EAST MEETS WEST
ON GRIDlRON TODAY
By the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO. December 26.-
Foot ball elevens of the East and West
meet here today in contest put on
by the Shriners as a benefit for the
Hospital for Crippled Children. 1t will
be a clash of stars. as both teams
number some of the greatest players
in the country.
The Eastern aggregation. which ar
rived Wednesday. completed its work
outs yesterday. and all but one of the
players were in good condition. The
exception was Davis, University Of
West Virginia tackle, who injured his
ankle during practice last Thursday.
The Fasteners are captained by Bill
Ingram, former Navy star quarter.
back.
The all-Western eleven rounded into
form this week under the impetus of
several days hard practice. Buck
I;ailey is captain, and rated as one OF
the greatest guards ever to appear on
Pacific Coast gridirons. Bailey is a
former Texas a. & NJ. star. but
played with the San Francisco Olympic
Club this year. All of the men are in
first-class shape.
Ideal foot ball weather. with clear
sky and slightly crisp atmosphere, was
promised today.

realized them now after four of their
men had advanced because Rossma n
was helpless when he held the ball
with runner adva ncins. I decided
that night we We're through.
Cleveland Makes BIunder.
Then came an astounding sequel:
/ Cleveland never again tried to take
advantage Of the Rossman weakness.
and because they did not they lost the
pennant in 1908. The cha ampionship
was decided on the last day Of the sea
son. Cleveland had cha nee to win
IL that day. They were even with us
in the closest penna Mt race in history.
Had they followed up their advantage
and run wild on Rossman, they could
have beaten us several more games in
1903 and to win the pennant Cleveland
had to take only one more game from
us. To this day / cannot understand
why Cleveland never tried it after that
one game. There were intelligent bal
players on the Cleveland club, several
of them. But they pulled the most
colossal blunder of their careers that
season.
The following year we sold Ira
Thomas to Philadelphia. He had been
one of our catchers. Thomas knew
the RoSsman fault and when Thomas
left our midst it marked the beginning
of Rossman's end. for Thomas tipped
off the Philadelphia team on Detroit s
weakness and Philadelphia took ad-
vantage Of 1t in the first series they
played against us. AS soon as a bat
ter reached first he walked off the
bag. The pitcher threw to Rossman n
and Rossman eithef refused to throw
or tossed the ball into the outfield.
Philadelphia swept the series because
they caused the complete collapse of
Rossman.

which into French has stumped the
French sporting writer's in a campaign
to- eliminate the English vocabulary

The best they have been able to find

Lie fldtteF OF transportation meant
everything to the minor leagues at the
time that the National Association was
formed and probably little more than
everything prior to that time. Cir
cults could hardly not be arranged in
early days because there was no way
to get from one city to another. except
by using trains which ran with irreg-
ularity and so slowly that the expense
of travel was out of all proportion to
the expenses of the club in other ways
Trolley Proves Big Aid.
And then. blessed day, came the
/ trolley. Folks in big towns never
heard much about trolley leagues, but
folks away out in the West, and the
Southwest. and even in the South
knew about them. The trolley was the
connecting link that made minor
league base ball successful where it
never had been successful before, as
clubs could be transported from one
town to another at comparatively
small expense, where it had cost so
much in days previous to the trolley
that more than one man with local
pride and an itch for local attention
had gone broke because he backed the
ball club of the town.
The trolley league was one of the
biggest aids to the development of

got the boys interested in localities
where they had not been interested be-
fore, and the moment that these
youngsters got base ball fever they
were eager to join clubs and enter into
competition for championships in their
neighborhood. All that was bread and
meat for the minor leagues, which had
opened up vein of richness in the
player line that they had never before
possessed.
On the heels of the trolley came the
automobile and then the omnibus au-
tomobile, and transportation was bet
tered beyond the good that had fallen
upon base ball by the perfection of the
| trolley.
The automobile was quicker and
easier means of conveyance than the
| trolley because it's starting time could
| be made to suit the convenience of it's
| passengers. and whether it were nee
esSary to leave early or late there was
| comfortable time in which to do it and
| the players could be carried at an ex.
pense which was within the reach of
those who were promoters of minor

In some States they call them bus

Coming up to one green, Ben found
himself with a very long putt which
he must sink to win the hole.
He considered the play with the
utmost care and finally welded his
putter SO skillfully as to produce a
really wonderful putt. The ball
traversed a rather tortuous path, de.
scribing various curves, and finally
headed for the cup.

His statement is as follows:
u. Has foot ball become too
popular?
Twenty FIVE years ago foot ball
was on trial because of abuses by
rlavers and coaches. This condi-
ton has been corrected and today
the sportsmanship of the coaches
2 nd PLAYERS has been the subject of
favorabl comment by a great many
editors.
Later there was a great deal of
souahbling among the colleges, due
Ia the fact that there were no uni
form eligibility rules. Today this
condition has been improved by the
formation of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association and some 80
conferences These organizations
have not only drawn up eligibility
rules hut have done a great deal of
develop a spirit of respect for the
rules
Foot bah was criticized soma
years ago because of the physical
hazards to the players. The rules
were accordingly changed and the
game vastly improved.
To-day the chief charge against
foot ball is made on the grounds of
he popularity of the game. The
students. alumni and general public
enjoy the games, as judged by at
tendance figures. This raises the
question as to whether the students
and others made better use of their
leisure time before the days of foot
ball than they do now when they
attend the games.
-. Is athletic interest antasonistic
to scolastiC interest.
Undoubtedly. a great many people
believe that a nation that is inter-
ested in athletic sports cannot at the
same time be interested in art, philos-
Ophy and scientific investigations. 1t
is quite certain that Greece led the
world in intellectual pursuits at the
same time that she led in athletic
sports.
The question is whether today such
athletic nations as the United States
and Great Britain are contributing
as much along intellectual lines as
such non athletic nations as China,
Russia. France or Spain. If II is true
that in the colleges the tail wags the
dog another question is presented
viz. whether we would help the dog
by cutting off its tail or whether
something constructive should be
done for the animal.
''S. If an amateur sport is conduct
ed at a profit, does this necessarily
mean that the sport has become pro-
fessionalized?
apparently the majority of the
editors who have written about the
modern trend of college foot ball be-

NEW YORK, December 26.-Has
the paid coach of an amateur foot ball
eleven an amateur standing?
The Southern conference has de-
cided that he has and now the
Olympic Club of San Francisco has
made a similar decision. ruling that
any coach who succombs to the lure
of gold offered by the pro game may
not coach the clubs amateur players.
Coach Orin E. (Babe) Hollinberry,
mentor of the fast winged eleven,
which swept everything before tim
Guiding both Stanford and California
this year, must decide whether or not
to continue as paid coach of the club s
amateur foot ballers, or definitely to
line up with the professional game
which is making an invasion of the

its advent in the East.
