to draw down $50, 900 a year and the
Babe $4,000. But so far as known
none of the other topnotchers of base
ball approach the $4,000 mark. With
the exception of the champions only a
few of the highly rated fighters net
$4,000 annually. Many of the really
good ones are lucky to get as much
as S25 200 a year.
Jimmy Smith, though, earns from
S30 900 to 0,000 year appearing in
exhibition tenpin matches, the Pitts
burgh bowling writer declares. He is
paid from 800 to $500 for each APP
pearance. The Smoky City authority
also says:
Smith is regarded, as the most con-
sistent bowler the sport ever has
produced. Strange alleys do not mean
thing in Jimmy's life. The large
majority of bowlers are thrown COM
pletely off their stride when they
tackle alleys unfamiliar to them, but
all runways look alike to Smith so
long as they are properly constructed.

SCHAEFER IS AHEAD
IN BILLIARD MATCH
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January 5.-Young Jake
Schaefer has started the march that
he hopes will bring him back to the
world 1872 balk line championship,
which he lost a few weeks ago to
Edouard Horemans, the Belgian. AS
the challenger for the title, he took
the first 5O0-point block, 500 to 375, in
the 1.500-point match with Horemans
last night. The champion, extremely
nervous. did not strike his stride until
the eighth inning, when he ran 243,
the nights high run.
The deliberate Schaefer topped the
century twice with 1875 in the second
and 1873 in the sixth.
Schaefer had an unfinished run of
% at the close and left the balls in
perfect position for his first shot to-
night. The score:

started in modest way. Some learned
rapidly and others improved slowly.
Few, if any, expected to reach cham
pionship laurels, but there is one
thing certain, that all of these young
men, who probably averaged 81 years,
started when they were boys of IA to
16 to get themselves in first-class ply
following the laws of nature in regard
to diet, sleep and healthful exercises.
1t should be the ambition of every
one of you to become a member of

that the best time for you to start is

athletes on, but modified to fit boys.

Get plenty of sleep. Boys from 8 to

Foot ball coaches, says Hugo Bezdek,

favored with superfine material of
capitalizing their good fortune by pro-
ducing a world beating eleven. Ever
afterward the coach is held up to the
high standard set by that star team.
and he is a poor stiff when his eleven
falls below it.
Wise managers in the big base ball
leagues" says Hugo. ARE not looking
for world series champs. Because if
they have one the fans will never be
content with anything else. No, sir,
the team that is annually in there, on
the basis of one-twothree standing in
it's league is the club with the happy
and carefree manager. And that goes
for the foot ball coach, too
