Mamie Adopts FaWn

A few days ago a herd of Angora
goats belonging w. A. Heather came,
into their pen in the afternoon as is
their habit, and with one of the mamie
goats, whose kid had died, was wee
mite of fawn that had been lost from
its mother. Evidently, when the little
spotted waif found the kind hearted
mamie, he was very hungry, and pro-
ceeded to suck his fill, and strong at
tachment for each other was at once
formed, and when the old mamie start
ed for the pens the little fawn follow
ed her. Mr.. Heather has brought both
in to his home in the city where he
could give them better care, and the
fawn is getting fat, and it is the cutest
a ID friskest deer in all New Mexico,
and its foster mother is just as proud
of the little fellow as she can be, and
is taking all the care possible to bring
him up. Silver City Enterprise.

ALL-AMER|CA TEAM
Picked by Taking Times Each
Man Was Selected.
FOUR UNANIMOUS CHOICE
Princeton Ranked as Best Eleven
in the Countrywide
Best End.
BY EDWARD r. BUSHNELL.

In these days it is not permissible for
a foot ball critic to dismiss the season
without having picked an all-American
team. Ever since Walter Camp started
this fad, about twenty years ago, his ex-
ample has been emulated by critics Of all
kinds and degrees of ability. The result
has been to almost swamp the sporting
pages of most newspapers with the print
ing of these selections for the first week
or two after the season closes.
The writer has always maintained that
no one individual is capable of making
fair selection of the eleven best players
in any section Of the country. AS mat
ter of fact. very few critics have an OPP
portunity to see half the players whom
they consider for positions in action.
Therefore they are obliged to pick the
team in accordance with the newspaper
regulations which the men have estab-
lished. Because Of the great interest
which the public manifests in the Sc
lection of the team, and in order to make
up one which would meet with the pos
sible criticism from the standpoints of
the biased and ignorant, the writer
evolved about five years ago a method Of
making UP a composite all-American
team. Instead Of attempting this unsat
isfactory, If not impossible, task him.
self the writer collected the individual Sc
lections Of twenty-five Of the leading
foot ball critics Of the east. These in
cluded foot ball writer's, coaches and Of
ficals. The effort was made to have
each section Of. this territory represented
by one or more selections. 1t certainly
stands to reason that a man who has not
seen a certain individual play foot ball Is
not in a position either to put him on or
keep him off an all-American team which
is supposed to include the eleven best
men In the country.
The composite team was made up by
using each selection as one ballot. and
then from the twenty-five votes thus
cast taking the eleven who received ma
jOrity and naming them as the all-East-
ern term. The writer has once more
made a collection Of these individual Sc
lections, and after a careful compilation
the following eleven men have been
named

NEW YORK. December 11-Plainer and

ger of the Yankees becoming. The noise
Of the west indicates nothing else. ana
following are some lines that came from
Oakland, Cal:

Walters from Chicago to the effect that
he is going back to New York, but FOR
what purpose Wolverton deemed IL ad-
visable to keep to himself. He will be
gone longer than he expected. Harry
prolonged absence will keep the Oakland
fans in an awful suspense
while Wolverton is silent it is sur
missed that he is going back to nave

turn to New York makes it certain that
the Oakland leader is the man sought by
New York for manager. Several other
candidates. along with Wolverton. We're
mentioned in connection with the position.
but through process of elimination
Wolverton is alone in the field. The only
hitch is that he has signed a contract to
manage the Oakland club next season
Wolverton was bit hasty in affiXlng his
signature.
1T is not likely that the Oakland club
will impede his progress. Wolverton has
served the club faithfully and conscien-
ticusly during the two years he has been
at the head Wolverton has made base
ball a paying proposition across the bay.
Before his advent into the league the
Oakland club was very much in debt.
when Harry manages the New York
Americans he will want free rein.
Wolverton is not the person to play
second fiddle to anybody. He believes.
and he is right, that a manager must
have full SWAY or else he cannot achieve
results Owners OF the Horace Fogel
type will never have a successful mana
ger. as they are always interfering and
endeavoring to tell what should be done.
when Wolverton took hold of the Oak
land club he did so with the understand
ing that he was to boss the whole works,
and everything worked to perfection
under his regime. Wolverton is a level
headed chap and he thinks twice before
he acts.
