There waa a report current As but a number of persons | Lannin denies this and insists that Speaker will be a member of the world champions next season. Manager Robinson of the Brooklyn club is quoted as saying that he pro- poses to raise the pitchers’ slab of the Dodgers' fleld to a helght of fourteen inches next season. Robbie plans to have his boxmen perfect the overhand delivery. The raised slab evil attract- ed so much attentlon last season, when it prevailed on the Polo grounds, that there is very apt to be a movement in- practice and have the slab as it is in the American league, on the level with the plate. There would be more batting if the advantage of a raised slab were elimi- nated, and it generally is supposed that the rule makers are for any sort of re- form which will legitimately improve the hitting. Fred Fulton, the formidable Minne- sota heavyweight, tells how Billy Mc- Carney, manager of Carl Morrls, once “got his goat” proper. Morris and Ful- ton were matched to box ten rounds in April of 1914 at Hudson, Wis. At that time Morris was considered one of the best white hopes in the country, while Fulton was a novice at the game. In fact, it was the first time he ever tackled any one of any prominence. After getting into the ring Fulton was sitting in his corner, and Billy Mc- Carney walked over to where he was to see that the gloves were put on without any horseshoes inside. While adjusting the gloves McCarney said to Fre “I always like to use the largest gloves possible, Fred, because you know this fellow is a terrible hitter, and I cannot get over thinking about how Luther McCarthy was killed.” Fulton glanced up at McCarney, and he appeared to be very earnest in what he was saying. Fred did not respond, but McCarney came back with another one. “Here, Fred, get all the padding you can around the knuckles, because you know Morris has a pretty hard head. I will see that all the padding is put in the front part of Morris’ gloves, because I do not want him to hurt you when he puts you down.” This line of conversation was con- tinued by McCarney until the gloves were adjusted, and Fred admits that when they stepped to the center of the ring to be given instructions by the referee he was so nervous he did not know whether he was looking at the referee, Morris or a church tower in Rochester. 1t was very evident that it made a home strike, for Fulton went on with Morris and boxed worse than he ever did in his life. Then came the mixup in the sixth round, and Fulton became so excited that he lost the bat- tle on a foul. ner season.

BOWLING RULES FOR BEGINNERS HERE s a set of rules for bowling beginners, which perhaps some ot the older heads might have a look at without detriment to themselves. It is a difficult job to teach the be- ginner how to bowl. Very few have the patience or willingness to listen to instructions. The proper way to learn—that s, it you are looking for future results and not present scores—is first to practice swinging the ball while standing at rest near the foul line, then to practice swinging and throwing the ball until you can send it down the alley on a straight line. Then you can practice taking one or two steps, swinging the ball as you go and delivering it as you reach the foul line. In all practice you should take care that you stand and deliver on the same general line parallel to the edge of the alley. The matter of finally deliver- ing from the corner, putting a hook or curve on the ball, acquiring speed, etc, are things which can gradually be per- fected after you have become machine- like in the above essentials A good thing is not to have any pins on the alleys at all while you are learn- ing the rudiments of the game. Then you will not be trying to break your back throwing your ball at them or shoving the back wall out with your speed. Fair speed is necessary to good bowling, but little effort is required to obtain this speed when you have learn- ed how to swing your ball and let loose of it properly. MORIARTY MAY BECOME MAN- AGER. I['HE release of George Morlarty, vet- eran of the Detroit team, did not come as a surprise. Morfarty's play- 1..g days in a major league have lone since been ended. Last season the De troft club made an effort to have the Cleveland club take Morlarty as its manager, but Owner Somers was so well satisfled with the showing of Leo Fohl that he turned the Moriarty prop- osition down. There is, however, no doubt that Mo- rlarty has ability to manage a ball club, He will undoubtedly catch on somewhere in this capacity and will prove his worth. Morey, as he is famillarly known, has always been a player of high intelli- gence. He was for years captain of the Detroft team under Jennings and is picked to have managerial ability.
