brains, must at some time get clogged.
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

The Franklin High School quintet
won its second game of the 1919 season
yesterday afternoon at the Washington
pym, defeating Christian Brothers 49
to 15 points. 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.

last week and will try hard to beat

Vancouver Boxing Instructor May
Meet Lightweights.
HONOLULU. T. H.. Jan. 8. (Special.)
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.

Dundee and sending, in left hooks and
short right uppercuts.

YOUNG TROTTERS DEVELOP
EARLY TRAINING AND INTENSE
BREEDING PRODUCE RESULT.
First Event Conducted Over Union
Course on Long Island 'in
April, 1852.
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

National Association Desires That
Promise Made at Conference
Be in Writing.
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.
