Estimating that it is costing the state $12 a day to send out copies of bills introduc ed in the House, that body today adopted a resolution introduced by Olson, of Multnomah, directing the mailing clerk to send out copies of the calendars instead, and send cop ies of no hill unless a special request is made for it. Figuring that the cost would be low and that it would be of benefit to those interested in legislation, the House, the first day, adopted a pol icy of sending out copies of bills whenever members should so direct. Some members have abused the priv ilege, with the result that it has cost the state about $12 a day, and today it was decided to put an end to ex penditures along this line. The Grange county road bill came back to the House today with a fav orable report by the committee on highways. An effort was made by those desiring 'to substitute the Reames measure for it, to again send it back, but it failed. The forenoon session of the House was consumed entirely with transaction of routine matters.

A national weekly, to be published at the gov ernment's expense and circulated in every American home, is advocated by Rudolph Spreckels, San Francisco millionaire, in a letter to President elect Woodrow Wilson today. Spreck els says the general public does not understand numerous government sit uations because of the attitude of of ficials is frequently misrepresented. The function of the publication, as suggested by Spreckels, would give the news of all government depart ments and explain the acts of the President and his Cabinet. The San Franciscan believes the weekly could be printed and distributed, at a less cost than the Congressional Record. SPLIT UP SPORT TITLES.

The game has few great pitchers who broke into the big league with control. Ed Walsh." Bill Donovan and even Mathewson were a wild lot when they started on their major league careers. But they gradually overcame this failing and eventually were num bered among those pitchers who are noted for having command of the ball. Walter Johnson was one of the few great pitchers who came into promi nence Jn possession of control. He was able to get the ball over the very first day he pitched for the Nationals, and it -is on rare occasions that he is wild. Control seems to have been natural to Walter, just like his tremendous speed. The night he reported in Wash ington to Joe Cantillon in 1907 Can tillon put this question to the young ster: "Johnson." asked Joe, "how Is your control?" Walter studied awhile, then answer ed in that characteristic drawl: "I don't know. I never had to use any where I was." And that was likely true, for with his speed those bush league batters did not venture yery near the plate or stand close enough to make it necessary for Johnson to get .the ball over. PITTSBURGH HAS SASSY PLAYER Rsfcg, Recruit, Possesses a Large Amount of Gab. MAKES HIT WITH CLARKE. Manager of Pirates Says He Likes Youngster's Freshness and Adds That He Will Make Good Fred Remem bers When He Was Sassy Himself. Walter Rehg, who will join the Pi rates again in the spring, has one dis tinction. It is that of being the "world's sassiest ball player." Veter ans have tagged him as the freshest, noisiest and most cussedly impudent "rooky" that ever battled for a 'job. Maybe that is why Fred Clarke, man ager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, likes him. His spirit probably accounts for the fact that Clarke put in a draft for him and secured him from the St. Paul club, to which be was sent last June Rehg is a well built, aggressive chap who is just developing. He is a keen witted, sharp tongued lad. who doesn't take talk from any. one. - He hadn't been in the big league long before he clashed with Umpire Billy Klem, and great was the clash thereof. During the first series of the season at "Cincinnati the Pirates had a chance to tie the score, and Clarke ordered Rehg to bat for the pitcher. It was Itehg's first chance in the big league. Did he quake with fear? Did he show any grave concern or did the magni tude of the situation disconcert him? Hardly. "Who are you batting for?" asked the czarlike Klem in a tone that would freeze many a youngster. "Why, I'm going to get a hit for my self, old top." replied Rehg, with a saucy grin. " - "Don't get fresh with me, you young busher." angrily retorted Klem. "What's your name?" "Rehg." replied the youngster. "How do you spell it?" demanded Klem. "You don't spell it," yelled back Rehg. "You whistle it." And -with that the freshest busher Bill Klem had ever seen busted one of Art fromme's shoots on the nose and Johnny Bates made a wonderful back running catch in deep center field. That catch saved the game for the Reds, and Rehg always remembered his hard luck on that occasion. One day in June this same Mr. Rehg was ordering a lavish meal at a Phila delphia hotel. Camnitz.'Wilsou. Gibson and one or two others at an adjoining table watched Rehg keeping his waiter busy. "You may bring me this and "bring me that." Rohg would say, "and then you may bring me that and bring me this." He went from soup to nuts and from nuts to soup, then sideways and called for a few extras. He had a meal for four men before him. "Say, busher, are you trying to eat yourself out of the league?" asked Camnitz. "It ain't none of your business," snapped the fiery Rehg. "I ain't got no written guarantee that I'm going to be in the league all my life, so I'm going to eat National league meals while I'm in the National league. Get me?" Rehg had called the turn. Two weeks later he received orders to proceed- at once to St. Paul. - They could not restrain Rehg on the bench. He pointed out mistakes with a freedom that made everybody but his victim roar with laughter. And he played no favorites. He could chide Wagner and Clarke its well as any body, and the older hands soon gave up the idea of trying to cure him. With Mike Donlin he was a terror, and Mike also had to give it up and hope for the best. One day in Boston Donlin kicked and fussed because Carey had missed the hit and run sign, causing Mike to lose a base hit. and let it be said right here that Mike doesn't like to miss hits. "Gee whiz!" complained Mike. "Ev erybody in the park got that sign ex cept Scoops. If he had got it he would have made second and I would have got on." "Sure!" chimed in Rehg. "Every body got that sign.' Even that fellow out on the scaffold in center Held got it, and he is painting it now." Everybody looked? and there, with his back turned to the diamond, was a painter finishing up a sign that ad vertised a brand of cigarettes. Everybody roared but Mike, and Mike just spluttered and raved, telling Rehg that he was beyond the limit of freshness and so on. But Rehg just looked up at Mike and grinned. "Never mind him." says Fred Clarke when they talk about Rehg. "He is a pretty fresh kid. but I know of one who was fresher than Rehg ever was. At least they all told me when I went to Louisville from Savannah In 1S94 that I was the freshest busher that ever pestered a ball . club. Rehg's freshness will not hurt him. I look for him to be a dandy ball player some day." , Hard Task Set For Yankees. With Tommy Keane training the British athletes for the Olympic games to be held in Berlin iu 1916.

There are still small holdings -of the 1912 crop in the hands of growers and dealers in the three states, California being credited with the major portion of the stock, and the total, according to general report, is so meager that even a moderate demand will be fully sufficient to clean up everything in sight long before any part of the coming crop will be available. In all cases the owners of the goods are holding firmly for full value, or better, and as a resulp of their at titude and the unwillingness of buy ers to boost the market unduly, the current volume of business is small. The best hops to be had in this state are believed to be worth 19 to 20 cents, tut in many cases stock is held for better figures, while for the medium grades, the prices demanded are proportionate. j Some of the local dealers say the demand just now .is a little less ur-1 gent than was the case a few weeks ago, the attention of the trade for the time having been turned to Cal ifornia, where stock had been offered somewhat more freely than here, but the demand in this state is beyond question such as to effect a clean-up soon if the holders were more dispos ed to sell at going quotations. In the contract market likewise there is little doing yet, and no activ ity in 'trade in the coming crop is expected for a month or two. Deal ers say that some business in this line could be put through on the bas is of 15 or 16 cents, but the" growers generally are not yet ready to con sider confracts. They prefer to wait and see what the market will develop in the course of the next few months.
