Fifty Extra-Inning Games.

During the season of 1909 American
League teams played fifty extra-inning
games, six of which terminated in ties
The staying qualities Of the Detroit
pitchers helped the Tigers materially in
annexing their third consecutive pen
nant. Detroit played in thirteen extra
inning games during the season, winning
nine. losing one and three ending in ties
Their only defeat was at the hands of
Boston They won three from Chicago
two from New York, the same number
from Boston and one each from Cleye-
land and St Louis.
The Athletics. Dctroits nearest rivals
for the pennant, could not stand the GAR
after the ninth inning. They won six
extra-period contests. two from Chicago,
the same number from st. Louis and one
each from Boston and Washington, and
lost seven, two each to Cleveland, ST
Louis and Washington. and one to Chi
cago. Had the Philadelphia pitchers been
as successful in overtime games as
Hughey Jennings tWirlers the chances are
they and not the Tigers would have on
posed the Pittsburg Pirates in the re-
cent series for the worlds base ball
supremacy.
Boston, third at the finish, won seven
and lost five eXtra-stanZa games
Chicago won four and lost seven.
New York won five and lost the same

Change Water Polo Rules.

NEW YORK. January S.-The inter-
collegiate Swimming League decided at a
meet ng recently to change the rules for
water polo so as to include one feature
of the English type OF game. II was
decided that the goal should be widened
and set up higher and that the ball might
be tossed at it from outside the fifteen
foot mark to count for a goal if the
board We're touched. A goal made in
this way Is to count two points. while
one made in the old way-that is, through
rushing and holding the ball against the
ooard-is to count i've points.

That Hoppe has good backing for any

Some fans hold that shut-out contests
and low-hit games are the best ever, but
the majority of lovers of base ball can't
see their argument. Any time two major
league teams hook up in an eXtra-innlng
contest you can put 1t down that that
game was well worth seeing. Especially
Is this true in the American League,
where the eight teams appear to be more
evenly matched than in the National.

troit game of July 10 Was chalked up
OH the bulletin boards in the American
Leagues cities, scarcely one of the many
thousands who hung around ali hour or
SO later than was their usual wont but
what expressed himself as follows: Gee.

Shut-out games and lOw-hit contests
receive passing notice from the fans, but
they never tire of talking about how
this or that pitcher held the opposing
team to one run or no runs in twelve or
thirteen innings. or how Ty Cobb or
George Stone came up In the last half of
the fifteenth and broke up the game with
corking drive for three bases.

he bets on a sure thing.
The woman who wants to be ia
nous always gets angry when she is
talked about"
The arrows of affliction are barbed
with the memory of past happiness.
The poor man never looks so poor
as when riding in a rich mans carri-
age.
1t is a sceptical fellow indeed who
does not believe the fortune that a
pretty girl reads in his palm.
Some folk are like whales-as soon
as they begin to spout the fellow with

Free advice is usually worth just
what it costs.
Nobody ever believes that a rich
man can have the blues-unless it
is the kind you cash in at the end of
the game.

character than to see that they are
