EEYoNEY BOY" EVANS, who
.x closes his engagement at the
Newark Theatre this week
ana is noted throughout the country as
a rahid fan, declares that he has dis
covered a loophole' in one of the re-
vlsed baseball rules adopted by the
JOINT rules committee of the American
and National leagues, as published last
Mr.. Evans refers to the ruIe
Wnlcn states that a batsman shall I've
given three bases, If a fielder attempts
to Knock down a batted ball by throw
ing a glove, cap or any other part of his
wearing apparel at the sphere. Evans
contends that In the case of a ball going
over a fence the batsman - generally
ertitfed to a home run. According to
the new rule n fielder ca throw his
glove at the sphere and the b~ase-runner
has to pull UP at third. Mr.. Evans is
right In his contention, SO far as cpeci-
tication In the rule is concerned. The
umpires should be instructed not to take
away extra bases from batters, as the
spirit of the rule is to add them on be-
cause of the ielder's offense.
Joe Harter, the local semi-pro ball
player, who refused to join the Law
renee, Mass, New England baseball
team on account of salary differences
and who played with the Ironsldes and
New Brunswicks instead, will stick to
his determination to play on the Jersey
semi-pro teams. Joe has been rendered
a contract by the Boston Nationals,
to which team he had been turned over

considered the matter of a tryout with
the big leaguers,. but has decided that
his position with. the Union Brewing
Company and playing with the Iron
sides n New Brunswicks are better
for him h professional baseball. Joe
Is a fast man, and his presence with
locak league teams shows the calibre
of bail played here.
John Dots Miller played an the
All-National indoor baseball team In
pittsburg last night against the great
Firelnen's team of that place, and
helped in the 8 to 4 victory gained by
the All Nationals. He had three hits
and no errors.
Before the Polo Athletic Club, in New
York, last night. Young Wildfang de-
feated Battling Larry Ryan in a six
round bout. The Last round was cur
Z tailed two minutes, in order to prevent
a Knockout. After the fight Wildfang
did not show "a mark. while his oppo- !
nent was pretty badly battered UP.
Tom Messenger has refused several
offers for fights with Wildfang, who is
going along In great shape.

SPADES.
Several euchre experts were OF the
opinion that this play can be made.
They figure that so long as the ace of
spades has been turned up n then
down and Is in the pack out Of play 1t
isn't fair to the players not to allow
them to call for a partner In the spade
suit because the ace is not in the pack
We couldn't locate a rule covering the
play In rule books today We think
however. that the play can be made
fairly.
