SUGGESTS CHANGES.
A. \. |. Official Would Dispense With
 Tossing Ball to Ccnters.

Cleveland, Feb. 9.-George Hep bron representing the Amateur Ath- ietic Union, and authority on basket ball coaches and players, said recently he is considering a suggestion for change in the rules of the game made to him by Karl kist, local Y. M. C. A physical director.
 Kist favors dropping the present method of tossing up the ball to the centers at the opening of the game and after each field goal. He would substitute tossing the ball in from the side lines, just as is done when it goes out of bounds.
 This he says, would do away with the advantage which tall center gives to a team and would permit a team to consist of five all-around ath- letes rather than four experts and one string bean"

 According to American officials, the settlement is based on a virtual com pliance by Germany to all of the de- 1nands of the United States as set forth in the first American note of May 13 and reiterated in the notns of June g and July 21.
 A similar statement was made in German circles, although it was added that by avoiding the use of the word 'i1legal' in describing the sinking of the Lusitania Germany has saved her self from humiliation.

FEATS OF FAME IN
 DIAMOND HISTORY
"Old Hoss'' Pitched 72 Games and Then RctireS When He Finds
 He Is "AH In.''
He Is "tH In

The after effects of performing
 agers has voted the greatest and sec
 ond greatest feats in baseball, were
 extremely different
 "Old floss" Radbourne. who per the managers, when he pitched seven ty-two games for the Providence club in 1884, a record for the number pitched by a hurler in a single season, was useless the following season.
 Willie keeler, given the honor of performing the second greatest by going through the season of 1896, with Baltimore, without striking out, was as good as ever many years after ward.
 Radbourne's feat was one of physi- cal endurance. Only q man of un- usual strength could pitch seventy two games in a season--thirtv-sev ven of them in succession. keelers feat was one of keen judgment. Ability to pick out good balls and crack them made it possible for him to go to the plate 700 times without flaming, performance never euualed by even such great batters as Dan Brouthers, Pop Anson, Hans Wagner, Larry Laioie or Ty Cobb.
 When Radbourne took on the prop osition of pitching every game his team played from the middle of the season on, he said:
 I'll pitch every game and win the pennant or pitch my arm off," He did both.
 Keeler could judge pitched ball to fraction of an inch. He is said to be the only player who ever um- plred his own games. When he let T ball pass, umpires were satisfied IL was not over the plate and called 1t "baIl."
 kccler and Jesse Burkett were the same's greatest place hitters. KeeIer usd a short, thick bat, and grippd it so far LID on the handle that only half Of the bat extended beyond his han(s. He poked the ball just over the heads Of lnfelders When outfielders moved in to stop his short drives, he swung at the ball and sent it over the out fielders' heads
 Besides going through the 1896 sea son without flaming, Keeler set 1 record for the number of hits made ] o% National League player. He cracked 243 safeties. His average for Inc season was 39o He batted o,-ar. 300 thirteen consecutive seasons- S94 to 1906, inclusive He beat his mark of .392 twic, batting 394 in S95 and .432 in 1897.
 Radbourn, after his feat. went back o the diamond the following year ut found he had pitched his arm way. He was as strong as strong of cart as ever, but his curves lacked nap and the old zip as missing from is fast ball.
