BILLIARDS FOR BALL PLAYER Scientific Pastime Requires Good Eye and Steady Nerve Ideal Recrea tion, 8ays John Kllng. Johnny Kllng, when ho wns a major league basubull catcher, bolloved that Idleness did not pay. Consequently, tho ex-Cub today is earning more money than ho did when he was n member of tho world's championship Chicago club. Ho Is a billiard expert, and in addition, owns a hnndsomo bil liard room lu Kansas City. Atid nil this enmo about becauso ho rofused to bo idlo. "A ball player has considerable sparo tlmo when ho Is on tho road," said Kllng In telling nbout his good fortune. "It Is a fact that Bomo of them spend tho mornings In bed and tho evenings in tho hotel lobbies, cafes or theaters, 1 don't want to say that It does them any particular harm to loaf and havo a good time, but It produces laziness, "I found that I liked billiards when I was u young man and devoted my sparo tlmo to that game I did not do It merely as recreation, but with the Idea that I would learn tho game and tho business and devote my tlmo to It in the off-season and when I quit base ball. I always was ablo to pick up the right sort of friends, congenial fellows who liked tho gamo of billiards, and wo spent pleasant nnd helpful ovo dings at tho green table. Billiards Is a scientific pastlmo, requiring a good eyo and steady nervo. That is Ideal recreation for n ball playor." Johnson Is Wise.

Johnson says Walter was slipping nnd tho Washington tenm was going to get rid of him this season. Griffith says tho great twlrler will never pitch for tho Chlfcds iib long as thero Is n court of Justice. Griffith says ho will resort to Injunction proceedings In an effort to hold his star nttractlon. The FcderaH argue that Griffith seems to forget that Johnson's contract with tho Washington club expired with tho 191 1 season and tho courts hnvo decided In novcrul cases that tho reserve clause Is not legnl, hence Griffith's protests may be only spasmodic. Tho stand taken by President John son In declaring that tho Washington pitcher wns going back Indicates that tho president has little hopes of get ting Walter back Into tho Told.

SOME ANCIENT BALL GAMES People of Mexico and Brazil Knew Sport Centuries Ago Pastime Calls for Much Skill. "Pla-a-a-y bnw-aw-awl!" Is not as now an expression as some people may think. Neither is playing ball for a living a strictly modorn Invention. In fnct, hundreds of years ago, way down In Yucatan, impatient crowds eut around In ball parks nnd yelled them selves hoarse In the enthusiasm of tho moment just as Is dono throughout the country today, tho Now York Times states. Of courfe, the gamo was not exactly baseball. Hut tho point Is that t was a ball gamo; that thero were regular ball parks or courts, and thnt thero wero professionals who played tho gamo for what thero was "In It" to them. Another form of gamo Is played by the Indian tribes of tho Cudulnry river region in tho wilds of Brazil. A care fully leveled field lies in fiout or tho largo communal houses, and dally at llvo o'clock tho men returning rrom tho day's fishing or hunting Indulge In tho sport, not a complicated game llko that or thu early Mexicans, but ono calling for a high degree of skill, as two balls are used by tho playerB, who drive them with tho hands toward their opponents, Yellow tall feathcis of tho Yapoo birds aro affixed to tho rubber balls for accuracy. Tho Araucanlnii Indians of southern Chile play an ancient gamo with wood en balls driven by wooden clubs.

It Is whispered In tho Northwest that tho Northern league club owners would like to afflllato themselves with tho Federal league.

Harvard had far less difficulty In picking a leader this season than last, when Brlckley and Trumbull were tied for the honor for some time. Yale has declared confidence In Frank Hlnkey. Very well. As we look over Yale's freshman - material we begin to believe In Hlnkey more and more. PUGILISM Mardl Gras will bring Freddlo Welsh and Joo Mandot to Now Or leans for a match.
