pastor of Second Baptist church,
TAViNG played ball a great
deal myself and having fol-
lowed closely the stars of
the national game, I think ! am
qualified to pick an all-star team
that would make a great showing
against any nine men.
In picking my team have placed
them in order as l would want
them to- bat were I managing the
team. My reason for putting
Speaker in left field is: He can
play that position in great style 1
consider him one of the greatest
outfelders, in the field or at bat,
in either of the major leagues.
would put iris at the head of the
batting order because he is sure to
reach first.
Cobb in center field and Jackson
in left field would make the garden
complete. Should Speaker reach
first, he is sure to be advanced by
Tyrus Raymond, who, in my opin-
ion, can take advantage of an error
quicker than any man playing
baseball
With Jackson the Maps star
slugger, batting next, it is very
likely some runs would be scored
in the first inning.
In my mind, there would be no
question of first base, as Hal
Chase is in a class by himself when
1t comes to holding down the mi
tial sack l would also make Chase
captain of the team, as he has the
confidence of all the players.
Has Great Infied.
Collins, second base; Baker. third
base, and Wagner, shortstop, with
Peerless Hal on the first cushion,
would make one of the fastest field
ing infelds ever seen on any dia-
mond, while they would all be able
to hit above the 800 mark.
For catchers, would pick Archer
and King. l consider Archer the
best throwing catcher the game
ever produced, while King is IA
nous for coaching the pitchers and
holding them down in the pinches.
My choice for pitchers would be
Johnson and Marquard. l consider
Johnson the best right handler be-
cause he can hold the batters help
less and almost make them knock
the ball where he wants it. l did
not pick Marquard because of his
recent record. l picked him be-
cause a man who has the ability to
stick in the big show and go
through with the knocking he did
and then make good must have the
real ability. You know the Lord
hates a gutter"
Connie Mack, the smartest man
ager in the game, would be put in
charge of the team, as he knows

PICTURES SHOW FIGHT
WAS WORST ON RECORD

DENVER. July 24.--Stung is the word
used by many who viewed the Johnson
Flynn fight pictures which are being the
worst ever reproduced in moving pictures.
They are even worse than the Jeffries-
Johnson films.
The fight, according to the pictures, was
the biggest bunk yet served to the public
At no time In the SO called fight did John
son extend himself. He simply played
with the Pueblo man, and. as far as hold
ing is concerned, that was part of his
method of stalling to try to help out the
pictures.
The pictures do not show many Incl
dents that ereally happened in the fight,
and seem to have been doctored up a bit
TO make it appear as though Flynn did
have a chance; but even after being
trimmed there is nothing to show that
could give Flynn the best of the bout
The negro held Flynn off with a left while
he nodded to friends seated at the ring
side, and some of the farcca cartoons
made before the fight would give out the
same idea of the Las Vegas tiasco as do
the bunk pictures.

Now, l have not only picked an

reason for putting each player on

unless you give him a chance to
display what he has? The direc-
tors Of the local baseball associa-
ton have figured the thing out just
this way and have decided to give
Alperman a trial He is the logical,
man for the job among the possible
candidates of the Cracker team as
1t stands today And it is surely
better to try out any prospects on
the team before chasing around all
over civilization looking for an
other manager
I f Alperman Is to make a go of
the new job he will have to
handle the Atlanta club with firm
hand-and, If need be, with a big
stick. The drinking of the club
must be stopped If it becomes nee
essary to fire a few men to achieve
this purpose.
drinking team has small
chance in any league In the
Southern. with its rather severe
climatic conditions, a drinking team
burns out in a few weeks.
1t Is up to Alperman to fire any
drunkards on the team and to re-
place them with men of better hab-
it's. Until this is done there will
never be any baseball played.
The directors of the local club
have handled a delicate situation
as well as it could possibly be
handled. They have demonstrated
that they mean business and that
they will back any manager up to
the limit With the authority they
have given Alperman he can go
ahead and clean up the Atlanta
team. If he does 1t the Crackers
may yet make a fairly good show
ing in the pennant race. The ma
terial is there. All it needs is prop
er handling.

Der Of the Iowa tax commission, has
Just completed the drafting Of bill,
which would radically change the
method Of assessment in this state
were it enacted into law, and which he
viii recommend at the next session Of
the committee.
Colonel McConlogue Is a lawyer and
has given long and careful considera-
ton to this bill. It provides for the
creation Of an assessor for the ntire
county. and. instead of it being an
elective Office It is appointive by the
board Of supervisors. To him is given
the power to examine under oath any
property owner or a man Of any inter-
eats, or any one connected that might
throw light on proper assessments. He
is to appoint his deputies to assist him
in this work but shall himself review
the work and eQualize wherever he
can.
The offices Of town and township as
SCISSORS would be abolished along with
boards Of review, but county board
of review. would be established, consist
ing Of the county treasurer. county
auditor and chairman Of board Of SUI
pervisors. The salary Of the county
assessor would be fixed according to
population and would range from 1000
to $4,000 per year.
