MURRAY BOOSTS BARRY.
Goes so Far as to Declare Him Best
Man OF Philadelphia Club.

Billy Murray, former manager of
he Phlllies, is strong in his praise of
J. j. Barry, the Athletics sh0rtstop,

eral, tcok up the matter of short
stops. 1t was While he was talking
about this species of inieder that he
remarked about the ability Of Barry

and you'll lind that Barry is the key
70 the whole business. That may seem
funny TO lot of people, but that's my
opinion. He's always doing some
thing, always right in front of the
ihall, and he does the right thing at
the right time. There's none of this
iflashy stuff about Barry. He covers
al the ground in sight and he gets
OK er it so easily and in such a soft
manner that people don't see how real
4 ~ great that kid is. If he ran all
around the ball. stood on his head and
made a lot of work out of an easy
ichance people would scream their
ilpngs out and think that was great
work.
But the fellow on the inside knows
differently He watches a PLAYER all
| the time, sees how he handles himself,
sees whether he gets in front OF the
hall, whether or not he lands in
position to throw well. Barry does all
! of that stuff and does it easily He
covers rs much ground as any short
stop in the business. He can come
up on the ball, he can go up on the
/ hall. he takes them On either side and
he has as fine a whip as any player
in the business. He is always pulling
Ieomething, too And he always does
lit at the right time, JUST when it's
needed and Just when it is the only
thing 10 10 That's what like about
Barry: he always does the one thing
itlat is needed when it is needed.
Take him at the bat. He may not
hit more than $50 for a season. But
he PUTS that $50 average to more gain
for his club than half the 800 hit

/ body is needed in the pinch. Who's
There? Parry, sure as you live. You

NEW STRINGENT RULES
FOR NEW HAVEN BOXING
No Hitting in Clinohss-Kidney Blow
5arred-six Ounce Gloves the Light
est Allowed.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. with the
opening Of the new year, followers Of
the boxing game were notified today
by Chief of Police COwles that his su-
pervisiOn Of the game will be closer
than ever, and he Issued a set Of Or
ders, the most drastic points Of which
are that there will be no more hitting
in clincehs; that no gloves lighter than
six ounces shall be used, and that no
fighter under Is years of age will be
allowed to enter the ring.
Today's rules are the first written
orders to be issued by any of the au-
thorities Of the cities of the state. In
addition to the three points mentioned
above, the rules also provide that no
person. amateur or professional, shall
take part in a boxing exhibition until
examined as to his physical condition
by a reputable physician. The foul
blow known as the kidney punch" vii

Catcalling, disorderly conduct, shout n.
ing or smoking in the building while a

ion Of a contest in the place where it
is being held is also prohibited. The
rules are brought to a close with the
admonition that unless referees and

TINKER PICKS CHICAGO.
Cubs shortstop Is Out with an Early
Prediction on Pennant Race.

Joe Tinker thinks the Cubs will win
the penrant in the 1912 campaign. He
rays: At this stage Of the season it
IS somewhat out of order to predict
any pennants for any favorites but so
far | look for the race to be another
four cornered tight between Chicago.
New York, Philadelphia ard Pittsburg.
Quite naturally, l think the Cubs will
have a look in, but their success de-
ponds on many things. In the first
place, the condition of Frank Chance
will have the greatest influence. If
he is able to play first base we will
be right in the running all the time,
for he is the biggest portion of our
teams. If he cannot play-well, won't
make any predictions. Other handi-
caps we are likely to be under will
depend upon the condition of Evers
and the reported intention of Brown
&c remain in California.
Il expect to see Brown in San Fran
cisco, and I do not place much cred
ence in the reports of his intention

reports, our pitching staff is 0. X
