There may be no world's hockey,
series on the Pacific Coast despite the
truce the warring leagues patched up
a, fortnight ago. Martin Rosenthal,
boss of the Ottawa leaders of the Na
tional Hockey Association, gave out
statement in Ottawa on Friday to the
effect that three of his stars could not
make such a trip and that he would
not come West for any world's series.
Frank Patrick, president of the Coast
league, declared yesterday that the Pa
cific Coast League would call quits
with the National association forever
more if the Easterners refused to live
up to their agreement.
"In view of the understanding had
with them it is up to the National
Hockey Association to defend the Stan
ley cup on the Coast." said Patrick.
Sir. Patrick Is Determined.
T am determined that unless the
series Is played here we will have
nothing more to do with the National
Hockey Association. We are having
an excellent brand of hockey on the
Coast and will be content to run our
own game independent of the East."
In case the world's series is called
off. an all-star cast- will be brought
West by Ross and Pete Muldoon said
last night that one or two games would
be played in the Portland Ice Hippo
drome. "Gerard. Darrah and Duford are the
Ottawa players who claim to be un
able to make the world's series Coast
trip," explained Manager Muldoon. of;
the Uncle Sams. 'I think Rosenthal is
peddling this talk in an effort to draw
the Coast team Eastward. However,
the Victoria septet played in the East
last year and it is their turn to defend
out here. .
Portland Amateur May Play.
When the Portland Uncle Sams leave
tomorrow for a three-game series with
the British Columbia hockeylsts. a
Portland amateur star may accompany
them. "Smokey" Harris will be unable
to participate against Victoria on
Tuesday night, owing to his bruised
shoulder. Tobln. therefore, will ,be
shoved into a forward berth and the
amateur will alternate 'with Benson at
point and In the spare positions.
"With Poulln out with a broken
arm. we ought to win from Victoria
easily." declared Manager Muldoon. "Of
course, we lose a good man In Harris,
but normally we have a big edge on
Victoria and Poulin has been the bug
in our coffee.
"Harris will be ready for the Friday
and Saturday games against Vancou
ver. We are hoping and praying for
two victories over the leaders."

State Record for DUcu9 Throw
Broken Three Times and in AH
Distances From 75 Yards to
live Miles He Sets Pace.
BY U-NO-ME.
Nine years ago a sickly youth of 13
Summers entered the Model School of
the Kansas State Normal. For seven
years lung fever had done her utmost
to turn his toes up to the daisies. One
day he strolled into the Library and
there saw a picture of the Ancient
Greek In the act of throwing the dis
cus. It appeared to him and he asked
several questions about It. He was in
formed that there was a real-sure-enough
discus over at the gym.
They had no objection to his throw
ing it. so for two to three hours every
afternoon, he threw it about the rieid.
He could do no better Jthan 40 feet the
first year, but worked up to 80 feet the
third year.
When a freshman in the Normal Hign
School, he entered a class meet and
won second place by throwing tne plat
ter 94 feet.
He had developed into a husky lad of
about ISO pounds and for four years
won the event in the state meet. Three
times he broke the Etate record and
finally placed, it at 129 feet, 3 inches.
He did not confine nts eirorts to
the discuss, but pushed the shot out
beyond 40 feet ana usually won a piace
mong the first tnree, Me aiso ran av
great deal and won many friendly
races with men who thought they
were speed merchants.
A year ago H. J. Cole entered Ore
gon Agricultural College and became
Doc Stewart's discus heaver. He won
the event at Berkeley in the All-Coast
meet. At Eugene in the Oregon Agri
cultural College-Oregon University
dual meet and at Pullman In the con
ference meet.
He was twice defeated by Phllbrook,
of Multnomah, but Phllbrook had to
hang up a new Coast record in order
to win.
Philbrook seems to have Cole's num
ber, for it was he who defeated Cole by
10 Inches in the Chicago trials and
kept Cole from going to Stockholm for
the Olympia games in 1912.
But look out! Cole has resolved to
get the Coast record and has been
keeping in shape by running cross
country all Winter. Doo Stewart has
been trying to find some phenoms
among the students, so has been run
ning the 800 gym pupils cross-country
runs and on speed trials in the Armory.
He is using Cole as pace-setter and
any of the lads who can romp In ahead
of Cole are Jotted down as prospects.
But it is seldom that anyone shows
him a pair of heels, whether It is a
75-yard dash or any distance up to five
miles. (
To look at Cole's 6 feet 1 Inch and
his 198 pounds of sturdy manhood, one
can scarcely believe that iu years ago
he was a sickly lad, who could go to
school only a part of the year.
As a developer of sturdy men, track
athletics leads them all.

Mullen, One of Trio, Likely to Have to
Fight for Job With Yankees, Dell
Drafted by Brooklyn.
SEATTLE, Feb. 20. (Special.)
Weiser Dell and Charlie Schmutz left
Seattle tonight to join the training
squad of the Brooklyn National League
Club in Florida. Charlie Mullen, first
baseman of the New York Yankees,
went East a week ago, so the big
league colony, which has Wintered In
Seattle, is as good as wiped out for
seven or eight months.
All three are in fine physical con
dition before reporting. Mullen always
was a model young man, and when he
retires from baseball will not have to
pipe the motor cars as they draw up
at the curb and make a "touch."
Schmutz has even cut out tobacco, so
he is reformed to a frazzle, and since
Dell married last Fall he has forgot
ten how the cluster lights on Second
avenue look on Saturday night.
Mullen will have a hot fight for the
first base job with the Yankees this
year if all that Is told about young Mr.
Pipp, late of Detroit, is true. Schmutz
was with Brooklyn all last season and
closed so strong that they figure on
his being a regular this season. Dell
was drafted by Brooklyn from Seattle
lut Fall. This is not his first trip to
the big show, as he was with the St.
Louis Cardinals until he had a dis
agreement with Roger Bresnahan and
came back to the Pacific Northwest.
He will be the giant flinger of the
Brooklyn squad, but they are a trifle
off in figuring him at 6 feet 4 inches.
Dell has a lot of speed and a great
curve ball. Arflr time his curve breaks
on the corners he is hard to beat.
Dell is referred to as a physical mar-
vel, but according to his own story, he
does not class with big Al Glpe, who
will Join the New York Giants this
Snrine. Dell says that Glpe could
hrenk- him In two. and for that mat
ter do the same thing to any other
player in the Northwestern League last
year.
Kmil Huhn. the "Demon Dutcn

in th Cltv of Adrian. Mich. After

worked as a clerk the Winter before.
He has Just begun training for the

George StuIIiiigs Called GreHtcvt Con.
strnctive Head In Game "Wild
Bill'' Heads Yankees on K co
ord of Building Xlncs.
BY CHRISTY MATHEWSON,
The Giants' Famous pitcher.
NEW YORK. Feb. 20. (Special.)
Big leaguers recognize two types of
winning managers. One is the man
who can drive a machine to pennants
and world's championships after it has
the nucleus of a championship team.
The other is the sort who can take
hold of a ball club which amounts to
Just nothing and whip It Into a winner.
Frank Chance was a driver. He drove
the old Chicago Cubs until they fell
apart. George Stallings is a construe
tive manager, the greatest in the game.
I think. Ke got behind a club-which
did not have a championship germ con
cealed in it and beat the world.
"When I first took hold of the
Giants." McGraw has told me often,
"a cub with money could go out and
buy star players. The owners, whose
profits were not large, were glad
enough to add to them a little bit by
selling players. I built my first cham
pionship team in New York by buying
and trading.
"My real scare, since I have been In
baseball, was when I saw the old cham
pions begin to go and I realized that
I would be forced to rebuild. By this
time good players had become so val
uable that it was not posible to go out
and purchase stars. Baseball had de
veloped to a point where a manager
must find the green timber for him
self and then develop the bustiers. I
wondered whether I 1iad that ability.
If I couldn't do this I knew I was
up against it as a manager."
McGraw Proves His Ability.
"Mac" has well proved his ability
to build a team by developing the play
ers himself, since he won the world's
championship in 1905. Every man on
the Giants today was turned into a
big leaguer by McGraw. with one or
two exceptions. Of course. Hans Lo
bert was not developed by "Mao" and
he Is golner to strengthen our team
this year, too, where it was weak last
season. That statement is only by the
way. But McGraw was wise enough
to be able to grab him when he threat
ened to hop to the Federal League.
Others tried it and failed.
When Colonel Ruppert and Captain
Huston purchased the New York Amer
icans they turned to McGraw for advice
about selecting a manager. A ball club
without a manager is like an automo
bile with a steering-gear all wrong.
The success of their investment de
pended on the man that they picked
out for the post. Both were eager to
get McGraw. .but. of course, that was
impossible. I have been told tr.t Colo
nel Ruppert did not realze at first why
the signing of Mac could not De ac
complished if they were willing to pay
him enough. The two new owners
asked McGraw's advice.
'What you want to get." said Mc
Graw to the new magnates, is a man
who can build a club for you. He must
know Players and be keen in his Judg
ment in handling men. You've got to
have an exDert builder for that Job.
"Whom would you recommend, jonni
asked Captain Huston.
Donovan Makea Club Supers.
'I don't want to recommend anyone
directly," replied McGraw, "but, outside
of George Stallings, Bill Donovan has
proved himself to be a better construc
tor of clubs than any otner manager
in the country. 1 believe. He took hold
of the Providence team when it was a
joke and made a pennant-winner out of
it. He also turned it into a money
maker for Its owners."
'We want both," replied "Cap' hus
ton. "a winner and a money-maer.
Cap did not mean tins it. a grasp
ing sense, for he is one of the Desi
sportsmen in baseball, as th fans are
going to admit after they watch the
way he handles the Yankees. But in
Nfw York a winner will mean a
monev-maker.
So that Is how "Wild Mill uonovan
hapnened to come to New York as
leader of the Yankees. McGraw was
the man that Captain Huston and colo
nel Ruppert wanted, but, when tney
found that they could not possibly
file-n the leader of the Ulants. tney
turned to him for advice and got re
sults Bill Donovan, who will get re
sults for them, 1 believe. And why
not change the name of the Yankees
to the "Caps" or the "Colonels" or the
Soldiers"? They ought to have a mil
itary flavor with two such wners.
Winter Drives Player. South.
In the past few years ballplayers
have come to favor warm climates in
which to "winter. This has developed
with the prosperity of the men in the
ranks, and many big-leasers flocK to
Southern California. Cuba. Florida or
some place where the railroad folders
and hotel pamphlets insist that a visi
tor can get along without an over
coat all Winter. Ballplayers oo not
go there for the purpose of economy
to save buying an overcoat dui oe-
caiise most ol them line tno wuim
Winters. I spent the Winter a year
ago in Los Angeles and enjoyed It
much. I decided to miss the cold
weather of January and February In
New York this year and went to Ha
vana with McGraw and Lobert.
A warm climate is a great tning tor
a nlaver. Brood for his health and mus
cles, except that it is a temptation. Out
in California thev have a winter league
and many of the stars of the majors
make a little money playing in exhibl-
lon and Winter-league contests, mat
. J ' lv IIav. It
s the temptation, i
does a man any gooo. it
shorten his playing period in the big
league. The wise ballplayer forgets
the game entirely in the Winter. Ho
needs that rest. There was somo talk
of me playing in some of the games in
California tho Winter I spent in Los
Angeles, but I wouldn't take a chance.
I am getting so well along now that
I need my rest, anyway. I think the
younger men do, too.
Unconditioned Play Dangerous.
r Another danger is that a player will
go into one of these games when he is
not In condition and throw his arm out
or break a leg sliding. Recovery Is
slow In both Instances. Somebody is
always getting up an exhibition game
or a benefit at Winter resorts and
asking you to appear in Just that one
contest. "One contest" has put more
pitchers permanently out of business
than any other single factor. I believe.
One raw day last December I was
working on a film for a motlon-plc-turo
company and they wanted to get
fir.lKh of a hard game.
"It won't look right." I told tho
director.
"Why not?" he acked.
"Because 1 won't look aa If I wrra
pltrhlng hard uiilem I really do. and I
can't do that without wariiiUm ut."
"Well." lie lvi'lii'd. "ao out io tho
polo around, and warm up and then
we'll niako the picture."
"If I never expected to ukc niv arm
again for pitching purpo.eo," 1 an
swered, "I would Jual a. kooii ! It.
But I don't think I ever could work
again If 1 went out (here today In ttila
cold wind and warmed tin haul without
having touched a baseball fr more
than two months."
Many a youngster mlaht not ha
seen the danger. Needles, to say, 1
did not go.
SpurUles From the llitnioml.
If you were an umpire in the Na
tional lx-ague, what would you do In
the Winter time?
So? Well, ou differ from l
