(Harvard's Famous Captain and All-American ok of 1912-13-14.) a N selecting an All-American football team for the | seasan of 1921, the writer has been able to base his selections on personal observation, with one exception. That is in the case of Muller of California. I have had discussions with coaches and officials who have watched Muller's work this year and have con- cluded that he is fully entitled to a position on the All-American, The first requisite of an end is his offensive value in being able to handle the defensive tackles. Most - ends have this difficulty, They seém to be able to get down under kicks, breaking up plays on defense and receiving forward passes, but when it comes to taking out big tackles they are greatly handicapped. The full team 1s as follows: Left Guard...........-Anderson (Notre Dame) | Left Tackle. . Keck: (Princeton) | Stein (Pittsburgh) | | | MCMILLAN, LEFT HALF BACK LIVE WIRES By Neal R. O’Hara.

M°GUIRE, RIGHT TACKLE McLaughlin’ s 17- Year-Old Son Rides Three Winners at Havana Two young jockeys had exceptional days on the track yesterday. At Jefferson Park, New Orleans, Chester Lang won the last three races on the At Oriental Park, Havana, Jockey McLaughlin, the en- teen-year-old son of the once famous rider, Jimmy McLaughlin, rode three winners, and it was his good horsemanship that enabled all three of his mounts to score. In the third race he rode Huntress like a Tod Sloan, and by putting up one of the most sensational finishes of the season landed his mare home the victor by a nose. Fireworth was second and Marion Hollins fin id third, a simil distance behind Fireworth. McLaughlin's two other winning mounts were Inquiry and Mildred, Two of Lang’s mounts at New Orleans, Escarpolette and Sweepy, are the property of J. L. Holland, and this owner acquired three victories during the day, Goodhart also wifning for him in the third race. Lang got going in the next event, and from that time until the final on which he did not have the mount hadn't the i He counted first on Escarpolette, which was also a favorite among a quartet of starters.

The Giants really are big losers on \\ the proposition of having the Yankees play on their grounds, though to the average fan two separate baseball plants in New York seem unneces- y. The fan doesn't stop to con- that in order to permit of two side clubs using the Polo Grounds the schedules for the season in both leagues muat be made to fit their needs, There can be no conflicting dates, et when it would be more ad er the Giants or » Yankees to play at home with a good attraction they have to move out n for each other and be- the visiting team in a not « profitable series elsewhere. Witt own grounds this would be avoided, In the matter of Sunday games, the gest of the week from an attend- standpoint, the Giants suffer un- d the pr nt conditions. They now have to divide twenty-five of those dates with the Yanks, alternating, or taking thirteen of them. Because three cities on the National League circuit have no Sunday ball they are jotten fo to remain idle in Phila- delphia, Boston or Pittsburgh, while the Yanks are using the Polo Grounds }on profitable Sabbath days. The |American circuit has more Sunday towns, and the Yankees are not quite so mueh up against it in a financial when th on the road. With the two teams on their own grounds. schedules would be more istactorily arranged. Of course there would be conflicts in dates. Rivalry would be intensified, and the question of patronage would depena on the teams. The -better team very | probably would get the bigger crowds, thelr respective positions in the race would count, and the calibre of their opponents would figure with the fans. It would be possibly a 50-50 proposi- tion, but the chances are there would be enough general patronage to divide. The Giants would be in a position to &xpect a better allotment of Sun y dates and so would the Yanks Rach club might enjoy privileges sim- ilar to those of the Brooklyn club. which gets as many as seventeen o, |elghteen Sundays on its schedule, It's no mathematical problem to fig- |ure out seventeen Sundays, with say an average 26,000 attendance agains: about ten with 80,000, as the crowd: roughly estimated ‘on Sundays last season, There is no doubt that both teams would be better off with separate stadiums, for even when they are out of town some other use might be made of the grounds, whereas it is impos- sible now during the playing season. $125,000 TO BE SPENT ON POLO GROUNDS IMPROVEMENTS. Contemplated improvements on the Polo Grounds looking toward an in crease in the seating capacity to 50,000 cannot be attempted by spring. It was planned to extend the grand stand on either side and erect new concrete bleachers, running from deep outfield all the way back to Eighth Avenue utilizing ali the wasted space between the present clubhouses and the field. ‘This work will have to go over for an, other year because material, unless contracted for long ago, cannot be de- livered in time to begin the job. But just the same some $125,000 will be spent in making ‘mprovements that are considered absolutely necessary. The stairway leading from the Speed- way entrance, which last fall was ap- proaching the rickety stage, will be eplaced by a steel and concrete run way.
