John L. Sullivan Would Have Made
Star Ball Player.

John l.. Sullivan would have made a
star baseball player had his lines been
thrown on the green diamond instead
Of in the squared circle.
The big fellow" as Boston still de-
lights TO call the champion of cham
pions. might not have gained that
Worldwide celebrity as a BAH player
that he did as a pugilist, nor would he
have accumulated the stacks of coin
that have found their easy ways into
his brawny pallns-and out again
easier-but he would surely have
made his mark as an exponent of our
national game.
And John l.. Sullivan even today is
one of the best posted men on baseball
there is in the country. and in our
broad land the baseball fan can be dug
up i'll any old place. Their name is
legion and John l.. is one of the

YANKEE GOLF PLAYERS
SUGGEST CHANGE IN RULES.

New York. Feb. This country's
suggestions for :he revision Of the golf
rules, requested last fall BY the rules
committee Of the Royal and Ancient
Golf Club. Of st. Andrews, were sent
today. The compilation Of the sus-
gestions has been done by ,uh-cin-
mittee of the United States Golf AS
Sociation consisting Of Daniel Chaun-
ccy, president of the association; w.
Fellows Morgan and leighton Calkins.
According 10 the Instructions the com
mittec was to canvass the United
states Golf Association clubs 10 asCer
tain the American ideas on the rules,
or the changes needed in them. and on
TINS information the Subcommittee
was To base it's suggestions to the
Scotch committee
1t IS a matter of record that after
the last two rcvisions the United States
Golf Association has had the rules in
terpreted by Il special committee. The
addition to the rules now in use We're
made after the revision of 1897 by
Charles Il. Macdonald, G. Herbert
Windclcr and Walter J. Travis, for the
United states book AT that time the
Royal and Ancient committee said that
suggestions would be asked from the
Americans when the rules were again
revised
Growing diSeatiSfa with the
rules on the part of Americans has be-
come quite pronounced. 1t was in Sep
TENDER last that the United States
executive committee wrote Hotifica-
ton to the st. Andrews committee Of
the existing feeling here. Word was
received from Capt. Burn, chairman
of the st. Andrews committee. an
nouncing that the rules We're to be
revised and that an advance proof
would be sent to the L. s. q. A. for
amendments. The revised rules are
due in May. c. Il. Macdonald. of this

FRANK BANCROFT HAS
SOME ORIGINAL IDEAS.

Frank Bancroft. secretary Of the
Cincinnati National League baseball
team, has some interesting observa-
tions to make concerning future field
days for the baseball players In COM
mcnting on the first meet held last
year 1T Cincinnati he said
BILLY Sullivan, catcher for the
White Sox. suggested q scheme to me
which I believe is Il good one" says
Secretary bancroft. lie said that in
the Observation-Disclosures contest the
catcher should throw To all three bases

then take the average. having the tar

with lines to indicate the score, same
as is ON an arrow target. This scheme
l myself believe is a much better one
than that tried at Cincinnati"
Mr. Bancroft also suggested that
three prizes be given in each event, so
that the second and third men would
get something for their efforts. He
said:
II would suggest that 5000 he given
for the first prize. 500 for the second,
and $50 for the third. The medals
prizes, and ali would not figure more
than $500. which could easily be paid
out of the gate receipts, and what fund
was left over could 20 toward defray-
ing expenses for other field-day events
to be held in the future.
Another event | would add would
be a 100-yard dash straightaway for
the fleet-fOoted base runners of the
league. This would give the fans a
line on the fastest men in the various
leagues. Everybody knows that some
OF the fastest sprinters in America are
ball players and they could shoot at
tie record as well. l would permit the
men in this event to run in regular
running togs and shoes. so that they
would not be handicapped with heavy
baseball shoes and heavy baseball
suits"
All ball players in the country would
enter in the various events. with the
good prizes offered, it is declared. and
the sporting event would unquestion-
ably be the greatest in history.
Il believe that the fungo hitters
should be allowed five trials at the
ball too" said Mr.. Bancroft. Eve can
see now where three trials are hardly
fair test. as was proven in Cincin-
natl. when two of Walsh's were fiukes.

SLUGGERS, NOT BOXERS.
That Is What Ais Modern Exponents
of Prize Ring.

The slugGer boxer is not q pleasant
thing to see in action. What people
want is good clever boxing, ring gem
eraIShip and q few other things be-
sides brute strength. II. H. Kahn
reads u lecture on this, in part, as fol-
lows:
THE fact that the latter-day
pugilists do not take up the study Of
boxing and learn the art Of self
defense is responsible to a great extent
for the lack Of good material for the
many boxing clubs scattered through
out the country. The boxer who does
not possess skill enough to defend
himself cannot long stand the beating
that will come to him in the course Of
ring encounters.
''Instead of being before the public
from eight to ten years, as was the
case with fighters Of former times,
three or iour years is about as long as
the modern sluggnrS are able to put
up the vicious contests which they
seem to think the sporting public adj
mirc, instead Of bouts between good
boxers who can hit, stop, and get
away. Broken noses and tin cars are
the marks that these fellows carry
around with them as Il badge of their
calling.
Very often their arms are broken
by coming i'll contact with the elbows
or heads Of the men they are boxing,
and IT is seldom that they are ever as
good again. Those who pay attention
to the ring matters can easily call to
