series money and suspended until
May 20 by Commissioner I.andis for
participating in the barnstorming

Fred J. (Brick) Wilder, premier
catcher of the Eastern league whom
the Springfield club sold to Omaha
a few days ago, ranks as one of
the hardest hitters ever in a Spring
field uniform. He knocked the ball
over the fence 12 times the past
season, ma4e seven three-baggers
and 31 two-baggers, his average
being .304. He was not only the
hardest hitter but the most timely
batsman on the Springficl! club.
Wilder has been with the Spring
field club three seasons, coming
from Worcester. Two seasons be
fore that he was with the Red So:;,
but they switched him to the In
ternational league and finally he

To Take a Bride
Los Angeles, Dec. 20-Earl J.
Thomson, a senior at Dartmouth
college, who in May, 1920, at Phila
delphia established a new world's
record of 14 2-5 seconds for the 120
yard hurdle, and Miss Anne Cook
man, a teacher at Whittier college

Seattle Hockey Team Wins
From Vancouver, 2 to 1
Vancouver, B. C, Dec. 20. Seattle
defeated Vancouver. 2 to 1, here last
night in a Pacific Coast Hockey as
sociation game. Feyston, Seattle
forward, scored both goals for the
visitors. Adams made the Mil
lionaires' tally.
Walter Hapgood of Rochester to
agree on a purchase price blocked
the transfer.
As a catcher Wilder was easily
the class of the league the past
season. His ann is good but not
brilliant. He gets his throws away
quickly, watches the bases closely
and is seldom tricked by a runner.
As a backstop for green or wild
pitchers he is a source of great en
couragement. The Springfield club
loses its most valuable worker and
one of the best players it ever had
on its roster
Wilder's participation in 118
games indicates his love for work.
Fans of this vicinity confidently
expect to see him wind up in the
International league if not the Na
tional league another season. He
is 26 years of age, stands a trifle
under six feet and weighs about 170.
His home is in Maynard, Mass.
Pal Moore Adds
Victory to Belt
Detroit, Dec. 20. Pal Moore of
Memphis, fresh from his victory over
Johnny Buff in Milwaukee, gave
Joey Schwartz, the tough little De
troitj bantam, a boxing lesson here
last night before the Moose A. C.
Moore outpointed Schwartz in every
one of the 10 rounds. Pal plastered
his rival with an avalanche of punch
es from almost every angle but
could make little impression on the
Detroiter, who kept boring in
throughout. Occasionally he was able
to land on the Memphis flash by
backing him into a corner. It was
a case of a clever boxer making a
slower man with a punch look bad.
Johnny Gray of New York won
the popular verdict over Sammy
Marino, Milwaukee bantam, in a hard
10-round semi-final.
Phil Gusmanof of Detroit gained
the decision over Fred Sullivan of
Detroit at 128 pounds in a six-round
preliminary.
Adams Trains Brown.
Livingston. Mont., Dec. 20. Joe
Adams- of Boston was given the de

of Chicago for 15 rounds in the Garden
on January 13. A! Lippe, who is here

tract with Rickard for three fights.
Rickard Is also negotiating for & match
between Billy Shade, the California mid
dleweight, and Harry Greb of Pittsburgh,

this match. The two had a 10-round.
no-decision bout in Pittsburgh. H is
understood Rickard has selected Decem
ber 30 as the date. If Greb should lose
to Shade the chances are he would be
excused from meeting Wilson for the

Shade would draw the prize.

the parchments calling tor Greb's match
with Johnny Wilson.

'New York, Dec. 20,Walter Camp, dean of foot ball
experts, made public his selection of the 1921 All-American
foot ball team, in an article published in the current issue
of Collier's Weekly. Camp's annual picking of the eleven
star girdiron performers has been awaited by followers of
the pigskin with keen interest. He has selected a first, sec
ond and third team, graded in accordance with his idea of
thevplayer's individual ability. His selections follow :
FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN. THIRD ELEVEN.
End .... i . Muller, California
Tackle. . ..Stein, Wash. & Jeff.
Guard .... Schwab, Lafayette
Center. . . .Vick, Michigan
Guard .... Brown, Harvard
Tackle.... McGuire, Chicago
End Roberts, Centre
Quarter. . .A. Devine, Iowa
Halfback. Killinger, Pa. State
Halfback. Aldrich, Yale
Fullback.. Kaw, Cornell
Commenting on his choice of these
three teams, Camp says:
"The standard of foot ball palycrs
this year has been high. So many
men of exceptional value are avail
able that the selection of the first
team has been made only after de
tailed consideration of the history
and ability of each man under all
possible conditions.
"In looking this team over we
find that we are well protected
against any possible contingencies.
And that is a factor that has made
more champion teams than probably
any other asset, rirst, we have a
center who is absolutely accurate.
Iext. a Quarterback ot sound iuuit-
ment, a real general, and a man who
is sturdy enough to last through a
game or a season. We have a pair
of ends who are absolutely certain
to get down the field under kicks.
LYe have four men in the backfield,
en kicks or forward passes by the
opponents, any of whom Aldrich,
Killinger, Kaw or Devine is likely
to turn a caught punt in mid-field
into a long run. We have in Stein
and Vick a pair of men either of
whom can play a roving position on
defense with telling effect, and we
have in Schwab and Brown men
who can stop up any gap in the
middle, while in McGuire we have
a tackle whom the interference can
not put out, and who, in fact, is like
ly to break through the, interference
and down the runner.
"So much for the safety points of
our eleven. As to their attack, we
have the highest pick of any grid
iron field for a decade in running
ability, and, superimposed upon this
condition, we possess effective and
deceptive forward passing. We have
Muller for the long passes and also
as a receiving end, with .Roberts,
Aldrich and Killinger to give the
shorter type. Aldrich especially for
a fast, low, diagonal one, while Mul
ler, Aldrich and Killinger are all
adepts at shooting through and re
ceiving the pass. We have three
good field goal kickers. We have
two high-speed men and two sturdy
plowers.
As to assistance in the running
game, Kaw and Devine are especially
good interferers. No man would
ask to work with a better pair of
ends than Muller and Roberts, to
gether with the tackles, McGuire and
Stein, to aid in wing attacks. And
certainly Schwab and Brown at
guards.iand Vick at center, would
open up the middle as few lines have
been opened up in the history of
the game.
"On present schedules a final rank
ing of teams is impossible, and no
attempt will be made to select the
country's foremost eleven. Let the
sectional champions, already discuss
ed, rest upon the laurels they have
so fairly swon, with the assurance
that if any one of them were to
meet any other a great game would
result and the issue might be in
doubt to the last minute of play."

Deans Take Slap at
Girls' Basket Ball
Kansas Association of Deans
Takes Measures to Pro
hibit Cage Games.
r '
Topeka. Kan., Dec. 20.TBasket
ball, as a sport among girl high
school students in Kansas, will soon
be taboo, providing the plans of
the Kansas Association of Deans of
Women are carried out.
The association adopted the fol
lowing resolution at its annual con
vention held here recently:
"Resolved, That whereas inter
scholastic basket ball injures the
girl student both morally and phys
ically because of the constant chas
ing around to different schools in
different parts of the country to par
ticipate in games, the Kansas As
sociation of Deans of Women does
not approve of interscholastic bas
ket ball for girls, and in the future
the various deans of women at dif
ferent schools and universities
throughout Kansas will fight all ef
forts of athletic organizations to hold
girls' basket ball tournaments in any
section of the state."
"Kansas colleges did away with
girls' basket ball tournaments two
years ago," Dean Susan B. Guild
of Washburn college, Tojeka, de
clared, "because we felt that it har
bored no good for the girls. Now
we want to see the high schools do
the same thing we have done in
the colleges."
Women from 18 different Kansas
colleges and universities attended the
convention.

Abe Mitchell stepped over laM sum

It Is understood that next summer
two other British professionals, with
Sandy Herd mentioned as the draw

luck on American links. This win

holders of the American and British
open titles, are going to the coast for

Yanks Get Busy.
So in all the "mopping up" that ha ,
been done and is on the bocks fo
future business, not a single Ameri
can homebred golfer has benefited.
This seems hardly just to the many
fine golfers who were born on .this
side of the Atlantic, learned then
game here and have always playJd
here. It seems reasonable to expect
that a pair of American homebretls
could do a little successful barn
storming. I And the crux of the matter is that
some of them arc giving this matter
serious considcra-
tion. Foremost oi

4JOCK "" because he wore
such a great variety of flashy clothes
and appeared in a tuxedo at winter
golfing resorts.
He drew a few unkind comments
from British professionals the first
year he went over to play in the
British open, but last vear at St.
Andrews he was as popular as any
man there. He even won the hearts
of the old school Scotch professionals
when he took some of them into his
room, opened his trunks and told
them to help themselves to his out
fits. And they know he can play the
game. When George Duncan ar
rived in England after completing his
American tour he told a golf ball
manufacturer who has since returned
to this country that "Hagen is the
best of the lot in the states."
Hagen May Tour.
Hagen is thinking of going on
tour, and this summer will undoubt
edly see him on the road. He plans
to play in the British open at Sand
wich and return immediately to the
United States. He may tour soiix;
this winter. Considering the num
ber of titles he has won and the fact
tbat lie is America's foremost home
bred professional, and has been for
a number of years, Hagen has played
in a few exhibitions.
The first time he went to Great
Britain to play in the British open
at Deal he got just one exhibition
match there, although he was at the
time the American open champion.
About the only exhibitions he has
had in America were those in which
he was asked to be one of a pair to
play against either Vardon and Ray
jor Duncan and Mitchell.
