liberately have been made livelier.
This is denied vigorously by all the
manufacturers of base balls. Au-
thorities like Mr.. Julian CurtiSs OF
Spalding,s insist that the restrictions
on the pitchers and the shortening
of the fields by moving the stands
in are factors in the increase in the
home run output.
You have to assume that the batters
are receiving some sort of artificial aid
or that the batters TODAY are supermen
as compared to the batters of the old
days. The ancient hitters strove to
drive the ball against the horizon. but
the base balls of their days did not seem
to have the carving power. Either
that or the ancient batterS did not have
the strength and the reflexes of the
batters of today.
1t does not seem possible that the
modern athletes at bat should be so
far superior to their predecessors
OF course, the pitching has become
more and more terrible in the last
few years, but even pitching as bad
as some of the clubs have produced
hardly could account for the home 5.
run orgy that is going on.
The inference Is that the batterS are
receiving some sort of artificial aid.
Nobody connected with the base ball
clubs Is interested in finding out what
it is. The magnates seem to be salts

For the Mass.
THE new ball should bring a pleasant
l. surprise to the mass of golfers who
range from 90 to 100.
They will find fewer close lies, and
there will be much better braSsie and
long iron play.
They will find the ball easier to get
into the air, and there will be fewer
topped or lalf-topped shots OF any sort.
But in the wind they will also f1nd all
mistakes accumulated. especially the
ancient and honorable slice. On a gen.
eral average, the average golfer should
score better with the new bah than he
can with the old. And many thousands
of them will tell you that they couldn't
score much worse.

defense brought no income.
Forgetting that he had won the title
because Sikh had committed the geo.

in Dublin. McTigue eagreed to fight
young William Stribling In Macon, Ga.
He felt that there would be no danger,
because he brought. in addition to his
manager. Joe Jacobs his own referee
in the person of Harry Ertle Of Jersey
City.
But Michael did not know his
South. When he demurred about
going through with the fight the

invited them to select their own

one of the Georgians. I'm this State
we always extend to the stranger the

On this fight the referee gave three
decisions. While still in Georgia he
announced that Stribling won. After
crossing the State line he said that 1t

no question but that McTiKue won by a

There was one to be acquired very
easily. At that time Battling Levinsky
was light-heavyweight champion. 1t
was regarded as a ridiculous sort OF
title, and every time it was announced
that Battling Levinsky was light-heavy-
weight champion the customers would
laugh immediately. 1t was as though
somebody announced that he was cham
pion Camembert cheese spreader OF the
world.
So the match between Carpenter
and Levinsky was arranged during a
world series, when the eyes Of the
experts were averted or turned in
the direction of the national pastime.
The thing was very brief, and Le-
whisky gave an imitation of Joe
Beckett in an early round, which
gave the light-heavyweight title TO
France.
When Carpenter returned 10 France
after the Dempsey fight he had this
light-heavyweight title in addition to
what was left of q 100000 guaranty
after the income tax had been ex-
tracted. They took the title seriously
in France. It was not much, but, after
all, it was a title.
While he was engaged in some motion
picture work in France the Gorgeous
Georges decided that he might pick up
little side money by working at de-
tending the title. He was signed up
with Battling Sikh, the singular Sene-
galese. The general understanding was
that this one was in before it started.
Sikh was training on a diet OF
light wine and brandy in one OF the
cafes and leading a lion cub around
with him for a playmate. Mr.. Car
pentier was preparing for the con-
test by making up with a rabbits
foot for his motion picture work. He
did road work in a motor car and
refrained from boxing, for fear that
it would spoil his makeup for the
pictures.
Something must have annoyed the
Senegalese on the day OF the fight. for
he forgot that Carpenter was engaged
in an important motion picture and
knocked him out After this Battling
Sikh took his pet lion out for a tour of
the cafes and proceeded to train on
light wines and brandy with the view
of defending his title in the near future.
The opportunity came in due course.
Battling Sikh, who was $50 brunette
even for Senegalese, was matched to
fight Michael Methuselah McTigue at
Dublin on st. Patrick's day. You have
three guesses as to who won the deci-
sion.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-Higher prices
abroad gave a strong tone to July

weakened March. Corn and oats
were slightly lower.
AT the opening wheat was IS cent
lower to Il cent higher, corn was
Is to Il cent lower and oats were
Il to 4 cent lower. Provisions were
slightly lower.
BulliSh crop and statistical news
from abroad have created such wide
spread interest in wheat that market

to predict a reaction after so rapid
an advance. Liverpool, however,
was stronger today.
Short interest in corn is said to
be very large and, if the milder
weather over belt should make roads

receipts may produce a sharp ad-
vance in prices.
Oats have been showing a weak

the New York Federal Reser-e bank
meeting ended in a deadlock. News
paper comment is to the effect that
fear of upsetting the business pro-

ing the liquidation of last week, did
not come up to the expectations of
the federal reserve authorities. The
situation has not appreciably cleared
as a result of developments and a
