Only in one or two positions wwill a question he raised, but a perusal of the league averages the selection in every instance. Great Hitting Power. Only one member of the team, Roy Johnson, of Fort Bayard, falls below the .300 mark in hatting.

But, as of all first basemen, has had his off-days. Gandil arrived in the southwest in condition this year and he played good ball from the getaway. He is hitting .383 while Chase is three points behind him. Under ordinary conditions, Chase is the better man. On this performance in the Copper league.

A four round bout featuring Laredo and Mike Paluso will open the show, which will start at 5 oclock.

This will be the first time in years that an effort has been made to throw an all star card on a holiday, but by the interest being shown it looks like the Coliseum will draw a fairly good house. It will be the only boxing event during the holidays. The Toledo boys arrived this morning, and they look fit to step in the ring right now. This Rendley person is said to he quite a fighter, and bears a real reputation in the middle west. Add Thatcher, of the Toledo club, who is sending these boys to Lil Paso, predicts a brilliant future for Rendley.

National League Results AM F.RII I.F.Afil K. fact that the Veterans were runners- up in the Copper league, there are few to contest the place. The Veterans lead in the selections, placing four men. Juarez and El Paso both have three. Douglas and Bisbee have one apiece.

At least in the catcher's position there can he little contest. Pete Arzate stands head and shoulders above any receiver in the league, not only because of his work behind the bat, but through his feat in carrying his club to a championship. Arzate is young, fast and has the makings of a big league performer. He could have gone to this year, but turned down the opportunity. Seaton Looked Good Tom Seaton was the outstanding performer on the mound during the first half-season.

He was defeated in his first start against El Paso, and since then has been invincible. Almost single-handed, Seaton has pitched Juarez into a championship. He is far and away above his form of last year, notwithstanding the fact that the league is choked with heavy hit- ters. It is this fact, more than any other, which makes pitching selections difficult. Except for Seaton, there has been practically no consistent work on the mound this year, and hitters have run wild, more than three-fourths of them being well over the .300 mark and 1G hatting over .400.

Underhill, the El Pasoan, showed as much stuff as any pitcher in the league and was unbeatable after he struck his stride. He is given the second place, while Johnson takes rank as the third best bet. Gandil Preferred. There will be some who may dispute right to the initial sack, but it must he remembered that he has played consistently all By reason of a .417 batting average and an almost flawless fielding performance, Babe Routh gets the second base berth unanimously. 1 he Babe is also due for faster company.

During most of the season, he ted at a .500 clip, but fell off in the last two weeks. Stowers At Third. There are better fielding third basemen in the league than Lop Stowers. Dintv Moore of Douglas is his peer a defensive player, and Al Muruato would also deserve a high ranking had he been allowed to remain at the hot corner. One glance at batting average, however, is enough to give him the place.

Moore is hitting .365. but 1 a difference of 120 points is suffi- eient to give Pop the call. What about the shortstop position, a place that is overcrowded with star performers? There is Tony Antista of Juarez, who hits .511 in the lead-off position and fields like a gem. There is Peewee Speck, of El Paso, who hits .371. and is a sure bet on anything he can get his hands on.

Both Speck and Antista are ready for faster company. They are great shortstops and under any conditions might make the all-star team, but not with Buck Weaver in the league STAMUVC OF THE CLUBS. Cincinnati St. Louis ----Pittsburgh Brooklyn Chicago New Philadelphia Boston w. Pet.

Kansas Too Smart say this Kansas has gone savs professor White. have to go back farther than the Cornell crew in that boat race the other day, for Mandell to be able to beat him.

knows too much for a fellow like Mandell. of these fellows can hit hard enough to stop anybody. Kansas is just a mauler, and Mandell is so busy dancing around he can't set himself for solid punching. So the fight is a cinch to go the Mandell, the challenger, took things easy today at gym. His manager, Eddie Kane, reported that Sammy was slightly under the 1 mark and there was no need of drawing him too fine.

Sammy did no boxing but skipped rope, punched the bag and went through various other exercises while trying to keep out of the way of Callahan, who was indulging in rope skipping. Champ Out of Spirits Kansas boxed five rounds, three with Tony Ross, and two with Thomas, a local product. The champion went through his paces rather spiritlessly, it appeared to observers.

Hart looks for a message from the former Australian bantam champ some time today and expects to stop over here on Saturday on his way to New York.

THE instant you open a tidy red tin or a toppy red bag of Prince Albert and get a whiff of that real tobacco, you know you are in for some grand cigarette-sessions. Yes, indeed. You take out a paper and proceed to roll a cigarette a sure-fire winner. Because P.

A. is crimp-cut and flutter all around, it rolls easier. It burns better for the same reason. And then the big thrill that glorious tastje! No other home-rolled cigarette can hold a candle to that. Cool.

Sweet. Fragrant. Every inch a smoke! Morning to midnight, you'll roll and smoke Because every wonderful puff invites another. Your taste just never wearies of this mild, mellow old P. A.

Try this better cigarette tobacco today. It will be a smoke-experience, for a fact. If you have a pipe and want to see how much pleasure it can deliver, tamp a load of Prince Albert into the bowl. Men who thought they were all set on a smoke- program have followed this formula and have become converts overnight. No other tobacco is like this.

Men. P. A. sold everywhere in tidy red tins and teppy red bags. And always with every bit of bite and parch removed by the Prince Albert process ALBERT other tobacco is like it 1926, R.
