It rather inflated his opinion of himself. His fellow players admitted the fact, and regretted it. for he gave promise of developing into a high-class pitcher. Dineen handed . him a lesson that changed the young man considerably for the better. The conversation was heard by only a few, but it soon spread. and Dinneen is being given credit for working a great change in the young man's temperament, which is sure to greatly improve his pitching. After the recruit had several times let it .be known that he believed Bill's eyes needed attention, Dinneen stopped the game, walked half way down to th pitcher's box and expressed himself thusly: . "Don't get it Into your head you-are fooling anybody with that stuff yours. Why I had more speed and a better curve than you have shown when I quit pitching.

Individual scor ing averages as well as team scoring honors will be defended when the Port land Uncle Sams meet the Victoria Aristocrats in the Portland Ice Hippo drome tonight. While this battle is being waged the Vancouver Million aires will be trying to obtain a firmer hold on second place In the league at the expense of the Seattle Metropoli tans in Seattle. Manager E. H. Savage, of the Uncle Sams, had his athletes for a light work out yesterday afternoon and all fhe boys are in great shape to put up a rip-snorting battle. Captain Eddie Oatman has inspired more pep into the team because every victory from now on means a notcn closer to the Coast championship and maybe the world's title. e m Seattle has recuperated from the slump it was in and the Portland puck sters are of the opinion that Frank Patrick's Millionaires will have to be content with a tie for second place in the leasue standings after tonight's contest in Seattle. Manager Fete Mul- doon has been on the lookout for a couple of new players, and as a result of this his players are bending every effort to remain on the payroll. - Both the Victoria-Portland game here and the Vancouver-Seattle affair will start promptly at 8:30 -o'clock to night and arrangements have been mautj lu announce me Bwre . Sound Citv iratherinar bv Deriocfs dur-7 ing the intermissions at the Portland Ice Hippodrome. Lester Patrick and his Victorians are due to arrive this afternoon from the north. Just who will make the trip is not known here. Sibby Nichols, who was with the Van couver Millionaires for about a month after the season opened, has been turned over to Victoria. He has been a regular in the last two games, and from reports sent out from th North Nichols is showing some of his old-time speed. One month from today and the 1915- 16 season of the Pacific Coast Ice Hockey Association will be a thing of the past, unless something unforeseen happens. The regular schedule calls for the last games on February 25, Seattle at Portland and Vancouver at Victoria. A victory for the Uncle Sams and a defeat for Vancouver tonight will give the Portlanders a lead of two and one half games, with oniy seven more games to go. From now on the Uncle Sams will re ceive the "acid test." Next Tuesday Seattle will form the opposition in Portland and three days later the Port' landers will Journey to Vancouver to compete against the world's chanr pions. After this has been done both septets will jump to the Portland Ice Hippodrome for a game four days later. Then Manager Savage will take his pucksters to Seattle on the follow ing Friday. BY BILLY EVANS. American League Umpire. RONNIE MACK'S recruit pitchers J just about smashed all records for wildness last season. It was a rather extraordinary game in which Connie's young pitchers did not give at least a dosen bases on balls. It Is mighty difficult for a team to win when the opposition is almost certain to have a doxen players passed to first in every game. That was the obstacle that the Mackmen were up against almost daily. I recall a game in which the Athletics had a six-run lead up to the eighth Inning. The game looked like a cinch. As Connie often said last season, no game is a cinch for us until it is over, and we have succeeded in making more runs than our opponents. In the eighth the unexpected, or perhaps in this one particular case it would be more proper to say the expected, happened, the young pitchers developed a streak of wildness, and when tne game was over the visiting club had overcome tho six run lead of the Mackmen and had a run to spare. On the way to my dress ing room I bumped into Connie on his way to the offices of tne ciud. "Those young pitchers seem to have a habit of getting wild just when it will help the opposition most,' I remarked. "Habit." said Connie. "That wild ness is no longer a habit with those boys. 1t is a disease." Bill Dineen in his day was one of the game's greatest pitchers. When Bill was a star he tried only to pitch. he never made any effort to tell the umpires how they could improve their work. and Incidentally miss less strikes. For that reason, umpires al ways liked to work behind Dineen, for they knew their work would not be open to criticism, because of con stant bickering over rulings on balls and strikes. Now that Dinneen is an umpire he can see no reason why a pitcher should be? constantly disputing either by word or action, for it is a well known fact that a pitcher by his manner can make things troublesome Benefit Boxing and Wrestling Tour ney to Be Held at Oregon City.

PROVIDENCE CliTJB IS SOLD Price of $30,000 Includes Players, bnt Not Grounds. NEW YORK. Jan. 24. At the con clusion of a meeting of the Interna tional League baseball club owners here today it was officially announced that the Providence club had been pur chased from Joseph J. Lannin by Will' iam H. Draper, a Providence business man, for S30.000. This amount is the purchase price of the club and its play ers, and does not include the grounds on which the club will continue to play. Before leaving for Providence the new .axi'ner of the club said that 20 years ago the Providence team be longed to him, and he hoped that he will be as successful with the new venture as he was during his former ownership. President Barrow made the announce ment that the Richmond franchise would return with President Jack Dunn to Baltimore, where it originally be longed. The Harrisburg franchise was transferred to Richmond, and the Har risburg players, as well as the Jersey City club's players, will be disposed of by the league. r HIPPODROME IS KNOWN AFAR California Men Are Investigating Portland Ice Rink. The fame of the Portland Ice Hippo drome has spread far and wide. In quiries from all parts of the Pacifie Coast have been made for information regarding the ice arena. S. O. Swan berg, of San Francisco, and W. B. Ga latt, of Truckee. Cal., are in Portland to obtain data about the rink. Mr. Swanberg is manager of the Por- tola-Louver and it is his desire to put in a big ice-skating rink in his estab lishment. Inquiries have been made to Manager Savage and Assistant Manager Keller, of tho Portland Ice riippoarome, from SDokane. Salt Lake, Oakland and Los Angeles, and it seems to be the general impression that a circuit will be formed along the Pacific Coast. T AUUI RIIV nr M III fH I DC DROPPED BY LEAGUE Admission of Butte to North western Is Favored by Van couver Chief. CIRCUIT FOR 1916 FORMS Spokane, Seattle and Vancouver Also Are Suggested to Comprise Or ganizatlon Life Savings of McGinnity Lost in Tacoma. VANCOUVER, B. C. Jan. 24. (Spe cial.) While the baseball fans of this part of the world are at sea over tbe question of the circuit on which the Northwestern League will operate in 1916, and in the absence of any definite information from Butte, President Bob Brown, of Vancouver, is just as much at sea as the fans, there is no question in respect to the cities in which the league's franchises would be operative were the last word in the matter lctt to the Vancouver magnate. In that event, Butte. Spokane, Seattle and Vancouver would comprise the clr. cuit. Brown is strong for Butte, but he would eliminate Tacoma from the Northwestern map and the league cir cuit committee, Blewett, Farr and Dug dale, which is now worrying a lot over the subject, would save Itself a lot of time, trouble and anxiety in deciding which of Anaconda, Missoula or Aber deen would be the best of three uncer tain bets to round out the circuit with Tacoma. Brown has given the subject a lot of consideration. He has a lot of expert ence back of him in the Northwestern League, having been an owner and manager in' the organization for longer period than any other of the magnates with the exception of D. E. Dugdale, in Seattle. Tacoma has never demonstrated its right to the possession of a franchise in the Northwestern League on the strength of any solid support given its club," said President Brown recent ly. "There has never been a year in the history of that club when the owner, at some time or other during the season, has not had to dig down into the velvet of his private bank roll to keep Tacoma on the baseball map. Joe McGinnity went over there in 1912 with the savings of a lifetime to his credit and an ambition to give Ta coma a real place in baseball through the quality of the club representing the city. Joe knows baseball and baseball players he started out on the work or building up his machine with energy and ambition He had some enthusi astic support from the fans for a min ute or two and things looked rosy to him, but the interest soon died. The people of Tacoma failed to rise to the same relative height in their support that McGinnity had risen to in his ef fort to give them real baseball. Things got worse instead of better as tne years rolled along and it is now com mon knowledge tnat Alctiinnity s lire savings have been dissipated through his ownership in the Tigers. Even last year, when financial at- fairs in British Columbia were at their lowest ebb, 'the Vancouver club made showing equally as good as that made by the Tigers, and the conditions in Tacoma were practically normal.

After a rest of a few days following the trip to the north, the California basket ball team again is practicing. There are 14 games on the schedule, includ ing the strongest teams on the Coast. Captain Norton is out of the game for the season with a fractured wrist.' Le- roy Sharp, who has taken his plac, already has played one season with the basketball team and is a fast and val uable man. More ' interest is being displyed in basketball this season here than ever before, and in all probability the game will be voted a major sport, placing it on the same footing as football. The reason that this action has not been taken before is that the weather here permits outdoor athletics almost the entire season, and a game that is played inloors is sure to suffer under such conditions.

The card as announced last night is as follows: 122 pounds, Billy Mascott vs. Joe Benjamin, of Spokane; 142 pounds, Eddie Boatright vs. Tommy Clark; 108 pounds, Abio Gordon vs. "Toughy" Wing; 158 pounds. Valley Trambitas vs. "Tad" Derbyshire; 133 pounds. "Muff" Bronson vs. Jimmy Moscow; 155 pounds, Frank Parslow vs. Eddie Murphy, of San Francisco. Benjamin is one of itne classiest boxers seen around here for some time and from all accounts is not afraid to mix. This being the case his bout with Mascott should prove a hummer. Tommy Clark has been longing for a return go with Boatright since their last -meeting one week ago and says that the result never will be in doubt after he gets through with the Sell wood fireman. It will be remembered that Jack Wagner obtained a draw with the former Seattleite, after which Tommy stopped him in the sixth round. Abie Gordon will take on ' Toughy Wing, the little feljow from Albina. They have boxed twice before and always have pleased the fans. If Derby shire can keep out of the way of Valley Trambitas" right hand, their setto should be lively. Jimmy Moscow, who has nor been performing as well this Winter as last. has agreed to take on "Muff ijronson. the clever little Canadian, who Sammy Howard, manager of Frank Farmer, thinks is one of the best prospects in the Northwest. Eddie Murphy is a new boy in Portland circles, hailing from San Francisco, where fighters grow. Parslow will have his hands full from all accounts. Joe Bonds, the Tacoma heavyweight. who Eddie McGoorty. the middleweight. stopped in one round in Australia last September, is quoted in Tacoma as say ing that he had no complaint to make against the Rose City Athletic Club, of Portland. He boxed here against Jack Root a short while ago. But he thought that the referee and timekeeper did not know much. He agreed with Root before the match that if both were on their feet at the end of six rounds the bout was to be called a draw, and advised Jockey Bennett, who officiated, to that, effect. Jockey pulled a "boot" by agreeing to such a thing. Even so, it ill be comes a man to complain about referees and timekeepers. Jack Fahie, who kept time, managed "Mysterious" Billy Smith, when he was in his prime, is about 55 years old and has followed boxing all of his life. He kept time at boxing matches before Joe was out of knee pants. ai Billy Weeks, the Canadian middle weight, has challenged Frank Farmer, who is at present in Portland, to a match at 158 pounds ringside. Weeks says also that he intends to put up either $500 or 11000 as a forfeit to bind a match with LeB Darcy, that is, if he intends to come to America. Sam Howard, who looks after Farmer, says that Weeks is not sincere in his chal lenges and Is not to be taken seriously. The Canadian has about as much rhnnc of landintar a match with Darcy. if he does come to this country so as an elephant has of wearing roi: skates. Weeks would do good if couia go to i.ew York and get a pr Iiminary bout without challenging boy that has knocked out McGoort Murray and beat Jimmy Clabby a Georgo "Knockout" Brown. Tommy Tracey, Multnomah Club i structor, believes that when Dur comes to America, "Snowy" Baker, ti Australian promoter, will be his ma. ager. Tommy says that Baker is ti wise a bird to let Jack Kearns or ai other American manager come to t Antipodes and take a boy of Darc caliber away with him. Baker and To Andrews, of Milwaukee, co-operate sending boxers to and from Australi PARK TEAM BENEFIT TONIGH Inter-Cily League Football Chain plons Arrange Programme.
