the Moose smoker Thanksgiving
night In place of Al Palzer.
Officials of the Moose Athletic
club declare that Fagan's record
is even better than Palzer's, al
though, of course, he is not so
well known In this country. The
fact that Pagan came direct from
Australia to the Northwest TO
meet Tom Crowler, and that both
Cowler and Palzer refused to
meet him, is sufficient proof that
the stranger is some boxer. Bonds
is visibly worried, because he has
no dope by which to Judge Pagan,

Tacoma boy will have to go some

BY Hugh s. Fullerton.

Thinking to get some light on
the question of the relative
strength Of eastern and western
football teams this season l made
inquiry of Is officials who have
worked in the games played by
the biggest teams. Instead of
being enlightened l am more puz-
zled than ever.
Strangely enough the eastern
referees and umpires who have
not seen western teams are in
clined to rate the western teams
much higher than those who have
seen them rate them and the
western officials have the same
idea of eastern teams.
OF those who have seen both
cart and west in action, not one
will claim superiority for the
teams of either section. Perhaps
the best analysis was given by
one who says Michigan, on its
Penn form, could beat Harvard,
and Harvard on It's Princeton
form could beat Michigan.
The odd thing is that many
regard Notre Dame as the strong
est western team, and declare it
badly coached in many respects.
Chicago is picked as the best
coached team, but suffering from
hard luck in injuries.
The most amazing thing is that
four experts inform me that they
believe yarmouth, which fell
hard in crucial games, is really
the strongest team in the entire
country. / asked each man to
whom / wrote to tell me his opin-
ion. pledging secrecy-and Dart
mouth has the call in the east,
with Michigan and Chicago in the
west, tied with one more vote
than Illinois got, although some
of these votes we're made before
the Chicago-Illinois game.
The picking of Stages team by

DARTMOUTH CALLED BEST TEAM
IN COUNTRY BY EXPERTS VOTE

many brings to mind that Chi
cago's fate this season is the sad
dest feature of the year. Coach
Stagg had the best material he
has had In ten years; developed
perhaps the best team he has had
since Kennedy led the Maroons.
The team suffered from persistent
hard luck In injuries and has
teen badly crippled. 1t was its i'll
luck to have to tackle Illinois
just when the Illinois was strong
est and Chicago, perhaps, near its
weakest.
Stage is bitterly disappointed
coach this fall. To fail with good
material after winning for years
with mediocre material is the
luck Of the game. Stages health
Is wretched and the hard work
this fall has given him another
setback.

laws. President Madison, of the
Kansas City Federals, claims to
have purchased the services Of
these two players for the coming
season. Fitzgerald was regarded
as the best hitter on the Frisco
lineup last year he played In the
outfleld.
Walter Schmidt was one of the
best catchers in the Pacific Coast
league. If organized baseball
loses the services of these two
players 1t will be felt keenly, as
both are young and promising
men. Schmidt is of big league
caliber and would have gone into
the big brush long ago had 1t not
been for the fact that local mag
mates were unwilling to weaken
their team by releasing him. At
present the doughty catcher is
playing with the Imperial Valley
Winter league, but II it is true
that he has jumped to the Fed
erals he will be forced to quit the
Valley league and will be forever
blacklisted by organized baseball.
Fitzgerald has already seen big
league service with the New York
Americans, where he played q
couple of years. He later
