MAKES PLAN THAT
WOULD RAISE THE
HITTING AVERAGE

Many suggestions have been offered
with view to increasing the batting,
in the belief that the fans would vel
come change that would bring about
this result, and Miller Higgins voices
the opinion that the most simple
course that might be pursued to
achieve this object would be to cut
down pitching stats. Says Higgins:
1T stands to reason that small
staff of pitchers, each man working
often and forced to 60 through with
practically every game started by him
becaue of an absence of reserve pitch
ers, would yield more hits than one
which has not worked so hard. How
ever, do not believe that there is any
great demand on the part of the gen.
eral public for an increase in hitting
The fans have become educated to
small scores and close games and have
learned to like them"

AUTHORIZING RULES
STILL LAW IN EAST

New York, Feb. 6.-Justice Hen
drick in the supreme court here yes
terday declared the New York state
anti-prize fighting law constitutional
when he dismissed writ of habeas
corpus obtained by a. boxer who had
been arrested for taking part in d
bout to which an admission fee had
been charged. 1t was claimed the
boxer did not know the audience had
paid to see the exhibition.
When man participates in a
sparring match is seems 10 me quite
reasonable to presume that he must
know whether he is giving the exhibit
ton gratis or whether he receives
compensation" declared Justice Hen
drick. IF the latter, it is only a step
to the presumption that he must
know the sources from which the
money is received. If there is no ad
mission fee, no offense is committed.
If there is fee it is so nearly part
of the exhibition as to render the par
ticipant amenable to the penalty pre-
scribed
"Sparring in itself is not inherently
wrong. The legislature has not I'M
| dertaken to declare it SO. Nor is spar
ring as an exhibition for money evil in
itself. But in the judgment of the
legislature it tends to corrupt the pun
lie morals. and for that reason it is
| prohibited"

final TRIBUTE IS
PAID TO FIGHTER

RICH AND POOR ALIKE ATTEND
Temperance Leaders Testify His
Greatest Victory Was When He
Conquered Drink.

Boston. Feb. 6.-Final tribute to a
great champion was paid today when
the body of John L. Sullivan was bur-
led in Calvary cemetery.
In the crowds that lined the snow
filled streets as the casket was borne
from the home of Sullivan's sister,
Mrs. Annie Lennon, in the Roxbury
district, to St. Paul's church, where
the funeral mass was celebrated, were
scores of children bidding farewell to
their big pal, For them the tales
of his prize ring days were legends.
They remembered him best as their
big pal" whose watchword was cour-
| age and who RECALLED them with stories
Of kings and presidents he had met.
| At the funeral mass were men and
women from every walk of life. Sulli-
van virtually had been out Of sport
ing life ever since James J. Corbett
won the American heavyweight cham
pionship from him by knockout at
New Orleans in 1892, and the honor
paid his memory today came from
walks far removed from the squared
circle"
Leaders of the temperance move
ment were there to testify to their re-
gard for the man who boosted that his
greatest victory was gained when he
conquered drink. Many were there
also whom the former champion had
helped in their hours of need. while
unmindful of the bitter cold land de-
moralized transportation neighbors
who had watched Sullivan settle down
to country life journeyed from his for
mer home in Arlington, where he died
suddenly of heart disease last Sat
urday. Nor did the sporting frater-
nifty forget their once great idol. and
they came in numbers from far and
near.
Buried Beside Vile.
Requiem high mass was celebrated
by Rev. F. J. Allchin, assistant pastor
OF St. Paul's church. The burial was
in Calvary at Forest Hills beside the
body of Sullivan's wife

WESTERN LEAGUE

Denver Will Be Dropped From List

this year, with Omaha. Des Moines,

tain of membership, according to E.
W. Dickerson, president of the league,
who returned here from Grand Rapids,
Mich, where he has been spending
several weeks.
Owing to the destruction by fire OF
the park at Lincoln, Neb., recently
there is some doubt as to whether
that club will be on the circuit this
year, Mr.. Dickerson said. Sioux City
is bidding strongly for the Lincoln
franchise, he declared. Topeka is
anxious to have Western league ball
again this year, he asserted.
1.-The mileage this year is going to
be greatly reduced by the substitution
of some more centrally located city
| for Denver. If we move eastward
some other Illinois town, or perhaps
Hannibal, Mo-, will be paired. A de.
cision in the matter will be made
shortly. Within short time l shall
visit Topeka, Sioux City, Hannibal
and several other towns under con-
sideration, and then call a meeting Of
the club owners to make the two OIL
possibly more changes" President
Dickerson said.
| The league headquarters will BIZ

erson announced that the season
! would begin the first week in MAY
and end the second or third week il

KILRAIN PRAISES
SULLIVAN AS man

Late COnquerOr.

Boston Mass, Feb. 6.-While the
sporting world prepared to pay its
farewell tribute here to John l.. Sulli-
van, former worlds heavyweight;
champion, Jake Kilrain, with whom
Sullivan fought his greatest battle,
sat in his little home here yesterday
afternoon and turned his memory bac',
over the days when he and Sullivan
were kings in their game.
A 75-round battle on the turf in
Mississippi was the Sullivan-Kilrain
contribution to the history Of pugil-
ism, and it lives now as one of the
most gruelling and most savage bat
ties ever staged.
kilrain, aged now, was stauncn
defender of the man who beat him
into submission that blistering hot
day. He toured the country with Sui.
Ivan later and knew many incidents
in connection with the life of the old
gladiator.
He wasn't rough" Kill ain declared
In spite of the many stories that
have been told Of his righteousness al
times ] contend he was one of the
tenderest men ever seen. have
known him to give money away a,
times-not knowing who got it, and he
didn't care"
kilrain brought sadder angle into
the death of the fighter when he told
his questioners John L. had not beer
happy since the death of his wife a
few months ago.
1t didn't seem Just right that he
should lose her." kilrain said. He

years. She was a childhood sweet.

UNION OF LEAGUES
WITH M. H. SEXTON

Chicago, Feb. 6.--Mike Sexton, pres

Minor leagues, was a visitor in Chi
cago yesterday and talked with Pres
ident Tearney of the Three-Eye re-
garding the prospect of merging two
or three small minor leagues into one
for the coming season. Neither Sex
ton nor Tearney think such thing
would pay any dividends, but for the
sake of keeping the game going
throughout the war. they may favor
it when the minor league leaders get
together some time soon at a meeting
in Peoria
