The way Rumsey guarded "Cheny" in the T"-T" battle was alone a splendid enough performance to win him a position on the all stars, with out taking any of his other excellent work into consideration. Rumsey Is an other player that has the lid down on his temper, and never loses bis head. TJiese three were so apparently fitted ram von every game it played In the j for their positions that no time at all lime nMT,HAnrv Tn nfrin rn.in niiT rnc I choice of the remaining: forward and guard was the cause of much discus sion Bob Hoover was a wise selection, as Bob is one of the cleanest players in the federation, and a strong all around man, dependable for any emerg ency. His basket record for the tour nament was 20. totaling 40 points, against IS he made last year. Roy Ben ton was selected for the guard position for his splendid defensive work for the Bisbee Shamrocks all through the tour nament. He totaled 2 points on 13 baskets. Cbenoweth and Rumsey are the only players on the all star of 1911 to have the all star positions a second year. Second Team Is Fast, Too. The second team was selected officially as follows: Jose Peralta, Y. M. C A., center: Lee Evans, Y. M. C. A forward; Vern Lyman, E. P. Hi &, forward: La mar Thomas. Y. M. C. A., guard; "Wen dell Kuhn. E. P. M. I., guard. Peralta is unquestionably the best r.nt.r KMVinH tn tfi., nn(nTanhl. .TAhn- ( son. and is the 'immediate choice for center for the second team. Jose has the jump oTer every other center, ia gooa on floor work, and has generaled his men with great ability. Lee Evans is a steady, cool little player, quick on his feet, there with the shots, and good at team work. Vern Lyman's tendency to play too much individually, rather than as one fifth of a team, was all that kept him from a first team nlace. Lamar thomas and Wendell Kuhn were given their po sitions for their consistent playing of the guard position. Points That Were Scored. The basket makers records are: John son, E. P M I.. 41 baskets. 82 points. Chenoweth, E. P. X. L. 25 baskets. 10 free throws. 60, points. Hoover. E. P. M. T , 20 baskets. 40 points. John, Hagard.

Three of the "I." placers were given positions on the "all star southwestern if"-., the picking of which follows as a chronological sequence, with the championship title and trophy disposed of. The official all star team was picked out after the final game was played. The officials of the teams represented, and Thf Herald basketball reporter, hld a onference, each submitting an all star team. The all star southwest ern decided upon was identical with but one exception to The Herald's se lection. ,a The Team PlekeO. Officially. The following Is the official team: Mortimer Johnson, E. P. M. I, center; Wayne Chenoweth. E. P. M. L, forward; Robert Hoover, E. P. M. L forward; Lace Rumsey, Y. M. C A. guard; Roy Benton. Bisuee Shamrocks, guard. Of these Johnson. Chenoweth and Rumsey were the unanimous choice. Johnson is without doubt the best cen ter that has ever played in El Paso.

Jornson was picked last jear on the all far New Kngiand team, and holds the THIS from Jim Jeffries over the Associated Press shows how misery loves company: "The in ability of Abe Attell to 'come back' has aroused the sympathy of James J. Jeffries, who sent the following dis patch to promoter James Coffroth rel ative to the Attell-'Harlem' Tommy Murphy bout here on March. "'Jim: Don't call off Attell fight Give him a chance to redeem himself. Worst he should have got was k draw, as he chased Kilbane all over the ring. Do this for me. Abe is still champion here, old pal.' " Very nice, Jim. Maybe Abie will reciprocate and get you another chance with the big black cloud. Bowling scores in the tournament at Los Angeles were disappointing. It wss ever thus in a tournament. There will be a lull after the storm now In fistic -affairs. We have had so many things served up to us of late that we hare developed a million dollar taste for fights and are quite blase in our attitude toward the 'lit tle mills." True there are one or two bouts down the vista that are worthy of no tice. First in appearance is the Packey McFarland-One Round Hogaa mill to be fought in New Y'ork on March 5. This has the proper whiz concomitant for a first class mill. While Hogan was trimmed by Wolgast so fast that it took a stop watch to clock It. still he has fought several good mills, his most recent note worthy event being a draw with Har lem Tommy Murphy over the 20 round course. After the battle both men al most hollered the roof off the build In?, claiming that he had gotten the worst of it in the matter of a deci sion, so it is a pretty safe bet that the decision was just about right. It looks from here as though Mc Farland will get his usual 10 round win. He is far too clever to let a comparative novice like Hogan slip anything OTer on him over this dis- . ly engage in a battle when he was tance, no matter how good Hogan may ! no wore fit for a professional fight i OB- than is the writer. He risked his ti- i tie. easy money and almost everything Best All-Around Player in the History of the Gams Tells What He Considers the Most Remarkable Diamond Feats He Ever Performed Another bout turther in the distance is that between Carl Morris and Jim Stewart, scheduled for March 20. Mor ris and Stewart .both are affiliated with that expansive band, known as "white hopes," although it is the pop ular opinion that both of them are more or less dubs. Still, it is interesting. And if the "white hopes" want to chase each other round and round in a circle It's none of our business and we will watch if they will work. Our opinion of nothing to, get ex cited about is the 'white hope" sit uation. My goodness, but won't this Mex ican situation lose caste when the ma jor league baseball season opens. Clark Griffith has signed more new youngsters than any other manager in the American league. Any young ster who ha 8 any ability at all can get a major league try out with the Washingtons. Stanley Ketchel. who probably is entitled to the rank of the greatest American fighter, was one who prob ably took as little care of himself as any man who ever fought profession ally and became a champion. Ketchel stands in decided contrast to the champions of today, who. for the most part, even up to Jack John son, are sober and careful .of their biggest financial asset, which is their physical self. With Steve Ketchel fighting was something of a side line t,o having a good time. He has told the writer dozens of times that he enjoyed a fight but detested the weeks of train ing prior to a championship mill. Gradually, as he cleaned more and more aspirants, be tecame more care less of his physical condition in each successive mill. The- writer has seen Ketchel actual- eise, trusting p" iu ms ouuaog &c- nacity. just because be did not like , to train. That is how Billy Papke i scored .the only defeat Ketchel ever received, save that by Jack Johnson, a man many pounds his superior. That one defeat by Papke awakened Ketchel for a while and he wired the writer from Los Angeles then that lie never would come back to the east until he had retrieved the champion-. ship. (BY TY COBB) It is pretty hard for a ball player to write about the greatest plays he ever made. If be didn't make an oc casional good play he wculd have to get out of the business, because that is what he is hired for. And a player in Ketchel trained rigorously, with I tne ordinary run of the luck makes so the logical result of a comparatively easy victory. In doing this he vio lated, for the first time, the precedent that no champion who Has lost his ti tle can regain it. Ketchel proved to the 'world that he was a violator of all ring precepts or precedents. 5ut, under the lax management of Willis Britt Ketchel fell into his old ways. He preferred the soft money In New York and the White Way to western living and western fights. Just before he was killed in Mis souri he was pale and drawn from his New York life and had been ad vised by a doctor to take a long rest. And there never was a fighter more a friend to a friend than Ketchel or more an enemy to an enemy. He had both by the scores. When the record of every other fighter who was born in America, a fighter above 150 pounds Is compared witb KetcheTs. it frill be found that the Grand Rapids. Mich., boy's deeds of ringism will top all. He was the greatest American fighter. On, that we had a few more Ilka him. The United States league looks lika a fllwer. We must smoke up We're Going out.

In any case, since the public has asked me this question it will pardon me for trying to an swer it as briefly and simply as I can. Yes. Rather Unusual, Ty. In a game at Cleveland in 1909 I was fortunate to score under circum stances that were a bit unusual. De troit was one run behind when I came up to bat in the ninth inning. I hit sharply to short, who lagged on the throw so that it fell by first base. I was safe and immediately afterward stole second. I saw that the throw to second was bad, so I kept oa to third. Here I decided to take a chance on a bad- throw, and started for home. As I expected, the throw to third was hurried and a trifle wild, so I man aged to beat out the throw home by a hair, thus tying the score. Detroit finally won the game. In Philadelphia In the season of 1910 I was on first when Delahanty singled. By doing the hurryup act I managed to get home on this, dodging Thomas at the plate by a very close play. In the same citv in 1911 I had great luck in base stealing on one occasion. The Athletics were one run to the good when I got on first base, and as their pitcher was in great form and I could scarcely expect a safe hit to bring me home I had to steal. I did manage to steal second and third and finally slid home with the tying run, though they beat us out in the finish. When Cobb Pasted Rube. In batting my mind always goes hack to the now celebrated 1 7 -inning tie "which we played in Philadelphia in 1907. Rube Waddell was pitching and when I went to the plate I felt none too sure of the outsome. as it "was the ninth inning and the Phillies were In the lead. However, something had to be done, so I made a desperate try at one of Rube's fast ones, and I can as sure you I felt greatly relieved "when I saw the ball sailing into the distance for a home run and knew that defeat was changed at least to a tie. In fielding I remember very well an incident in Washington toward the close of the 1S09 season. Detroit had six games to play and had to win five of them to be sure of the pennant. The score was 3-2 in favor of Detroit There was a man ter at the plate hit a low, hard lines t field. If it went safe the runner would score and the game would ba tied. When I started after it ther didn't seem to me one chance in 100J of my getting it. However, I was de termined to try for it. 1 had to run and dive for it, landing flat on my face, but I caught the ball and ths game was a victory for Detroit. Base ball Magazine.
