The Railsplitters did not put up
good game during the first half, the
players said, because they were with

Kalp Knudsen, out of the game because
of a bad ankle. At any rate. Coach
Homer Jamison's proteges shot baskets
at will, and when the period ended the
count stood 22 to S. "Spec" Burke, of
the Jeffersonians, shot six field bas
kets.
In the second period, however. Cap
tain Henry Stevens, of the "West Siders,
went to guarding Burke, and only two
points were scored by "Spec" during
the remainder of hte game. He was
eliminated from further competition
late in the second canto when he was
automatically disqualified for making
four personal fouls. Conrad took his
place.
Myron Wilsey featured for the Rail
splitters, getting 11 points, while Hugh
Clerin was good for six. Coach Stanley
Borleske put Clerin at center and
Nathan Lakefish at forward to' start

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26. (Special.)
Big Six Steen Is to bo a bona fide
member of the San Francisco club dur

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

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

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.

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.

to Be in Fine Condition.
BAKER. Or, Jan. 25. (Special.)

County, and to nearly 30 below in Baker
County, the light snow made feeding
conditions ideal, so that cattle, horses
and sheep fared well. Even the horses
that are still on the range are doing -well.
No livestock losses have been re
ported all Winter, and stockmen ex
pect to have many head, satisfactory
grazing conditions and good prices this
year.
