play on the part of the atari and
the number of Injuries to the better play
era make the aelectlon of an all-Iowa team
a difficult proposition this year In com
parlaon with, past aeaaona. Another pe
culiarity of the present aeaaon haa been
the general dearth of good guard material,
and In the aelectlon below a taokle and a
center are ahlfted to the guards.
Following la tha all star Hat:

Murphy, Iowa, fullback.
Of thla Hat Iowa haa four representatives,
Drake three, Cornell two, Normal one and
Amea one.
Coppeaa la given left end because of hla
punting ability, though he played at half
back thla aeaaon. However, two yeara ago
Coppeaa demonstrated hla ability as an end
rush and because of tha absence of stars
In thla position the ahlft waa made. Neldlg
of Cornell played good consistent foot ball
throughout the fall and ahould prove an
ideal running mate for the powerful Iowa
captain. Gross, whose tight tackle playing
waa one of the feature! of tha year. The
Iowa oaptaln-eleot la given right end and
he la almost certain to be a universal
choice, aa be waa a year ago.
'O'Brien played center for Iowa on of
fense and tackle on defenae, and after the
last gam the players on the Iowa team
and those on opposing elevena admitted
that tha Dee Molnea lad had played a much
better game than he had been given credit
for thla year. Hla work at Lincoln and
against Amea waa remarkable In Ita ef
fectiveness Wilson la a powerful tackle
and a hlgb-olaaa lineman, capable ot play
ing treat guard. Bcott haa made an en
viable reputation. Behind the line la Ev

JOWA SCHEDULE NEXT TEAS
Mar Add NertkwMtera or Purdue to
Poot Ball List.
IOWA CITT, la., Nov. S7.-Speclal.)
With tha cloae of the present foot ball
aeaaon the attention of the athleUo authorl
tlea la directed toward the formation of
next year's foot ball schedule. Laat season
many believed that the start waa made too
late and for that reaaon the Hawkeyee
faced a most aggravating schedule thla
year.
The outline which the board will try to
follow probably la Qrlnnell. Drake. Amea,
Purdue, Nebraska, Northwestern and
either Illinois or Wisconsin, In the order
named. That Iowa will meet Drake Amea
and Nebraaka la practically assured and
I' la exceedingly probable that Northwest
ern and Purdue will be added to the Hat.
Illinois la anxious to add the Hawkeyes
to lta achedule next aeaaon and It waa
only becauae Of the chance to meet an
eastern eleven that Manager Ingold of the
Illinois aought any change In the aea
aon Just closed, but the atudenta wanted
the Syracuse game and Iowa withdrew lta
claim. Wisconsin, according to the local
understanding, la confronted by the proposi
tion of five gamea and the fact that a
Michigan game la always a threatening
possibility at the Badger Institution.
It la probable that Mlaaouri, Cornell and
Kanaaa will be dropped from the Iowa list,
owing to the ever Increasing demand from
the Iowa atudenta that the team play
..agalnat conference teama.

The race waa on a half-mile circular

The day has gone by when an All-Iowa
tnterscholasllo eleven could be picked by
merely choosing the beat players out of
two or three teama, and the game In Iowa
haa so gone forward that where two or
three years ago there were lesa than a half
dozen Class A teama, there are now no lesa
than sixteen high school elevena that may
be so ranked. The alxteen are: Qrlnnell,
East High, Ida Grove, North High, Clin
ton, Iowa City, West High, Marshalltown,
Iowa Falls, DeMara, Sioux City, Ottumwa,
Knoxvllle, Oskaloosa, Davenport and Du
buque. Margin la Narrow.
Becauao of the Increased number of
Class A players in the state the margin
between the first, second and third teams
la a narrow one. Todd of Ida Grove, Balrd
of East High and Hoerleln of Iowa City
have earned their rank on the first eleven,
and to Balrd is given the captaincy of the
All-Iowa. Dast yearN Balrd relied on his
speed, but thla year, when he mixed brains
with hla fleetness of foot, he developed
into one of the greatest halves Iowa haa
ever produced. Todd Is the greatest de
fensive half In the state, and his offenso
Is strong, but he was a marked player this
season and did not make the gains he did
last season. Hoerleln, at full, la great, and
It Is unfortunate that thla Is his senior year
and that his high school play Is over. He
strips 170, Is a six-footer and la strong on
line-smashing and running back punts.
At quarter we have three star men In
Hutchlna, Bufflngton and Fetters. All are
light men, atrip around the 130 mark, and
all are strong on carrying tha ball aa well
as In defense. Hutchlna haa much the style
of Vlo Bredimus, the famous East High
quarter. He plays again next year.
Ends Are Even.
The ends aa picked are very even, and
while Hunt of West High and E. Martin
of' Grlnnell seem to have the call on the
first team, Fobes of Ida Grove and Hites
of North High are very close, and Sellers
of East and March of Ida Grove are among
the beat the atate has produced.
Horn of Ida and Stuart of Clinton make
a great pair of tackles. Stuart strips at
160 and Is a six-footer, aged 17. Horn
strips 154 and is five feet ten. Both are
strong on offense aa well as defense, both
fast and both ablo to stand 'the gaff of a
gruelling game with the best of them.
Three Sots of Guards.
Tha three Bets of guards are very closely
matched and their aelectlon waa determined
by submitting the problem to a number
of old atudenta of the game who have
watched the play of every man. Black
wood's play has been interfered with to
some extent by Injuries, but the fact that
he is the choice even then shows how
well he Is considered not only by those
who have watched his work, but by those
who have played against him. In some
ways Johnson of Sioux City would have
the call on either Swaney or Blackwood,
but considering everything the honors fall
to the latter two. Mattlson of Oskaloosa
has played a great game at tackle, but
Is placed at guard. Pederson of West High
and Dili of North high are both men who
could alwaaya be relied upon, and their
play haa been consistently good. Men
playing guard get little credit for what
they do.
Centers Excellent.
Herschel of Marshalltown, Blrdsall of
North and Peraxzo of Sioux City are three
great centers and the first two named are
especially strong on the defensive feature.
Welsh Is living up to the traditions of
the family and has played a atroirg game
at the keystone for East high, while Bird
of Ida Orove and Hewitt of West high
have played brilliantly.
4 The team, as picked, would be heavy
but fast and strong In every department
of the game. They have the ability to
play In the mud or on a fast field, to
play the old Hue plunging game or to
quickly shift to the open game, strong on
offense and on defense, wellnlgh Impregna
ble. The First team would be unbeatable
In the west, but the Second team could
make them play to win, and the Third
team could make them go some.
All ot which is merely a matter of
opinion.
THEY DO IT DLFFEEENT HEBE
Crowd violas Battle Hoyal Over It ace
Horse Judae's Decision.
VIENNA, Nov. Tl. The other afternoon
the famous trotting course on the Prater
was the scene of such scandalous excesses
aa have never before been witnessed there.
A race course crowd Is notoriously prone to
give vent to Its fuellnga, especially when
It thinks that an injustice has been done to
Its pockets, and It was thla Idea which led
to a battle royal. In which a good deal of
blood was spilled, heads were broken, and
much miscellaneous damage done to prop
erty. The cause of this display of violent pas
sion was a false start, owing to which the
first three horses to reach the winning
pest were disqualified, and the fourth ar
rival waa declared to be the wluuer. He
was a rank outsider, and to his fortunate
backers the "totallsator" paid odds of 60
to 1. This decision did not find favor with
the public, who promptly began to create
a disturbance. Stands were reduced to
match-wood, and stones, beer glasses and
other mlKslles were hurled at the heads of
the )udgea. With cries of "Lynch them!"
th i Infuriated mob sentenced the Judges to
death, but these unlucky Individuals Just
managed to escape before the sentence could
be carried out. The windows and door of
the Imperial box were smashed.
Authority In the shape of the police ar
rived on the scene, but met with such a
hostile reception that the order "Draw
kwords!" ws given, and many people re
ceived a taale of cold steel, sotu being seri
ously lnj.ired. The riot put a atop to the
siort, and the remainder of the program
was not carried out After a brief struggle
the disturbance was quelled, fifty-four per
sona being arrested. The remainder rue
fully dispersed, some counting their losses,
others their bruises, and on the scene of
the riot lay a heterogeneous collection of
hats, sticks, match wood and broken glass.
Boston Club
May Change
Its Owners
Plan is Said to Be Under Way to
Have the Control of the Club
Transferred from Dovey.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17. Among the major
league base ball magnates It la rumored
Just now that during the coming conclave
of the club owners In this city the owner
ship of the Boston National league club
will come up, for considerable discussion.
It appears that a majority of the National
league men are anxloua to bring about a
change In the way the game haa been
handled at the old South End grounds in
the Hub and that some of them will doubt
less advise John Dovey, who controls the
club, to sell out to one of several bidders.
When Soden, Conant and Billings disposed
of the Boston club to the late George B.
Dovey It waa generally understood that
Barney Dreyfus of the Pittsburg club waa
thi man who furnished the money. But It
since has developed that Dovey received
only the moral support of Dreyfus, who
dug up some moneyed friends In the Smoky
City and elsewhere to help Dovey make the
deal.
From the beginning of the Dovey owner
ship, however, the Boston National league
club did not find much popular favor In
Ileantown, partly because of the American
league's strength there and partly because
the Dovey teams could not play good ball.
When George B. Dovey died the club'a con
trol passed into the hands of hla brother
Jchn and at the same time the team con
tinued to go from bad to worse. The climax
was reached last season when the Boston
Nationals finished last, while the Boston
Anerlcans came In third after making a
sensational fight for the pennant.
While the American made nearly $200,000,
Dovey'a club lost a quirter of that sum, of
which the minority stockholders have been
asked to make good a part Yet Dovey
haa refused several offers to sell hla plant
Itls understood that one of these offers
was" made by Fred Knowles, secretary of
the New York Giants, whose . financial
backer, It Is said, was Harry M. Stevens.
Edward Hanlon also la reported to have
made an offer for the club, only to have a
prohibitive price put on the franchise by
Dovey.
With the National league, therefore, dead
In Boston and no prospect of returning to
life, the magnates have decided to ask
Dovey and his friend Dreyfuss some ques
tions at the coming league meeting. It 1?
known that If Dovey will put a price on
hla club there will be several persons ready
to talk business, and among them la a man
who represents a Boston syndicate which
la ready to spend money Jlberally for new
players. While Dovey la conscientious and
eager to win, the magnates say his limited
knowledge of base ball Is a serious handi
cap and that not until he withdraws from
the club can there be any hope of sucoess.
A winning team at the South End grounds
would be a big money maker. It la argued,
and the National league will naturally be
the gainer. Boston fans alwaya have
patronized a winner, and that la why the
magnates, realizing that Dovey cannot pro
vide the necessary article, are demanding a
change.
BEMEDT FOB THE SPIKE EVIL
Slide Head First Says Secretary Ber.
nard of the Cleveland Team.
So It seems that after all the agitation
and opposition to the spike It la going to
stay. Magnates and managers have
about come to the conclusion that It
Is a necessary evil. But E. S. Ber
nard, secretary of the Cleveland team,
which has been perhaps the greatest of
all sufferers from the effects of the
spike, proposes two simple laws that will
deprive the spike of ts harmful Influ
ence and at the same time not keep Its
natural beneflta from the player. Make
all players slide head first and call a
base runner safe when a baseman or
fielder blocks him. Certain it Is that a
howl will go up against he proposition of
Eliding head first Many skilled base
runners and managers have long ago de
nounced thla aystem as both dangerous
and Impossible of as good results as the
feet-first styla. To the argument that
the headforemost slide Involves the peril
of the base runner It is only necessary to
suggest the awful results that have ac
crued to the baseman from the feet-flrat
slide, and the difference between the two
is, in favor of the headward dive, for the
baae runner in that attitude la the man
who la hurt and cannot If he wants to
hurt the baseman under ordinary cir
cumstances. On the other hand there Is
no real reason why the haaeman ahould
hurt him. The temptation of a daring
base runner to shove his spike where the
baseman will either have to suffer per
sonal injury or get out of the way end
allow the steal. Is, as everybody knows
from experience, too great for many men
to resist And besides without the
aid of Intention the spike has done
terrible mischief. Arlle Datham when a
member of tho celebrated St. Doula
Browns Four-time Winners was univer
sally conceded te be the king of base run
ners. He alwaya slid Lead" first. He
wrote a book on baae running and In that
he urged young players never to atart
out by eliding feet first, but alwaya go
Into the baae headward. It paid in Da
tham'a case, why wouldn't it pay today
In the case of other ba.ie lunnersT Elimi
nating the spike, the feet first slide la
not to be compared In rid vantages to the
headward slide. It is not as swift, not
us deceptive and doea not give a base
runner as good command of the situation
as does the slide that keepa the face to
the front. That In itself Is proof of the
ulterior motive of sliding feet first Of
course it seems to be tathsr a restrictive
measure to outlaw the feet first slide,
yet base ball has frequently found It
necessary to sacrifice some advantageous
and Interesting features to the general
good of the game, and It looks that such
a crisis Is at hand with reference to the
spike. The reform would not appear half
as radical after a season or so as many
others adopted In recent years which to
day are so popular thit player nor man
ager would do without them. Base ball
after all must conserve the highest prin
ciples of huminltartf.nUm If it Is to con
tinue in Its wonderful progress as the
acme of athletic endeavor and aane sports
manship. Mnrphy -Not Interested.

PUGS COME OF HARDY STOCK
Some Hall from Keiriiia and Others
from Mines.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27. The meteoric
stars of pugilism. In great measure, are
the raw, unheard-of youngsters who come
from nowhere, show class and quality
when they get their first chance in fast
company, and then go along the line whip
ping everyone while youthful strength re
mains unimpaired by foolish dissipation.
Such was the history of stars without num
ber, and such will be the history of many
stars who are yet to come.
Down In southern Illinois, In a little town
called Herrln, lives a piece of fighting; tim
ber that. In the opinion of the few critics
who have been so fortunate as to behold
him, la the destined marvel of the decada
In his own class, and perhaps beyond It.
This young fellow la an Irish blacksmith
and his name Is Hlchard Ferrell.
Billy Papke was a mining blacksmith and
a harness mender for the mules of the Illi
nois mines. Oddly enough Ferrell held thla
position in another mine, . and It can be
taken for granted that both Papke and
Ferrell, brought up to this kind of grueling
work, are of herculean strength and vigor.
Papke got his chance first, and the fistic
world knows how well he Improved It.
Ferrell's turn is yet to come, and all who
have seen the second of the Illinois black
smiths In action think he will cut as wide
a swath as the German slugger.
Old Bob Fltzslmmons Is credited with
finding Ferrell In the obscurity of the lit
tle Illinois village. The good old boy was
showing through that part of Illinois a
couple of years ago and when his company
played a one-night stand at Herrln young
Ferrell sought out the veteran. Just what
passed between the blacksmith champion
of the past and the aspiring blacksmith
of tho present was never known, and
neither Bob nor Ferrell ever told the story
of their Interview. Perhaps the great
Cornlshman tried Ferrell out In his room
at the village hotel perhaps he only looked
him over, took keen judgment of his won
derful strength and bulldog style and
Judged him accordingly. However this
may be. Bob for many weeks afterward
told all the fighting critics whom he met
that there was "a blooming devil, a fight
ing wonder, my word," in the little Illinois
town.
A promoter, who was holding shows at
Peoria, heard old Bob mention the boy
and sent for him to fight one Billy May
field, one of the toughest of all the wan
dering fighters, who go from coast to
coast, battling where they can. The record
books show that Jack O'Keefe, Battling
Nelson and Cyclone Thompson had the
fight of their lives with this fellow and
were unable to even dent tilm. Fen oil
dented him. It took a little less than two
rounds.
Slnco the fighting game shut down In
Illinois Ferrell has been fighting In the
west and south. He had cleaned up a lot
of third and second rate pugs and now
yearns to meet real ones for real money
hence he Is coming east. Some sensation,
too, when the fighters even get a glimpse
at this young man.
Ferrell Is the exact twin of Tom Sharkey,
face and body, only on a minor acale, as
he can do 142 pounds. This mass of muscle
and bulldog ferocity attacks after the style
of Honey Mellody, but romes In much
faster, while his blows are far heavier
with either hand. Imagine Joe Walcott
and Honey Mellody blended Into one and
you have Richard Ferrell, southwestern
welter champion. He ought to prove a good
one.

The reason of this sale is to reduce our stock to a point
where it would have been had the warm weather during the
fall not prevailed. Up to that time our business was booming
and had gone away ahead of nil previous years.
We had prepared for a heavy fall trade with the largest
stock we ever bought. When the warm weather ensued there
was a sudden check. Consequently we are overstocked. Not
seriously so but enough to make us hustle a little. Besides
we are so immensely pleased with the year's business that wo
can afford to be liberal, so we make this offer for the afore
said reasons.
Our Guarantees
If you will attend this sale we will make you two guaran
tees: First, that you cannot duplicate tho price. Second, that
we will not accept one cent of your money unless you are fully
satisfied with anything we make you.
Remember, any suit or overcoat in the house, values up
to $35.00-for only 20.00.

C0FFE0TH WELL BE ON THE JOB
Wise Ones Say He Will De There
with the Successful Bid for the
Johnson-Jeffries Fltchi on
December 1.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27. "It s all right to
be a wise guy, but don't let tha other fel
low know it If you do, everybody will
steer clear of you, fearing they will got
the worst of It on any kind of a proposi
tion." Billy Brady, producer of champions and
a promoter of sporting events of massive
proportions, used to say that yeara ago
before the theatrical profession claimed
all his attention. And It seems that Jimmy
Coffroth, the fight promoter from 'Frlsoo,
has taken Brady's advloe. Coffroth la a
second Brady and neither auffera In the
comparison.
Comparatively alight In build, healthy In
appearance, with an eye that bespeaks
nothing but confidence In those with whom
he may oome In contact, Coffroth might be
taken for an everyday clerk of the average
intelligence. How different when one comes
to know him. Instead, he Is sharp-witted
and brilliant, quick to see opportunities
and with an lntllect that enables him to
make the most of them. It Is this Inborn
ability that haa earned for the youthful ap
pearing westerner the reputation of being
a P. T. Barnum among promoters of fistlo
events.
Coffroth will. In all probability, handle
the Jeffries-Johnson fight. He hasn't put
in a bid yet, nor Intimated to anyone what
he will do In the matter, but It la safe to
predict that on the day, December 1, when
the showdown will come, when bids of
various kinds and dimensions will be fin
ally considered, Coffroth will be on the
job.
Coffroth is Ready.
"Jim Kennedy put ms in the fight pro
moting business," said Coffroth the other
day. "I always regarded 'Big Jim' as an
Ideal manager. He waa a revelation to me,
and but for him I might have continued to
be a court clerk, as I was before I ran
into him. He Bhowed me where I could
make big money In other pursuits, and be
ing only a kid at the time I naturally
swelled up In anticipation of what I might
be. I took Kennedy's tip and here I am
today on the Job to handle the biggest
fight in the history of pugilism."
Without any Bhow of boasting, Coffroth
says he has promoted more championship
battles than any one man In the world. Up
to his time a championship contest was
unheard of in California. Among those he
promoted are the Jeffrlea-Ruhlln bout In
1901. the first heavyweight championship
fight on the coast (won by Jeff In five
rounds). This fight netted a gate of $31,000.
Following that waa the Jeffrles-Fltzslm-mons
fight of 1902. This battle gave Fits a
second chance to win back his title. He,
however, was beaten again, but there was
some balm In the gate receipts, which
amounted to (32.000. '
On August 14, 1903, Coffroth pulled off
his biggest heavyweight championship
fight, that between Jeffries and Jim Cor
bet t. Although the prices were moderate
for an event of Its kind and Importance
from $3 to 120 the receipts reached the
record amount of $(12,000.
Some II I v Untiles.
On August 2, 1904, Coffroth promoted the
last heavyweight Championship fight In
this country, between Jack Munroe and
Jeffries, which came to an abrupt end
in the second round. Coffroth also promised
on July 4, 1307, the fight between the
Australian, Hill Squires, and Tommy
Burns, which Burns won In the first
round.
Coffroth has brought off successfully
many Important battles aside from the
heavy weight contests. For Instance, the
Brltt-Nelson twenty-round battle In De
cember, Vj(H, In which Brltt got the de
cision, and likewise their return engage
ment In September, 19u6, at Colma, when
Nelson knocked Hrltt out in the eighteenth
round. This fight had a gate of $4H,3il,
the biggest drawn down by any fight ex
cept a heavyweight bout. But for Billy
Nolan's kick to the referee at the lust
minute Coffroth says the receipts would
have been 120,000 more.
Coffroth originated the forty-five-round
idea. He evolved the Idea by figuring that,
starting at i o'clock and assuming that
it would go the entire distance, the fight
would be over In thr.e hours. Everything,
according to his dope, would be ended be
fore darkness set In and the spectators
could get back to town at a reasonable
hour. He also figures that forty-five
rounds la quite sufficient to decide the
question of aupremaoy. The longest time
necessary In deciding a fWht with which
he was officially connected was tie Leach
Cruss-Dlck Hyland boul, when It took
ompatiy

Syland forty-one rounds to put the New

Coffroth has his own Ideas about the
value of fight plcturea. Some think that
to make pictures profitable ten rounds at
least would be necessary. Coffroth says
