generally accepted as being the log

the worlds lightweight champion.
There is only one way his claim to
the championship can be disputed.
and that is by inviting him to fight

were listed by the New York Box.

elimination tournament that was
planned as the means of finding
Leonard's successor.
Mandell, ferris and Johnny Dun

pulled out of the tournament, how
ever. and they took with them most
OF the prestige that the commission
hoped the winner OF the tournament
would gain.
Both Mandell and Terrls were will.

EDDIE COLLINS
TObE WATCHED
Chicago Manager viii
RI Club for the
First Time.
BY JOHN B. FosTER

ilSAts 1850 Jasper lflDUlcl
NV YORK, Feb. 21.-Eddie Col
Inns will be one OF the most interest
ing figures in big league baseball this
season as he will be the only big
league manager to be undergoing his
baptism of fire. All the other man.
ayers have had at least one season OF
experience and hard knocks.
Collins, though, has had SO much
experience as a major league player
that he knows about what is coming
10 him and he isn't afraid OF the
knocks. Indeed, he has had e pretty
good look in on the trials and trib-
ulations Of managership through his
service as captain of the Chicago
White Sox.
1T Toes not seem any different to
be manager" Collins told the writer
the other day. "a manager does not
do anything except give advice II
assume responsibility. I do not know
how good the advice will be that l
shall retail to the players OF the
White Sox but I'm willing to assume
the responsibility. I'm only Just be-
ginning but I'm not much OF a be-
lever in the theory that the manager
is the whole thing in baseball. Seems
to me that the managers have some
credit coming to them. l guess that's
due to the fact that I've been a play
err so long myself.
Nov and then the boys In h
field do things that the manager
would not have time to tell them TO
do and those are the little plays that
win ball games. II you can win about
two games more all around from the
other teams than they win from you,
the pennant is yours. But you can't
do that unless the boys in the field
use their heads in the pinches.'
What chance have you for 1885,
tho writer asked.
"Nfight have worse. I have a pref
ty good ball team. II there is a play
er OF those now reserved by
club who can make a good shortstop
he will get the job. We've got TO
have a little more strength at short
than we had last season. But with
Kamm at third, myself at second
and Shelley at first, the ball can be
handled pretty well. Give US a good
shortstop and put him between
Kamm and me and you will see
Kamm shine as the greatest third
baseman OF the league. I'll take my
chances, being an old player-not In
years. YOU know. but don't forget
that I've been playing baseball quite
a long time"
r'How about the pitchers?'
I'VE could stand more pitching
too. But every team is that way.
show me a team that is not asking
for more pitchers, even when they
are presumed to be filled up with
the best in the circuit. I've never yet
seen a manager who would admit he
had enough pitchers, Most of ours
had arm trouble last season. I'm hop
ng they will come around all right
this year. But OF course, I'd lilse TO
have some more
"And of course you do not expect

Exactly. ] do not know what

With The
.Alibi Artists
Revolving Bootleggers'
Permits Should Help
Situation in Capital
b. DONALD McDOUGAI,.

We don't know just how
many licensed bootleggers there
are in Washington licensed
bOotlegger being a man known
for a bootlegger, yet holding q
permit to drive g motor vehicle
In the District-but q safe guess
is 500 or more.
These are the men-and women
whose names composed the
rum-runners' register, so usefu-
to the police.
From this social circle come the
mile-a.minute men who miss their
aim occasionally, and kill some
one.
To revoke the permits OF these
individuals would not end rum
running in Misunderstanding
will-but 1t would tone down the
wild west tinge Of our traffic haz-
ards by several degrees.
Most of these bad actors are
known to the police. An officer
seeing one of them in the act Of
driving a car, whether loaded or
not, and knowing the prospects
permit has been revoked, doesn't
need to chase him.
He gets a warrant for the man
and a night or two later the law
breaker is taken unobtrusively
out of his bed without disturbance
to anyone and locked up. Every
thing is quiet and ship-shape, the
way it should be in an orderly
community.
In about three cases out Of
ten or so, the officer will fail
to make his case. The defend
ant will convince the court that
he was in Baltimore at the time,
and he Is the victim Of mistaken
identity.
But the wild West method
doesn't offer any better results.
Three times out of ten or so
the man will get away, or he'll
throw his load overheard before
the officers reach him, and
they'll have difficulty in proving
to the court that the glass they
picked up four blocks down the
road came from the defendants
car.
It's hard to tell just where a
Navigation jar OF corn liquor

thrown out Of a car a block
ahead, and at night.
A man convicted Of rum-run-
ming usually pays fine in about
the same way he'd pay for a
broken spring on his car, and
hurries out to fill his delayed
orders.
But when he's convicted of
driving without permit, he'll
lose all his trade before he gets
back.
When the new raffic regula-
lions went into effect, there was
a good deal Of discussion about
whether the calling in of all
old permits was compulsory or
not. AS we recall It, the right
of the directors office to call
them in was not questioned.

In a window in the 700 block
on Twelfth street there are three
japanese waltzing mice, though
heaven only knows the reason
. for their being there or any
other place. Reading from left
to right, or up and down, or
roundabout, they are Dad Mouse,
Mama Mouse, and little Junior
Mouse. Junior is just the cutest
thing! They are all the same
size so it takes a. real student
Of the Rodentia MusculIus to
classify them while they're whirl-
ing about. The Gate-Post has
sneered at sitter tasks than this.
Oddly enough, after dark the old
gent sulks in his corner, and it
is all one who has little to do,
can do to get a bulge out Of
him; even by the varied ex-
pedients of tapping a nickel on
the window, mewing like a cat
whose meals have been over
looked, or doing a miniature
horn-pipe; the later an expe-
dent followed by any rodent
tantalizer who knows his bust
ness.
Well, there the old man mopes
and smopes, while mother and
junior dance about as though
possessed, whirling madly into
gavottes, m aZurkas,' polkas,
break-downs, can-cans, landau
gos, and the not too easily tex-
ecuted vis-avis. @
Maurice Kafka, whose knowl-
edge of Japanese Waiting mice
is exceeded only by his ex-
haustive acquaintance with the
mason bee, declares it has been
quietly noised about town. that
Mama Mouse, who has a will of
her own, you may be sure, firmly
set her foot down on her hus-
bands running around nights.
And that, dear readers, if any,
is why Pater Muscullus sits
nightly in his corner, consuming
himself with a great and silent
hatred for the new feminism.
