This is 40 sensational statement it is
a startling fact, the truth of which any

and Johnson, if the forging of tia
chain Of destruction is to go or. is ex-
pected to test his ability TO come
back" along with the rest Of them.
Who Would Succeed Hims
If Johnson decides 70 r-,ire, wh3
will he designate as his successor?
He can't designate anybody. says
Mr. Snrkler for prize ring ethics, but
such things have been done. Jim Cor
bett willed his title to Peter Maher,
and old Bob FitzsimmonS. when the
opportunity presented itself, knocked
Maher down and took it away from
him.
1t caused complications, of course.
for when Fitzsimmons and Corbett met
subsequently at Carson, different opin-
ions were held as TO which man was
attacking the championship and which
defending it.
Therefore. I ask again, no matter
whether Johnson has a right TO toss
his laurel wreath to another fighter
or not, who would he be likely to
name in such a connection?
He does not like Sam Langford well
enough to deck him out with any IN
earned peacock feathers. ard if race
pride was strong enough in Johnson 10
impel him to leave the title to a man
Of his own color, he would probably
be beset with the fears that Langford
would treat the man Of his choice the
way Fitzsimmons treated Maher.
1t may be for that matter that john
son would prove selfish enough 10

negro that held the heavyweight cham
pionship and that he would resign in
favor of some pale face brother. Who

he never dreamed of. The game will
begin TO look easy and shots will pre-
sent themselves that were not deemed
possible to execute before the player
mastered the correct way of holding
the cue.
When one has learned to make a
proper bridge and to gain that free
dom of movsment which comes with
the added knowledge of how to hold
The cue gently, the stroke will follow
as a ma Ter of course.
In practically every shot, draw and
follow alike, the cue must follow
through the object ball from four to
six inches If this doesn't seem pos
sible in making a draw shot just try
it and you will be surprised. If you
have been having trouble jabbing at
the cue ball in your anxiety to get
the stick out of the way, try letting
the cue follow through the lower half
of the ball, exactly as you follow
through the upper half in making q
follow shot. The cue ball will come
back as though there was a string
attached to it. OF course the draw
and follow shots in their variety are
the backbone of the balkline or
straig'ht> rail players game. Without
them one cannot hope to make runs"
Without them the balls soon get scat
tered and the play becomes more diff
cult; with them it is possible to nurse
and get results.

New York, n. Y, Dec. 3.-In select
ing his all-American team this fall the
football critic has the job of his life
on his. hands 1t is doubtful if any two
experts will pick the same line, from
tackle to tackle. The back field men
are not so hard to decide upon and
there can be no disputing the fact that
fitzpatrick cannot be kept off the team.
To pick a running mate on the opposite
wing IS a very difficult task. Not
having seen any Western team in ac-
ton, l am forced to make my selecs
tons from fhe Eastern elevens alone.
Two Bound to Be In.
In picking the back field men I do
not see how anybody can keep Corbett,
of Harvard, and Pendleton. of Prince
ton, out of the lineup. Both played
sensational football all season and
were the biggest ground gamers for
their respective colleges. Pendleton did
not shine especially in the Yale game
nor did Corbett, either against the New
Haven eleven But this was because
the opponents watched them like so
many hawks. They were the two men
that Yale feared most, and the Blue
eleven went into the struggles with the
orange and black and Crimson with
strict orders to watch these fleet half
backs.
Circling ends on skin tackle plays.

Illustration will be seen right and
wrong ways to grasp the cue. The
method 1 posed for to show the in
correct styles, as explained above, is
the one style one sees most often
when poorer players are trying to exc
cute shots and cannot understand why
the cue ball does not do their bidding.
For an ordinary shot one needs only
TO grasp the cue with the thumb and
first finger, the remaining fingers act
ing only as a sort of guide. If the
heel OF the hand is allowed to come
in contact with the cue the movement
not only becomes cramped and unnat-
ural, but the cue is made TO dip and
swing with the stroke, and the cue
ball not only loses its action, but is
often made to take an unnatural
course
Two Methods Shown
In the illustration above are pic
tured the two methods I use most
often in utilizing the cue hand Where
delicacy is required 1 grasp the cue
as lightly as a Matchmaker does
feather in cleaning a watch. For more
powerful drives I vary this by bring
ing the remaining fingers a trife
closer to the cue But at no time do
i ever Irvine them about the stick One
may have little trouble mastering
these details at first, but a week of
practice by the right way will open
up possibilities to the beginner that
