IS CLOSER Jockey Club Gives Up Trying to , Keep Track Going. EL PASO, Jan. 29. (Special.) After 45 days of racing and fighting against srreat odds, losing tens of thousands of dollars in an attempt to keep the sport going on across the Rio Grande from El Paso, the management of the Jockey Club Juarez has "turned the box over" and announced that the last deal had been made at this Mexican track for the present season. First there wa the fight against Villa to overcome and then bad weather, but in spite of all this racing was continued six days a- week until at became evident that there were not enough horses to carry on a continuous meeting of 100 days, and the racing was cut down last week to three days a week. It was thought that the meeting might be stretched out until time to travel toward the Northern tracks, but yesterday all attempts to carry on trhe sport ceased, and announcement was made that the track was closed lor the season. a Tono Wins Two Victories. CEKTRALIA. Wash.. Jan. 29. (Spe cial.)

A. five by a score of 28 to 27. while yes terday afternoon at Lacey the St. Martin's College five was taken into camp by a score of 26 to 24.

STAR BASKETBALL PLAYER v , : if Su. - c $ L i 1 f K - 'j t X KANE DEFENDS GAME Vernon Player Says Tigers Were Beaten Fairly. ROXY MIDDLETON NERVOUS Oakland Outfielder Worries as Del Howard Signs Fast Gardeners. Bees Are Strengthening Many "Bushers" Seek Places. Partly in the defense of Frank Dil lon and the players on the Los Angeles club, but mainly in defense of the good name of baseball, Johnny K ne, last season with the Angels, brands as brazenly false the charges by Eddie Maier that the Seraphs laid down to Oakland in 19)2 to prevent Vernon from winning the pennant. Kane was one of the Vernon nlavers who made a try for the flag that year under the guidance of the late' Hap Hogan. "We put up a great fight," said Kane to a Los Angeles news paperman, "but were nosed out like clubs are every season. The Oakland pitchers were going well and it was argely because of this fact that Bud Sharpe's men won. It is true that they also had the breaks, which is a feature of every pennant winner. We were beaten fair ly and knew It. 'Recklessly to charge managers or their men with crooked work on the ball field is worse than serious." Odd feature of the Maier controversy is that both managers who fought so hard for the 1912 flag are now dead. Bud Sharpe managed the Oaks and died two years later on George Stal lings' farm in Georgia. It is said that he suffered from lung trouble. Happy Hogan's death shocked the Coast League two years ago. President Frank S. Murphy, of the Salt Lake club, has received an inter esting letter from Tommy Quinlan, Saint centerf ielder, says the Salt Lake Tribune. Tommy pronounces himself in fine fettle, and his letter glows with enthusiasm about a good season this year. Quinlan recommended a young infielder, Joe Murphy by name, who was with Utica and Toronto last season and. acording to Quinlan, he is a sure-enough comer. "Roxy" Mlddleton is beginning to get nervous. From his home in Flat Rock. Ill;, the Oaks' left fielder has written Del Howard: "What the deuce are you going to do with all them outfielders? Where do you think old Flat Rock is going to play?" Howard is said to have grinned per ceptibly when he'got the letter. "Mid dleton is a dandy ballplayer," declared the Oakland .boss through the Oakland Tribune, "but he will have to hustle if he wants to hold his job. I am out to have a winning club, and the new comers will have every bit as good a chance as the holdovers. The men who show the most ability will win the Jobs." Manager Bill Bernhard of the Bees has received an application for a Job from a six-foot-four youngster at Price, Utah. He is a pitcher by voca tlon and his name is E. O. Kersten. He pitched two games on succeeding days last Summer for a "bush" aggrega tion against the Kansas City Red Sox and both were sensational. The Kansas City Red Sox is the semi-professional team which passed through Portland last Summer on tour and took Fred McKeen, local first baseman, with them for the remainder of the Journey. Manager Richard Laughing Water Williams, of the champion Spokane Northwestern League team, will ar range exhibition games the Beavers will play upon returning to Stockton from Honolulu. Nick's club will most likely condition there as most of them reside in the vicinity and will go in a bunch to open the Northwestern League season. At least two games will be played between Portland and Spokane at Stockton. . "Pop" Artlet. San Francisco "bush' pitcher who twirled some remarkable ball for the Richmond. CaL. team last season, and spurned offers from Billy Sullivan, or uetroit, and Scout Thomas, of the Athletics, is destined to wear an Oakland uniform this season. Art lett has been signed by the Oaks, who purchased his release from the Van couver Northwestern League club, to which organization he refused to re port in 1916 because of salary disagree ment. m Russell Thompson, first Backer of the freshmen nine of the University of California, will have a trial with the Commuters. Thompson comes highly recommended by Carl Zamlock, who coached the Blue and Gold. If conditions are such the ' coming baseball season that Manager Lee Fohl, of the Cleveland American League club, can work Stanley Coveleskie and Jim Bagby in their regular turn and 'Guy Morten springs a "come-back," Cleve land wjll have a trio of twirlers that will rank with any "big three" in the country.

Thompson goes to the Omaha. Neb, club and Stellbauer to Houston, Tex. BOl'D OF OAKX.AXD STRONG Portland lias Beaten Twirler Seven Times and Lost Only 3 Games. Boyd, of Oakland, is one of the few pitchers who have oeen able to hold their Jobs through two years in the Coast League, even though the records show that they have lost more than they have won against -every club in the league in those two years. Winnipeg four games and losing six against Ver non in two years is the nearest that Boyd has come to getting an even break with any club. Portland has beaten him seven times in two years and lost only three games San Francisco has won six and lost two against Boyd; Salt Lake has won five and lost three, and Los Angeles has won four and lost two. Boyd's record against each club ftfr two years follows: vs. uos Anegels, Boyd won on a, lost one; vs. Portland, won two, lost two; vs. Salt Lake, won none, lost one; vs. San Ffancisco, won one, lost none; vs. Vernon, won two, lost one. 1916 Vs.

EX-CHAMP TO BE MANAGER Portland Ring Adept to Be Pitted Against Canadian. Pugilist Whom Fitzsimmons Backs as Coming Champion. BY HARRT M. GRATSON. Lowe Simms left for New Tork last night, where he will meet Roddy Mc Donald, Canadian middleweight, who is tipped off by "Lanky Bob" Fitzsim mons as the coming middleweight champion of the world. You can't guess who sent Simms a ticket as long as your arm which will take him over the southern route to New York. No one else but "Phila delphia Jack" O'Brien, once the clever est of all big fellows. O'Brien will as sume the Portland man's management. Mike Butler and Bob McAllister, San Francisco light-heavyweight, are the fellows responsible for Simms' get ting such an excellent chance to show his wares in the big city that falls for anything. Mike Butler is a personal friend of Jack O'Brien, and it is known that McAllister also put in a boost for Simms. According to Butler and Simms, the popular light-heavyweight is assured of three fights in Gotham. Mcvister is going like a house afire there. Otherboxers well known in Portland v4io are now in or around the big city are: Joe Bonds, Jack Root, Ralph Gruman, Billy Weeks and Romeo Hagen. Simms is Just out of a Portland hos pital, where he underwent a minor operation. He is carrying a cane but hopes to. be able to start active train ing as soon as he hits New York. ' Nlcol Simpson, English middleweight, arrived in Portland yesterday after noon, coming by boat from San Fran cisco. He meets Valley Tramb'tas in the semi-windup of the show which takes- place at the Rose City Athletic Club February 6, featuring Billy Mas cott and Eddie Campl in the main event. . Simpson says he weighs 153 pounds and halls from Newcastle on Tyne, England. He boxed in Australia and around Pittsburg, before going to San Francisco, where he got by fine for a few months. The Englishman's first bout In this country was -with George ' Chip in Pittsburg. He has fought Chip three times, twice over the 10-round route and over the 15-round Journey the other time. These contests took place in Pittsburg, Greensbury and Johns town, Penn. Each got one newspaper decision while the other battle was de clared a draw. The latest warrior to invade Port land beat Pat Bradley in 20 rounds in Australia and "Red" Watson of San Francisco was taken down the line in seven rounds. Watson was disqualified, but Simpson has clippings showing that he was winning all the way. Barney Goldstein, of San Francisco, is looking after Simpson in Portland. Valley Trambltas will have to step some to hold this bird even. Chet feff. Seattle lightweight, and Dan Salt, of the Austin & Salt School of Physical Culture of the Sound City, are due in Portland early tomorrow morn ing. Neff will box Frankle Sullivan as one of the star bouts which will serve as preliminaries to the Eddie O'Connell-John Viedhof wrestling match at the Rose City Athletic Club Friday nigrt. Jimmy Duffy. clever Oakland featherweight, meets Joe Gorman in another event, while Freddie Laue and Jimmy Moscow will provide a third. Both Viedhof and O'Conneil, rival grapplers, are working har and each is confident of victory. Viedhof is re puted as a strong man and it is said he can lift a "ton or so" with his little finger. This is not worrying Eddie, however, who has pitted his wrestling skill against strong fellows innumer able times and almost invariably he has been returned the winner. They are tangling for a $500 purse. FANNING SIGNS WITH DALLAS Ex-Seal Pitcher to Have Lot ot For mer Coasters as Company. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 29. (Spe cial.)

NEW YORK, Jan. 29. President Tener. of the National League, in a statement here tonight in reply to com plaints of National League players that their salaries had been cut, declared a salary adjustment was absolutely necessary. "Trie game must be put on a basis where the men who have money in the clubs can expect a reasonable profit on their investment." he said. "The best proof that salaries are too high is that despite the fact that we had a record attendance few clubs made money.- The same conditions, 1 am told, existed in the American League, which also had its record attendance. "The players should be more reason able. Salaries were artificially In flated dtsring the existence of the Fed- 'DONALD Mir fj- ;; I Washington St. at eral League, and players' by holding a strike club over their clubs forced them to pay salaries out ' all pro portion to what their services were worth or what the cluba could afford to pay.
