Wild Bill Donovan May Sign With Cards Xew York, Dec. 22.—"William ("Wild Bill'"* Donovan, manager of the Xev\ York American League Baseball Club for the last three years, will be manager of the St. Douis' Xational Club next season, ac cording to persistent, but uncon firmed, reports here yesterday. Mil ler Huggins, manager of the Car dinals, recently was named as Don ovan's successor here. Branch Rickey, of the Cardinals, and Donovan have long been friends and Jt is said that the deal soon ■will be consummated. When Rickey's efforts to sign Jack Hen dricks, of the Indianapolis club of the American Association as a;:er of his team failed negotiations were opened at once with Donovan, r ceording to the reports. Kill Big Elk After Keeper's Narrow Escape Allentown, Pa., Dec. 22.—Tha lord ly 1,000-pound elk which was the king of the herd in Colonel Harry C. Trexler's game park was shot by .Squire George H. Harder, who acted as executioner because the animal had treed Oliver Fry, the gramekeep cr, and killed a roival elk besides. The slain bull was rated by sportsmen as the finest In all America. He was the first elk to be planted in the park whep It was established by Colonel Trexfer, in 1911 and was secured from Austin Corbin's Blue Mountain game range in New Hamp shire.

With that hold however, he was a terror In the ring against most of his opponents. While he had several ways of handling men on whom he had got this hold, the photograph here shows It very well. He took a man who was lying face down and reaching for tho opponent's right foot with his left hand twisted tt so the pain was excruciating. He could easily break the ankle, and if the victim failed to roil over on his back his ankle would be broken. But almost every man on whom he secured the hold turned over before his ankle was broken. jportli&hi &antlanaj&ce Copyright, 1 >l7, Th Tribune Association tNev York Tribunal* An Ail-Time All-Star Team NO. B.—TIIE ROUNDUP Catcher —Buck Ewing—New York-Cincinnati. Pitcher —Christy Mathewson —New York. # First base—Fred Tenney—Boston. Second base—Eddie Collins —-Philadelphia-Chicago. Shortstop—Hans Wagner—Pittsburgh. Third base —Jimmy Collins—Boston. Outfield— Ty Cobb, Detroit; Tris Speaker, Boston-Cleveland; Willie Keeler, Baltimore. A FEW ARGUMENTS There are only a few spots open to rebuttal in the above array. There | are logical arguments to be offered that Hal Chase or Frank Chance should | displace Fred Tenney at first. But in the way of batting and fielding records, Tenney wins. It might be argued that Mike Kelly should displace Tris Speaker or Willie Keeler. But those who have watched the game closely for over thirty years—those who have qualified as keen students of all around ability—pick Speaker and Keeler. might be argued that Radbourne or Johnson or Alexander was a greater pitcher than Mathewson. But we'll string with Matty against the field. STARS TiEFT IX ACTION From this arrav four of the nine men are still left for active service. They are Eddie Collins, Hans Wagner, Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker with Wagner at the end of the long highway. So Collins, Cobb and Speaker will \>e the sole survivors within another year. Mathewson is still in the game as a manager, w T here he has already shown great ability. The others have completed their day. Four of the nine men were sucessful managers and two others turned down major league managerial offers. One was a star back in the 80's. Buck Ewing. Three others, Tenney, | Jimmy Collins and Keeler, earned most of their fame between 1890 and 1900. Still another, Wagner, began starring in 1896, and continued the i process for exactly twenty years. NORMAL AVERAGES The normal batting averages of this infield would be around .340. In their best years it would be above .350. The normal batting averages of the outfield would be around .365. In their best years it would be over .400. A battery composed of Mathewson and Ewing would have an overflow | supply of brains sufficient to make up two or three clubs. I Stamina is another feature of this array, for most of them served I longer than a dozen years, and none of them lasted less than ten as stars. Averages built over the long trail could only count in such a line-up, for two or three years of brilliancy could hardly be matched against twelve j or fifteen years of stardom. THE VERDICT The above is the verdict arrived at after discussions with managers, j players and writers who have seen a big section of the long parade, and 'iwho are therefore able to compare the stars of to-day with the best men i of forgotten years. Out of the thousands of fine players who have made up the rollcall of j I the game since 1870 it would seem impossible to pick nine men and award j ! them the olive wreath. In several instances the margin among three or j four is slight. „ , , .. But as far as deductions, observations, records and opinions go. the i cast named isn't very far away from an all-time, all-star round up, picked j for ability, stamina, brains, aggressiveness and team value. It it doesn't stick, just what name from the above could you drop" L HIS FAIiTi NOT rNCHECKKD j Two insurance agents—a Yankee I and an Englishman—were bragging f about their rival methods.

CARLISLE OPENS PIH SCHEDULE Only One Change Over That of This Year; Penn Has Game Pittsburgh, Dec. 22. —The 191S University of Pittsburgh football schedule has about been completed and Is almost a duplicate of last year's with the exception of games played at home and abroad. The University of Pennsylvania team ' will appear against Pitt at Pitts j burgh October 26 i none t>f the three | big home games of the year. The { other two are with Washington and ! JeffetKon and Pennsylvania State College. Penn has met Pitt three times in football and the proteges of Glenn Warner have been victori ous in every encounter. Two of the games have been played in Philadel phia. The game here last year drew 25,000 spectators. The Carlisle Indians are likely to open the season locally, playing October 5. West Virginia Univer sity is then met October 12. A game with Syracuse University at Syracuse is scheduled for October 19, this coming before the Penn game. Drliigh lias Game Lehigh is to be played at South Bethlehem November 2 and then i comes the championship struggle j with W. and J. November 9. Carne j gie Tech is the attraction Novem ber 16 and Penn State plays its twentieth annual game here Thanksgiving Day. The schedule in cludes eight games. The Carlisle Indians are a new attraction. West minster and Bethany have been dropped. Pitt's 1917 football season was a success so far as victories are con cerned, but did not measure up to former years from a financial stand point. War conditions caused a big drop in gate receipts and as a result u general retrenchment policy will be adopted. The basketball sched ule will be about as heavy as usual, but it is probable that intromural baseball will replace varsity con tests. The track schedule will not be tampered with as this sport is -looked on as second only in impor tance to football. Wrestling will be dropped, but swimming and tennis teams will be maintained as usual. Many of the athletes in all branches of sport have entered the service. Of the varsity basketball squad of eight, three remain. More ■ than half the members of the track | team are in the service. ' Major General Clement Not Reinstated at the Hearing Before Board I Washington, Dec. 22.—A further weeding of incompetent and unfit of ficers from the Army was announced yesterday when Surgeon General j Gorgas ordered the elimination of all I medical officers not measuring up to strict standards. Surgeon General Gorgas considers as incompetent all officers not fully qualified to perform their duties be cause of "mental and physical in capacity, bad habits rfnd laziness." The determination of Secretary Baker, of the War Department, to raise the standards of officers in all branches of the military establish ment has been evident In several arms of the service. The heaviest blow has fallen on the National Guard, and the service orders pub lished daily by the adjutant general have, during the last three weeks, carried hundreds of discharged offi cers in the National Guard ranging from second lieutenants to major generals. "Honorable discharges" in the Na tional Guard have been most frequent In the southern and central states, although no state has escaped the ranking of the expert examiners of the War Department. The case of Major General Charles M. Clement, who was honorably discharged be cause of physical disability, was re opened after Major General Charles Mulr had been ordered to Camp Han cock to assume command of the Pennsylvania National Guard divi sion, but the board of review at the department decided yesterday to up hold the devision of the examiners. By the provision of General Gor gas' order, officers assigned to duties that they cannot competently perform because of unsuitable previous train ing will be transferred and tried In other positions. If then unable to do satisfactory work, they will be re ported to the surgeon general as unfit and sent before a board with a view to their discharge from the service.

The season opens Just after the | holidays with a game v.-ith the Naval Academy quintet at Annapolis. The Allentown Ambu lance Corps team the "Usaacs," are also on the list. The team is the same as the one that played a few games last year with the exception of the. presence of "Gus" Welsh, noted Car- 1 lisle Indian star, now a lieutenant at Camp Meade. The majority of the players are from the law school and the team as at present organized ought to be called the "All Phila deiphian." Dunn to Jump Center The center Is Francis A. Dunn, prominent football and athletic star, former athletic director at Elkins Park, Massilon Tigers, Domfsch, a Central High, Philadelphia cage star, is one forward and Seunder, who played with the Reading liigh cham pionship team in 19X5, is the other.

"Boobooks" Still Threaten Fair United States Do you know what a boobook Is? Are you otiose? Is the logic of all this ineluctable? Yes 7 Then you will not need a glossary to read former Gov. Chase Osborne's formal announcement of his candi dacy for the United States Senate. The Sault Ste. Marie man who can drive more men to the dictionary than Theodore Roosevelt has pre sented his political creed to the peo ple of Michigan. He proclaims his belief in woman suffrage, prohibition, organized labor, a world alliance. He charges that on preparedness the Senate and House sat with fold ed arms In an "otiose dream." (Otiose means idle, ineffective.) Beware of the "800 Book." He believes in "protecting the country from boobooks." + (Boobook, a little red owl, found in Australia and Tasmania; so called because of its hoot.) "It is ineluctable that our govern ment will be just what me make It," he says. (Ineluctable means inescapable, unavoidable, inevitable.) Mr. Osborn's announcement reads In part: "I am a Republican candidate in Michigan for United States Sena tor. "To some extent I have a public record. It reflects to a degree my equipment, my temperament, my character and my views. "It is deplorable that our leaders have been without vision as to the necessity for preparedness and that certain members of both Senate and House sat complacently with folded arms as in a otiose dream. Rut now the country is doing so well in every respect that there needs only to be confidence and sustained co operation to win the war for our Nation and our faith.

WILLARD NAMES TERMS FOR FIGHT Red Cross Bout Must Be Ten Rounds With No Decision Chicago, Dec, 22.—Under the new i conditions just announced for hisj bout for the benefit of the Red Cross j there Is little chance for Jess Willard ! | parting with the heavyweight cham pionship. Willard is willing to meet any man in the world, but the affair is to be a 10-round, no-decision go. Before Willard declared his willing ness to step into the ring again, Mike Collins, manaKer of Fred Ful ton, had this day set apart for hisi boxer to claim the heavyweight title. I Regarding this Willard said: "You can tell Fearless Fred I'm here and ready to talk business. I'm prepared to fight anybody who thinks he has a chance. I think I'm the best heavyweight, and If I'm not I want to find out about it. I'll consider any propositions. Fearless Fred looks as good to mo as any of the heavy weights." Willard does not want to fight be fore spring. He said he doesn't know of any building big enough to put on the sort of a bout he wishes to stage for the Red Cross, Benefit Comes First "T want to put on a big benefit bout for the Red Cross, and in order to accommodate the crowd that un doubtedly would be eager to see such a contest I think It would be neces sary to stage the bout in an outdoor arena ,or possibly in one of the big ball parks. "I don't ca.i - <r so much for the 20- round stuff, so thin match will have to be a 10-round affair. Just as much money can bo realized from a short bout. "I still hope to have a battle with Carpentier, the French champion. 1 think that would be the biggest kind of an attraction. 1 am told that he now weighs 200 pounds, and that there wouldn't be such a difference in weight as there might have been a year or so ago. ' "He can do all the claiming he wants to so far as the title is con cerned. I'm here. I won't even deny his story that he once knocked me out. He can have a chance to try again." Secretary Baker to Review 30,000 Camp Meade Boys Tamp Meade, Md., Dec. 22.—Secre tary Baker, of the War Department, will visit the camp this afternoon and review the more than 30,000 troops here. The Secretary and Gen- I eral W. J. Nicholson, acting: com i mander of the camp, will be the re viewing officers, and Brigadier Gen eral Everard E. Hatch will command the troops. The review will be open to the public, and it is expected there will be a throng of persons from Bal timore, Washington and other places. Not more than 5 per cent of the men will obtain leave to go away at Christmas. The men who are grant ed furloughs will leave camp in small detachments. General Nicholson will strive to make it possible, by send ing them away in small detachments, to have all of them spend at least a few hours at home some time during the Christmas holidays.
