John L. Sullivan used, to do a monologue a few. years ag John would go rambling along, ) pausing only to catch his breath, He had squandered more than a million dol- lars in saloons and on his friends and he sought the stage as a means to recuperate enough financially to permit him to live decently. "Yes," John L. would ramble on, "I spent more than a million dollars and here's all 1 got to show for it (pointing to his huge waistline), and fellows say to me, 'John, it's a shame that you now got so big a waistline,' and I say to them, 'yes, but look at the great time I had getting it.' Total . BLUEJACKETS WATCHING FLIGHT OF SEA GULLS Birds are awkward ndighibors for a submurine, and" in tracking the U-boats sailors have learned to observe the slightest movements and slender indications which under normal conditions would not occasion a second thought. The actions of the sea birds in particular ure followed with the closest concern. They will follow a swbmarine relentlessly and expectaotly, shrieking and wheeling as it varies its submerged movements The birds see quite distinctly, and it is almost impossible to district thew or to induce them to abandoff the strange pursuit, Thus their line of [light vffers a clew 'I' gave the batter the privilege of call- THE NATIONAL CLUBS Are to Adopt New Game Rules'This Month. The National League during its next session, set for February 12th, will consider, among other things, a proposition to amend its Sonstitation 80 as to permit playing off postpong #d er tie games in the fifst i od series between the clubs at inter- es The rules at present provide that no double~ -header be played in the "first series." The great majority of postponements occur in April and May; but as these cannot be played off until the second series there has invariably followed a congestion of double-headers in mid-season. In. case of further unfavorable weather in June or July, the clubs are forced to crowd such increased postponements into September and 'October, which arrangemeént in the past has resulted in. some of the clubs being compelled to play six or seven double-headers in a row, or not play the games at all. The object of the proposed amend- ment is to remedy this condition by allowing clubs to play off postpone- ments in any series in which they may occur. Fifty-eight of the ninety- seven double<headers played in 1917 by National League clubs were staged after the middle of August. These were made necessary by April and May postponements, which games, by reason of a rainy July, could not be played off until the third or final series of the season. Another effort will be made to have the league set aside its rule providing that a player claimed un- der the waiver must at once be re- leased to the club cclaiming his ser- vices. It is held by those desiring this change that the operation of the rule in connection with the pre- sent restricted 'player limit has worked a hardship on clubs in de- velopment of their young players. BATSMAN HAD PRIVILEGE Of Calling for a an or a Low Forty-eight years ago a number of men interested in professional base- ball held a meeting in New York to consider rules to govern the game. The diamond pastime as a business proposition was then in its infancy. In 1869 the Cincinnati Red Stock- ings were thé only all-professional club in the field, although the Phila- delphia Athletics and a few othef clubs had some paid men. These maintained their "amateur" standing by being ostensibly employ- ed as butchers, bakers or candle- stick makers, although they were never found working at their trades. In 1870 there were a score or more clubs which paid players re- gular salaries, or permitted them to share in gate receipts. Among the rules adopted at the New York meeting for governing the professional game was one 'which ing for a high or a low ball. This was nothing new, for from the dim beginning of the game the batsmen had enjoyed that advantage. The amateur players of the '60"s could direct the pitcher to deliver the pellet knee, waist or shoulder high, as suited his fancy, and the twirler was bound to do his best to follow instructions. Police After Hockey Rowdies. That the Montreal police will stand no nonsense or outside inter- ference around hockey matches, was shown Saturday night, when an ugly spectator, incensed because Joe Hall would not carve Alfie Skinner up and distribute souvenirs of his hide among the crowd, heaved a gin bot- tle at his 'head. It was a well meant shot, The bottle missed Skinner's head by a couple of inches and shat- tered to atoms on the ice. The police tore into the crowd after the murder- ously inclined rowdy and when he came out in tow of a blue-coat he was minus four teeth and had a scalp wound. Skinner showed his grit and courage by even going to Montreal after the fracas here and the dire threats emanating from Montreal. Whatever faults Skinner has, no one can maw accuse him o? having an ochre-colyred strip up /his spinal column, ~ 2 Ww 's Auto Race Meet.
