NEW YORK. Jan. 1. The liberality
of the Federal League toward Its play
era left the club-owners of organised
ball dumbfounded when the Federals
showed their salary list at the recent
Duct meeting in this city. A clun
owner In one of the major leagues said
recently that ha was surprised when
the Federal officials told of the thous
ends of dollars they had spent on in.
fisted salaries. To lurs the playsrs
away from tha majors salaries were
doubled and some tripled.
Not only did the Federal League sign
many players at exorbitant salaries
for long terms, but It gave tnera
bonuses of from 11000 to SSuuO advance
at the lime they signed.
Old. seasoned baseball men say that
the most prosperous year that base
ball has ever had could not afford
such high salaries.
An official of organised ball said:
They estimate that the Federal
League lost 13.000,000 In this venture.
I say I4.&00.000 or 13.000.000 would be
nearer the mark. It was the biggest
Dlcre of folly I ever heard of to im
agine that any baseball league could
live and pay players auch salaries.
It Is estimated that more than 75 of
the ball players which Ue Federal
League enticed a Bay from organized
ball with the big offers of money re
ceived more than twice as much as

BOUT 15 FLIVVER
"Mysterious Billy" Smith Fails
in "Comeback" Role.
OLD BOXER FALLS PRONE
Jack Root Doesn't Kxtend Himself
and Antagonist Drops Without
Receiving Blow Trambltas
Puts Cohen on Ron.
"Mysterious" Billy Smith, hero of
many a hard-fought boxing bout back
In the days when the Willamette River
used to freexe over, tried to exhibit
some of his former prowess last night.
Billy was booked as one of the head-
liners at tha Rose City' Club against
Jack Root and the bout was a flivver.
Napoleon once remarked that "an
army travels on its belly." Billy Joined
Napoleon's army In the sixth round.
He didn't o down from anything Root
did to him because his 200-pound an
tagonist was kind. But Billy's legs re
fused to stand tha load. After five
and one-half rounds of wobbling they
caved. Billy Topped down on the mat
apd Referee Bennett stopped the "ex
hibition." A flock of Billy's old cronies were
on hand and they roundly applauded,
but those of the 1100 spectators look
ing for action were disappointed. The
match was no test for Root.
The real feature bout was furnished
by Ike Cohen and Valley Trambltas,
middlewelghts. Cohen resembled Smith
a great deal In the vicinity of the bread
basket and was walloped by Trambltas
all over the cunvm spread. Trambltas
gave away several pounds. Cohen put
up a game battle for an old-timer,
however, and kept Valley busy poking
him In the nose Trambltas got the
decision.
Another battle rovsj was put on by
Henry Krleger and Frank Parslow. The
bout waa In the welterweight division.
Parslow got the decision.
Abe Gordon made his first appear
ance after an extended layoff. He out
classed Kid Brown and sent him slum
bering In the third canto. They fought
t IOj pounds.
In the curtain-raiser, at 100 pounds.
little Sammy Gordon gave away weight

round draw.

NEW- ORLEANS. Dec 29. The 20-
round fight for the heavyweight cham
pionship; scheduled for March 4 In this

Fulton, of Minnesota, waa definitely de
clared off today by Tom Jones, Wll-

local promoter, who was a partner of
Domlnlck J. Tortorlch in promoting the

A disagreement between Jones and
Burns over the latter's insistence that
Fulton meet some other first-class
fighter before the Willard match caused
the cancellation. Jones said tonight
there was a strong probability that
Willard and Fulton would fight for the
championship In Milwaukee Febru-
ry 22.
Burns telegraphed to Frank Mornn's
manager at New York late today offer

Olson Ref tjses to Admit Evers
I So Clever.
I-H Actually Crabs S. Much That It
lalerferrs With Ills I'laylnsV I"
Comment.
LOS ANGELES. Dec 27. (Special.)
Johnny Evers has frequently been
dubbed the "smartest player In base
ball, and is generally accepted as such
by tha public .
Some of the players, however, do not
agree with this estimate Df the "Lltt.e
Trojan.' One of these Is Ivan Olson,
former Portland shortstop.
'If he is wise a. a lot of people claim.
he would cut out some of his crabbing,"
said Olson. "He .and Ty Cobb are al
ways In a Jam with the right-field
bleachers. There Is an Incessant duel
of words on between them and the
bleacher birds. -
That Is all right If you don't, let it
Interfere with your playing. When
Cobb makes a hit. say to left field, he
will round first and keep his eye on
the ball to see whether or not it got
by tha fielder. If it didn't, he returns
to first base and pays his compliments
to the bleachers.
"Evers. under the same circum
stances, will not turn first and watch
the ball. Instead he will stop, turn
around and give the fans the merry
haw-haw. If that is good baseball,
then a lot of us have been given the
wrong line.
"Mind you, I am not saying that
Evers Isn't a smart ballplayer. He
knows a lot of baseball, but he is by
no means Infallible, as a lot of per
sons seem to think, and does not ea
rn ays use the best of Judgment"
Jack Coombs and other players going
from tha American to the National
League agree with Olson's estimate to
a large degree.
Sound Argument Against
So-Called "Clothing Sales"
On the authority of a wool man
I am told
THE WORLD IS SHORT OF
40,000,000 SHEEP
This means a shortage of about
200,000,000 pounds of wool. On
top of this shortage the world's,
wool consumption is doubled
owing to war. We-have ceased
to import dyes, owing to war.
These conditions have made
clothing higher. To reduce clothing now is surely
not safe unless the goods are priced too high in the
first place or from poor merchandising. Come up
stairs, where the clothing is always priced the very
lowest all the year round.

rejected by the bankers.
There is no definite information re

land capitalists, headed by Ben Hop
pins, are said to have been offered the
club for 8376.000, but it is not believed
this offer will be accepted. President
Johnson intimated tonight that he had
received a good bid for the club and
It was rumored that Ed Gwinner, own

GRANT LAW 10 DE ASKED
ACT DEFINING STATl'S SPECIFI
CALLY IS WANTED.
Provision for I'se and Disposition of
Lands Also Desired by Interior
Department and Railway.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec. 29. Congress is to bo
asked this Winter to pass some law de
fining specifically the status of lands
granted to the Northern Pacific and
other railroads for right of way pur
poses, and providing specitically for the
use and disposition of such lands.
Within the last ten days the Supreme
Court, in the Concannon case, in tho
State of Washington, held that the
Northern Pacific was without power to
convey title to lands within Its right
of way. Previously the court had held
that the right of way grant did not
convey a title in fee to the railroad
company. The Interior Department,
following the decisions of the courts,
holds that the title conferred on the
railroad company is something more
than a mere easement is, in fact, a.
base or limited fee.
It is probable that the railroad com
pany will join with the land depart
ment in asking Congress more spe
citically to define the status of lands in
right of way grants, in order that all
parties concerned may know "where
they are at" and In order that the lands
may not longer be tied up in a way
that retards their proper use.
