D. 2S1. JIANY BUYERS OP AUTOS. Attendance at New York Show largest Its History. Special to The Washington Post.

New York, Dec. by individuals began In earnest to-day at the seventh--annual show ot the Automobile Club of America in the Grand Central Palace. The purchases of the society element were not entirely confined to high-priced, high- power machines. Many of them had varieties of small runabouts. Gen.

George Moore Smith, of the show committee, to-day expressed himself as extremely well satisfied with the show to date, and said that up to Wednesday night, the latest date for which he had received reports from the box office, the paid attendance had been about 10 per cent greater than that for the corresponding period at any of the club's previous shows. The scene outside the building Is an Interesting one, and especialy after dark. Hundreds of demonstrating cars are lined up on Forty-third and Forty-fourth streets, between Lexington and Tnlrd avenues, as well as machines which have to bring their owners to visit show. Some of the demonstrating cars have even more startling color schemes than the cars on exhibition in the building, but for unusual finishing Is most generally awarded to a big Frayer-Miller, which has a sort of effect striping along the top of the lonneau.

Chick Stahl has been In-stabled aa manager of the Boston Americana. Just what Mr. Stahl has done to bring upon himself such punishment Is not quite clear. Having thoroughly digested the President's message, fandom has Its ear to the ground, wondering the National League magnates will do In New York and the American Leaguers In Chicago. Out in Springfield they are still doing honor to "Jigga" Donohue.

The Knights of ColumbUB of that place gave him a banquet some nights ago. In which oratory, literature, music, and eating were prominent. Jimmy Bran, another old Washington player, who managed the Bvanavllle team of the Central League the past season, la of the opinion that Os- secured by the Chicago Nationals, will make Joofl. Ryan touta the youngster as a strong hitter. Scientists tn New York are trying to devise some meuis whereby the great volume ot hot air wasted every time the National League baseball magnates la that city may oe turned to tome practical account.

No, this Is not rap at Charley Murphy; there are others Let Congress fuss and fume over the Japanese quettion. What Waahlngtonlans are just now Is whether the Nationals are going to take a jump, pennantward next season. With a few trades at the next American League meeting at Chicago, Cantillon Is likely to do what others have been trying to do for a number of years. There Is a lively row In tho Katlonal League over the playing of games with American League cluba In spring. The president of the Chicago club Is scoring the Cincinnati club tor arranging Bprlng games with Americans.

jf the Chicago Nationals ftad won the world's championship the chances are that no such squabble would have trisen.

Football students of the South are frank In sayirjs that the selection of an all- Southern eleven, truly representative and composed of the best material in Dixie, ts a difficult and even hazardous and unsatisfactory task. The reason for this general verdict is the larse extent of territory covered and the important fact that few of the contenders for first honors played each other. For instance, the only way to obtain a reliable opinion on the skill of tjl-y-- ers on -the Vanderbilt and Virginia or Georgetown elevens is the judgment of competent football men who have seen the players in'action in different games. The comparative scores made in frames can only be an aid In determining the ability of the individual, reflected in the strength of the whole machine. Thus it will be seen that no selections made are bound to prove satisfactory to the entire Southern college world.

Naming eleven star players from Washington to Ne'w Orleans and Memphis is a task for a keen judge of the new game based on an interpretation of the new code by different players, and even then this judgment would not be entitled to absolute confidence, for the critic was only able to see the players in probably one game each. Should Divide Territory. Prominent football authorities are unanimous in the opinion that the Southern territory should be divided, and that teams along the Atlantic seashore be placed In a nominal section to be known as the South Atlantic district, and the eleven in the Southern and Western sections of Dixie be given a narrie to indicate the locality of the colleges. satisfactory selection of a representative all-Southern eleven is an impossibility, and If chosen, bound to displease a great many colleges, goes without saying, in the opinion of followers of the Southern gridiron. This has been the experience of former years.

The new rules and the failure of some of the old stars to make good under the 1906 code only increases the difficulty. Tradition, however, as much, as anything else, points to selections for 1906 as former years. This year the authorities who have aided The Post in naming an all-Southern eleven have been helped to a degree by the fact that the leaders of the South Atlantic division and the Western section of the South tackled the Indians. Coach'es from the prominent Southern colleges who have in person seen all of the big teams in action, after a season's close observations, are united in tre selection of nine of the above eleven players, Hodgson, of Georgetown and Gloth, of Vii- ginia, being the disputed players. These views have been compiled and the merits of the different players discussed, with the result that an eleven was chosen whose combined weight and speed would form a machine whose attack any team In the Bast or West could hardly withstand, and whose defense would be hard to penetrate.

South.Atlantic Teams Chosen. Acting on the idea, that a team representative of the South Atlantic should be chosen whose identity is bound to interest local football followers far more than a team cmblning the skill of the entire South, The Post secured the views of leading coaches and officials of the South Atlantic section. Their judgment of the various players is found in the team called the All-South Atlantic eleven. Left end again goes to R. Blake, the great end and.

punter of the Vanderbilt team, who has been chosen to lead the Commodores through the campaign of 1907. In his position, he has no equal in the South. It was he who put the Indians to flight with a goal from the Held. He is a strongly made young athlete, with a splendid head and full of action. He weighs 176 pounds.

Left tackle also goes to a Vanderbilt man, Prltchard. In this, his fourth year on he has put up a star game. He Is unusually fast, considering that he tips the scales at 202, and is very quick to get down under punts. Stranga to say, however, he is seldom ever called upon to carry the ball. He measures 6 feet inches.

Watldns, left guard, comes from Sewanee. This veteran and captain of his team, ably aided by Shipp, was the mainstay of the Sewanee team. He is a worthy player and justly deserves a position on the first eleven. Hence, to balance the team and to utilize the best of material, he is shifted from center to guard. No Improvement can be made over Stone at center.

He is well trained, powerful on the defense, and He Is a man of too big caliber to be left off any selection, and is chosen on account of his natural ability and speed as a defensive player. Hodgson Given Place. Hodgson Is given the place at right guard on his punting ability. Keen judges have pronounced the big Georgetown man the best kicker In the South, and one of the best in the country. He would help any team.

He is not a star an the defensive, but his fighting ability and his speed in carrying the ball adds to Ms merit. He outplayed any Virginia man in the Old Dominion lads' first exhibition here. Hodgson was the only man to gain on Cole's machine with. Dutcher out of battle. Wilson, the Tjlg 190-pound end of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, is shifted from end and at tackle to get htm on the eleven, as he rated the best defensive player in the South this year.

He backs his defense, gets down the field like a streak, and while not brilliant in a broken field, is a vicious tackier and very reliable. Bagley, Washington and Lee's half back, is the best defensive player seen in Washington this year. He IB a brilliant broken field runner, and an expert drop kicer, booting fleld goals which practically won games for his team In the V. M. A.

and and Randolph-Macon games. It was against this player that the entire offensive tactics of opposing elevens hav.a been aimed this year. Randolph and Johnson. Randolph, of Virginia, who was kept from the All-Southern last year by the brilliant showing of the Vanderbilt quarter, Kyle, Is tMs year up to the mark, and Is selected to maneuver the actions of the organization. "He has fitted Into tho new style of play exceedingly well.

His brilliant open fleld-work and ability to return punts make him a valuable man. He made both touchdowns for his team against Georgetown, one of which was scoreoVfrom a punt from the 23-yard line. Left half again goes to Johnson, the Virginia captain, who made his flnal year the best in his football history. He earns his place by phenomenal work, which eclipses anything he has ever done before. In open-style play is liable to break away for a touchdown at any time.

He Is an all-round, man, equally good on offense and defense, and a punter of no mean ability. He uses his arms with good effect In warding off tacklers and has weight enough and grit enough to make any position. On account of his versatility he is selected to captain the team. Kerr, the Georgtown star, is one of the best defensive ends developed in the South In years. When In form, Kerr has few equals, and the skill he displayed In the George Washington game gives him easy claim to rank as a half back with Johnson.

He is an all-round man, and adds much strength to the team. He handles punts beautifully, Is a good llne- bucker, and a great man in the open fleld, as was shown In the Thanksgiving Day contest. He could rest the ends or backs. On the defense, he Is perfectly reliable. Mainer, of Vanderbllt, Is In a class by himself.

He has not seen a line this sen- son that was strong enough to stand his terrible onslaughts. Ha broke through Michigan, and he broke through the Indians. He hits the line, leaning well forward, and is very hard to throw from his feet. He Is very quick to take advantage of an opening. As to his strength, he seems to be Jireless.

He is tall and lanky, and weighs 182. With the combined weight and speed of this team, with Bagley to do the drop kicking, and Hodgson the punting, and Johnson and Randolph the placement kicking, it njould be hard for any team in the East or West to defeat it. From end to end every man, with possibly one or two exceptions, can carry the ball, and la sure to make gains, so that In all the combinations that must be taken into consideration in selecting an all-star team, It would be hard to name eleven other men to defend the title better. What a brilliant back Bagley, Wilson, Jolmson, Kerr, and Dutcher would make In the South Atlantic combination 1 Dutcher loses a place on the All-Southern eleven only on account of his weight In every other respect he answers the qualifications. Thompson, of North Carolina, and Gibson, of George Washington, are two massive players, who are powerful on defense and offense.

Gloth has played an entire season, and has starred in every contest. He is down the field fast, and has blocked more kicks and tackled more end runs than perhaps any line man In the South. Cooke was formerly the captain of the Virginians. In form he Is wiry and alert, and there are few lines be cannot penetrate. His repeated injuries and unsound condition keep him off the All-Southern team.

He has few peers as a -defensive player. TRACK AND PADDOCK GOSSIP. Although the winter racing season Is yet, two well known jockeys who rode in the Bast last season, have succeeded in getting into hot water. Bedell, who had the mount of J. W.

Puller's Tokalon when she won the Brooklyn Handicap, and L. Williams, who rode for W. B. Jennings, are on the carpet, so to speak. Bedell has been suspended by the stewards at the Fair Grounds, New Orleans, for a suspicious looking ride on the colt J.

W. O'Neill, in a recent event. Williams, a colored jockey, came East from the Coast last spring under contract to Jennings, for whom he did some clever riding. But when Jennings left for California after the Brighton fall meeting, Williams remained, and came In for some severe scoring, "because of several rides that looked bad. As soon as he got to California he began riding again for Jennings.

The colored jockey's worth, however, was not up to the mark, and after several queer rides, Jennings threw lip his hands and decided to set Williams adrift. The Jockey promptly Signed with another turfman, but it is said that the officials of the Oakland track are watching the negro closely. Wltn the Fair Grounds and City Park tracks' stalls jammed with "horses, the race-course superintendents are in a quandary where to shelter the large number of thoroughbreds on their way from New York and Benning. Never before In the history of racing in the South has there been such a demand for stable room. The erection of the 6,400 stalls at City Park failed to relieve the congestion.

Instead, these stables served to attract new owners here--men who had never participated in winter racing until the rival course to the old Fair Graunds was constructed. Bast- em owners like James McCormick and Fred Barlow wero strangers to the sport here until a year ago. They came with the new track and are now among the regular visiting horsemen. "Father Bill" Daly has reached City Park with flve horses. "With him came Guy and Willie Burns, the two twin brothers of Jockey Tommy Burns, both of whom are promising light-weight riders.

Times must not be what they were on 'the turf. Too gentlemen are running their horses in the name of their wives at New Orleans. STOUT GUARDS OVER TERRY. Physicians Say a Week Will Determine Nature of Malady. Special to Tho Washington Post.

New York, Dec. was no change in the condition of Terry McGovern, the little fighter, who is under observation at the King's County Hospital. His wife called at the hospital to-day, but did not see him. It is doubtful if ho would recognize her if she had. Dr.

Mosoly, who has charge of the case, said that he could not tell until a week had gone by whether McGovern was only temporarily insane or permanently so. McGovern is still Irritable, and still possessed of the hallucination that he has won $27,000 at the race tracks. He has another one, and that is that he is the greatest baseball player In. the country. The little fighter Is strapped to his bed at night, but his bonds are loosed in the day time.

It Is not thought that his malady will take a violent turn, but no chances are -being taken with a man of his build and cleverness, and three stout keepers arc constantly within calling distance.

talent was given a jolt at the Fair Grounds that It will remember tor some time to come. Three odds-on favorites were bowled over, among them being Colloquy, who was a 2-to-7 favorite In the flve and one- half purse affair for The race was supposed to be at the mercy of Colloquy, but the filly was not placed In the first three at the finish. Itenned, the second choice, proved the winner in an easy manner from Quince. St. Valentine, who had the services of Nicol, was made a 2-to-5 choice in the fourth, but his best was second, being beaten a head by Charlatan.
