' Before coming here Bonds beat Carl Morris In Kansas City, and Battling Jim John son, the negro heavyweight. "Instead of keeping his man under cover. Kearns now realizes that he made the mistake of turning him loose In one of the local gymnasiums. Every body got a flash at the big fellow boxfhg, and now all the heavies are passing him up. Billy Gibson has de clined to match Jim Coffey with him. according, to Kearns, because he "re gards Bonds as being too tough, and Gunboat Smith went sick just as a match with Bonds looked promising. "Kearns says he has written all over regarding matches for Bonds, barring nobody, black or white. He has asked Jack McGuigan, of Philadelphia, to get Ram Lang-ford, H'arry Wills or Joe Jeanette for him. Kearns is enthus iastic over Bonds. He thinks he can beat any of the big fellows. "Kearns is the man who thought he was going to manage Les Darcy in this country. He has a stack of letters from the Australian, written from the Antipodes, all dealing with Kearns as his prospective manager during his tour here. Kearns says that, despite these, Darcy turned him down cold on his arrival here," Yes, Clarice, this Is the same Joe Bonds who gladly boxed Farmer Burns here a couple of times late last Fall. He halls from Tacoma, and it is re , corded that he procured a 15-round de cision over Battling Jim Johnson at Boise right after he left here. With Lowe Simms due in New York pretty quick. Bonds should have one opponent at least. If he beats Lowe, Farmer Burns might go back and see old Broadway. ' Baseball Brevities. BILLY MASCOTT ILLUSTRATES HIS THREE BEST PUNCHES.

There were several players on the Port land club last season who woulo be at home in a Midnight Son League. Pearl Casey has been speaking plain English since retiring from umpiring. H But now that he may be an indicator man for Prexy Baum again this season, he'll probably soon forget it. The Cubans are said to have become so infatuated with hoss racing that they have lost their enthusiasm for base ball, which for several years nourished In the i-land. Baseball magnates ought to have a foreign missionary to look after all such matters. Big League Chatter. ACCORDING to a well-known Cub pitcher, the market price of Pack ard 3 has had a falling off this year. Aside from the fact that nearly all the ballplayers think Mr. Fultz is a pieface, there Is every indication that the baseball strike will be a grand success. It will be the more remarka ble because, according to present in dications, most of the strikers will not be striking. Dave Fultz played baseball In the American League for a number of years, finishing up with the Yankees. Frank Gilhooley, the outfielder who broke his leg last Summer and failed to stick through the season with the Yankees, is in fine shape and ready to do his share for Bill Donovan. The controversy between President Percy Haughton, of the Braves, and "Rabbit" Maranville is causing Boston fans no lttle worry. Without the shortstop the Nationals would be no where in the race. The American Federation of Labor Is willing to give the players moral sup port in their fight against the Iron heel of the tyrannical club owners. Moral support, however, will not go far in paying the grocery bill. According to Fielder A. Jones, George Sisler, star member of the Browns, says he Is not In sympathy with the baseball strike and that Dave Fultz can suspend him if he wants. . Charles Web1?! Murphy Is In again. He says David Fultz Is making, the public pay. Charlie doesn't want any one else to make the public pay.

IN a game in an Kastern city of the American League a recruit lnfielder had a big day at the bat. getting four clean hits In as many times up. As a bush leaguer the recruit "had a great reputation as a hitter, but he found the pitching slightly dLgerent ir the big league and hadn't shown much at the bat. The four hits proved a tonic and he was busy around the hotel lobby that evening. His rapid fire conversation caused a few of the vet erans to frame something at his ex pense. The following morning the player received a telephone call from a man who purported to be the manager of a well-known srorting goods store, but who was a member of his team. The supposed manager made mention of his great hitting and regretted the player was not using the bat manu factured by bis company. He informed the youngster many leading players used it and that he hoped shortly to Include him in the list. To have him give the bats atrial the manager requested him to drop around and he would present him with a dozen. The player started for the store. He introduced himself and because of his work the previous day he was the object of much attention. STOP WINNING GAMES IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!

A few weeks later It was decided the player was not quite experienced enough and another year in the minors would Just about fit him for fast com pany. Announcement was made in the papers and immediately a bill was sent to the club for the bats. It was a rude awakening when, on getting his check, he saw the cost of the bats deducted from his salary. .

THE boundaries for the new Pacific Northwest section, set forth in the call for the annual meeting: of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association have been changed slightly. The limits finally determined by agree ment between O. J. Salisbury of the Inter-mountain, Dr. Sumner Hardy of the Pacific States, and Walter A. Goss of Portland, for the Northwest, will leave the state of Montana and Idaho south of the 45th parallel, with the Inter-mountain section. Oregon, Wash ington and Northern Idaho will com prise the Pacific Northwest. This re arrangement of territory is expected to prove helpful to the promotion of ten nis interests In this part of the United States. s s m Development of organizations to co ordinate the activities of various tennis bodies shows how fast the game is growing. These generally take the form of an association of tennis clubs, the association having jurisdiction over tournaments in its territory, to arrange them without conflicts so that tennis affairs can run smoothly throughout the season. The Washington. 13. C, Tennis League, organized a year ago, is an example of a successful associa- ciation of this kind. A similar body was formed In Schenectady, N. Y., where its influence was a great stimulus to ten nis. Baltimore and Cleveland now have under way the development of such associations, due. to the growth of ten nis In. those cities. s s Secretary Edwin F. Torrey announces that the United States National Lawn Tennis Association has sanctioned Feb ruary 9 as the date for the Mid-Pacific carnival tournament to be given by the Beretania Tennis Club of Honolulu. George Church and Harold Throckmor ton, who are In the Orient, will compete- in this event, as will "Billy" Johnston, former National champion, and John Strachan, ofTe of the most prominent players on the Pacific Coast. Alfred L. Castle, of the Hawaiian Association, writes that Church is expected there February 6 and the tournament will be finished In time for the players to catch the steamers of February 20 or 21 for the United States. That tennla In terest In Hawaii continues keen is in dicated by the recent applications for membership in the U. S. N. L. T. A. of the Beretania Tennis Club and the Hawaii Polo and Racing Club. In creating the field secretary's office with headquarters at 20 Broad street. New York City, the National Associa tion seems to hr.ve made a move that is popular with followers of tennis.' The office was established last Spring to serve as a clearing-house of tennis In- I formation. Inquiries range from re quests for Interpretation of the rules to questions as to how to organize a ten nis club and build a court. This serv ice is at the disposal of anyone inter ested and is not limited to members of the association. The number and va riety of the letters sent to the office show that it meets a real need. Roland Roberts, who Is generally con sidered to be one of the most promising young players on the Pacific Coast, has gone with Wright & D It son at their San Francisco store. He made his firse Kastern trip last Summer and played fine tennis. California is proud of its success In developing young players and appar ently intends to maintain its fine rec ord in the movement now under way to secure more tourament competition for juniors and boys. A short time ago tho National Association announced a ten tative list of 40 cities throughout tha country for designation as tennis cen ters. Winners of preliminary tourna ments will be eligible to compete for the championship of these tennis cen ters and such winners will be eligible to play for the National title. San Fran cisco and Los Angeles were named m California, but these two centers are not enough to take care of the juniors there. Dr. Sumner Hardy, president of the Pacific States Lawn Tennis Asso ciation, has proposed that Fresno, which is about midway between the cities al ready named, also be designated. Inas much aa the first list was purely ten tative, it is possible that several sim ilar recommendations will be presented to the annual meeting. The attention being given the devel opment of young players Is not con fined to California. Walter A. Goss, of Portland, Or., tells what the tennis en- ' thusiasts here have in mind, in these words: "I'm keen for the new amendment (amateur rule) and since I have some plans for the future which I hope to work out successfully, I make bold to tell you how these new features of our chosen frame are bound to effect the future here in Oregon. "I've played tennis for 30 years and now I'm going to try to help some of our juniors. I have undertaken to coach 20 boys next year. Presumably these boys will come from our high schools, and I want to get them at as early agea as possible. My scheme Is backed by three of Portland's most representative citizens and we are going to help thesee boys all we can. "The best team will be sent to our nearby tournaments this Summer and all that we will require from the boy is to have him show a keen desire to be a champion, to do his best, to be a good loser, to keep his habits right and to learn gentlemanly and courteous con duct both on and off the court. "There are no dues and no expenses, any more than that he. of course, buy his own racket, balls and clothing. We will play on the public courts and the city Is keen on helping to turn out some Oregon champions." s Inquiries being made concerning tour nament dates Indicate the possibility of a big increase of sanctioned events for 1917. Clubs scattered clear across the country have written to ask about certain, dates, although the blanks for such requests have not been issued by the National Association. They will be sent out early in February. Last sea son's schedule, showed a decided jump in the dates sanctioned, as compares: with 1915, and the early inquiries now Indicate etill further Increases for next season.
