Hy John B. Foster.
Annually the New York Telegram makes
a feature of collecting varloua selections
of the font hall experts throughout the
eaat for an Ideal foot ball eleven.
Once It was railed the All-Anierlean
elaveu,-aird an all-American eleven la still
selected, hut it la not confined to men on
the eastern university . Uams, an was the
case lu the past. It ta more common now
to select an All-Eastern and an All-Went-ern
learn; although the c:itlcs of either
section are "retwnt about trmnplng In un
knmrn preserves.
Aa usual there have been some humorous
facta In ioiineetlon with the selection of
All-Amerlran teams Ihls year. One critic
gravely announces that he haa aeen but
two men play whom he haa placed on his
eleven, yet he la. quite willing to atand by
hie Judgment. Two of the men whom he
picked happened to play on the eleven
which wai represented In the city In which
l:e Uvea. If there had been no eleven
whar he lived very likely he would have
seen none of hla All-Amerlcan tcama play,
but ha would have been Just as happy In
making hla selection.
Michigan (.et a Player.
The annual visitation. of Michigan to the
east haa resulted in something. A good
opportunity has been offered to see what
the Michigan players .can do, and there
were enough critics free to class the
game between Michigan and Pennsyl
vania, to give Henbrook a' position as one
guard. Perhaps some of the men who
mad Benbrook their choice did not see
him play, but were Impressed by what
others had to aay about the Michigan
giant.
Kllpatrlck was chosen by every man for
the position of left end. There la not an
exception In the Vnlted States so far as
the writer has been able to glean infor
mation. Kllpatrick la the only unanimous
choice. Next to him ia Wendell, who la
practically a unanimous choice. Some
wanted Wendell for left half buck, some
for right half back, and some for full
back, but as all of tha duties of the back
field ar pretty much alike these daya,
It didn't matter a great deal for which
wing ha was chosen so long as he was
placed on tha team.
Hrnlth of Harvard took the other end
position aa opposed to a scattering vote.
As a matter of fact the best end of the
year, except Kllpatrick and Smith, was
Ollohrlst of tha Navy, and although he
did not obtain many votes, he was well
qualified to play end for any eleven which
was la' exUunca In 1S10.
Two Clood Men at tenter.
At centar there are two men who easily
. led all others In the east, and In the opin
ion of tha writer ona I quite as good as
tha other. They are Coicns of Pennsyl
vania and Morris of Yale. Because Mor
ris passed the ball better than any mat)
who played for any varsity team, and
pawed It well In the two games which
- war the supreme test of a good detenu,
tha writer prefers him on the All-Amerl
can team. Pennsylvania had soma difficult
game ta play but none that quite equalled
tha contest between Princeton and Yale
and that between Yale and Harvard.
. Thera Is so little to choose between
Howe and Sprackllng tiiat either of them
would grace any All-America team. Of tha
two Howe Is tha better generul. Hla Judg
ment In tha two crucial contests of the
season tor Yals waa ona of the greatest
feature of a peculiar foot ball season.
Bprtukllng Is a better goal kicker and is
so good In running with the ball that he
would make a half hack quite as accepta
able aa any who could be named.
That McKay of Brown university and
Mercer of Pennsylvania should carry off
two of tha back positions in the consensus
Is net very surprising. McKay was one of
the great backs of tha season. Mercer
shorn) well In making headway through the
line. If K littler had been faster and surer
on the line he would have been ona of the
.sterling backs of 1910.
Flakier hr Himself.
No guard was tha equal of Fisher of
Harvard. Ilia work outclassed that of any
of hla rivals. For conservative play and
accural play there seemed to be no tackle
who waa superior to McKay of Harvard.
- Ktiough of the cittlca were taken with the
brilliant work of Scully of Yale to give
him one of tha tackle positions.
Within ton of Harvard was In the thl
of tha fight for a tackle position, and
Brown of the Navy looms up well for
guard, and, by tha way, not only a the
game against the Army, but In other
games which were played during the year
Brown showed that ha Is made of the ma
terial of which a good guard should be
niade.

Omaha Magnate at State League Ses
sion Finds One Question
Regular Poser.
HASTINGS. Neb. tc. ll.-Wlll'am
Rottrke of Omaha was able to help the
Nebraska Base Pall league maBnates ad
just many perplexing matters at their
meeting here Wednesday night. He In
terpreted several Complex rules governing
the executive end of base ball; he gave
some valuable advice concerning the
makeup of the schedule; he dropped a
number of very acceptable hints relative
to the signing of players, and he did other
things for the good of the league in gen
eral. But One question waa propounded
that caused the base ball sage of the
metropolis to take water.
'"Ve ought to fix the salary of umpire."
fatd .1. C. Morgan of Seward. "I'd like to
ak Mr. Kourke what a go id umpire is
worth?"
"A good umpire ought to be worth a
million dollars," replied the Omaha mag
nate, but take It from me, there are no
good i.mplrrf. The best thing to do with
the umpires Is to shoot "em."

Father McCarthy
Friend of Clean Sport
Dead Priest Constant Visitor at Base
Ball Games Wanted Playing
to Be Square.
Father P. W. McCarthy, who died In
Omaha Wednesday, was one of the mot
consistent of base ball fans and a true
over of clean outdoor sports. In 18S7 when
base ball In Omaha was Just being started
he was an enthusiastic booster. Since then
he has been a familiar figure at the
Omaha base ball games, and even In the
last summer when It waa necessary for
him to have a man accompany him to
the grounds because of his long sickness
he was there rooting for Omaha.
In base ball and In other outdoor sports
ha was a strong advocate for straight play
ing and a clean game. And If tha game
was not clean the players and promoters
were liable to hear from Father Mc
Carthy. Ills seat was for year on the
south side of the grandstand reserved for
him, only the last year ha found It neces
sary to give It up and sit In ona of the
boxes.

terest In the St. Louis American league
base ball club from Robert Lee Hedges.

through him that the offer was made to
Hedges.
A special committee representing the
American league and consisting of Presi
dent Ban Johnson of the National league,
President Charles A. Comlskcy of the Chi
cago club and President Frank J. Kartell

for Chicago because the money offered
was not sufficient.

which would probably take over his hold
ings purposed to put in a winning team,
or a first division team at any cost. It Is
snld that Hedges values his American

grounds, "plant." etc., at enough more to
bring the total consideration up to a little

team It has been said the Bt. Iouls Amer
icana have consistently earned an averaga
profit of $30,000 a year.

and would play first bnse if his less per
mitted. He added that there would be
four or five Changes In the personnel of
the team.
"No club will sell at any price a good
player," said Mr. Russell, "therefore we
n.iiat develop our own. We will flrat de
vote all of our energies and our capital to
giving Boston a winning team, then we
will consider the building a new home.
Cntll we have a winning team, the old
grounds will be good enough."
Besides approving the retention of the
present classification of the Western and
Three-I leagues, the National league and
decided to call all umpires In to New York
to have their eyes examined.
President Charles H. Ebbetts of Brook
lyn, who has been the most active mem
ber of the schedule committee for years,
today lost that distinction. The league
today appointed President Lynch, Barney
Dreyfuss of Pittsburg and Secretary John
A. Heydlcr as the schedule committee.

Westegaard Wants
to Wrestle in Omaha
The Chinese national athletic meet a
Nanking was not a"owcd to rass without
exercising some 'nflucnce on the vered
question of the queue. On the voyage
down from the north the subject came
up for discussion among the traveling
athletics The general consensus of opin
ion was that the queue was a grave han
dicap, and as a reault a number of the
competitor cut off their queues before
they landed. During the contests (he
majority of the students tucked thelt
queues Into their belts or the top of
their "shorta," but often the queue would
slip out and trail behind them in the air.
One of the competitors had the misfor
tune after clearing the b.ir In the hlirh
Jump to dislodge It with his queue. He
failed to Jump the same height at sub
sequent attempts, and appeared the next
day minus the queue.
Kansas May Travel
East to Find Coach
Board of Regents Postpones Action at
Lawrence and Question is
Up in Air,
LAWnE.VCE, Kan., Dec. Id The action
of the board of regent of the Cnlversity
of Kansas at their recent session In fall
ing to take any cognizance of the ques
tion of choosing a new coach leaves this
question open for continued speculation.
It was stated by one of the members of
the board that nothing would be done
relative to the foot ball situation before
a late meeting next spring. The reasons
for the long postponement th's member
refused to make known, however.
As Chancellor Strong has said that
Kennedy or Morse are not to be consid
ered, the solution of the problem nar
rows down to two possible alternatives
either a system of graduate reaching will
be put into operation, or Kansas wlli
follow the lead of Missouri and travel
eastward In search of a oapnble tra'ner
and coach. And the last named possi
bility seems to be the "best guess" Just
at this time. ,
