From the American point of view there is nothing remarkable in such a state ment. We always knew it did. Bu Pitcher Mutis of the Borinquen Stars, the Porto Rican baseball club that recently visited Venezuela for a series of game, says that the sentiment has got hold in the South American re- | public where for centuries ‘“la corrida ! de toros” has been the national sport. People there still go afternoons to see the “toreador” give the deadly thrust to his victim, but a greater number at- tend the morning baseball game, and their enthusiasm at the ago de pelota” is more intense and continu- ous. They how! at the players ang at each other. convincing proof that the fan has appeared in the South Ameri- can republic. As players, the natives have not reached Porto Rican stand ards, they are rather weak fielders and Ave Maria! how they can throw. According to Mutis, Walter Johnson and Tris Speaker would sit up and take notice if they saw the “Venezolanos" pelota.” “tirando la| So great is the desire of the people of Caracas to learn the American game that Mutis and one or two of his companions were persuaded to remain after the series to teach enthusiasts how to play it. It looks as if the vitchers of the future may come from Caracas or Maracaibo instead of the Texas league. MANY FORMER RING CHAMPS DOWN AND OUT Time brings about strange changes in the affairs of the ring men. Tom Sharkey, scrimping and taking terri- | ble beatings to acquire a fortune, lost it in the liquor business and poor vestments. Young Corbett spent over $100,000 and is now scarcely in his 30s down and out. Jim Jeffries is rich Jack Johnson is broke and an exile from his country, and so on down the list. Ring fame is sudden and fleeting. Names that but a few years ago oc- cupied prominent placegon every sport- ing page in the countr® are now rare- 'v mentioned except briefly as the war | was !rivals as to be really in a class by her- P 1 | registration giving their present! whereabouts and occupations recalls< them to print. Sharkey is a Y. M. C. A. worker, a far call from the saloon business, and | Jack McAuliffe. successful as an act- | thgerald a few years ago prominent | in lightweight ranks, is applying for a | like job, and so is Kid Griffo, 20 years ago one of theegreatest of all little! men. Griffo for years has been down, and out and hanging about Times | square, New York, serving as a clown about a certain sporting safe there. Charlie White, who was looked on| several times as the man to dethrone | the different lightweight champions | who ruled during his long career, is| an_army athlete director. White, like Kid Herman, is Work- ing for one dollar a year, refusing any | salary from the government, but Sov rnment requirements are that no man | must work for nothing. Thus the $i! a year, which both will turn over to; the army athletic fund. 1 ‘Whit4 although always identified with Chicago, is really an English- man, being born in Livingston, Eng., March , 1391, White, like Tom Sharkey, was always a near ohampmn| without realizing his ambition.
