CHAMPIONS TO MEET SOON .McLean and lamr to Compete for World's Title at Saranac Lake, Y., February 7 and 8.. Wood Claims to Hold Crown. In these arctic days throughout the East the skaters have a great oppor tunity, meaning those who make monpjr out of the sport. The Ire skat ing game has had a great revival of lata and champion. hip matches are all the rage now. Bobby McLean, of Chi cago, has laid claim to the title wnicn has brought down a storm or chal lenges upon him. So many claim the till' and things look so good that liobhy haa engaged Nate Lewis, the Chicago fight manager, to look after the business end of the skating. An effort was made the other day to match alcLraQ with Morris Wood, of New Tork. on of the claimants of the crown. One Ed Cole, who conducts a big outdoor rink at th home of the extinct Federals at Washington Tark. Brooklyn, thought it opportune to ar range the match. He had an agreement with Nate Lewis. McLean's manager, to race, and then approached Wood. Ther he struck a snag. Wood de manded a guarantee of 3in for him self. n matter what th result of the race was. and also spoke about a CO per cent purse to go to the skaters. That kuled the match right there. It has been stm time sine outdoor skat ing race have been held In Brooklyn and the match would be a pure gamble now. However. It is good, interesting apart, and no doubt the people would turn out to see such an event In that city, but Cole couldn t see his way clear to guarantee any money. So un less Wood changes his mind tha thing is off aa far as he Is concerned. Th' ar th days af guarsntees.

Canada Is Home of World's Greatest Buffalo Herd. aflaat Reaer.e Haa Mar 1 Baa Suae Farmer lrda at Plalaa. BT TETER P. CAR VET. . Editor National Sports Syndicate- THE largest he world la now i herd of buffalo in the owned by Canada. They form a picturesque group as they roam over the new national re serve set apart for' them near Waln wrlght. a city that haa sprung up 125 miles east of Edmonton. Alberta. Canadian recognised the need of ac tion If th bison were to b preserved, and before American realised it they had purchased th entire herd of oo from Michael Tablo. of Montana, who had protected tbem on his ranch near Ravalli. Th history of this herd, now tha largest In th world, dates back to ltTJ. when a Pend O Kettle Indian cap tured four little bison. calves two bulls and two heifers by cutting them out of a stampeded herd on the Flathead Reservation in Montana. The Indians In question gave them to tha Mission of St. Ignatius, where they were kept aa pets and became as do mesticated as ordinary cattle. When tha heifers were four years old each had a calf. From that time on they gradually Increaaed In number, until. In 1884. there were 13 head. and. finding the care of them too great a tax. the Mission decided to sell them. Ten head were bought for I2."'0 apiece by Tablo, who was shrewd enough to see that specimens of hat was even then al most an extinct animal would eventu ally become very valuable. The herd Increased under his super vision and in a few years It became possible to sell specimens at high prices. Some Idea of the average rate of Increase may be deduced from the observed fact that half the cows gave birth to calves every year, while twin calves are not uncommon. As a rule th bison calf is a very hardy creature. In 1306 Hon. Frank Oliver, then Canadian Minister of the Interior, ob tained for the Dominion government an option on the 6i head, and they were bought for $200,000. The "roundup" lasted two months and was carried out by 75 cowboys and was accomplished with a loss of less than 1 per cent. To day the herd numbers 2077. I Although kept within the boundaries of the reserve, the bison can hardly be said to be In confinement. Their stamp ing ground covers an area of 107.000 acres lbi square miles, it is z miles In an air line the longest way across. A wire fence eight feet high and 73 miles long Incloses It. When the fence wan completed it was found that 12 wild deer and one elk bad been fenced in. Eighteen small lakes and a number of streams are within the park. Tralrie chickens, ducks and other game find a resting place here undisturbed by the hunter. The park Is truly a buffalo paradise. The grounds bear every evidence that In other days they have been a favorite haunt of the lords of the plains. Every where are outlines of old buffalo trails and wallows. Aroused by the loss of these buffalo. the United States has established a Na tlonal bison range in the Flathead Indian Reservation In Montana, com prising 12.800 acres, near the towns of Ravalli and Dixon, and It was stocked by the American Bison Society.

Lon Jourdet, coach of the University of Pennsylvania basketball team. Is opposed to the new rule of the game whereby the ends of the court are ex tended to form a curved space beyond the baskets at each end of the floor. Jourdet's opposition was voiced yester day in the Pennsylvanian of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania and sums up the arguments made against the rule by players and officials alike since It was first promulgated. The rule Is designed to give addi tional leeway under the basket, thereby enabling a fast forward to go down the floor and get a better chance to shoot. It also enables a player to stand behind the basket and shoot a goal. Jourdet asserts that the rule will not work satisfactorily. "Personally I am much opposed to the new rule." he said, "and I believe that the majority of coaches agree with me. It is a freak rule. It has some advan tages, such as speeding up the game, but there are several disadvantages to offset this. "In the rules interpretation meeting, which was held recently In New York, the question of the extension when baskets were on a wall was brought up. Of course in such a case the extension cannot be mad, but the backboard will be in bounds. None of the teams in the Intercollegiate League play on courts where the basket is on the wall, so that this condition will not arise in league games. "In the matter of a 'held ball' in the two-foot zone, the ball is to be given to a defensive player out of bounds for the throw-in. It was pointed out that the attacking team had had its chance to score and that under the conditions it was unfair to give this team a sec ond advantage of a jump under the bas ket." C1P LEWIS HAS STARS MANY PROFESSIONAL BAtLPLAY- EtlS AMON' OSOLDIERS. Fast Games la Pro peer Whea Divl- alonal Team Meeta League Club at Cantonmeat. TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 4. (Special.) Of the more than 20.000 men at Camp Lewis. 95 per cent are baseball fans and submerged in the different units are stars of the professional game. With such an outlook, fast ball is seen In the offing. Great attention will be paid to the divisional team which will meet clubs of the Pacific Coast Inter national League weekly at the canton ment. Leonard Wattelet, former Victoria Bees' manager, and Lieutenant "Death Valley" Jim Scott. ex-White Sox heaver, undoubtedly will be the leaders of the game. They will see to it also that regimental teams will have their train ing also and baseball will be brought to every man at camp. Here are some of the boys now In khaki, who will answer the call: "Red" Oldha, San Francisco pitcher; Louie Guisto, Cleveland first baseman; Char ley Mullen.

King is another outfielder and "Swede" Jacobson. big California blonde, is an other hurler scheduled to work, tie appeared with the Vernon club and made a trip into independent ball. Cor poral Heine is another leaguer who Is expected to show form. DRAFT BOARD PETITIONED John Day Citizens Object to Only Doctor Going to War. OREGON CITY. Or, Feb. 4. (Spe cial.) If the people of the John Day country In Grant County need Dr. Ray mond Walker more than the boy In the trenches need him. he may possibly be allowed deferred classification. Approximately 150 cltixsna of John Day have sent a petition to the local board of Clackamas County, asking that Dr. Walker be given deferred classification. The petition sets forth that the good doctor tends to the phys ical needs of the John Day community, covering territory of approximately SO by 100 miles. More specifically, the petitioners allege, if Dr. Walker is called In Class 1. where he was placed by the Clackamas County board, the nearest doctor will be 70 miles to the south, 35 miles to the north or to the west, and 14 miles to the east. The prayer concludes with this statement: "This is an important producing country, both in agriculture and min- eral products, and is entitled to protec tion." w . SAMMIES" IN BAD REPUTE General Foltx Is Commended for Frowning on Appellation. TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 4. (Special.) About 30 letters have been received at divisional headquarters. Camp Lewis, complimenting Brigadier-General Fred erlck S. Foltz, commanding the 91s Division, on his suggestion that the use of the word Sammies be discon tlnued In referring to American sol diers. The General did not commit himself, but thinks the word "Yanks' is very acceptable. One letter from Pasadena, Cal., calls attention to the fact that in West Point slang "Sammy" means "rao lasses." This originated when General Sammy Mills ordered the use of the thick, black molasses in the Army ra tion. The general trend of most of the let ters is that the word "Sammy" sounds effeminate, and one writer says to call them plain Americans, and nothing else. UTILITIES .REPORT PROFIT Centralia Light and Water Plants Show Good Gains. CENTRALIA, Wash, Feb. 4. (Spe clal.) Both the municipally owned light and water plants of Centralia made substantial profits in 1917, ac cording to the annual report of City Clerk. Mabel Lee, just compiled. The net profits of the light department were J12.02S.36.

The warrant Indebtedness of the city was reduced 35732.25 during the year. HISTORIC HOUSES ARE USED Soldiers of Second 'Washington Quartered in Xapoleon's Barracks CENTRALIA, Wash, Feb. 4. (Spe cial.)

FAMOUS PAIRS BREAK UP Old Star Combinations Separated by War Ouimct - Guilford Team May Bo Thing of Past Due to Enlistment. Teaminsr ud of prominent golfers In exhibition matches for patriotic causes will probably take the place of tourna ments even more completely this year than was the case last Summer. They are bound to be well patronized, espe cially If the quality of the performers is high. I.nnltine forward, the chances are that some, of the old star combinations will not be seen together so orten. w un Francis Ouimet serving his country, it doesn't look as If the Woodland golfer would have much time for tne nnas rame. Furthermore, there is no telling where he will be a few months hence, as rumor has it he may shortly start for France. Then there is his partner. Jesse tuii ford, who has been trying to get into the Aviation corps. e nas airpa-u? been up in the air a few times and likes the game. This makes it look as though the Ouimet-Guilford. combine may be a thing of the past. Pair Were Successful. Their appearances last season marked continuous period of success, and right now it does. not seem as if there would be any other pair in the Boston section to take their place. Around New York, however, the case is different. Jerome Travers and os wald Kirkby will be available. The first-named played several times last Fall, and so did Kirkby. Both recently said they would be willing to do what thev could. Other likely combinations might easily be formed even though a number of the leading amateurs are a-way. .A novelty in this respect would be a Junior team, consisting, say, of A. L. Walker. Jr.. and Richard A. Haight. In the West, Charles (Chick) .fcvans, who really started the Red Cross ex hibition golf matches in this country, will continue to offer his services and he is certain to be in- demand. He had New Sawyer for a teammate several imes last year, and they proved to be a formidable combination. Amateur Are Mentioned. Thus far only possible amateur pairs have been mentioned, though the pro fessionals are likely to do their share. Jim Barnes, the Whitemarsh man, who won the Western open title last Sum mer, is keen for the exhibition game. He did considerable in that line in 1917 and hopes to do more. Mike Brady was willing contributor, as was Louis Tellier. Hereabouts great teams could be made up. Gil Nicholls and Alec Smith t one time were regarded as well nigh invincible, though they did meet with a setback at Wykagyl at the hands of Walter Hagen and Barnes. Were Bill Macfarlane and George Fotheringham to Join forces they would be well worth watching, and there are others equally as good. What is needed In future is more system, but after last season's experi- ences this is likely to be brought about. These exhibitions will serve to inject interest and variety Into country club life, which in the absence of tourna ments is apt to lapse into a" sort of a rut. It is seldom that golf professionals spend their time in other ways than either playing or teaching the game, for those with berths in the Northern clubs In the Summer season there are the usual tournaments and most of them migrate to the South with the cold we'ather. Now word comes that Jim Donaldson, who will be at Norwood Golf Club beginning April 1, and Jock Hutchison, winner of the patriotic open event at Whitemarsh Valley last year, have taken up English billiards for rec reation. George O. Simpson, of the Oak Park Country Club, is another who has forsaken the links for billiards. ' Golfers throughout the country will I - OLD SAILOR AND THE RECRUIT ..

Judge Edwin Scofleld, of Stamford, died after a short illness, as was the case with Rev. William Steele, of New Tork. Judge Scofleld was one of the visitors at the Apawamis Club for the seniors' tournament last season, although he did not compete. Rev. Mr. Steele recently celebrated his 9 2d birthday, and he al ways attributed his health largely to the fact that he played golf regularly. He spent the morning of his 90th birth day playing a full round on the Van Cortland Park links. There Is some talk now of a manu facturer turning out steel-cored golf balls, the idea being that the steel core would give an absolute center. This Is one of the hardest problems in the making of balls, and the ultimate result toward which manufacturers are strain ing every nerve. No matter how resili ent a core is, if it is not surely centered the ball loses Its value, for it will neither fly nor putt true. . The Shawnee Country Club, of New Tork, is open for a new professional and caddie master this season. Alfred Elphlck, who was the "pro" there for two years, has signed with the Alle gheny Country Club, taking the berth vacated by Eddie Towne, who has en listed. The Shawnee season will begin on May 29 and continue until some time In November. ' BAR ASSOCIATION ELECTS Lewis County Lawyers Form AVar Savings Stamp Society. CHEHALIS, "Wash., Feb. 4. (Spe cial.)
