how far a quarter of an inch reaches.
When asked regarding the feasibil-

handicap the pitcher in his work and
to give the batters a chance to bolster
up their batting averages, James A.
Hart of the Cubs said he did not care
to discuss the matter.
IF you change the size OF the ball
you will spoil the arm of every player

Capt. Arson said that he did not

GIVING PRISONERS A BATH.
Kansas City, Kas., Is Now Treating Its
COnvicts to Luxury.

Kansas City. Kas., Feb. 10.-Some
much needed improvements have just
been completed at No 2 police station,
at James street and Reynolds avenue.
This station is the city prison. For
two months the prisoners have been
the building. Two rooms have been
eXcavated in the basement and one of
them has been made into a first class
bathroom. with a large tub set on a
concrete floor. The basement floor has
been lowered and the walls white
washed. The basement is heated by d
furnace and on bath days" the pris-
oners are allowed to come down from
the cells above in groups of three or
four. The only exit leading to the out
side is locked, and all the prisoners get
to wash and exercise in turn.

PENIS baseball players will soon
commence active work for the COM
ing season. Freshmen candidates will
be called out for preliminary work on
February IA, and the varsity candi-
dates on February 20. The team this
year will again be coached by Danny
Coogan, the famous backstop of the
red and blue teams of a decade ago..
Coach Coogan will. 3 be assisted in
coaching by Fred Gillinder, an ex-cap-
tain ofsthe Pennsylvania team of 1900.
He will have charge of the freshman
squad.
Nets have been rugged in weight
man hail. the main floor of the uni
versity gymnasium, for the ball toss
ers. One-third of the floor by this
device can be devoted to baseball,
while at the same time the basketball
and gymnastic teams may utilize the
other tWo-thirds of the floor space for
practice. The space included in the
net is IS by 80 feet. and just allows
enough room for battery practice, the
pitching distance being so feet. 1t is
doubtful if the gymnasium authorities
will allow the baseball men to practice
batting in the building, and other pro-
visions will have to be made for this
branch.
The outlook for the varsity team at
the present time is very poor, as only
three of last years mediocre team
have returned to college, and the new
men that are known quantities are not
stars. A list of the material now
known is as follows:

San Francisco, Feb. 1O.-Probably
the fastest six rounds ever witnessed
in Shannon's gymnasium were boxed
there yesterday by Young Corbett,
Joe Cans and Frank Rafael Joe went
over to San Francisco and viii remain
the balance of the month for the sole
purpose of helping Corbett get into
shape for his coming fight with Nell

the purpose of assisting Corbett and
to prepare himself for his matches
with George Herbert and Billy Otis.
Rafael fights Herbert in Vellejo on
the 14th and is matched to meet Billy
OTIS in Tonopah March l.
Corbett and Rafael each took q long
run on the road in the morning. In
the afternoon Joe Cans peeled off and
all three took a grueIing course in the
gymnasium. Corbett boxed six rounds,
alternating between Cans and Rafael
The three rounds with Cans were
worth going miles to see. Although
sadly out of condition, the duskv
champion was scienced and with Cor
bett as an opponent the exhibition of
footwork, blocking and counterine was
something to delight the heart Of an
old ringster.
