Last year a recruit broke into the
American League and met with better
than the average success. 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. Good pitchers
win ball games with their arms and
head, not their mouth."

Another page in the history of the
Pacific Coast Ice Hockey Association
will be turned tonight. Individual scor

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

A victory for the Uncle Sams and a
defeat for Vancouver tonight will give
the Portlanders a lead of two and one

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

PROVIDENCE CliTJB IS SOLD
Price of $30,000 Includes Players,

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

HIPPODROME IS KNOWN AFAR
California Men Are Investigating

The fame of the Portland Ice Hippo

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

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.

CALIFORNIA QUINTET IS H03IE
Captain Norton Is Out of Game for
Season With Injury.
UNIVERSITT OF CALIFORNIA,
Berkeley. Jan. 24. (Special.) 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.
Wenatchee Trims Waterville Quintet
WENATCHEE, Wash.. Jan. 24.
(Special.) Wenatchee High took the
Waterville High School basketball five
into camp Friday night on the Water
ville court, winning with cbmparative
ease. During "the first half Waterville
did not score a single field basket, so
well were the forwards guarded. Wap
ato starred for Wenatchee. shooting 12
field goals. For Waterville Friel and
Mitchell starred.
With a card topped off by Billy
Mascott and Joe Benjamin, who have
agreed to weigh 122 pounds ringside,
the Rose City Athletic Club will stage
smoker next r riday night at its
clubhouse. East First and East Morri
son streets.
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
