But when a player refuses to run out a hit on which it seems certain he is cer tain to be retired, the fan loses patience and I don't blame him in the least. During the ordinary ball .game a player seldom goes up to the plate more than five" times. It certainly is not asking too much of the player for him to run out every effort at the bat. Time and again last year I have seen players fail to run out hits which they would have beaten to first, because the man handling the ball slipped up. In this respect I have always had the greatest admiration for Harry Hooper, of Boston. No matter where Hooper hits the ball, his constant thought is that he must try to beat it to first base. Time after time I have seen him tap the ball to the pitcher, and instead of merely jogging toward first as a good many players do, he would tear for that base like mad. Of course in most in stances he proves an easy out, but twice last year I saw ball games won that meant a great deal to Boston, simply because Hooper refused to regard him self as out until so retired. m In Boston the fans swear by Hooper and without a doubt that admiration has been inspired by his determination to always do his best. Hooper is a re markable fielder. For years he has played the sun field in Boston, a most imil , , Inttrscholastic Baftketball League Standings. W. L. Pet. I W. Jj. Pet. Kranklin . .a O 1.

The Quakers literally ran away with the contest and were not, in danger at any time. In the first half Kranklin ecored 19 points to Christian Brothers' 5, and in the last half 21 points to Christian Brothers' 10. The cne-sided score did not tend to slow up the game and the play was fast throughout. A number of fouls were called on both teams by Referee Fabre, Jr., with. Franklin be ing the chief offender. Charley Thomas and "Babe" Hobson, diminutive Franklin forwards, tied for high-score honors, each player regis tering 12 points. Every player on the Franklin team made more than one basket during the game. Christian Brothers made only four field baskets, the rest of the points being garnered from free throws on fouls. All of the Franklin quintet, Charley Thomas, Hobson, Reynolds, Harry Thomas and Jones played a stellar game and look like a hard combination to beat. Breen and Shaw played a consistent 'game for the losers. Columbia University will tangle with James John at the Washington gym nasium this afternoon. Both, teams lost their initial game of the season last week and will try hard to beat each other today. Following is the tuminary of yesterday's contest: Franklin (40) Christian Bros. (15) C.

Bob McAllister, lately boxing in structor for the Army, at Vancouver Barracks, Washington, is a. visitor to Honolulu as & member of the engine room force of the Shipping Board (steamer Salmon, which came down from the Northwest recently with a load of shocks. Efforts are being made to match Mc Allister with some of the local light heavyweights, but no suitable oppv nents appear to be on hand. However, if the Salmon lays over long enough for repairs, McAllister may go on in an exhibition bout with the welterweight champion of the island, Jimmy Flynn, in a few weeks or so. Nothing definite has been settled as yet. McAllister enjoyed the trip down and said in an interview that he is as "hard as nails" and "full of pep." I LOOK for a big improvement in baseball during the season of 1919. 1 feel sure this improvement will make itself apparent in many ways. There is no doubt in my mind that war has made for a. better brand of baseball. It teemed for a time that the entry of the United States into the big strife might work a serious harm to the game. It was a certainty that if the war lasted a couple of years longer many players would be lost through injury, while a year or two of -activity would be bound to slow up many of the veterans of the same. The sudden ending of the bis conflict over there has, of course, made a big difference in the status of baseball. The players who have seen service on for eign soil and those who have merely had the experience of life at the can tonment have learned the value of dis cipline, one of the biggest lessons in iife. In a measure the success of any ball club depends to a large degree upon the ability of the manager to maintain discipline and do so in such a manner that he will in no way destroy harmony. That has always been a big proposition for major and minor league leaders. Without a doubt a great many play ers will report to. their clubs in the Spring, whether it be in the majors or minors, with a different perspective of life. They will have been through the great aavanture and will have profited greatly thereby. Some of those who in days gone by thought they were being harshly treated when asked to pitch out of turn or get back into the game sooner than they believed they were able, because of injuries or illness, will not look on the game in that light. They will have reached the belief that baseball is a pretty fair profession; that for the time expended no class of men are better paid and that it is up to them to deliver the best they have at all times. On the whole the American fan is a pretty fair individual if you treat him half right. However, no one can be more critical or abusive if he feci so disposed. The real thought that every participant in the National pas time should have is to give the specta tor a run for his money at all times. When an enthusiast pays his good money at the gate to see a ball game he wants to see a ball game. He doesn't care to see some star sulk if the breaks of the game go against him. He doesn't enthuse when some player loafs on a play that it seems he should have made. And of all things it jars the fan most to see some player hit a ball to the infield, start for first, then become disgusted with his. effort and refuse to run out the hit. To my way of thinking there is no worse way to ofTend the baseball pub lic than not to play out the string. The lover of baseball will forgive errors, because he knows the player is only human. He will condone a strike out on the part of a. star hitter with the hases filled, with the thought that even the best of them must fail at times. He will have a feeling of sorrow and sym pathy when some crack pitcher is driven from the box. He even will overlook a "bone" every now and then, figuring the best of baseball machinery, whether it be the jncchantcal end or the difficult position. He has usually played it in a brilliant fashion. In a game with Chicago last year Hooper had the only bad day I have ever seen him have. He missed a couple of flies and misjudged two pthers. Did the Boston fans jeer? Not by a long shot. At the close of each inning he was given an ovation and words of encour agement shouted to him. It was a tribute to a player who had stlways done his best. The war has taught dis cipline. I don't expect many players to quit on the jobs next season. FIGHTERS READY FPU GONG PETER MITCHIE HAS STRENU OUS DAY IX GYMNASIUM. Interesting Boats on Programme of Smoker to Be Given Tomor row Night at Heilig. The battlers who will appear on to morrow night's bill at the Heilig The ater put in a busy day yesterday, as it was their last chance to get a good workout before the start of the bouts. All of the boxers will lay off today and take things easy. The next time they don the padded mitts will be in the ring at the theater. Pete Mitchie, 'the fast young Port land lightweight, who will clash with Harold Jones, of Tacoma claimant of the Pacific Coast lightweight title, worked six fast rounds yesterday, be sides nearly an hour on the bag and in skipping rope. Pete'says he is in great condition and hopes to annex doughty Harold's scalp. Jones will arrive here tomorrow, accompanied by his man ager, Chet Mclntyre. Walter McDevitt. ' th rugged - San Francisco boxer, who will meet Alex Trambitas in the semi-windup, worked out for his first time in Portland yes terday, boxing four hard rounds with Jack Delaney, a recent arrival from Kansas City, Mo. McDevitt is one husky bird and holds dynamite in either mitt. McDevitt is out to polish Trambitas off in a hurry and will battle to that end. Alex Trambitas is not saying much. but thinking a whole lot. The clever Roumanian lightweight can always be looked for to make things interesting for his opponent, and a battle royal is looked for between him and the San Francisco boy. The rest of the bouts will be as fol lows: Joe Gorman vs. Johnny Cashill, Frank Kendall vs. Harry Williams and Niel Zimmerman vs. Harry Parker. Milwaukee After Tournament. CHICAGO, Jan. 20.

The contestants weighed in at 3 P. M., Leonard tipping the scales at 134 pounds and Dundee at 130. With the exception of the first and third rounds, which wnt to Dundee on aggressiveness, the champion led throughout, landing the more effective blows. Dundee was willing at all times, but Leonard was too fast. In the second and fourth rounds Leonard kept his opponent away with left hooks to the face, and in the next round quickened the pace, cornering Dundee and sending, in left hooks and short right uppercuts. The champion landed several hard rights to the body in the sixth and drove -Dundee about the ring in the seventh with successive jabs. In the final round Dundee was turned completely around by a hard left to the head. Dundee's face was marked when the bout ended. Patsy Cline, of Newark, refereed. BUFFALO, N. T., Jan. 10.

For over a century the English breed ers of race horses have been awarding the blue ribbon of the turf to the win ners of the Derby. With them it is the supreme test of merit. Through early training and intense breeding the 3-year-old trotter is rapidly becoming, as good in his line as the runner in his at the same age, and it will not be many years before foals of that age . will be taking the word in all the class events at the leading meetings. One of the first 3-year-old races of which there is a record was trotted over the Union course on Long Island on April 27, 1852, when Rose of Wash ington, by Burr's Washington, defeated American Eagle, by Cassius M. Clay, in 2:G4. She also proved a good trotter in her day.

NEW TORK. Jan. 20. Ban Johnson and John A. Heydler, presidents, re spectively, of the American and Na tional Baseball leagues, decided at a conference today not to sign at present a tentative agreement with the minor leagues. Heydler said that he and Johnson would not sign the agreement until they had time to go into the subject more fully. "1 see no use in signing a temporary agreement," said Heydler. "If there is any discussion, let it be over a real agreement between tho parties. The minors wanted to break the National agreement and we gave them permis sion to do so. By a unanimous vote of the 16 major-league clubs at the joint meeting last Thursday, we agreed to respect the contracts, reservations up to 21 players and present territorial rights of the minor leagues. This is all on record. What more can they want?" John H. Farrell, secretary of the Na tional Association of Professional Base ball Clubs, who had remained here to get the signatures of Hedyler and John son, was greatly disappointed. He said he did not think there would be any trouble in getting the signatures after the agreement had been approved by August Herrmann. chairman 'of the commission, last Saturday. He added that while the big leagues had made several promises, the National associa tion deemed it important that these promises should be in writing pending the drawing up of a lasting agreement. Johnson went to Washington today to endeavor to make arrangements for the discharge of certain major-league players in service in Europe. Heydler said he would go as far as Johnson to ask for the discharge of player soldiers in Europe. FLOOD STOPS TRAIN SERVICE Coqnille Valley Stockman's Losses Large in Cattle. MARSH FIELD. Or., Jan. 20. (Spe cial.) The Coquille River is over the tracks on the south and on the north side of Coquflle, and the train service to the valley is still impossible. The Portland train was not run through to Powers today, making the second day of interrupted service. L. P. Bransteller. the stockman, who had many cattle on the lowlands near Coquille, sustained a loss estimated at 12000 from drowning of cattle. The damage from floods on Coos River was not extensive, although much silt has covered the bottom lands along the upper farming districts. This, ranchers know, will be a benefit in stead of a handicap, excepting where logs and debris have settled. The Portland train was several hours late today owing to the necessity of running slow to safeguard passengers. The engine broke down and another was sent to pull the train in. Kentucky Horses Prove Winners. HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. 20.

LA GRANDE. Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.) Protracted rain has eet in over a wide area of the Blue Mountain re gions, mantling the peaks with snow, but thoroughly soaking the valley with a heavy rain.
