Whenever two fighters of any
prominence sign articles of agree
ment for a battle, it 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, a 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
ultS. Ht Mdl NulS vi {uCtho-
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
ubap nna of tho fiubtnrs uoc ait bar
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 We're origin
ally written by Chambers are as
follows:
/. To be fair stand up boxing
match In "a foot ring, or as near
that size as practicable.
2. No wrestling or hugging al

They have a game in Cuba called
Jai Alai (Hi-LD that certainly is
the real thing when it comes to ac-
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 its 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.
. THREE GAMES A NIGHT.
Three games are played in an
evening-two doubles, consisting of
% 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-
mains on the floor until he has lost
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 dollar.

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 a SEN

"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
speculation.
The first western invasion by the
National league clubs in the east
and the first eastern invasion by
the western wing of the American
league will probably result in some
changes in the standings of the two
organizations.
