gain, came back and perched

gam, came BACK and perched ON |
the carriage top.
This time they gave it up and
he rode to church like a seminal
on top of the CART age.
When they arrived at the church
he flew to a tree and waited un-
til the family Were ready to re-
turn.
The next Sunday he was shut up
in an clubhouse while the family
went to church. Rowdy did not like
that and determined not to be
left behind again.
The following Sunday when it
was time to shut him up he could
not be found. AS he was gone a
great deal, anyway, they thought
nothing of his absence and started
for church
After they had gone some dis
lance they heard the familiar Cav,
cav, cav and Rowdy came swift
ly flying across lots, and took
his place on THE top of the car
riage.
After this he would always hide
when he saw the family prepar-
ing for church, and fall in with
them while they were on their
way.
He never made trouble while
there, but perched quietly in the
trees and waited until they were
ready to go home.
One Sunday he failed to appear
when the services We're over and
they were ready to return, and
they never saw him again. Wheth-
err he had been killed, like an or
binary crow, or just what his fate
was they never knew.
Although he was mischief, a
nuisance and a thief, all the fam
lily sincerely mourned the loss of
Laura's pet GROW.
He was the busiest little boy
That ever slammed door,
Or slid asaride a bannister,
! Or stormed acrcss a floor.
And all day long his restless feet
/ Went hurrying in and out,
| And all the yard and orchard place
Rang with his merry shout
But when the evening shadows fell
And birds had gone to bed,
Jim meekly sought his mothers
lap
/ And nestled down his head.
There never was a sweeter boy
/ AIT night than little Jim, (,
And when he krelt to say his
prayer
We well-nigh worshiped him.

The annual howl about trick pitch
Ing has been heard already.
Connie Mack Is the bowler, and,
while Connie can scarcely claim that

come out In favor Of legislation by
the rule-makers which will put the
grand kibOsh on shinanigans with a

And that Is just what Cornelius has
done. He Opines that Il would be bet

Connie goes on to opIne that some.
thing should be done to increase bat

PLACE SURE FOR MOLLWITZ

ability cavort Around Initial
Sack for Pirates.

Fred Mollwitz, who had no chance
to stick with the Reds after Hal Chase
became member of the club, and who
later was sent to Kansas City by the
Chicago Cubs, will in all probability ca
wort around the initial bag for the Pi-
rates next season.
MollwitZ was unfortunate In former
big league associations, but mt Pitts,
burgh it appears that he will have lit,
tie or no opposition and, as change
of clubs often works wonders with u
ball player, he may become recognized
as one of the big leagues best initial
bagmen.
With Vic Saier's broken leg mend
ed and his future usefulness as first
sacker practically assured, Fred Mitch
ell will have problem to solve In
choosing between Safer and Mcrkle.
Safer played the last few games of the
season at first base for the Cubs and
Merkle was played in the outfield.

NEW RULE FOR BASKETBALL
Coaches, Referees and Players Are
Studying Changes Made by Ma.
tional Rules Committee.

On the threshold Of new season,
coaches, referees and players are
studying the changes made by the ma
tiOnal basketball rules committee. Per-
haps the most important among the
new rules Is the establishment of the
"end ZOhe." This rule makes the
bounds extend two feet In back of
each basket. Thus the baskets are
placed within the field of play and
much work around and beneath bas-
kets is expected as n result. Another
rule change forces substitute, on en-
tering the game, to report to the scOr-
err as well rs to the referee. The rule
declaring the timekeeper's whistle as
the official ending of play will elm
mate many arguments resulting from
the delay In the referees whistle after
the timekeeper has sounded the final
whistle.

Big LEAGUE CLUES
AIM TO RETRENCA
Training Operations to Be Con.
Quoted on Very Modest
Scale.

From present indications spring
training operations of the 10 major
league ball clubs will be conducted on
very modest scale in 1913.
The heavy expense of taking big
squad of ball players to the sunny
Southland has caused talk of curtail-
ments along this line for several years,
but because of the hard knocks base
ball has taken I'm financial way and
the uncertainties of what the future
holds for the game owing to the world
war, there Is little chance that the club
owners will be ready to spend money
lavishly next spring.
A forerunner of the rctrenchment
policies of major league.owners was
found In the draft last September,
when the major league clubs drafted
fewer players than for the past ten
years. The Chicago White Sox, for
instance, did not draft single player.
Neither did the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Several other clubs drafted only one
or two men, and before spring train
ing time arrives next March there Is
Il chance that some of the drafted
players will be turned back.
The annual report of the national
commission, showing the players pur.
chased from the minor leagues by ma
jor league clubs between the dates of
the 1916 and 1917 drafts, showed u to-
tai of 127 players who were taken by
the big leagues under approved agree
ments, other than optional contracts.
In this list the Boston Red Sox did not
obtain single player by the purchase
route, while the Boston Braves got but
one. The drafted players totaled 33.
IL Of whom were drafted by American
league clubs and u by clubs In the
National league.
In oil the major leagues secured a
total of 100 players, including both
those purchased for trial and those
drafted. OF this number 1t Is said
that not more than 80 per cent will be
taken South next spring.

CREDIT PETEF, MAHER'
AS HARDEST HITTER
Presence Of Mind Of Joe Choynski
Saved Australian From
Knockout.

Joe Choynski's presence of mind
and his sheer nerve in pinch saved
Bob Fitzsimmons Knockout when he
met Peter Maher at New Orleans some
years ago.
If you doubt this statement, have
the boy page John ("Tex'') Dunn,
matchmaker of the Broadway Sporting
club Of Brooklyn, who was the master
of ceremonies ut New orleans on the
night of the Fitz-Niaher battle. Jawn
is authority for the statement. See
he:
you all seem to think that Fitzsim-
mons was the greatest hitter among
the heavies. Not sol
Peter Maher was the man!
''There is probably little doubt that
Fitz was the greatest hitter mt 1851
pounds, but Maher, ah. my boy, there
was the lad who could hit. There
never was man who breathed ut 175
or 1T pounds who could hit like Ma
her. Fitz didn't compare with him as
q hitter, for Maher knocked 'em down
stone dead and one solid punch was
enough.
"Do you know that Maher had Fitz
out In the first round of their battle
. In New Orleans? Well, he did. and
! know, because I was the master Of
ceremonies that night.
"Nlnher went after Bob with all the
gentieness of u wild man In the first
round, and Bob was on the floor, ready
for the shutter, when Joe Choynski,
his chief second, jumped into the ring,
kicking the bell with his foot as he
went, to end the round.
1T was a nervy, quick.wltted trick
on Choynski's part, but no one was
any the wiser. Bob was washed up
and told to jab In the second round,
and jnb he did. When Maher saw him
come back SO strong he had the fear
of the devil In his heart, and he told
his seconds that Fitz was devil In a
mans frame.
Bob kept jabbing Maher during the
next ten rounds. He jabbed Peters
nose into a tomato and Peter went Out
In the eleventh.
'Any time anyone tells you that Pc
ter Mnher wasn't the hardest-hittinG
human who ever pulled on u glove send
him around to me ind I'll convince
him."
