One Recent Selection.
news dispatch was sent out from
New York giving an ail-American team.
Here is the selection:
Cobb. center field: Schultz, right field !:
Jackson, left field: Merkle, first base
Collins. second base: Wagner. shortstop:
Baker, third base; Thomas and Myers,
catchers: Walsh, Mathewson, Johnson
and Alexander, pitchers.
We can't see how Fred Merkle ever
looms up as a star of stars at FIRST base
even in the mind of the biased New York
er. Ed konetchy. Hal Chase. Frank
Chance and Jack McInnis are certainly
better first sackers than Merkle and there
may be few others. Merkle is good
first baseman, but il is ridiculous 10 put
him above Hal Chase or even class him
with the peerless young Californian.
Bad Guess at Short.
There are some other selections that
we can't see" looking at il from any
| angle. At short. for instance. the Amer
lean League had three players this year
who put up better game than Wagner.
IL We can believe the experts who habitate
| those cities where they see both National
and American leaguers perform. Jack
Barry, George Mcbride and DOME Bush
are all said TO be the superior of Wag-
ner. although the bow-legsed and broad
shouldered Teuton had something on any
one OF the trio when he was at his prime.
but this selection is not for all time; il
speaks only of the present.
Harry Lord, in our opinion, is a better
third baseman than Frank Baker. despite
Bakers wonderful work in the world
for work done in a series that is played
after the regular season closes. On the
seasons showing Lord had 1t over Baker.
|. Here's Another One.
The selection of backstops and the
pitching staff is lacking. We would name
as an All-American team:
| First baseball Chase.
| Second base-Eddie Collins.
| Shortstop-Donie Bush.
| Third base-Harry Lord.
| Right field-Frank Schultz.
Center field-Ty Cobb.
| Left field-Joe jackson.
| Pitchers-Coombs, Rucker Mathew son
| Gregg, johnson, Walsh, Alexander and
l. Bender
| Catchers-Stanage, Doom. Bresnahar
and Mclean.
But it is all a matter of opinion and
| the difference Is the answer to why no,
an Ali-American base ball team?

BASE BALL WILL NEVER HAVE
ITS ALL-AMERICAN TEAM
Extended Difference of Opinion Makes l,
Impossible to Secure Recognized
Selection Dispute Each Season.

Base ball viii probably never have an
All-America team
In foot ball there Is a phantom eleven
Walter Camp, dean OF foot hall experts.
each season picks eleven men considered
the best at their positions. Mr. Camps
selc tions make up the AllAmerica team.
The patrons of the college game have
/ learned 10 accept Mr. Camps selection as
I final. The highest honor a foot ball play
er can receive is 10 be named on that
team. Few criticisms are heard, for Mr..
Camp possesses rare knowledge of the
game and also employs tact and dipiO-
macy in his annual selection.
A similar condition could not be brought
about in base ball Seasons will come
and seasons will go. and each will bring
unending disputes. regarding individual
and team merit.
One of the popular maya zines recently
offered umpire in the big leagues "a
sum OF money that was large for literary
work. This coin was to be his pay for
selecting an All-America base hall team.
| The umpire wired back:
Gould not comply with your request
for 5000 or even $1,000 =

who at each position. but he also knew
! that more than a million persons In the
/ United States had their own idea on who 8
| Gus conflict of opinions. His future on
| the diamond would he burden if he
made the selection
/, To show what would be the result of an
umpire selecting an All-American base
ball team, this field judge recalled an
! incident that happened to him one day
last summer He was umpiring series
| in Philadelphia. A base ball writer en-
gagged him in conversation The umpire
/ happened to drop a remark that in his
/ opinion Oscar StaDage of the Tigers was
by far the best catcher in base ball and
that he would be willing to wager that
/ the game never produced q better one
than the Detroit star.
Trouble Starts.
Next DAY the base ball writer printed
/ the interview and credited the umpire
with the statement regarding Stanage
and his place among the stars of the
game
| Chicago was playing in Philadelphia
that day. Billy Sullivan was catching for
| the White Sox. Billy, slowed up by ad-
vancing years. sickness and having lost
the power of his throwing arm, is today
| a little more than a shadow of his former
self. and at one time Billy was the peer
| of the American League backstops.
AS this umpire walked behind Sullivan
in the first inning Billy piped:
/ so you think Stanage the best catcher
| in TIL. business. eh?''
The umpire, having forgotten the pub
lished interview. did not respond.
Umpire in Bad.
Sullivan repeated the question, this
! time turning to the umpire

bition of moving pictures of the 1911 con-
tests, thereby advancing the interest oil
the players as we'll as clubs.

New York players are informed that the
notice from President Lynch to their

the worlds series moving picture pro-

statement tells of how the commission
entered into a contract with moving

sideration Of $3.50, which money when
received was duly credited 10 the gen

The statement continues that during
the progress OF that series the commits

TO require the players of each contesting
team 10 pose for group picture. In

a. 9 NJ. College Cleo cIub concert.


Last evening at the Colonial theater
the Glee Club of A. & NJ. college ap-
peared in their annual concert. The
club was ably assisted by Cadet
Lake, Mrs. Ehlinger and the A. & NJ.
orchestra.
The concert was a highly ~creditable
entertainment and was thoroughly en-
joyed by a large numDer of music
lovers. The cluD, composed of twenty
four young men, rendered a number
of selections in a most pleasing way.
One of the best numbers was The
Rosary" Cadet Lake delighted the
audience with a cornet solo and Mrs.
Ehlinger, who gave a reading, dis
played extraordinary dramatic talent.
Mrs. Ehlinger has had much expert
ence in amateur theatricals and once
played the leading woman in a sum-
mer stock engagement. This she did
in order to perfect herself in the de-
tails of the art so as to enable her to
assist more creditably in home talent
benefits.
The Glee Club, as a whole, Is a we'll
balanced aggregation; the program
was carefully planned and the per
Torrance showed the results of care
full training and assiduous practice.
1t was remarkably free from the crud-
tiles which generally mar the beauty
of home talent performances.

"Paid in Full"

Eugene Walters four-act play of
modern American life, Paid in Full"
which has been such a success for
over five months in Chicago and two
seasons in New York, will be given
for the first time in this city On next
Tuesday night, March Z. The story of
paid in Full' is said to be virile, APP
pealing and distinctly original, and to
be unfolded by a set of characters
that are types of real life, familiar to
everyone, and full of human interest.
The scenes of the play are laid in New
York, and the plot tells Of the strug-
giles of a young married couple who
live and keep up appearances on a
small income. The husband, who is a
weak character, rather than submit to
the modification of poverty, steals
from his employer, and, when his theft
is discovered, for his own protection
is willing to sacrifice his wife. Her
innate goodness saves him and V
herself. A production in keeping with
the artistic requirement of the play Is
promised.
