J LY NAMES AN AU-STAR N1HE Veteran Umpire Picks Team of Classy Players in the American League. Philadelphia, pa., Feb. 14. Umpire Tom Connolly has compiled a list ofthe players whom he considers the best in the American league. Here they are: Classiest pitcher. "Chief" Bender; best -"waiter." Harry Hooper; best "squeeze" player, Hal Chase; best on hit and run play. Harry Lrd; best all around player, Ty Cobb. All-American league team Oscar Stanage. catcher; "Chief" Bender and WEd- Walsh.- pitchers: Hal Chase, first bas'e: Eddie Collins, second base; Jack Barry, shortstop; Frank Baker, third base; Crawford, Speaker and Cobb, outfielders.' Substitutes Carrigan, catcher; Lajoie, infielder; Hooper, Jackson and Milan, outfielders:. In explaining his selections Connolly paid: , "If I had to Diok mv one choice from the 'American league pitchers. I would call Bender. Tho "Chief," still a young man, is the classiest f them all. Me has the speed of Walter Johnson, but does not need to use it. and has the curves, and always is a ?ool master of the game. He knows every batter, the result of constant study Johnson is an easy pitcher with terrific speed, but give me Bender in a pinch. "There never ws a base stealer like Ty 'CobbJ There Is nothing to touch but Ty's shoestring, so fast and clever is his slide." NEW POLO TEAM. r The Hammond polo team, -which made its debut last Friday evening when they defeated the fast East Chicago poloists by a score of 3 'to 2, were handed a new name yesterday and hereafter . will be known as the Dave Lederers. By the good will of .Dave Lederer he promised to purchase suits for the Hammond squad and when they arrived yesterday thought it no more than right to honor Dave by using his name." Hammond has been doing some practice work and hope to make Indiana Harbor step some when the two fives meet at the East Chicago rink tomorrow night. The East Chicago team has captured three straight games from Indiana Harbor, and as Hammond-won from East Chicago Ffiday night they ought to have some easy sailing. ' e. b! A.'S GET THEIRS. May be you think those E. B. A-'s didn't receive a severe trouncing at Cox's alleys last night when the Plan tistas did the whitewash stunt, taki ing. "three, straight games and climbing up into first place with a lead of one 1 game. ,It was some easy picking, as the.P.lantistas called it. and they didn't .even give the leaders a lookin. Although the Plantistas' scores were not high they made good averages, making a 955 "game and 965 pins in the 'second and third series. They were ' there, every time the ball shot down the -alley., and sure rolled like a squad of old veterans. Three good individual games were rolled, Ebert making 237, FowIer218, and E:cklund 200. TheTonnetts and the Juniors also , rolled, the honors falling to the Monnens. wno captured two games. Xone is

Both Boxers Confident. Murphy Boasts of Punch. The following statements were made yesterday by Packey McFarland and Eddie Murphy regarding their big battle at South Bend tonight: , By Packer MrFarland. I will make no predictions, though of course I expect to win. I never say that I will give anybody a' trimming. I will do my best, of that you may be sure. and my manager and friends think my best is good enough to beat anybody my inches for ten rounds. I will enter the ring wi:h a discolored eye", buf it will not affect my fighting unless I should happen to get a hard, chance blow in the same spot. That is decidedly improbable. By Eddie Murphy. I have been asking McFarland for two years to give me a 'fight. I would not have chased him this way did I not think I could beat him. I'll admit ten rounds is hardly enough in which to catch Packey with a sleep producer, but I'll .be there trying all the time and confidently expect to earn the shade. I know I can outhit him and I think I am his equal at boxing. I'll keep my left hand going as fast as he does, and if I put the right over on the chin he'll sit down. ' of the games were what might be call ea even, annougn the second game which the Juniors captured was -won by 43 pins. The series was taken with 283 pins and the highest Individual score was made by Snyder with 205 pins. Plantistas 1st. 2d.

The general opinion here is that the decision against Barry yesterday was an unfair one, as he showed wonderful boxing skill. His contest with McVea will b for the heavyweight championship of Australia. Longford, and McVea have been rematched for a twentyround affair Easter Monday. April 8.
