worlds series. The same ball was used and good pitchers found no trouble in stopping heavy hitting. It was inferior pitching that increased the hitting more than anything else last season." Heydler said.
 Restoration of the use of rosin or any other substance to help the pitcher get a grip on the ball will not be authorized, according to the National League chief, who says that his league has solved the problem of the slippery new ball by per mitting the umpires to take the gloss off the hide by hubbing it with a white clay that does not discolor the pellet
 We have been giving it the test and we have found that it solves the prob lem," he said.
 Heydler expects the coming meeting to be one of the quietest i'll the rather turbulent history of the major leagues, because there Is nothing to squabble over but the transforming Ruth and the mag mates are only passiveIy interested in the case as Commissioner Landis has it in his hands.
 Although it will not be called official ly to the magnates' attention, Heydler is going to ask National League to draw the lines a little closer on hits and not be so ready to let fie1ders out of an error on questionable hit. The National League boss said the scoring during the worlds series was most surprising at times

FOREIGN CHAMPS
 NOT RANKED HIGH
 IN UNITED STATES
After Seeing Those Who Have Broken Out Here, It's
 Enough.

America does not think much of the class of foreign champions.
 Results, more than prejudice, lead to this opinion.
 After seeing Carpenter, Mile. Leng- len, Wilies Hunter and the constant pro- cession of British fighters that come over with title and leave victim of second raters, the crown of European cham pion" does not stand very high on the American sport exchange.
 It is very unusual then to have a British champion visit these shores, go down to defeat twice and yet have that beaten champion regarded as the greatest player in the world.
 However, that is just what happened in the case of Miss Cecil Leitch, the British woman golf champion
 Uncle Sam thought that Miss Alexa Sterling, the Atlanta girl, was some golf player and when she was defeated twice by Miss Leitch Americans were inclined to throw off the cynicism with which they usually looked at British appraisal of greatness and agree that the British woman was the greatest of them all.
 Naturally the invasion last summer of America by Miss Leitch was one of the banner events of the golf season. The British champion started off auspiciously enough by defeating Miss Sterling for the Canadian woman title.
 Then came the reverses

BRUSH SORE OVER TREATMENT GIVEN
 IN THIS COUNTRY
English Boxer, Peeved at Lacing, Writes Note of Complaint
 Back Home.

Danny Frush, former British feather weight can't get over the pasting that Johnny Kilbane gave him last summer in Cleveland.
 Frush has written a letter to Harry Levine in London telling him all about 1t to show "what an Englishman is up against over here"
 He goes on at length to tell the meager terms that he got for being knocked out by the featherweight cham pion, but he does not mention the fact that in one way he was fortunate to get into the ring with the Cleveland Irish man, since there are several American featherweights who have been trying to get match with him for two years.
 Brush intimates that he wants to get away from all of it over here and go back to London to fight for the British title. He has appointed Levene his man. ager in Britain.
 His letter, reproduced in a London paper, follows:
 q remember that Freddy Welsh cheerfully lost money in order to get Willy Ritchie in the ring with him, he knew well that if victory came his way he would reap fortune. So I agreed to everything he (Kilbane) said. I never thought at the time that the referee would give me a rotten deal, or I might have stuck out for more money. It just shows you what an Englishnan is up against out here.
 Now, Harry, l want to come home. I have beaten Andy Clancy (winner of the diamond studded belt given by Tex Rickard for the best featherweight in America), Tommy Noble, Al Schubert Joe Leonard, Charlie Beecher, Sammy Seeger and Artie Root (K. O. twice), to mention a few, and I think these per for1nances entitle me to box for the English featherweight title. If you can arrange such a match I am prepared to bet % pounds or 1000 pounds of my own money, knowing that I shall get square deal in the Old Country
 "See what you can do for me, Harry only do 1t quickly, as 1 am fed up, since they allow the knee to be used in fights here It IS true that Kilbane will never be allowed to box in Ohio again, but think the commission after Investigating facts, should have taken his title from him and given 1t to me-"

INCOME TAX ON TIPS.

Revenue authorities in Great Britain have ruled that railway porters and guards must pay income tax on the amount of tips they receive. Heretofore these employees contended that tips were gifts, and as such exempt from taxation. The revenue officials base their claims on recent court decision which held tips to be legal part of the mems earnings, and as such must be considered in com pensating injured employees

Changes in the pitching rules or dis cussion of the lively ball" will not re- ceive the slightest consideration at the winter baseball meetings, is the opinion of John A. Heydler, president of the National League
