KETCHEL IS FAYORITE
OVER TWIN SULLIVAN

much sweating down. In fact. they
meet at catchweights. Ketchel tipped
the beam today at 153 pounds and ex-
poets to step into the ring at about
thai figure. Sullivan weighs 151 pounds,
and declares he never felt so chockful
of activity In his life.
The battle has aroused great interest
throughout the coast section. 1t is felt
that this fight will go a long way
toward settling the. mooted question of
the rightful holder of the middleweight
title. Ketchel. Sullivan. Kelly and
Papke are regarded as the only real
d|isputants for the title, and the battle
tomorrow will probably be the first
of a series between this quartet that
will settle the question beyond eavil.
The betting is beginning to be lively,
with Young Ketchel favorite at 10 to z.
The Twin has grown in popular favor
during the past twenty-four hours, and
the big wad of Ketcl1el money that has
beer placed with middlelnen has all
been covered.
The odds are likely to shorten before
the men step into the ring, for Sullivan
is the favorite among the modest 81
and 81 bettors. KeteheI and Sullivan
will do just enough work during the
next twenty-four hours to keep theil
breathing apparatus in shape and theii
muscles timber. A big crowd VISITED
Sullivan at Shannon's San Rafael gym
nasium today. but Mike had done mos
of his work before the crowd arrived.

DISCUSSES
PLAYING RULE CHANGES

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Harry Pull
liam, president of the National League.
returned yesterday from a three weeks
sojurn in the Adirondacks and in Ca
NADIA. Pullianl will attend the dinner
to Monte Cross in Philadelphia Mon
day.
Mr.. Pulliam thought that outside of
the addition of a schedule the most in
toresting thing at the National League
meeting next week would have to do
with changes in the playing rules.
Pulliam, Chance, of Chicago, and
Murray, of Philadelphia, are the NOM
bers of the National League rules CONT
mittee, while Griffith, of New York;
Mack, of the Athletics, and Comiskey,
of the White SoX, compose the Amerl-
can League committee. Pulliam will
suggest that neither COMMITTEES recon-
mend any changes for adoption to its
league unless the six are
unanimous in agreeing On changes
He will recommend that pitchers
boxes be on a level with the rest of
the diamond, and he favors a clearer
rule regarding when an. umpire shall
call time in a game.
He wants the umpires' duties regard
ing call time more clearly defined. Al
present the rule provides that time
shall not be called in certain cases UNI
til the ball is back in the pitchers
hands. Pulliam a y there are times
when an un1pire should have the au
thority to call time instantly in cas-
of some accident or usua occurrence
in the stands.
Then, in case of accidents TO players
he advocates no calling of time until
the play is completed. when the cir
| cumstances are such that to call time
would be unfair to the other side.

As to the agitation against pitchers
soiling a new ball, the president points
out that, if pitchers are not allowed
to rub a new ball in the grass and
Jake the gloss off, the catcher will talc
up time and discolor the ball by smear
ing tobacco juice on it, and he thinks
1t is better to allow the pitcher to soil
