"Derrick is a naturally brilliant play er and could make good in the majors. His fault here is that he is a little hit listless about his work and doesn't take the best care of himself. Of course, 1 will not let him go unless Rickey comes across with a couple.of satisfac tory players." If Southpaw Tinglinjr were a China man, as his name might imply. Salt Lake City could boast the most cosmo politan pitching corps in all organized baseball. Blankenship's purchase of the In diana slab veteran. Laroy, from Indian apolis, completed the picture. Blank now has on his flinging staff a Hawaiian, Johnny Williams; a Span iard. Frank Arellnnes; a couple of wild Irishmen, Malarkey and Toner, not to mention Southpaw Williams, an Amer ican, his aboriginal nibs, Laroy, and a German or two. Laroy's home is near Bemidji. in Northern Minnesota, and he has been pitching in the American Association ever fince the days of Minnehaha. Chief was the mainstay of the St. Paul club through many a stirring cam paign under Mike Kelly. In 1913 he was traded or sold to In dianapolis, and, with a tail-end club, Laroy had a very bad year. N.i pitching statistics are available for Ijirov's work last season, but in 1912 with St. Paul the Indian won 20 games and lost 10 and the Saints fin ished in sixth position that Fall, too. Perhaps the change in environment to the Pacific Coast will help Laroy. And then again, perhaps, the redskin has shot his arrow. yingling. the other new pitcher candidate purchased by Blankenship within a week, is said to be a dandy ballplayer. Bill James played with Yingling at Toledo in the fag end of 1910. That Fall Yingling went up to Cleveland and was traded back to Toledo for Big Bill" in mtdseason of i:m. aier Brooklyn drafted or purchased the southpaw, and. from Brooklyn he was shunted around to Cincinnati. James was under the impression, too. that Yingling at one time wore Detroit livery for a few games, so he has had enough big league experience to make him immune to stagefrlght. Ping Bodie did not cost the San Francisco Seals a single penny. Such is the dope that conies north from the California metropolis. After trying to peddle Bodie for f2500. Charley Comis ev tsimplv handed him over to Harry Wolverton so as to get out from under his 1915 salary contract. Hut Wolverton didn't have to shoul der Bodie's big league contract. He offered ringlets a parchment at the usual Coast scale and Bodie signed it with alacrity. When BUI Malarkey received his 1915 contract from Salt Lake City the other day ho almost fainted. It called for a reduction of $700 for the season or about 100 per month. Malarkey is driving a rent machine in Oakland and says ho will quit baseball if Blanken ship doesn't raise the ante. Kohocs From the Padded Mitt. Manager Tommy Walsh says no sport page is complete without some mention of Joe Mandot. Our page is complete lud"y- ... After all. perhaps, if Wlllard wins at Juarez it will not be because he is any good, but, rather, because Johnson is veo more so. It will be noticed that Charley White got a peep at the advance sale of scats before he became affected with chills. . . . Johr.ny Ritchie, the hard-hitting ban tamweight, is being touted high in Chi cago. This is his home town, and the gentlemen who are singing his praises are the same ones that put Charley White in the public eye. ... It would be a joke if Jim Corbett, just to get even with Jack Curley. should have Tom Cowler knock Wiilard out in say about one round. District Attorney Walter Evans, in peaking of the local boxing situation, said he agreed with the Imperial Club's ruling that an amateur boxer was one that did not make a. living out of the game and did not accept money for appearing in the ring. T. Morris Dunne, secretary of the Pacific Northwest Association, says he will take no further action against local boxers. As fast as they appear at the independent club's smokers they will be ruled out of the Amateur Atn letic Union, and he thinks that by next Fall a new crop of boxers will be devel oped-for the amateur clubs that remain loyal to the Pacific Northwest Associa tion.

John Powers, of Chicago, son of the noted Alderman by the same name and a man well-known in sporting circles for many years, is the owner of the Los Angeles baseball club. Powers to day purchased the interests of both Tom Stephens and Henry Berry, there by acquiring much more than a major ity of the stock. The price paid was no announced. Powers said he would not enter ac tively into baseball himself, but that Tom Darmouy, who also owns stock in the Club, would remain in charge of the club's affairs. The change in the ownership of the club takes effect immediately. LIMIT RULE MAY BE IXDORSED American League Today Likely to Set 2 1-Player Maximum. NEW YORIC. Feb. 2.

UKSILA STAR PERFORMER Multnomah Rover Scores 5 of His . Squad's Points and Leslie, His Opponent, Saves Teammates From Being Shut Out. The Multnomah Hockey team last night won the city championship by defeating the Rowing Clug aggrega tion 6 to 1 in a sensational match at the lee HinDodrome.

It is attracting much interest. Bits of Sport. DAVE HENRY, the young iirate pitcher for whom Manager Fred Clarke is predicting big things, is none other than the Dave Henry who played four seasons of football at tne Brown University and who was picked by a number ot experts on tne Aii-.iraenran squad in 1913, the year he captained the Providence eleven. ... The training tables as now conducted n American universities are worse than useless and should be done away with according to "Stubby" Stolz, athletic director at Stanford. "The training table is all bunk, says Stubby." "What suits one man's palate is sure to pall on the tastes ok. another." Chairman Frank Harmar, of the Multnomah Club boxing and wrestling committee, is not worried because the Pacific Northwest Association has can celed the coming smokers at the club. Frank says he hasn t done anything all Winter, but cultivate gray hairs and wrinkles in trying to put on smokers. . George Smith, a young inflelder who played thtrd base for Butte and Salt Lake last season, has been signed by Frank Isbell. former White box nrst sacker. for his Dcs Moines team. Frank says Smltn IS a comer ami tnai Blankenship overlooked a good bet when he let him get away. From present indications Jack Swin- ton. the Grays River battler, and Joe Bonds will meet at Astoria In the near future. At the last meeting in, Astoria Bonds put Swinton away In nine rounds. However, since that meet ing Swinton has been putting himself In shape. Swinton is a big husky and if he can learn to box he no doubt will reverse the decision. So popular is Swinton with the Astoria fans that they sent him to Portland to take a month's instruction before meeting the Tacoma battler again. . . The six-day bike riders now whirl ing in Chicago went the first 80 hours of the race without changing their positions. ... Sanction for a 50.1-mile auto race on the Chicago speedway June 19 has been granted by the American Auto mobile Association. Purses exceeding $50,000 will be offered. Here's a Joy Jar of Real Tobacco Here's the greatest package of smoke satisfaction that any man ever lifted the cover from. It's full of Prince Albert, the real no-bite, no-blister brand of smokin's for pipe and ciga rette. P. A. has got the bulge on every tobacco that's ever been sold or ever will be, because the bite's taken out by a patented pro cess that leaves P. A. as easy on the tongue as a song of gladness. Albeit the national joy smoke is the real prize winner in the ten-cent tidy red tin and tho five-cent toppy red bag, but when a fellow has a pound crystal-glass humidor of P. A. it's just the same as having a sockful of boodle in reserve for a rainy day. Time to replace that empty jar with a full one of P. A. That humidor of tobacco you got for Xmas must be running mighty low mst about now. If you haven't got a good supply of P. A. in the crystal glass jar with the sponge in the cover that keeps it fresh and fragrant for pipe and ciga rette-fit all the time, go to it and invest today. Sold at stores where they sell tobacco.
