and the Boston Red Sox. He owed
these largely to the fact he won The

It Is that any heroic departure from

be made.
For the past twenty years the. I'M
portant changes that have been made
in the playing rules of the game can
be counted on the fingers OF one hand
They are:
Bringing the catcher up close

The adoption of the foul strike

Increasing the pitching distance
from As to 60 feet.
Making more strict the rule

But what a world OF suggestions
have been made TO the rule makers In

have been:
To put a much larger amount OF
rubber in the ball
To require the outfielders to
stand in prescribed positions until

To do away with the shortstop.

There seems 10 be quite a mistake
in Fitzsimmons' age even among the
records. In the record books. At. Is
stated he was born In. 1862. which
would bring him around the 4S-year
mark. and this il the age that Fitz
himself has given out for years. But
a little incident occurred which am
about 10 recall which will bring him
TO about SO years.
Immediately after the battle with
Jack Dempsey I was his manager and
took him TO New York Our opening
engagement was at Miners Bowery
theater and while in his dressing
room one afternoon just before the
matinee rugged looking fellow came
in and shook him by the hand. Bob
seemed quite surprised for a moment
and then stammered, MY brother
Charlie" Yes. that Is who 1t was. his
brother Charlie. The latter had re-
NAMED I'm England when Fitz went
to Australia and had not seen his then
famous brother for years. They Cos

said: II say. Bob. you're well TO the

Since he wrote. Cartmell has taken

champion of the world.
Cartmell was beaten In the Olympic
100-meter race by Reggie" Walker,

then the old Penn flyer put 1t all over
Walker upon three occasions, twice

than kept men like Crawford. Cobb

rest assured that substitutions made
