Yanks and Giants May Clash.
With the Yankees training at Houston,
and the Giants at Marlin, Tex, 1t is not
improbable that the two New YORK teams
VIII find a way to get together Tor an
eZtemporaneOus setto somewhere IN the
state Of Texas
The schedule of exhibition games for the
various teams as they slowly work their
way up northward in the last two weeks
or so Of the preseason drudgery looms up
more massive than ever before The Vari-
Gus club owners are beginning TO realize
that several large chunks Of coin can be
accumulated in this way before the for
NAL drop Of the hat.
Filling Vacancies Of Jumpers
One interesting phase Of the training
period this year will be the efforts Of
several. managers to develop men to fill
positions vacated bv players who jumped
to the Federal league The Phtlhes Will
try to find an acceptable second baseman
to take the place left by Otto knabe, who
now IS manager Of the Baltimore Feds. The
Brooklyns will attempt to develop short
stop to fill Joe Tinker's shoes. Frank
Chance, Of the Yankees, viii be up against
the problem Of teaching somebody to play
second base where ROlie Zeider, who
jumped to the Chicago Federals, was eX-
pected to fill in. New pitchers will be
ana Kahler; the Phillies who lost Brennan;
the Detroit Tigers, who lost Willett; and
the Yankees, who lost Russell Ford, as
we'll as catcher Sweeney.

By DAMON RUNYON.

Harry Pollok, Freddie Welsh, the
English lightweight, announces that
he wants to again meet Johnny Dun
dee. Moreover, Freddie says he is
willing to bet $4,000 of his own money
on the result The presum 1tion is
that he wishes to bet the money on
himself, although he does not specify.
His ultimation that he has $4,000 in
dIcates that the one night stands
proved very profitable, and that he is
very thrifty young man.
Freddie and Johnny fought at New
Orleans not so long ago, and Freddie
is said to have won after terrible
race to the telegraph wire between
Mr.. Pollok and Mr.. Monteith, VINO is

the way Mr.. MOnteith relates the cir
cumstance, anyway.
Wants Return Date.
Now Mr.. Welsh expresses a desire
for return engagement at 1913 pounds,
the weight to be made at 3 o'clock,
while Mr.. MOnteith thinks 135 ring
side would be fair. AS Dundee came
in at 125 pounds for fight not so
long ago, even 1875 pounds at the mo-
ment Mr.. Humphreys raises his melO
dious voice would seem to be giving
the New York lad all the worst of
the weights. Welsh has a high re-
gard for Dundee's ability, to hear him
tell it. but his apparent anxiety to
meet Mr.. MOnteith's prOtegee strikes
an outsider as the tip off on Mr..
Welsh's private opinion of Johnny.
While on the subject of Mr.. Welsh,
some thing should be said about an
other plant raised by the English
fighter It has reference to the an
1ouncement from San Francisco that
Willie Richie, the lightweight cham
piOn, is about to tear out for Aus
tralia to fight three fights. after he
meets Tommy Murphy in San Fran
cisco if ne ever does. Freddie wants
to know why Richie does not meet
the man who beat him once before, the
same being Mr.. Welsh.

CHANGES ARE MADE
IN PLAYING RULES

New York, Feb. 14.-Several changes
in the DIaving rules were made today
bv the Joint committee of the major
league rules committee. The meeting
was attended by president Johnson OF
the American league, John A. HeydIer,
secretary of the American league ana
John 3. Foster, secretary OF the New
York club.
The most important change was to
forbid a coacher to stop a runner
with his hands or obstructing him IN
any way. .
The runner shall be declared out II
the coacher tries to stop him by physl-
cal means.
Another change in the rules govern
ing coaching permits the coacher YER
baIly to encourage the batsman as well
as the base runner. The rules hereto
fore only permitted the cOacher to
encourage the base runner.

opportunity TO tOppie the reign Of the
black dynasty in pugilism will pass.
1t is by no means impossible that
two ring titles will be held by one
man in the near future. This man is
Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul shadow,
who is trying to reach the top of the
welterweight and middleweight classes
and is so near his mark in both at the
present time that a couple of battles
can settle the question.
It has been years since a boxer of
class aspired to hold two ring titles
at the same time. In the days of
FitzsimmOns, WOlcOtt and a few of
those old timers, fighters were able
to accomplish such feats but each of
the present day crop is content to
hold q championship in one division
and then wants to fight about once
a year if stage money is in sight to
keep the bank roll in good shape
But in Gibbons we find a man will
ing to fught anyone from las to 100
pounds and the best weight of this
scientific riugster is about $50.
Gibbons knocked out Ferns and beat
most Of the other wOuld-be claimants
OF the welterweight championship. He
was considered the title holder, but
along came Packey Mcfarland, the
most scientific boxer of modern times,
who moved up to the weller division
in order to meet Gibbons, remOnstrat-
ing that he IS not picking soft ones

which have been popular
during the last year or two are the
painted stakes, designed for flower
supports. These have ornamental tops
in various designs, as illustrated, and
are designed to serve as supports to
tall and slender flower sprays, such as
roses and gladioli. which may be too
heavy to support their own weight at
the height OF the Towering period.
Newer than these. however, are wire
supports, shaped something like fork,
the end Of the fork being two pointed
pieces Of wire about six inches long,
which are put into the earth and are
united above and are then twisted to-
gether to form a support which is
much more flexible than wood. 1t will
give in the wind and allow motion to
any stalk tied to il without allowing
it to fall to the ground.
Wire Flower Supports.
These flexible wire supports come
in several sizes. They have loose
bits OF wire twisted in at two or three
places up and down their length, these
always being ready to twist around
the flower stalk and hold it gently yet
firmly in place.
Mention of the artistic new water
ing pots which every garden lover
