Big Six Steen Is to bo a bona fide member of the San Francisco club dur ing 1817, providing he can show his worth as a pitcher. Steen came to San Francisco today from Southern California for a confer ence with Harry Wolverton. As a re sult of their understanding, Steen signed his contract and Wolverton an nounced he is to be retained as one of the regulars. It's no secret that Steen and Wolver ton got along last year like a pair of strange bulldogs. "Everything is all right and the dif ferences that we thought existed have been smoothed away, declared Steen. "I am satisfied with conditions and my contract and will do the best work I can."

Last Team to Reach Night Quarters Has Only Four Dogs, One Having Been Killed in Fight Lead Offset by Longer Rest. HAiMILTON, N. D., Jan. 25. Ten dog teams, competing In the 522-mile derby from Winnipeg to St. Paul, crossed the international boundary line into the United States late today, and tonight three leaders were in camp here, while 18 miles back over the snowy trail their seven competitors were quartered at Pembina, N. D. Gunnar Tomasson, from Hecla (Big Island), Manitoba, and his team of five huskies broke The trail Into thifl town at 8:10 P. M. and was followed shortly by Mike Kelly, also of Hecla, driving five huskies, and Hyurtur Hanson, of Selkirk, Man., and his quintet of cross bred Russlawolfhound and huskies. The advantage held by the three leaders was discounted somewhat by the fact that their competitors paused for the night s rest almost two hours earlier, at 6:35 P. M., and this addi- lonal rest before the break of day ends the 10 teams on their way again was expected to count somewhat in their favor. But one incident interfered with the going today. Fred Hartman, an Amer ican, now living at Le Paas, Man., was the laet man to pull up at Pembina tonight, having been delayed by a fight among his own dogs, in which one ani mal was killed. He cut his team down to four dogs and continued in the race. Association to Be Fully Manned. CHICAGO, Jan. 25.

Too Portland Hockey. Team Getting Lot of Undesirable Notice. BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. A week of unusual bustle in baseball circles has served to fill nearly all the Coast League first-line trenches, nm club which undoubtedly will b stronger this year is the Salt Lake out- tit, under the guidance of the new manager. Bernhard. Salt Lake has suffered from ineffi cient pitching the past two seasons. ine bees have packed a wealth of punch with such swatters as Brief, Ryan, Hannah and Quinlan in the bat ting order. This Spring Bernhard plans to start with a strong twirline corns. and if his pitchers prove as formidable as Bernhard expects, the Bees should figure from the start. Here is the staff of slabsters alreadv under Bernhard's wing: -Kignt-handers Klawltter. Hue-hen. Dougan, Dubuc, Hall, Kirmayer and Jones; southpaws, Leverenz, Hoff. Evans and Bliss. Dubuc is the well-known Detroit slow-ball artist. Walter McCredie doubts that Salt Lake will be able to sign him. as he has been under a $5000 or ouuu contract ror the past three or four years. During his big; leas-ue career Dubuc has salted away a goodly horde of shekels, and he may prefer retirement to the comedown of a minor league stipend. Manager Bernhard should start with at least three good southpaws in Leverenz, Hoff and Evans. Leverenz is the portsider who formerly twirled for the Angels. St. Louis had him for a season or more. Hoff is the south paw sold by Fielder Jones to Portland last year and recalled before the sale was consummated. In other departments than pitching me Jtsees will De strong. Hannah and Sheely, the latter of Spokane, will do the backstopping. Brief will hold over on first, Orr at short and Rath on third. With the purchase of Karl Crandall from Indianapolis three can didates are available for second base ana the utility berth Crandall, Gis lason, of Spokane, and Tom Downev. Crandall undoubtedly will land the regular job at the keystone. He is a .280 hitter in Class AA ball. Frank Gulgni, too, is said to belong to Salt Lake, but Frank, with all his clouting propensities, stands little chance to break Into this infield. The Bee outfielders are: Buddy rtyan. Tommy wuinian. Johnny Tobin, Jimmy Shlnn and Dick Bayless. Walter McCredie will take no trainer witn him to Honolulu; in fact, no trainer has been named for the Port land ball club. This will enable Mac to bundle 19 players aboard boat for the islands two catchers. Drobablt nine pitchers, four Infielders and four outfielders. Mack has decided to re ward Catcher O'Brien for faithful serv ice last Fall and will take him along to oo tne DacKstopplng witn Fisher. Marshall, the new receiver secured from St. Paul, will be-asked to report at Stockton. Friends of Perle Casey are boosting him ror another chance In the Coast League as an umpire. Perle gave good satisfaction when he held an indicator in the league before, and President Baum could make more friends at this end of the league by giving Perle an other chance. Los Angeles has purchased a young pitcher named Harrington from Den ver. Harrington's home is at Wake field, Mass. He won 11 out of 14 for Denver last year. George Stovall is much incensed at Roger Bresnahan, owner of the Toledo club, of the American Association Stovall says his release was promised him should he be able to land managerial position in the minors. Now Bresnahan wants $500 before he will let Stovall go Scot-free to Vernon. "Putting over a piker deal on me,' exclaimed Stovall excitedly to a Los Angeles newspaper man the other day. "Either I am worth $2000 or I am en titled to my release. The fact that Bresnahan bids me in at a paltry $500 shows that he Is merely trying to pick off some 'chicken feed,, to which he knows he is not entitled." H UCK SAWYER, the Los Angeles lines. "These people came out here to boy who shares with Nick Altrock the distinction of being the fun niest man in baseball, is nursing a full-sized dilemma. Sawyer, a former Angel infielder, has been doing comedy work for the Keystone company since October and the Keystone folk want him to desert baseball and stick to the movies. On the other hand. Sawyer Is wanted by the Washington Americans. With these two contracts In his pocket little wonder there is no joy in Sawyer's heart. "It s altogether different from base ball comedy," says Huck. "In a way it's easier; then :tf-ain it isn't. Out there on the coaching line, you haven't any thing to be funny with except your cap. Sut you do have room enougn to move around. That was what made the movies seem queer to me at first. You are coniinea to a place aDout as ois as a 10-cent piece right there in front of the camera. That darned camera never lets up on you. In baseball, you can stand around and wait for a funny hunch; but that picture camera is on your trail every second. She keeps right on clicking and she don't give you any chance to think. I have had to dodge pies: tney have run automobiles over me and made me fall down from roofs and put me through many and various stunts, but somehow I like it. I love baseball, but. oh, you movies!" Huck says in the first comedy in which he worked they ran a Ford car through a department store and then over Huck. He nearly sacrificed his fair young life. Then they decided the playnvas too long and cut bis part entirely. If Sawyer Is as good In the movies as he is on the coaching line he ought to stick to the movies for there will be more money in It in the long run USawyer really made a tremendous hit with his comedy last year tn the r.ast. One day he and Altrock pulled some stuff that was so funny that Vean Gregg, who was pitching for Boston against Washington, stopped to watch them. When he started working again he had lost the combination. Washing ton began to hammer him and he lost his game. In Chicago one afternoon the umpire ordered Nick and Huck off the coaching see a ball game; not to see you guys perform," growled the arbiter gruffly. Altrock held up his hands for silence and advanced to the gsandstand. "Did you come out here to see the ball game or to see Huck and me?" he yelled. Of course the crowd shouted: "To see you." Whereupon Nick made a deep bow to the umpire and he and Sawyer pro ceeded to pull off a fake fight in cele bration of the umpire's defeat. The Portland hockey management Is drawing a lot of undesirable publicity from its protest of Referee Ion follow ing the 6-2 walloping Seattle " gave the Sams in the local arena. As we get it. President Bryan is sore because Ion made decisions that hurt Portland's chances to win. -Umpires and referc-es who make decisions that hurt nobody are worth about 10 cents per battalion. m Piatt Adams, the high jumper, has been, professionalized for "capitalizing his athletic reputation." Adams must have accepted a job in a circus or signed a contract to demonstrate rubber heels. Bob Edgren, well known New York sporting editor, has been invited by the owners of Miss Minneapolis, the world's champion speedboat, to handle the craft in the gold cup race in the Twin Cities next year. Edgren . Is an enthusiastic and skilled driver of high-speed boats. With one of the Brockton hydroplanes he won the gold cup race at Lake George in 1914. A new rule of the association requires that one of the oc cupants of the boat be an amateuf. P A Harvard jiaduate would change the name of football to something more appropriate because "on the average the ball is kicked only once In 19.38 plays." Squash Is a ridiculous name, too. for the ball seldom squashes. Evidently Freddie Welsh did not have his personal referee In the "ring the n-her night when Ritchie Mitchell beat him. A Seattle newspaper carried a full column story a few days ago showing why Seattle should remain in the Northwestern Leas-ue. Somebody should also write a story in favor of the return of the horse cars. Seattle is movln ahead fast. CANARIES PLAY IIEKE TONIGHT Spokane Hockey Team to Be Attrac tion at Ice Rink. Lester Patrick and his Spokane Canary Birds will be the attractio against the Portland Uncle Sams in th Ice Palace at 8:30 o'clock tonight. To morrow night Seattle will meet Van couver at Vancouver, B. C. The Canaries have trounced the Ore gonians four times out of five starts, At present the Uncle Sams are at the bottom of the league race. Spokane has lost its last two games to the fast going Millionaires. The referee will be named today by President Frank Patrick.

A University of Chicago publication Is quoted as saying that if Minnesota haa approximately the same eleven back next year it would be only fair to play its entire schedule on a single afternoon. Washington, according to the sched ule, is to play the Reds at Cairo. Louis ville and Cincinnati. They should know each other's style if they came to meet in the world series. It might rob said series of a lot of its interest for some people. Speaking of those New Year's reso lutions but why continue? They say that insomniacs still read anything that comes to hand, in an ef fort to while away the lonesome hours. That must be the reason for the publi cation of this Winter baseball stuff. It is saidi ttiat the person who sees Annette Kellerrnann in her latest mov ing picture will never see any more of her. Mike Gibbons opines that he will stop Darcy.

But la Spring he is given the boot. Kid Haas, the sensational White Sox recruit, is not as ambitious as most ushers. He doesn t want Cobb s Job. He only aspires to fill Joe Jackson's shoes. Ice hockey is a fashionable game. It is especially interesting to surgeons. Jim Thorpe finally has demonstrated that he can play big league ball in the minors. Rough drafts- of a code of racing laws for tracks affiliated with both the Na tional and American Trotting Associa tions were accepted by the joint rules committee of the two governing organ izations. One of the principal new provisions is that the rules shall be mandatory and not subject to any al terations. O. W Burgess, star pole vaulter, may be lost to the Illinois track team. He is in a serious condition at his horns in Fairfeld, 111-, as a result of acci dentally shooting; himself. A man in Chicago demands that the municipal bells be rung throughout the city at 1 A.

It is said that Jaques Fournler is practicing Indoor batting at his Winter home in Tacoma. It is only timely, to observe that the Indoor cross-country race has not yet become popular.
