President Blum tonight an nounced that tna directors had adopt ed this method In order to avoid con fusion of Identification, so common among visitors at baseball games. By this system. Mr. Baum said, each player will be given a uniform bearing upon the left arm a number which lie will wear throughout the season. Oa all score cards sold at games every man of each team will be named In consecu tive order, and these numbers will cor respond with those on the uniforms worn by the men. "So," Mr. Baum said. "If a visitor at a gams sees a San Francisco player wearing .No. 19 on his shirtsleeve, he can refer to his srorerard and at once find out that the player Is Johnson. If Johnson la taken out of a game and No. zi put In. the visitor, without ask ing a question, can easily find out that Smith haa replaced Johnson." KolasT Will Kmp Past.

Cal Kwlng. member of the board of arbitration of the National Associa tion of Baseball Cluha (or the Pad no l.escue, had resigned his membership In that organisation, but the directors bad retimed to accept It. and Mr. Ewing agreed to continue to act.

Play will be confined to S by 10 tables." Bob Crooks, manager of the Acme parlors, said yesterday that the efforts of the Eastern bllllard-room proprietors to substitute the name pocket billiards for pool would ultimately be crowned with success, although progress at first Is necessarily slow. The objection to pool lies In the prejudice against the word, due to the fact that poolroom has double meaning. One la a room where pool Is played, while the other Is a room where bets are placed on horse races. To the unfamiliar the word Is therefore synonymous with gambling thus the crusade for the adoption of the term pocket billiards.

Esslck was a fine-looking, athletlo appearing young fellow and pitched gilt-edged ball that year, aa well as during the championship season of the following year when he attracted the attention of the Cincinnati club, to which club he was sold along with Larry McLean. .-- Esslck was only a mediocre pitcher In the big show, due no doubt to the fact that he took things too easy In the box. a fault which was frequently censured while he waa pitching for Portland. He was Inclined to laziness and lack of ginger kept him In the background when he should have been a star. Esslck had talent as a piano-player and might hare been a success on the stage a la Joe Tinker. "Doc" White and others of the baseball playing frater nity who have managed to entice fat salaries from the vaudeville managers during the Winter seasons, but Bill was too laxy to try for the stage. He never cared much for baseball and admitted It. As an expert accountant be was a success, but preferred to play baseball because he had plenty of time to loaf around. After an Indifferent career of two or three seasons In the major leagues. Esslck drifted to the Americas Association and pitched for St. Paul. Columbus, Toledo and Kansaa City in that circuit. He Is slated for a berth In the Central League next season, so it must be that "Vinegar Bill' la on the toboggan. , Alnsworth defeated Sunnyside In the Grammar school soccer league yester day goals to 0.

Superior tactics, however, told' In the long run for after -scoring number one Alnsworth piled up the goals, five In the first half and four more after crossing over.

The backs had little to do yester day, while the halves were concerned chiefly In feeding their forwards, all of whom played well, Wegener and the Thome brothers being the most promi nent.

Racing and Bowling Promoter Thinks but Few Fight Fans Will Journey to Salt Lake. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. Frank W. Smith, president of the Western Bowling Congress, secretary of the Coeur d'Alene Racing Association and the man who piloted the six-car train from Spokane to Reno for the Jeffries blowup, declared yesterday. while In Portland, en route from Spo kane to Southern California, that there would be few fight fans go to Utah to see the alleged Johnson-Flynn fight In July. Smith is a big fellow, standing near ly six feet six, and wobbling the bar over 270 pounds, but that doesn t pre vent him from having a good time. Just now he ! bound for Los Angeles and Juarez, Mexico, where he will line up horsemen for a big season at the Alan tracks Just out of Spokane, next Sum mer. Smith will also be on hand to lend dignity to the opening of the Western Bowling Congress at the Angel City on February ltt. This Is an an nual Winter stunt. "I don't like to be quoted as knock ing Curleys game, but Jim Flynn couldn't beat Johnson If he was to carry a rapier and a slung shot," de clared the Spokane sport king. "The Pueblo man weighs 178 pounds to Johnson's 220. and while he Is a fair second-rater he lacks the dash and polish o4 the championship timber. Flynn couldn't beat such men as Billy Papke, Jack "Twin" Sullivan or Tommy Burns. Langford beat Flynn and John son did the trick In easy fashion when they met before. Where then does Flynn get this stuff abaut a return match?" Smith says that probably not 10 per sons from the Spokane section will Journey to Utah to see the bout and he expresses his doubts that the match will ever be pulled off, owing to the antl- sentlment. see Vanity caused the relegation of Jack Klllllay to the Denver Class A club. according to Ray Collins, Boston Ameri can hurler, who was a teammate of the former Spokane gunman. Collins de clares that Klllllay tried to live up to the sobriquet "Handsome Jack," doled out to him by Northwestern fans and fannettes. Collins left Portland for the East a day or two ago. e "If the present cold weather contin ues for a fortnight there Is grave dan ger that Portland's new Coast League ball park will not be ready for the opening of the season-, in the North," Is the statement laid to Walter Mc Credle by a San Francisco scribe. Mac probably was misquoted, for W. W. Mc Credle says there Is no question but that the nark will be ready "for the In stallation of the chairs by March 15, over one month before the Beavers swing northward for their clash with the Seals at Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets. see Al G. Spalding may still be the big splutter in the sporting-goods house that bears his name. Then again he may not. At any rate, his enterprls- lng press agent In San Diego, Cal., in forms us that there will be no change in the cork center baseball next sea son despite the loud holler. Here we have It Al plugged one or the balls Into a vise the other day and squeezed It 'until the ball was a flat tened cake about an inch through. Then he took It out of the vise and bounced it upon the ground until-It re sumed its shape. "That's a first-class baseball, he said. "Tell the factory people not to try any more experiments with It. I like It Just the way It Is." Thus a new form of vice inoculates Itself into the great National game. m e Eddie O'Connell has not fled before the announcements from Spokane that National Amateur Champion Gesek is after his scalp. The Multnomah Club wrestling Instructor smiled grimly yes terday when several Joking friends bade him goodbye. 'Then he remarked: 'Any professional that cannot beat an amateur should take off his duds and quit. Gesek is a husky boy and outweighs me, but I will wrestle him in Spokane any time for gate receipts or for a substantial side bet." O'Connell stepped upon the scales yesterday and slid the bar at 155 pounds, but he has a front porch har boring at least 10 pounds of fat. With that off Gesek will top him by 12 or 14 pounds. At last Portland Is 'to be favored by the Pacific Coast League demigods and demijohns, for President Baum has added more luser to his good start by promising that hereafter all the cities around the circuit will be giyen sn op portunity to Jump from agate to black face nonpareil at uncertain Intervals of the season. Los Angeles, with two votes, was awarded the first meeting of the di rectors under the new system. WEIGHT QUESTION WORRIES Multnomah Awaits Word From Spo kane Athletic Club. Inability to agree upon weights, coupled with the delay in the comple tion of the new club building may re sult in the calling off of the Multnomah-Spokane inter-club boxing and wrestling meet scheduled for January 19 at Spokane. Edgar Frank, ohairman of the winged M mitt and mat. commit tee, is expecting a telegram from Spo kane with the final word. "We have chosen our weights and do not see our way clear to changing them at this late date," said Mr. Frank. "Trainor and Daviscourt will be our wrestlers and Somervllle and Madden our boxers. We are' not particularly anxious to go to Spokane anyway, be cause It may mean a postponement in the dates of the Pacific Northwest championships, to be held in Portland late in April or early in May. Already we have had to switch back the date of the Seattle meet here, which now will be pulled off in March and the re turn bouts with Spokane will throw the programmes rather close together, too close for good promoting." Spokane, however, probably will agree to the Portland weights, as the Falls City people have their list of events all complete. League Meeting Set for February 13. NEW YORK, Jan. 12.
