LOUIS CRIGER. CATCHER,

One of the best catchcrs in America is Louis Criger of the Boston Ameri- cans. He caught ninety seven games last season. and says that for the nrst time in his career he wound up the campaign with sore hands. due wholly to the much talked of "spit ball. Tt is terror to any catcher" said Cri- ger recently. How is it thrown: Well. that is hard to explain. The first two fingers are moistenad. and when it is delivered it goes toward the batsman like slow, straight ball. until 1t gets where Inc imagines he can knock it into Chine. .Thcn it takes q downward shoot, and even the catcher has to look sharp to escape having passed ball. Chesbro is the inventor of it. hut Gibson of the Bostons had if down fine before the past season was half over. The spit ball decided the American league championship this year. In tho deciding game with the New Works it was ? to q against us until the eighth inning. Then we tied the score. Tn tine ninth I beat out an infield hi. and finally reached third with two out Then Chesbro lot go Il spit ball. and as he did not control it properly if went over the caicher's head. which enabled me to score the deciding run. Every pitcher m the country will try ;o Use this puzzling bali next season.

The present program calls for a twenty round bout. to he decided ill March. The weight is 116 pounds and the fight will be for the bantam title of the world. Evans is now waiting for eX- pense money. and will sail as soon as he gets it. The articles of agreement were signed several months ago. Ev ans is clever two handed fighter, but not regarded as much of a punch- CT. He has been known to knock out his man. however. He is expected to beat Bowker and will be heavily back ed by the American sports to do SO Evans has been training in light way for weeks and is said to be in good condition.

HEAyYWEIGUTS ARE BARRED.

Safe guards in the way of physicians will be insisted upon. It is said that the lilI will contain rider which will cf- fectually bar heavyweight champions from cGntesting in Illinois. IL is rc- cognized by tlc framers of the bill l that hcavywpights have been tho cause of killing thc game iii other states. hence the provision for their exclusion.

THIS ATHLETE PECULIAR
Ralph Rose Slow In Returning to
 College.

Ann ArbOr. Mich, Jan. 16.-Not only is Ralph Rose, the young cole gian who developed into q worlds champion shot-putter barred from further competition among the "bie nine. colleges ofsfhe west, but-he will -rrubabiy -ftnyf-s irfmseir on riir blacklist of all institutions. ..-.--------.
 Prof. Pattengill. chairman of Mich igan's Board of Control. said last night: "l do not see how Rose can leave Michigan and enter any other reputable college of the country with ont a certificate of honorable discharge from Michigan. and this he may find some trouble in obtaining"
 Rose has not yet returned from his New York trip. and his absence of a week from class work is enough to seriously affect his collegiate stand ing. as the local university is very strict about students being present at the opening session after vacation. None of his friends here have heard from him. and it is thought that he has deserted Michigan permanently.
 The latest story circulated here re- garding Rose is that he has signed for a professional career under George Considine. of New York. but not much crcdcncc is placed in this.

MADE HIS
 OWN TERMS.
Ball Player Sells Himself The Hing. of the Ball Field-Death of an Old Player.

The case of Ovie Overall, the Ia coma pitcher whose signed contract soon will be promulgated by President Harry Pulliam of the National league, is an extraordinary one.
 When the Cincinnati club sent q check for $375 to President Bert. of the Pacific Coast league, it was thought that Ovcrall-who had been won in lottery by Cincinnati, with the New York Americans as the other contestant, was cinched for the Reds.
 Not so. A letter was received from Overall after he had been notified of the draft, declaring that he was not under reserve to the Tacoma club, and that the draft for him did not stand.
 However" declared Overall, in con c,usion, If the Cincinnati club will draft me from myself at the same price that it would have paid the Ia coma club-S375 now and $3I5 when l make good-Ill sign with the Reds.'
 President Hermann did not care to whom he paid the money, so long as he secured the man, so when he ascer- tained from President Bert that the Tacoma club had no claim on Overall after the close of the season. and that he was at liberty to sell himself, he Immediately accepted the sale price that Overall placed on his services, requested President Bert to turn over to Overall the S3.. that had been for warded him as the first instalment on the draft price, and the deal was closed. Overall is satisfied that he has sold himself to the highest bidder. and that he will be able to get tine other S315 before June 1.
