NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Foot-
ball is to have it's "code" too.
Leading coaches and officials
will gather here today for the
annual Interpretation meeting of
the Eastern intercollegiate AS

a down.
This afternoon Coach Lou

CONTEST ENDS,
MAIL POURS|N

Though the Babe Ruth ALL
American contest ended last mid
night, the postman staggered into
The Washington Times sports de-
partment this morning, buckling
under a heavy load Of last-minute
entries, filed before the closing
deadline.
He met a bleary-eyed man who
mumbled something about Foxx,
Gehrig, Cronin, Bluege, Higgins,
Manush, Simmons, Berger, Klein,
Averill, Cantwell. Hubbell, Crowd
er, Whitehill, and other bits of
jargon, which sounded meaning
less.
But the postman sympathized.
He knew what the man had been
up against. He recognized him
as the Washington Times Babe
Ruth contest editor and knew he
had been up throughout the wee
sma' hours of the morning look
ing through the mail.
The Babe Ruth editor thought
he had really seen a pile Of let
ters the past week but it seems as
though he had seen nothing until
he got the letters the last few
days.
Wednesday saw an increase in
the volume of mail and Thurs
days amount was greater than
Wednesday but when Friday and
Saturday mornings arrived, he
gave up in dispair. Have no fears,
the Babe Ruth editor will do his
best to be out of the trenches of
mail by the early part Of next

Darkness Ends Match
Between Cricket Foes

Darkness ended an exhibition
cricket match between the Cam
bridge Vandals, English team
touring the United States, and
the Washington Cricket Club,
headed by L. Mccormick Good
heart on the latter's estate yester-
day.
When darkness came the visit
ors were leading, 180 to 98 for
nine wickets. However, under the
rules of cricket, the game becomes
draw, as the home players we're
not able to finish their innings.
The Washington times., 1933-09-09

Now for the various positions
and the reasons why we have
chosen the different players:
FIRST BASE
The contest for first base hon.
ors has not been as keen this sea-
son as it was in some recent years.
Foxx, Gehrig, Terry and Kuhel
have all been playing strong all
around game, and the two st.
Louis first sackers. Jim Collins
and Jack Burns, also have been
doing very we'll. But Foxx has
had an exceptional year, and his
long distance hitting gives him
1.-The call over those who for a time
may have appeared to better ad-
vantage.
SECOND BASE
d: In choosing the leading second
baSeman Of the season we again
meet a few players whom we
have had to consider in other
years. Charley Gehringer, Frank
Frisch, oscar Melillo and Tony
IIazzeri have all won the all-Star
vote for this position in the past,
these being the only players, ex-
cept Rogers HornSby, to be
named for this position in our
10 All-America teams. They are
all in the running this year, with
Buddy Myer and Tony Piet as
added starters and Johnny Ho-
dapp prominent for his hitting.
Gehringer is the choice of the
board. This has been the best
season of one of the games
greatest ball players. He lacks
the driving power Of Lazzeri, but
in every other feature of play,
batting or defenSively, he tops
or equals every other second
baseman in the game.

stop Of the year comes under

until the season was we'll along.
In the National League, Davis. of
the Phillies; Grace, of the Pirates,
and Hartnett, of the Cubs, have
all been in the limelight. For
catching finesse, and forgetting
the hitting, you could hardly i'm
prove on Luke Sewell, of the Sen
ators, or Jimmy Wilson, of the
Cardinals.
Weighing the all-around merits
of the various maskmen we re-
gard Bill Dickey as the best all
around performer among the 1888
catchers, with Ferren, Cochrane
and Davis all crowding him for
honors.
PITCHERS
The most difficult choice to
make in selecting this 1888 team
was the second of the two pitchers
who are named annually. The
first pitcher is a standout. That
is Carl Hubbell, the shut-out king
of the season and pitcher who
is likely to finish the campaign
with 25 victories. There was not
the slightest hesitation in picking
the Giants brilliant southpaw.
The rub comes in choosing the
other pitcher.
The pitchers who have done
particularly we'll, besides Hubbell,
are Whitehill and Crowder, Of the
Senators; Cantwell, of the Braves;
Dean, of the Cardinals; Warneke,
of the Cubs, and Grove, of the AS.
The choice for second pitcher
finally narrowed down to two
pitchers-Whitehill and Cantwell.
But since in a league where hits
are more frequent and scoring
heavier. Whitehill had a more
difficult task than Cantwell. he
is chosen.
Growder was bear for work,
but less effective than Whitehill.

In making these choices we
have not been guided entirely by
batting averages and pitching rec.
ordS. Other conditions lust be
considered. We try to figure out
the players on natural ability and
general value. I am quite sure
that all our choices will not meet
with general approval, because no
team Of this kind ever does.
4 National Leaguers
Our 1888 team consists of six
American League players and
four from the National. This is
the same ratio as in our 1882 Sc
;lectionS. I feel that we may be
accused of prejudice, because 1
am an American League player,
but I wish to say that We forgot
leagues whe1 making these selec-
kions. In 1929 we selected six Ma
tional Leaguers and four from the
American League. In 1925, 1927
and 1928 the teams were evenly
divided, five and five. 1t would
be a simple matter to name five
from each league each season, but
we would rather choose according
to our idea of merit, than attempt
to balance the team by leagues.
The All America Board which
worked with me in the selection
of the 1888 team was made up
of the following:
Kirk Miller, Washington Times.
Jack MaIaney, Boston Post.
Warren Brown, Chicago Herald
Examiner.

Mae West Teaches Proper
Appreciation of Mae West

Mae Vests childhood was spent

Mae West.
Her parents were theatrical peo-

sional debut at the age of five. After
several years in vaudeville she made
her Broadway debut in the "Follies
Bergere," then played in "a la
Broadway" "Vera violetta" and "a
Winsome Widow" After these sue
cesses she returned to vaudeville for
five years, specializing in limitations

falls. Two world-famous actresses
took exception TO this parental train

Bernhardt who was on the same
bill with us, and when he bent to
kiss her hand, she said haughtily,
"Are you not ashamed to make re
money from re cruelty to re little
garcon?" But she was later con-
WINGED that my parents loved me
and cared for me as jealousy as
any parents could.
The second, Lily Langtry, did not
