j. C. Anderson, ga Eighth

neither McGraw nor Ruth has
selected the happiest combine

has substituted his own idea of
the correct all-star team for
either of theirs.
His letter to Skillet" Finn, Esq.
follows:
By j. C. ANDERSON.
I am sending my idea for an all
American team, which believe
would be better than either Ruth's
or McGraw's teams, for your
approval.
Jameson Gndians), left field;
Roush Red's), center field: Ruth
Vankee's), right field; Judge Sen

second base; Wright Pirate's),

base; Bassler CTiger's), catcher;
Johnson (Senators). pitcher; Vance

Jameson goes without saying in
left field because Jameson is hit.

Of them. OF course, Roush, Of Gin.
cinnati, gets center field. And who
could leave the Babe" off any all.
American team? Judge, Of the
Senators. gets the call for first base
because he il one Of the best field
ing first basemen in either league
and is hitting above 800. There is
no need to talk about second as
Hornsby goes there without saying.
Shortstop Is quite hard to decide,
but am going to give Wright. Of
the Pirates, first call because Of his
sensational fielding and hitting. I
am going to- put Frisch, Of the
Giants, on third over Dugan, be.
cause he Is faster than Dugan and
hitting much better. think
Frisch would make a better man
for third than Dugan.
The catching gives me another
hard job. I believe Ruel is the best
backstop in either league, but / am
giving Basslere the preference be-
cause Of his hitting. Now for the
pitchers. johnson and Vance gets
the call there by a large majority
Vance having won twenty-five
games and lost only four Johnson
winning twenty-five and losing six.
Now I am asking you what do
you think Of my selection?
''SkiIlet' thinks Anderson has
collected q mighty fast bunch Of
baseball material, especially I'm
view of the fact that he has I've.

SURE Of HER
SEATS
Walter Insists on Two OF
Best in Park for World
Series
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 22.-Walter
Johnson, regarded as the most valu-
able player In the American League
and certain to pitch the opening
game Of the approaching world Sc
ries for the Washington club, has
made demand, not a request, upon
President Clark c. Griffith, for two
seats for the big series.
II don't ask these seats for my
SELF" said johnson last night in
st. Louis II want them for Mrs.
johnson. Furthermore, / don't want
just ordinary seats, either. I want
two of the best seats in the park Z"
President Griffith was breathless
a moment. but quickly recovered his
composure.
Don't worry, Walter" he said.
Eddie Eynon will fix you up. He
probably has planned this already"
That's all right about probably"
replied the Washington hurting ace,
but that won't satisfy me IL don't
get two seats among the best. AS
said. / won't need them for my
self. but insist that my wife have
two of the best seats in the park"
Washington fans failing to get
tnelr IaVOflte seats may well re-
fleet upon the strange case of Wal
ter Johnson, who will pitch the
first game for Washington in the
coming world series, demanding
seats for his wife. Nevertheless,
this is absolutely true. This writer
heard every word spoken by John
son and President Griffith in the
Hotel Buckingham, st. Louis, last
night.
1t is a good bet, though, that
Eddie Eynon will see that Mrs.
Walter Johnson won't have to sit
in the bleachers the day her big
husband marches out to oppose the
National League champions next
month. But Johnson won't take
anything but the best and told his
boss that in 90 many words.

For Dazzy Vance was once a
