Walker's batting averase with the
Detroit Tigers last season was not

ASKTON. Idaho. Feb. ;..The third
annual dog race bet wet n Ash ton and
Yellowstone will take the place of the
nil-Alaska sweepstakes this winter in
the intercut f followers of these
events. 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. !
There s intense rivilry between
ow ner.-! of dog teams in this section and
followers of the sport are taking
keen in teres, t in t e contest. 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.

In glancing over the eastern ex

across the sport page of the Phila

following story, which may be of in
terest to local fans:
"Fred Fulton, alleged fighter, who
recently declared that he had agreed
to fake his bout with Jack Dempsey
at Harrison. X. J., last summer and
then was 'double-crossed. is trying to
extricate himself from the mess. Hav
ing been unmercifully panned and dis
credited by fight critics all over the
country. Fulton now is preparing an
alibi. He is going to 'pass the buck.'
The faint-hearted plasterer is about to
tell the sporting world that certain
persons in San Francisco who wanted
to oueer Uempsey out oi ine matcn
with Willard made him stand for the
storv of the 'frame up' and the 'double
cross." Fulton, according to the latest
information from the coast, is eager
to repudiate his charge, so that he will
be restored to good standing and c
get a match with the winner of the
Willard-lempsey affair."
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."

second half the Quakers kept right on
going and the game ended w-ith the
score 32 to S in their favor. Hill made
one field basket in the first period

CHAPIN DEFEATS MeALLISTER
Surprise Is Sprung in Three-Cushion
Billiard Tournament.
H. J. Chapin sprung another surprise
in the three-cushion handicap billiard
tournament at the Rialto last night
when he defeated W. B. McAllister. 30
to .4 . billiards. McAllister is playing
with a 35-point handicap in class A,
while Chapin is only playing 30 points
for game. At one time McAllister was
in the lead. 13 to 9. Starting in the
29th inning, McAllister began to to
boggan and registered only four bil
liards in the next 3G innings. Chapin
scored a high run of three.
Two other matches were played at

Hartley Wins Decision.
BALTIMORE. Feb. 20. 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."

nowledge in the race for the flag are

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.

Sam Crawford believes that the De

a cash consideration in the trade
whereby Heiiman, Veach and Dennie

a club as Jackson. These players say
it will be interesting to see how Cobb
