SALT LAKE DEAL ON
Blankenship Makes Working
Agreement With Herzog.
CINCINNATI TO HELP GIVE
Wlien New Club Sends Out -S. O. S.'
Call lleds Will Answer With Sucli
Surplus Material as Can 15c
Spared Four Deals Closed.
SALT LAKE. Feb. 3. (Special.)
Cliff Blankenship. manager of the Mor
mons, returned home yesterday from
a flying business trip to St. Ixjuis. Cin
cinnati. Indianapolis and Chicago.
Blankenship had a great many an
nouncements to make, the most impor
tant of which was that he had per-1
fee ted a working agreement with Man
ager Herzog. of the Cincinati Reds,
whereby Salt Lake was to get all of the
surplus material of the Cincinnati club.
Blankenahip says that Herzog lias a
raft of good players who will be avail
able for the local team at ttie opening
session.
Blankenship is enthusiastic over the
success of his Kastern trip and is con
fident that he lias an aggregation of
hall players to compare with those of
anv other Coast Lengue club. When he
left for the Fact. Blankenship intended
to be gone about three weeks. He in
tended to visit New York, Boston and
Washington, but instead of devoting
the three weeks as he first proposed,
he cleaned up his business and returned
to Salt Lake in about a third of that
time.
Four Urals .Negotiated.
Blankenship made four deale while in
the Fast which brings to Salt lake
Karl Yinglinp. premier southpaw of the
1!'14 Reds; Louis Laroy, pitcher for In
diananoiis: Lou Barhour and Kddie Fay,
both inficlders of the Denver in 1 4 club.
While Blankenship refuses to discuss
the terms of the deals whic h involve
these players lie admitted that the pur
chase of Laroy involved a trade of Fred
Carmen of the l!'l I Salt Lake team in
the Union Association along with a
cash consideration. Blankenship re
gards the proposed elevation of the
American, Association to major league
standing as a joke unless like action
is taken with regard to the Pacific
Coast and International Leagues.
"if the National Commission intends
to take anv action along those lines."
said Blankenship. "it will have to con
sider the Coast League as well as the
International. And the Coast League
has the inside track. But as for the
commission' doing business, I don't
think any action will be taken."
Blankenship said that he was sitting
in the office of President Herrmann, of
the Cincinnati Reds when "the an
nouncement was made that it was
proposed to elinimato the draft from
all class AA leagues. He said that Mr.
Herrmann was surprised and expressed
himself as having heard nothing of it
Blankenship said that he considered
the elimination of the draft as improb
able also.
Manager oi-ca South Soon.
According to his present plans.
Blankenship intends to remain, in Salt
Lake about a week to close up a few
business matters here and then he will
light out for the Pacific Coast to close
several deals which are pending and to
make final, plans for the training sea
eon at San Jose.
' Manager Blankenship said tonight
that he is not at all surprised at the
report that Ytngling is holding out
He said that Yingling is signed to a
two-year contract with the Reds and
that the contract was merely trans
ferred to the local club, and that he
is confident that Tingling's only rea
son for a holdout is that he wants to
get part of the purchase price from
Cincinnati.
"I had a talk with Tingling at his
home in Ohio after I closed the deal
with President Hermann and he said
he was satisfied to come to Salt Lake.
1 expect no trouble whatever, and I
am banking on Yincling to report at
San Jose February 23."
Barbour's signed contract was re
ceived at headquarters here today and
along with it cajne a letter in which
Lou said he was glad that he was to
play with the local club this season.
and that he would snow up at San
Jose ready for business.
A report that "Blank" probably will
sign Pitcher Kastley. last year with
Portland, circulated through baseball
circles today, but has been given no
credence by Blankenship himself.
SVKACISK GAM ICS DOIBTIUL
Thanksgiving Kale at Spokane May
Not Be Feasible.
Quite an obstacle has cropped up in
the plans for bringing the Syracuse
1'iiiversily football team to the Pacific
Northwest next Fall. I'nder the terms
of the agreement Syracuse was to be
given a Thanksgiving date at Spokane
against Washington State College, and
Uccembcr 4 in Portland against the
Oregon Aggies.
"The two Spokane high schools ara
scheduled for their annual tussle at
Natatorium park," explained Dr. Stew
art, "and Gonzaga College may also
want a Thanksgiving date at home."
The Aggies dropped basketball games
to the University of Idaho and to Wash
ington State College this trip, but
cleaned up Gonzaga College by a score
of 25-12.

3IKET TO BE FASTER THAN EVER.
.Surplus From l.aat Year to Tic laed to
Place Voifformrit Marchers In
Rose Festival Parades.
Astoria does not intend to skip its
championship speedboat races this year.
G. B. Johnson, chairman of the regatta
committee, was a Portland visitor yes
terday and Mr. Johnson emphatically
derfied newspaper reports of a possible
discontinuance of the regatta this
yea r.
"We expect to play host to the big
gest and most successful regatta in our
historv this year." declared Mr. John
son. "Our 1913 regatta will be held
July J. 2 and 3 unless theee dates come
too close to the San Francisco imposi
tion regatta, dates.
"When tlio Pacific International
Powerboat Association meets this
month we will make formal application
for the Coast championship races, and
I think they will be awarded to us.
Last year we ran into a little tough
luck in water conditions, but other
wise the regatta was a huge success.
We paid off old bills of seven and eight
years' standing, and, beside, there is
now- a surplus of nearly ISuO in the
treasury."
The Astoria booster said . that some
of this money wonld be used to finance
a parade and float in the next Port
land Rose Festival parades.
The Astoria regatta committee will
hold its annual meeting early in
March, but a public "hooray" meeting
is scheduled for February 16.

Vancouver has

Portland took two of them. If the

games with the Britishers ,io far this
season.
The games between Portland and
Vancouver have always been fiercely
contested affairs. Portland lost to
Victoria because two of her men
adorned the penalty bench and five
men could not hold down the Victoria
seven. If Manager Muldoon can keep
his athletes on the ice against Vancou
