BILLY EVANS SAYS

Picking a major league all-star. all
time team is merely a matter OF in
dividual opinion.
Any fan who is student OF the
game, and who has seen the players
lii action, is as well qualified to make
q selection as some star player,
manager, umpire or writer.
Recently. John McGraw. unques-
tionably one of the greatest leaders
in the history of the game, made an
all-star selection. 1t seems that Nc
Graw's team has stirred up more
arguments among the fans than any
Of the other crack aggregations that
have been selected.
McGraw passed IN Lajoic as a
regular. selecting him for the utility
inficld role. He didn't even mention
Iris Speaker. While he handed
Mathewson much praise that was just
ly deserved. he made no remarks at
all about Mordecai Brown.
Every fan has his own peculiar
ideas about the stars of the game.
While Ldjoic and Brown have passed
from the majors, the memory of their
play is still fresh in the minds of
many a fan. Speaker. conceded to be
one of the greatest fieldcrs of all time,
has thousands of admirers who re-
gard him as the last word in out
fielding.
a. NJ
Graw were spread broadcast | have
received scores Of letters taking to
task the Judgment Of the New York
manager in his all-star selection.
"Where does McGraw get that stuff
about Mathewson being without
peer writes one fan. Surely Me-
Graw must remember Mordccai
(Three- Fingered) Brown.
"If he has so short a memory |
suggest that he look over the pitching
duels that took place between 'Matty'
and Brownie in which the Chicago
twirler Invariably emerged the vic
tor.
81 want TO serve notice on the OK
perts who pick an all-star team that
il they leave Three Fingered Brown
off same they will have me on their
back
Another fan who is evidently
great admirer of Lajoie. writes
"Lajoie, in his prime. could play
second base better with one hand
than any player | have ever seen ut
that position could with two. An
all-star team without Larry would
be like Hamlet without the melan-
choly Dane"
Leaving Speaker off an all-star
team is like having Christmas
tree without any presents. Where
do the experts get that stuff and
how do they get that way" pens an
admirer Of Speaker.
All OF which gets us back to the
opening paragraph. in which it was
snid, picking an all-time, all-star team
was merely a matter of individual
opinion. II is impossible to have the
world agree with you.

There are many adverse features
about overly long intersectional jour

is undoubtedly inspiring.

from No. 6 tee. Cyril Walker, the

was extraordinary, but even more

Birmingham has stuck care away on the old top shelf for a week. at least, and old and young alike of it's citizenry are having the biggest time of their lives this week at Ninth avenue and Twenty-fourth street, north, where Boyd and Linderman shows are exhibiting" said Capt. Harry E. Smith of Service Mems club under whose auspices the attractions came to own.
 The shows came here on two spe- cial trains. Crowds were large Mon day night, throughout Tuesday and Tuesday night, and Captain smith stated that a big amount of money to turn into the service Mems club for outfitting club rooms at the old post office building was assured.
 All attractions are said to be clean and wholesome. Some thrilling rides have been brought along to entertain the youngsters of Birmingham. Quite an array of odd and strange freaks, a galaxy of wild beasts and trained animals have been brought along, and in spite of the cool weather the Div ing Venuses are hitting the water regularly. Free acts and two big bans furnish free recreation for those in attendance, and the midway is veri- table fairyland of flare and tinsel.

THE FOO[ TO STAY ENTIRE WEEK HERE
PolIock'S Great Play Has Scored Tremendous
 Success

When the Selwyns present their production of Charming Pollock's great play, "The Fool" at the Jeff ferson for the entire week beginning Monday, October 22, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday, theatrego- CTS vii req. ze that it is something different omething entirely new. and something daring-because of it's radical departure from anything at- tempted, heretofore, in the theatre. Few dramatists would care to under take the development of a theme that is as intricate as "The Fool" It re- quired a man of conviction, foresight and determination. These qualities Mir. Pollock possesses. He never falters, once he has made up his mind. He fought for wat he believed was right and success has been his re- ward. The sensation that "The Fool' has created everywhere is due to the manner in which the author has taken hold of this powerful theme, dealing with modern social problems of capital, labor and religion, putting a punch of the solar pleXus variety into. his play at every opening; grap- bling with capital and then with la bor until religion triumphs over both in the sense that success is never truly earned without the brother hood of man entering fully into the bargaining.
 very strong cast is necessary to give full expression to this eXtraordi- nary play and a company of well selected actors and actresses will pre- sent the dramatic masterpiece at the Jefferson.
