A raw I.IXES TO KAISKRBtIiIi
Three years ago, before your host,
You flung the world your vaunted boast;
"Christmas in Paris!" was your toast.
Well, what's the trouble? Speak, Old Dear,
Another Christmas Day draws near
And you'll be balked again, we fear.
"Christmas in Paris" —so you roared;
Why is it, with the big feast stored,
They missed you at the banquet board?
Year after year they ve planned your meal,
But did their Christmas spread conceal
Too much of blood and flame and steel ?
I wonder why you had to wait;
Or reading your engagement slate.
Perhaps you found another date?
Better come on, while all is well,
For you'll soon find, beneath the spell.
They have no Christmas feasts in Hell.
The difference between Jolm L. Sullivan and Jess Willard is measured
by a good bit more than merely twenty-five years.
Sullivan stood as the most popular heavyweight in fighting history.
Willord. if tiot the most unpopular, is at lest the most colorless. Where
Sullivan's defeat was held almost as a national calamity. Willard's defeat
would bring out more cheers than tears by a margin of something like
80 to 1.
HOW ABOUT HARD WICK?
Dear Sir:
We have read much lately in your column about Heston. Thorpe.
Oliphant, Coy, etc, but in our opinion you have overlooked the best bet of
them all. We refer to Tack Hardwick, whose very name was used by-
Harvard to keep the Bulldog in his place for four long years. As Hank
Gowdy, of a Boston club, was the first big leaguer to represent us on the
French front, so was Tack Hardwick the first big league football player to
cross the pond. Any one who has ever witnessed his famous "end around"
and has seen him scatter and Indianize Yale defensive backs will know
the answer when Tack is elected to make first down over the top.
HARVARD, 'ls.

L. T. R.—Batting rank, in the way of complete average, is Cobb, Jack

YOU UNDERSTAND—
The air is cold—the raw winds chill—
A ten-foot putt brings me no thrill.
Or e'en a long drive from the tee
Means less than nothing now to me.
"Is speed more important than strength?" queries a reader. It depends
considerably upon whether one is a blacksmith or a sprinter.
Some one hs quoted Wllard as stating that, he would like to take on
Carpentier. This war has evidently annoyed Willard more than a trifle.
But with Carpentier at the French front, Willard can get almost as even
a match in the way of weight by taking on Benny Leonard.

Boston Eleven Beats
Eddie Mahan's Eleven
Boston, Dec. 4.—The Boston Navy
Yard eleven scored a victory over
Eddie Mahan's League Island Marines
yesterday on Soldiers' Field. The
score was 7 to 0.
One touchdown was scored early In
second period and it was the elusive
Cannell who made the tally, with
Billy Murray adding the seventh
point.
The aggressiveness of the Bostoni
ans had the Phiiadelphians always
on the defensive in the opening- pe
riod. Stupendous line-bucking by
Enright brought the ball to the Ma
rines' 10-yard line. Here the soldiers
of the sea asserted themselves In re
markable fashion, held Boston for
three downs and forced Quarterback
Murray to try a dropklck, which was
missed.
Mahan's team then put the ball in
play on its 20-yard line. Mahan threw
ordinary gridiron discretion to the
winds and tried, a forward pass. It
failed. Then he tried another and
this Jack Lowney. who was substi
tuted for Cannell, leaped high, batted
the ball away from "Mike" Avery, the
Marines' left end, and somehow or
other managed to recover the ball
before it touched the ground, a spec
tacular play. In a few more plays
the first period was over, with the
Boston team in possession of the oval
on the Marines' 16-yard line.

Bicycle Riders Fall Back
of All Previous Records
New York, Dec. 4..—Pedaling nearly
100 miles behind the record for the
thirty-second hour, twelve teams in
the six-day bicycle race in Madison
Square Garden had covered 606 miles
and 9 laps at 8 a. m. to-day. Ma
donna and Bello were one lap be
hind. The best distance for this hour
is 706 miles and 1 lap, made by Law
son and Root at Chicago in 1915.
Notwithstanding this failure to
maintain the speed shown by
ers in former contests here, there was i
no waning of public interest, owing
to the exciting point sprints fre
quently taking place during both day
and night sessions.
Hoblitzell to Enlist;
Red Sox First Baseman
Cincinnati, Dec. 4. —Dick Hoblitzell,
first baseman of the Boston Ameri
cans, entered a hospital here in order
to undergo operations and surgical
treatment that, it Is believed, will
correct defects in his physical condi
tion to the extent of making him fit
to pass he Army examinations.
Hoblitzell attempted to Join the
Army some time ago, "but was refused
on account of not being able to pass
the physical examination. -The de
fects were slight and he was in
formed at that time that surgery
could correct them.
If Hoblitzell succeeds In joining
the Army the Boston Americans will
then have lost both of their regular
I first basemen, as Del Gainer has al
| ready enlisted.

Noted Sportsman Dead,
Conductor on Railroad;
Famous as Billiardist
Pittsburgh, Dec. 4.—With the death
of Andrew Jackson Pitcairn recently,
a picturesque figure passed away
from the baseball and billiard circles
| of Pennsylvania and more partlcu
' larl.v Pittsburgh.
! Pitcairn was known by billiard and
| baseball enthusiasts throughout the
! Keystone state and frequently played
| in Boston when there with the old
| time Pittsburgh Pirates.
Until his retirement several years
ago he had been a conductor on the
j Pennsylvania Railroad, and in that
< apacity was known by prominent
men, very many of whom he could
outplay at the cut game a nd with all
of whom lie could chat about the two
branches of sports in which he and
they were interested.
For many years lie had been a
boxholder at Barney Dreyfftss' ball
park, Forbes Field, and spent many
a training season with the Pirates
when they patronized Hot Springs.
After he retired from active duty on
i the railroad he devoted most of his
time to attending baseball games
when the Buccaneers played at home
and playing billiards at Pittsburgh,
where he could hold his own success-
I fully against the best amateurs the
I Smoky City had to offer,
j He was a nephew of the late Rob
ert Pitcairn, superintendent of the
| Pittsburgh division of the Pennsylva
i nia Railroad and later general man
ager of that district. At the time
| of the Johnstown flood Pitcairn had
j charge of a train running between
j Pittsburgh and Altoona, and when
the flood swept the city performed
( heroically in helping in the rescue
j work.
Once More It Is Said
Player Limit Must Go
| .Cincinnati, Dec. 4.—Before leaving

; chairman of the National Baseball
; Commission, announced the commis
j sion would hold its annual meeting
in Cincinnati on January 7. At this
i meeting the chairman, treasurer and
! secretary of tl.ie committee will bo
| elected.
I Mr. Herrmann said he has taken
i the initial step in reducing the play
jer limit of the National League to
J eighteen men to a team, exclusive of
; the manager, by forwarding to John
I K. Tener, president of the National
League, -an amendment to the
league's constitution calling for that
1 number of players to a team for tn
season of 1918. This amendment will
|be voted on at the annual meeting
of the National League in New York
j December 11. The limit in recent
years has been twenty-one after Jlav
I I 5.
| Mr. Herrmann said he believes by
reducing the number of players to
I eighteen on each team the clubs will
i lie able to survive the Army draft.

LARRY lajoie
Philadelphia, Dec. 4.— Managerial
cares did not worry or hanpicap I ca
jole in hitting during the past season
in the International League. Not only
did Larry pilot the Toronto team to
the pennant, but he as well led the
icague in hitting with a snug aver
age of .380, The veteran simply
"killed" the offerings of all the I. L
pitchers, for in his 151 games Larry
punched out 221 hits, for a total base
record of 283, his extra hits being
thirty-nine doubles, four triples and
live home runs.
This was Lajoie's twenty-fourth
consecutive year in baseball and is
a record no other player but Hans
Wagner can boast of. Even then
Larry has it on the Pittsburgh vet
eran. for John Henry did not play
many games for the Pirates during
the past season, while Larry was al
most a consistent daily performer.
Larry celebrated his forty-second
birthday last September and judging
from the record he just established
he is due to stick around as a pitcher
worrier for a few more years:
Larry played his first two years
with the Fall River, then joined the
. Phils in 1896, playing here for live
i years. He joined the Cleveland Amer
icans in 1901 and stayed there until
I 1915 when he was -released to the
| Athletics. He served for Mack two
years, then went to Toronto this sea-
I son and won a pennant, his only one
I on his re-entry into the minor league
field.
.Turner Barber, of Baltimore, who
was purchased by the Chicago Cubs
for $15,000, was tlie only other player
to get over 200 hits, he totaling 218
for 119 games. Otis C. Lawry, who
| was sent to Baltimore by Connie
I Mack during the season then recalled
before the Amerean League campaign
closed, is given top place over Lajoie,
for in his twenty-nine games played
for the Orioles, he hit for ,390, having
made forty hits in his twenty-nine
games. Lawry, however, cannot be
taken for the champion, for the small
number of games he participated in
precludes such honor from coming
his way. Even at that Lawry's rec
ord is amazing to local fans for
his batting as an Athletic was meek
and lowly, and he was a shining
mark for American League pitchers.
Toronto and Baltimore tied in club
batting with an average of 283 apiece,
with Providence second.
Star Bike Team Quits;
Fail to Keep Record
New York, Dec, 4.—One of the fif
teen teams entered in the six-day
bicycle race, which began at mid
night. dropped out during the early
hours to-day. Paul Suter. of the
Walthour-Suter team, quit 'the con
test after the pair had lost two laps
during sprints.
At 10.20 o'clock Walthour and Suter
were officially declared out of the
race.
Thirteen teams, pedaling more than
eighteen miles behind the record,
were tied. At the thirteenth hour
the thirteen leaders had covered 264
miles 7 laps, with Goullett at the
head. The record is 300 miles flat,
made by Granda and Moran in 1913.
