Euers Has Hard Job As Manager
 or Chicago Cubs
By JAMES J. coRBErT

Johnny Evers assumes the manage ment of the Chicago Cubs with fandom wishing him all the luck in the world. ball are more popular than the peppery veteran who got his big league start back in 1902. From that time on, for nearly 15 years Evers was one of the playing stars of the baseball firma- ment Scrappy to an extreme, imbued with the never say die" spirit, and withal one of the greatest mechanical athletes that ever stepped on to diamond, Evers has been both spectacular and a picturesque figure in baseball history.
 There was general regret in baseball circles when Evers passed out of the s'big time' few seasons ago. It was felt by many that he might never come back-that his passing meant an ir- reparable loss to the game. For Evers lent color to baseball and his very con- nection with the game helped to glorify it.
 Many things have made Evers popu- lar. One of the contributing factors is that he has risen supreme in every
  tainly has had more than his share of it.
 HARD LUCK
 Twice during his career his savings have been swept away through unfor- tunate investments. But Evers never whimpered, never murmured-just con- tinued to smile. He was sick for long time, injured in an automobile &C., cident and if memory serves correctly, some members of his immediate family were killed in such an accident. But no one ever heard Johnny Evers com plain; no one ever saw him wave the white flag of defeat; no one ever found him other than cheerful and optimistic. Evers had an earlier chance as pilot of the Cubs. But it was in a year when baseball was in bad way. And it was in season when the material which he had to work with foredoomed Evers to defeat. His team finished third that year-1913-which was fair enough at that. But, it suited Charles Murphy, Cub owner, none at all. and Evers was supplanted as leader by Hank O'Day and soon afterwards was traded to the Braves.
 HELPS BRAVES
 It was the brilliant work of Trojan Johnny with the Braves of 1s14-his iHoPiiihS " ulCil 7uclpco the Braves so materially in achieving a pennantS and then annexing a worlds championship in four straight.
 Evers takes the Cub team in 1921 with many difficulties confronting him. The team he falls heir to is, in the main. a veteran one. Beyond Charlie Ho1locher there isn't a sprightly or youthful man in his infeld. Merke. Herzog and Deal are old timers. So is Dode Paskert, outfielder. Bill Killffer, mainstay of the backstopping depart ment is fading a little. too.
 Maybe Evers will try to go along with the present Cub team. The chances are that he won't. If not. that means many trades. And that will mark the first test of Evers' leadership. He'll encounter many more before the sea son really gets under, way. But those who know Evers-those who watched his work as field man. ager of the 1920 Giants-feel supreme ly confident he will come through" with hurrah in 1921-and establish himself on as loftly a pinnacle as he did as field performer

BUCK FLOWERS STAR
 OF 1920 GRID SEASON

Coming to the quarterback position, we have no doubt of our choice meeting with the approval of everybody. If Buck" Flowers is not the star of the 1920 southern football season, we would like to know who is. Flowers is the best backfield man of his weight ever saw and say that after watching his work in three games this year and last. Flowers game against Auburn makes the exploits of Dick Merriwell and all the other dime novel heroes seem tame in comparison.
 Flowers has peer as speed
 artist, is easfI- the coolest quarter
 in the south. is the best broken
 field in these parts, can tackle
 like an end, can punt with anybody
 and plays with his head ns we'll as
 his feet.
 Second only to Flowers is Red Barron, who at times drew the major portion of the spotlight on himself Barron is the most powerful halfback in the south, is fast as lightning, hits the line low and hard and can make in terference in way to delight every coach

STEPHENSON BEST
 BACK IN THE SOUTH

DAMN IN l. C OOO II
 Stephenson of Alabama played proba- ply the most consistent all-round game of any football player in the south and was easily the best fullback Without him Alabama would have been beaten by Vanderbilt. smothered by Georgia, pushed to death by Mississip- pi A. x M., and given close battle by Sewanee. During the l.. S. U. game Scott took Stephenson out in the third quarter and the Louisiana boys played the Crimson to a standstill.
 If ever there was n One-man team,
 it was Alabama this year. Len0ir.
 Sessions and Clements played great
 games. but minus Stephenson
 the ''Thin Red Line" would have
 had bad year.. Stephenson is the
 most accurate passer on forward
 passes in the south, holds his feet
 better than any backfield man I
 have seen. uses his arms better
 while carrying the ball. hits the
 line like a ton of brick and backs
 up the forwards better than any-
 body in the south. Stephenson is
 ono brilliant star who doesn't play -~ b the "srandstands.. A great of
 fensive star. he never saves himself
 out of defensive work. Stephenson
 is fairly fast and a fine broken
 field runner and can play equally
 well at half, where I have shifted him to make room for sNurling.
 Mullie Lenoir of Ala bana really be- longs on the all-s6uthern. but his lack of weight, a handicap on defense and in making interference, stands in his way. As an offensive star Lenoir had no superior. Cheeves of Georgia plays much the same game as does Lenoir, though not quite as progressively, Coughlin of Sewanee, on a weak team, shone brilliantly. while Klindworth of A. & M, Ferst of Tech. Blair of Ten nessee, Kuhn of Vanderbilt. Benoit of L. s. U., Dwyer of Tulane.
 Brinnskelle of Birminsham-
 Southern and Walker of Howard
 played wonderful ball.
 STIRLING TOO GOOD
 TO BE LEFT OFF
 Ed Shirling is too good line plung CT and defensive man to leave off our team. Shirling plays an entirely diff ferent game from Stephenson. and it is not fair to compare the two. Shirling runs very high, hits the line without a wiggle and by sheer power beats his way down the field. Auburn owes lots to Shirling this year. He was as much to Auburn's backfield as Stephenson was to Alabama's. Judy Harlan Is good, but Shirlfng gets the call.
 I have, of course. not considered Centre college. Virginia Military in- stitute. or any other of the distant teams who do not play in this territory.

 The guards are very hard to pick. To begin with it's hard to get a line on what guard is doing in game. You will find more differences of opin- ion as to the guards than on any 'ther position Fine guards were much more prevalent, however, than tackles or ends. There may have been better guards in the south this year than Few of Georgia and Lebey of Tech, but doubt it. Sizemore of Auburn looked like the star guard of the south Tn some games. Welchel of Georgia sew eral times outshone his mate, Pew Ca tackle whom I think would make better guard).
 I shifted Tram" Sessions to guard for he is far too valuable q man to be left out of consideration. Sessions put up a great game at center and, though not as powerful as the giant Lebey Of Tech, would make practically as good a guard Lebey and Pew, however. have all the advantage in experience at this position.
 Capt Sid Johnston of Alabama, Baker of Vanderbilt Minyard and Huff of A. & M, and Satterlee of Sewanee proved towers of strength to their re- spective lines. Sizemore's work at cer- tain times was brilliant, more pee ldCuIdr than that or any BudI Iu. CATION PLAYED OVER
 AIMS OF GEORGIA TECH
 In all the argument that ensued after last football season as to which vas the best center, Day or Sessions, few mentioned the candidate that has this year established himself as the best pivot man, in Dixie. I refer to Caton of Auburn.
 If there ever was a doubt as to
 Caton's ability it removed
 when he played over the mighty
 Amis of Tech, and got n shade the
 best of the argument with Day of
 Georgia. CatOn is an accurate
 passer, he charges well. blocks to !, perfection md tackles harder for
 his weight than any center in the
 south. In addition he follows the
 ball nt all times and. though not
 so fast under punts Sessions I so powerful Day, is the best all-
 round man for the place.
 This trio of centers was in a class by itself this season. but there's going to be lots of "stove-league" as. to which is the best. Amis was easily fourth best.

SPORTING NOTES.

The prospect of playing football yee- terday was pretty slim as old mother goose was pluclzing her feathers all day Thursday and turned the campus into a young mud hole. Of course rubber boots and rubber suits could be handed out to the team but who would like to be tackled and rolled in the mCd We'll, anyway, the Academy Warriors will get a chance to tackle the Vocational School, Saturday if Mother Goose doesn't repeat her performance of yesterday.
 It looks as if the proposed bowling league that is under way will be a success and will afford lovers of bowling some real interest in indoor sports for the coming winter. The only team that is not heard from is Baltic which will no doubt come into the league. This league ought to create lot of interest and give the fans chance to witness some real snappy matches. Promoters behind this league are confident that the league will be a success and some close matches will be rolled.
 Soccer football fans in Tafeville were disappointed yesterday in not seeing the game between the local team and Brad ford as you all know it showed or tried to snow and spoiled the prospects of see ing real lively contest.
 After forming a bowling league why not try forming. a basketball league l among the same towns. Norwich has { team to represent them, so has Taftville Plainfeid, Jewett City and; Baltic, pos ] sibly Willimantic would be asked to b.
 the sixth team.
 The recently organized Crescent A. C
 of Norwich will no doubt open their sea
 son and make their debut next week a Olympic hall. A well picked team ha
 been chosen to, represent the city an Manager Benott has arranged top note
 schedule which should please the fans.
