But Three Stars
Left in the League

When the American League FIRST ap-
pearcd above tho horizon back In 1901.
and threw down the gauntlet to monop-
olized baseball. as illustrated by the
National League Of those days. the list
OF players that figured In the first sea-
sons campaign was about 800. Last
year Just three Of this number drew
salaries as regular players in the
American League.
These three are Eddie Plank. Of the
Athletics; Napoleon Lajoie. Of the
Cleveland Maps. and Billy Sullivan. of
tho Chicago White Sox. Plank is still
very good. q star, In fact, one Of the
best pitchers In the league. Lajoie has
been considered as good as any second
.baseman In the game up until this
year. although he is far from being the
Larry. Of 1901. He has slowed up. al
though still possessing his youthful
grace and agility. Sullivan usually
catches for Ed Walsh. which means
that he figures In quite a large per-
centage OF the White Sox conflicts.
Plank and Sullivan are still with the
same teams they were when the league
started. Lajoie was with the Athletics
in 1901. but the following year he had
to leave Pennsylvania. and was traded
TO Cleveland. Sullivan has been the
White Sox's inainstay for many years,
and managed the team for one year.

New Boxing Rules
Discussed by Fans

NEW YORK. Dec. 25.-Promotcrs Of
boxing and fight fans generally were
discussing the new rules formulated by
the State Boxing Commission today
and trying to solve several knotty
points.
The first subject to debate In the
rule governing mitigating. Provision
is made for a clean break but tho
language OF the rule does not make It
clear as to the extent to which fight
ers may use their hands while breaking
from ciinch. It Is pointed out that
referees In trying to interpret the rule.
may incur the displeasure Of crowds.
A feature of the new rule 10 the
provision for cotton gauxe as bandagcA
for the hands instead Of the heavy tape
formerly In use. This. 1t IL said. will
not pack tightly and make 1t possible
for fighters to infect severe damage on
tho faces OF their opponents. Alto
gether. the commission seems to have
aimed at reforms to minimize the
brutality Of the sport and ut tho same
time to Increase the possibility for
scientific boxing.
