Hard Lines
He strove to be contented with an humble
toiler's lot;
JSut when ho saw a rich man in Ms auto
he forgot;
And iohen ho passed a restaurant where
lavish livers dined,
Tho dreadful pains of poverty fust preyed
upon his mind. Exchange.
He strove to be contented with a daily
poet's pay;
Hut when he met the butcher or tho grocer
on his way,
Or bumped into his landlord or his tailor
anywhere
'The dreadful pains of poetry tocro doubly
hard to bear.
It will ho Interesting to see now just
what value tho uddltlon of ono star ball
nlaver makes to ail avcraee machine.
Collins Is certainly a star ball player, and
tho Whlto Box, ilnisliing in a no jor Bixm
place, can hardly be classed better than
average. Thero have been occasions when
ono man mado a ball club, happening to
fill tho right eap In tho right way. It
may bo that Collins will fill that par
ticular bill for tho White Sox. And then
nguln. maybe but tho box score season
Is still a week or so away.
Some miscreant purloined a brace of
Sam Crawford's bats. If ha will keep
them hidden and furnish his name to SI
American League pitchers, he will bs ex
tended 64 votes of thanks.
The Quickest Starter
There are threo men In baseball with
about the same amount of speed Cobb,
Lobert nnd Maisel. In a JOO-yord dash
this trio would probably lead the field and
finish together under n clover leaf.
But at tho Important art of quick start
ing, jTltz Maisel, of tho Yanks, has some
thing on them an. dtiis is undoubtedly
the best man tn the game at 40 yards.
He seems to bound the first 10 yards as It
catapulted from a standing start. Which
accounts largely for his great base run
ning. Any man who. can bat under ,240 and
pilfer 74 bases Is a bose-runnlngr wonder,
Milan once stole iS bases, but he batted
over .200. Cobb once led the league with
SI steals, but he batted .420. He had 21$
hits that season, while Maisel acquired
74 steals with 131 safe blows. If Maisel
ever batted .300 or better he would slip by
tho mark of 100 steals, something no man
has dono for many a waning year.
Johnson's Rival
Ray Caldwell has mado up his mind to
filvo tho gamo his best work thla season,
and If tho tall and stately telegrapher
carries out this Intention Walter John
son will have n rlvnl worthy of his best
work. Caldwell had a higher percentago
with the Yanks last season than Johnson
had with tho Senators, but the Kansan
worked nnd won a greater number of
games. With Uio tall Yank in condition.
a Johnson-Caldwell battle will acquire as
much class as tho bygone duels between
Mathewson and Urown.
Fable
Onco upon a tlmo there was a pitcher
who was not a "tall and rangy guy,"
who novor "had a hop on his fast one"
nnd who was not "a hard man to beat
when he was right."
Moral But It waa so very, very lout:
ngo that wo have forgotten any addi

NEW YOItK. Starch 1" To nil Intents
nnd purposes Willie Bltchle, of California,
is tho chnmplon lightweight boxer of tho
world. It waB u fortunate thing for
Freddy Welsh, tho tltleholder, that,
under tho no-declston clause of tho
Frawley Doxlng Law, a referee In this
State cannot give a decision.
.I'll"! had been possible tho title, which
Itltchle lost to Welsh In London last year,
would have gene back to the American.
Itltchle clearly outboxed Welsh and landed
the greater numher of clean blows In seven
ff '" '9, rounds that the boys boxed at
Madison Square Oarden laat night. Welsh
did not have a clear advantage In any round,
but he evened ud the honors In threo rounds.
It wa a rapld-llre battle between the re
spectlvo chttmptona of. America and England.
It waa by long odds the fastest bout that has
been fought this winter between men of this
division. There wai never a dull second
except during tho time when they were locked
n clinches. Blows fell thick and fast with

tho blocking excellent and the punches light

the slitter punches of the two. and although
he staggered Welsh three times, on Sich oc
casion Welsh was side-stepping to get out
of danger.
Ritchie was the aggressor throughout. Ha
