AX IS LIGHT ON SEALS Many Switchew In Harry Wolverton'a Clianiplonshlp Xlos Not Expexrt- cd Team AVI II Be Kept Down to the 17-Man Limit. BY HARRT B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO. CaL. Dec 28. (Special.) Two or more week at the outside -will see the baseball pot once more bailing:, this time turning out material that will make up the Pacific Coast League for 1916. As a matter of fact, never haa local baseball been so much at a atandstill aa during; this present Winter In San Francisco. There haa been little or nothing worth the mention, so far as new moves are concerned, and largely what the sporting writer have handed the public baa been largely "made" news. And. deep down In my heart, there Is a suspicion that Henry Berry and his associate managers have decreed that such should be the case. Last Winter there was the all-absorbing problem of the sale of the Seals to this same Berry that occupied atten tion. -Once the sale was made offi cially, followed the gossip of what Berry would do with the club and bow It would be lined up. ovlcee to Be Tried Oat. But Judging from indication here and there. Berry Is shrewd enough to realize that the fans are In need of a rest after the long season, and he has been -bent on taking: their minds, so far aa possible, off the subject of the National pastime. The San Francisco owner has devoted much of his time with his family- In Los Angeles, and Harry Wolverton has been hidden away In the mountains down in Los Angelea. making only an occasional trip to this city. With the coming of the first of the year, however, there will be the gath ering of the clans for the schedule meeting and talk of the lineups of the different teams. So fur as the San Francisco cham plons are concerned. It doesn't look that IVolverton will make many switches In his lineup. He haa already declared his intention of keeping his team down to 17 men during the bulk of the aeason. and says, further, that he will not take more than 24 into training camp, which number will In clude several novices who are to be tried out more for the future than for the Immediate present. Chaasee la Squad Expected. The boss of the Seals also has told us that he expects to make a couple of changes In his squad by releasing or trading players on the club. The hand of suspicion points to Pitcher Tiller ravet. Outfielder Paul Meloan and Bill Leard as those most likely to feel the. trouble. Cavet didn't make rood on his Eastern reputation in any degree last season, and it Is hard to see why he should be retained. MeloaJt w as more or less mediocre in his performance, and they do say that Leard was a disappointment to Wol verton. who w-as expecting some bril liant workefrom his intielder. By cutting off these men he win have a chance to annex some new ones. As rou likely know, he will get a couple of players from the St. Louis Cardinals In exchange for Roy Corhan. who ia going up to the national Lea. cue. Miller Hugglns has been communicat ing with Wolverton on the point, but ui to the present time has not signified Just what particular players are likely to be turned over. It is probable that Wolverton will Intimate whether he wants Inflelders or pitchers and wait for Sprlna to land the individuals. Sammy Bohne Ia Mentioned. Sammy Bohne, the California boy who had a twirl with the White Sox last season in the Spring and then went to the Western League, is figured aa having a "right smart chance" to make the shortstop Job. Reports from the Imperial Valley, where he is play ing ball, say that he is not only doing some remarkable fielding, but is hitting better than his usual standard. If Bohne can come to tne rescue ana in any wi fill the shoes of the Albuquerque farmer, then Wolverton can plug up some of the other holes. I No more than two catchers will be used, and from appearances Louis Sepulveda and Walter Block are se lected for the work. Chick Autrey looks a cinch to land the first-base lob. Jerry Downs will likely be at second, and as Detroit decided not to tske Duckey Jones, the l nion Associa lion boy will be at the third sack. :ood Pitching; Man on Hand. Bodie. Schaller and Fitzgerald look good as the outfield regulars, and w ol verton haa a good pitching staff with which to start the year's work. So his task of building up his club is a com paratively easy one. There has been a aeai ot taiK arioui the way the various clubs owners will respect the new salary limit that was Imposed at the last annual meeting. Henrv Berry was pointed out recently as one owner who would be likely to lau-rh at the regulations. But Berry -44 LIU says he proposes to stick by the ruling and to keep his club within the stated IloOO a month. "I am not going to cheat," declared Berry the other day, "and I want to go further and say if any club owner in the league thinks he is going to disobey our order, I am going to make it hot for htm personally and see that the fine of $100 a day is imposed. "That was my suggestion at the meeting, and I think It Is a, good one. W e entered into such an understand tng. and there is no reason why we shouldn't live up to our obligations." Hlsh-Salaried Flayera Signed. It is freely whispered that of all the clubs the Vernon Tigers will have the toughest time getting down to the limit, Ed Maier has signed up a lot of high-salaried ball players, and his salary troll is bound to mount up In consequence. For instance, it is ru mored that Pete Daly, the ex-ftew york American, will receive S500 a year, which means 1500. That lops Just a ninth off the Maier financial limit to start with, and if there are any more ball players get ting that sort 0t money Maier will have to round out his club with cheap youngsters or take the consequences. Maier, as a matter of fact, wanted to raise the salary limit instead or reducing It, and it is said the reason he walked out of the annual conclave in a huff was because the other direc tors outvoted him on that score. Prohibition Real Blow to . Coos Bay Bohemian. Dr. W. B. Haydon'a I nlque Little Dea. Haven of Many Weary Trav eler, to Be Blotted Out. MAHSHFLELD. Or.. Dec. 2S. (Spe cial.) One of the unique places In Oregon will lose an Important source f its charm when January first cur tails the -privilege of liquor supplies. Dr. W. B. Haydon's Bohemian den has been the gathering place of good fel lows in Marshfleld for 15 years, and scarcely a traveling man . who has made Coos Bay is unacquainted with the hospitality the place always held out to the visitor. Good eats and liquors in quantities to suit have al ways been the attractions of Dr. Hay don's home for the lame -duck or the millionaire. Everybody looks alike to Dr. Haydon, except the fellow in hard luck always had a little the better of the break. Dr. Haydon is a graduate of Oxford University and has had children born under three flags. He was surgeon on a whaler for several years, and, in knocking about the world, has gathered a fund of information exceeded by but few men, and is known by every friend and acquaintance as a man with un usual viewpoints on life' His particular characteristic is his fellow-feeling for those who have tastes allied to his, or who show any originality in thought or deed. Dr. Haydon is a scientist, and pays more attention fo botany and geology than other branches. He has a collec tion of fauna and fossils which is the only complete one of specimens found in Coos County. Through this line of endeavor he has made acquaintances throughout the coast region among college scientists who have visited Coos Bay for pursuits of collecting, and his classifications are found in Washing ton. D. C. the University of Washing ton, tne University of Oregon, Stanford, San Diego University, and the Albany, New York, Museum. Decrying the fate that removes drinking from among bis amusements. Dr. Haydon looks upon the new law as a spoliation of personal rights. GIRL KIDNAPED IN AUTO Victim Chloroformed by Abductor ami Left Helpless by Roadside. NEW YORK. Dec. 19. The mystery as to the identity of the girl found uncon scious at the roadside in Rockville Cen ter. Long Island, was cleared today. Dr. I. Ensor Hutcheson, into whose house she was carried, made it known that she was Miss Louise Bommer, daughter of Emil Bommer. a wealthy Brooklyn steel manufacturer. She is 17 years old. The girl told a remarkable story to day of having been forced into an au tomobile . while on her way home on Monday afternoon from Adelphia Acad emy, where she is a student. Her ab ductor chloroformed her. she declared. Then, having discovered she was not the person he wanted, he left her beside the road, many miles from home, but in a place where she soon would be found.

Tommy Burns, the promoter, today notified Tom Andrews, his local representative, that he desired to call the bout off. Andrews told Burns such a move would be a serious mistake. Andrews also said that if the New Orleans promoter decided not to stage the match, he (Andrews) would gladly take over the project by offering the boxers a purse of 125,000 for a ten round bout during the first week in February. "It would be a serious mistake for Burns to drop the project," said An drews tonight. "Fulton is the best of the heavyweight challengers today. The proposed substitution of Frank Moran for Fulton would be a poor one. Moran has refused to meet Fulton. "The bout was made in good faith. Both men have posted with me forfeits of $2500. "The promoters have as yet failed to post their money of similar amount with Bob Vernon, New York. "I am certain that Tom Jones, Wil lard's manager, and Mike Collins, man ager for Fulton, will not stand for any cancellation or substitution. "It would be an injustice to Mike Collins to call the match off, for Collins has refused offers amounting to $10,000 to have Fulton meet Jim Coffey and other boxers since signing up with Wil lard."

France, of course, has the compul sory service and there is no golfer of prominence not on activa service. Where, as at La Boulie, it required the services of from seven to 10 pro fessionals a day, now can be seen but one, incapacitated, who, with an assist ant, tries to keep in trim the grass long since turned brown, and the greens with the touch of the Winter's frost.
