The calling of Grover Cleveland Alexander, premier pitcher of the National League, into he Army, as reported today from nis ome In St. Paul. Neb, will coat Charles H. Weeghraan. president of the Chicago Nationals. Jio.ooo. eeghman made his statement after being Informed that Alexander had been drafted. News of Alexander's loss was a shock Wreghman. who purchased the pitching star and his battery mate, etcher William KUllfer. from the Philadelphia club for a price reported to be In excess of t.000. It waa one the blgaeat baseball deals In the history of the game. Weeghaaaa, Registers Sarwrlae.

"That certainly Is a wallop, a seri ous shock for the Chicago clue. v eeghman said after the dispatch was gain read to him. "It means that we hall lose $50,000. There was a stlpu latlon In the deal with the Philadel phia club that if either Alexander or illlfer was called Into the Army. 30 aya before the opening of the season deal could be called off. That time, of course, haa passed. While we are soiry to lose him. peclally at this time, we are glad to help the Government In any way and of course will do nothing to obtain his release. Twlrler Richer by SSOOO. Weeghman admitted for the first time today that Alexander had ' been paid a fiOOO bonus for Joining the club this season.

Alexander Is the first baseball star of maanttude to be called to the col ore. Experts are of the opinion that his loss will materially weaken the pennant rhanres of the Chicago club in the National League race. Seattle Wants Alexander.

W. Banks, John G. Ethcridge and 31. R. Klepper Dance Enjoyed. BT LEONE CASS BAER. It takes something like a big Mult' nomah Amateur Athletic Club exhlbi tion right in our own little bailiwick to bring to our notice that the serious minded and the look-before-you-leap men in affairs administrative, in edu cation and in religion, are coming to gether almost rapidly In a fine, new regard for the permission and even encouragement of every form of ath letics. The audience last night that packed the balcony and filled a four-row-deep set of seats on four sides of the big Auditorium, to watch our little boys and big boys and our little girls and our big girls in their exhibition of athletic and competitive sports evl denced a new attitude toward the occasion. The war has hastened this new adjustment of ideas, although it has been steadily on its way for years. In the audience were a few old-timers. who spoke of the first glimmering no tions they had held that some pastimes might be made useful as well as play ful. The exhibition was a solution, an an imated colorful solution of the great mortal mystery some of us puzzle over, of how to be happy though decent, how to be cheerful though good, and how to keep healthy and wise at the same time. The manly art or risticuirs is admittedly an asset, a splendid body. well trained, is more to be desired than great riches, and disease, discontent. physical frailty. and melancholy thoughts are rather manifestations of Ignorance and stupidity, rather than signs of spirituality or a visitation from the Lord. Service Flag Brings Cheers. All of which came home with im- pressiveness to us last night when the huge service flag of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club was flung across our sight, and. thick sprinkled, we saw the stars that bear mute witness to the 635 splendid athletic young men who have gono to war, and among them the five golden stars, witness of the five who have made the supreme sacrifice. The religion of athletics is practised beautifully by the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club. We knew ft for a fact as we watched the serious seniors and the Juniors in their natty B. V. D's.. and the pretty ladies in their silk stockings and smart little uniforms posing and pirouetting, leaping, bend ing, twisting and getting every muscle and joint in their several dozen bodies in action. Even the tiniest little tad girl and the tiniest tad boy seemed to know all about the marvels of their legs and arms and went into the dances and leaping as individual expressions. Col lectively it was a tremendous success. Every season this big athletic or ganization, the Multnomah Club, earnestly endeavors to go Itself one better than the season preceding In Its annual entertainment. This year it was early decided to hold the events in the auditorium because the gymnasiu could not hold all the folk who wanted to see. Decorations Wla Comment. The colorful decorations gave gal; atmosphere. From the ceiling of the green forest, which enclosed the stage, swung a huge, brilliantly lighted Winged in the cluo colors of red and white. In the dome of the audi torium four big Red Cross insignia gleamed, and all about the enclosing walls, green wreathed, -were decora tive patriotic emblems. The big audi ence was in high good humor and as each successive and successful even In the noteworthy exhibition was given, the applause rang out reverberating and sustained. The programme opened with an over ture, beautifully played by the Mult nomah Athletic Club Orchestra, Thi was followed by the entry of the varl ous classes, each of which received Its ovation. The Junior boys class outdid eve the dreams of Director O. C. Mauthe, who by the way. deserves a column of encomiums all to himself for the splen did strategic art and executive ability he has evidenced in the training of th young athletes. To be an athlete one self, is one thing, to teach a flock of others to be athletes is quite another. Mr. Mauthe Is a teacher who gets re suits. He was given an ovation at the close, just like the opera audiences do when they demand that the orchestra conductor come out for his bouquet. the umpire, such action at that time gave the announced pitcher the right to throw five balls. This he would do very slowly. Then the manager would notify that such a pitcher would work. While he was going through the same performance as his predecessor, the pitcher who the manager really Intend ed to use would be getting ready by taking advantage of the maneuvering on the part of his manager. I have known managers to send in five pitch ers, none of whom they really Intended to use. This practice became so annoying that the men in control of the game decided that it must be eliminated. A rule was placed in the code which stat ed that any time a pitcher was an nounced he would have to pitch to one batter, until said batter was either re tired or reached first in safety. That effectually blocked the former prac tice, because the manager realized he had to use care in the selection of a substitute, since the man selected had to pitch to at least one batsman. That rule seemed to solve the situa tion, but strange things are always happening in baseball, and a few years ago a play came up that put the in terpretation of the new rule sorely to test. As a matter of fact, from the standpoint of being definitely covered by the rules, it has not yet been set tled. Umpires simply place their own interpretation the rule, using com mon sense as the guiding medium. ' Here was the unusual situation. With the bases filled and two men out. the manager of the team In the field de cided that safety first measures called for the entrance into the game of his star pitcher who, by the way, was very poor hitter. After getting on the rubber prepared to pitch, the twlrler wheeled around and caught the runner napping off second, he made a dash for third. The play eventually ended at the plate, where the runner from third was caught trying to score. That re tired the side. I neglected to mention that the score was a tie. When the home team came in for the last half of the ninth it man aged to get a man on third with one out. It was the pitcher's turn to bat. The manager decided to send in a sub stitute, noted for his ability to deliver in a pinch, particularly with long flies if not base hits. He so announced his intention to the umpire. At this stage the manager of the team in the field offered an objection on the grounds that the pitcher had not as yet pitched until a batsman had either been re tired or reached first in safety. The umpire allowed the substitution, clalm- ng that the retiring of the side in a different way had eliminated the pitch er's chance of so doing and that he had really fulfilled his mission. The pinch hitter came through with a single that won the game. The contest was pro tested but was not allowed. If the rule covering substitution stat ed that the pitcher must pitch until the batsman has either been retired or reached first in safety, or until a base- runner has been retired there would be no room for argument. At present there is some logic In the claim that was made, that a substitution for the pitcher was impossible according to a strict interpretation of the rule.

There was a lively little firefly drill by the junior girls' class, and two boxing exhibitions, one staged in bar rels for comedy, and, one a straight of fering. A splendid triple bar act that could get vaudeville booking most any time on any time was presented by a trio of dating and clever gymnasts, and 1 pyramidal exhibition amazed. A love ly Spanish dance, by the ladies' class, and the seniors in several sets of table vaulting, dumbell drill, and general acrobatics proved most sensational and worth while. One of the rare Joys of the evening was the beautiful dancing of the first Junior girls, dainty babies as woodland sprites and forget-me- nots, and the second junior girls in esthetic movements. At Intervals in the programme, addresses dramatically patriotic were given by W. W. Banks. president or tne club, who spoke or the object of the club to develop clean manhood and womanhood; by John L. Etheridge, who made a plea for re sponse to the liberty loan, and by M. R. Klepper. manager of the speakers' campaign, who spoke of the dangers to democracy. The Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club Glee Club further enhanced the evening with selections.- and the big party wound up by a dance, partlcl pated in by young and old. athletic and non-athletic and it Is true that every body had a good time. Baseball on the Inside. By Billy Evans. OT so many years ago it was possi ble for a manager to meet any pitching emergency by simply juggling hia twirlers until the man he desired to use had a chance to get properly warmed up. If without the slightest signs of weakening on the part of his pitcher, the opposition began to rain base hits, the manager would resort to strategy. Since it all happened so quickly, be had no pitcher ready to take up the burden. All that was necessary to give him the desired time ys ta siva tua sima of a, Ditcher to EMBLEMS ARE AWARDED O. A. C.

RULES MAY CHANGE Hockey League Heads Confer on Uniform Regulations. SIX-MAN TEAM IS FAVORED Changes to Be Recommended to Two Leagues- Outlook for Profes sional Hockey Dark If War Continues, Says Calder. MONTREAL, Canada., April 12. (Special.) Uniform rules to govern world's championship hockey series of the future have been practically settled upon, so President Frank Calder, of the National Hockey League, announced yesterday, following the recent visit here of Frank Patrick, head of the Pa cific Coast Hockey League. President Patrick has consenteo to six-man hockey for the series, but with these provisions: There shall be a center Ice area, not so large as that in vogue in the past. in which the offside pass snail be per mitted. That nicking the puck shall be per mitted excepting in an area close to the nets. The offside pass and puck KicKing are both permitted on the Coast, where seven-man hockey is still in vogue. The agreement betwen the two leagues is therefore in the nature of a compromise. The offside pass introduced for tne series is the most important decided upon. President Calder said today thai the offside f-gs area would probabl be about 40 feet in width, or 20 feet on each side of the center ice. These changes have not been official ly made, but will be recommended to each league. ' President Calder said that a meeting of the National Hockey League will be held in the near future to discuss these and other matters. "It is doubtful whether there will be any professional ice hockey in the West or East next season," said Calder. "If the war should not be concluded think it doubtful whether either league will operate. "The calling out of-class B men will take many players from both organiza tions and If another call is made it will leave only a few aged veterans, with whom it would be impossible to op erate. President Patrick has left for the Pacific Coast. Kecrult Pitcher to Get Tryout. A youngster by the name of Mc- Kinley, who has been pitching semi- pro ball around Seattle, blew into "Judge" McCredie's office yesterday and had a talk with the "boss." "Judpe" decided to send him on to Manager Bill Fisher at Pendleton and give him a try out with the Beavers. McKinley is said to be a likely looking fellow and says that he can deliver the goods.
