II Big Ten Football Men Have Been Picked by Walter Camp for
 All America Teams

Chicago. Jan. S1.--According to the records, Walter Camp, in all the years he. .has been picking mythical All-America football teams, has se- lected a total of A players from the Western Conference.
 Of these, Michigan has garnered the most, placing Is men. Chicago ranks next with eight, followed by Minnesota and Illinois with five each. Then came Indiana with four, Ohio State three and Wisconsin and Iowa two apiece.
 In the middle west also Notre Dame has been honored twice and Nebraska once. And from the far west California has gained a place on three occasions.
 Yale, of course. leads with S4 sc- lections. Harvard had 74 and Princeton 55. Pennsylvania is like wise well up the list with 38. Then comes Michigan.
 Cornell, despite the fact that it has been turning out stellar teams quite consistently, has put but ten players on the roll of honor. Dart mouth boasts the same number. Navy and Colgate have six.

ST. LOUIS HAVE BUT FEW CHANGES
Hickey Has Made No Outstand-
 ing Trades
By Tho Associated Prsss.

By Tho Associated Press.
 St. Louis, Jan. 3Lr-With no out standing trades made by Manager Branch Hickey to strengthen the hurling staff, the St. Louis Cardi- nals appear to be little stronger for this years National league drive than in 1924, when they finished in sixth place.
 The hitting of the team last sea- son was good and the fielding at least average. The pitching gener- ally was considered the weak link. Although several new hurling pros- poets are to receive tryouts, besides which Duster Mails, veteran south- paw. has been obtained from Oak land. the outlook as whole is un- certain in this respect.
 Of the vetcIan twirling talent, Dickerman and Sothcron pitchSl fairly good ball last season. Tive others who will be back are Hainas. Sherdel, Stuart and Dyer. Newcoul- CTS on the staff include Rhem, Day, Shields, ClouEi, Wigington and H,ll- lahan.
 Mike Gonzales. the Cuban. is ex- pected to do the bulk of the cay ch- ing this yeaI Others on the list are Niebergall and Clemens, with the team last season: Wick, reoilled from Louisville; Bool, from Fort Smith and Holm, if Hickey decides to use him behind the bat.
 The teams main strength lies about the infeld. with Bottom.ley tt first, Honsby at second, and Scooney at shortstop, considered as fixtures. Hornsh4 led the National league in hitting last year for the fifth conse- cutive time with an. avegage Of .42S, the highest mark in modern big league history Coonsy set new National league fielding mark for shprtstops, while Bottp,nley was reliable at bat and afield.,
 Third base is an open question with Frcigau. Lester BeA and Tot porcer, the bestectacled tnfielder, as leading candidates. Betl, who was recalled from Milwaukoe, seems to be the probable choice, because of his hitting power. He led the American Association last year with an average of 1865.
 Another problem for Hickey 10 solve is the outtleld. The Cardinals have enough outfieldelts on the ros- ter for two or three tolms, but their quality, with few exceptions, is problematical. Blades, Douthit, Ha- fey. Holm, Mueller. Myers, Shin- ners and Jack smilh. comprise the candidates.
 Smith is considared the pick Of the lot and almost certain to start in right, with Blades, the former in- fielder. in left. Cehterfield is uncer- tain, especially since Hickey may shift Holm, who ti;nished ill that po- sition in 1924, behind the bat.
 The Cardinals will train at Stock ton, Cal, where they will gather on or about FebruSry 22. A schedule of 27 exhibition games has been ar. ranged on the Pacific coast.

TOMMY CLAIMING
 WORLD'S TITLE
Gibbons Announces He's Through
 With Light HeaVieS
By The Associated Press.

by ne AsepNlul'h lNsS'
 Detroit, Jan. Sl.-rommy Gih- bons made definite claim to the worlds heavyweight boxing title fol- lowing his defeat of Tiny Jim" Herman here last night. He believes he is the man whose record entities him to the crown Jack Dempsey has not defended for more than a year and which the champion is declar- ing he will relinquish next May. In defense of his claim. Gibbons pro- poses he is ready to meet any logi- cal contender for the title, indicat- ing that he believed Harry Wills at the head of the list of men who might challenge his claim. He is ready to box Wills, he declared.
 In making claim to the heavy weight title, Gibbons also announc- ed he was out of the light heavy weight ranks and that he had with drawn forfeit moneys he had for merly posted for matches with some of the men in the light heavyweight> division. One of the funds drawn down was for meet ing with Gene Tunney.
 Gibbons decision 10 eliminate himself from the lighter division came at the end of his training for the Herman bout. In preparation for this go. as an experiment, he reduced as far as he thought desir- able and dried out" as much as possible. The result was 179 1-2 pounds. Some of ibbons' train CTS thought he had drawn too fine for a fight even against q man of Herman's class.
 Gibbons feels the experience of New York promoters, known to the New York boxing commission, in at tempting to get some of the heavier men into the ring with him for the bout in which he eventually met Kid" Norfolk is a part of the basis for championship claims.
 "I have been open to meet any of them in the past" Gibbons de- clared in making emphatic declara- ton that he was open to meet any logical heavyweight contender, and am open now 10 meet any men of the class who will get into the ring with me. Wills probably is in the lead for consideration for a match and l am ready 10 box him. Firpo and Jack Renault are other possi- bilities and I have been, and am. open to meet them.
 Tt is not crime 10 claim some- thing that is lying dormant, is it?" Gibbons commented, when asked if his introduction before the Herman fight as a claimant" of the heavy weight title meant he was picking up the crown Dempsey was abdicat- ing,
 T may never be champion of the world" was his parting shot after he had made it plain he did claim the title, but l want 10 tell you have five kiddies at home that are worlds champions all the time."

NEW ORLEANS, La. January T.
The cotton market started easier this
morning owing to disappointing Liver
pool cables. First trades showed
losses of TO points, and right after
the opening call March traded down
to o3.7S, May to 24.03 and July to
2410, or II to 1s points below yes
terday's close. No other reason for
the decline was assigned than the
lower cables than due. At the decline
there were indications of trade buy
ing and the expectation prevailed
that the market would do better
later In the session. The continued
strength of sterling exchange Is ex-
pected to stimulate exports. The
weather map showed no rain in the
