Hot Springs. Ark. Jan. 1S-Whatd do
you know about Mike Donlin, the
heavy hitting centerfelder of the Bos-
ton Rustlers being one of the oldest
players in point of service, in the Ma
tional league? Mike claims he Is SO.
but the baseball dopesters have him
81 and while he is as spry and bots
ferrous as the average broiler. it is
naught but the truth that Fred Clarke,
Honus Wagner. Tommy Leach and
Deacon Philippe of the Pittsburg Pr
rates; Fret Tenney OF the Bostons and
Jimmy Sheckard of the Chicago Cubs
alone antedate him in the parent or.
g%anization. =
As Leach and Philippe called quits
to a certain extent last season.: ms
Clarke declares that his playing days
are over: and as Tenncy has been

Boston club by Killing. Wagner really
Is the only vet who has ii on Donlin
as Sheckard just about ties Michael.
1t was Donlin himself who gave out
this rather startling statement in the
rotunda of the Arlington hotel the 9TH

ne was stringing them but sure
different teams, Donlin was shown to
have the correct dope.

POCKET BILLIARDS To BE MADE
MORE SPEEDY To CHANCE RULES
One Ball Taken Out of Fifteen Makes Much Safety Play
Impossible-Play Should Be More Speedy and
Continuity of Runs Will Be Assured,
Owing to Better Breaks.

teen Of the fifteen balls are duly sent
to the pockets by the competitors, the
last ball on the table then remains
in its position the pyramid being
again set up with a blank ball at the
center Of the base This blank ball is
removed and the player shooting con-
tinues from where the one ball may
happen to lie.
As was effectively demonstrated
such an arrangement does away with
all the tedious safety which pre-
vailed at the beginning of each frame
IN a match at the breaking Of the py-
ramid- II allows Of greater rapidity
and De ORC believes that 1t will cause
matches TO be played from 25 to 40
per cent faster. It also insures the
continuity OF a run, as there win not
be the old argument as to safety and
breaking Of the pyramid interrupting
runs as is now the case.
