Hugo Berdck, Pirate Chieftain. Is Only Pilot In National Who Is Eypeclallj Successful With Method In 1917. Under the Hoggins administration the New York Yankees are not likely to use the squeeze play aa frequently as they did when their attack was direct ed by "Wild Bill' Donovan. Miller Hugr- plns Is a alight believer In the squeeze a means of scorfng. employing it six times last year and winning two games. Hugo Bezdek. the Pirate chieftain. likes the squeeso and his men worked It successfully eight times durlns; the year. When Jimmy Callahan waa the Pirate manager Pittsburg got. away with this play twice. v Pat Moran's Phillies worked the squeeze on their opponents twice, and so did Christy Mathewson's Cincinnati Reds. George Stalling Boston Braves used the play once, but the Brooklyn Dodgers under Wllbert RobinHon, the Giants under John McGraw and the Chicago Cubs under Fred Mitchell had no use for this scheme as a means of acquiring runs and never once tried it. The only double squeeze of the year In the National League was worked by the Phillies at New York in the sixth Inning on April 27, and became a double, squeeze because Jeff Teareau tumbled to the ground in picking up George Whitted's bunt. Banchroft had scored by the time the ball reached the New ork pitcher, and Stock followed J navy home when he saw -jesreau on the turf a wild throw from a sitting poxture making Milton's voyage to the plate easier. Huggins Cardinals were the only National League team to win games with the squeeze, gaining a victory over the Pirates on July 4 and one over the Reds on September 9. On the first- named date Gonzales squeezed Cruise In from third, and on the last-named date Meadows did the bunting and Gonzales the running. The opposing batteries were Jacobs and Schmidt and Toney and Wlngo. Bill Donovan s Yankees worked the are from the first, second and third grades and range from 4 to 8 years of age.

If the baseball weather aignals hung out by President Davey. who beaded the teams destinies last sea son, are correct. L'p to date there has been no activity or any sign of Butte entering Into a new- or old circuit. As far as ran be learned In the Montana mining metrop olis It would coat the Butte club in the uelgbborhood of 110.000 to put a team In the field, even this amount being In fact a litle too low a figure. President Davey stated a short time ago that his team was U0U or there abouts In the "hole." It would cost at least I'K0. If not more, to put the Butte park In shape for another sea son, as the plant had been sadly de molished by football games and soldier reviews during the Fall.

It's none other than Irve C. Hig glnbotham. former Beaver pitcher, who helped Portland win a pennant one year all by himself and later went the release route. Higglnbotham at present is located at Butte, Neb., and the letterhead on the stationery which "Hig" used in writing for a Job reads as follows: IRVE C. HIGOLVBOTBAM. Proprietor. Butte Pantorlum. Butte. Nebraska. Cleaning. Dyeing and Pressing. Which to Portland fans is a new line of venture for the former Portland twtrler. Higginbotham, after his re lease by the Portland management. Joined the Des Moines club in the Western League and later retired to private life. Judge McCredie always had the highest regards for Higgin botham as a pitcher, but the erratic notions and frenzied finance ideas of Higginbotham had the judge up in the air most of the time "Hig" was a mem ber of the Portland team. "I would like very much to get on as a member of your club, Jiiggin bothara wrote McCredie. "I stayed out of the game last season and my arm is In wonderful shape. I never felt better.

The fact that the East faces a temporary meat shortage because of transportation dif ficulties was disclosed by the food ad ministration tonight by instructions sent to packers not to increase their prices above a normal margin of cost and to distribute their available sup plies fairly among their customers. Wholesalers, ana retailers received virtually the same instructions. The Northwest Athletic Club yester day announced four of the five bouts which will i.-ake up Its boxing pro gramme to be staged at the Eleventh- street playhouse Wednesday night, Feb ruary 6. Muff Bronson and Frankle Farren will top the card In a six-round bout for the Pacific Coast lightweight title. Farren claims this title and Bronson is confident of his ability to win trom the Californian who knocked Alex Tram- bitas out in two rounds. Alex TrambUas seemed to have an unobstructed path towards the light weight title until he ran amuck of Frankle Farren's right-hand wallop in the second round of their encounter which sent Trambitas into the land, of Nod. Bronaoaa to Show Mettle. Muff Bronson and his admirers claim that Trambitas caught Muff In one of his off-nights and that he will prove he is a better fighter than Trambitas by winning decisively from Farren w'hen they clash at the Northwest Club smoker. Both Farren and Bronson are the same type of battlers. Both are ag gressive and carry a sleep-producing punch in either hand. Bronson is in good condition and Farren started In to work yesterday. Jimmy Duffy, who easily won a deel slon from Frankle Tucker at the last smoker, will tangle with Frankie Sul livan in the semi-windup. Sullivan s admirers claim Duffy will not be able to step away from Sullivan like he did in his bout with Tucker. Sullivan is an aggressive sort of miller and will make Duffy step lively during tneir six round encounter. Joe Benjamin Back Asafn. Joe Benjamin will appear In a Port land ring for the first time since Joe Rivers hung one on him In the first round of their bout last December. Ben Jamin was beating all-comers until he accidentally ran into a wickea rigni hand smash from Rivers before he had a chance to put his hands up. Benjamin will clash with Jack Labell, of Minneapolis, who has been display ing his talents In Seattle, where he has knocked out two of the Sound City's asDiring lightweights. Labell wants to meet the winner of the Bronson-Farren bout : nd claims this is his only reason for accepting other than a main event. "1 11 take fight with anyone you may select as long ae you promise me a chance with the winner of the Bronson-Farren bout." wrote Labell, "and I don't want the match unless I knock Benjamin out before the end of our fight" Billy Williams, Portland, and Lonnie Mcintosh. Seattle, are scheduled for six-round battle at 138 pounds. Will lams has not made his appearance In a Portland ring for a couple of months and has been resting up until now he claims to be In perfect physical trim and able to meet anyone at : 8 weight. Mcintosh Is one of the best men of his weight boxing around Seattle and al ways gives the fans a run for their money. The curtain-raiser has not been ar ranged yet.

Anton Dubost, president of the Sen ate, presided. M. Malvy was brought into the cham ber amid an impressive silence. Thirty-two Senators did not reply to the rollcall, but M. Dubost announced that some of the absentees had writ ten him excuses for non-attendance. After the rollcall Public Prosecutor Merillon read a long list of accusations against M. Malvy. M. Mention's charges began with tho ' reading of the Senate sitting of July 21, containing a speech by M. Clemen ceau attacking M. Malvy, and M. Malvy's reply: the report of the Cham ber sitting of October 4, when Leon Daudet's letter to President Poincare accusing M.
