Camps Selection Widely Dif-
 fers from the Composite
 Eleven in Many Instances.
By ED DANFoRTH, Sporting Editor Atlanta Georgian.

Atlanta, Ga. December 21.-(Spe cial)-The rattle of musketry has broken out along the line; sharp shooters are picking off Walter Camps all-American stars; they are falling like cartridges before the deadly aim of Rooney" Moore.
 Walter tagged several mighty good players and also he discovered" others. It is said in some circles that his work as scout Is second only to his undeniably profound knowledge of the game.
 Where mere opinions clash, noth- ing Is decided. It must be left to third opinion as to which opinion is the better. But sharp comparisons may be noted with fear of being called down by the chairman.
 The Composite
 Let us compare composite all American eleven with the Camp pro- nouncement.

BIRMINGHAM DOG. FINISHES SECOND
 IN ALL-AGE STAKE
E. J. Rowe'S Doughboy Sec ond Only to Famous Becky Broom Hill, the
 Winner

Letohatchie. December 21.-Becky Broom Hill, the famous pointer be- longing to Louis Lee Haggin of Lex ington, Ky, won the all-age stake of the southern field trials which was decided here today.
 Tn making this win. Becky Broom Hill scored her third first" in less than ten days. Last week in the con - tinental trials she won high in both stakes held by that club.
 Second place in the southern trials was won by the pointer Doughboy. owned by F. J. Rowe of Birmingham. and third place was divided between the pointers, Ferris Jake and Co., manche Rap. The former belonging to c. E. Griffith of Yale, Okla, and the latter to William Zeigler, Jr., of New York
 There were 24 starters In the stake and some very interesting heats were run. Becky Broom Hill did not run her usual first series heat. As mat ter of fact. she was rather fortunate to be called back in the finals. But when she was put down for the sec ond time she ran not only up to her best form but she handled her game to perfection.
 The heat between Comanche Rap. the New York pointer, and Ferris Jake. who hailed all the way from Oklahoma, was also most interest ing one, in the second series. They found and handled birds but in mat ter of range they were most diffi- cult to handle. Both of them were inclined to be rather wild and unruly at times. Otherwise they might have headed the famous Lexington pointer which has been winning with such persistent regularity this season.

MAT CHAMP EXPECTS HARD
 BATTLE FROM THE HINDU

B. A. c. to keep in the nest of shape for what he believes will be one of the hardest battles of his career, which covers a span of nearly 20 hard years in the game. Aside from work ing out in the gym, the champ has also been doing road work, and he announces that he is counting on be- ing in the best shape of his career when he enters the ring tonight. This alone should be enough to convince anyone that the champion is expect ing a real tussle from the far east grappler.
 Zbyszko is not only expecting a hard battle with the big man from India, but if statistics mean anything he will get hard scrap. The champ is considered the strongest man in the wrestling game today, but even conceding this to be true he will be well matched in strength by the oriental giant. Gobar picks up 100- pound weight and puts 1t above his head with one arm with about the same ease as an average man would do the same thing with flat iron.
 He is not only a superb man phys ieally in his arms and shoulders, but he is also the owner of a very Noi thy pdlT or lFllDteS. Ills plan or leg development has been a unique one, but he has evidently got ten the best results from his method as he Is the owner or one of the best pairs of legs in the wrestling game today He has a collar which weighs 160 pounds. so whenever he wants to exercise his legs he puts on this collar and runs up and down a stair way few times. Gobar is sure that he will he able to throw the cham pion tonight. but whether he wins O. not he is sure to give Zbyszko a ter. rible battle.
 The two contestants seem 70 be just about evenly matched in physical makeup. The champion will weigh 22S pounds, while Gobar should weigh about 235. The Hindu is six feet in height while his opponent is slightly over five feet nine Gobar has youth in his favor, but on the other hand the champ has experience
 There has not been a good wres- ting match in Birmingham for some time, and from the advance seat sale it looks like the fans of this city are hungry to see a good match. Taking everything into consideration. t; looks like tonight's card should be a hair-raiser. The preliminaries be- gin at S:30 o'clock.

COMPOSITE ALL-AMERICAN
 PICKED BY 267 COACHES

their particular sections were secured and the composite carefully made up, the World says.
 The composite first eleven follows (three other elevens being given): End-Muller, California.
 Tackle-Huffman Ohio State. Guard-Keck, Princeton.
 Center-Stein, Pittsburg.
 Guard-Schwab. Lafayette. TackIe-McMillan California. End-Anderson, Notre Dame. Quarter-McMilIin, Centre. Halfback-A. Devine, Iowa. -Killinger. Penn State. Fullback-Powell. oregon Aggies.
 Coaches View
 This eleven represents the opinion of their own coaches and the opinion of coaches who saw them play. The voting was close in many cases, the World explained. which accounted for the shifting of Devine to halfback in order to make way for McMillin with his heavy quarterback vote.
 Wide Variation Comparing this eleven with the first Camp team, we find:
 Four composites were placed on the Camps.
 Brown of Harvard and Stein of Washington and Jefferson are real finds; neither appears on any of the four elevens compiled by the World. Wick of Michigan appears on the third composite. Mcclure of Chicago, Roberts of Centre and Aldrich of Yale appear on the second composite. Kaw of Cornell is down on the third composite in a halfback position.

TEN BIG LEAGUE
 STARS INVOLVED IN BASEBALL DEAL
Two Big Trades Completed, Involving Many Major
 League Stars

New York, December 21-reu major league baseball players. several of them in that select eoterie known as stars were affiliated with new clubs today as the result of two big aeals consummated last night.
 The most important trade was that which sends Roger Peckinpaugh. cap tain and shortstop of the Yankees, and three of his teammates, Rip Col lins, Jack Quinn and Bill Piercy. all pitchers to the Boston Red Sox, in exchange for Everett Scott. shortstop. and Pitchers Joe Bush and Sam Jones.
 Another Deal
 In the other deal "Stuny" McIn- nis, Red Sox first baseman, was sent 10 Cleveland in exchange for Elmer Smith, hard hitting right fielder, George Burns, first baseman. and Joe Harris, another first sacker. who is to be converted into an outhelder. liar ris is under suspension for having jumped his reserve clause to join the oil City (Pa) outlaws" and he figures In the trade on condition that he can win reinstatement If he fails to get back into the fold. it is under stood the Red Sox will get Doc John ston, another first baseman.
 In announcing the Yankee Red Sox
 
 of the New York club, made no men ton of any financial consideration.
 Transfer of Peckinpaugh by the but baseball writers reported that a substantial sum was paid to the Red Sox club.
 New York club revived rumors cur rent last season that coterie of New York players, said to be headed by Babe" Ruth, organized a movement to put the shortstop in Huggins place as manager. During one of the Yankees western trips last summer HugginS was taken i'll and Peckin- paugh assummed command. The team then proceeded to win game aft CT game. showing a complete reversal of form. This seemed to give i'm petus to the Pecknpaugh boom but Colonel Ruppert was staunch in his support of Huggins and the Peckin- paugh movement was dispelled. Re gently there were reports that Clark Griffith. owner of the Washington club. was impressed with Peckin- paugh's managerial ability, and that a deal would soon be arranged to per init the Yankee shortstop to take the reins of the capital club.

 Frazee gets four men from the Yankees on the deal. Roger PeckinpauRh, Roy Collins. Jack Quinn and BIn Piercy go to the He'd SOa.
 Roger was captain of the Yan kees, but was by no means cap tain of his destiny, or he would never have gone to Boston.
 Rip Collins Is known as "Two Gun Collins" by virtue of the fact that he carries couple of six-shOoters with him all the time. All the artillery was dis played by the opposing bats men while Rip was pitching for the Ynnks. however.
 Bill Piercy has one claim to fame, if he never gets another. He was fined and suspended by Judge Bandis along with Babe Ruth for having committed the same offense-that of barn storming.
 McInnes went over to Cleve- land and Frazee got three play CTS from the Indians for this one man. Burns. first baseman, is one of the boys; Elmer Smith, outfielder. Is another, and Joe Harris Is still another. The lat ter, who used to flag throws for the Chattanooga club of the Southern league, Is on the i'm eligible list for jumping.
 
 If Harris fails to get rein stated 1t is understod Cleveland will send Doc Johnston along to Boston. With such performer as McInnes on the squad, Cleve- land would have no further use

Lead Pencils Are
Seeking New Wood
For Their Dress
Try Associntcd Pressl

Washington, Sept. 27-Where do
all the lead pencils come from and
where do they go? Although al
most everybody has one, many folk
never buy one, but even 50, more
than 75O,O0O,OOO are manufactured
for use in the United States every
year, using up many thousands OF
cords of wood.
But woods suitable for lead pen
ellis are becoming scarcer and many
manufacturers are turning to paper.
Red cedar and red juniper, says the
American Forestry Association are
the woods chiefly used in making
lead pencils. A hunt is on for other
kinds of wood that will take the place
of these. In East Africa a. kind of
cedar has been found with which ex-
periments are being made. The pro-
duction in the United States is about
10000 cases Of pencil Stats per year.
From each case 100 gross of pencils
is made. This results in about one
billion pencils of American grown
cedar. Since one fourth of this num-
Der is sent to foreign countries that
leaves 75O,OOO,OOO pencils for the
home market, which means an av-
erage of seven pencils per person
figuring on the last census.
AS far back as history goes man
has tried to make things to mark
with and to set down his thoughts.
The Axtecs and thePharaohs had
crude marking devices. As early as
1850 Kahn, a Swedish naturalist,
made experiments with American ce-
dar. In 1872 William Monroe made
800 pencils at Concord and sold them
in Boston but the war stopped his
plans. In 1861 Eberhard Faber be-
gan making pencils on a large scale
in this country.
The graphite which makes the
mark is of course the important part
in the manufacture of the pencil.
Ceylon has furnished much of the
graphite used in this country. Ora
pbite is also found in Madagascar
and in Mexico. Czechoslovakia con-
tains deposits of both the amphor-
orus and crystalline graphite. In the
United States the chief deposits are
in Alabama, New York and Pennsyl-
vania.
