GEORGE SUTTON, RESOURCEFUL AT ALL BILLIARDS, SPECIALIZES AT NURSING

George Sutton, the veteran billlardlst, who has held both the 18-1 and 18-2 balkline championships, was born in Waverly, N. Y., March 13,1864. * His first public appearance was in a pyramid or eight-ball pool tournament in New York in 1882, when he won first prize. Eleven years later he became a balkilner and won the championship of Canada at 14-2. In 1906 he defeated George Slosson for the 18-2 championship of the world, but he was himself defeated by Willie Hoppe the same year. He regained the title from the latter, then lost it to Schaefer in 1907. Sutton Again won the 18-2 championship from Slosson in 1909, but finally lost again to Hoppe early in 1910. He defeated Hoppe for the 18-1 championship in 1911, but lost the title to Ora Morningstar in 1912, Although resourceful at all styles of billiards, in balkline Sutton specializes at line nursing and restricting operations to the end of the ttfble. At delicate work he excels all other cue experts.

PRICE OF BASEBALL WILL GO SKY HIGH THIS YEAR

Don’t be surprised .If they ask $2 for every baseball you buy at the stores before the summer Is gone. Yarn Is scarce. Woolen yarn that goes Into the making of the genuine big league baseball has Increased in price 300 per cent, and shows no sign of stopping, according to a big manufacturer. League balls at $1.50 are possible only because the makers have stored yarn ahead of the latest rise, but it is paid that they haven’t anywhere near the amount needed to last.

COST OF FOUL BALLS LARGE

Number of Spheres Confiscated by Bleacherites or Find Their Way Over Fence Is Big. The high cost of fouls is going to worry the magnates more than ever this year. We don’t mean spring chickens, or any of the feathery tribe but foul balls, that are confiscated by fans in the bleachers or find their way into the eager clutches of “future .greats" camped outside of the ball parks. Baseballs this year are quoted at $1.50 apiece, 25 cents more than they cost in 1917. The average ball club uses hundreds of dozens of balls each season, and at $1.50 per each, the cost is going to mount high. For every ball that is lost the magnate will be out two bits more than he was before. In the National league last year the eight clubs used 1,538 dozen baseballs. That means 18,456 “apples” in all. If they use that many balls this year they will have to plank down $27,684 for them.

MAY LAUNCH "KNITTING DAY”

Chicago Club Endeavoring to Restore Custom of Admitting Women Free to Games. “Knitting day” once a week may be established at the National league parks this season, if plans under way are carried to completion. The Chicago club formerly admitted women free one day a week, but a year ago the National league passed a rule abolishing "ladies’ day.” Officials of the team now propose to ask a renewal of the custom at the next meeting of the league, but instead of calling it ladies’ day it will be known as “knitting day.” It is said that five of the eight clubs of the National league favor a free day for women, which has prevailed at the park of the Chicago American league club for several years.

MUST REPORT IN CONDITION

On Account of Short Training Period Pitchers Are Expected to Workout at Home. Because of the National league restriction on the length gf.the training period there will be no sending of pitchers ahead of the main team this spring.

IMPRESSED BY OUR FOOTBALL BATTLES

Japs Take Great Interest in U. S. Army Athletics. Observers From Far East Wrought Up Over Stoicism and Sportsmanship Displayed by Players When Injured in Games. Ever since the work of organizing America’s army was started we have had among us observers from Japan, who are not so much taken up with the way we get together our military forces as they are with our task of keeping the soldier fit and interested. In addition to making observations at our camps they have visited our colleges and , perhaps beyond anything else they have been Impressed by our football games. One of the Japanese, a college professor and a Y. M. C. A. worker, on hi 8 return to Tokyo recently delivered a lecture, In which he emphasized the remarkable index to American fighting spirit and character furnished by our football battles. For ages Japan has prided itself on the spirit of the ancient Samauri — •a spirit which, it was held, has transcended that of any other nation. Only those who are intimately familiar with the feelings of the Japanese on that subject can Imagine, the stir which the lecturer undoubtedly created when he told his fellow Nipponese that “the spirit of the old Samauri is not confined to Japan, but is evident in every game between American college football teams.” "American football never would be a success in Japan—it could not exi .t here,” the Japanese told his hearers. “If any of you think that the spirit Of old Japan is superior to the splri* of America you would change that impression if you were to see a hard-fought game on an American college football field.” What Impressed the Japanese more than anything in football was the stoicism and sportsmanship with which the players accepted Injury and even a “knockout.” The Japanese have prided themselves on their ability to take punishment without flinching, but five minutes of a football game convinced our visitor that in at least that feature we stood supreme.

MATT WELLS, EX-BOXER, MAKES HIT AS REFEREE

Matt Wells, the English boxer who was a ring sensation in this country a few years back, has retired from the roped arena, as far as actual fighting goes. Wells, who is located at Rochester at present has branched out as a referee. Wells, who was a former amateur lightweight champion of England, made a great hit with New York fight fans soon after the Frawley law went into effect, about 1910. Matt won the English title in 1911, defeating Freddie Welsh in a 20-round bout in London. Welsh regained his English title in 1912, when he defeated Wells in 20 rounds.
