Cito tall, which was introduced last week by Katherine Knaebel of Central, found much Tavor with the recreation seekers and probably will be a part of the pro- gram. This game was originated by Coach Robertson of Northwestern Univer- sity. It is a combination of volley bail, basket ball and soccer. It can Dbe played with any number on a side from 3 to 15. The ball is put into play by the goal keeper, who stands at the end of the field within a circle, from which she cannot emerge and into which no one clse is allowed. The rest of the team is divided into guards and forwards. The object is to attempt to put the ball between the goal posts, similar to posts used in soccer or foot hall. The crossbar s 81 inches from the gound and the ball must go Leneath it, not over, as in foot ball. Players can use their hands to catch the ball, bat it or deflect its gourse in any way they may-desire. Other parts of their body may be used, also, with the exception of the b t. While not a highly organized sport, the game is very interesting and an excellent one to play with a group whose numbers are apt to Vary, as is the case with the N. A. A.

Dewitt “Bevo” Lebourveau, who roamed the outfleld for the Toledo Mud Hens last season_and who will display his wares to Manager John McGraw of the New York Giants next season, was the king of the hitters |in the American Assoclation, accord- | ing to the offictal averages. “Bevo”’ went through 149 games and by crashing out 220 hits in 584 times at bat finished the season with a batting mark of .377. “Revo” also gave Richbourg of the Brewers a close race for the stolen-base honors with 45 thefts. The fleet-footed Mil- waukee fly chaser topped the base stealers with 48. His remarkable speed also carried him to the front 18 a_run-getter, with 151 tallies to his -redit. Playing in 164 games, Rich- hourg smashed out the most hits—247. He was high man in total bases witn 50, his blows including 38 doubles ind 2§ triples, the latter being more han any other player had. Bruno Hass, the Paul star, copped the honors for two-base hit- ting with 51 doubles, while Plck of Kansas City had the distinction of receiving free transportation to_ first 104 times, 100 of which were on bases n_ balls. : Pat Duncan “Bunny” Brief e f of Minneapolis and of Milwaukee set a the honors of driving nuniber of runs, but Duncan nosed his rival out with 123 compared with 122 for the Brewers slugger, who took the home-run title with 26 circnit blows. Yoter of Indianapolis was the only player in the league who participated in every game his club played during the season. e was in 167 games, Although Loulsville played 169 Minneapolis 167, no member of cither club was able to show a clean slate for the year. Loulsville, pennant winners, topped the circuit in club batting with .308; Milwaukee and Toledo played second fiddle, with marks of .304; while Min- neapolis, who blazed the way for home runs, with .106, finished next to last in club batting. PRATT TO LEAD HARVARD. ,CAMBRIDGE, Mass., December 14 UP)—Charles A. ,Pratt, jr., of New Bedford has been elected captain of the 1 rvard foot ball team. He has been varsity tackle for t pe two. years and has won his track 1 ter in the shot, javelin and discus avents, N BOWLLING, as in base ball, cer- taln teams appear to have their pet jinx. In the Agriculture In- terbureau Duckpin League the FEconomics five always has been able to shoot brilllantly against Plant Bureau, no matter what it has been doing against other teams. The pres- ent season has Dbeen no exception. In the first meeting of the teams Economics shot a set total of 1,613 the season record for the league, in making a sweep of all three games, and did that with a line-up that had averaged around 485 for the seasop. The second match between the teams was rolled last week and Economics proceeded to take two of the.games, shooting the highest team game of the season, 565, and totallng 1,581 for the set. The jinx part of the affair may be understood when it is stated that the Economics team average for the season is under 1,600, and that these two sets are by far the highest regis- tered by it; in fact, the highest total counted against any team other than Plant Bureau was 1, while most of the team's sets have been but a trifienbeyond 1,5600. Seen after the recent match, Capt. Jack Ferrall of Plant Bureau said: “I have no alibi to offer. The better team lost. It is-true that some one slipped knockout drops in my cream and that what I thought was pow- dered sugar on my doughnuts turned out to be arsenic, but those things are likely to happen to any one. It is rather tough,” he added, “to lead "off with games of 93, 91 and 89, only to have your team fall down on you; but I'm not blaming the boys; they did the best they could. 'he statement that Capt. Barber of the Kconomics team publicly thanked me for the aid given his team is, of course, a vilo slander. I shall report to Capt. Blick's Saturday eve- ning practice class as usual.” It seems that the late Willlam Shakespeare, who cut something of a dash on the alleys in his day, had frequent occasfon to comment on the dangers of ambition—“vaulting ambi- tion, which o'erleaps itself.” Willlam knew his onions, as our friend, John Pinsplller Evans, is_learning. John, somewhat embittered by comments relative fo his bowling skill, has been devoting' a little time to intensive practice and recently managed to bave himself inserted into the La- fayette line-up. He proceeded to shoot games of 92, 125 and 117. Since the Masonic happens to be a league using the handicap system, all John has done s run himself out of a job, the team not being in a position to use regularly a mat with an average of 12, Scoring is improving rapidly in the qualification rounds of the holiday elimination tournaments belng staged at the Convention Hall.

There is great qualifying rount neys at the first two drives men- tioned, while surprising counts are apt to be reached 4n the event being conducted for woman bowlers at the Arcadia.

NEW YORK, December 14 (Specihl).—"“When is the question the National League s a batting champion?” Club owners will have to answer at thelr annual meeting today, for President John A.

Jealousy of one another i3 not always the cause of the bitter feellng. This comes from the loose talk of admiring friends, As long as Maxie Rosenbloom fought among the light heavies every thing was serene in the neighborhood. Then Maxie more than held his own with Tiger Flowers and his friends coaxed him to go out after the honors in the middleweight class. This, of course, meant K. O.

No Coat Check Fee 'ROSENBLOOM-KAPLAN GO "FAIR| RING A wager: friends are saying Rosenbloom ‘yellow. It was. a fight the combatants put up in the squared ring. Rosenbloom called the referee's at- tention to several, blows he claimed were low. Kaplan's habit of shooting them in close to the waist-line and the fact that several fights have been lled against him on th count may have had a lot to do with Maxie's claim. The refereo paid no attention to him, but it is reasonable to bhelieve that Kaplan was overcareful with his blows to the body. This meant that Phil's chief stock in trade was taken away from him. It s these blows that are causing all the fights among the nelghbors boys. Phil's friends do not like the idea of losing their .money and they blame it all on Maxie's plaints to the referee. They are calllng Maxie ‘yellow’ and the latter’s friends and admirers resent this by using their fists.
