Great Britain's part in the great European war is knocking the spots out of Northwestern League ball at Victoria and Vancouver and it is open ly rumored that the league schedule Is to be lopped short about two weeks. The season is supposed to end Sep tember 27, but Pat Eastley, Ballard pitcher, dropped Into Portland yester dav for a short visit and Pat said base ball hostilities likely would cease about SeDtember 13. Victoria isn't drawing a corporal's guard and already Joshua Kingham, owner, has announced his determina tion to turn the franchise over to the leaerue to finance. Bill Burnside, Northwestern League umDire. also drifted into Portland yes terday with the announcement that he had resigned his Job. "I quit, one hour after Fielder Jones did," announced Arbiter Burnside. "That is a fierce league for the um pires." Burnside looked none the worse for wear, despite his mixup with Murray, of the Ballards. Bill said Murray lost his head temporarily and slugged him before he had time to put up a de fense. "I looked for Spokane to win the pennant, but the sale of Holke and the lack of discipline' on the team nearly put the Indians out of the running," said he. . BARNES IS PLAYING STRONG Former Western Golfer Putting Up Splendid Game Now. MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 26. A large gallery spliLbetween Barnes, Kldd and McNamara, Cll of whom played splen didly in every stage of the game today In the Western golf tourney. A cold wind swept the course, but did not interfere seriously with playing. Barnes, former Coast player, who completed yesterday's rounds with 148, took a 73 this morning and negotiated the 18 holes this afternoon in 72. His drives went long against the wind.

Sounding the Sport Reveille A STRAIGHT quarter is on the pro gramme for the races at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. (Our corre spondent says definitely that at the moment of writing the "expo" will take place, the Kaiser notwithstanding.) This should prove once and for all whether modern sprinters are ahead of those of the past generation. The world's record for this is held by Maxey Long, of the New Tork A. C. who breasted the tape at the "Gut" In 47 flat on October 4, 1900. The men most likely to beat this record, if any one will, are Haff, of Michigan; Robinson, of Mercersburg Academy, and Ted Mer edith, of Pennsy. Speaking of footraces, and while still on the track, as it were, we think that Willie Ritchie's $29,000 for that affair In London is the largest purse ever put up for a short or long distance run. Don't you? Australians will continue to view baseball with favor until they get bit ten by the bacillus baseball magnate. Charles Comiskey never watches a ball game from the lower grandstand. He always likes to get away up in the upper deck. But then what can you expect from a man who always looks down on the players? Marty McHale, of the Yanks, says that after the ball season is over he's going Into vaudeville. But Isn't he right in it at this moment? You know those little mascot fig ures entitled "gloom." They would have sold more if they'd taken a Mad ame Tussaud impression of Gllmour Dobie's opening speech relative to the fighting strength of the Washington squad. Everybody's doing it! Doing what? Declaring war on Germany. This Is the time for the Players' Fraternity to join with the other martial ones. If Daniel O'Leary Esqre (always put the "re" at the end of the last word if you want to be au fait) should walk 1000 miles in 1000 hours why. he will have walked 1000 miles in 1000 hours. High school officials admit that. But. constant reader, what of It? We fre quently do the same thing, only we stop In between times to play checkers and to talk over the war situation with our allies. Our special correspondent has re turned with news from the front as to our opponents in the next Olympic fight. The great contest will be held in Sweden, and America will be forced to meet the doughty champions of Spain, Siam, the Um-Yah-Yahs of Neu tral Central East Africa, and possibly the Thingamybobs. We favor taking up a National collection if success is to crown our runners with a laurel wreath. At great expense and after mature investigation he has been un able to find any. other nation that at present has not a previous engagement. P. S. The "he" in the last sentence of the foregoing paragraph refers to our special correspondent. We always like to be clear In our diction. That's why we added the Postum special. Once again Spokane will put an In dian blanket around Jimmy Lewis. When Bill Hogan joined Spokane he that is. Jimmy was sold to Ballard. Then McCorry failed to make good as an outfielder for Spokane, received the order of the boot and was picked up by Ballard because Jimmy was out of the game with a spiked foot. Then Mc Corry went and played a whirlwind game for Ballard against Spokane, and then hurt his hip, so there may still be another General Post. In the meantime Bill Hogan has "been and done It again, naughty boy." for Mr. Fnrr sus pended him for breaking the training rules, and you know what that means. Curses on the demon rum! So, after all this, which is really true, can you tell me who has the best of the deal. Our puzzle editor is not on hand, so the decision must rest with our myriad readers. LASSIE M'GREGOK WINs BTAW Daughter of .lay McGregor Defcat- Margarct Drain In $5000 Go. BUFFALO. N. Y.. Aug. 26.

To get rid of a great accumulation of timber stocks, the British Columbia Govern ment lias decided to lift its restriction which for several years has prohibited the export of logs from this province to the United States. There are now approximately 125,000,000 feet of logs in the water here In excess of local demands. All these doubtless will be shipped to Seattle, Everett and Tacoma for sale in the open market.

Drafting does not begin until Sep tember 15. but the purchase season closed yesterday. Rodgers does not hae i n iirt until next Spring. Bill ought not to have mm h diffi culty making good with the Naps, for he Is a much more valtiahlo man than most of the local fans appreciate. Mc Credle drafted him from Waterbury, in the Connecticut League. In the Fall of 1910 and he has been one of the league leaders In all departments ever since. His record follows: 1911, 99 games, hatted .265, .953 and stole 18 bases. 1912, 184 games, batted .306. .947 and stole 25 bases. 1913, 19I games, baited .30.'.. fielded fielded fielded .965 and stole 42 bases. This V ear's Hrrord Is ..TOO. So far this year he has batted 300 and leads the league In b.i.-e-slenling. with nearly 70 to his credit. Bill will not be able to touch Jimmy Johnston's world record of 125, hut he bids fair to lop loo, and that Is going some. Rodgers Is 25 years old, married, bnta left-handed and began playing ball with Rochester In 1909. He was farmed that year to Waterbury. Hill's homo la at Cincinnati.
