"This il a choosey dog"
Alice did no, carry tho CONVEX

YOUTHFUL HooDLUMS

As 10 children. there was a
group on the well-to-do side street
that had behaved so like hoodlumS
in their play that they were dan
gerous. One of them almost killed
another in a iestful prank one eve

sidewalk and tried 10 strange

A minor inconvenience was that
no one could pass.

When he came down again he

She had wished TO know what
the important thing was but, later,
when she asked him, he had for

philosophical truth about living for

business. which she found he was
engaged in. He supplied eggs to
the girls in her apartment and one
lot was not up TO the standard.

Three Made, Four Tied

BY lne Associated PRESS.
CHICAGO, Dec. 8.-Record- break
ing fielding was the big reason 1912
batting averages in the American
Association were the lowest in more
than 20 years.
Three new fielding marks were
established and four others were
equaled, 1t was disclosed in the offs
fetal averages released today.
Toledo figured in all the record
breaking. The Mudhens' team per-
centage of .978, resulting from a
new a1-time low in errors, 1913, ex-
ceeded St. Pauls .976 set in 1882
Their errors were 10 under the mark
of 146 recorded by Kansas City in
1910 and tied by Kansas City again
this year.
Toledo's shortstop, Mark Christ
man, accounted for the other rec
ord. He wound up with a season s
fielding average of .972, aided by a
streak from May 81 to June IL in
which he played errorless ball in Is
games. The old mark of 1866 set by
Shannon of Louisville In 1925, also
was bettered by Milosevich of Kan
sas City, who had 1868 to finish Sec
ond to Christman.
In addition to Shortstop Christ
man, top fielding honors. for catch
ers were won by Angelo Giuliani of
Minneapolis with 900. Guiliani next
year will perform for the Washing

Posts on Pros
Select Team
Packers Hutson Lone
Unanimous Choice
For Star Spot
BY DILLON GRAHAM,

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-High -scor-
ing Don Hutson, the veteran Green
Bay end who broke one or more
records every time he caught a pass
this season, was the only unanimous
choice for the all-National League
professional football team selected
by Associated Press and newspaper
sports writer's.
This former University of Ala
bama wingman easily would qualify
as an all-time all-league performer
on practically any ones ballot and
many regard him also as the greatest
star in professional football history.
No rival team has been able to build
q successful defense against his pass
snatching abilities.
Danny Fortmann, the Chicago
Bears guard, and Sid Luckman,
Bears quarterback, trailed Hutson
closely, being named on all but one
ballot.
Three Teams Unplaced.
The laundering Bears marched
of with five all-league team posi-
tions. while the Washington Red
skins took three. Three teams
the Chicago Cardinals, Detroit and
Philadelphia-failed to place a man
on either the first or second team.
In the all-league backfield along
With Luckman are Bill Dudley,
Pittsburgh. and Sammy Baugh and
Andy Farkas Of Washington. The
line has George Wilson, Bears, at
the other end, Riley Matheson,
Cleveland, at the other guard, Clyde
CBulldog) Turner, Bears, at center,
and Willie Wilkin, Washington, and
Lee Artoe, Bears. at tackles.
Dudley, an an-America halfback
last year with the University Of
Virginia, was the only rookie to
make the team. Reporters from the
1941 an-league team were Hutson,
Fortmann, Luckman, Wilkin and
Turner.
Masterson on Second Team.
Here's the second team or reserve
eleven.
Bob Masterson, Washington, and
Perry Schwartz, Brooklyn, ends:
Bruiser Kinard, Brooklyn, and
Chester Adams, Cleveland, tackles:
Bill Edwards, New York, and
Charles Goldenberg, Green Bay,
guards; Charles Cherundolo, Pitts
burgh, center; Tuffy Leemans. New
York; Cecil 1sbell, Green Bay; Mer-
Ign Condit. Brooklyn, and Gary
Famiglietti, Bears, backs.
This was the first time in many
years that the name of Mel Helm
Of New York was missing This
great center, playing his 18th sea-
son Of pro ball, was outvoted by
Turner and Cherundolo. y

Graham Turns Aerial
Arm 10 Court for
Northwestern
No. Z Poser Of Nation
Sets Big Ten Scoring
Title as His Cool
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
EVANSTON, ILL.,. Dec. g. The
busiest right arm in sports doesn't
belong to a baseball pitcher, but to
quiet, unassuming youth named
Otto Graham.
Graham, a junior at Northwestern,
has just jumped out of football
uniform into a basket ball suit with
only time out to take a shower.
This arm Of Graham's sprayed
1872 passes over the gridirons this
fall, 80 hitting their targets for a
gain Of 1902 yards. He was the
second best passer in the country.
But his arm isn't going to get q
rest.
I'D like to win the Big Ten scor-
ing championship in basket ball." he
laughs.
And he may do it if he gets over
an ankle and knee injury. He
ported SO baskets and 50 free throws
for 1877 points last season and was
the second highest scorer in the
conference. If his one-arm shots
improve on the same ratio as his
football passing, he's a cinch.
Despite Graham's scoring last sea-
son the Wildcat basket ball team
won only 5 Of Is games and finished
deep in the conference standings
And despite his remarkable passing
on the gridiron this fall, Northwest
ern concluded its worst campaign
with only l victory in 10 games.
Just one Of those things" con-
coded Graham, but we should be
improved in basket ball this time
we'll have more speed
They've never had to take a
silver or bone out Of Graham's over
worked arm, but several years ago
he had piece of cartilage removed
from his knee after a brilliant prep
career at Waukegan, Ill. The OPP
Grafton allowed him to continue
sports.
Graham will go from basket ball
to baseball this spring. He plays
center f1eld-but, you've guessed it.

ships and twice rescued from the
Jaws OF death, is going to see the
Redskins and Bears fight it out for
the 1912 pro championship at Grit
fifth Stadium. He feels as though
some magic power waved a wand
over him because at the time Of his
request he didn't know the big game
was coming up next week.
Seeing the Skins in action is the
fulfillment Of hope long deferred
for the boy. although he's been
around the ball park as much as
you're around your own home But
he always was just around the
corner, jerking sodas in the drug
store at Seventh and Florida ave-
nue. when everybody else was piling
into the park for a diamond duel
or football game. He told himself
some day he'd just take time of
from the job and join the crowd
himself, but he never got around
to 1t.
Never Has Seen Pro Game.
Peculiarly, although Sanner is
dyed-in-wool sports fan, he's only
seen one honest-to-goodness foot
ball game with regular officials,
yardsticks and all the rest of it
in his life That was a Navy-Wil-
liam and Mary game a couple Of
years ago. He played some sand
lot football himself when he wasn't
footing his alto saxaphone in West
ern High Schools band and or
chestra and likes any sport with
lot of action, such as hockey and
football.
Sanner, one OF a group of ,4S
men assigned to unloading ammu-
milton from United States trans
ports of the African coast during
landing operations, was working
in the No 6 hold Of the Hughes
when an enemy finish plowed into
the No 2 hold with an ear-bursting
roar. He got out Of that jam with
out much diniculty.
Less than "a hours later on the
Tasker H. Bliss, Sanner had Just
finished mess and had started to
clean his utensils, as required by
regulations, when two Axis torpedoes
struck simultaneously, filling the
place with binding flash. He
doesn't remember how many men
