Mr. Romine comes honestly by his strange habit of wakefulness, he says, as his mother seldom lost consciousness for more than two hours at a time. She was Insane, while her son is normal in every way. In appearance Mr. Romine in no way differs from the ordinary farmer folks about him, and the fact that he gives but two hours of the 24 to sleep, leaves no mark on his rugged and healthy physique.

During the past winter he operated a saw mill at Bourbon, and walked daily from his home at Chicken Bristle to his work, returning in the evening. the two places being seven miles dis tant from each other, making a tramp of fourteen miles a day, through all weathers, in addition to his day's toil on the farm and at the mill.

Now. let us see if the Sextonites really want harmony and baseball.

A Rock Island writer says: "The representatives of the northern clubs have decided to have baseball whether or not the league split is mended." Well, if the split isn't mended the northern of baseball will have to be of the outlaw sort; that appears pretty certain.

The only fighter who has shown In Los An-leges anywhere near in Coulon's class was Jimmy Walsh, of Boston, and an effort Is being made to match Walsh and Coulon. but Walsh cannot fight under 116 pounds. Barry would therefore be a much more acceptable man, and his record guarantees a classy encounter. Barry. Grent Heeord.

GREAT SEASON EXI'ECTEU Mure Than "i.OOO Men otv Earning Livelihood ui the Diamond. CHICAGO. ILU, Mar. 21.

An army of professional baseball players, the largest number since the birth of the national game, is now engaged in pre litntnary skirmishing to get Into con ultion for the campaign of 1908. The powers that be in the baseball world are looking forward to the greates season on record. The season will open with more organized leagues than have ever existed before. Big leagues and Utile leagues stretch from the Atlan tic to the Pacific and from the lakes to the gulf. There will be more play ers in the field and more nioney paid cut in salaries than In any -previous ytar.

More than 5,000 men will earn their livelihood on the diamonds, which does not include the official trainers and others connected with the game. When the weeding out process Is completed the two major leagues will start the season with not less than 400 players on their pay roll. Large as this figure seems, when the fact is borne in mind that there are but sixteen clubs and that but nine men are required to play the game, it is as nothing compared with the total number of players who will wear uniforms in the minor leagues. Though several of the smaller organ Izatiuns that did business last year have passed out of existence more than enough new leagues have been formed to take their place the coming season About thirty-five minor leagues, com prising nearly 250 clubs, are to play organized ball, or in other words will play under the protection of the Na tlonal Baseball leagues. Those clubs will employ a total of fully 4,500 play ers.

With most of the leaguers the play ng season will begin between the middle of April and the first of May and will continue until the latter part or September or the first week of Oct btr.
