Judsre McCredie was treated to a vreet surpre yesterday when he re 4-fvved a nw supply of check books irom the Hibcrnia bank with which to pay salaries for the 1919 season. Up In one corner of the check is a list of the years In which the Beavers won the pennant, but the bank printer took I upon hims-elf to add "Wl." followed iy tm-o question marks. Judge Me redies only comment was "1 hope it's true." Reef" Hennessy formerly was chief Ivory hunter for the I'ortland team around San Francisco until he became rraintr of Dill Kodffcrs Sacramento outfit last year. Yesterday a lonjc let ter was received at baseball headquar ters from HVnnessy. saying had unearthed another Louis Outstu and if Kodtsers dtd not want him would be to hand him over to the McCredies. The youngster is a first-sacker and is now playing with one of the California colleges.

The Ashton-Yellowstone event is scheduled for Sunday, February 23. and will be run over a course which will practically follow that of last year's race, a distance of little more i than 20 mil s. !

Last year . extra coaches had t be added to every train wheh arrived here with hundreds of visitors to witness the end of the race. There will be at least three teams Oi from five to neven dogs in this year's race. Those entered include a team from the Harrlman ranches in Island Park; from the A. S. Trude ranch and a five-dog team from the Shotgun val ley. he usual feature comprising teams driven by boys, ski-jumping and racing and other winter sports are in cluded. l-ast year's race, held March 3. was won by the Trude team in 2 hours 37 n ltnuus and 4 4 seconds. All teams consisted of mixed breeds. It is un derstood that one of the entries from the Harriman ranch this year will be a team of Alaskan huskies. Benny Leonard, world's lightweight champion, will take on Willie Ritchie, former tifle-holder, tonight in a four- round bout at ban Francisco. Th lightweight crown is not involved, as neither of the principals- is making the weight. Ritchie weighs well into the "forties" and probably will tip the beam at 150 pounds. Leonard is tak ing on all of the boys at catchweights While Ritchie has not taken part in any bouts for some time, he is said to be in pretty fair condition for his bout tonight. The former champion has been getting into shape at the Olympic club, San Francisco, and those who have watched him work out with Harry Bramer, "the fighting marine,'' say Ritchie is all tuned up for his tilt with Leonard. Leonard will have to step much faster in his bout with Ritchie than he did against Joe Benjamin and "Spider" Roach. The champion toyed with Benjamin, but was forced to ex tend himself with Roach and will have to travel at top speed tonight if he wants to show the edge in his bout with Ritchie. Four rounds Is a short distance for Ritchie. In his palmy days Willie could step four roiuids without as much as mussing a hair. He has been able to travel the ten or 20-round route with as much ease. Leonard has seldom boxed more than ten rounds, doing most of his work in six round affairs. Unless the unexpected happens tonight, the bout will go the limit. San Franciscans who are close to Willie Ritchie predict that if Ritchie makes a good showing tonight he will again enter the fight ranks and try for the welterweight title, which he claims he can make by a course of systematic training. vs., i i.

IJOXIXC; VOTE EXPECTED TODAY McFarland Bill Expected to Be Re ported Favorably. STATK CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 20. (Special.) The McFarland boxing bill, whf'-h nas been holding a peril ous course in the senate judiciary com mittee since landing there after its passage in the house, will be reported out favorably tomorrow and be ready for final passage. Representative McFarland expressed the belief tonight that there will be no difficulty in putting the bill over in the upper house, although some lobbying has been carried on against it. It is believed, however, that consider ably over the requisite number of votes will be aligned for the bill on. third reading. The bill provides for creation of mu nicipal boxing commissions, and its only opponents now are a few who fa vored another bill that had for its ob ject the creation of a state commis sion, but which met dffeat in the house. Lively Debate Carired On, in. Which Conservationists Are Attacked in Old Style. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Feb 20. (Special.) Amended o that It cre ates a state game reserve out of Mal heur lake,, ramer than ceding It to the federal government as first provided and dedicating the lake to the memory of Theodore Koosevelt as the "Roose velt reserve," the McFarland bill, which has brought hundreds of letters and messages and miles of newspaper clip pings to the desks of legislators, passed the house tonight with 33 votes in favor of it and the first- round of the contest of Birds vs. Babies" was over. Two hours and ten minutes of the now precious time of the house was taken up by the warmest debates of the session. Twenty-two votes were against the bill, Gallagher changing his nega tive vote to aye, for the purpose of moving for a reconsideration. Debate la Lively. .Representatives Lewis and Kubli spoke in favor of the bill as a means of preserving the lake as a great game reserve, "greatest in the west," as Kubli pronounced it. Representative Gallagher denied that the opposition to the bill arose as a protection for the interests of C. B, McCrnnell, who, It has been stated widely, is about to drain the lake and thus destroy its value as a bird reserve. "There is no more danger of drain ing Malheur lake than there is of drain ing the mouth of the Columbia river," declared Gallagher. "There is not a bit of danger of that reservation being destroyed and if there was, I would be here opposing. There is no danger of any company draining this lake. Half a dozen men signed the petition for this reservation under misstate ments by. Mr. Finley and he admitted before the committee he made these misstatements." State-Wide Interest Felt. Gallagher declared that to shut off this land or give it to the federal gov ernment would be robbing the school children of the state and that nothing should be done with the lake until the attorney-general had settled the titles now under cloud. Representative Moore held up an armful of letters showing the state wide interest that had developed in the snape of portests against drainage of the lake and appeals that it be main tained as a bird reserve. "Should the lake be drained it will probably leave an alkaline flat where the birds will not remain," said Dr. Moore. "We are asking for an amend ment that the drainage act be re pealed in so far as it pertains to Mal- heul lake, so that we will be serving notice on the land board that it is not to drain Malheur lake." pQUg 0 TJVERY motorcyclist and prospective rider ff H in town knows what this day means the formal opening of the 1919 Indian riding season the biggest event of the year. . i , Come in, get acquainted with the 1919 4L", Indian Motocycles and Bicycles.

Pete Hartley of New York was given the referee's decision in a 15-round bout here to night against George Erne of Buf falo, N. Y. Pessimistic View Taken. "Oregon is being made the goat," de clared Representative Jones of Lincoln and Polk. "What with forest reserves and gam reserves there will soon be nothing left." Questions were fired back and forth as to the effect of the bill. Renrespnt- ative K. E. Smith declared he was sus picious of the bill, because the first bill sought to take 57,000 acres of the land from the school children, and advocates of the measure were caught at that and came in with a substitute. Smith of llaker made the same kind of an at tack, declaring "The real purpose of this bill is to turn the land back to the federal government." and asserted that if this bill passed, two years from now the effort will be renewed to nut it into the hands of the federal government. Connervntionlsts Are Blamed. .ur. inley hasn't abandoned that idea, and don't you forget jt." he de clared. "Once it gets into the hands ot the federal government it will never come back to the state. The same de sire that animated the conservationists 2o y-ars "ago animates Finley and the rod and gun clubs now. They are try- ng to make a reserve for a sliootintr giounu ana in aoing it to rob the farm ers of the Harney valley of their homes. Wl.en they put this la'nd in the hands of the government they steal the land from the school children of the state The idea of getting the school children to petition the legislature to steal lands from themselves!" "l.'onserj-ation does not mean reser vation," declared Representative Stew art, "and Mr. Roosevelt, whom you wish to honor with his name on this reserve, with Mr. Pinchot, took one-third of the state of Oregon off the tax roll." BOY CHAMP DEFEATS JAP Manager. Charles Graham. Eddie Herr. Red Killefer. William Essick. Walter MeCredie. Dell Howard. William Rodjrers. W. J. Clymer. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20. The rival managers wlo will pilot the various teams of the Pacific Coast league thi year and match wits and baseball nowledge in the race for the flag are ell known to followers of baseball and each has the confidence of the com munities which he represents. One of the often answered but still unsolved problems of athletics is the question, how much does a manager count for in the results achieved by his team? The men who will guide the destinies of the Pacific Coast league this season are: Club. San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Vernon, Portland, Oakland. Sacramento, Seattle, - Herr, who is managing1 the Salt Lake team, is a formes scout for the St. Louis club and a new arrival among Pacific coast managers. That Herr has his work cjit out for him in the matter of getting a team together may be in ferred from an article in a Salt Lake City paper, which stated the only thing needed by the local club was players. The present urgent needs of the Salt Lake club are said to be tfcree outfield ers, a second baseman, a high-class pitcher antt a firsf-string catcher. As a matter of fact the predicament of Herr is identical with that of prac tically all the other managers at the present time. Each is confronted with the problem of finding two, three or more players who are capable of strengthening acknowledged weak points in the various clubs. Players who are picked up now are as likely as Five and Y. M. C. A. quintets. Van couver high is said to have a whiz ot a team and a great game is expected. As a preliminary game a contest will be played between this year's Chris tian Brothers team in the Inter cholastic league and the Immaculate club five. In a recent game between the Christian Brothers' team and the Immaculate club it was necessary to play five minutes overtime, the former team winning out by the score of 29 to 28. The Christian Brothers' alumni basketball team will play the crack South Parkway quintet for the inde pendent championship of the state next Thursday night probably at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium.

He has not yet accepted the offer. , Sam Crawford believes that the De troit management must have received a cash consideration in the trade whereby Heiiman, Veach and Dennie Bush went to the White Sox in ex change for Joe Jackson. Many Coast players who have performed in the majors consider Veach as valuable to a club as Jackson. These players say it will be interesting to see how Cobb and Jackson, rivals in past years, get along. "Boss" Johnny Powers of the Angels thinks Sam Crawford will change his mind about retiring and will be .on deck when spring practice starts. He had quite a chat with Sam Saturday.

'Two more umpires are needed. Baum says he has a stack of applications on file in his office at San Francisco that wouldalmost fill a warehouse, so anx ious are some people to umpire. After being in the front line trenches, aspir ing indicators feel they can withstand anything. . Baum is figuring on Bill Guthrie as one of the umpires, but inasmuch as Big Bill is slated for the berth in the American league caused by the death of "Silk" O'Loughlin, there is a chance that Baum is due to be disappointed. a San Francisco, will take its players into training camp one week before the Portland team is ordered to report at Crockett.
