Northeast Illgh Cbach George Johnson, who drilled the BL.tiM Northeast High football team Into form to win' the Ellis Qlmbel trophy, has chosen the men above Indlcnted for the 19U all-scholastic football team. Johnson has limited his choice to the four public high schools and may pick a team con lstlng of players from all the Philadel phia high and preparatory schools In the near future. The personnel of the first team, however, would not have been changed had other echools been Included, with the possible exception that Green, of Catholic High, a former Exeter player, would probably have landed the centre position. Johnson cannot bo accused of being partial in choosing so many North east men for the first team, since In the Northeast High-Central High game each Red and Black linesman outplayed his opponent, except Thomns, who was Just about able to hold his own ngnlnst Wlrk man, of Central. Central High, It must bo remembered, was largely a one-man team, with "Billy" Stephens performing In the stellar role. Irt choosing the ends. Johnson had some excellent material In Bretthaupt and Wit son, of Northeast; De Long, of Central, and Scholes, of West Philadelphia. Many fan maintain that Scholes ahouM win a plnc on the first loam because of Ills wonderful drensivu work In the Olmbel Cup same, stopping: even Stephens on attempted end run In tee Central-West Philadelphia. Scholes w. unfortunately, severely hurt dur ing tha first half nf both these. cla.aaW.-s and . naa little opportunity to snow nis versatility t the wins position.

Philadelphia gained nn unexpected vic tory over Boston In the Intercity doubles racquets match nt tho Racquet Club this morning by winning two matches to one, nine games to Ave. Two of tho matches could not have been moro closely con- ! tested and the form displayed by G. H. Brooko and, J. W. Ware in the one match nnd C S. Bromley nnd A. J. D. Paul In the other was a revelation. At the last minute Bromley substituted for It. K. Cassatt, who was unabla to piny, owing to business engngements, nnd It wns un doubtedly tho form that Bromley dis played that gave Philadelphia the vic tory. He never played a better all round game In his life anil with Paul In good form they Just pulled through from a strong pair In Hugh Scott nnd It, L. Agasslz by three games to two. The match that attracted the most atten tion, nt course, was the one between George II. Ilrooko and J. tV. Ware, representing Itilladelnhla, and C. L. Jutchlns and J. Cut lr, of Doston. It was thought that Brooke and Ware hail not had sufficient practice, but practice cr no practice, they gave a good account of themselves by beating the Hos tonlans bv threo games to two. The first game they won quite handily by 15 aces to 1), a run of nine aces In Ware's hand at the ending of the game being a..dcclctedly brilliant onn Tne secoml gamo tvas won even more easily by the Phlladelphlans, and runs of six and four ares early In the gamu placed the result practically beyond doubt. So strong a lead was established by the Racquet Club pair In the next gamo that It looked very much as If they would win In straight games. In Ware first hand a run of 8 aces was made, four of which were from his service. How ever. In Cutler's hand the Fostonlans made a run of 11 acres, Brooke and Waro failed to score In their next handa. and their op ponents scored a lone ace. Only one was added by the Bostonians. but Brooke and ware again took the lead with a run of four be fore being put out, They were unable to score again, however, and the Boatontans won their first game, IS to 13. The next gams was the beat contested of the nvu Brooke and Ware started off wlffi a lead of flje aces to three, but a f.no run of 11 aces by their opponents left them well In tho rear. In the net few hands nrooke and Wnro did all the scoring, and, with runs of three end five acris, they got on even terms with their opponents, thirteen all, Set three was CKllwl. and the rhlladelphlans added one more ace before being put out, and they did not havo another chance, as their oppo nents ran out the game. For a long tlms iho result of the third game was In doubt, Brooko and Ware estab lished a lead of 8 aces to 3, but their op pohents came back with a run of p and maS the score 0 to T. Although they had two or three more cuanews ui Bcui,iR. im, ; ..-..... do so and Brooke and War ran out the game, 7 n n-iu n. fBnlr nuM h found with tha I winners.

Pigeon-shooting, tho forerunner of modern trapshooling, wits a popular sport In England during the last century. It una mentioned in the Sporting Magazine, London, aa early as 1753, and referred to as having already nn established repu tation. Tho "Old Hat." n famous Dubllc house lit Ealing, was for many years a favorlto rendezvous of plgeon-shtoters, but Inter the Ilcd Houso at Uattersea took precedence because It was more easily accessible to Londoners. "To those who foci anxious on the subject of pigeon-shooting," thn Sportsmen's Cyclo pedin (London, ISIS) recommends a vlBlt to the Red House, "where the business Is pursued In the first style of excel lence." Lofds nnd captnlns lent nn air of fashion to the activities of the place, and on the establishment of the Hullng hnm Club at Fulham tho amusement was raised higher than before in general favor. It has now been superseded by trapshootlng, the name of which is of American origin, and Inanimate targets, tho product of American Inventiveness, have accordingly been substituted for llvo birds. Of course. In all this history, there have beon !!U?F".li,l!I.. ,aB'"- Tha traps In us at tho OKI Hat were thallow boxes, each about one foot long and eight or 10 Inches wide, sunk in the ground lovel with the surface. A sliding lid wns operated by pulling a string, thus liberating the bird. Among the famous pigeon-shooters of that day was Richard loonier, to whom Mr. Johnson referred in his Cyclopedia: "The exploits which R. Toomer performed in shooting with such apparent csbc soon convinced the persons who bsw them, that tiny were done methodically; and this wsa completely ascertained by his frequently suf fering himself to bo blinded with a. double handkerchief over his eyes, after haying taken hla aim, and then to Are and hit a small ob lect. " In lK-'ll plueon-shnotlne was mentlniid In th records of the Sportsmen's Club. Cincinnati, and In the forties and a few decades thereafter It flourished in New York and Its vicinity, The Invention and adoption of Inanimate tar gets followed, though the older pastime waa not at onc abandoned. A Boston man. Charles Portlock. orlclnateil tho use of the glass balls for target shooting ubout 1SSH. A Philadel phia!!, a few years later, invented a target tons ntlns of a pasteboard disc, n. few Inches hi diameter, with tha ctnere cut out to admit a small rubber balloon. Punctured balloon, "dead bird." Clay dlrcs were the next Inno vation, but because they were of unequal hard ness and because the traps were mechanically deficient, th sport of trapshootlng camo near giving up the ghost. Targets arn now mad of river silt end tar and bear the mima of "clay pigeons." Plank Wants Too Much CHICAGO.

EAST SIDE CHURCH LEAGUE. W. L. raui 3 i P.C. .7M) Personal Touches in Sports Tho Penn-Cornell game proied conclusively that It Is possible for a team to really play a better game than they know. This seems logically absurd, yot It Is nevertheless true that tho Red and Blue, probably drlicn to, the point of desperation Ly the stinging defeats earlier In the season and by repeated criticism, suddenly advanced in nil-round efnclency lar beyond tho expectations of their most san guine followers. They iiossersed In that con test a spirit Identical with that of the beast who Is drlvan to tho wall. They fought for their football lives, as It were, and tn so doing won back much of the. prestige which they lost In the Dartmouth Bud Michigan games. In Philadelphia Penn has not been as popular this year as In the past because It was the general belief that they were not fighters, Cer tainly th men did not fight hard In most of tholr games, but In the Cornell game, every one who cares to see Penn win was highly elated at tho splendid and sustained effort which the men put Into Their work. Captain Journeay was tho man who made the team fight. He set them nn example by getting Into ovcry play posslblo and by using every ounco nf energy that ho possessed. His work brought htm the Just praise which a lineman often loses becauso the public usually only sees Ihe man running with tho ball. It Is to be hoped that next season the fighting spirit of Al Journeay will remain with the team and carry them through a victorious season. The comparatively small amount of betting on today's game was the direct result of last years' contest. The Navy went Into the fray at the Polo Grounds 111 1U13 a 2 to 1 favorite, but tho "dope" was wrong, the 'Army walking away with an easy victory. Ray Caldwell, the Tankee pitcher, who la the latest nts'spaper acquisition of Connie Mack, haa not been given tho credit, outalde of New York, for hla brilliant work In the box. Those who know tno metropolitan ooosung .meinoas roaliss that every man who plays baseball tn Now Y'o.-k Is a wonder, according to the scribes. Therefore, when a real pitcher does great work his feats are underrated by tha public, rn the theory that the papers are merely crying "wolf" again. But Caldwell Is one of the game's great pitchers. With a win. nlng club which has tha batting strength of the Athletics he would not lose any more gamej tn a season than Walter Johnson did In 1 lnia. White local fans would not car tn baa Tlube Oldrlng and Jack Lapp'leave, they should tie glad for tha Mackmen to have Caldwell on the hurling staff. Tha need fur better handling of crowds at big high school games was clearly demon strated when Central High and Northeast played on Houston field for the Glmbel Cup. Thero wer between 10,000 and. 12,000 persons 5 resent. The stands seat approximately 8000. 'ha other five to seven thousand were banked aroui d the field. On the. west side there is nu fenc nor any obstruction to prevent the field being deluged with spectator. That Is Just what happened. Through the game an Insufficient number of mounted policemen at tempted to keep the crowd back of the aid lines, but they wera unequsl to the task. In tha last period there was a solid mass of humanltv on tha west end of the field as far a the 40-yard line.

More than that, they give you the effect and the benefit of two cars, at a cost of mtle more than one. Thus is partially explained tha eg. cellent fall business we are doing. Almost every Hupmoblle buyer or ders one of the demountable tops as a matter of course, seeing ahead a winter of really pleasant driving-. Though readily detaehable. these tops are finished within with all tha trlmness that characterises, the costly limousine. They are free of rattle, most sub stantially built, with best coach glass windows, wide doors and plenty of bead-room. Where women and ehllrtrep are con eerned. their eoiy pretention from wind and rain aad storms makes them a necessity. A touring car fitted with the sedan top i now on display. Please call aad see it
