Tommy Burns is one of the surli-
est tempered men in the ring.
Burns, however, is exceeding wise.
He has seldom been seen to touch
even glass of beer and one smoke
in fortnight would be great dissi-
patton for him. His clean living is
at least so per cent responsible for
his victories over men like O'Brien,
who outboxes him, and Marvin
Hart, who outweighs him many
pounds.
Jim Jeffries likes to do some
kidding himself once in while.
One day a police captain entered
his saloon as Jim sat with a crowd
of cronies. Jim told the captain he
would not stand for the way one of
his cops had treated him. The big
fellow began demonstrating how
the cop had supposedly used him.
He poked the captain in the chest
and in the stomach and on the side
of the ear. The cap protested that
he would look into the affair. Jim
kept poking and showing him until
he had him out the door and half
way up the block before the captain
became wise to the situation.
Jack O'Brien started to write a
book once. He allowed a newspaper
to publish in advance some of the
copy. Jack thought to make a hit
by ringing in some stuff about
golden sunsets and softly blowing
Zephyrs." The snort writer's took

President Carpenter Says
Rules Of Salaries Must
be 0beyed

In discussing the salary limit OF players
FOR the 1910 baseball season. President
Charles +. Carpenter OF the Tri-state
League says that rules regarding tho
salaries OF players must bo strictly adj
hered TO. IN an interview President Car
penter said.
1T IS my intention TO insist on a strict
observance OF the salary limit. I have
been criticised for not making investiga-
tion. After having made inquiries ] have
been unable to nnd evidence TO substanti-
ate rumors. All that 1 have to go on are
the contracts. and as they are sworn to
have no reason 20 believe that anyone
would commit perjury and swear TO a
falsehood. II I nnd that any club man
ager or hackers are taking care OF tho
players IN tho way Of bonuses. cash gifts
or free board. the violaters viii be pun
ished. II IS yet too early to give any at
tention TO this question: as every club can
have a big list OF players until 30 DAYS
after the season ls on. Then comes the
pairing down. OF course, no player can
bo signed for more than si55 a month. ox-

HOPPLED PAGER

National TrOtterS' Association
VIII Meet Wednesday to
Adopt Rules

NEW YORK. Feb. S-When the
members of the National Trotting AS
ISOLATION meet tomorrow at the Muir
ray Hin Hotel for the biennial con-
gress of the organization horsemen win
expect To see them do little beyond re-
electing the present officers and for
mally adopting the rules agreed upon
last week at the joint conference OF
the National Trotting Association and
the American Trotting Association.
Proceedings OF the conference were
not made public, but there is a well
defined belief among followers Of trot-
ting that some radical measures viii
be adopted for the bettcrment Of the
sport.
In pursuance Of this purpose there
is reason to believe that the hoppled
PAGER, long acknowledged as an eye
sore to the spectator and an abomina-
ton TO the horse breeder. will receive
a knockout blow
Hoppled PAGERS have become so num-
erous that TO bar them at once and
without notice would probably cut the
list of starters in races all to pieces
for a year or two. hence it has been
proposed TO pass a rule providing in
effect that horses that have heretofore
started In hopples may finish out their
careers so rugged. but that no horse
that has never started may hereafter
start with his legs tied together
II is understood that something like
this rule will be adopted. though ac-
cordng 10 some horsemen Il may take
the form Of a provision that after a
certain date. a year or two hence. hop
pies will be barred on all tracks. This
arrangement would give tho trainers OF
horses now wearing hopples ample tim,
60 educate them to race without tn,
straps, and those that could not be s.,
: educated would be little real loss.

overeatIna AaaIn to Rhme.

Excessive eating is one of our
handiest and most needful scapegoats.
Almost every sin and trouble of the
human race is attributable TO IL. We
grow fat because We eat too much.
We die young because we eat too
much. Rheumatism and all the other
ills of the flesh come from excessive
indulgence in food. We are not sure
but that earthquakes and volcanoes
result from this common human vice.
For could not a plausible thesis be
maintained that the excessive eating
Of the inhabitants Of one part OF the
earth so alters the pressure upon its
crust as TO cause cracks and adjust
ments along its weakest lines?
Il is not surprising. therefore. that
an explanation which explains so
much should also explain the present
high cost of living. and accordingly
a scientist in the department Of agri-
culture has offered this solution OF the
present economic difficulty. All the
nation has 10 do is to diet for the
high cost of living. Let it eat and
grow rich. There is only one discom.
fort involved in this interesting and
timely discovery. The whole dietarian
controversy will be inHamed.
