BEAVERS WILL NOT TAKE OHIiORE IN Manager McCredie Only Files List of Men to Be Turned Back by Cleveland. SOME GOOD MEN IN BUNCH Walter Says Kores' Row Witli Giants Was OTcr Flayer Boosting Sal ary Demand After Setting Price at $2500. EI ROSCOB FAV7CETT. . Walter McCredie yesterday received a list of the Cleveland players to be turned back to the minora, but simply filed the names and said he was n t in the market for more material just now. , "1 Intend to go to Spring camp at rresno with the 26 men now on the roster." said he. "If Portland needs any others J can go out and get them after the league opens March 30. I won't need more than one or two men under any circumstances." Here are the players Charley Somen likely will return to the smaller clr- CURerold. Kellly. Thomas. Hovlik. Beck. Benn. Tedrow. Carter. Dillinger. Larry Pczold, Torn Reilly and F. Thomas are said to be the most prom ising of the assortment, as New Orleans lias expressed a desire to nab one of the trio. All are shortstops and are of no service to the two Cleveland clubs. Birmingham has Chapman at short for the Indians and Manager Jack Knight, of the Cleveland Asso ciation club, will play short on his own team. . 1 don't know much about tnesa lei lows." commented SIcCredie when the list of discard cllgtbles was sprung on him. "Reilly and Thomas, though, are good ballplayers. I am told. 1 nearly drafted Thomas a couple of years also from up in Wisconsin. He got away to Omaha, where he played second and short last season, bitting .283. . ' X wrote Jess Garrett about him when Jess was with Omaha, and Jess replied that Thomas was the best shortstop in the Western Ifu Cleveland purchased hi'i last Fall. Tedrow, Carter, DIMInger, Hovlik, Beck and Benn are pitchers. McCredie again formally anounced the release of Pitchers Smith and Mc Corry to New Orleans. Jack Halla. the old Los Angeles southpaw, has been signed by Salt Lake for a Spring tryout. Halla won 12 and lost nine games for Butte last bummer. Los Angeles has opened negotiations with Tacoma for the purchase of In fielder Fred McMullin. of the Tacoma club Mac was tried last year by Ee- , ... "Pepgv" Barth. the young catcher, for whom Walter McCredie has been angling of late, has found '".fn iastlc sponsor in U. S. Smith. Both have been "bushing" it this Winter around Los Angeles and this is what Smith warbles about Barth: "Talk all vou want about your young ballplavers.but Barth will make them all sit up and take notice. I've pitched against him In these Sunday games and j haven't dished him anything yet that he hasn't been able to slam to the outfields. .I've tried my fast one, slow one. hook, cross-fire and every thing known to pitchers, but he chases tho outfielders to death just the same. ... In a game at El Centre Cal.. last Sunday the home club defeated Im perial. 12-0. and Dave Bancroft poled five hits in five trips off Jack Ryan. Irve Kantlehner held Imperial to four hits and won his eleventh game in 13 ttarts. ... Jacinto del Calvo. the Los Angeles Cuban outfielder, did not bat .200 last vear. so his girl jilted him.

Kddie Fave. the infieldcr purchased by Salt Lake from Denver, in company with Louis Barbour, may be used in the ou .field by Blankenship. Faye plaved left field for Great Falls' pennant-winning team in 101 S. He ca vorted in the outfield for Denver last vear in 21 games and was then moved in to second has-; for 120 games. Fave's record follows: Games. 157; A. B i: R-. 109: E. It.. SO; H.. 179: T. B., "32- 2b.. 17; 3b.. 17: H. R.. 4: S. H, l"s B.. 31: B. B.. 56: S. O.. 75; patting average. .289: fielding average at sec ond ?5i, in the outfield. 929. Barbour batted .264 for the same club. ... Wait McCredie yesterday told what purports to be the Inside story of the trouble between the New York Giants and Arthur Kores during their con tract negotiations. "After the Giants drafted Kores. Mc Graw telegraphed me and asked me to get Kores" terms." explained Big Mack. "I asked Kores and he said he would sign for J2400. so I tele graphed McGraw theso terms. "Sign him.- replied Muggsy. When I broke the news to Kores he boosted his price to $2600. That made me pretty sore on the Dutchman and I asked him wUv he didn't say J2600 in the first place if that was what he wanted. " 'Well, it's this way. Mac." whined Kores. I am 30 years old and have "gotta" get the money now. These folk all think I am only 24, but I am 30 "I was ready to wash my- hands or the whole business." added Mack, "but flnallv I telegraphed McGraw again and we setUed by giving $2600 to Kores. MORMOXS SIGX H. GREGORY Blankenship Believed to Be After Schneider, of Cincinnati. SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. Jan. 29. (Special.) The signed contract of Howard Gregory, pitcher for the 1914 Sacramento team, was received this afternoon by Bill O'Connor, business manager of the local club. Gregory wrote that he is satisfied with- the terms offered to him by Blankenship. and added that he was glad to land with the Mormons. That Blankenship's dark-horse pitch er is Pete Schneider, of the Cincinnati Reds, is the opinion that prevails among . local baseball authorities. Schneider was bought from the Seattle club in 191J by Scout John McCloskey and did good work for the Reds last vear. The report that Blankenship is trying to get Pitcher Ylngling. also of the Beds, is not credited here, be- cause Yingling proved one of the best men on the Cincinnati pitching staff during 1914. Signed contracts from Fred Carmen and Ray Kremer also have been re ceived at headquarters. Carmen is an outfielder, well-known to the local fans by virtue of his playing in the Union Association last year. Kremer Is one of the youthful pitchers on the 191S Sacramento team. The directors held another meeting this afternoon, but again postponed their decision concerning the establish ing of a ball park.

Pacific Coast hockeyists are taking an unusual interest in the race because the winner probably is to come West and play either Portland or Vancouver for the world's championship. The Pacific Coast season will end March 9. so the world's series will be played the second week in March, in oil likelihood. This is dependent, of course, upon a settlement of the fight between the two major hockey leagues. If they do not call a truce Frank Pat rick Intends to bring the best team out on his own hook. "In baseball the National commission has absolute control over its players, even after the season is over, but not so in hockey," said he. "All the hockey players work at other jobs eight months in thn vear. ho they are more Independ ent than ballplayers. We can bring any team out here we want, despite the protestations of the nauonai .nocaey Association. "However," continued President Pat rick. "I think the Nationals will make peace with us before March." The scores of the last National series are as follows: Toronto 2, Canadians 1. Wanderers 14, Shamrocks 4. .Ottawa 7, Quebec 2.

"We offered Deal a new contract on the same terms under which he played last year." said Stallings. "It was optional with him whether he would continue with us or Join the Fed erals."

Charlie Deal, who won fame in the world's series last Fall by stepping into the breach at third base after Smith was injured.

Hear ing her husband talking to his brother in Chicago and believing ho was tell ing a lawyer of his plans to divorce her. Mrs. Clara Boken Jones this after noon shot her husband. Archie, as he stood at the phone. She then turned the weapon on herself, inflicting a probably fatal wound. Archie's brother, J. F. Jones, heard the shot in Chicago and his brother's voice cry over the wire? "My God, I'm shot." "I heard it I'll be right up." was the Chlcagoan's answer. Then he heard another shot and could not get his brother again, but could hear the tap, tap of the telephone receiver as it swung against the-wall in Milwaukee. From Chicago he called the Milwau kee police to tell them of the shoot ing. The shooting appears to have been the result of a family misunderstand ing, for Archie Jones, as well as his Chicago brother, denies the woman's story of divorce proceedings being under way. Archie Jones will re cover, but his wife is not expected to live. Jones, Milwaukee representative for the New York Rubber Company, came here about two years ago from the East. His wife was a former Indiana girl. They were married in Kalama zoo, Mich., in a runaway weaamg to avoid the bride's Indiana friends. There are two children by Jones' first mar riage, but both were out of the house when the shooting took place. Oriental and European Politics. (Atlanta Constitution.) The circumstantial reports that Ja pan contemplates sending an army to Europe to aid her allies against Ger many has aroused misgivings in many quarters, and has found concrete ex pression in France. The French For eign Minister has declared that to im port Japanese troops to Europe not only may turn the scale in favor of the allies from a military standpoint, but it will complicate matters when the day of settlement comes. The Minister al most made a veiled allusion as to Bow the United States might view this plan. Undoubtedly, the use of Japanese troops in the European war will bring a new and baffling element into the situation. In the Far East the alliance with England was embarrassing enough, but there were extenuating circumstances. The treaty understand ing was that Japan was to aid England and vice versa in the Orient. Even then Janan has shown a disposition to be aggressive and go farther than her ally expected of her. To bring her troops Into Europe is to plunge a first-rate, but Oriental, power Into the thick of European poli tics, with the right to debate in the dictation of ultimate peace terms. A a to the effect upon the United States, that is another matter. The "yellow peril" scare has never been taken seriously in this country, ex cept by a scattered percentage of jin goes and protessionai war-maners. Alluring.

"They are lighting on both sides. Yet their masters are not in sympathy with them and they really have an enemy in front and behind. "Their homes have been devastated, destroyed, .confiscated. They who re main are subject to suffering from either side. Those who fly are In ab ject want. If every Jew In America was to give every cent he could raise it would not serve to mitigate much of the suffering. But we must give and give to lur limit, "Ths sufferings of the Jewish people in Russian Poland. Qallcla and the other countries where the fighting Is going on is intense. Yet they will have no redress. It is the fate of the Jew ish people. "Belgium is a nation. It has been destroyed. Yet when the war Is ended the Belgians will be indemnified, either by Germany or by France and England. The Jews will not. They are not a na tion. "The United States is the only coun try in the world that-has given the Jew the fullest rights of a citizen. And the Jews of America must show their gratitude for this by advancing the cause of the country that has mads them welcome at all times. "The democracy and Justice of this country is essentially that which has been taught the Jewish race for cen turies and which has always been their aim, but which they never found until they came here. "The most illiterate dweller In the smallest town in Russia, the most au tocratic of countries, can come here and he wll find that our methods and social distinctions and our Justice Is the same that he and his forbears have been taught from the books of tlie prophets. That is why the Immigrant Jew Is so easily assimilated. "There are 3,000,000 Jews in America and they are the most fortunate and happy of the race scattered over the world. In no other place havo they the freedom that they have here. And it is to the American Jew that has fallen the task of leading the rest of the Jews back to Palestine and a Jew ish nation. "We must show to America that we appreciate the true brotherhood of man as expressed by American Ideals of de mocracy and Justice and the Jews of this country must do their utmost to show their appreciation of brotherhood by carrying forward tho. Ideals of America. To do less Is to fall in our duty. The Jew was taught democracy by continued misfortune. But it has also sharpened his Intellect and caused him to advance in every way. The Jew of today is successful because he has studied life. He has not stopped at books. Eternal study has caused him to accomplish what he has. "The past shall stand as a mirror for the future. Race and tradition are everything to a nation. We must form a combined nation and preserve our race. It is to the credit of the Jewish race that throughout thes many hun dreds of years it has preserved itself through its teachings and despite per secution. "We have suffered. We have sur vived. The land of our fathers is the one towards which we shall turn our faces. It is the land of Judaism. The land of the Jew." BOURNE PUN ASSAILED SHORT LINES WANT PAY FOR MAIL OS BASIS OF WEIGHT.

At the same time this pub licity agent makes an attack on the star route carriers, asserting that they are paid more for tho service they per form than the Government receives In postage. Coming at a time when prac tically all Western Senators and Rep resentatives are condemning the Post office Department for refusing to pay star route carriers the actual cost of performing service, this latter attack of the short lino railroads agalrfst the star route carriers will get littlo sym pathy in Congress. The short line railroads, some "60 of them, contend that under tho Bourne plan their pay will be reduced from 60 to 80 per cent. Therefore, they de mand that their pay be based on the weight of mail carried, the computation to be based on an annual weighing, which is the basis today.
