was elected how the Harvard-Yale game came out but by the whiskers of Mohammed," he adds, "I am now (n a position to chant off-hand the batting and fielding averages, Just out, of every ball player In both big leagues." We believe him. Some game is the password. As for the comparative hold of football and baseball, we heard a halt dosen gridiron enthusiasts launched Into a highly frentled discussion of Yale, Harvard, Princeton stars and seven minutes later they were panning C. Webb Murphy, predicting that tho Pirates would crowd the Olants against the wire next fall, and forecasting a return to form of the Athletics. Exactly seven minutes were required to droo Messrs.

Brickley, Felton, Pumnellr. and Baker, for Marquard, nnu Isn't even starting It. Reverting to football In spite of the above, Prof. Hollenback, of Penn State, Informs us that Very was without doubt one of the greatest ends ho has ever seen toll In a football uniform. "I've seen a few as good," he re marks, "but none better." The "All-America" Again.

Considerable thanks to Bill Hanna and others who were fair enough to label their selections from the gridiron ensemble as "All-Eastern," without attempting to cover a trail 3,000 broad and 2,000 miles deep. Tb.e1r pick was made from elevens they had seen In action or had gotten In close touch with, and deserves all the consideration an unbiased opinion Is entitled to. On the other wing of things, we come to Mr. Hamilton Fish, Jr. and others-who label their Eastern selections All-Amerlca, or who graciously concede that the best football beyond the Alleghenles or south of Penn- gylvanla, entitled to a place on the second or third eleven.

Mr. Fish, for example picks his First Eleven from tho East and then Wisconsin, Western champions by a wide margin, one member I on the second eleven, wnicn is quite Where the As no Eastern writer was able to see the big elevens of both the West and East work in their big gamos as the dates were conflicting- how does Mr. Fish or anyone else how does Mr. Fish or anyone else Know wnetner Wisconsin baa one man good enough for the second All-America team, or threo men good enough tor the first? I MOTOR CYCLISTS Washington Will Be Well Represented if Event Is Inaugurated. By HARRY WARD.

Washington motorcyclists aro Interested greatly In the plan of tho Federation of American motorcyclists to establish an annual national long-dlstanco classic for motorcyclists, similar to the famous Tourist Trophy event of tt'c Britons. The Chicago Motorcyclo Club Is taking the lead In tho matter, and has suggested tho event be run July 4 next on the eight and one-third mllo, course at Elgin, the scene of several big automobile road races. The Tourist Trophy event turns the eyes of all Great Britain to the famous old course on tho Isle of Mnn tBcn yCBr anu lne -mcago moior- cyclists see great possibilities In tho establishment of an American classic onM Tho would compete at once. The fours wouw be required to complete 175 miles, tho WOULD WELCOME DISTANCE Costello, of Rucker, Johnson, and Walsh. BOMK a concession, at mat.

Piffle Enters. know whether Wisconsin had one man "fives" 300 miles, and the "big boys" 30 miles. "The establishment of a big motorcycle taco patterned after the British classic would Increase greatly popular Interest In motorcycling all over the country," said a Washington rider, "and I hopa the event will bo staged. In which event Washington would send several of its best race riders." BASEBALL NOTES It has been announced that the Newark club will truln In Albany, next spring.

The American League record for 1911 Is ten better. Pitcher Hamilton, of tho Browns. hold the odd record of having held Detroit hltlrss on August SO. but tho Big, Big Bargains in Custom Tailoring The sale is on!

They're going fast but no matter how great the rush on these fabrics, every detail of your suit or overcoat will have our most careful attention in the making. Perfect fit guaranteed. Georgetown, for All-American II II 1 II BVNTS Suppose Eckersall, a Western critic, should pick hla first All-America team exclusively from the West, and give Harvard one man on hla second eleven, again graciously conceding that Brickley was enUtled to make the next best team? Such a selection would be Just as fair and Just as sane aa selecyons labeled All-America picked exclusively from the East after the manner of the Fish or even the Camp round-ups at the end of the season. It would be foolish to even bring on discussion If it were not for the fact that certain papers still persist In giving this Junk circulation from year to year.

East vs. West. They have been playing better football In the East than in the West for several years, when tho nrst dozen best teams from each aectlon are compared, but a conceit which takes It for granted that another big section hasn't even one star capable of ranking among the first eleven Is too monumentally Inane to call for anything except a key to the main storage vault of the cannery. On with the embalming fluid and the aeal hermetlcal. The Tinker Case.

"Why pan Murphy or Evers," queries O. H. "for refusing to trade off a star Inflelder like Tinker If proper value Isn't furnished in returnT Why expect them to break up their team to satisfy one man's ambition if they figure they are getting the worst Mr. Murphy and Even gave Tinker permission to dicker with Cincin nati for a managerial Job. Tinker for ten years as a vital factor in a team which had won four pennants ana two world championships.

His remaining seasons as a ranking shortstop have only two or three years to run. He waa offered double the salary and a chance to continue In the game Indefinitely aa one of the leaders. The deal proposed waa fair enough for Mr. Murphy to accept it twice before reversing himself. If ten years' brilliant and steadfast servlco deserves no reward, a profession which appeals heavily to 20,000,000 people a year Is about as broad and as free as Siberian serfdom.

It is understood that this arrangement Is unsatisfactory to the New Haven tcsj artists. George Brooke to Coach Penn Team Next Season PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec.

No dictation by the football committee will bo made to htm. He will have complete authority over the varsity squad.

Prominent alumni have contributed to the fund to provide Brooks witn his salary, said to bo the largest In ths country for the position. It Is felt here that Brooke's appointment will heat the troubles that have wrecked Penn's hopes on the gridiron for the last five years.
