Maxmeyer Dropped by Colin.
San Mateo. Cal, located about S
miles south of Ban Francisco, has
joined Ban Jose and Santa Rosa W
bidding lor a training season peeK at
the Portland Colts. MaaB" h.
lams, of the Northwestern Lac'"D
received a telegram from Ban Mateo
yesterday offering a diamond and flrst
class hotel accommodation for tne
Colts, but no definite proposition was
Any town In Central California, with
in cheap carfare of San Francisco and
possessing a good diamond and fair
hotel accommodations, is acceptable to
Williams, providing that the financial
Inducements are satisfactory. Its i up
to Nick to try to make the training
season maneuvers pay all expenses and
this Is possible only with a guarantee
from the training camp town.
Last year the CoRu' hotel bills were
paid at Sacramento and, with fair re
ceipts from games played on the way
to Portland, the trip almost paid for
Itself.
"San Jose. San Mateo or Banta Rosa
would be satisfactory to me if we can
pet a guarantee of some kind. ' says
Williams. "I have received telegrams
from people of the first two towns and
Jim Nealon is negotiating with Santa
Rosa fans, but as yet only general
promises are made, with nothing des
pite enough to work on."
Nick Williams is after "Kid" Mohler.
San Francisco second saoker. Just given
his unconditional release, to hold down
that position on the Colt lnfleld for
1S13. Mohler told Nick a year ago that
he would like to come north to play
with him, and. acting on this, the Port
land boss wrote him several days ago.
offering him a contract.
"The only thing I'm afraid of is that
M'hler will ask too much money," fig
ures the Colt leader. "He Is surely
good for two or three more years of
baseball and would be a winner up
here. I should hear from him In a
day or two and hope to receive the re
quest: 'Send me a contract.' "
Fielder Jones, president of the North
western League, aspires to become the
- Christy Mathewson of the Northwest
in the checker league. Fielder has
demonstrated his ability to manipu
late the bits of wood at the rooms of
the Portland Checker and Chess Club,
in the Mohawk building, his latest vic
tim being "Pete" Grant.
Grant considered himself a fair ex
ponent of the game until he met Jones.
Now he questions his skill. Fielder
took him down the line for four
straight matches Thursday and lost the
llfth on a careless move while nipping
the end of a fresh cigar.
Richard Maxmeyer, the Portland lad
who has been buffeted about numerous
diamonds In the last two years, is again
a free agent. Joe Cohn. who signed
Max last Fall under the Impression
that the ex-Corvallis boy might devel
od Into a winner, lopped Max off the
list the other day, along with eight or
ten other youngsters.
Joe spends the Winter months sign
ing up every player In sight. If the
other magnates appear chagrined, Joe
holds his youngsters; otherwise he
dumps them on the market just when
they are packing up for a trip to the
training camp.
The Spokane Indians will open
Spring training at Boise, Idaho, this
season. Cohn expects to take from
30 to 40 men for try outs, sending the
pitchers a week ahead of the other
men.
Western Canada may have an eight
club baseball circuit next season. A
preliminary meeting was held at Moose
Jaw the other day and the following
teams were tentatively entered in the
league: Calgary, Edmonton, Medicine
Hat. Lethbridge. Prince Albert, Saska
toon, Reglna and Moose Jaw.

Washington High defeated the Co

terday afternoon 36 to 29. on the
Washington floor. In the most excit
ing and roughest game of the inter,
scholastlo league season. The largest
crowd of the year, numbering over

thusiasm shown by the spectators was
a feature.
Columbia led only twice during the
game, making the first basket, and

during the early part of the second
half. With about one minute to play
and the score 28 to 27 with Washing

team, by a sudden spurt, annexed three
field baskets In rapid succession, giv
ing the 1912 champions a safe margin
to assure victory.
The rough tactics of the Columbia
boys enabled the Washington team to
convert 14 called fouls into 8 points.
Referee Grilley called seven fouls on
the Washington five, but Coach Calll-
crate's men were able to score only
1 point by the free-throw route.
The playing of Fearnley. Foster ana
Knouff was superb. Fearnley's pass

ROOT WANTS TO MANAGE "BTJD"
Donald Kef uses $25,000 for Con
tract With Anderson.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31. (Special.)
Jack Root created quite a sensation
In" local sporting circles today by of
fering Dick Donald, manager of "Bud'
Anderson. S25.000 In cold cash for his
contract on the lightweight contender.
Donald added to the excitement by re
fusing the offer.
In these perilous times, when tne
boutlng game is hanging by a thread,
with a sharp legislative knife directed
at that thread, such an offer seems all
out of proportion, and the fans were
slow to believe it was anything more
than a press agent yarn.
Root was in deadly earnest, however.
He saw Anderson dispose of Sammy
Trott a week ago and got a hankering
for his contract then and there. He
had been talking it over with Donald
ever since, making offers and raising
them, until this morning, when he met
Donald, he raised the ante to $25,000.
Donald was staggered a bit and wob
bled mentally for a few seconds, but
finally turned it down.

of the freshmen. About a month ago
the Washington rugrn dcwiui
sprung a surprise by defeating the
Olvmpic veteran over the same course
which will be traversed in the coming
contest. ,
The seniors, however, are confident
that MeClure oan lead Windnagle to
the tape, with something to spare,
when the two hook up again. The
distance is more to the veteran's lik
ing, for Windnagle shines in the half
mile. His work over a longer course

with his pre-season victory over Me
Clure, Is nevertheless a guaranty that
their next meeting will not lack In

MeClure undoubtedly loafed when he
allowed the Portland lad to set a slow
pace and save up a sprint which was
good for first place. On the other hand,
Windnagle Is a youngster who appar
ently has not yet reached his limit.
Both men are conceded a'-chance In
the inter-class championships.
Another man who may upset the
hopes of both Is Chester Hugging, of
Hood Biver, who will re-enter college
at the beginning of the next semester.
Huggins has been McClure's running
mate in the distances for the last two
seasons, and his return after an ab
sence of a semester Is hailed with re
joicing by the whole university, and in
particular the Junior class, which he
will represent In the run of February

endurance will make him a dangerous
contender at that time.
Three other good men will be Mc

SPORTSMEN SHOW FIGHT
SHVATE BILL SO. 53 CAUSE OF
DTDIGS'ATIOW.
Provision for Confiscation or Death
of Canines Found Hunting Game
Rouses Ire of Dog Fanciers.
A bitter fight is to be waged by Port
land sportsmen against a bill intro
duced In the State Senate by Senator
Hosklns, making It unlawful to hunt
game birds with dogs and prescribing
confiscation and even the death pen
alty for all canines found thus en
gaged. The bill. No. BS. was referred to
the committee on game January 16 and
will come up for public dlsousslon be
fore a joint committee of the Senate
and House Monday night at 8 o'clock.
"This bill Is unsportsmanlike and
vicious, to say the least," declared W.
E. Carl on. a local sportsman, last night.
"Every true sportsman will lend his
efforts to defeat any bill calling for
the killing of a hunting dog.
"We have a closed season and a bag
limit for the protection of game birds
If the season is too long it should be
shortened. If the bag limit Is too
great it should be reduced. If game
birds should not be killed there should
be a closed season at all times. We
therefore have to assume that the au
thor bf this bill does not like dogs and
objects to others owning any.
"I venture to say that more wounded
birds will be left to die in the field
without the aid of a dog In retrieving
them than will be killed by the aid of
a.og in hunting them. That feature
which calls for the Killing oi tne aog
is most obnoxious of all. Think how
badly the average sportsman would
feel Bhould his dog be killed while In
nocently pursuing his natural Instincts.
'Furthermore, unreasonable laws are
the cause of many violations and a
burden is placed on the officers in try.
ing to enforce them."

RULES AREGHAKGED
"Freeze" Is Eliminated From
Amateur Billiards.
CLUBS ADOPT NEW STYLE
National Association Falls to Make
Regulation Penalizing "Safety"
Players, but Adopts Reso
lution Condemning It-
The "freeze" has been eliminated
from amateur billiards. Technically
there are no such thing as "frozen"
balls In amateur contests hereafter, for
the National Association of Amateur
Billiard Players, at a meeting at New
York on January 10, ruled that the
referee shall separate the frozen
balls bv a thin card.
This departure, which means so
much to that section of billiard Is ta
styled "nursers," will be introduced into
the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club
Immediately, according to W. C Dunl-
way, chairman of the Winged "M" bil
liard committee, who received word
yesterday regarding the change.
Under the style of play now In vogue,
a player "banks" when the balls are
frozen, attempts a "masse," striking
the ball not "frozen" first, or calls for
a re-snottlnz of the three bans.
The new style permits of the re-spotting
and the bank," but also allows the
nnn ball to strike the "frozen" ball
first, or a "masse," or the moving of
the cue ball to eliminate tne -ireeze,
which makes direct "masses easy, as
well as the "force follow."
The ruling of the organization win
be adopted In every club In the coun
try, while the majority of public rooms
are expected to follow suit.
The convention failed to make a rule
penalizing "safety" players, but adopted
a resolution condemning It.
Mr. Duniway takes the stand that the
fault nearly always lies with the play
ers when balls are "frozen" on a good
table, and that the man whose turn It
is to shoot following a "freeze" should
hn aMaH hv the miles.
"This new rule was shoved through
hv the nurse nlavers. says Mr. Duni
way, "and means that many of the
amateurs who are now indifferent per
formers will develop Into champions,

The date of the class A National balk
Hne tourney has not been set as yet,
but the committee Is at work at the
scene and time of the cue tilts will be
announced soon. Mr. Duniway, Nortn
west amateur champion, will enter the
meet if the dates are convenient.
The Multnomah Club basketball five
will leave today for Corvallls, where it
meets the Oregon Agricultural College
five tonight. A return game will be
Dlaved the last of the month.
There is considerable talk of a tour
to California, but no definite plans have
been made. Manasrer Mackle has writ
ten to Sacramento, Berkeley, Stockton
and other places for dates and if a
schedule can be arranged guaranteeing
exrjenses. the trip is assured.
Edgar Frank has decided definitely
upon the Portland weights for the Van
couver Interclub boxing and wrestling
programme of February 21, naming
115-pound boxing and middleweight
wrestling. Vancouver named 135-pound
wrestling and -140-pound boxing, but
the latter may bo changed to 138
pounds.
.As Franske, the 135-pound Mnltno-'
mah wrestler, is not a regular member
of the workout squads, either Montague
or Clibborn may be sent against Smith,
the Vancouver boy. Walter Williams,
Coast champion, will represent the club

SODA COMPANY MAKES REXLV
QTJISITMENT TO STATE.
Southern Oregon Lake Shores Will
Be Returned lo Federal Govern
mcnt xby Slate of Oregon
. . . fir r - Tan 41 fKnj.nffLl.1
Sain, superintendent and promoter
of tne American cuua as . io.i
pany of New York, which is exploit
ing the Summer and Albert lakes in
Southern Oregon, was in the city to
day conferring with the State Land
Board.
The company Is leasing the lanes of
the State of Oregon and is evaporating
the water to obtain the valuable salta
which the lakes contain. The com
pany has already started work on the
preliminaries, but has experienced con
siderable difficulty on account of the
weather. This delay has postponed
the gathering of the salts beyond the
four months' time prescribed by the
land board In its lease, and it Is in
connection with this matter that Mr.
Sain Is at the Capitol.
To compensate for this delay, the
company is making an agreement with
the Board, whereby It will relinquish
its claim on the shore lands, which
were the bone of contention between
the. Governor and Attorney-General
last Summer.
These shore lands will be turned
back by the state to the Federal Gov
ernment and the state school land fund
will be enriched by about 33,000. This
removes the cause of dispute between
Governor West and Attorney-General
Crawford. The Attorney - General
claimed that the state had acted un
wisely in making these selections, as
the land was not valuable enough for
lieu land selections.
The developing company is con
structing long dikes, cutting off vari
ous shallow parts of the lakes, and
will leave the water In these ponds to
evaporate naturally. The salts will
then be collected from the dry lake
bed. The company is under contract
to produce 100.000 tons of these sails
annually. The Pacific Coast market.
Including- shipments to the Far East,
consumes about 150,000 tons annually.
The soda obtained is used largely In
paper pulp and glass manufacture. .

ernoon. The diminishing death rate for chil
dren since 1909, when it was 100, to
1912, when it was 88, was ascribed by

of his department to arrest all viola
tors of the pure milk ordinance.
