Soccer Fray—Captains of Football
Squads Selected for 1911
■ Gridiron day, scheduled for December 26, looks like a big success, an*
ose interested," which now Includes every live football fan in the country,
are correspondingly elated. The four games of soccer, rugby, the new and
old style American football, are to be givon a fair tryout by teams of the
front rank, and the afternoon's play should be an eyeopener to the sport-
Wheelan Is elated over his success in finally bringing the two rival rugby
aggregations together and in securing the Indians to meet St. Vincents. They
are all lined up now and there should be no obstacles left in the way of the
big carnival. Never before have four football Barnes, each of a different
style, been pulled off on the same gridiron on the same day. No other city
or community could furnish teams for more than two styles. The carnival
should attract world-wide attention.
Gait and Wheelan went over the old rules last night. There will be five
yard linos, hurdling, end iuns, center bucks, mass plays, close formation,
guards back, tackles over and straight football In general. There will be no
forward passes and every player must remain on-Side mul not overrun the
tall unless it is the kicking fullback. The old-timers are expected out in
force. College alumni are to bo invited to attend in respective bodies and
bring their old colors. It is likely that one of the old-time players of re
nown will be invited to referee the old-style game. There are many famous
players of the east in Los Angeles, and they are expected to make themselves
known and probably will be introduced to the crowd.
GALT WILL LEAD SHERMAN
The Sherman Indians have agreed to piny St. Vincents after several days 1
hesitation, chiefly because Coach Bullock left this section of the country. In
Bullock's place has arisen a new war chief. John (3alt, who years ago was a
great player for Sherman and then for St. Vincent's. Gait came to town
last night and had a conference with Manager "Pat" Whrclan. lie went away
satisfied and is to return to Sherman and jine up his braves, who have been
t tic ing on the campus for a few days.
With the completion of the Sherman contract the full card is lined up.
Indians and St. Vincents will play the old-style American game, the
Southern California Athletic association team (composed largely of the V.
S C prep team) is to play Throop in the now American game. A picked
team from Los Angeles high school will play Polytechnic in rugby, and the
Thistles are to meet the Rangers in soccer.
Many of the important universities and colleges of the country have se
lected their football captains for 1911. Quarterbacks and tackles arc the fa
vorite positions of several of the biggest teams of the east, south and west.
In the following list of captains fourteen players will direct the teams from
tbOM positions. Yale, Brown. West Point and Vanderbilt have selected
quarterbacks, while Michigan, Chicago and the Carlisle Indians picked
tackles.- An even dozen halfbacks have been elected, including Dalton of
SapoU;;, whose field goal beat the West Poftit eleven in their recent game.
1 Stanford and California universities, where the rugby game is played,

"With bowling flourishing wherever

Ing with Interest the work of Bob
Reed's standard-bearers In the big
bowling tournament of the Southern
California association. With . high I
scores rolling up every time they go [
against an opponent the Grands have 1
established themselves as a bunch hard I
to beat, and the record Is looked for
at any time.
Lustig, Taylor, Ballard, Bowran and j
Dysinger do most of the heavy shoot- !
Ing Cor the Main street bunch, and ]
chances are they will Journey to St. j
Louis next year to compete in the na
tional bowling competitions in the Mis
souri metropolis. It all depends on
the form shown in the next few weeks,
for the players feel that unless they
are up to their top game there is no
use making so long a trip. The cracks '
of the country will be on the lists,
and with the honor of Los Angeles at
stake the Grands want to let nothing
go undone to assure a creditable show
ing.
Last night's, rolling on the Grand i
alleys showed a flash of what the !
squad can do. Pitted against the i
McKenzle Colts in the Southern Cali
fornia Bowling associations tourney,
the Main street aggregation annexed j
two out of the three games scheduled,
and had it not been for the superior
individual work of All' McKenzie I
might have made it three straight. Mac

PROMINENT MEN
SEEKING BROWNS
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—"Ben" Ad
kins, water commissioner of St. Louis;
Mark Ewing and his brother, compos
ing the St. Louis stock brokerage tlrm
j of Ewing Brothers, and Messrs. Hall
I and Hodgden, prominently identified I
with St. Louis Interests, are the prin
cipals in the syndicate which will prob
ably purchase the controlling Interest
in the St. Louis American league base- j
ball club from Robert Lee Hedges.
Adklns engineered the deal, and It j
was through him the offer was made
to Hedges.
A special committee, representing;
the American league, will go to St.
Louis to ascertain the standing of the
new candidates for membership. If
all is satisfactory, Hedges will be au
| thorized to sell.
Incidental to the probable change
in ownership It was said at the annual
meeting of the league today, that
Fielder Jones may become manager
of the club. Jones is still operating
a farm in Oregon, and has refused to
play for Chicago because the money
I was not sufficient.
The American league settled Its
business promptly today, but the Na
tional league meeting will continue to
morrow.
TENSEY TO MANAGE DOVES
The purchase of the Boston Na
tionals will probably be consummated
by Saturday. Partial payment has
been made by W. H. Russell and L.
H. Page, a millionaire Boston publish
er. The agreement was that Harris
could retain ownership until after the
present league meeting when the club
will formally change hands.
Mr. Russell said Fred Tenney would
manage the team next season and
would play first base If his legs per
mitted. He added there would be four
or rive changes in the personnel.
"No club will sell at any price a
good player," said Mr. Russell, "there
fore we must develop our own. We
will first devote all of our energies to
giving Boston a winning team."
The National league appointed Presi
dent Lynch, Barney Dreyfus of Pitts
burg, and Secretary Heydler as a
schedule committee. They will meet
President Johnson of the American
league in January and arrange a
schedule.
Garry Herrmann of Cincinnati was
indorsed for chairman of the National
committee.
