Now that college football has been
officially declared down and out for
the season of 1903 the experts will get
together and figure on the socalled all
American eleven. This is the team,
which-on paper only-is composed of
the men who have shown UP best at
their positions during the past season.
All around excellence is the primary
qualification for membership on this
team.
1t is not quite such easy picking as
it was last year. Then Yales team was
so much better than all the rest that
almost all the players came from the
Blue. The few vacant places were
easily filled. But this season every
team has played such uniformly bad
football all the time that men shine
only because they were uniformly ac-
curate, and not because of real great
ness. That is, with two or three ex-
ceptions.
In making up the all-American elev-
en- the start is, strangely enough, made
at the ends. OF course, Capt. Raf-
ferty of Yale has his place mailed"
He was a splendid end last year, and
his work this season has shown no
falling off. The other wing man would
be Henry of Princeton, who did bet
ter work than Shevlin of Yale: ex-
Capt. Davis of Princeton, Bowditch of
Harvard. or Bishop of Columbia, all
of whom deserve honorable mention.
In selecting for tackles a Yale man
again easily leads for one of them. He
is James Hogan. He is the best ground
gaining tackle of the year, and plays
his defense in good style. The other
tackle should be Thorpe of Columbia,
who has been a strong, consistent
player. The substitute position should
go either to Knowlton of Harvard or
Ralph Kinney of Yale
John r. Dewitt of Princeton is far
and away the best for the guards
place. He is a splendid defense play
er, excellent on the attack, and above
all, a man who can take the kicking

Boomer OF Yale had played enough.
he would have been the other guard.
But Andy" Marshall of Harvard

Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens,
who spent yesterday in Savannah, is
of the opinion that the farmers of
Georgia will make up the difference
on other farm products that they will
lose through the shortage Of the cot
ton crop. Georgia farmers, he says,
have no cause to complain of hard
times this year.
There was no important business con-
nected with the Commissioners visit
to Savannah. Having been in Barlow
county on a short business trip he
concluded he would spend a day in Sa-
vannah before returning to Atlanta,
and spent yesterday among friends.
Speaking of the crop conditions

Hunt Clubs Preliminary Chase-An-
nuaI Meeting Tomorrow.
The season for fox hunting is here
with the cold crisp weather. The Chat
ham Hunt Club has started later this
year than usual owing to the warm
weather. The pack of hounds now
number twenty. They are all good
dogs and are trained alone for foxes.
DR.. Corbin, master of KENNEL, picked
up several fine dogs when he went
through Virginia in the summer and
he predicts a fine season here with
foxes.
Several members of the club went
out on preliminary hunt yesterday
to get the dogs accustomed to the
field. The hounds behaved beautiful
ly and were not long in making the
woods ring with their music and in
putting Reynard to his best work,
through pine barren and broomsage.
Tomorrow night the annual meeting
of the club will be held at the De Soto
when officers for the coming year will
be chosen.
The clubs membership is now more

FARMERS CANNOT COMPLAIN
OF HARD TIMES THIS YEAR
Commissioner of Agriculture Estimates Cotton
Shortage at soc. 900 Bales

throughout the state, he said that from
reports which have been received at
the agricultural department the cotton
crop this year will be 100000 bales
short of last year.
But all over the state" said Mr..
Stevens, 81 find that the farmers have
raised unusually large crops of every
thing else but cotton and the cotton
that has been raised is brining a good
price. The corn, potato, pea and sugar
cane crop is the best in many years"
The crop in this immediate section
of the state are declared by Mr..
Stevens to be better than in some
and throughout the northern part of
the state the crops have all been re-
ported very late this year. The in
clination on the part of farmers to
hold their cotton for higher prices, he
said, is general throughout the state.

MILLER AND WHITE TO
BOX IN CHARLESTON.

Last Meeting Between the Two Was
Draw Giving Excuse for Return
Match.
Herman Miller and Cub White are
matched to meet for twenty round
go before the Charleston Athletic Club
on Friday night. This will be the
second fight that these two men have
had in Charleston, the one last Friday
night resulting in a draw, as no doubt
the next one will.
In Savannah there is very little pros
poets of a continuance of the game,
as the attendance on the last two or
thre matches was so poor that the
men are not willing to agree to a match
on the percentage plan, and reports
have gone out of the poor attendance
here until it is a hard matter to get
men, that lovers of the game are will
ing to pay their money to see, to
come here.

SOME FAST TRIALS
AT THE RACE TRACK.

Honolulu RecIed or n Mile Yester-
day in 1;41 Easily.
The track out at the Fair Grounds
now is faster than it has ever been,
and the horses that are being winter
ed there are doing some fast work
on these pretty days.
Harry Schultz had his string out
yesterday, and sent Honolulu. his old
campaigner, a mile in 1:41, the fastest
time that has yet been made on the
track
St. Juvenal, who Mr. Schultz has en-
tered in the Crescent City Derby, went
the six furlong route in TIA handily,
and seems to be in grand form Mr..
Schultz expects to see his Watercress
colt in the money in that big event.

BOWLING LEAGUE WILL
PLAY AGAIN TOMORROW.

Fourth of the Series of Games VIII
Take Place at TOmOchfchi Alleys.
The fourth of the series of contests
between teams of the Tri-Club Bow
ling League will take place to-mor-
row night at the alleys of the Tomo-
chichi Club.
So far the Hussars' team leads cas-
lily, but the other two teams have
been practicing hard and expect to
show unusual development when they
meet the champions tomorrow night.
The interest exhibited in these con-
tests so far this season is greater than
ever before, and the playing of the
several teams is better than any that
has ever been seen here. A comparison
of the scores with those of previous
years will illustrate how the different
players have improved.

following tomorrow morning.
"Inasmuch as several of the cam
didates nominated in the Citizens

reasons that it will be impossible for
them to make the race, we deem it
both unwise and inexpedient to sac
rifice the other candidates, who are
put out to make the race on said ticket.

ALL-AMERICAN ELEVEN BEING SELECTED
Yale Leads With the Number Of Men Who Will
No Doubt Be Chosen.

tions. Its really a toss up between he
and Marshall.
For center the berth lies between
Hooper of Dartmouth and Bruce of
Columbia, with the odds in favor of
the former. He is fat and heavier than
the Columbia man, and a wee bit more
aggressive.
Quarterback is a hard place to fill.
Whether it should be Rockwell of Yale,
or Jones of Columbia, is the question.
Rockwell. however. should be the
choice. Jones played with excellent
judgment throughout, and is a good
man on running back kicks, surprising
Rockwell in that department.
In halfbacks there is a wide choice.
Two men stand out prominently.
Mitchell of Yale. an excellent punter
and good both on attack and defense,
and Kafer of Princeton, hard run
ner and dodger to stop.
These two are chosen in preference
to Farnsworth of West Point, Nichols
of Harvard, Rice of Cornell, Mills Of
Harvard. and Owsley and Metcalf of
Yale.
For fullback there is but one man.
That is Schoelkopf of Harvard The
former Cornell man has been a splen-
did player throughout the whole sea-
son. There are few his equals at de-
Tense. and his attack was superb in
the Yale game. His substitute should
be Dick Smith of Columbia, whose
general work is far better than that of
Bowman or Farmer of Yale, or Coffin
of Cornell.
On this basis the two all-American
teams in the Eastern universities would
line up something like this:
First Team.
Henry, left end, Princeton.
Hogan, left tackle, Yale.
Dewitt, left guard. Princeton.
Hooper. Center, Dartmouth.
Marshall, right guard, Harvard
Thorpe, right tackle, Columbia,
Rafferty,. right end, Yale.
Rockwell, quarter back. Yale.
Mitchell. left half, Yale.
Kafer right half, Princeton.
Schoelkopf, full back, Harvard.
Shevlin, left end Yale.
Second Team.
Knowlton. left tackle, Harvard.
Bloomer. left guard, Yale.
Bruce. center. Columbia.
Stangland, right guard, Columbia.
Kinney, right tackle, Yale.
Davis, right end. Princeton.
Jones, quarter back Yale.
Nichols, left half, Harvard
Farnsworth, right half, West Point.
Smith, full back, Columbia.

Bob Davis is not the only trainer
who has found the South a good train
ing place. Ed Geers is another who
has spent a number of years in the
sunny cline. Mr.. Geers has trained
in many different places, one year GO
ing all the way to California, but, as
the clever reinsman said lately, 'the
South is the only place for a trainer
to ship his horses during the cold sea-
son if he wishes to have his horses
get every benefit possible"
Willard Sanders, who has trained for
many years in California, is another
reinsman who will spend the winter in
the South. Mr.. Sanders has had sue
cess in bringing horses across the
mountains many years, but, as he
said lately, he was training horses
owned in that country. but he believ
ed south of the Mason and Dixon line
was the best place for trainer to
take horses and prepare them for the
next years campaign. He will take
the worlds champion trotter, Lou Dill
lon, 1.5S%, to Memphis this winter.
Mr.. Sanders has decided to omen a
public stable at that track.
