of Chicago. Billy Everett, the astute manager of the Windy City organiza- ton, is responsible for getting the mems consent to face each other. To a reporter last night he said: ''I came from Chicago to see Mccoy and found him in genial mood to talk fight. Root we had secured. The Kid looked fa- vorably upon my proposition and asked for no special conditions. He looks bigger and stronger than ever before, and the people of Chicago can feel assured that they will see one of the very best bouts that has ever taken place there. The men will fight at catchweights in about four weeks. On the 14th of this month the Transport club has another attraction booked. It will be return match between Lar " Temple, Tom O'Rourke's negro, and Billy Stiff. The easy manner in which Stift subdued Temple was the biggest surprise of the year at Chi cago, and the demand was so pressing for another sgo' between them that our club consented to hang up a good sized purse"

Death recently removed one of Canadas greatest sportsmen when it claimed Henry Hogan, the veteran owner of that worlds famous hos ltelry, St. Lawrence Hall, Montreal, Canada. MT. Hogan's name was in- delibly imprinted on the story of Guebec's hunting, fishing, trapping, racing and billiard features for half Ia century, The comfortable old hotel, where I spent the evening week ago, was founded in 1851, and it's owner, hearty, hale and hospitable, had been the chief raconteur in it's roomy office since 1851.
 Few people who follow billiards irow realize what "Mother,'' as MT. Hogan was called by the old timers, did for the sport four decades ago. I1e died at the age of 82, a sports man to the last. Trophies of the woods and Canada's rocky streams were his delight. It was in the St. Lawrence Hall billiard room, then not more than big enough to accom- modate three or four tables, that the brothers Joseph and Cyrille Dion de- veloped into champions. It was at this hotel that the American party" invariably put up when called to Montreal to the great match games that were not discontinued until 1870. The prodigious hospitality and cor diality of the host of this famous tavern, together with his love for sport, provide an inexhaustible fund of "reminiscences to those who seek out some of the pilgrims of the early days in Montreal billiards.
 ssSo Mother Hogan is dead," re- marked Thomas Foley, the veteran .billiardist. 'sWell, he was a great lsoul. His range of love for sport ex- tended over wide field, comprehend- ing everything from hare to salmon, from hunter and hound to thorough bred racer and professional billiard player. We'll do I remember the championship of America played in Montreal in December, 1867. l was umpire for John McDevitt and Cy- rille was acting in the same capacity for his brother, Joseph Dion.
 ''The match was for 1,500 points, two and three-eighths-inch balls l -four of them were used), and on a sixby 12 table with four pockets. The crotch was barred and the push shot was permitted. What a cold night it was! But MT. Hogan had set the best his larder afforded before his American guests and we all went to Mechanics hall, that was crowded to suffocation, to see the championship. McDevitt won, 1,50O to 1,488, the win ner's average being 13 1S-114. Dion had the high run, 29O, while the most that McDevitt could gather in one in hing was 181.
 ssSome of the critics will always hold that I overlooked foul or something of that sort, and Me Dewitt thereby beat his man. The purse was for $1,O0o, and a great for tune in money changed hands on the result. Montreal was filled with loyal Frenchmen, who backed Dion I tc standstill.

Some Timely Sporting Gossip That
 Is of General Interest

There are several sections added re- garding the eligibility of players which concern the participants all most exclusively.
 Another little change that means a great deal to basket ball teams oc- CUTS in section six of rule seven. The words whenever foul is made the umpire shall call time'' have been changed to read "shall blow the whistle" Calling time was unfortu- nate. Often in the noise of the rush the umpire's words could not be heard so the whistle was substitut- ed There is new section relating to scoring on prepared cards or blackboards. This also is of benefit to spectators, as it affords a concise view of the technical progress of the game. Rule II, section one, elimi- mates the old scoring of three points for a goal and substitutes the orig inal score of two points. The indis- criminate method of changing men at any time during the game has been abolished Now changes can Be made only between halves after the referee and scorer have been duly notified. Goals made after a violation of the new rule will be taken away from the team scoring them without affecting the play of the other team. All of these changes are for the good of the game.

Official rules for basket ball are out. Secretary George T. Hepbron, of the A. A. U. basket ball commit tee, has carefully edited them and the thousands of teams that are pre- pairing for the winter campaign on the gymnasium and other hall floors may derive great deal of benefit from following the amended and changed rules. There is no indoor winter sport that is quite so popular as basket ball. It may be played at all seasons of the year, but the fall and winter naturally are the. best.
 In the Y. M. c. A. departments all over the country it has become west, the north and the south, and even in the great west, the prowess of the teams is well known to follow CTS of the game. Universities and colleges have taken it up and it is no uncommon thing for a basket ball team from Yale or some other big varsity to make tour of the coun- try. The revised rules are the re- suit of much thought and applica- tion. However, the changes are not
 radical enough to make trouble for veteran players.
 Among the new provisions is that the minimum sized space is to be 2,400 square feet That will provide plenty of room for fast working teams. Rule three of section five is entirely new this year. No spectator shall be permitted nearer than six feet to the goal in any direction. II Is obligatory on the part of the ref cree to enforce this sensible rule

SAVED TWO LIVES.

Ny first and only drunk" said an old member of the Brooklyn volunteer lire department, who is now the head of a big business, sssaved my life. l was so grateful as to swear off. It happened this way:
 Tn the days of the old volunteers I went through the service without ever taking a drink. That's the gospel truth. Seven years after the volun- teers were succeeded by the new paid department l got into a pretty swift set, and took my first drink Nothing happened until one day in November, 1876. have good reason to remem- Der the date. On the afternoon of that day friend of mine, Bill Pierson, and l went out for a stroll. We broke loose, somehow, and by dusk we were feeling jolly
 "On our perambulations we thought we'd like to take in a show that night to complete the racket The idea struck us as particularly fitting one. so we meandered up to the old Brooklyn the ater, that was located at the corner of Washington and Johnson streets. Kate Claxton was playing in saThe Two Or phans' that night, and it was set down as her last week in Brooklyn It came near to being her last night on earth.
 At any rate Pierson and I entered the lobby. arm in arm. and purchased two front seat tickets We pocketed the tickets and went out. Bill persist ed in keeping to the booze so I stay ed with him to keep him straight. The result was that we zig-zagged home about dinner time and went to bed. Before tumbling in we agreed that the one who. awoke first should waken the other, and after a brief doze we should go to the theater.
 My brief doze lasted until 2 o'clock the next morning. and when I awoke I was feeling what the boys call rocky Bill was still asleep, and as I didn't feel much like taking any thing else beside. se1tzer and cracked ice, lay down again and we slept un- til morning.
 "Bill and went down to breakfast together. We were scusing' ourselves because we failed to see the show. After breakfast we went out and bought morning newspapers. The headlines caused our hearts almost to suspend business The papers were full of the burning of the Brooklyn theater the night before, and the kill ing of two or three hundred people. Then swore by all that was good ana holy that I'd never touch another drop of anything intoxicating Bill looked incrednlous But finally he took the pledge with me. We have kept it sacred ever since.

When the readers of baseball news learned that Jack Chesbro, of the Pittsburg pitching staff and leading twirler of the National league, had become involved in some sort of a dispute with his comrades regard ing pitching in a post-season game, many critics jurhped to the conclu- sion that the young fellow, who pitched 28 winning games in the sea- son just closed, had become persona non grata. As matter of fact there was a great deal of justice in his claim that he should not be asked to pitch on a day that he did not feel we'll. It is wonderful how some champions in the world of sport nurse their championship honors. Chesbro, however, will attempt all sorts of pitching stunts this fall and winter on a transforming trip. He likes to pitch winning games, does this clean-cut twirler, but will be the first to congratulate rival pitcher who out-twirls him.
 Chesbro recently made trip from Pittsburg, and it was my good for tune to discuss baseball with him. He bears his seasons honors with a modest and wholly unassuming grace. "The pitcher is wonderful fellow-when he wins,' remarked Chesbro." He can go through the season with a batting average of .145 or less and the manager will pat him on the back and say: Never mind, old fellow, we hire you to pitch, the team will attend to the batting. All you have to do is to hold down the other side to five or less hits If by chance the poor pitcher lines out hit that happens to win his own game, the team gathers around him and he is immediately crowned a it- tie tin Caesar.
 "But I realize that popularity in Eends upon merit more than any thing else. Lose your ability to de liver goods,' to use the argot of the diamond, and you lose your earning power. I have not made my plans for next season. There is nothing to be gained in hastening to sign contract. True, I lead the list of pitchers this season with 28 games won, and six lost, but it will be found upon looking at the records that two of my team mates, Doheny and Tannehill, are next in the list with very good percentages, while sixth and eighth on the list are Leever and Phi1lippi, of our team. This, together with the fine batting and fielding averages of the mem bers of the pennant-winning team, had much to do with my fortune in getting percentage of 1923. A winning team makes luck. We start ed on runaway race and won the flag that way.

SLEEVE DECORATIONS.

Monograms on the sleeves were to be seen last summer, but this season there has been a sufficient demand for them to develop the fancy into what may be called fad. It is fad Tor men quite as much as for women, and with reason. The monogram upon the mans shirt is not to be seen upon all occasions, while the Woman's is al ways in evidence, as she seldom wears coat with her shirt waist. It is for this reason-that it is somewhat con- spicuous-that only the younger Wom- en have taken to the fashion. 1t is seldom that even a midd1e-aged woman indulges in shirt waist monograms The younger girls are not initialed, but for quite different reason. The fad is somewhat expensive, costing up to $1 and $1.25 for the marking of one monogram, and the little gill has not yet reached the age when her mamma cares to indulge her in fads. Those will come when she is tout" In size the monograms range from one to two inches, though it is seldom that anything less than one and a 1 quarter inches is used, and the letters one and a half inches in length are most frequently seen. Entwined let ters are used, but less often than the monogram, which is comparatively long and narrow, and rather better suited to the sleeve. Occasionally a woman will have her monogram set in a shield of wreath.
 For position the monogram is set three and a half inches above the top of the cuff on the left arm, in the posi- tion where it will be the most con- spicuous. The summer girl with a monogramed sleeve does not wish to hide her light under a bushel nnce in while the summer girl, wishing to have something a little different, has been monogramed above the el- bow. thinking perhaps of naval in- I signia.

The Rriaearoon,,s mistake.

An unfortunate mistake was made by bridegroom week or two ago. After getting into the train which was to take himself and his spouse away on their honeymoon, he noticed a shoe lying on the floor of the car riage. Thinking one of his friends had thrown it there during the send off he picked it up and flung it out of the window. A little later on he was surprised to see a commercial traveller who had awakened from a deep sleep peering under the seats and on top of the rack and inquir- ing if any one had seen shoe which he had taken off to ease his corns. Then the bridegroom discovered his mistake, and the first purchaseA of his married life was a new pair of shoes for an absolute stranger Pearson's Weekly.

ROSEBURY TALKS
 TO LIBERALISTS
SAYS sARRoNs ELECTION FROM NORTH LEEDS MEANS MUCH FOR THE PARTY-PEoPLE ARE BECOMING COMPASSIONATE.

London. July s1.-Lord Rosebury presid- cd at largely attended dinner of the Lib eral League tonight, at which Herbert H. Asquith Sir Edward Grey. Sir Henry Fowler. Richard II. Haldane and other prominent liberals were present.
 Lord Rosebury, in the course of a lengthy speech. dilated upon the recent bye-eleetion for member of the house of commons to represent North Leeds which resulted in the election of Donald Barron a liberal. MT. Barron sat at Lord Rose burys right. The speaker characterized the North Leeds verdict as having great CT significance than any single election since the late Major Gladstone was re- turned from Midlothian. and as almost a vital blow to the prestige of the gov ernment. Yet Lord Rosebury warned his hearers that fifty such elections as that of North Leeds might not turn out the party now in power
 It showed. however, that the nation was beginning to look disrassionatcly at the governments record in domestic legisla- tion and to judge with cooler temper than it could do during the South African war.
 The liberal party had suffered long period of sterility. said the speaker; it had gone through the valley of the shad- ows of death from want of concentra- tion and it had been allowing itself to be- come disassociated from the imperial as- pirations of the nation. The party had suffered, continued the speaker, by it's unfortunate attitude in regard to the Irish question. and uIS.il imperialist lib- eral principles prevailed within t there would be necessity for the continued ex- istence of the Liberal league.
