NEW YORK, Dec. 30. An active year in sports under the jurisdiction of the Amateur Athletic Union Is forecast for 1917 in a statement Issued here today by F. W. Rubien, secretary-treasurer of the organization. "The varjous district associations re port 'an increase in the number of in door meets scheduled for the Winter "and keen competition will result," Mr. Rubien said. Best Athletes to Compete. "The indoor National championships take place In New York. March 17, and the best athletes in the country will compete. The outdoor National cham pionship, all-around championship and relay championships wlU take place at St. Louis In September and increased in terest In that section of the country Is looked for. St. Louis plans to make these championships the equal of any held heretofore and owing to its central location it will be possible for athletes from any part of the country to take the trip In a few days. "International boxing win take place ns the result of an invitation from the Scandinavian countries and it is likely that the winners of the National boxing championships to be held at Boston In March will be selected to represent this country. Visit Abroad Helps. "The small team of track athletes consisting of Meredith, toomis, Simp son. Murray and Ward, made a very favorable impression abroad and an other team will be sent to represent America this Summer; if it is found im possible for the Scandinavian athletes to leave their countries on account of military duty. These countries deserve great credit for their Initiative In in viting our prominent athletes to visit them and ur boys appreciate the splen did reception accorded them abroad." Baseball Brevities. THERE will be a dispute over woman's rights If Mrs. Helen Hathaway Brltton hooks someone for $300,000 for the Cardinals. "Tub" Spencer, the Detroit catcher, has been signed by Manager Joe Aur recoeehea, of Santa Clara College, to officiate as baseball coach of the Mis sion team. "Tub" will give up his berth In a San Francisco department store and repair to Santa Clara on January 5 to take up his new duties. Spencer also will assist in shaping up the basketball squad. Efforts are being made to sign Otto Fretch, who has handled Manual Arts, Pomona and other Southern California quintets, but if he is not secured Tub will step in and do the work, as he has had some experience In that line, as well as on tlie diamond. Manager Aurrecoechea is pleased with "the acquisition of the Detroit receiver. He explains that the Mission balltossers were anxious to have a catcher on hand to tell them the fine points of the game, and that is the reason Justin Fitzgerald, the Seal outfielder, who gave satisfaction last Spring, was not re-engaged. There are some promising pitchers on the Santa Mara sfluad whom Spencer hopes to de velop. Fitzpatrick, the Rugby star, who has been playing the outfield, will attempt to win spurs as a hurler. Then there are Hickey, Leonard and O'Nell. An extensive schedule of games will be mapped out for the team. A re quest has been made for two games with the Chicago Cubs at San Jose, and it Is practically settled that contests will be staged with the Seals. A series with Portland at Sacramento and the usual meetings with Stanford, California and Southern California are in sight. At the conclusion of last sea son. Santa Clara made a successful trip to Honolulu, and it is possible that an other trip will be arranged for the quad. Spencer will remain with the team as coach until March 1, when he will go East to report to Detroit. A flock of young players will be given an opportunity to show their worth at the Spring training camps of the Coast League teams. This will be due to J. Cal Ewing's rule that each club must carry four of the 18 limit who have less than a full sea son In the majors or Class AA leagues. Of course It does not necessarily specify that the players must be bustl ers, as recruits can be gathered from Class A and leagues of lower classifi cation, but the managers, in the main, will attempt to pick up talent off the sandlots. The Oaks have" tendered an offer to Bobby Meusel, a star outfielder of Los Angeles and a brother of Irish Meusel. Portland is also after the busher. The Angels have lined up "Lefty" McMoran, a Pomona high school twirler, and will give him a trial. Other man agers will get busy and start book ing youngsters. The rule will have the effect of elim inating a number of veterans. W Iter McCredie has promised to give Pitcher Spec Harkness a chance to "come back." but he has now notified Spec that, un der the conditions, there will be no room for experiments, as the time will be spent in developing younger talent. Members of the celebrated baseball team of the Twenty-fifth Infantry (colored) will arrive in San Francisco from Honolulu on one of the transports March 12. and the club manager has requested AI Erie, of Spalding & Bros.. to book games for them. The team pi a us to remain on the Coast for sev eral weeks, and is anxious to schedule as many games as possible. Club own ers desiring contests can get In touch with Erie. Rogan, the pitcher of the Twenty-fifth team, who is reported as being the strength of the line, will be one of the stars. This is the one team that registered a win against Swain's All-Americans while the boys were on their recent trip, and all along has been held the toughest club In Hono lulu to beat. Walter Schmidt, former seal catcher, who was with Pittsburg last season, has been offereflV. along with cash to the Angels In trade for Johnny Bass ler. 0vner Johnny Powers has given out the news, and Manager Frank 'hance is considering the proposition. The chances are not bright for ac ceptance. Bassler is considered more valuable and is a better prospect for sale or trade. Schmidt had only Indif ferent" success with the Pirates, al though he Is con.-idered a heady re volver that any Coast manager would jump at taking. .

Wj: GOLF WIDER IS ROY Ym& ' flB 8f Atlanta Puts Forth Lad of 17 Who Beats Bobby Jones. PRESC0TT WEIGHS 150 LBS. Georgia Stars Work TJp Rather Neighborly Affair All Over South Proteges Are Springing 1'p and Allowed to Kipen. ATLANTA, Ga.. Dec. 30. (Special.) Help! Bring on reinforcements. At lanta has another boy wonder, who, in the recent city golf championships "hammered the wadding" out of the now famous Bobby Jones. The new wonder's name Is Tom Prescott and he is only 17 years of age, just two : j older than Bobby. He Is the same age as Perry Adair. Bobby came Into National prominence during the annual National amateur golf championship, when he made the ooys sit up and take notice by his sen-1 sational playing. Now that another boy lias come forward and trimmed Bobby, it looks as though Atlanta has come to stay on the golf map for some years to come. Prescott weighs but 150 pounds, the same avoirdupois as claimed by young Jones. He promises even to be more of a whale of a youth and he has been Playing but two seasons. Adair, Sr., says that when Tom Isn't over at Per ry's domicile. Perry can be found at Tom's home. Golf here is certainly a neighborhood affair. Tom put Bobby out of the running, but Perry eliminated Tom from further competition. Perry succeeded his fath er, who twice won the city men's golf title. As the city contest Is only three years old, Adair is the' only name that graces the handsome silver trophy sym bolic of the championship. Outsiders cannot be blamed for thinking that family has a chattel mortgage on the silverware. All over the South golfing prodigies are springing up like weeds. With their golfers, like watermelons, the Southern policy is to pick 'em green and allow them to ripen in transit. Fourteen-year-old Pollock Boyd, Chattanooga, wno oegan tnree years afro wttn toy clubs, lives across the street from the Country Club, just one drive and a put. Jack Tarrant, of San Antonio, is but 15, like George. Clarence Mangham is another coming Texan, almost a vet eran. Inasmuch as he is 18 years old now. He set the gallery a-tingle In the qualifying rounds of the Western championships. New Orleans has the youngest candidate of all, Sidney Le gendre, 2 years old. who made Maine resorters, last Summer, sit up and take immediate notice. The tlrst kindergar ten class in golf now will step for ward, please. Even Miss Alexa Stirling, the wom en's National champion. Is not without rivals at home. Mrs. Thomas Paine, runner-up in the last Southern titles, has so many trophies her home looks like' a silversmith's display-room. And such is golf In the South. Dallas Quintet Plays Tonight.

TO MEET Oregon Game Shooters' Asso ciation to Be Formed. LAW CHANGES WILL BE UP Game Commission's Edict Putting End to Duck Hunting in Multno mah. Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook to Be Discussed. To organize the Oregon Game Shoot ers' Association and to discuss certain proposed changes In the present state game laws, which will be brought be fore the next Legislature, about 500 sportsmen of Multnomah County will attend a meeting to be held In the Rosarian room of the Commercial Club next Thursday night commencing at 8 o'clock. Walter Honeyman took the initiative and called the meeting. What caused the gathering more than anything else is the announcement from the State Fish and Game Commission that the duck shooting In Multnomah, Clatsop. Columbia and Tillamook coun ties will close at sundown tonight. The season is being closed in ac cordance with the state law, although the Federal law reads that shooting can continue in all parts of the state until January 15. Under ordinary con ditions there is no good shooting after the first of the year, but this season Is an exception and the boys would have been able to get in a couplekf good outings before the time set foclosing by the Federal law, January 16. Many Portland sportsmen say that as Carl D. Shoemaker, State Game Warden, opened the season under the Federal law, he should close It accordingly. The state law provides that the season in Multnomah. Clatsop. Columbia and Til lamook counties shall open September 1. while the Federal law does not au thorize shooting until October 1. There is practically no shooting, until October 1 anyway. The purpose of the Oregon Game Shooters" Association, according to those behind its organization, will be to bring the hunters closer to tho Mult nomah Anglers' Club and the Salmon Club of Oregon and eventually to se cure for the hunters a better represen tation In the Oregon Sportsmen's are approximately 7500 hunt ers in Multnomah County. All are re quested to attend Thursday nlghVs meeting, when officers will be elected. Carl D. Shoemaker, State Game War NIMRODS Len Myers, chairman of the regatta Club, announced that more than a the first annual midwinter regatta den, has Issued a warning to all duck hunters in Multnomah, Clatsop, Colum bia and Tillamook counties against shooting after sundown tonight. Every one caught doing so will be arrested. The first one arrested will be tried Tuesday morning. This' will serve as a test case. All Portland sportsmen wishing to shoot after sundown today will be forced to go outsiae of the four coun ties which the state law shuts down on tonight. Hundreds of Portland hunters will be after ducks today desuite the cold weather. Guy Talbot. David Honey man. Walter Honeyman, Dr. DefWItt Connell, Charles Htnman and Dr. Mil lard C.

If the re"port that John Dubuc has passed from Detroit to the minora is true, the American League has lost the champion slow ball pitcher of the uni verse. Dubuc was one pitcher who really had a slow ball, one a trifle slower, and still one slower yet. He could mix up this assortment so scientifically that be was a mighty hard man to beat. Last season John seemed to have but one grade of a slow ball, and it suffered. Often a batter would lunge at two slow ones and miss them by a wide margin, only to hit the third one asalnst the fence. When some one expressed surprise that a batter could be twice fooled so badly and then whale the third one, Dubuc philosophically re plied: "When you continue to throw nothing but slow balls, the batter Is bound to hit on or them, if he will just continue to swing."

August Herr mann, president of the Cincinnati Na tionals, will undoubtedly be re-elected chairman of the National Baseball Commission at its meeting In Cincin nati next Tuesday, President Johnson, of the American League, said today. "I can see no reason for a change In the personnel of the commission de spite reports that there probably will be a change." Mr. Johnson said. Mr. Johnson also indicated that the minor leagues would be granted the right to present their cases to the commission In the future. These organizations have not had this privilege in the past.

EARL COOPER'S Stutz. dogged from stsrt to finish by a alnfster dark shadow, won the champlonahlp race at the Ascot Speedway. Los Ange les, Christmas day. Ana the shadow was not death, hard luck, tire trouble or anything like that it was Eddie Pullen bestride a blood-red Mercer, see "Baseball is going to thuh dogs, I tell ya," said one of the fellows around at the Hot Stove Club yesterday. "Look at It now. and then what It usta be. Why, not so .very long ago there were 40 or 50 minor circuits, and now how many are they? Yuh could a'most count 'em on your fingers. Some of 'em barely managed to get through the season, and some of 'em didn't. Even as big a circuit as the Western Lesgue, which usta be almost on a par with the National, just did akld through by switching one of Its cluba. An' look at Troy and Albany big towna couldn't support a class B outfit. Why. Troy usta be In tha Na tional league, and so did Worcester, where the club didn't pay expenses laat year. Montreal, with raore'n half a million people won't support an International club. An' look at the Southern League attendance flgurea. An" Denver why. they say the umpires outnumbered the spectators some days. I can remember when some of- the Pennsylvania mining towns paid their Independent clubs more money in a month than they can pay all the play ers of a league in a season now. Th' game Is going to thuh canines. I tell ya." Thinklivg it over, there ts more or less truth in this, but It Is only half truth. A fan doesn't have to be so very old to recall the time when the South ern League couldn't play out its sea son for lack of support. It wasn't so many ages ago when the Toronto club, now a valuable possession, could have been bought for "a plugged nickel." The present Western League has had hard aleddlng at times, but tho old Western League Is still prospering, for It Is now Byron Bancroft John son's U'l old American League. Yet It must bo admitted that there is a lot of room for improvement In tho minor league situation. In the smaller cltlea the spirit of sportmanshlp and civic pride that led the citizens to support league clubs seems to bo gradually dying out. Those Pennsylvania cities that paid such big salaries to their clubs In tho old days didn't get tho money at tho" gate the "sltaons" dug t Accordinir to Les Darcy himself he will be able to etep "some" over the ten-round route in tshls country. He Is quoted in New York as follows: "I do not think yoir ten-round limit over here will have any effect on my boxing, for I travel at the same pace In all my bouts, and 10 or 20 rounds will make no difference. I am In good condition right now, and could engage In a lout with three weeks training or less. I have never required more than 14 days of actual training in Australia. Over there, though, we loafed a lot between flghta. but then we fought more often than here. I do not know who will be my flrat op ponent, but I think I will meet Georga Chip again before leaving- the country. He has cabled me requesting a match." In February the schedule) committees of the major leagues wiU gather in New York to map out the 1917 sched ule. This is expected to consume some time, but is somewhat important In that opening days In the various cities will be allotted and a majority of fans always are anxious to know which entry begins the season on the home lots. Thus far the International League hae steadfastly refused to obey the National Commission In Its ruling that they must pay C. Hercules Ebbets S9000. However, the silence being maintained Just now gives rise to the belief that some adjustment of this can be brought about. THIRD GAME iS SOUGHT OREHON CITY ELEVEN WOULD MEET COLUMBIA PARK. Manager Smith Claims Independent CaaniplonahJp of State Despite Drfeat by One Point. OREGON CITY. Or.. Dec. 30. (Spe cial.) "The Oregon City Football As sociation still claims the football championship of the state and wants to play Columbia Park, of Portland, a third time," Harry G. Smith, president of the association and manager of the team, said tonight. "The members of tho Oregon City Athletic Association and the football fans of Oregon ,Clty are not satisfied with the deal handed them by Colum bia Park three weeks ago." reads a statement made by Mr. Smith. "It was almost impossible to get games for my team and in order to get a date with Columbia Park we had to agree to play a light team and all the second-string men on the squad, so that Columbia Park would be able to put up a good game. "The first game was a scoreless tie: tho second game both teams made a touchdown, but Oregon City failed to kick goal, thus giving Columbia Park victory. "Oregon City still claims the state championship and in order to prove their riKht will agree to play the same lineup on a neutral field. To make it worth while we will put up a purse of 31000 as a side bet to be covered by Columbia Park, the winners to get the purse. "Columbia Park has no grounds to claim the championship, as they are not an organized club this year, merely a hunch gotten together to win some thing that does not Justly belong to them." The scheduled Sunday game between the locals and the Army team at Van couver, Wash., has been canceled by the manager of the barracks eleven. BAKER TO CATCH FOJt SEALS Detroit Manager Probably Will Re lease Him After Training. DETROIT. Dec 30. Thirty-three players are- expected to compose the Detroit American League baseball squad which will start Spring training at Waxahachle. Tex., early In March. Tho official roster of the club, made public tonight, indicated that Manager Jennings would look over the largest band of recruits he has ever tried out. It is urderstood that neither Catcher Del Baker nor Frank Fuller, utility In fielder, will train with the Detroit Club. Baker will probably be released to Ban Francisco and Fuller also is to be let out to minor league club. Manager Jennings and President Na vln have decided upon a training trip which will be radically different from any 'the Detroit club has ever taken. No games will be scheduled with weak minor league clubs, but a series of ex hibition contests with the New Fork Nationala will bo played in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. )1I;TZ WILL LEAVE FVLLMAX Football Coach Hope to Laiul $A000 Job With Carlisle.
