CROKER TELLS OF PREFERENCE I FOR OLD GAME Aged Tammany Boss, After Seeing 1921 World’s Series, Draws Comparisons. Richard Croker, former Tammany bo6& of New York, still hale and hearty at SO years of age, is not nun’ii ol a baseball fan, but a baseball reporter got 'an interesting Interview out of him—one that showed some knowledge of the game and disclosed also that the former chieftain had played it—in an effort to learn what ilr. Croker thought of the world series. Croker saw one game of the 1921 series, and said that was euougn He was rather disappointed because a lot of huskies didn't murder the pitchers, not taking into account, apparently, that the pitchers are some huskies on their own. The interview of the scribe with Crocker will appeal to many an old fan who in his secret recesses hoiilj views the same as those expressed, ft I n't he opinion of that eminent octogenarian fan, Hiehard Croker, baseball jus become so scientific it isn’t as Interesting as it used to be. He recalls the days when a team was thought to be off its feed if it didn't make IS or 20 runs in the course of a game. He thinks farther back than that, to the days when you had to iht a runner with the ball in order to put him out, and on the whole he believes that those were the spiciest days of all. . Mr and Mrs. Croker saw one game or the 1921 series, a game in which the tanks beat the Giants, 3 to 1. They sat in the , box of the hot-dog monarch. Hurry St® - vans. They said afterward that they would not go again. At the Savoy Hotel they were asked why. -ft was a great game, the retired Tammanv leader said. "Id like to sec another, but my time is too much m;cupied. When 1 come to New York 1 want to see all my old friends that are left. There are still some I haven t seen jet. and what would they think oj. me 1 they heard I was spending every day at tne rball grounds? “Years f.go, I suppose T was a rooter for the Giants, although they werent called G’ants then, were they? Now l find I favor the Yankees. I don t know any of the players on either team, but Colonel Kuppert, president of the Yankees, and others interested in the club, are friends of mine, so I naturally lean to their side, though I suppose a good Irishman should root for McGraw. “My impressions of the game '■ i> on. it has got to be very scientific, hasn't it t The batters look strong, but they don t seem to be able to hit the ball the way they did years back. I'm told the development of pitching is to blame for that. Is it true that they can really curve the ball, so that it starts in a certain direction, and then swings off in an- j The" interviewer assured Mr Crokei that to the best of his belief this was the fact. He did not express disbelief, but said he never had been so placed at a game as to see the curve with his own took special notice of Babe Ruth, he said. “It is easy to see why he's such a hitter. He puts his whole body into the swing, while many other players bat from their shoulders or their elbows ” “Ever play baseball yourself'-" was the Question put to the aged Tammany chieftian, when a lull came in the conversation. „ “Well, sixty or seventv years ago, M. Croker smiled. “The ball was rubber then. We cut it out of rubber car springs. You know the cars and wagons had a big rubber spring underneath. When a spring was torn out and laid aside it (still had a lot of good rubber left, and the boys would take their jackknives and whittle a piece of the rubb r until it was prettty round There were nine players on a side, and three bases. Just as there are now. but a batter or runner wasn t out until he was hit with the ball. It was part of the runner's Job to dodge the ball as he ran around the bases. We used to throw it pretty I f “When I first came to New York as a little hoy w-e lived in Twenty-Sixth street near Third avenue. We used to go out into the country to play ball. Come to think of It. I believe we used to play Just about where we are now, where the Savoy Hotel Is now. Then mj familymoved to what is now One Hundieth and Tenth street, near Eighth avenue. That was the village of Manhattanville then. There were four villages on the upper part of the island—Manhattaaville and Carmenville on the west side, then Hcrleru on the flats and Yorkviile on the east side. “I must have played with tho Manhattanville team, though as a matter of fa-t there weren't many of what you would call regular teams. The boys just went out into the fields and chcse up sides, like this.” Mr. Croker with his two hands imitated the fist over fist motion, whereby millions of boys clutching a baseball bat have decided the personnel of heroic combat. He laughed as the old memories came flooding back, then said: “Don't vou think I'm' right. They're too scientific nowadays.” Wisconsin Five Stronger This Season Than Last MADISON, Wls, Dec. 15.—Wisconsin will be represented by a better team this year than the one which shared a triple tie for the Big Ten basket-ball championship last season. Five veterans t re retnrned to the fold, Captain Caesar, and Taylor, forwards: Rollle Williams, guard; Tebell end Gage, substitute guard and forward, respectively. It was the Wisconsin “short pass" game which kept the Badgers In the running last year, and with two of its leading exponents on the team again. Cae9ar and Taylor, the offensive work of the Quintet should be vastly tetter. I Only a brilliant defense can smash a smooth-working short-pass attack. That was shown conclusively in the last campaign. This type of play takes the defensive guards away from the basket and leaves many open shots at tiie cage. Forming a compact circle the Badsrs work the ball down the floor, pra tieaily • without molestation. They seldom re sort to dribbling or long shots. Again, the short-pass is the feature of the attack. It is now almost as we!!- I established as the old-time “Minnesota shift" In football. Gibson and Johnson are fighting mer- 1 rily for center, the only vacant post on the quintet. Neither appears to have the edge. Substitutes of repute are Brumm and ’ Gill, guards, and Rudiger, forward. Den Zares in Victory SCOTTSBT’RG, Ind., Dec. 15 —The Den Zare five of Indianapolis defeated the Scottsburg Commercials here last night by the score of 30 to 12 In a game that was featured by the close guarding of the Indianapolis boys. The first half ended 17 to 9 In favor of the Hen Zares and the Den Zares then tightened their defense and the locals did not score a field goal 1n the second half. Behrent with thirteen points and Conley with nine led in the Den Zare scoring. Chambers starred for the locals The Den Zares lined up with Slaughter and Behrent at forwards : Conley, center, and Brewington and Itnwkin-. guards.

CAMP TELLS HOW HE SELECTS HIS ALL-AMERICAN GRID TEAM

Every fall the grid fang all over the United Slates await with, interest the allAmerican football selections of Waiter Camp. Although there are always critij cisms of Ctmp'B eleven, the all-star ag- | gregation of the noted expert never fails to interest the followers of sport. There are each year numerous inquiries as to how the team is picked and to satisfy tbe curiosity of the public. Camp, In a recent issue of Collier's, has told the story of how he selects his all-American team. Walter Camp, In his Collier's article, says In part: “Inquiry has been made of the writer many times as to the principles and I method of selection. It is easier to tell l>v negatives perhaps than by positives. In the first place, it is not entirely a selection of individual stars. If one can get the picture, it is like looking over a squad of material on any football field the first of November; then, regarding these men as the material from which, thetteam is to be formed, gradually weeding them out until thirty-three remain. That gives us a first-string man for each position, with another man as his substitute, aud a third man for the position If we imagine the other two to have been lost or incapacitated. Then it must always be considered that the selection must form a team that, would be able to work together. . VARIOUS QUALIFICATIONS TO BE CONBI DEKKO. "There are several other factors that enter Into the question, exactly as they do in the selection of a team to play a big game. First, among the eleven men that are selected for the first team, there must be a punter and a drop kicker or placement kicker hence it is not possible to select merely the star ground gainers for a back field. There must be a quarter back who can act as a gene-ral and who has demonstrated his fitness for that phase of the work. There must be one strong line plunger and a powerful secondary defense tnan in that back field. Each man of the three must be a good interferer, and two at least must be able to throw the forward pass. As the game has developed, it is almost necessary to have two possible kickers and forward passers in that back field at all times in order not to have the attention of the defense devoted to a single man. “Then in the line there must be a man in the middle who Is able to snap the ball hack properly, both for running plays and for kicks, and who can play both a roving and a line defense: both ends must be aide to cover the field under a kick, and each must be adept at receiving the forward pass. But this Is not the entire limit of their qualifications, for they must also be able to break Interference and they and the tackles must he able to hurry an opposing forward passer. Tackles and guards have less complicated duties, but one very lie sirable factor is the ability to break through and block or hurry kicks; also ‘One-Eyed’ Connolly of Globe-Trotting Fame Got Setback at Coast Bout By TAD NEW YORK. Dec. I- Most of yon birds have heard of “One-Eyed Connolly.” He isn’t the original, but well say he’s a swell second, lie follows tho big fights all over. Below is a clipping from a Los Angeles paper. It is about Connolly and was turned off by Fane Norton. Here it is. Nap had his Waterloo. “One-Eyed Connolly” had his Vernon. The world’s champion "gate crasher." who. like Alexander, had shed bitter tears because there were no more worlds for him to conquer, came to grief in trying to "make" tho gate at the Vernon arena one night. The man who had seen every sporting event from tho sun kissed shores of the Pacific to the sin-cussed beaches of the Atlantic and from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico with iut its costing him a thin dime, took in t >o much territory. For One-Eyed Connolly spent the evening in the Vernon calaboose. When Kid Roach beat Soldier Graham in four rounds in the curtain-raiser Connolly was not at the ringside. He was in the lock-up looking out and listening to the cheers that were wafted on the br -ezes filtering in from the packing houses. When Lucky Logo beat Willie Hunt in four rounds Connolly was wondering what it was all about. The show was going ahead without him. WOen Joe Brown beat Sailor Martinez, the well-known New Yorker realized It J was all off and, curling up on a bunk, tried to grab a few winks of sleep, but the cheer-ng when Johnny We* or bent Mike Golindo recalled the days of Jersey City, Toledo. Reno, Benton Harbor, Madison Square Garden and New- Orleans. They can hold a guy but a short time on suspicion, but Connolly served twenty years in a couple of hours. Connolly's real thrill followed the main event, 1c which Dick Donald gave the decision to Bobby Ertle over Joe Fisher. The verdict got such a rise out of the fans that there were angry protests swelling to a roar. It was not the goodnatured cheering such as usually follows a bout. Calling to the constable in charge of the bastile, Connolly cried: “They’r# coming after me. Tell them I'm not hoy Gardner and I can prove It. Here's the nickel I got from John It Rockefeller for two 5-cent papers and here'B my j watch and a button showing I belong to the Newsboys’ Union.” After the booing had died away Con- ! colly could hear the cats beating it out of Vernon into Los Angeles, Quiet set- | tied over the calaboose and Connolly i gave up In despair. lie settled himself j for the night, when he was disturbed by the jangling of keys and his home for the night was throw-n open. “You'll have to get out of here, fellow,” said a gruff voice. “The Vernon police force wants to move In and have a pitch game. Outside for you.” And Connolly was sent out into the night. ine man who "crashed the gate at Jersey City three and finally saw the Mg battle from the ringside” is e changed man today. “I didn't think it could he done,” he ' wails. “There I was. talking to Jack Doyle like one gentleman to another. I wag Just telling Jack I was going to j make the gate and borrow a dollar off him before the night was over and e ’bull’ came along and took me in. "I don’t care so much about myself, but what will Tad and Runyon and Joe Hannon say; I'll hardly dare go hack to; New York, but I’ll be darned If I ain’t going to get just as far away from l'er- ■ non as I can. I never heard of the town | before and I don’t want to hear of It again.”

Don’t believe anything about them till you know fop sure

the tackles must be fast enough to get down the field under kicks. "There is another point which is of peculiar Interest and which explains In some measure why more men ou minor teams are not chosen for the All-Ameri-can. The fact Is that unless a man has played on a team which Is high-class 1 enough to compete with the best teams j in tbe country, it is difficult to judge his quality. “It Is really no test of an individual I man to play on a team which Is badly j beaten by a leading team. Tbe individual i may star and play better than anybody j on the winning side, but he does not have the same situation to contend with. Unless the two teams are playing on a fair equality, 'the strain is not as great. Ability to work under intense competition is one of the assets which must be possessed by a man to make the AllAmerican team, and while a man may perhaps shine as an individual against a team that is running riot over his eleven, he might not so shine if the two teams were tied and he was fighting to. prevent defeat or to secure a victory. True, it is possible that he might play even better, but he does not get the same opportunity to prove his worth under intense strain. EXPERTS CONSULTED IN ALL SECTIONS. “As to the method by which tho selections are accomplished, for a long time the writer saw all the players he selected, aud saw them in several games. As the possibilities of players grew more widely extended It has not been entirely possible to do this, but it Is possible to see a great many of them. The writer hus been fortunate iu securing reliable, experienced men, who report to him continually aud who have his instructions as to what he wishes to know about any individual player iu any game. Usually two or more of these j uion work in each section entirely un-1 known to each other, so that the possibility of partisanship or indiscriminate hero worship is fairly well eliminated." “There are many Interesting features connected with this All-American selection —some amusing and others rather pathetic. Personally I believe lu the game of American football so thorough I ly that I feel that any standard, or 1 supposed standard, that leads a boy to j play the game which contains so much ! discipline for the temper, so much real 1 hard, earnest, and faithful work, is well | worth while. Then too, his work is essentially unselfish, for he must learn to be a cog In the machine. I am convinced, by the great amount of correspondence as well as Individual conversation that 1 have had with coaches and players in the last twenty-five years, that the stimulus of All-American selections aids in this work.” Purdue on Maroon Track and Wrestling Cards CHICAGO, Dec. 15.- -Thfi University of Chicago track team will engage In five dual track meets, besides competing in the Illinois indoor relays at Urbana on March 4, according to announcement by Athletic Director A.

Ranking Stars of Netdom Selected by Eastern Critic Choice Made Before Official Selection of V. S. Lawn Tennis Association. | NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—Tennis in Amer- | ica last summer reached the peak of pop- ! ularity and interest. ! Because of the great growth of the : court pastime, the number of playors engaged in actual competition and tho unusual interest shown by the public, the ranking of players by the United States Lawn Tennis Association will be watched with more than the ordinary interest: The "First Ten” selected by the governing body of the game corresponds to the “All-American” teams of football, only it is official and means far more to the players. The committee of the association delegated to select the ten best American players and rank the other hundreds of competitors naturally cannot make a choice that will suit every one in every section but the criticism of the selection last year wns particularly bitter when the austere body ranked the great boy wonder, Vincent Richards as No. 12. What the committee will do about Richards this year is causing considerable speculation. Most of the followers of the court game-are unanimous that the committee can place the Fordliam collegian no lower than third, behind William T. Til-len and William M. Johnston, the stars of the American Davis Cup team. Fred Hawthorne, one of tho best tennis writers and critics in New Y'ork, recently announced the ten players that in his judgment were entitled to selection. He rated them In the following order: Tilden, Johnston. Richards, R. N. Williams. Wallace Johnson, Watson Washturn, Ighiya Kuraagae, Willis Davis, j Robert Klrsey and Lawrence Rice. Interest also is attached to the “International First Ten” which has been named by It. H. Liddell Hart in “The National Review” (London). His noml-

Technical Gets Another Terrific Drubbing* 54-5 ANDERSON, Ind.! Deo. 15.—Anderson had an enjoyable evening here last night with the Technical basket-ball team. It was such a one-sided contest that all interest was lost and the only thing the fans remained to see was how huge a total the locals would pile up. It finally ended 54 to 5. The Indianapolis team managed to get two goals in the forty minutes. The so-called five-men defense of Tech proved about as hard to penetrate as the Hindenburg line after It. had started back toward Berlin. Tqch's original line-up played the entire game and what small amount of playing done was contributed by Jolley and Gordon.

Little Giants Cop Thriller by Staging Sensational Finish Wabash Quint Overcomes Big Lead and Defeats Commerce Stars, 35 to 28. After the Chamber of Commerce five had piled tip a lead that looked almost insurmountable In the first half the Wabash collegians came back with a rush in the second period last night at Tomlinson Hall and defeated the locals, 85 to 28. The old adage was proved true that he who laughs last laughs best. The Commerce five was leading, 20 to 11. at the dose of the first twenty minutes of play. The Scarlet being in their first contest, were finding It difficult to find themselves on the big floor and the ! offense of the all-star aggregation was : passing rings around Vaughan’s players. , Campbell, cutting across under the basket, snagged sensational goals and 1 Hinkle was all over the floor. Hennessey got two counters before he was | ejected from the contest on personal ; fouls Just before the half ended. But the second half was entirely dtfi ferent. The Wabash players came back with blood In their eyes and the ninepoint lead was cut down so fast that the fans hardly knew how It was done. Bwish, swish, swish went the net and the Little Giants were leading 21 to 20. They were never headed. The closing minutes j of the game saw the complete rout of the Chamber quintet. Eight points was j the sum total of the local team’s efforts | In the final twenty minutes. Adam j started the winning rally and his J dribbling was the fastest on the floor. | Grater ai back guard was the same i old stonewall on defense and he dribbled | the ball down the court time after time I to feed it to his team mates. Crane j and Burdette, two new forwards who got ] a chance to show their wares, looked ! good. The Wabash team seems to have lots of ; potential power, but showed ths lack of j sufficient time to get Into shape. Later j on In the season with the five hitting on ; all cylinders the Scarlet aggregation is , going to be hard to beat.
