BT ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Except for pitchers, the Pacific Coast
League clubs are practically ready to
start the 1916 season. Most of the
twirling staffs are ship-shape and it is
almost certain that at least one new
dabster will be added by each manager
either before April 4 or soon after
wards. Oakland. San Francisco find Venice
appear to be more nearly prepared as
to pitchers than Portland, Salt .Lake or
Los Angele3.
Oakland has Klamitter, Pruiett, Boyd
and Beer, of last year's dependables,
besides big Prough, who did not have a
pood season, and a list of promising re
cruits. Callahan la on Oaks' 1.1st.
Among them is Southpaw Callahan,
who tried out with the Beavers last
year. Callahan is said to have mas
tered a good curve ball last year

San Francisco has its same old staff
practically intact. Steen, is holding out,
but his argument with the club ove
salary doubtless will be smoothed ove
ere long. With Fanning. Baum, Steen,

Vernon has Southpaw Hltt. Decan
niere, Fromme and Johnson as main
stays, with Mitchell, another holdover,
and Arrelanes, former Sacramento
right hander. and Otto Hess, of Boston
as newcomers. Hess is an old bird
but Patterson has a hunch he may
be able to get his second wind on th
Coast.
Walter McCredie professes to be well
satisfied with his Portland pitching
corps, but it is known that he has
been pulling tooth and nail to get
Harstad from Cleveland. This is prima
iacie evidence that he is not wholly
sausiiea.
Noycs ought to prove a highly capa

late last Fall from Spokane and won
one game and lost one.
McCredie Haa Two Veterans.
Lush and Higginbotham are the sole
veterans, as AlcCredie haa sold Krause,
Kahler and Coveleskie. Sothoron, of
Wichita, is the only new slabster of

Beautiful Weather Attracts Big:
Gallery Course Is Laid
With Several Jumps.
Miss Mabel Lawrence, on Sheila, cap
tured first honors in the first closed
paper chase of the Portland Hunt Club
for the 1916 season held yesterday
afternoon. It was a close finish with
Sheldon A. Volkman. on Kitty Story,
in second place and Eugene K. Oppen-
heimer. on Nakomis. next in line.
Chester G. Murphy, on his mount, was
barely nosed out of third place.
The day was almost perfect for a
good chase, alt'aough a slight Dreeze
was blowing at the finish, making it
just cold enough to be pleasant. The
course laid out by Miss Edla Wallin
and Miss Laura Hamblet covered a
picturesque part of the country be
tween Bertha Station and Garden Home
on the Oregon Electric. Several Jumps
and blinds were offered to the con
testants before the straightaway was
reached.
Harry M. Kerron, master of hounds
of the Portland Hunt Club, had charge
of the affair. More than 20 riders
participated. Miss Lawrence, Mrs.
ames Murphy and Mrs. Natt McDougall
were the only women who rode
through.
The big open chase of the Portland
Hunt Club will be held Tuesday after

NCE upon a time there lived at
Seattle-on-the-Sound a mighty
football coach who for eight seasons
did not taste of defeat. But being hu
man, he could not stand prosperity. He
grew fat and chesty and began to long
for other worlds to conquer.
So he said to the athletic board:
"Give me that which is mine and I
will go hence and coach no more.
And sorrowfully they yielded and
bade him a reluctant farewell.
And not many days afterward, he de
parted for the land of Sunkist and
dwelt among the Califs.
After trying in vain to obtain a posi
tion with two large institutions of the
mid-West, he began to reflect on his
former glory and, being bitten of many
fleas, he determined to return to his
former haunts.
So he arose and returned to Seattle-
6n-the-Sound, and when he was yet a
great distance off. President Suzzalo
and the members of the athletic coun
cil went forth to meet him. and the
prodigal son was restored to his throne.
Thus endeth the first chapter in the
reign of King Dobie.
EX-PITCHER IS MOVIE ACTOR
Louis Durham, One Time in Coast
Circuit, Hears Call of Films.
LOS ANGELES. Cal., Feb. 19. Follow
ers of Coast League affairs in its "out
law" days who remember Louis
("Bull") Durham, a pitcher on various
clubs then comprising the circuit, will
aououess De interesatea in the an
nouncement conveying the news that
the ex-twirler is now appearing in mo
tion pictures.
Durham came to the Coast League in
1905. jumping the Brooklyn club, with
which he had made his big-league
debut the year before. He played with
the so-called "outlaw" organization for
three seasons, then joined the Wash
ington American League club, which.
after a season, turned him over to In
dianapolis of the American Associa
tion. With the Hoosiers he made an
excellent record, and, on the strength
of it, was signed by Manager McGraw,
of the Giants. He wore a New York
uniform from 1909 to 1911. when he
suffered an injury to his pitching arm.

BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 19. (Spe
cial.) The word must have passed out
to grapplers on the mat that San
Francisco is the mecca for wrestlers.
Otherwise, it is hard to explain the
influx of men of all nationalities who
want good bouts and boost themselves
to Uie skies. They are coming in by
every train, with all manner of rec
ords, and there is no telling when the
pilgrimage is going to stop.
Ad Santel, who is Ad Ernst in pri
vate life, is really responsible for the
new lease of life that has come to the
wrestlers, although the fact that San
tel and Frank Gotch, retired heavy
weight champion of the world, are
booked to appear in a handicap match
soon", has done a good deal to announce
to the outside world that we are in the
market for good athletes of that sport.
Santel Wins Consistently.
Santel came here practically six
months ago, when the boxing game
was rather tottering on its slender
foundation and with the wrestling
game worse than dead. For a starter,
Santel wrestled and threw Peter Bu
zukos. Since that time he has been
winning consistently, until he has come
to be more or less of a hero.
Frank Schuler, former boxing pro
moter, feared the fight game was to
pass into oblivion and nursed along
the wrestlers, until he really has a
sport that more than pays for Itself.
His bouts have showed an increased
attendance and it has finally come
to the point when Gotch can be handed
a fat guarantee with the expectations
on the part of the promoter of mak
ing something for himself.
Rivalry for Time Evident.
As a matter of fact, it looked for
some time as if the rivalry existing
between Schuler and Harry Foley.
fight promoter who wanted to play
with the wrestlers, would kill off the
bis" match.
Schuler had originally offered Gotch
$1000 for a bout and he was arguing
with Santel' as to what the latter was
to receive. That was where Foley
stepped in and grabbed the match. He
promised Gotch J2000, so the story goes.
and agreed to guarantee Santel iu,
with the privilege of taking 30 per
cent of the receipts.
Just when it looked as if Schuler
was down and out there came a swift
change. Schuler, by some expert work
and a display of speed, leased the Ex
position Auditorium out from under
Foley's nose for the afternoon of Wash
ington's birthday.
Foley Left In Bad Shape.
This left Foley in bad shape, for the
Auditorium is the only hall with a suf
ficiently large seating capacity to per
mit the big guarantees that have been
promised.
On top of that, the newspapers and
the fans were commencing to complain
of the wrangling and jangling be
tween the promoters and hinted that
if they couldn't get together it might
be as well to stop the game confpletely.
Schuler and Foley, being wise in their
years, acted on the suggestion and as
result of a compromise they will
promote this contest between them.
Gotch, who is getting ready for a
Summer's work with a circus, meeting
all comers, and preparing, as well, for
return to ring work, has agreed to
attempt to throw Santel twice within
an hour. Gotch, of course, has the
advantage in weight, as he tips the
beam at something like 220 against
1S5 pounds for his opponent.
Same Two Have Met Twice Before.
Twice before the same two have met.
Once, some six years ago, Gotch threw
Santel within a 20-minute limit Sev
eral months later, the world's cham
pion failed to throw Santel in the same
length of time.
Gotch, having been away from the
sport for some length of ' time, can
hardly have shown improvement.- San
tel, on the other hand, has gained in
experience and somewhat in weight
until he is what Charlie Cutler, former
world's title holder, declares Is the
best 185-pound man in this country.
Prices have been boosted for this
fight. The bleacherites will be forced
to fork over $1 per for the privilege
of viewing the battle at long range.
while the best seats will stand the
holders $5 a throw.
These figures don't come up to the
big prizefights that we formerly had,
but for all that they are fairly stiff
and show that wrestling, if it is con
ducted anywhere nearly on the square,
will replace the squared circle.
No swell store fronts no elaborate fixtures no Iarpe electric signs
no high rent on the ground floor I cut out these expensive items and
save you $5.00 to $10.00 on your new Spring Suit.

TRAPSHOOTIXG. gaining by leaps
and bounds in the affections of
American sportsmen, had its greatest
year in 1915.
In no other year were there so many
meritorious performances, or so many
noteworthy features. Every champion
ship tourney had more entrants than
in other seasons, and the 839 entrants
in the Grand American nearly doubled
the list of contestants in any previ
ous American championship.
The advancement of tiapshooting.
however, was noticed in other ways
than in the Increase in members. Wool-
folk Henderson, of Lexington. Ky.,
established a new high-water mark for
amateur shooters to try for when he
amassed the remarkable average of
97.53. and two gunners had runs of over
300. the best shooting In a half dozen
years.' In passing it might be added
that this is the second successive year
that Henderson has been high gun
among the amateurs.
In compiling this remarkable aver
age Henderson broke 2731 of 2S00 tar
gets. No other amateur ever did so
well and only two professionals have
bettered these figures. William H.
Heer. in 1910. averaged 97.75. and Will-
lam R. Crosby, in 1912, averaged 97.U0.
lioth of these shooters, however, were
only charged with shooting at 2000 tar
gets. The best previous amateur rec
ord was made by J. S. Day in 1910. He
shot at 42S0 targets and averaged 97.28.
Twenty amateur shooters hailing
from all points of the United States
averaged better than 94 per cent for
2000 or more targets and the profes
sionals, as might be expected, did even
better. 38 of them averaging over 94
per cent, and 12 of the number better
ing 96 per cent.
Charles A. Spencer's average of 97.50
Is remarkable, as he shot at more
than 5000 targets 5620 to be exact.
This average is really better than the
marks of Heer and Crosby, for it must
be remembered that Spencer shot at
nearly three times as many targets.
Lester German's run of 372 consecu
tive breaks in the Westy Hogan's tour
nament in Atlantic City last Fall was
the largest straight run of the year, i
The next best was 312. by I. J. Holland,
the amateur champion of Missouri. He
made this run in the Missouri state
tournament last August.
The record for consecutive hits is
565. and was made by Charles A.
Spencer, this year's high average pro
fessional champion, in Illinois, in 1909.
The amateur . record for consecutive
breaks is 417, and was made by Jay R.
Graham in Chicago. 111., in 1D10. While
the runs of German and Holland are
not records, one cannot deny that they
are exceptionally good.
When Guy Deering, of Columbus,
Wis., averaged 90 on doubles, he set the
best mark. that has ever been made by J
an amateur during the eight years of
competition.
A brief review of the year brings to
mind many interesting things. Louis B.
Clarke, a Chicago banker, won the
grand American handicap after a four-
cornered shootoff with M. E. Dowlre,
of Hamilton. Ind.; J. J. Randall, of
Greensburg, Kan., and C. C. Hickman, I
of Yeoman. Ind. Clarke broke ;n
straight in the shootoff. The winner
was unheard of until he won the trap
