marks that IL this speed has been

catalogue of the visible stars. and this
nebula is not found in his list. although

The great lightweight who is to bat

LAWN on the jaw and the heavy
weight took q count of nine.
The blow was a corkScreW, identical
with the one that brought Kid Nc

travel more than five inches. Many
of New York's present ring stars were
at the exhibitions and they gave Char
ley a big hand at the finish of the
exhibition.

what both lads must weigh at 6

Chalmers DiscOntinues Baseball Hall
of Fame.

NEW YORK, Dec 2S.-The base
ball hall of fame. established five
years ago by Hugo Chalmers, has been
closed, and the custom of each year
presenting the most useful player of
the National and American leagues
with a Chalmers automobile has been
discontinued.
The players who have won the
honor in the two leagues are: Ty
Cobb (twice). Napoleon Lajoie, Frank
Schultz, Iris Speaker, Larry Doyle,
Walter Johnson. Jake Daubert, Eddie
Collins and Johnny Evers.
In disseminating the hall of fame
Mr.. Chalmers says The proposition
of having a baseball hall of fame. as
proposed by me, was 10 run for five
years. With the presentation this
year of the Chalmers trophy TO Eddie
Collins and Johnny Evers, the work
of the commission has come to an
end. 1t seems unlikely now and UNI
desirable. too. that we should con-
tinue these awards"
