 Despite the denia1s of St. Louis scribes that Johnny Tobin is going to be traded, we know that Huggins is after this star outhelder.. So it is not unlikely that the mite manager will call on Jimmy Burke, the Browns chief, and make him such an offer that 1t will not be turned H'own.

 If Hug falls in the Mound City, he undoubtedly will hop over to Wash ington and try to induce Clark Grif- fifth to part with Bobby Roth.

Even though the football seaseu is closed, writers all over the counrv still occasionally turn their thoughs to the gridiron game and those con- nected with it. Outside of general reviews of the achievements of vari- GUS teams the writers have nothing new to offer, but here is novel con trfbution which is a, tri1e late in ar irving.
 It is from the Los Angeles Times and is written by a critic who signs himself Kay Owe" Ordinarily this caption only applies to the box ing game, but 1t would seem that the title Is quite in order as the writer is endeavoring in his own way to hand Walter Camp. Yale football authority. knockout blow. Whether or not his words>wilI have any effect on the local maa's methods is matter of question, and it is quite doubtful, but nevertheess the ar+icIa is worth printing, if for,nothine e1so than to show some west~n b1noor.

HOW TO PICK AN An SDnD

By Kay Owe.

It looks like the ash heap for 1za1 ter Camp.
 Ever since the mind of mn FIJI. meth not to the contrary Camp has selected an a1I-Amer1can fotbaII team at the end of each season Tbi. team. has been given wide puticitv as the greatest eleven on cart for that particular year.
 Lately there have been douers

 have come out hat-footed and i'd
 that Walter Camps mythical eleveis

 fellows. As far as Walter Can, observation goes, his judgment probably o. K, but he only sees ton.
 At best Walter Camps selection l one mans opinion based on the bes 1 dope he can get hold of. | It remained for an automobile race driver of fame C1in Durant, to spring l the proper way of picking an aIl- l American team.
 Several years ago it was a pretty | hard proposition to pick the cham l pion race driver Of America Every | driver that won a race decided he 1 was the champion. Soon the A. A. A. took the matter up and settled the whole argument with a bang. There | were a certain number of races list ed each year as championship events. Points were awarded to various win
 ners. At the end of the season
 the man with the most points was
 the racing champion.
 Here's this particular drivers sug-
 gestion for handling the football sftz nation: Organize a national body
 which would be the American Foot | ball Association. The first
 under the national group would be the various intercollegiate confer
 ences throughout the country Then
 in each section where football iz 1 played a representative would be an- } pointed.
 This representative would have tabs on every player of note who takes part in conference game m : his territory. He would be expected : to obtain the most detailed inforr,1 ation as to gains, handling of the . ball, etc. This information would hs
 sent to the conference head. i, At the end of the season this con. l ference representative would submit l all information to the nationl bodv Here. after careful consideration of t all available material, an aIlAmer;. , can eleven would be selected. , The new plan is not waterproof

 It would certainly be interestingn see how a football team picked , r this manner would stack up with Camps.
