.THORNHILL HAS FOOTBALL DOPE
 ALL DISHED UP
Says West Chose Wisely in Selecting Alabama
 for Big Game

STANFORD, Cal, Dec. 26-When Stanford chose Alabama as it's op- ponent in the 1885 Rose Bowl game, it picked wisely and perhaps too well, in the opinion of Coach Claude E. Tiny" Thornhill, foot ball coach of the Big Red ma chine.
 First of all, he says, the South ern teams record for the season warrants the selection. Whether Minnesota worshippers concede it or not, the Rose Bowl designation went, in Thornhil's opinion, to as strong a team as there is in the country today.
 This is how he justifies his argu- ment. MinneSota's supremacy with in it's own conference was estab- lished without meeting two of the strongest season-end teams of the Big Ten, Ohio State and Purdue.
 NOW TINY!
 I'm not so sure Minnesota could have beaten Ohio State. Look up their comparative records yourself. Purdue played some fine football in midSeason and we must remem- Der there were more surprising up- sets during the year than Purdue or Ohio State victory over Mime SQta wol1ld have haen
 Now take Alabama. Out here we know how tough these southern teams are. The Crimson Tide has been out here four times without a defeat-th times in Rose Bowl play and once against a strong St. Mary's team. Every other team from the south, almost without an exception, has put up great game, and the same cannot be said for many teams from some other sec- tors.
 COMPETITION BEGINS HOME
 Its true Alabama did not play outside of it's own section but the competition it finds at horie is tough enough to gauge the qualifi- cations of anybody's football team.
 "On the other hand Minnesota in it's principal conference game won over Pittsburgh on a break only after being on the short end of the score for three periods.
 You can argue until doomsday about the relative merits of two teams which play in different sec tions without proving anything. If they don't meet each other, there's no basis of comparison. If Minne- sota could have played in the Rose Bowl we would be just as pleased to meet them, but ss it is, out here

Dizzy Dean and Lou Ge]rig Dominate Major '
 Baseball Leagues During Season of 1884
1883 CHAMPIONS TUMBLE BEFORE TWOCOOD TEAMS
By HUGH s. FULLERTON, Jr. IA. P. Sports Writerl

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-To the fel- lows who paid their four bits to sit in the bleachers, the 1884 baseball season and Dizzy Dean were prac- tically the same thing, although a few might extend it to include me and Paul" And there is good req con to believe that Gus Fan struck 1t right in that contention.
 Despite the thrills in the close National league race, the unexpect- Id collapse of the Washington Sen ntors, 1883 American league cham pions, the stirring events of the world series and all the rest, Je- rome Herman Dean, dominated the tampaign.
 The Fall of the Giants
 Winning 30 games in the stirring pennant race, which wasn't decided until the last day of the season, and two more in the seven-game world series struggle with the De- troit Tigers, Dizzy was almost a OilC-lildi4 USdIIl.
 Meanwhile the New York Giants, 1883 world champions, faded out just enough at the finish to lose out, after leading from the early part of the campaign until weari- ness and the Cards overlook them.
 The Tigers, under the driving force of Mickey Cochrane, a first year manager, had an easier road to the pennant although they also had to go to the final week before the title was mathematical cer- tainty.
 The season also will be long remembered as Babe Ruins fare well campaign, unless the great man of the diamond should ex- perience a change of heart and decide to try it again during the coming year.
 Gehrig Marches On
 Ruth's slightly less famous team mate. Lou Gehrig, stepped into the Babes shoes to a certain extent when he captured the American league batting title and the home run crown in the course of extend- ing his iron man" record to 1904 consecutive games despite a suc- cession of injuries that would have put almost anyone else on the bench a couple of times. Lou hit 1863 to win the batting crown for the first time and belted 49 bom- CTS. National league batting hon. ors went to Paul Waner of Pitts burgh with 1882.

rather unexpectedly a couple of months after the season closed. Pleading i'll health, Heydler stepped out and Ford Prick, former New York newspaperman and head of the leagues service bureau, took over his presidential duties.
 The excitement didn't die after the bitterly fought world series and Tom Yawkey's check book again helped to keep interest alive. The Boston Red Sox owner, who spent so freely for players last winter and saw his team climb to first di- vision berth for the first time in years, paid out an estimated $150,- 900 to secure Joe Cronin, Washing

 New right and left field boxes will become permanent fixtures as will the newly built photograph CTS platform in the grand stands. All the seats and steel work will be repainted and new modern score board will replace the obsolete counter now standing.

"Dark"-that's the Juneau High School basketball gymnasium these days. And dark" the gym will re- main, too, for the rest of the high school vacation period.
 There will be no City League games, nor any exhibition contests with teams from other Alaska cities Furthermore, the high school quin- tet has no games or practice ses- sions scheduled for the vacation period. So, dark" is the word.

First Book Beer Since
Repeal Offered in City
Indiana BreWerieS Produces
Full Bodied Beverage
for Spring Use.

Arthur L. Lyon, master brewer
for Indiana Breweries, Inc, has
produced the first book beer for the
brewery. This is the first time since
prohibition that book beer has been
on sale. In the old days it was the
custom to sell such beer at Easter
time. According to Mr.. Lyon, the
beer was springtime tonic, and it
was the habit Of brewmasters in
German cities to offer the beer as
a special treat at Easter time.
In the old days book beer was
made during the entire year and
stored for the following spring. AS
each vat of beer was drawn off the
settings, which comprised about
one-tenth Of the total, was stored
in kegs. During the aging of beer
the heavier parts settled to the bot
tom. This lower layer of beer was
dark and thicker than the other
brew.
Because of it's age and materials,
the beer contained more alcohol than
the regular beer. The Germans
called this brew book beer and adj
vertised it with a picture of buck
ram. This name was chosen be-
cause of the butting characteristics
Of the ram.

BOrdentoWn, N. J., MatrOnS
Set to Defend Homes
and Children.
BY MARY MARGARET MBRIDE
Times Special Writer.


DORDENTOWN. N. j., March g.
ID A little group of devoted young
mothers in this historic old town
have fired a series of shots which,
if they are not heard quite round
the world, may at least reSound to
the farthest corner of the United
States before the echoes die away.
Under the tutelage of Lieutenant
Harry w. Barrick, professor of mill
tary science and tactics at Borden
town Military Institute, the deter
mined matronS are learning to ham
die firearms properly in order to
protect their homes and children
against outbreaks of lawlessnesS
general in this country just now.
The women are acting on a sug-
gestion made recently by Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt that mothers
should arm themselves against kid
naperS.
Hopewell Is Near BY
Although the scene of the most
terrible child-snatching tragedy of
this generation, Hopeweu, is only
about twenty-five miles away, the
dozen or more members of Lieuten-
ant Barrick's training squad are not
so much worried about kidnapers as
about other types of providers.

children to be in real peril from

humble, is menaced by the gangs of

seem to be everywhere these days.
Usually they are towards and a

Whether, as now seems likely

from other towns and cities, wo-
men elsewhere take up target prac-

Barrick asserted.
"Bordentown has never been
afraid to make history" he pointed
out, proudly, and as proof indicated
the rambling brick house where
Francis Hopkinson, signer of the
Declaration of Independence, once
lived, and the tiny red schoolhouse
where the famous Clara Barton
founded one of the first public
schools in New Jersey.
Some Women Experts
"This idea that women can't
shoot straight is so much poppy
cock" the lieutenant continued.
With practice, some of them be-
come expert. That is shown in the
national rifle matches. There the
women shoot right along with the
men, and at the last one, 45-year-
old woman went through the pre-
liminary course of instruction with
her husband and qualified for a
medal in the first 1872.
"Since between 1900 and 1,400 are
entered, among them at least 400 of
the best shots in the army, navy
and marine corps, you can see what
that means. 1t has been simply a
matter of custom that women
haven't taken up shooting. There's
no reason why it should be any
harder for them than for men.
Firearms No Menace

that firearms are necessarily men
