PUNTs AND PASSES

Ten Indian tribes are represented on
the Carlisle team this year.
Pennsylvania has the best freshman
football team in the country this sea-
son. The Quakers always plant a lot
of good ones for varsity use. They
all study during the freshman year.
After that they play football.
Haskell School says Pete Houser is
thirty-five years Of age. He is one
of those simon pure amateurs who
have been making a fat living out Of
athletics for fifteen years. HI wasn't
kown as Houser at Haskell. That's
just his Carlisle name.
There has been considerable rumpus
in games between the small colleges
over the size Of the ball. Nothing in
the rule book indicates the size of the
ball. Its shape must be that Of a pro.
late spheroid. but 1t can be as big
around as a bushel basket.
Inside the twenty-five yard line Mike
Murphy. PENIS trainer. would reduce
the distance to be gained In three
downs from ten to eight or five. He
would put a premium on attempt to
score. The secondary defense plays up
SO close that it's almost impossible to
push the ball over when two evenly
matched teams are on the Held.

THREE OF STANLEY KETCHEL'S
OLD TITLE.
worth of Ketchel, and there is grave
question as to whether the one in point
can make the middleweight limit.
This fellow is Sam Langford, the
Boston negro, who for some months
has been claiming a proprietary inter
est in the middleweight title. but at
the same time has been fighting heavy
weights. There is nothing else than
the word of Joe Woodman, manager of
the negro. that Langford can make 1873
pounds, and Woodman has never been
explicit on that point. Rather he has
lodged the issue when it has come
squarely before him until the most of
Us have reached the conclusion that
Sam is a bona fde heavyweight or at
least in the light heavyweight division.
Eliminating Langford from the list
on account of his weight. Billy Papke
must be placed at the top, although.
in view of the disgraceful bout with
Joe Thomas not so many months ago
in San Francisco. it is more than is
due Papke. OF all the middleweights
who have fought Ketchel, Papke, al
though an in and outer of the most
pronounced type, has made the best
showing. Once he practically knock
ed Ketchel out, and on the occasion of
their last meeting, although the de-
cision was given to Ketchel, the YER
dict was far from pleasing.
Hugo Kelly has been beaten by both
Ketchel and Papke, and Jack (Twin)
Sullivan is not to be considered.
Frank Klaus perhaps has some rights
in the argument, chiefly because of
the frequent statements made by
Ketchel that Klaus gave him one of
the hardest fights in his career.
Sizing it all up, the public would be
as well satisfied to see a bout be-
tween Papke and Klaus and stand by
the result as announcing a champion.
This isn't going to suit the bombastic
Mr.. Papke. who has started to claim
ing in faroff Australia long before
this, but he can't have that title with
out doing some fighting for it.
Remembering also the more than
passive condition of the boxing game
at the present time. it is likely that a
number of months will lapse before
the question is settled definitely, as in
none Of the states is there any DISPOSE
ton to put on long bouts.

WINTER BASEBALL NOTES

Harry Lord is to captain the Chica-
go Americans next season. He is the
logical man for the job. Zeider is a
good ball player, but lacks practical
experience.
They never come back, but Pitcher
Patsy Flaherty is to have another
chance. This time he will be taken
south by Brooklyn. Can't tell what
will happen after the spring trip.
Old Cy Young is growing extremely
fat. and v the winter work he does
on the farm will hardly take it off.
Owner Somers says he will carry the
old warrior next summer, but will ask
him to pitch but once a week.
The National association Of minors
started nine years ago with only nine
leagues as members. Now Secretary
Farrell in his annual report says that
the association has So leagues and
over 10000 players. That Is showing
some growth in less than ten years.
Jiggs Donohue. the once mighty first
baseman, has recovered perfect eye.

badly he gave up the game after be-

before he will be dethroned from his
billiard throne. Hoppe is no respecter
of records. as heshas shown in the last
few weeks. The feats of Frank Ives,
the old billiard marvel. threaten to be
outdone by Hoppe.
Hopes next contest will probably
be with George Sutton. the Chicago
crack and former holder of the 1872
title. The latter claims he has recov-
cred from the illness which forced him
to retire from the championship COM
petition last season. Sutton says he is
better and capable of playing better
now than he has been in many years.
He has a better stroke and more STAN
ina and is much mor confident of
himself than for two or three years.

A Phenomenon.

A handy word much misused is
phenomenon" The London Globe
onc heard a man explaining it's mean
ing to a friend. He did it as follows:
Snow, if you see a COW in a medder,"
he said didactically, chats not a phi
nomeena. It's a pretty animal and
what not. but it amt a phinomeena.
And if you see a thistle in a medder
that amt a ~phinomeena. Nor if you
see a lark in the medder that amt a
phinomeena. It's a pretty bird and
what not. but it amt a phinomeena.
But if you was to see that COW sitting
on that thistle and singing like that
Lark that would be a pinomeena." His
friend said yes. he saw quite plainly

TO INTRODUCE CHANGE IN
BILLIARD PLAY,

Thomas Foley. "the father of /.
billiards." is going to try out a
new style Of play for three cush-
!. ion billiards. Mr.. Foley COM
. plains that the trouble between
. the public and public billiard
. matches was the lack of action. .
!. too little excitement to hold the
. attention Of spectators. The
. idea Of his new style of play,
therefore, is to eliminate this
. trouble by compelling more ac-
. ton.
! The change suggested is sim
: pie. 1t is merely the withdrawal
! of that rule which restricts a
: player to the use Of one cue ball.
. Mr.. Foley will allow each player
: to use either white ball he wish
! es and thereby do away with
. safety play and putting every
. thing up to the execution of the
. player.
. One Of the causes of "slow-
. ness" Of the three cushion game
: is the attempt to play safe in
. use of a miss, the player there
. by devoting as much of his skill
. to determining where the ball
: shall be left IS to the making Of
. a point. This would be practi-
! cally impossible if the next man
! to shoot had the option of using
! either white ball and would
: compel the players to put forth
! every effort to marking up
: points.

When it comes to gathering the coin
Of the realm little old Able Attell Is
the master harvester. East and west,
north and south. he gamers indus
triously. Two or three battles a week
are merely exercise for Abraham. And
no fighter is too tough. no bit too
small, to be overlooked or passed up
by the boxing business man.
the present boxing season attests this
fact. Within the last three months
he has had fourteen battles Of varying
lengths, and in order to fill these
dates Able has been forced to hop
about from n end of the country to
the other. The featherweight cham
pion has travelled around the country
more than any other pugilist, and for
fourteen years he has exhibited his
ski. in nearly every large city in the
United States.
Attell is the last one of the old time
champions to remain. He has seen
the passing of Corbett, Fitzsimmons,
Jeffries, Wolcott, Mccoy. Tommy
Ryan, Joe Cans. Terry McGovern,
Young Corbett. Bat Nelson, but still
this great little featherweight clings
to his title. In fact. there is no one
in sight that seems to have a possible
chance to take it away from him.
Able can make 100 pounds with
ease. but the little ringmaster is
forced to go out Of his class and take
on lightweights and sometime welter-
weights in order to show his skill.
Attell recently stated that he could de-
feat all the lightweights before the
public today, and. judging by his
present form and the poor class of
lightweights. he could easily do it.

of frightful chasm. The guide was
at the end of the rope.
Without his weight there was a
chance for the others to regain their
footing; with it his experienced eye
told him there was none With in

How to Make Tamarind Water.

found in New York markets, has pc
culiar tang and is used in chilled
beverage called "tamarind water.
Remove the seeds and pulp from the
pods, stripping off every particle OF
hard, woody fiber that may cling to
it. To cupful of shelled tamarinds
add a pint of boiling water. Stir the
mixture thoroughly until it is thick.
Add a cupful of sugar and squeeze as
much of the mixture through a strain
er as possible. Set it near ice to cool,
then add crushed ice and enough Ice
water to thin it little. 1t should be
very cold when served. Tamarind wa
ter, it is said, was once as popular as

for patients suffering from slight fe-

so much more attractive in flavor.
