The discipline of base ball, the CO.
hesiveness of base ball, the excel
lence of the exercise and the general
good health of ball players. gave i'm
petus to athletic sport of all kinds.
1t was long after the game of base
ball became so popular, and a ma
tional pastime, that any attempt was
made toward organization in other
kinds of athletic contests.
There are faults in the base ball
rules at the present time. The word
ing of some of them is vague, and in
the effort to bring about the rela-
tionship of one rule to another the
phrasing has been too indirect. Some
day this will be ,rectifed. Perhaps
by another two or three years the
rules will be rewritten. The author
has answered more than 100000 Ques-
tions about base ball which were in
connection with the present code.
and which also had to do with the
old code. and at times he has given a
very small share Of assistance toward
trying to clarity the rules as men,
ber Of the rules committee.
The wording of the flrst rules Of
base ball was totally different from
the wording of the modern rules, yet
1t must be remembered that the mod
ern game of base ball is very differ
Snt from the original game.
Pitching has been completely done
over. Batting is the same, SO far as
the general position is concerned, but
the practice of bunting has become
an art, and in the5old times 1t was not
known. Once there was a time when
it was permissible to slightly fatten
one side of the bat to try to encour-
age players to bunt, but that was
discontinued when the pitchers in
sisted that the square edge of the
bat, as slight as it waS, roughened
the cover of the ball.

BROWNS OUTFIELD

CHICAGO. February 11.-Failure4 of

to make just one more hit ruined
what would have been a remarkable
record, that OF a trio of regular out
fielders browning the pill for six con-

ages of 800 or better.
Other members of the trio are Ken :
meth Williams and Baby Doll Jacob
son, each of whom have remained at
the 800 mark or above for six con-
secutive years, starting back In 1919.
Last season Tobin failed to make
the grade, and finished with a bat

REQUIRES THOUGHT.

In connection with the serving OF
vegetables, Mrs. Chitwood made the
following statements: do You know
that women spend about cne-half their
time thinking of the style of clothes
and hats they will wear? But how
much time do they spend on thinking
of the style of their cooking? You
may say that cooking cannot be com
pared with wearing apparcl-you say
cooking has no style. But listen. cook
ing has more than style. 1t has 4
definite psychology. There are q
thousand and one little things you can
do to a meal. or a dish to make it
attractive. The little bit of garnish.
can make the salad the outstanding
course of the meal. Then you can
completely disguise the meats and
make them more palatable. or you
can rearrange the table service there
fore giving the meal completely diff
trent style.s

Mrs. Chitwood cited as an illus

~The poets of former days used to
love TO write about the singing of the
teakettle. Comfortable and sturdy
people spent happy hours in the
kitchen or possibly it may be called
the sitting room-and when you stop
TO think about it there was something
very congenial in the sound of the
teakettle and the warm veil of steam
that pervaded the simple kitchen.
Something that seemed TO tell of COM
fort. Even the old cat felt this, too,
and purred right along as an accom-
paniment of the atmosphere of con-
tempt.

DEMPSEY MAINTAINS HE
 WILL MEET HARRY WILLS
Heavyweight Champion States He Will Fight Giant Negro Despite
 Doubts Of Fans.

New York, Aug, D Rl-Jack Dempsey stoutly maintains that he will fight Harry Wills next year in spite of doubting officials and ians. The New York state athletic coln- mission is not satisfied with the champions protcstations, but finds itself unable to suspend him because he holds no license in this state.
 At its meeting here yesterday, however the commission took steps to discipline Dempsey by voting to suspend any fighter who meets him before he signs articles and posts forfeit to meet his negro chal- lenger.
 We have received letter from Dempsey by airplane,' Chairman Farley announced, but we are not concerned with his personal affairs. He agreed to fight Wills end until he takes some steps to bind his match his status with us will re- main the same; he will continue to be ineligible"
 Tex Rickard has letter from Dempsey asserting that he will be ready to fight Wills about July 4 next year. Wills in the meantime is not interested in a bout with Gene Tunney. Paddy Mullins the ne- gros manager, says that he is after Dempsey and no one else. He asked the New York commission to declare Wills the champion. but Chairman Farley informed Mullins that they did not have the authority to strir Dempsey 0 fhis title.
 Dempsey passes the buck back to the commission. He claims that he has met their demands in announce ing his willingness to face Wills and that it is now up to the promoters to visit him with their offers.
 If New York bars the match. fl Is open to all other promoters throughout the country" concludes the champion.
