down men to compete in the sprint and hurdle race the mile run and the shot put and that if a.

suitable race can be arranged he will also send a. relay team. There are now an average of twenty candidates for each of the local high school. teams doing light training for the games. Interest is especially strong among the year boys and each of the five schools will have a team in the relay race for this class as wen as entries in the special yard dash.

ON GRIDIRON IN' SOUTH Representative Eleven Picked from Stars of 1904. VNDEBBILT POREiOST TRAM Georgetown Virginia and North Carolina Not Figured' la the Selection Because They Are Not Affiliated with the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic At- iflcUtion Northern Coaches in South. Edwin Camp In Illuftrttii Sporting News Chronologically Southern football I some ten or twelve years behind' the same In the East. In playing ability the but Southern team of this year is five or perhaps six touchdowns behind the best eleven or the East. But there are at least twenty players In.

the South this year who could win a place on any or the strongest elevens. East or West. The first statement Is a tact that can be proved by records. There Is no way of demonstrating the truth of either of the others. They are merely opinions.

which may be taken on the judgment of critics who know Eastern football and who know Southern football. It Is well at the start to define South ern football. as used in this article. Only the teams in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association are considered. Georgetown and Virginia and North Carolina are Southern colleges by reason of geographical location but not otherwise.

They no longerplay games with association elevens and confine their activity to contests among themselves and with smaller institutions In their own immediate provinces. The severance of relations with teams. In the association is largely due to the strict and strictly enforced eligibility rules that obtain in this organization. For instance this year the University of North Carolina was scheduled to play Vanderbilt University whose team was the strongest in the association. On the North Carolina eleven were three play- ers Carpenter Bear and Sltton who under the S.

I. A. A rules are Ineligible. Nor can an S. I.

A. A. team play a game against these men. The North Carolina management was notified that the trio could not be used' against Vanderbilt. Carolina declined to play without them.

and the game was canceled. All three men are splendid players but Carpenter ahd Bear. members last year of the strong Virginia Polytechnic eleven and Sltton. one or' the mainstays of the Clemson team of 1903 had suddenly and with a re markable unanimity decided this tall to continue their studies at North Carolina where the formality of a one year residence rule" Is regarded as an Inconvenient fetish of the farther South. Georgetown and North Carolina.

And so it Is at Virginia. where they put out strong teams vide th tie with the Carlisle Indians last year and the victory over the same eleven in 3902) hut teams whose piainstays are recruited from other colle i North or South. As to Georgetown tliit Institution can hardly claim to be Southern. Its student body Is representatively Eastern and its teams play no Southern colleges except North Carolina. It is chiefly thrpuh the work of these three universities that Southern football Is known to the East hence the writer makes an effort to distinguish between them and the Southern teams proper.

Those Institutions are certainly much stronger than all save the very topmost In the Southern Intercollegiate Association but they no. more represent the South than does Michigan represent the Pacific Coast. The Vanderbilt University eleven was the strongest In the S. I. A.

A. this year. The eleven was the best In point of physique ever put out In the South averaging as it did a good 178 pounds In weight. It was composed of eight veterans and three freshmen who had attained experience and help on prep teams. The coaching was efficiently done' by Dan MeGugin a Michigan product who was assistant to Yost at that university last year.

He came to Vanderbilt last fall and found eleven men who were of a size and knew the groundwork of the game. Accordingly he set to work or the machine idea of which we have heard so much and the record of the season demonstrates his suc- cess. The eleven went through the campaign without defeat piling up scores of enormous proportions against the weaker teams and walloping the stronger elevens In sound fashion. The season was brought to a close Thanksgiving Day with a 27-too defeat administered to Vandys dearest foe the University of the South commonly known as Sewanee. Vanderbilt scored 454 points In eight games against a total Qt 4 for its opponents The goal line Wa not crossed but the Missouri School of Mines got close enough on a tumbled punt to make a placement kick from the yard line.

Considerably below Vanderbilt in strength was the Alabama Polytechnic Institute always called Auburn. The Alabamians were splendidly coached by Mike Donahue a Yale scrub Quarter who in one year better adjusted himself to Southern conditions than many an Eastern varsity star. Donahues team despite its lack of weight played real football and went through an entirely victorious season defeating Florida. Clemson Nashville Georgia Tech University of Alabama and Georgia. Sewanee at times showed glimpses of slower but was no match for Vanderbilt in the final game of the year.

Georgia Tech's Advancement. The real feature of the season was the marvelous advance made by the Georgia School of Technology which burst from tatters that kept it in the lowest class for ten ears to a prominent position among this seasons elevens of the second class. It Is interesting to' note that this years Tech eleven is the first winning aggregation the school has had since 1S4 when Major General Wood played right guard and smashed and hammered his way for many a touch-down for tha old Gold and White. One regrets to say Doctor Wood as he was called then was not exactly a bona tide student but he played a brilliant game nevertheless for his foster alma mater. The dash and daring- he later showed in hiking up San Juan hill were no more thrilling than his plunges through Georgia's and Auburn's lines that year nor could his statesmanship as governor general of Cuba have been more thoroughly effective and beneficial than his stragety with the Tech team.

At that time General Wood was post physician at Fort McPherson a few miles from Atlanta. On this seasons form the teams of the Southern Intercollegiate Association ranked at follows Vanderbilt Alabama Auburn. Tulsa. Sewanee Tennessee Georgia Teen. Georgia Clenuon.

Mlululppt. Cumberland Niahyille. The most interesting feature of South- ern football to the Easterner is the fact that it is spectular. Defensive play has not been so developed that an end run is hopeless or that a double pass' is a strategem of the last resort. Nor is the game a tiresome repetition of line smashes ekrlng out a bare first down fn three trials.

The unexpected xesnt happen very often when Yale andHar- yard play but it is all that does occur when your Southern teams mix it up. A Shevlin 6r a Neal would doubtless smile to observe the frequence with which a Southern end is smothered by flying in terference or tooled by the antiquated cross. but he would learn the reason in less thana morth. The game la not a matter of business in the South. It is an autumn pastime pure Parker Bridget Co.

Extend the Compliments of the Season. The store will remain cloied all day Monday. and simple and is played for the fun there is In it. Victory is not as Joysome. nor defeat as bitter as it Is where the game Is a decade older and where It is.

the paramount affair in college life where 20000 is a cheap price to pay for the training of a. seasons champion and where a score of alumni desert their busi- ness duties for a fortnight or a month to help out the team. Football Is not. taken so seriously down South and never will be. Consequently the best team in Dixie will never be a match for Yale Harvard Princeton or Pennsylvania.

There are other reasons for the comparative inferiority of Southern football. One is that the student bodies are small. The average enrollment Is hardly more than 400. and it is not always easy to get proper material from such a small number. Then the average age of the graduating class is twenty years equivalent to the sophomore class of the large East- era institution.

Not to be disregarded is the handicap of climate. With the mercury hovering around SO in the middle of October It la not easy to get benefit front hard practice. Another handicap is the lack of competent coaching. Blessed Is that Institution which has a good head coach for. there are no assistants.

He who has charge of a team not only teaches ele rnentary football to the linemen and backs but plans his system teaches It wheedles and bulldozes the faculty into concessions and when he has a few spare moments looks out for the physical condition of his men. Athletic associations are not wealthy In the South. Northern Coaches in South. There have been coaches andi coaches In the South. Every style of football has been taught some teams have played two or three styles and some none at all.

This years teams represented many systems. Vanderbilt was led to supremacy by McGugin of Michigan Auburn was taught by Donahue of Yale Sewanee was in- utrbcted by Whitney of Cornell Georgia Tech was raised upward by Heisman of Pennsylvania ai the rtoj en tzt th nil and the moat successful Berr of Blown couched the Tulane Nushvllle was handled by Fisher the old Ptinceton center Cumberland learned tliiugs from Phillips of Washington and Jefferson and Ten- nessee and Clemson had alumni in struction. The season just brought to a close showed a marked Improvement In. the plays of every team with the exception of Clemson and' possibly Cumberland. That eleven Which did not Improve considerably over 1903 form found itself relegated a few notches to the rear because the others had advanced.

The teams were heavier and. knew more football played more consistently and showed better spirit. The advance was not due BO much to the Increase of skill ort the part of the players as to the im provement in team work. But there were a score of men who stood out above the others making the choice of an All Southern" comparatively easy. A team composed of the following men would.

given proper coaching. make a formidable rival to any eleven East or Middle West Center Stone of Vanderbilt Right guard Phillips. of Sewanee. Left guard. Brown of Vanderbilt Right tackle.

Derrick of Clemson. Left tackle. Brown of Georgia. Tech. Right end.

Beene of TenneSsee. Left end Hamilton of Vanderbilt Quarter Scarborough of Sewanee. Right half. Craig of Vandeiollt. Left half Steel.

of Cumberland. Fullback Fey of Auburn. Merits of the Picked Team. From tackle to tackle this combination would weigh 188 pounds the ends average 165 pounds and the backs average a flat 170 team weight 177 pounds. The elevens would to a happy degree combine a strong defense with a powerful attack.

Craig Steele and Foy would make a back field trio of unusual speed and Impact while Scarborough is a heady general not only the best punter in the South but one of the best in the country and a sure tackler. Beene and Hamilton are a wary pair of ends hard to fool hard to box fast in getting down on kicks and veterans in experience. Derrick has been the mainstay of the Clemson team this year and is a tackle of rare ability being not only a tower of strength on the de fensive but a man who has seldom been stopped without a gain when used to carry the ball. Brown at the other tackle Is lighter weighing only 178 but is a. difficult man to gain through.

He carries the ball well and is in addition a punter of ability. For four years Phillips has been placed on every all Southern" chosen and his work has shown no de terioration this season. Six feet three inches tall weighing 190. and as hard as nails he Is known as the Glass of the South. His line plunging and hurdling- make him.

the best ground-gainer of this season as well as previous years. Bull Brown at the' other guard is steady and stolid not a brilliant man but one who can play guard as well as anybody. Stone is a freshman but leaped into fame' in one season. The physical counterpart of. Phillips.

he has proved himself to be a player of the first class. Among the Linemen. Among the linemen worthy of mention are Capt. Smith of Cumberland Moon and Braswell of Auburn Eph Kirby. Smith of Sewanee.

MICHAEL DIED POOR. Famous Cyclist Won Fortunes on Track but Saved Nothing.

The Sudden death of Jimmy Michael os Hum tho uthMta world in general and tho exile wuild In particular on of the must interesting characters In the modern world of suorts Standing about 4 feet Ii inches. Michael was nevertheless without a peer when in. condition at his specialty which was long-distance c- cle riding. None of the' clists who front time to time disputed his title to championship honors and tried to prove their contention succeeded when the diminutive pace follower was in any kind of shape. The Welsh Rarebit.

although only twenty-seven years of age was said to have cleared over 5230000 at the racing game but he quit life as most of that class of men do. practically pennijess. Born in Wales In 1877 of poor parentage Michael turned to the trade of butcher and was an errand boy for the- biggest meat establishment in his home town. While working in that capacity he- saved enough to buy a wheel and almost from the start while competing in amateur events he showed that stamina and speed which afterward made him world famous. He competed In London as an amateur for the last time in a mile race and had no' trouble in proving himself the best amateur in England.

The contest was witnessed by Warburton. the famous English trainer who saw a chance of making money by taking- the boy under his wing. After proving himself as good as any rider in Great Britain Germany and France Michael was Drought over to this country just at' the time when cycle racing was at fever heat and one of the most popular pastimes. Tom Eck who has handled more successful cyclists than any other mart in this country had Michael sign a contract with him no sooner than he had set foot on these shores and Eck made a small fortune with the midget. Coming into money so quickly and earning It so easily Michael soon lost all Idea of the value of It and spent It very freely.

Tom Eck had his own troubles in keeping Jimmy at the training table and declared only a short time ago that unless Michael was broke he never trained. He proved however that long preparation was not necessary for him to acquire speed and he would often appear on the track for a grueling contest after being out half the night. For a time Michael deserted the cycle track and tried to become a horse ocke He trained in Phil Pwyers stable at Gravesend and had some mounts at New- Orleans but won very few races. Ho tried again later on in France but could never make any headway as a Jockey and finally gave it up as a hopeless task. He went back to paced racing and un der the skillful handling of Ek developed much of his former speed but was never quite the world beater that ho had been before his Ill-advised sortie into horse racing.

When Michael followed pace he always carried a quill toothpick In his ipouth. through which he breathed. Often after a hard ride he would dismount with but an inch or so of the toothpick he having chewed It in his excitement. In his training in the days of human pacing he had a habit of starting out behind a tandem team and dropping back ten feet from tlio machine. Then he would ride unpacej.

for five miles or so and generally beat the tandem out in the finishing sprint. He had the easiest position back of a pacemaker either human or motor en of any of the pace followers. He used flat handle bars and sat up almost straight which his smallness nllowea him to do without losing benefit of the pacemaker.
