We have already seen this spring zt least eight new varieties of put- ters manufactured to remedy fatal defects on the green. Some hav square handles and round face: others round handles and square fa some are knock- kneed and others are bow-leggec some are long and some are short and some are merely medium. You might think the field had been completely covered. But so far the manufacturers have overlooked one meagre detail—which is the manufacture of a wrist that won't quiver and an eye that won't flutter and shift with the stroke. This latter technicality is all that is needed now to make putting the surest and simplest of all the arts. own a Young Fulton has his work cut out for him when he stacks up against who is under the wing Haven .

If Welsh is entitled to be re- cognized as the lightweight king, why shouldn’t he be forced to prove his claim every year or so anyway? Or is boxing no longer part of sport, This number may the te who are not be so surprising to fome, but fact Eastern league managers still pondering over that 600. Up in Jiqlyoke at least 600 saw games free every day when baseball lingered there, for fences were low and specta- tors quite nimble. But the theory of the Eastern league in these days of well-regulated habits is that there will be no leaping over the wooden walls. Pickets high and efficiency cops will be the job. Those who will see the games free will come right in through the gate just like anybody else and may also come through the limou- sine gate. It has leaked out that the free pase business causing some kicking. Magnates are only too glad to let re- porters in free, likewise clergymen, for both scribes and clergymen add dig- nity and advertisement to the day and this is just as true in the major leagues Boston, April 8.—Tris Speaker, the a< jt is in the F rn league, or the of Sox two phony 1 from which the Ioastern sprang. However, some of the Sonierence wise ones, want mayors, firemen, po- licemen, teachers, conductors, alder- men and councilmen lifted into the grandstand without any tariff at all and of course that feeling is not en- joyed by everybody. It is figured that cach club will hand out about sixty sses at the least, the coming Some will give more and some would give none at all if they could get away with it. The Eastern league is keeping rath- er quiet about free pass business, but one of the magnates has admitted that the game is to reduce the amount of to cut out the real dead- and welcome with open arms to whom those much-wanted should be given.
