BASE BALL A La FRANCE
Sporting Writers cover There"
Make Gallant Attempts to Ex- 4
plain Game to Readers. :.

Base ball having been introduced in
France by our soldiers. sailors and
ambulance men. the French sporting
writer's are making gallant attempts
to explain the game to their readers.
Following is an excerpt from a French
sporting journal:
THE theque is the ancient game of
ball to the field modified and regu-
lated. One can play to ten. but to well
play the theque It is necessary to be
eighteen players. The dimension of
the ground is iillmitable, all the same
she ought not to have less than 300
square meters. One traces a polygon,
of which each side can have from five
to ten meters. The bases are indicated
by blocks Of wood. The first chamber
(home p1ate) or base is ordinarily
square of two meters of side. The
post Of ;emplacement of the lancer
fpitcher) ought to find itself at four
meters from the first base. The lancer
ought not to eject the ball. but lance
her in such fashion that she arrived
between the shoulder and the knee of
the beaten (batter). The role of beater
is of to beat the ball-as soon as she
is served-in the direction which he
desires (but all the same before his
feld) and far enough for to permit
him of to run at least Just to the sec
ond base and thus soon again Just TO
the base of return. The play OF the
opposed field IS to send back the ball
the most rapidly possible to prevent
the beaten from to make his run
around"

RULES HURT BASE RUNNERS.
Unfair in Depriying Them of Credit
for Thefts Earned

BAH players say that one of the scor-
ing rules that ought to be changed is
that one that does not give a steal
when double steal is essayed and one
OF the participants is caught They
do not claim that when a double steal
lis started from second and first the
man who is not nailed should be credit
ed with a theft, but their line of areu-
ment runs as to the two-piy larceny
started from third and first In which
the player at the near corner crosses
Tallyville. frequently through heady
work on the part of his associate who
is trapped. and sometimes through the
boneheaded work of the partner who
was SHARED.
The man who scores, they argue is
Just as much entitled to a steal as the
man who raises a sacrifice fly that is
muffed is entitled to be relieved from a
time at bat. Games frequently are won
by the man on first allowing himself
purposely to be caught off that bag
SO that his partner on third can have
a chance to skip plateward.
The Intelligent athletes do not wish
to see.a a sacrifice steal incorporated
In the box score--they say there is
enoubh in the box scores now-but they
would like to get the credit of being
just as. good base stealers as were the
players, of years ago. who then got
credit for thefts on double steal when
one man was caught and got credit
for a theft when oversliding the bag.

Stranger" Lewis declares he is not
the inventor of the much talked about
head lock. Il learned that hold from
Fred Bee1.' said the wrestler recently.
Seven years ago I wrestled Beel, then
still a great grappler, and he threw me
and threw me badly. In that bout he
used the head lock. and that's where q
learned to use it," Beel never used the
conk crusher which Lewis applied to
his victim. Beel specialized in the head
in chancery hold. out of which Lewis
developed the head lock.

The winter exodus Of golf professionals
to berths in the south has practically
ceased Some of the pros do not leave
for the south until about the first OF the
year, but most of them already have
passed through Washington on the way to
their winter Jobs. Ben Nichols. brother
Of Gilbert Nichols. and the only pro in
America who has individually defeated
Harry Vardon. has beer in Washington
for the past three days, and left for his
club, the Mecklenburg Country Club of
Charlotte, n. G., last night. Nichols has
been In New York for the holidays and
brings back word of the probable return
to golf of John ]. McDermott. former
holder Of the American open champion
ship. "McDermott." says Nichols. seems
TO have recovered from the mental trouble
which caused him to give up golf shortly
after having won the Shawnee tourna-
ment from Vardon and Ted Ray, and Is
planning to enter again the competitive
ranks in the spring. If he does We will
see one OF the countrys greatest golfers
in action again."
McDermott suffered a mental break
down shortly after he won the Shawnee
event and has since been confined in a
sanatorium.
Professionals at the local CLUBS re-
ported no golf at all on courses about
Washington for the past week. Not
only did the deep snowfall keep golf
ers off the courses. but II they cared to
pIay 1t was entirely too cold to hold a
club. Yesterdays rising temperature
Is very likely to be the precursor of
warmer weather which Will melt the
snow and permit golfers out on the
links, according to one of the experts
in the weather bureau who is a golfer
himself and is anxious to swing club
again.
Holworthy Hall, author of many golf
stories and writer of "DornIie One" be-
lieves he has right to talk about golf
and gives the following reasons as his
excuse:
Ffrst-since 1896, when first saw the
game of golf played at ST. Augustine

played over l 800 rounds of golf.

CUBAN PLAYERS AVAILABLE.
Many Ball Tossers on Island Willing
to Play,in United States.

If the draft makes inroads on ball
teams, 1t is said that there will be a
wholesale invasion of America by Cuban
ball players who will seek. places on
major and minor league teams.
Cuba has declared war against Ger
many. but has rot formed a conscripted
army. and it's citizens would be permitted
to play base bali in the United States
without interference.
Cuba has more and better ball players
than any country outside of the United
States and is in position to fill the gaps
on teams caused by the draft.

THINKS FULTON CAN
BEAT JESS WILLARD
Monroe Says Fred Could Cut
Champion to Pieces in a
Few Rounds.
By Ripley.

If Jess Willard agrees to meet Fred
Fulton in a championship bout the fight
will arouse a great deal of interest and
provoke many arguments as to the re-
spective merits of the fighters When
Willard was matched to meet Jack
Johnson there was not a great di-
versity of opinion expressed over the
outcome. Most every one picked the
wrong man to win. Willard was con-
ceded to have little or no chance of
defeating the. big colored champion.
Yet Willard won, although there are
many who refuse to believe that the
fight was really on its merits. Any
way. Willard became the new cham
pion.
Since then Willard. has fought only
one important fight. that with Frank
Moran. who he easily defeated al New
York. Meanwhile Fred Fulton has been
coming to the front. He is not -classed
as a great battler. but neither is will
lard. and there are some good judges
of boxers who believe that Fulton, de-
spite his record In the ring, would have
very good chances of winning from
willard 80
Among those who think Fulton could
defeat Willard in a championship bout
is none other than George Monroe. well
known by-reteran fans as a once great
featherweight and by later-day fans as
a referee. coach and promoter of box
ing. At present George is conducting
boxing club at New Haven Incl
dentally. he was one of Johnson's chief
seconds when Willard won the title at
Havana on April S. 1915 So George
knows Jess and his ability. and, still
being ring general his views on what
"a rfAd ~
lard ever clash over a distance are
interesting. Monroe says:
