"War Sorig ! R 2304 / ~N WORLD'S CHAMPION. Li'l Artha Still Holds That He is the Star of the Boxing World, Jack Johnson is finding the world growing small. Barred'in America, France, England, Russia, Germany, Cuba and perhaps a few other places, poor Jack has at last settled down in' Spain, where he'll find the bull fights giving him bard competition. If he was younger he might make a wonderful bull fighter, for he cer- tainly had the eye, the strength of wrist and skill in time and movement that the sport demanded. As it ds, he's trying to earn a living with the gloves in a land that specializes in cold steel. - Christy Mathewson, writing in a New York paper, says; The National © before another season will do Nei} to Fomeny wo things that Place 4 great advantage in rivalry with the American . Ome of these defects is the twenty-one-play- er limit; the other is the lax inter pretation of the balk rule. .. The world's championship series between the pennant winners of the two leagues has become a permanent institution; it is as great as either league. - And as long as the National League allows these two handicaps I speak of to remain, just so long it will weaken itself for the supreme test in baseball prowess that comes with each recurring October, "It would be foolish, would it not," safd Manager McGraw of the Giants the other day, "to give a fel- low equally as strong and fast as yourself ten yards handicap in a hun- dred-yard sprint? That is just what the National League does when it re- sorts to a twenty-one-player roster while the American League club are allowed to carry twenty-five eligible men all of the time. That alone," concluded McGraw, "is a 20 per cent. handicap." Besides, it must be remembered that the American League clubs are nof forced to cut to twenty-five eh- gibles before May 165. National League clubs are forced to pare down to twenty-one before May 1. That extra two weeks, I can tell you, means a great deal to a manager who is trying to reconstruct a ball team. Two weeks more leeway would cer- tainly have been a blessing to many a National League manager this sea- son. Why, we didn't have any base- ball weather until after May 1.

Golfers in the United States, on 6 whole, do mot seem to realize that their Sympathy for an indivi dual, as exemplified in Franeils Oui- met, the former open and amateur champion, is warping their judgment for a principle. In the wisdom of the United States Golf Association, it was considered important to protect the good name of the sport from those who did not hesitate to capitalize their athletic fame and to profit financially while skulking under the cloak of an ama- teur. Ouimet may not have been one of these, in spite of some circumstan- tial evidence to support it, and in my opinion (says a writer in the New York World) he is a true amateur at heart, but rules are rules. He has simply put himself in a position that automatically worked his ineligibility His prominence alone emphasized the ed to kill a crying evil. LIEUT M. E.

With the baces full Herche delivered a wild pitch. The ball struck the ground out of the catcher's reach, and, bounding up, hit the umpire's mask. Casey re- covered it quickly, and the runner on third was not able to advance, Some of the fans argued that Brans- field should have allowed the base- warmers to advance, but they were wrong. The rule covering the point is as follows: "Should a thrown or pitched ball strike the person or clothing of an umpire the ball is not dead, and base-runners.are entitled to all the bases they can make." Had the sphere rolled beyond the official the runner could have advanced, but it would have been at his own risk, ---- His Sliding Differs, Joe Gedson, the new second base- man of the New Yorks, keep the op- posing guardians guessing as to how he is going to get to the base. His manner of sliding into bases differs from partically every major leaguer now in the game. His usual method to get to the bag is to dive for it head Hest, Jooking g # with one hand and curving his body as far as possi from the baseman, Occasionally, just to fool the fellow whe expects to nail him coming into the base.
