He did not take part in enough games to break into major-league records. Fincher won five and lost four games for Memphis before departing for the big show. He pitched 72 innings, allowed 49 hits, struck out 39 and walked 12. In 1915 "Finch" was with Little Rock, which finished at the bottom of an eight-club circuit. He won 18 and lost 20 there, finishing with a better percentage than his club. That season Battling Bill worked in 43 games, pitched 305 innings and faced 1165 batters.

He allowed 89 bases on balls, hit 23 batters and uncorked three wild pitches. the top of the league standings by trimming Hill Military Academy, 39 to 11, while the High School of Commerce was no match for the Lincoln High team. The Kailspli tters won, 33 ,to 8. In the first half of the Lincoln-Commerce affair the Railsplitters made the count 17 to 1. and in the second halt! they did not try to run up a score, al though they managed to secure 16, one given to then by Referee H. A. Goode, of Jefferson High. August Beich, cen ter .on the Commerce team, played his usual strong game the first half, and many times he started a series of passes, only to have them fumbled or the plays broken up by Captain Henry Ktevens, of th winners. The Columbia-Hill match was far more sensational . than the Lincoln Commerce game, especially the first half. The Cadets held the score down td 11 to & In the first, but by that time the collegians had secured their second wind, and from then on "they were off." A. strange part about the Columbia vic tory was the fact that but one field basket was thrown by the forwards until late in the second period, when Bertram Jacobberger went in for Flynn. The guarding of Johnny Murphy by Wilbur Haines was the bright feature of the game, but at that Johnny had considerable hard luck when he did get a. chance to shoot. Captain Mike Bloch for Columbia scored 13 points, while Captain Burke for the Hill Military Academy, scored 9 out of his team's 11. The lineups: H. M. X. (11) Columbia f3! Nelson .V ............ .

ACTORS ARE TEMPERAMENTAL; ASK WALTER MILLER, WRESTLER Sporting Editor Has Hard Time Getting to Theatrical Performer Who Is "Staying at Kenton" "Smell!" Wisconsin 2 3, Northwestern 21. MADISON. Wis.. Feb. 12.--Universlty of Wisconsin basketball team defeated Northwestern University team In a Western conference game here tonight. 23 to 21. BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. ACTORS are temperamental things, particularly the high-priced birds like Charley Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and Fete Buzukos. Yesterday we visited Walter Miller at a local theater. "I'm the sporting editor of The Ore- gonian," we said to the doortender. "I want to see Walter Miller, the famous wrestler-thesplan, who Is exhibiting his collection of trained cauliflower ears on this week's bllL" "Orders not to admit nobody," he re plied. "I'm sure he will admit me if you give him my name," I said, recollecting that we had attended different schools together In the early days. "Orders," he said, as he spat pleas antly. After much palavering we got by the grouch and began search for the star's dressing-room. "Where is Mr. Miller's private boudoir?" we asked a pretty titian gal sitting on a trunk eating a hunk of factory fudge and reading Ruskin's "Nature of the Gothic." "Over behind Abie's abattoir," she replied. Finally we were ushered Into a crack In the wall. The star was just taking his costume out of his vest pocket. "How's the dandy little boxing referee?" we said, recollecting the $44 we had lost on one of his decisions not many moons before. "Ah, there's your American slang again," he said. "I dote on it. It's so breezy and full of pep Is that the way you Americans say It? And I am pick ing it rapidly." "And you like the West?" "Ah. Diablo! Yes. It Is so full cf bustles, bustles, bustles all the time. And ah, the crowd is so appreciative. Hors D' Oovers. Even your iieipera back of the you call them footlights, fall for you." "What hours do you show your trained aural appendages?" "1:30, 2:30, 3:13, 4. 6:15, 5:26, 6:83, 7:16, 8:12, 9. 9:18, 9:30 and 10:10 and every hour after that." "We see your name in the papers quite often." "Ja. My good friend Harry Grayson speaks my same language and he is very good to me. Holy Blue!" "How long have you been In the United States?" "Ja. I came away from St. Paul a few months ago when mush dogs began crowding the "legit" out of the news papei.and theaters." "It is true, is it not, that they are considering the consolidation of Min neapolis and St. Paul under the one name 'Minnehaha'?" "Cross my lungs! My dear man! That would be sacrilegious. 'Minnie' would be for Minneapolis but my dear old St. Paul would get only the Alif There Is some more of your Yankee humor." "Don't you like it?" "Mauling Meteor! Yes! It Is almost as funny as John Viedhof wearing a wrist watch." "So this is positively your last Amer ican appeag-ance?" "Positively. I would gladly extend the tour but there are no contracts. No contracts. Think" of it! No con tracts! And me the power behind the throne. Saere smoke!" "And when do you sail?" "Tuesday on the Breakwater." "Is that a Iar?e boat?" Yes, seven stories, with a lake on the fifth floor one-quarter of a mile long, and motorboats. swans and geese clut tering up the surface." "Where are you staying now?" "At Kenton." "Do you like Kenton?" "Smell." "Well, we'll see you again. So long." "Quite long." WKat makes Fatimas comfortable? YOU'VE probably noticed that rather "oily heaviness" so com mon to many of even the most ex pensive cigarettes. That's-bound to exist, no matter how good the tobac cos, if the tobaccos are not blended just right to correct it. ! Of course, such cigarettes can never be comfortable. ' ' Fatimas, on the other hand, are comfortable. The milder tobaccos in their Turkish blend are in such perfect balance with the richer, fuller-flavored leaves as to entirely off set all of that "oily heaviness'' which makes so many other cigarettes un comfortable, r With your first package of Fatimas , you'll realize how genuinely comfort able a cigarette can be.

Mr. Bonillas Is now at Palm Beach, Fla. It is expected he will come to Washington this week to present his credentials at almost the same time Henry P. Fletcher, the American Am bassador to Mexico, is received by the Mexican government.

It was understood at that time that Mr. Bonillas would be chosen as his suc cessor, although Mr. Arredondo in sisted that he would return to his post.

Tract of 4SO Acres Acquired by Baldwin Sheep St Land Company by Use of Dummy Kntrymrn. Federal Judge Bean yesterday gave an oplinon canceling patents to three claims in Crook County obtained by the Baldwin Sheep & Land Company under the timber and stone act; claims that were apparently" received through fraud by the use of dummy entrymen.

The old Frazier & McLean stable building, 'which has been housing horses on the southeast corner of Fifth and Taylor streets for 33 years, will be torn down in less than a month to make way for a modern structure which will probably be a swimming pavilion or a garage. Ellis McLean. one of the owners of the property, said last night that he and his partner, Charles R. Frazier, had decided to raze the structure in dependent of any pressure on the part of the city health and building author ities, which have several times waged campaigns to have the old frame build ing condemned. On several occasions during the past few years suits have been started to condemn the building on the grounds that it violates health and sanitation regulations and that the building is dangerous on account of its age. Each time, however, the suit has failed be cause of some defect in the ordinance affecting the manner of condemnation. Mr. Frazier left last night ror Cali fornia to investigate severc.1 natato riums with the idea of incorporating the latest Ideas in Portland. The pres ent plans, which are in tentative state only, suggest a one-story brick build ing to cost about $70,000 and contain ing a tank 60 by 90 feet 1- dimensions. Mr. McLean said last night that they had not yet decided wh to build. MACLEOD HAS BAD S PROPENSITY FOR WROG-DOIC LAID TO CHEAP LITERATURE.
