NOTED CONDITIONER OF ATH- LETES LOUD IN HIS PRAISE FOR THE HARVARD STAR PERFORMER

"The greatest football player of all conditioner of athletes, of Charlie Brickley, Harvard's plunging halfback. and goal kicker, whose great work went long ways toward giving liar yard the 1912 championship.
 Just consider what such praise means, remembering Heffelhnger, Hinckey, Poe, Trenchard, Heston. Coy. Daily and other giants of the gridiron.
 Fame is a mirage. but somehow men of Homeric deeds such as make foot ball immortals never are forgotten, and Brickley's memory will be kept green when he has turned to dust
 1t would be difficult to recall more stupendous exhibition of football might than Brickley gave in this years Har- yard Princeton game-a game he won by slashing through the Tiger line until the ball was within kicking distance and then kicking goal-he did this three times, one place kick being from the AS yard line.
 Old timers who have seen every biz game for the last 20 years declare that Brickleys boot from tho As yard line was the greatest kick made since foos- ball became an Intercollegiate sport Then, too, in the game against Yale the brilliancy of Brickley's goal kick ing and running outshone that of all his mates.
 This Brickley boy has been playing with football since he was years old and that was l5 years ago Upon his sixth birthday his fath< tossed him Ian oval Charlie was disappointed bs- cause he wanted nice red express wagon.

New York, December 3.-Among Ma ional league teams Chicago profted most by lack of control of opposing pitchers during the 1912 season, according to re- ords of bases on balls and strikeouts issued today at National league head quarters. The Chicago team received $50 bases on balls, an average of SeS ger game. Cincinnati had the least num- Der of strikeouts or 4e2, an average of c.l7 per game. New York finished sec ond in both items, receiving 514 passes and having 497 strikeouts.

will be lowing to new kingi of ban tams.
 Last of a famous quartet who began fighting in San Francisco about the same time Abe Attell is the only one of the four who did not go down fighting to the last. The others were Eddie Hanlon, Frankie Nell and Jimmy Britt. And 1t re- mained for Attell, for years the feather weight champion, the incomparable boxer, to quit cold when hard pressed
 Attells action in refusing 10 finish his eight round bout against Ollie Kirk in St Louis can but add another black mark to the already long list now credited against him. Abe explained at the end of the sixth that he is no longer as good as he once was and that he would never light again. But then Abe had been paid sse0 in advance, and 1t was up to him to go through the eight rounds or take a smash on the Jaw and fake knockout.
 Though recognized for years as the featherweight> champion, Attell never really won the title. Dixon lost 1t to McGovern. And Terry was licked by Young Corbett at 126 pounds. All this time Abe was claiming the title at 122 ringside but as long as Corbett was content to mingie with the feathers At tells talk brought him nothing. Thcn Corbett deserted tine feathers for the lightweights and soon the public recog- nized Abe as the champion.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-12-04

Abe Attell lost the featherweight cham pionship to Johnny Kilbane, and before the year was out he was forced to ac- knowledge a second rater like Ollie Kirk as his master and to retire forever from the ring Not only that, but the once clever Abe did not finish the fight, but walked from the ring after the sixth round of an eight stanza mill
 Then Lightweight Champion Ad Vol gast was dethroned by Willie Rtchie, following an appendicitis operation. There were warnings in his case, however, for Jose Rivers gave him terrific battle, and he was licked by Joe Mandot in mo- decision contest.
 Johnny Conlon, for so many years the king pin among the bantams, seems slat- ed to be toppled over the first time he stacks up against a really good boy in long fight. The clever little Chi cagoan was sadly and badly whipped by Kid Williams. who was a novice, a year ago. He lost no title, however. as it was a no-decision contest. Then Johnny went into a long siege of training and engaged Charley Goldman. admittedly a third rate scrapper. And the best he got from the papers was a draw. So 1t does begin to appear that pretty soon the country

 season. He admits that his own fellows had it on the field by some sort of mar gin. but says that second place ought to be given to Sewanee without a doubt. He says that Sewanee was better both offenslvely and defensively than either Auburn or Georgia and in the general ranking he places the Alabamians ahead of the Crackers. He says that Auburn was put out of 1t by her hard game with Vanderbilt and intimates that Van derbilt would have had an awful hard rub with Sewanee had it not been for Hardages being unable to play during the heat of the game with Auburn and had not Shea been fresh for the Sewanee encounter as relief for Collins.
 Georgia has doubtless improved very much since her game with Vanderbilt. he said, but I think Auburn would have surely defeated her had she had the same chance for condition and that Se- vance, at the time she played Wander bilt, had an edge on both of them at any time during the year.

MIDWINTER DOPE

It is reported that the Mobile club has purchased a new steel grandstand and will erectsit at Monroe Park in time to take care of the crowds for the opening games in the spring. The fact that Mike Finn produced a winning organization last season has evidently helped much toward putting baseball on a strong finan- cial basis in Mobile. The Gull manager has the nucleus of a good team fer la coming season and it would not be sur prising to see Mobile again in the running when the 1913 pennant race begins to narrow down next spring.
 Up in the International league last season number of ex-southern leaguers made em set up and take notice when tt came to swinging the stick. One of the prominent sluggers of that organization was Harry Swaeina, an erstwhile 'iull. He batted 317, lining out more bingles than any other performer in the league, Of these 30 were doubles, 15 triples. and one was a home run. Jakey Atz, formerly with Charlie Franks Pelicans, elouted .25l in l55 games Frank Smith, the Ior- mer Baron slab artist, hit PAT for the season.
 
 CT Is that the veteran Cub shortstop will stay out of baseball next season. Tinker, dissatisfied with his position on the Chi eago team wants to become manager or the Cincinnati Reds Johnny EVers, however, could not see it that way and Tinker has declined to play. He proposes to remain in vaudeville during next sum mer It is said that jealousy between Tinker and Evers had much to do with the present tangled situation surrounding the veteran star.
 Clark Griffith confirms the deer-klllins yarn. It will be remembered that the foxy manager was recently reported to have slain a large buck barehanded when on a recent hunting trip. His gun re- fused to work and Griffith relying upon the power and control of his good right wing siezed stone and felled the beast, He has many evidences, fortifying the story including photograph of the 'edgc upon which the deer was killed. When IL comes to spinning the Diamond Dick yarns. Griffith has a considerable shade eyen on our old friend Opie Dildoeke

CHARLIE BRICKLEY GREATEST PIG SKIN ARTIST OF FEM ALL
CHARLIE BRICKLEY RECKONED
 GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIMES

Kick that football; if you kick 1t often enough and hard enough, my boy. maybe some day you'l see your name in the papers," said Brickley pere.
 So Charlie kicked and kicked, until 1912 finds him heralded as the greatest drop kicker that ever lived. It was hl5 toe that whirled the ball over the bar for the only score in the Harvard Dartmouth game The same toe booted Harvard to victory for the first time In a quarter of century over Prince ton, and in every Harvard game ths fall Briekley has kicked himself into the score.
 He has kicked 10 goals and made |. touehdowns. a record no other halfbaek has ever approached.
 Brickley, with his wonderful toe, great speed. fine dodging and terrific line plunging. is a terror to opponents. He stands five feet ten and weighs 1S5. When bueking the line he charges like a locomotive.
 But he is better ball player than a football player and he likes baseball best. He likes baseball because 1t re- quires more science and makes players think.
 Brickley was one of the American Olympic team. his specially being the hop step and jump, at which he Is regular kangaroo. Asa member of the Harvard varsity nc fedtlkeS an amDi- ton of years. While in high school and later at Exeter he praetieed drop kicking for seven years that he might help Harvard defeat Yale Always this object was before him while he was perfectng his marvellous kicking. | In addition to being a great athlete, Brickley Is a splendid student He wns second in his class at Exeter and Harvard scholarship was his reward. He is working his way through the university. doing odd jobs. and he says he is dam proud of it."
 This young giant, who looks like Jim Jeffrles when the Los Angeles giant came east to defeat Bob Fitzsimmons, says his motto is to keep plugging until he Is perfect as possible and then try to do better After he gradu- ates 1t Is probable that Brickley will become a ball player. He Is a likely candidate for the varsity nine now.
