A GREAT BAR OFF NEW
YORK CITY PROPOSED
SHIP OWNERS CONSIDERING
PLANS FOR A BIG COAL
ING" STATION.

GOTHENBERG-A floating liq-
uor city, holding one of the finest and
largest stocks OF booze in the world,
10 miles off New York-no secret
rum runners paradise, but sound
business Investments planned by
the members of the Atlantic Shipping
Association.
This plan, which British ship own
ers proposed, was quickly adopted by
Swedish owners here The cost Of
building the floating liquor coaling
station will be borne by all the lines.
The station will be erected at great
cost by foremost experts who are de-
vising a means of anchoring the
structure to permit of the sales of liq-
uor and liquor coaling and uncoaling,
Swedish ship owner declared.
The British system of having the
passengers write out cards saying the
quantity of liquor they will consume
has been adopted, but ship owners are
faced with the problem of loading for
the return voyage realizing that
Americans will want drinks immedi-
ately the ship is on the high seas.
Some owners proposed that all ships
call at Halifax or other Canadian
ports, but it is felt that this would
be too expensive on account of the
mileage. The success of the present
rum runners prompted the proposal to
float the great liquor docks and ware
house at some quiet place on the high
seas. 1t is expected that the proposal
will be a reality before the season is
overs

BY BILLY EVANS.

Philadelphia, Aug. 22.-Few man.
ayers are encouraged with q seventh
place ball club, but Arthur Fletcher
of the Philadelphia Nationals is al.
exception.
From the low position of the Phil
lies one gets a picture of disor-
ganiZed, dissatisfied collection of
ball players. But quite the contrary
is the condition in Art Fletcher's
family, and Fetch, at present is see
ing daylight for the first time in his
managerial career.
The main difficulty with the Phil
lies, in Fletcner's opinion, has not
been weak pitching as has been re-
ported by the judges of the press
box. Far from that. 1t has been
weak defense on the left side OF
the infield.
In the first place, it must not be
forgotten that Fletcher had to piece
together his infield from rather
motley collection. He has Walter
Holke. last year with Boston. at
first; /started with Parkinson and
now has Cotton Tierney, formerly
with the Pirates. at second; Heine
!. Sand. last season with Salt Lake. is
at short, and third base has been
turned over to Wrightstone.
Weak Defense Fatal.
Up until this season these four
had never played together before.
eve may look bad where we are"
remarked Fletcher the other day,
"but don't judge everybody by their
looks particularly this ball club.
mot exaggerating, know Of at
least 10 games that were lost
through weak fielding around the
left side of the infield-eames. let
me tell you, that we had won and
were lost by the one field slip.
"We had the Giants beaten In six.
games this season closing the sew
enth inning. and lost them down the
stretch. Figures will support my
talk. Can't beat that for rough luck
whipping the world champions
right down to the stretch and then
losing.

are star attractions at the cheaper
variety houses in Berlin, and attract
many tourists to these places of
amusement. There are several groups
of women pugilist which spar in
various cabarets and music-halls,
and they box with great vigor.
One of the best-known female box
ers has nose which is badly de-
formed from having been broken,
and another has a caulifower ear.
Most of the female pugilsts are
young and extremely active. They
are about as scientific as many Of the
men who pose as professional boxers,

years.
"That does not mean that the love
story has become questionable" Mr..

in front.
What better illustration would
you want than the home-run record
being made by Cy Williams? When

aren't hitting home runs. There is
fine morale around the camp but
you know it takes time to rebuild

Pulling Plays
BY Billy Evans

THE PLAY
A few years ago two unusual plays
came up on the Detroit American
League grounds.
Ground rules were in vogue. An
overflow crowd caused ropes to be
stretched in front Of the right field
bleachers. Balls hit into such terri
tory were good for two bases.
In one game a hard hit line drive
struck in front Of the roped territory,
bounded over the heads Of the spec
tators back Of the ropes and went in
to the bleachers, without coming in
contact with any person or thing OIL
restricted territory.
Later, a batsman hit q fly ball
which struck in the territory back
Of the ropes. 1t then bounded into
the bleachers. Both plays appeared
identical, yet different rulings were
rendered in each case. The second hi.
was the longer.
What would have been the proper
ruling.

did. The bal! struck on playing terri

Shortly before the Civil War, Bos-
ton made it a prison offense to take
bath except on the advice of physi-

to make it illegal to battle between
November / and March Is and failed
by one vote. Virginia placed luxury
tax of $50 on each bathtub in the
state.
Ideas regarding cleanliness have
changed materially since then. In
fact, ideas on almost everything have
undergone something of metamor-
phosis Today, these changes are
taking place more rapidly than ever
before. There has never been time
when evolution hit such a furious
pace-when conditions changed so
quickly when standards of living
were raised so consistently.
