FIRST BASEBALL
"ALL-AMERICAN''

Picking an All-American baseball
team for the colleges Is about the
toughest job, Les Gage, sports editor
of College Humor, ever wants to
tie into. Its the first time 1t has
been DONE" according to Gage whose
selections appear In the August issue
of the magazine, land l know there
are going to be q lot of 'squaks' from
the favorite son rooters. If anyone
had told me it was going to be n
as difficult to establish The ranking
players for the various positions, as
1t actually proved to be, 1 never
would have attempted to set the
precedent for yearly selection of
bat swingers.
First Time Out
mo wonder no one ever tried 1t
before. They had some sense. And
yet our national sport was the only
one that had never been recognized
as furnishing material for a col
lege selection. Yet the undergrad
goes out for baseball, prompted for
the most part, by the secret hope
that he will catch the eye of scout
for the majors and get a chance to
crash the big time.
You KNOW Gage concluded,
'I've had the cooperation of the
coaches, newspaper critics and sports
writer's and think these nominations
represent the best choice that could
be made, anyway here they are:

the Cards were on the short end of
a 1911 score. The Cards held an IL

Schmeling and his manager, Joe
Jacobs. told of their plans for the
September battle, at Jersey City
Philadelphia or Chicago, in an ex-
elusive interview with the United
Press to-day. They are scheduled
for a conference with President w.
r.. Carey of Madison Square Gar
den and Damon Runyan, represent
Ing the New York milk fund, which
will share in the promotion of the
September bout, sometime before
Schmeling sails for Germany at
midnight to-day.
One or the Other
Jacobs revealed that although the
champions contract with the Gar
den calls for O. bout with Camera,
ner of the Sharkey- Walker match,
scheduled at Brooklyn late this
month, may be substituted.
II understand Camera has not
fulfilled some of the requirements Of
his contract" Jacobs said. There
IL possibility that the Sharkey-
Walker winner may be substituted.
We don't care. The main thing that
interests us is to get the best OPP
ponent."
In Something's estimation, that
"best opponent" would be either
Sharkey or Camera. He believes
either of them would give him n
harder battle than young Stribling
did in his first defense of the
crown. The German. incidentally,
thinks that his 15-round technical
Knockout over Stribling is proof
that he is champion of the world in
reality as we'll as in name.
From Mans Angle
The German listed Sharkey first
in the heavyweight ratings he gave
the United Press, with Camera sec
ond.
Sharkey. he said, was "a good
boxer and dangerous but does not
hit hard enough to beat me-"
Camera he characterized as for
midable because of his size and
punching ability but lacking in the
boxing skill and ability to take pun
ishment necessary for champion"
He ranks the other heavyweights
in the following order: Stribling,
Tommy Loughran, Mickey Walker,
Vittorio Campolo, Pauline Uzcudur,
and Charley Retzlaff.
Too Small?
Walker, Schmeling believes, has
everything but the size, "a cham
pion at his own weight but not
match for front-rank heavies." The
German thinks RetZlaff Is "the finest
young prospect and, after he gains
experience, my most likely success
or"
Schmeling said Stribling was
fine defensive boxer and a hard hit
ter but that he lacks the true
champions ability to do his best
work under pressure"
The German said he was confident
he could defeat any heavyweight in
the world to-day. He plans to stay
in Germany until about August 1 or
whenever Joe Jacobs sends for
me-"

George Won Elm of Los Angeles
and Bill Burke of Greenwich, Conn,
were to tee off in q second attempt
to decide which should hold the title
for one year. Deadlocked at the
end of the customary 72-hole cham
pionship, they were still tied after
SO additional holes had been played.
Great in Il Pinch.
Each had an aggregate of 292 for
the four rounds. Each scored 149s
in the playoffs, but one Of the 149
strokes scored by Won Elm was vast
ly more important than any other
one. 1t was 10-foot putt on the
final green which went down for
birdie three which sent the already
extended tournament into still fur
ther competition.
Curiously enough, Won Elm sank
last hole Saturday, tying up the con-
test.
Which ever of the two does not
elbow" to-day should win the $1,000
prize money, custody of the cup and
a metal plate which says that So
and-so Is champion.
It Is Worth Something.
These things are of some value
as advertising, and the $l,OoO prize
Is only pocket change compared
with the income some champions
have earned by virtue of bearing
the crown.
There were two noteworthy fea-
lures in the playoffs. One was Won
Elm's card which showed four con-
secutive brides in the afternoon
round.
Another feature was the success
at chip-shooting displayed by Burke.
He holed out on the ninth from 80
feet. He also Clipped out on the
18th hole. He holed out from rs
feet away.
Back and Forth
Both were In considerable trouble
often over-reaching the green or be-
ing just short Of It. Both were In
trouble much of the time because
their tee shots found bunkers or
roughs.
The standing of the players
changed repeatedly during the
rounds. with Burke holding the up
per hand throughout most Of the
morning round. and Won Elm forg-
ing into the lead later In the day.
The first round of 10 holes was
to start at 10 a. m. EST, with the
second due to begin at p. m.

Living Characters Used
on Ancient Chessboard

The Mughul emperors of India
carrier out some strange plans in
connection with their domestic
life, and a visitor to the famous
fort in Agra will be able to see
some of the beautiful buildings
used as part of the Zenana. One
of the most interesting features is
the open space in the center of the
fort, known as the Anjuri Bagh.
This space is divided into many
squares. marked off by marble
slabs, and covered with green
grass. There are broad marble
causeways between the separate
blocks. 1t is generally believed
that the AIughul emperOrs used
these as chess-bOards, and the
pieces" used in the game were
young slaves, who changed their
position according to the directions
of the players. who would be seat
ed in one of the marble pavilions.
The game played in those days did
not correspond with the modern
chess, but was known as pachesi.
The size of the Anjuri Bagh is
about $50 feet square.

affected" Literature

The term ''Precieux" was applied
to the affected style which devel-
oped in France during the Seven
teenth century. 1t was the out
come of a movement for purity and
refinement in language and was fos-
tered in various Partisan salons,
notably in that of the Hotel de
Rambouillet. 1t soon became a
menace to the language, degenerat-
ing into a mere affectation. Under
this influence, fantastic terms of
speech replaced simple expressions
to such a degree that the whole
movement acquired a ridiculous
character and led Moliere to write
his brilliant satire, LES Precieuxes
Ridicules," which gave the death
blow to the school.
