NAME KETCHAM
 FOR YALE CAPTAIN
FOOTBALL SQUAD ELECTS ALL AMERICAN CENTER BUT AVERY GETS SOME
 VOTES.

New Haven, Dec. 4.-Henry Ho1- man Ketcham, regarded during the fall as the logical choice for the cap taincy of the Yale football eleven for next season, was last night elected leader of the team by the twenty three players who were in at least part of the Yale games against liar ward and Princeton. Ketcham's elec- ton was announced as unanimous, but rumors were current that Ben Avery, right end, received several votes. Avery is captain of the Yale wrestling team.
 Ketchann has played two full sea- sons as regular centre rush. No other member of the eleven who will be in college next fall was regular last year. Avery and Bill Warren, tackle. were substitutes.
 The election was held in the trophy room of the gymnasium and Captain Jesse Spalding presided. He thanked the players for their efforts this sea- son and they round4y cheered the re- tiring captain, who later entertained them at the University Club.
 Ketcham has clearly earned the captaincy by his brilliant play during the fall. His home is in Brooklyn and he came to Yale from the Poly Prep School.
 The choice of a centre rush as captain at Yale has not been made since 1888, when "Pa@ tCorbin, now Tax Commissioner of Connecticut, felt against the position, but fortune has given the allotment of captaincy honors to players of other places.
 Ketcham declined to discuss the coaching system and said he had not formed any plans for next season.

CAMERON EXPECTS
 TO HAVE STRONGER
 TEAM IN NEW HAVEN

Down at the Sea View Hotel Owner George M Cameron of the New Ha- ben baseball team, champions of 1912, is busily engaged daily in an effort to
 build up his team for next season in hope of bringing another pennant to the Elm City. Since Cameron lost Reisig1 and Flick by draft, and sold Jensen to prevent a draft. the mag nate realized that he was facing a ment in allowing Cough and Dasch- bach to drift, and these cogs will have to be filled by better stickers. Cam eron has been in communication with Southern league clubs as we'll as American Association clubs and has been promised real ball players that should shine in this league.
 There has been considera ble gossip to the effect that Cameron purposes to sell his club but he stoutly denies this. He is not in the best of health. but he has no desire to give up the team after such a successful season, or the city where he has. esta blished a growing business and where bis cir cle of acquaintances and friends is constantly widening and growing stronger.
 "You know as well as I do," he said --that have a hard task ahead of me. I sold Daschbach and Cough because I am sure that better all=around mem can be secured to fill their berths. When Flick was taken out of my grasp, it left a gap hard, very hard, to fill. Flick was the best second baseman that ever performed here and I am sure that his position will be the hardest to fill. Outhelders are comparatively easier to get, while

 Matchnlakers of the Acorn A c. went to New York today to land some headIiner who will box with Al Ketch- el at the clubs show here Dec. 19. The winner of the Young Shugrue-Johnny Lore contest which takes place Decem- Der in New York, may be secured There is also a possibility of Harlem Tommy Murphy coming here. The club promoters tried to get Battling Nelson but he demanded so much money that the Acorn boys are still suffering from the shock. Dave F4tz- gerald of New Haven has been engas- ed to act as referee and Harry Quinn, will be timekeper The members of the Harry P. Quinn Marching and Chowder club will attend in a. body if they can grab enough free tickets
 The Oakland and Rosebud football teams have arranged to play at New teams are old rivals and have been calling each other names in the papers for several weeks. The Oaklands claim the 115 pound championship of the city after beating the Arrows Thanksgiving day but the Rosebuds dispute the claim of the oaaxlanos. It should be a warm game
 Boxing fans are displaying great interest In the bout between Mike c4fh-- bons and Eddie McGoorty In New York tonight. The conditions of the match call for 15S pounds ringstde but it is said that Gibbons will not weigh more than 150 when he enters the ring. Gibbons has the speed and, Mcloorty has the punch, so the light ought to be a hummer. It is booked to go ten rounds. 5 .s-

of Wolgast's retrogression- If he is successful against Burns. Rivers and Mandot will be next in order. Both of these men have given WO1gast hard battles. Both are full of ambition to win the title, while Wogast, soured by his recent defeat and his confidence shaken, is not likely to do as well as in his first meeting with them
 Billy Nolan's threat not to allow Ritchie to box for a year to come is probably no idle jest. The man who earned for himself the sobriquet of iron jaw is not likely to allow the pleadings of ehailengers to turn him aside from gathering all the so-called easy money in sight on the stage. But it is just possible that the public may become tired of a champion who only spars in exhibitions, and the engage mentS may peter out
 Ritchie starts his championship ca- reer most popular boxer. It will be unfortunate if he allows his head strong manager to involve him in transactions that will tend to discredit him in the eyes of ring followers. It will be recalled that it was Nolan who, when manager of Battling NeI- son, made himself obnoxious to the miners at Goldfeld by his unfair de- rnands regarding the conditions of tn @ Gans-Nelson bout Since that event Nolan's standing in the sporting world has not been of the highest

HARRY COSTELLO WILL
 BE GEORGETOWN CAPTAIN

Washington, D. C., Dec. 4--Now that the successful football season at Georgetown is finished the talk of who will be the next captain has already started.
 At the present time it is understood that eighteen men will receive their ''G"- The ruling at the Hilltop in re- gard to winning a "G'' is that man must either play in the Virginia game or he must play in fifty of the halves. If this rule is to be followed, which is certain, then the following men will receive their letter at meeting of the executive committee at the beginnin g of the week: Captain Hegarty. Bergen. Barron, Mullaney. Petritz. Ritch, Mor- iarity, White, Heiskel1, Donnelly, Mar tin, Costello. Calman. Fury. Kelley. Murray Foley and Dunn. There is some talk also of Derby and Campaz- ger receiving their "G'' also.
 With these two men receiving their letters. Harry Costello. who for the past three years has played fine foot ball for Georgetown, will be unani- mously elected captain. Every man on the squad believes that the honor is due Costello. and for that reason he will get the captaincy of the 1913 football team. The election will take place early next week.

CHICAGO AMERICANS TO
 BE FRANK CHANGES GUESTS

Tradition, baseball history and all other kinds of former stunts are to be upset by c. Albert Comiskey and his band of Chicago White Sox pennant chasers during their spring training. Right off the reel Conniskey will risk the wrath of Garry Hermann and his associates and international complica- tions by sojourning with Frank Chance at his California orange plantation
 While the visit to Chance will not constitute all of the White Sox spring training, the outfit will spend enough time on the Chance ranch to become mer rival in Windy City baseball af- fairs.
 Comiskey has turned down the offer of Riverside, Cal, to entertain his team for it's spring training Paso RobIes was Comiskey's first choice and he will stick to his decision The visit of pr. W. w RobIee to Chicago. for the purpose of getting the Sox to train at Riverside, came too late and the best Riverside can hope for is an exhibition game.
 we will go to Paso RobIes,n. said the Old Roman. CT decided on that place and there is where we will do our training. But as soon as we get the allxaH off our uniforms we are going out to G1endora to visit Frank Chance. Frank can put on one of our uniforms or wear one of his own but he will work out with us just the same.

RITCHIE TO PICK
 UP EASY MONEY ON
 STAGE FOR 6 MONTHS

According to Billy Nolan, who is manager of the new lightweight cham pion, Willie Ritchie, it will be at least six months and probably year be- fore Ritchie gives Wolgast a return match Meanwhile Wolgast will be 9 very busy boxer, and by the time 9 year is up, some folk say, Wolgast may not be in a position to demand a match. Losing a title, it is claim ed, never did improve boxers ring work It will be no surprise if Joe Rivers and Joe Mandot duplicate Ritchie's feat and send WolgaSt fur ther to the rear.
 In all probability WoIgast's next battle will be with Frankie Burns whom he knocked out when the for mer champion was at his best. If they come together the bout should the means of showing the extent

There is nothing he cannot do. He hits the line about twice as hard as Coy did. He kicks better in every respect and he is far more cunning and capable of worming his way through a scattered field There never was a man who knew more of fol- lowing interference and breaking away from it at just the proper mo- rnent to his best advantage.

REPORT CAMEL
 AS NEXT MANAGER
 OF N. Y. YANKEES

Rochester Dec 4-There was sre- port in baseball circles here yesterday that Manager John Ganzel of the Rochester International league team VIII be the next pilot of the New York HiEhIandens. A man prominent in the baseball world is authority for the whereof he speaks.
 According to the story circulated here, President Farrell of Che High flanders has made Ganzel an offer to manage the New York team, and Gan gel, 1t is said. will accept. Friends of Ganzei say he is ambitious to return .pacaity, and it is known he would not be averse to seeing what he could do with the Highlandere
 Camel has made g brilliant reputa- charge of the Rochester club. He made a new International League rec nants, and though he was practically compelled to build up new club last season. he finished second, after lead ing the race the greater part of the season.
 GanzeI has shown himself to be a team builder as well as a shrewd advantage than last year after he had lost Moeller. Mcconnell, Foster, Simmons, McMillian and Lelivelt, yet always kept his team in the thick of the fight
 Ganzei would not be a newcomer among big league managers. as sev- eral years ago ne p1lOCeQ the C1nc1n- nati Reds Before tackling the Cincin- nati job Ganzel was FarrelI'S first baseman and captain. He played. with the Highlanders in 1903 and 1904,
 Since coming to Rochester Ganzel has been friendly with the owner of the Highlanders and most of the High landers' surplus talent has been sent here. Farrell also has been recruit ing his team from the Rochesters, and in the last two years GanzeE let him have Mcconnell, Simmons, McMilIan aD6 T<aIiva1t
 Frank Farrell was called on the telephone last night and asked whether there was any truth in the csanzei story. There is no truth in The story said Farrell, "and I do not know where it could have origin s&ed Before I signed Woiverton last ,-ear there were persistent rumors that rsznzel would be signed I denied at that time that GanzeI would come Fere and I deny it again. Neither do beIietve that GanzeI has any ex- rectation Of coming here.
 T still have a few months in which b select aF manager, and intend to take my time about deciding who will pe Wolverton's successor. My team needs a capable man now, and when do decide on a manager it will only be after the most careful thought"

Walter Camp, considered the great est football authority of the country, and certainly the most venerated coach and critic eyeP developed to the glory of old Yale. has selected the All American football teams for the sea- son of 1912. Camps selections are universally regarded as the most de- iiberately unbiased of all authorities competent of passing judgment on the relative merits of the candidates from colleges throughout the country.
 Eight different colleges are repre- sented on Camps first team. All the great colleges of the East are in line for this most f1attering distinction Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Carlisle, Dartm m0uth, Pennsylvania and Brown. Wisconsin represents the great Mid de Western conference, while for the first time in years Hurry Up'' Yost's Michigan aggregation takes back seat.
 Harvard, as champion of the East, is honored with three places. Brick1ey, the hafback, Felton, the wonderful bunting end, and Guard Pennock from the trio Bomeisler, at end, and Ket- cham at centre, furnish Yales con- frfbutions.
 Jim Thorpe, the wonderful Carlisle Indian, and Mercer, of Pennsylvania constitute. with Brickley, the back field. with the cunning Crowther, Of Brown, at quarterback to direct them Logan, of Princeton, gets the other guard position Camps. tackles are Englehorn, of Dartmouth and Butler of Wisconsin.
