Whenever two fighters of any
prominence sign articles of agree
ment for a battle. 1t is always an
nounced they will fight under the
Marquis of Queensberry rules. I'M
mediately every sport looks wise,
but as matter of fact there isn't
one man in fifty who really knows
what the Marquis of Queenberry
rules are.
John Sholto Douglas, who sue
ceeded to the title of Marquis of
Queensberry in 1858, was noted
principally for his devotion to
sports, particularly boxing, but he
did not write the rules under
which all boxing contests are now
held. They were written by J. G.
Chambers, member of the ANA
teur Athletic club; and as it was
customary at the time to have the
patronage of some member Of the
nobility, Chambers got the Marquis
of Queensberry to permit his name
to be used as the author OF the
rules. The Marquis Of Queens
berry died in 1900.
Prior to the adoption OF these
rules, all fights were governed by
what were known as the London
prize ring rules, which permitted
wrestling and other forms of
roughing not tolerated nowadays.
Under them round only ended
when one of the fighters was either
thrown or knocked down. The new
rules changed all this and prac-
tically remade the prize fighting
game, giving the scientific boxers
chance.
The rules as they were origin
ally written by Chambers are as
follows:
/. To be fair stand up boxing
match in a "a foot ring, or as near
that size as practicable.
2. No wrestling or hugging al
lowed.
3. The rounds to be of three
minutes duration. and one minute
time between rounds.
4. II either man fan, through
weakness or otherwise. he must get
up unassisted, 10 seconds to be al.
lowed him to do so, the other man
meanwhile to return to his corner
and when the fallen man Is on his
legs the round is to be resumed and
continued until the three minutes
have expired. II one man fails to
come to the scratch In the 10 sec
onds allowed, 1t shall be the power
| Of the referee to give his award In

favor of the other man.
5. A man hanging on the ropes
in a helpless state, with his toes off
the ground, shall be considered
down.
6. No seconds or any other per-
son to be allowed in the ring during
the rounds.
Z. Should the contest be stopped
by any unavoidable interference,
the referee to name time and place,
as soon as possible, for finishing
the contest; so that the match
must be won and lost, unless the
hackers of both men agree to draw
the stakes.
s. The gloves to be fair sized
boxing gloves of the best quality
and new. :.
9. Should glove burst or come
off it must me replaced to the ref
eree's satisfaction.
10. A man on one knee is con-
sidered down, and If struck Is en-
titled to the stakes.
1. No shoes or boots with
springs allowed.
~. The contests in all other
respects to be governed by revised
rules of the London prize ring.

They have a game in Cuba called
Jai Alai (Hi-LD that certainly is
the real thing when it comes to &C
ton.
1t is played just as our game OF
handball, but instead of hitting the
ball with the hands, as is the GUS
tom here, the players over there
have a sort of basket attachment,
with which they catch and throw
the ball.
The court is 1872 feet long, about
80 feet wide, and the serving wall
is As feet high. In the doubles,
where there are two men on each
team, no penalty is attached for
serving the first ball without the
confines of the serving court, but
in the singles it counts as a point
for the opponent.
LIKE A BASEBALL.
The ball they play with is about
the size of our lawn tennis ball, but
is made a good deal like an Amer
lean baseball, being covered with
leather and having in it's center a
piece of round rubber, which makes
It very lively.
= The players are imported from
Spain and receive fine salaries for
their efforts. A first class Jai Alai
player gets as high as $1,000 a
month.
~ The average Jai Alai life of one
of these men is about five years.
- It's no uncommon occurrence to
see a player stand about so feet
from the serving wall and slam the
sphere against the front wall hard
enough to drive it clear across the
court, so that it will hit the back
wall on the fly. .--.--.-s
80 THREE GAMES A NIGHT.
ii Three games are played in an
evening-two doubles, consisting of
rs and 80 points respectively, and
one set of singles. In the latter six
players are used and six points
constitutes the winning of the
game.
The winning member of the first
two men that start the game re-
vi lHC llOol llc uuo IoSl
a point, and so on down the list,
until one player has made the six
points necessary to be returned the
victor.
The betting on the games is
strong, and here is where the pro-
moters derive their revenue. The
mutual betting system is employed.
In the doubles the odds are post
ed by bookmakers before the game
starts and constantly vary as one
or the other of the teams scores
points. In the singles, each ticket
one may purchase on his favorite
costs a dollar.

Jack Sheridan, famous umpire, is
planning to accompany Jim Jeffries
and party on tour around the
world after the close of the base
ball season. There is also the pro-
viso that Jeffries defeats Johnson.
Arthur Fletcher, the young in
fielder McGraw got from Dallas,
Texas, in 1908. is being used pretty
regularly at short this spring, and is
making a good showing. In the
Texas league Fletcher was SEN
satiOn.
"Wee Willie" Keller Is making
the first western trip with the
Giants. McGraw will have to re-
lease several players soon, and
just who they will be is causing

changes in the standings of the two
organizations.

sometimes the ball travels back
and forth as high as 80 times before
a point is gained. 1t is a common
occurrence to see two or three play

At times the play becomes so fast

they are forced to partake of stimu-

liquid refreshments.
1t is no small wonder they fail to

Until the car was out of the way,
