'AD STONE WINNER
 OVER BILLY SHADE
Philadelphia Fighting Marine Gets
 Referees Decision

New York, Dec. 22.--Ad Stone, the fighting marine of Philadelphia, out slugged and outpointed Billy Shade of California in the 12-round final at Madison Square garden last night and was awarded the decision. Stone had the better Of every round of the engagement and only Shades ability to take it" and still remain on his feet prevented knockout.
 Left Hook Working
 The Marines lightning left hook to the jaw and body and his left and right uppercuts to the wind and heart found their mark repeatedly and scarcely round passed that did not find Shade groggy and hanging on.
 During the first two or three rounds Shade was able to do some slight damage to the Marine, drawing blood from his nose and left cheek, but thereafter the terrific punching he had been receiving so weakened him that he was unable, to deliver blows of any strength. In the fourth round a series of rights and lefts to the body caused Shades knees to sag but he clutched his opponent and kept him self upright until he had recovered.
 This same experience came to Shade in the fifth, seventh, eighth, eleventh and twelfth rounds, on each occasion knockout appeared a matter of one solid punch but Stone could not seem to connect. Shade received q great hand in tribute to his gameness. The weights announced from the ring were: Stone. 1741s: Shade, t72.
 Preliminary Bouts
 The preliminary and semifinal bouts resulted as follows--
 Joe Stoessel. New York, (2s0 poundsD, defeated Charley Van, Chi cago us7 pounds). four rounds, de- cision.

Zehrer, Halfback, Elected Leader
 Of 1924 High School Footballers
Is Selected Over Johnny Grip Quarterback By One Vote
 At Meeting of Lettermen and Managers

High school football team, last night was honored by his fellow teammates by election as captain of the 1924 eleven. The race was between Half back Zehrer and Quarterback Johnny Grip and was q close one, the half back getting the election by one vote. Immediately after the announcement, the loser congratulated the captain elect and assured him of his loyal support next fall.
 Zehrer has established a wonder ful record while at high school. He has been playing on the squad since 1919. In that year he went out for the team and battled with men out weighing him from Is to 20 pounds. He was forced to accept a position Cn the second team. This itself was

 N|CKNAMES TOCLUBS
Very Few Fans KhO Can Tell
 Origin Of Team Names

Chicago, Dec. 22.--There arc few baseball fans in the country who can not tell offhand the nicknames of the various clubs in the two major leagues. However, there arc prob- ably fewer who can tell the origin of those nicknames.
 The New York club of the Ma tional league has always been called the Gaints. The name was applied back in the eighties, when none but large men were considered for the team. It has stuck, notwithstanding that Manager McGraw in recent years has had some comparatively small men on n,lb.. his team team.
 Cincinnati clings to the Reds, an abbreviated form of Red Stockings. which originated from the red stock ings worn by the famous old Cincin- nati team Of the late sixties, one of the first professional baseball organi- cations. Some sporting writers short ened the name to Red Legs and later to Reds.
 Pittsburgh Pirates.
 The Pittsburgh club got the name Pirates from Louisville with the transfer of the latter's players to Pittsburgh when the National league reduced from 12 to eight clubs. The name is said to have been first ap- piled to Louisville because of that clubs successful scramble for play CTS at the close of the Brotherhood war Of 1891.
 During the leadership Of the late Captain Adrian C. Anson the Chicago Nationals were known ss. Anson's Colts because the players. young and fast. often were referred to as being

ALL AMERICA DOES
 NOT MEAN So MUCH
Many Times Brilliant Players
 Are Overlooked

The college makes the football play CT far often more than the football star brings his college into national prominence. This truth is proved each fall when the experts starts making their annual All-America selections. There are 200 colleges in the United States who boast football team worthy of more than passing mention. On every eleven there is at least one outstanding star, yet only eleven men can be selected for q first All-Ameri- ca team.
 Under such existing conditions it is only natural that many star worthy of recognition will be overlooked in the shuttle. Invariably it is the small college star who gets the worst of the ratings.
 One of the best quarterbacks of the year is Richeson of Yale. Down at New Haven they insist he is the best quarterback that has directed Yale eleven since the days Of Tad Jones. Richeson came to Yale from Tulane university at New Orleans. Prior to his entry into eastern college football, Richeson had starred at Tulane, In all probability the Richeson Of Tulane was just as good d football player as the Richcson Of Yale. Yet Richcson. while at the southern institution. never broke into the headlines of the leading metropolitan dailies. However, the moment he entered Yale, and showed unusual ability. he began to be q much-talked-ab athlete.
 The world series game in baseball are no better than any other ball game played during the regular season, yet from a sporting spectacle they demand national attention and play to capacity crowds. IL is tho prominence of the event that attracts.
 
 The same truth holds good in foot ball When Yale meets Harvard or Princeton, the prominence of these in- stitutions make the event ono of na- tional importance. If certain player makes a remarkable showing in one of these big games he immediately becomes a nationwide hero because of the prominence given his deed. In q meeting between two small college teams, some certain player possessing unusual ability might star 10 even greater advantage than the big-game hero. yet have his efforts so practi- cally unnoticed.
 Afilstead of Yale Is rated as one or the greatest tackles of the year; he is sure to get much consideration as an All-American candidate. Mistead has been a rover He began his career at dear old Wabash. The little Indiana college always turns out great teams. While at Wabash Milstead no doubt performed as brilliantly as he has at Yale, yet Miistead Of Wabash would never have received tho columns of praise that has been slipped to Mill stead of Yale.
 In a majority Of eases or college makes for the prominence Of the player who possesses unusual ability. seldom is a small college star placed on a first All-Amcrira team. because in sense his identity is lost in his surroundings. That is one reason why most An-Americs selections arc not a fair rating of the country's best play CTS

AMERICAN LEAGlEl
 HAS POPULAR NAMES
Titles of Teams A Udes That
 Were DiscoYereLOng Ago

Chicago, Dec. 22.7lthough the American league did pt come into being until 1900 its obs have same Of the oldest and bes known nick names in major leagueasebally. The New York club is the,nly one that has definitely changed rom it's or- iginal nickname.
 Highlanders list
 When an American ague fran chise was granted to Nv York the club built a baseball pla, on Wash ington Heights, one of u high sec tions of the city. Fro the Ioca- tion of the grounds the nb became known as the Highlands. When the arrangement was rnadto play at the Polo Grounds, perforing under Coogans Bluff, Highlander became a misnomer. It occurred ) a New York sporting editor that ince the club was in the Americai league Yankees would be approprte and Yankees they became.
 Cleveland Indians
 Cleveland baseball clubs haa been known as Indians since the years that city was represented in te Ma tional league. The name was linked with the Forest City team, one the finest to represent Cleveland efore the days of organized baseball sld which was referred to as "the F. dians from the Forest City" Wha Napoleon Lajoie became manager q the club ths nickname became thu Maps, in his honor, but after his rel tirement the old name, Indians, was resumed.
 Irowns and Sox
 The St. Louis Americans derived their niclnane, Browns. from tho col- or of the stockings worn. They were Browns back in the days of the Am erican association when Charles A. Comeskey ofthc Chicago Americans was their manager,
 The Chicago White Sox arc suc- cessors of the original Chicago White stockings. The latter team was or ganized in 1sf0 to compete with the Cincinnati Red Stockings, and wore white stockings as q contrast and in opposition b the red-stockinged play CTS from Opeinnht.
 The Senators
 Most baseball teams that represent capital citts arc known as the Sem ators. Thel amc was first applied to the old Washington club Of the Na- tional leagpe, the name being linked with the idea that United States senator was regarded as an important parsonage. The name was picked up again wheh Washington entered the American lague, but was officially changed to Nationals in 1905. How ever, Senatos appears the more pop- lar name because to say Washington Nationals for an American league club is confusing 10 those not well informed on b,sebali.
 The Detroit Club
 The Detroit elub back in the Na- tional league was ono of the first to wear striped stockings. Theirs had an orange colored sripe similar 10 those worn by Princeton football and bsse- pail players and hence the nickname Tigers was applAd. In recent years some writers haSa been spelling it ''Tygers" in honor df Ty Cobb.
 The name Rcd Sex was given to the Boston Americans by John |. Taylor when he became president He got the idea Of shortening Red Stockings by

Glorious Fourth Was
Uneventful at Dawson
Baseball, Fishing and Picnic Parties
Featured the Day.

A uniformly quiet day was spent
by Dawsonians on the Fourth OF
July.
Two baseball games constituted en-
tertainment for great number, while
the American Legion swimming pool
came in for its share of patronage.
The creeks being too high none of the
local nimrods could snare many of the
fnny tribe, though quite a number
went out to try their luck.
Picnics and outings in the woods
were enjoyed by many, while some
spent the day at Cordray.
The county did not have the usual
barbecue for the convicts, but Warden
Marshall had an extra good dinner
for them and they were given holiday.
A number of visitors were in the
city and the merchants all closed their
stores, giving their clerks the day off.
The postofice also observed holiday
hours and the rural carriers did not
go out on their routes.
