ABOUT JOE CORBETT.

In releasing Pitcher Joe Corbett un- conditionally President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club has put an end to a long controversy. Because it was be- lieved that some club would pay a good stiff price for Corbett's release, he was kept on the reserve list for years and consequently was deprived of an opportunity to earn a living. But that is one of the so called hardships of organized baseball. Corbett, who is brother of the former heavyweight champion pugillst. was considered one of the best pitchers in America when he helped the old Baltimores to win the National league pennant, but he was so sensitive that his effectiveness at times was nullified. In game over in Brooklyn one day Corbett, who was in the box and was being hit hard, could not stand the criticism leyelled at him by his captain. Jack Boyle, and suddenly throwing the ball to the ground he left the diamond. You are too sensitive" said Manager Hanlon on the bench. Maybe so." replied the young pitcher, but cannot stand abuse and do not like to be call ed hard names" After that the caochers of opposing teams made Cor bett miserable whenever he went to the slab.

NEW GAME OF POOL.
New Workers Originate a Balk Line
 Variety of Pocket Game,

There's a new game of pool in New York. It is so new that it hasn't spread beyond New York to any extent yet. It is called balk line pool, and the scene of its birth was the billiard room of the Fifth Ave nue hotel. A coterie of expert anna teur players gather there for con- tests, and they have been trying out the new game.
 The standard game of pool is con- tinuous pool. It has held its popu- larity in spite of a thousand and one variations of the game which have been tried and some Of which are more or less popular still. Balk line pool, however. Is a pronounced de- parture and has one merit that most of the variations have not--it puts a premium on skill. and there is In it none of the haphazard. happy ga lucky shooting that is a prominent part of the freak variations.
 In balk line pool the fifteen balls are framed in the triangle In the customary way. Balk lines are drawn fourteen inches from the four rasls. and the balls are bslk whenever they are in any of the spaces except the center one. Any ball in the center space may be driven direct to a pock- ct. but any ball in any of the other spaces must be banked. It can be banked either by driving the object ball to the cushion or by making the cue ball strike the cushion first.
