A record for speed in 'schedule drafting was established by National and American League baseball representatives who completed their work here late today.

sche dule making meeting open 3d yesterday and the sessions, committeemen said, were most harmonious.0""' It was decided to fcpen and close the major league season slightly earlier in 1928 than in 1927.

Collier's ALL AMERICA Each From tha South and Far West Make Up 1927 Eleven Oosterbaan, Michigan, and Nash, Geor gia, Picked For Ends Cagle GeU Berth. JHE 39th annual All America football team, as named by Collier's Weekly, appears in its current issue. Grantland Rice, successor of the late Walter Camp as namer of the All America team, picks stars from eleven different colleges for the mythical national team.

If Al Jackson can come through with a victory over Tommy Gerrity at Town Hall Arena Monday night he will get another crack at Mickey Doyle. Local tight fans are still discussing the recent Doyle Jackson setto ind many are of the opinion that the Dunmore half pint is making a big mistake in taking on another fighter with TNT In his left hand so soon after his setback at the hands of the Pittoton boy. Jackson, however, is chock full of confidence and intends to prove that his defeat a week or so ago was a fluke. It's true that Al was giving Doyle a great battle and might have been given a draw had kept his jaw away from Mickey's terrific left hand mitt. Jackson, according to his friends, has learned his lesson and will be more careful against Gerrity Monday night.

The Bucktown featherweight will have to be careful. Outside of Doyle, Gerrity is probably1 the hardest punching fighter we have around here. And what's more, he can stand up under punishment whether it be on the jaw or in the stomach. A victory for either boy means a whole lot and the cash customers will likely see plenty of action. E.

"Oh, I played one year in high school," Burke replied, "but was never much of a success.

Boxing came more natural to me, I guess, and that's why I'm trying out for the team." Ingram looked him over for a few seconds and then asked him to report for football practice.

There were other outstanding eastern teams, including Pittsburgh and Washington ari Jefferson but their football paths this season failed to cress those of the "Big Ten" suggested a year ago Yale, with five "conference" vic tories over Brown, Army, Dartmouth Princeton and Harvard, would have constituted the only undefeated, united team in the grout). Pennsyl vania would have stood second with but one defeat at the hands the Navy to mar a record of four victories over Brown, Columbia, Harvard and Cornell."
