 Bill at Strand
Seven Headline Acts Over

Warner Brothers Strand has completed the difficult task of book ing a stage snow Tor today and Sunday to follow in the wake of the brilliant one presented last week when two movie stars, mak- ing personal appearances. head lined one of the finest bills ever seen on the Strand stage.
 The Strand management has had their hands full in obtaining a suit able seven act show for today and Sunday but have emerged from their task triumphant.

 There is every vaudeville fea- ture to be desired included among the seven acts not to forget three new and entirely different novelty presentations.
 The feature picture on this splendid program is Sunset Trail" starring the popular Ken Maynard. Another of the splendid western series for which this star has be- come the favoritee of the nations theatergoers.
 Ken is seen as cow-hand who has quit the range to take care of an orphaned youngster, son of one of his former pals. Although he is urged to quit his job with mining company and go back to the wide open spaces, Ken refuses because of his desire to see that the young- ster has the proper education. 'Taterbug," Ken's side-kick goes back to the range and obtains em- ployment with woman rancher. An interruptions banker Is trying to force her to sell her holdings by ] q campaign of terroism. Her COW. hands are run off the range and newcomers are discouraged before they have & chance to work. Ken is intrigued by the situation when he learns about 1t and joins his pal. He finds the mistress of ranch to be very beautiful girl and he joins forces with "'Tater- bug" in fighting her enemies. He discovers that the banker is at the bottom of her troubles and, after 'Taterbug" is killed. fights the banker and his gang to standstill.
 Ruth Hiatt is the leading lady. with Frank Rice as 'Taterbug." Buddy Hunter is the boy and Philo Mccullough the scheming banker.

the meeting gets into full swing.
Many Deals Expected
AS the first big baseball parley
Of the year and the one likely
to attract the largest crowd, the
meeting undoubtedly will produce
several important deals and a
great many Of lesser Importance.
Looming larger than anything
else before the convention proper,
however. is the rehabilitation pro-

the executive committee of the

sional Baseball Leagues, headed
by William G. Bramham, of Dur

Piedmont League.
AS one way of getting on the
right side of the ledger, it pro-
poses to cut player limits in
the Class AA leagues to II men,
in Glass A to 16, and in Class B,

It would set the salary limit
at $6,500 a year in class AA,
So 500 in class A, $4,000 in class
B, $500 in class C, and $1,000 in
class D.

of Columbus, former American

establish other leagues on a new

Consideration will be given
also to a proposal for the adop-

It's never easy to name a team
of eleven men, or three teams OF
33 men. Too many good men have
to be left off. The three teams,
as finally chosen, are perhaps
equally good. The first team
backfield could be placed back OF
the second team line; the third
team line could be put in front
of the second team backfield--
and the team would still be ALI
America in every respect.
Perhaps you'd like to know how
the various men Jared.
Three Washington players re-
ceived honorable mention. Walter
Slaird, G. w. crack tackle; Tom
Whelan. c. U. all-around back
field ace. and "Zuzi" Stewart,
G.. w. colorful guard.
Newman Leads List
The outstanding candidate was
Harry Newman, of Michigan.
Harry polled 213 of a possible
$50 points, which is mighty near
perfect. Summerfelt, of Army;
Moss, of Purdue: Kurth, of Notre
Dame, and Ernie Smith, of South
ern California, likewise were
heavy favorites.
The closest battle was for the
center position. With all the
ballots in and tabulated, a bare
seven points separated Bernard,
of Michigan, in first place and
Tormey, of Pittsburgh, who rated
fourth. In the backfield, too,
there was a battle. Heller and
Horstman won by fair margins
but Hitchcock, of Auburn won
by the merest sort of whisker
over Zimmerman, of Tulane, and
Cain, of Alabama.
Right End Difficulty
At only one position was there
any arbitrary placing. That was
at right end, where Joe Skladany
of Pitt and Dick King Of Army
were tied for first team honors.
The place was awarded to Sklad-
any because he played the com
pleted season while King was IN
iured and out of the game Tor the
last three weeks.
Angel Brovelli and Mike Step
onovitch of st. Mary's both were
prominently mentioned by the ex-
perts-but both men were left of
the honorable mention list be-
cause of the disciplinary measures
taken against them late in the
season.
Limited To 100
In making up the honorable
mention list many worthy men
are necessarily left out, because
the complete All-America list has
been arbitrarily limited to 100
PLAYERS. The 100 men receiving
the highest vote were chosen re
gardless of position-and when
the list of 100 was filled the team
was complete.
In the course of the consensus
some 563 names were submitted
for consideration. Some of these
men got only one or two votes;
most of them had 20 or more,
Naturally when the list is limited
to 100 men, many of these very
deserving players must be left
off.
But despite that fact the
Hearst writer's and experts feel
that they have named a team
which is not only representative
but superior.
Picked What Observed
They know they have named
only men whose work has been
observed throughout the season
Probably you think you could
pick a better team-or a better
group of teams. Perhaps you
could. Difference of opinion is
what makes football interest.
Certainly with more than 500
colleges playing football-and
with each school boasting a squad
of anywhere from IS to 100 men
players are sure to be over
looked. But with the widespread
and comprehensive coverage of
the combined Hearst papers, we
believe that condition has been
reduced to a minimum.
Anyhow, here it is. And now
let the argument start.
