NEW VOKK. March 2. (Special.) There arc going to be many young ballplayers in the big leagues this sea i ., r.-i'fiitlv cut off four veterans ami announced thai he ln i..H.,l t. h.iild uu a young team. Tliis will be a test of Bresnahan's skill, fori it takes a :nart manager to develop a youngster. 1 believe liresnahnn can do It. Most youngsters wno im: i can attribute their success io inni managers, only they don't. When "Dutch" Leonard went to the Boston Red Sox a kid. "Hill" Carrigan. took him under his wirg and started to make a pitcher of him. Whenever the club took a trtp on the road Carri pn roomed with Leonard, and it is natural that he talked baseball to him. They tell mo that the Boston Ameri- ian' manager is one of the best men in the country to bring the pitching to the surface when he sets hold of a 'young twlrler. lie has been in the i atching business so lung that he knows just how to handle them. Most managers are learning that it is well to pass a Rood deal of time with their promising recruits. This is an old trick of George Stalling.". Whenever his club is on the road you will rind the Boston boss hanging around with r is youngsters. This shows them that he has an interest in them, and they work harder to make pood. Mailings trains his young pitchers by rooming thorn with Fred Mitchell, the veteran catcher, the man George has called his "right eye." Secret of Sucre Kxplnlnrd. For several years now "Connie" -Mack has stuck with the second team on its way north during the Spring training trip, talking to the youngsters and drilling them. He puts the first team in charge of one of his veterans. . "I riguro that the regulars ought to know my game." says Hack. "It takes time to teach the youngsters. I like to be close to them." McGraw used to have Wiibert Robin ron stick pretty near to his youngsters, especially the pitchers, when the big catcher was with the club. Now'Mac" has to stick with them himself most of the time. It is getting to be one of the big secrets in baseball, this developing of the youngsters, and the managers who win are the ones who are making a study of the recruits and work care fully on the raw talent. There is a story ffbout two hotel pro prietors in New- York who own proper ties within three blocks of each other which I heard recently, and which I believe w ill stand repeating. These two men have long been bitter enemies for some reason or other, and some of the other hotel men in the city thought it foolish for a couple of the leading rep resentatives of .their business to be at sword points. It was suggested that an attempt be made to bring them together at the annual banquet of the Hotel Men's As sociation, and each one of the belliger ents privately agreed beforehand, on the assurance that his enemy already had. to meet and do his share toward a peace treaty. On the night of the dinner the busy arbitrators brought them together. r.il! Carrlgan Called One Omn Itnle Tamed on Self. "Mr. M.." said one of the promoters of peace, "you know Air. 11." "Yes. yes. 1 know him." replied Mr. M.. "and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't be good friends. There is plenty of business for both of us, and, any time my hotel is full. I would be glad to recommend your establishment to the ovcrttow." "Sure." answered Mr. R. "All the strong-arm men and dynamiters and thieves and bums that I don'.t want I will be glad to send up to your joint." thank- you. Mr. it.," came back Mr. SI., who was right on the trigger. J don't want all your trade." Now. so my informant tells me. these two are no better friends than they were. This is a true story. One dav. while McGraw. Lobert and 1 were down in Cuba, we were playing a holo which was a difficult one to make. There was a hedge in such a position that a good second shot would put the ball in an almost unplayable ! lie. and a local rule permitted the golfer, in s.uch tough luck through no lack of skill, to drop the ball two ciub lenrrihs from the hedge. "Mac" got two good shots, and so did L A3 we approar-hed the obstruction, one ball was right smack up against the roots of the hedge. McOraw thought it was my ball. T was walking in front and I stooped over and looked at the unfortunate pellet. Mt's right up against the roots." 1 said. "What is the rule on that, do you know?" "I'm afraid you 11 have to play it." iMIraw and Lobert replied in chorus. "All right, come here and do It. "Mac ' I answered. "It's your ball." McCIraw wasted several shots and a lot f language trying to get out of that lie. and we all kn?w that the rule existed w hich permitted the drop pine of the ball two club lengths be hind the obstruction. 1'lan for Peace Announced. I understand that "Hub" Perdue has discovered a way by which he can bring about pc i-e in Europe if he has the courage to put his plan into prac tice. Perdue, it will be recalled, was with the Boston Braves last season until it began to look i-s if they might win a pennant, und then he was traded to St. Louis, where he did not get much becides a sweat. "Hub" also had one of the best cotton crops of years on his place in the Sojth last year and had counted on making a clean-up, since the cotton crops in other parts of the country were bad. and he figured that the price should be high. But the wa' came along and knocked the bottom right out of the cotton inarkel and cost "Hub" a big piece of monej". since he could not get much n?o:e for his product than he had spent raising dt. So it will be seen that Terdue is the original hard luck kid. It was a costly Summer for him last year. "If I want to stop that irritation In Europe." declares "Hub," "all I will have to do is to sell my cotton land and buy an interest in a cannon factory. They will surely quit quarrel ing then and agree to disarm all the nations so that there won't be any use for cannons and plenty of use for cotton. And I will do it, too, if some of these peace societies will make it worth ray while. It is a sure cure. If they don't want to try my remedy, they might as well stop talking peace, be cause 1 am telling them straight from V?, , p FOREIGN I F . frv ' I f& .

If Millionaires Win World Title They Will Likely Appear Here In Con tost With Picked Septet. Portland followeres of ice hockey are more than likely to see the cham pions of the National Hockey Associa tion in action here this season. Man ager Pete Muldoon. of the Uncle Sams, lias been notified that, should the Wanderers of Montreal win the cham pionship of the liast. Owner Liclien lieim will take the players to the San Francisco Fair. This being the case, the teaiu will be seen in Portland against a picked team. Although last night's game against the Victoria Aristocrats was the last scheduled match of the Pacific Coast Hockey League in Portland, arrange ments have been completed to bring the Vancouver Millionaires to Portland March 15 and 17. This will be just be fore the world's title is -settled In the Northern' city and will be a good work out for the contenders. It will be an all-star aggregation that will hook up against the cham pions of the Pacific Coast, Manager Patrick, Dunderdale and Kerr having been picked to help the Portland Uncle Sams, and all hail from the Victoria Aristocrats. The Uncle Sams have been handi capped by not having a strong player at the center position, and Captain Oat man, who has given a good account of himself at that berth, is a regular wing man. It has been hard for him to get accustomed to his new locality, but by- next season Manager Muldoon hopes to have him in the best of con dition. Several of the Uncle Sams have said that they will make Portland their homes for the Slimmer. Mike Mitchell. "Speed" McDonald, "Smoky" Harris and Moose Johnson already are maKing definite plans to remain here. Mitch ell is said to be a baseball catcher oi no mean ability and he will try to hook on with some team of the state. Should the locals get a chance at the Eastern champions two or three play- eres of the Vancouver Millionaires will be brought to Portland to fill out a septet, according to Manager Muldoon. The popular Irishman wants to give the Portland followers of the Undo Sams a chance to see their favorites before the season is officially closed. The proposed match against the Na tional Hockey Association squad will be staged in the Portland Ice Hippo drome soon after April 1. There will be no trades among the Pacific Coast Hockey aggregations until next Fall and all players will have strings attached to them through out the Summer.

CUP IS WON BY D. RESTA (Continued" From First Page.! for the Grand Prix and they watched him today. A bottle of champagne was broken over the car of Eddie Pullen. Mrs. Man Ion R. Margerun, wife of the as sistant to the president of the New Jersey Commission, broke the bottle of wine over Pullen's car while the pho tographers made their plates. It did not help Pullen much in overcoming the driving irresistible lead of Resta, but it landed him in third place. To that extent it broke the hoodoo of the Grand Prix. Tortoises Pass Hares. Ralph De Palma won fourth place by heady, consistent driving. There were times when he could have earned a cheer and a stamp from the excited grandstand, but De Palma had his own ideas about the course and the length of the drive and made his own pace. Early in the game astute observers in the press stand, when De Palma was falling far below the prizewinners, merely asked that his course be watched. Where Pullen was spectacu lar risky and reckless, De Palma kept to his mile gauge and finally proved that the tortoise eternally vanquishes the hare. There were many hares In the earlier laps, for De Palma for long time did not figure. Wilcox, in the Stutz, winner of sec ond place in the Grand Prix, was an other example of head work. He was ninth when the 20th lap was thrown on the marker's board. He, too, had permitted many hares to pass him. But experience, craftsmanship and iieauy driving brought its own reward, and gradually Wilcox, while the grand stand slowlv awakened to his perform ance, pulled up toward the demon Resta and finally landed in second place, the position he won in the Grand Prix. To a layman, -It is significant. In fair weather, as.it was today, and in foul weather, as it was when the Grand Prix was won, these two men Resta and Wilcox finished in the same order, first and second. Other cars finished as follows: Fifth, William Carlson; sixth. C. R. Newuouse; seventh. Barney Oldfield: eighth, Louis Disbrow: ninth. Hughie Hughes; tentn A. If. Klein: 11th, E. A. Ilearne: 12th, Thomas McKelvy; 13th, Gil Anderson, and Hth, Lou Gandy. It was a gruelling, heart-breaking race from start to finish. The pace set by the winner subjected the cars to a terrific strain, so that long before the finish less than half of those which answered the starter's call were left in the running. Every few minutes the pit men were called on to fix up the cars. Upsets were frequent, owing to the fact that the track was made slip pery by oil emanating from the speed ing cars. . Notwithstanding this, only one serl ous accident occurred, when Bob Bur man turned turtle on the right-angled turn at Machinery Hall. His mechani cian, Joe Cleary, is believed to have re ceived a broken thigh and may ba In ternally injured. Resta Makes Great Dunk During the first five laps Resta came up from the ruck and at the finish of the tenth lap was second, being led by a trifle more than a minute by Alley. He maintained this position until the twentieth lap, when he went into the lead, which he maintained to the end. Ruckstell. who was running a good safe third and seemed assured of that place, overturned at the Massachusetts building in the seventy-second lap, pushing Wilcox into second place. Pullen, who made a game fight for second place, was only nosed out after the seventieth lap, after a wonderfully maintained burst of speed by Wilcox. Pullen was picked for a second place and his removal was one of the sur prises of the race. Pullen easily was the favorite with the crowd, his dare devil driving bringing forth salvos of applause throughout the race. De Palma, who seemed to be out of the money, drove steadily and consist ently and crawled into fourth place, A wheel on Kennedy's car flew off Into the crowd and struck a man In the head. Neither ocupant of the car was injured and the wheel was re ninreri and Kennedy stayed in the race. The Injured man was unconscious and was taken to a hospital. HAP'S 3IEX STAGE HOT FINISH Venice Defeats Indianaixilis, 8 to 7, in First Game pf 1915 Season. SAN DTEGO, Cal.. March 6. (Special.) The first game in which Venice en gaged for 1915 saw the famous Hogan ninth-inning, hair-raising rally in evi dence. Venice today tamed the In dianapolis club, 8 to 7, in a game re plete with home runs, triples, doubles and measly singles. Captain Dicky Bayless. John Kane, Don Rader and Gustav Hetling were the principals in the little playlet en titled "Winning in the Ninth," which was staged at the expense of the gen tlemen from the Hoosier State. The Indians scored one in the first, Venice three in the third, Indianapolis another in the fourth and Venice a pair in that chapter. Indianapolis added one more for good count in session five, and duplicated in the seventh. Three more in the eighth made the outlook dubious, from a Venice standpoint. Ho gan's club put one over in this inning, and. holding the Hooslers scoreless in the' ninth, proceeded to ice the con test. The Indians made 13 hits and four boots, while the Venetians slammed out 14 where they weren't and misplayed on two separate and distinct occasions.

Telia of Grisly Game After Soldiers Pans. HICAGO, March 6. Willie Smith, e-olf nrofessional at the Mexico City Country Club, played a grisly game over the club links recently, according to some Mexico City correspondence to be published in the Chicago Tribune to morrow. Smith had a splendid game up lo the third hole, when he carried tiie bunker with his second shot. "'I had visions of a putt with my third, " said Smith. "But when he came up with the ball there was a dead soldier on the green between my ball and the hole. We dragged him off to one side, but 1 missed my putt. It's the first time I was ever stymied by a corpse. "From there on until the l-'tli every thing was as usual except that some of, the greens were badly cut up by the wheel tracks -of the cannon that had been hauled over them. On the 12th my drive landed near the right side of the fair green, about -00 yards down the course. Before I reached mv ball 1 saw my Mexican caddy grin ning. Imagine my surprise to find the ball tucked in between two shallow, newly made graves dead Carranza sol diers buried right there on t lie course. "That ended the game, as none of us wanted to play in a cemetery." Zapata soldiers, who had taken pos session of the club, drove Smith off the premises, he said, but before lie left he saw tiie women's locker-room broken open by Zapata's soldiers, who then distributed fancy golf skirts, shoes and sweaters among the women camp followers.

Wash., March 5. (Spe cial.) The Seattle Athletic Club will have a strong representation In both the Pacific Northwest amateur boxing championships at Spokane and the Na tional championships at San Francisco later in the season. Karl Halrd. Henry Gleason, Tommy Phelps and Archie Wyard are the ones most heard about, but Chet Mclntyre, who Is making a decided success of the Seattle Athletic Club boxing department, has other can didates that he is pushing to the front rapidly. One of the reasons Mclntyre Is meet ing with such mjcccss is that he mani fest.' as much interest In his boys a "setting" hen does over a bunch of eggs. The power to eommunlcute en thusiasm is a big asset in the reper toire of any artist, and Chet seems to have it in the superlative degree. The Seattle Athletic Club bunch visit ed Victoria Wednesday, where they met. the best lads of that city. They will not havo much of r rest, as they hook up with the stars from the Vancouver Commercial Club and the Victoria Island Athletic Club in Seattle Tuesday night. Outcome l-'nr l-'rom Foreseen. It is difficult to make any forecast of the outcome, as the matches look pretty even. The Seattle Athletic Club will send Henry Gleason Hgaiust ltud Soules. As Soules recently won a deci sion from Earl Halrd ho must be a good one. Chet Mclntyre said that, de spite the fact that he "hated" to have a decision against Halrd, he had to ad mit that the Vancouver judges were right on the Job and gave Soules credit for the lead he scored on points early ill the going. So far as the finish wu concerned, Mclntyre was of the opinion that Baird was the stronger. On this basis the outcome of the bout w-ill not have any serious effect on Baird's work, for Tuesday night Baird is paired with Al Davles, who Is the only Northwest boxer to get a deci sion over Baird strictly In his clan. Archie Wyard is to box Stanley Cle ment, one of the cleverest little fel lows in British Columbia. Flattering reports are being heaid about George Boss, the Vancouver featherweight. Across the line they pick him to win the Pacific Northwest amateur championship. Ross lost a de cision to Tommy Phelps, of the Seattle Athletic Club w hen he was new at the game, ami now he Is to receive another chance. Seattle linpresaen Johnaon. That Ban Johnson wai Impressed with Seattle on his first visit here w made evident by his remarks In Los Angeles to the effect that it wan a Class A A city. "It should bn In the Coast League," he said. "While ill Seattle 1 satisfied myself that it l A city which belongs In the (Vast League, and it would he a great mistake not to include It. Seattle pairs olf perfectly wlih Portland, and these two cittea would give the circiilt powei ful repre sentation at Its northern end." And then a Iis Angeles (.porting writer, who evidently knows little of baseball rules and regulation as ap plied to the rights ami powers of leagues remarks: "it is regarded here as almost eel -tain that the Coast l.eawue will ait on the suggestion of President Johnson and take Seattle unto Itself ill 19ll." The Coast League has a habit of "taking Seattle unto Itself" about once a year, but somehow or other the "tak ing" process falls short. The last tli'm the chestnut was being discussed the Coast League tried to create the Im pression that they did not want Seat tle. It is always a good Idea not lo want what you can't get. Leaving Seattle . wishes out of the matter entirely, Van couver, Victoria, Tacoma and Spokane would have .something to aV about the matter.
