As we" raid yesterday, the odds of Charles becoming the first man to regain the heavyweight title of the world, are pretty slim. Not fince the days of John L. Sullivan, who decisioned Jack Kilrain in 75 rounds for the first world championship, has any ex-titlcholder been able to do it.

Since (lie weatherman has been brutal to baseballers over the past week and there has been considerable discussion as to whofc responsibility it is to call a game, we might as well get It straight. So far as the seniors are concerned, that is. It will save some malingers getting confused when we ask them whether a game is to be called or not and it will also srve other managers thinking it, is the responsibility of the newspaper to say whether a fame is to be plaved or not. Believe us it isn't. According to the baseball rules which I'mpire I'rus I.etuiir-neau has and we have and the sports editor has. Division of the baseball code No. 12 states, and we quote: "The sole judge of the fitness of the playing field for play is: "tAi THE MA!'.U;rit of the home team shall be sole judge of the fitness of the playing field for the beginning of any game other than Ihe second game of a double-header. "iB i TI'TION: Any league may permanently authorize its president to suspend the application of this rule as to that Uague during the closing weeks of its championship seasons in order to assure that the championship is decided each year on its merits When the postponement of, and possible failure to play, a game in the final series of a championship season between any two teams might affect the final standing of any club in the league, the president, on appeal from any league member, may assume the authority granted the Home Team manager by this rule. "Ci Till' t-MVIRE-IN-CIIIEF of the first game shall be the sole judge of Ihe fitness of the playing field for the beginning of the second eame of a double-header. "iDi THE VMPIKE-IV-OUEF shall be the sole iudee of the fitness of the playing field for the resumption of play after "tini"" hes been called and play suspended during a game." Clear now, boys?
