The Old Fox suggested a duel in the shape of a pinochle game, and beat th first sacker handily. Hoblitzel took his medicine like a man and signed with- out a whimper. If Griff is that kind of a pinochle shark, it would never do to have the managers play off any tie prop- ositions with the cards that meld so easily for some, but not for othe Patsy Donovan, the Boston Ameri- can League club's new manager, has re- id the members of his m to be vaccinated before going on their spring training tri Done to go through th kees had last season. ahead for the Red Sox! the leg or the arm, Patsy? Fred Lake, of the Doves, says he wants a club of young bloods, and that it's the plank for most of the old boys. May be good stuff, but it’s mighty luck for a number of clubs we cou’ mention that they still have a few old reliables on their pay-roll. Clark Griffith is said to be as sore as a New Yorker when asked if he lives in Brooklyn, because the rules committee didn’t adopt his idea of keeping umpires off the diamond. He claims that umpires spoil many a good play by getting into the players’ way, but the other members of the committee couldn't see it that way, A number of managers might be ned who would be perfectly satisfied if umpires were not only kept off the diamond, but off the face of the earth. id Gleason is to coach the Princeton nine this spring and says he will put winners on the diamond. Maybe the Kid will also explain to the collegians his system of up-to-date line coaching, that com- bines pugilism with a few other things. We hope he won't, however, as they might get what Gleason did for his Brooklyn exhibition last year. No, we haven't forgotten that yet, Kid! If Horace Fogel only does as well in his fight for the pennant as he does in getting inon the banquet game, the Qua- kers should be in the running this season, “* The cigarette is more harmful than in does not experience the Y Oh, happy days hall it be on Jeff promises to be there with the footwork as well as the punch on July 4th next, ch to Murphy . bat you hi whiskey, and any young man of this university who expects to make the track or football team had better cut them out now,’’ said Joseph H. Thompson, coach of the football and track teams of the University of Pittsburgh recently, in in- augurating a crusade to stamp out the cigarette among the student body. The above is not a joke. It's just good ath- letie horse sense, and any man wishing to shine in outdoor sports should read it over twice. If during the coming mix-up John- son is knocked down, would you call it a chocolate drop? Help, help! The able gentlemen who are work- ing on several schemes to make football less dangerous have about decided to eliminate the forward p Jupce sug- gests that, in addition to this dangerous play, the kick in the slats, the poke in the eye, and the jump on the chest might also be added with propriety.

Jack Johnson's trial in New York city for thrashing a diminutive black named Pin- der is to take place the latter part of July or early in August. If Misto Johnson is defeated by Jeffries and then gets a five years’ sentence for assault, it will be up to him to bid good-by to his automobiles and purchase a new rabbit's foot. If they arrest Johnson on the slightest provocation before he even starts in to train for the big fight, what will they hand him if he wins? See that hazing is to be permitted again at West Point. Those young gentlemen who have been com- plaining that football is becoming too ladylike should take no- tice of this and strive to enter the Military Academy. Under- stand a good hazing there in the palmy days used to make a football scrimmage look like a pale pink tea in an old ladies’ home. that Having been thrashed once again. old boy Fitz will resume his his- trionic labors. comicbooks.com
