English Champion to Run II
Miles Against Best Men
Selected.

NEW YORK. Dec, 29.-The offer made
by Alfred Shrubb, the great English
long distance runner, 20 meet the three
best men that could be found IN a relay
race OF twelve miles, each competitor
TO run four miles, at Madison Square
Garden on January 8. has already
brought host OF contestants from all
parts Of the country.
Judging from the replies there are
enough Marathon runners and ambi-
tious athletes, who think they are run
ners, ready for a try at the game to
fiji the garden without figuring on any
paid admissions at all.
Both Shrubb and the management OF
the race want 20 be sure that the best
men in the business. barring Long
boat, DOrdndO, and Hayes. are secured
to form the trio for the relay race and,
therefore, have left the selection OF

POSITION
AN IMPORTANT ONE
Demand Is Growing Every Year fer
the Competent
Catcher.

The recent trade OF Lou Criger for
Hippo Spencer and $4,000 IN real
money emphasizes the lack Of really
classy catchers. Here is Criger an
old man as baseball goes, not overly
strong, man 50 skinny he appears
In imminent danger Of breaking in
two every time he throws to second
base, a man with not more than three
or four years Of baseball service in
him at the most, commanding $4,000
and live young person IN trade
Why7 Because ne IS a real catcher.
Every bali club in either major
league has at least one top notch
pitcher who can NOW down the op-
position with considerable eas- and
whose services would command many
dollars II he were put on the market
How many good catchers are there ?
That is Just catchers. with no refer
enCe TO hitting or base running ablI-
fly.
ST Louis has Criger. Chicago mas
Billy Sullivan, and the Nationals have
the most promising catcher who broke
in the majors last year. Charley
Street Look over the list Of Catchers
owned by the other American League
clubs and see how many catchers
Young Walsh, White, Waddell, Joss,
RhOades, Tom Hughes, Powell, DOuO-
van, and half dozen other top notch
pitchers.
The classy catcher IS a rare bird II
often looks. as though the magnates
spent too much time and money trying
70 build up great pitching staff with
out seeking good receivers. OF course.
these same good receivers are few and
far between Probably the chances Of
injury and the thanklessness Of the
job make youthful baseball aspirants
steer clear OF the catching position Go
out and catch a good game and you
are credited with doing what you were
paid for. Have a few passed balls and
make Wild throw or two, and the
pOpulaCe -1Sss up and bowls it's a
shame such good pitcher can't get a
little support.
The catcher, rather than the pitcher,
however, IS the handspring Of the base
ball machine. Being stationed behind
the batsman. he has greater OppOrtuui-
ties than the pitcher for observing what
a certain batter can and cannot hit
knowing the man with whom he works
he can tell II his curves are breaking
right, can make him work slowly when
inclined to hurry. and can make him
hustle when he inClines to sIOwuess.

6. II a player plays before his op-
ponents tall IS al rest on the putting

7, The following changes relate 20
stroke play:
(a5 The committee IN charge OF a
competition win now be responsible for
adding up the scoring cards, not the
secretary, as formerly
90 II a player plays outside the

NEW YORK, Dec. 2e.-Many changes
are coming next year in the rules of
golf. So much has been heard OF that
'out Of bounds rule, together with
that relating TO the 'Iine of the putt, "
that further comment is not necessary.
but there are other alterations which
win puzzle some players For example,
under the new reading of the rules a
player viii be allowed to remove suf-
6cient sand to enable him 20 see the
top Of the ball when lying IN sand,
whether in a hazard or otherwise.
This is q consUmmatiOn sure 10 be
fully taken advantage Of, but there is
likely 70 be difficulty in discriminating
when the new law ought TO come into
operation. Added to this many are
likely 70 take advantage OF the reading
Of the rule as an excuse for grounding
the club in Il hazard.
The rule relating TO casual water on
the putting green has also been amend
ed. and the new order Of things will be
pleasing 10 most. Under the cd rule a
player could only lift and place imme-
diately behind the water. but under the
new code a ball lying in casual water
on a putting green may be lifted with
out penalty and placed within two club
lengths. but not nearer TO the hole, so
as 20 afford a putt without casual water
Intervening.
A rule likely to put a curb on the
hurried uutter IS that which says that
IL n player plays before his oDpOn-
ent's ban is AT rest on the green he
viii forfeit the hole. The old rule
covered this phase. but previously the
penalty was only one stroke
In medal play, If a competitor plays
more than one stroke with the wrong
ball. except when In a hazard, he will
lay himself open TO disqualification.
Should the error be discovered, however
after playing the first stroke he VIII
incur no penalty II he should then pro
cced 10 play his own ball
Another rule that the new code makes
more drastic SIS that relating 70 Dlay
within twenty yards OF the hole befOre
stLe flag stick has been removed
A player who hits the pin OF the per
son standing al the hole within this dis
tauce was formerly penallZed two
strokes. but under the new code the
penalty is doubled
Following is the summary OF the chief
alterations.
/ A ban must b. dropped over the
shoulder instead OF the head.
. A player VIII be entitled 70 re-
move sufficient sand % enable him 10
see the top Of the ball when lying IN
nd. whether IN a hazard or other
wise.
Formerly this could not De done.
3 When q ball has been played out

Likelihood of the Champion
Meeting Boston Negro in
Postponed Mill.
NOT YET DECIDED
ON FUTURE PLANS
May Leave Australia for Coast to
Fight Kaufmann-Barry
Winner.

NEW YORK, Dec. eff Jack John
son lives up 10 his agreement with the
National Sporting Club of London, his
next big fight Will take place there
and his Opponet will be another dusky
boxer-Sam Langford. But Johnson is
undecided about meeting Langford now.
and IL is a question whether the Boston
negro cares very much about tackhng
the new heavy weight champion.
When Johnson was in London last
summer he agreed to box Langford in
November. Articles were sent 10 the
National clubs representative IN this
country and Langford signed them.
Then Johnson started on his relentless
pursuit of Burns and the match was
postponed. 1t was not called on, for
Johnson promised, win or lose in his
fight with Burns, that he would return
10 London and fulnll his engagement
with Langford. In the meantime Lang
ford had transferred his headquarters
10 the Pacific coast and delays an
nouncement Of the date Of his depart
ure for London
The chances are that Johnson Will
taTry in Australia for d few weeks and
pluck a few Of the lemons that Were
squeezed by Burns. 'BOshter Biz
Squires challenged the winner OF Sat
Urday's fight and Bill is still a drawing
card in the Antipodes. OF course. he
and Johnson would not get any &0. 900
purses, but the black man can demand
the Hons share OF the prize money He
is 4 popular hero in Australia now,
and as the money comes easy there,

There is some uncertainty as TO John
sons movements when he leaves Aus
tralia. Some think that he viii sail for
Frisco and take on the winner Of the
Kaufman-Barry scrap KetChel does
not appear as anxious 10 annex the
heavyweight title as he was before
Johnson showed class against Burns
JanEford IS hardly 10 be considered, as
he would be more likely 10 fight John
son in London than on the Pacific coast.
Added to Johnson $ end of the Burns
fight were two round trip tickets from
IsCndOn 10 Sydney. Chances are that
after Fitzpatrick and his now valuable
meal ticket have cleaned up Australia
they will make use Of the return COu-
pouS. The Galveston Black IS very
popular in England There is no pref
udice against the negro there This
and the unpOpularlJy OF Burns made
Johnson a faVOTite He was Wiued and
dined by the ''swells" in London. and
he can get q few easy fights and a
profitable thea trical engagement besides
The news Of Burns oe-eaI was re-
ceived in London with extreme sausfac-
tiCn. Tommy was a most aggravating
person TO the Britishers. They couldn't
find anyone 10 whip him, and his indie
pendent manneTlSmS grated on the OiUni-
fed directors Of the National Sporting
Club. Burns treated the honorable di-
reCtOrs as suspicious persons while he
was doing business with them He
collected his purses before he entered
the ring and made himself obnoxious

his constant hammering at. Burns. there
