The proposal 10 introduce a bill in
Parliament in England making 1t
PENAL offense for any man or youth
to play football unless he has served
in one of the branches of the military
service is merely an indication OF the
popularity OF the game of football IN
ali parts of the British Isles.
History tells US that in the time OF
Edward III. laws were made prohibit
ing the playing of football because IL
was responible for the decadence OF
nublic interest in archery, and in
r1izabethan, Georgian and Stuart
DAYS similar measures were put into
oDeration, but the public passion FOR
the game was more powerful than
the law, and today soccer football Is
a mighty octopus gripping every hole
and corner with it's ever expanding
tentacles. Danes, Swedes, Germans,
French, Dutch, Austrians, Russians,
Bohemians, Spaniards and Portu-
euese are rapidly coming under its
spell. and there is hardly city OF any
note on the continent of Europe that
does not have its clubs coached by
English and Scottish professionals
| At the Olympic games at Stockholm
England triumphed. but the play OF
the Danes and the Bohomians was SC
little inferior to that Of the best OF
England's amateurs that the supre-
macy of the old country may soon be
seriously challenged.

footballs popularity, let US turn u

Because the Jersey City bowlers'
who expected to take part in Penn
sylvania railroad night were obliged
to do some Office night work, the
special night for the railroad men
last night in the Star headpin tourria-
ment on the Iroquois alleys attracted
only thirty-five bowlers. Joe Nc
Wright, who attended to the Newark
bowlers, had his seven teams out,
but Jimmy Cochrane. who looked
after arrangements in Jersey City,
was disappointed when the ten teams
that he expected failed to appear. He
said that he would have the ten
teams out at late date. He
waited at the Iroquois alleys until
1:30 o'clock, hoping that some of the
Jersey City aggregation would be
able to attend. S. F. Mooney was the
star performer last night, having a
count of 40. This earned for him

SPORTING GOSSIP

Jack Goode would like to meet Jack
Coyne, of Orange, at any OF the local
fight clubs, the fight to take place
az soon as possible. Goode says he
has only been beaten once since
starting in the fistic game. Billy
Mellon, please take notice.
Big Ed Walsh, of the Chicago
White Six, pitched in sixty-three
games last season, and says he is go-
ing to beat that mark this year. He
is to get $500 next season and would
like to pitch 75 games, making his
salary $100 per game.
It's up to RUDE Marquart, of the
Giants, to break a contract in the
near future. He has agreed to play
ball this coming season, but he has
booked vaudeville engagements until
May Is, which is nearly three months
after the start of the spring training
season. If he keeps bad faith with
McGraw he will get poor standing
in baseball; if he breaks his theatrical
engagements he win be in bad with
theatrical managers. His present po-
sition Is not one to cause Rube joy
Gus peals of laughter, when he stops
to think abut it.
Marty Cutler tells a story of two
English boxers who were lighting
one night in Canada. One of the
men, who wanted to quit awfully
bad. would grunt every time he got
little punch in the stomach.
Finally he refused to go any further
and called to his seconds to put the
chair in his corner. The referee
rushed over to where he was sitting
and said: Whats the matter with
you-ain't you going to fight Snny
more?"
Flight any morel" groaned the
EngIishman, clutching at his stom

Bill Byron, the cocky little umpire,
who has been in the International
and Eastern League so long that the
fans really appreciated his work-an
unusual thing for an umpire--will be
missed by President Ed. Barrow's
league this year. Byron is as game
as a pebble and has been accused
of going out of his way to pick up
fights, but somehow or other no one
ever heard of him having much trout
BILE with ball players. They all respect
him. Byron never wore visible
chest protector all last season, work.
ing with only a mask behind the
plate.
Byron is not getting much press
notices from the big league papers
because he is a small fellow, while
they are raving about Guthrie, who is
built on Jeffries' lines. Wen make
a prediction that Byron is more pop
ular with the players and fans than
Guthrie will be after a month in the
big show. Guthrie may be all right,
but the seribes put him in bad with
the players when they told about the
stockyard fighter. Ball players can't
be scared that way. They resemble
the Missourian in a good many ways,
and they have to be shown. 1t was
really placing handicap on Guthrie
to boost his stock SO highly and tell
about his fistic prowess.
Armando Marsans, Cincinnati Red
outfielder, is a hold-out. Reports
from Havana, where Armando lives,
are rather vague as to his reasons
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-02-08

for holding out, but 1t is believed tha'
he objects TO playing In the sunfield
which place will be vacated by Mike
Mitchell and turned over to the Cuban
star. The combination of sun, smoke
and haze Is worse at Cincinnati than
at any other grounds in the league
and Marsans has played in the rlgnl
field times enough to know what a
disagreeable job it is.
Since his recent splendid victory in
the ten-mile road race at the MILL
rose A. A. games, Hannes Koleh-
mainen has been hailed as the great
est of all distance runners. His
splendid record for the course of 81
minutes and 25 seconds marks him as
superior to all others over the long
distance or middle distance routes.
The most remarkable thing abut the
Finn is that he is "self-made" in
every respect. Never having been ad-
vised by a competent coach, Hannes
has developed himself.
Though he has passed the top of
his usefulness, Bobby Wallace, vet
eran shortstop of the ST. Louis
Brwns, will never have his pay cut
again in his major league career. wal
lace doesn't like the idea OF having
his salary reduced annually, and has
been informed by President Hedges
that the salary he gets this year Will
he his salary for all the future years
he is with the Browns. When his
usefulness in fast company is passed
he will be made free agent, with
license to sell himself at the best
market.
Mike Balenti, st. Louis Brown re-
cruit will have long way to travel
to report TO his team this spring.
Balenti is an Alaskan Indian, and is
spending the winter with his Wife ur
in the vicinity of the north pole.
Balenti was with Chattanooga last
year and made good.
A Wall Street man was treasurer OF
the New York Giants when Amos
Rusie was the best paid man on the
team. The treasurer went out to the
Polo grounds one day, and noticing
that Rusie wasn't in the lineup

to know the reason why.

manager.

New York baseball fans may have
the opportunity of witnessing their
favorite game on Sunday during the
season of 1918. Gay old Gotham, IN
which more crooked deals are pulled
off in a year than are thought OF in
all the rest of the country during the
same length of time. Is too yirtuous
to permit baseball playing on sunday.
There must be an outward semblance
of decency. In Jersey City, however.
Sunday ball is permitted, and the
nlan is now to build a large ball park
in Jersey City just at the end OF the
Hudson river tunnel lines to New
ark. Here the New York teams could
play any day of the week. The pro-
posed park is within twenty minutes
ride OF Herald Square, the centre OF
New York city.
