HALL GIVES HIGH PRAISE Trade of Former Seattle Favorite, Lee Slagee, by New York Tanks to Fielder Jones' St. Louis Club Is No Surprise. BY PORTUS BAXTER. SEATTLE, July 21. (Special.) St. Paul, Or., stands a good chance of im pressing itself In red letters on the baseball map. At least that is what Russ Hall, owner of the Tacoma Tigers' franchise, and Bob Brown, the Vancou ver, B. C, magnate, think. Personal ly, I am unable to Jump in with both feet and make a strong prediction, be cause I was so unfortunate as to be absent when the subject of the prog nostications was getting In his good licks. Pitcher Pillett is the name of the lad that Hall and Brown figure has a fine chance of eventually stirring up things jn the National League. Hall tells me that he was raised in St.' Paul, Or., and that although he is not yet entitled to vote he has a very good chance of mak ing good in the big game despite lack of experience. In the closing hours of the North western League race, J. Newton Colver, of Spokane, put over a deal by which Russ Hall turns Pillett over to Cin cinnati. The announcement that the former Seattle favorite, Lee Magee, had been traded by the New York Americans to Fielder Jones' St. Louis club for Out fielder Marsans was not exactly a sur prise. Only a short time ago M was pointed out In these columns that Ma gee had not been going well this sea son. He had fallen down so decidedly in his batting from the high-water mark he set in the Federal League that the Yankees benched him despite the fact that they paid a fancy price for his contract when the Federal League wreck was being cleaned up by Harry Sinclair, the oil millionaire. The trouble with Magee as an out fielder, and the Yankees were contin ually trying him in one of the pas tures, was that his arm did not quite come up to .the requirements of the po sition. At first base he was handi capped by his size. In the big leagues they like a good mark to fire at, be cause it is a case of get the ball and let it go. The best work Magee did for New York was at second base, but somehow or other no one satisfies them in this position. In recent time they have had Gedeon, of the Coast League; Charlie Mullen, the former University of Washington star, and Boone. None of them became a fixture. SOUTHPAWS FINDING FAVOR Managers Often Consider Iieft- Ilanded Pitching Weakens Heart. CHICAGO, July 15. As a rule right handers have always been hailed as the greatest pitchers, but the southpaw has developed In the major leagues in the last few seasons to a place of promt nence. A left-handed pitcher has al ways been regarded as more or less er ratic No less a Judge than Frank Chance had little faith in southpaws, for he always insisted that the constant strain on the left side of the body weakened the heart and for this rea son they all had overtaxed hearts and were never normal. In spite of all the talk about un reliable southpaws, the fact remains that nine out of the first 14 flingers in the National League last season were left-handers. Ferdie Schupp, of the Giants, was rated in the averages as the most ef fective pitcher In the league, with Grpver Alexander, a right-hander, sec riV - " n - , - H H 11 - -i ond. Next came three southpaws In a row, Marquard, Rixey and Cooper. Next came the three Boston south paws. Nehf, Tyler and Allen. Slim Sallee and Jim Vaughn, also south paws, were high up In the ranking. Managers are realizing the effective- $20,000 FOR RED CROSS IS MARK SET BY COAST AMATEUR BOXERS Banner Patriotic Tourney to Be Held m San Francisco in September. Seattle's Entry Into Coast League Is' Still Indefinite. BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO, July 21. (Spe cial.) Twenty thousand dollars is the mark set by amateur boxers up and down the Coast as their con tribution to the American Red Cross. This sum will be raised at a banner patriotic amateur tournament to be held here In September, according to officials of the Olympic Club, who are behind the movement. It is pleasing to see that the ama teurs are taking the Initiative in "do ing their bit" for such a worthy cause. Several times In the past the promot ers of the four-round game have pro posed shows for the Red Cross, but have gone no further than the an nouncements. The trouble has been that they wanted to give the Red Cross Just a percentage of the receipts. The society makes it a point that all the receipts must be turned over when a show Is advertised for the Red Cross, and that was where the shoe pinched. It looked as If the promoters were try ing to create interest by tacking on some charitable cause and putting some money in their own pockets. Boxers all over the country have cer tainly been backward with their pa triotism In comparison with other sports. No sooner did the Red Cross call for funds than the National golf, tennis and trapshooting associations came forward with suggestions for pa triotic events to raise money. They asked for no percentage, but generous ly donated all. In that way thousands have been raised. In the meanwhile, boxing shows have been staged with never a worM or penny for the great humane society. It Is the fault of the Individual pro moter. Unfortunate, there is no governing National body to take the lead -and there are no Jim Coff roths to set out and do something that will bring credit and popularity to the game. The boxers seem wilMng enough. ' Willie Ritchie and Joe Riv ers volunteered to give their services free, but still the promoters hemmed and hawed without going ahead. The amateur boxers accordingly will set an example In September. Phil M. Wand, the former referee and well known sportsman, is making arrange ments for the big tournament that will run three nights at the Civic Audi torium. He will make an effort to bring the amateur champions from Portland, Seattle, Spokane and other Northwest points along with those from California. The affair will be boomed and he Is confident $20,000 or more will be realized. Revival of the story of the possibil ity of Seattle breaking back Into the Coast League has failed to stir up any startling developments at league head quarters here. President Baum admits that the addition of the Puget Sound metropolis would add much strength to the circuit, but declares that he does not deem It wise at this time to make the attempt. Furthermore, no direct word has been received from Seattle and it is quite necessary to get the permission of the Northwesl League directors, as their territory la protected by organized baseball. Another problem would be to find someone who would finance the Seattle team. Lugdale, so It Is reported here, has lost money for the past three sea sons and perhaps would not like to take a flyer. He likely would enter tain a proposition to sell out, but with baseball conditions so unsettled be cause of the war a buyer would be hard to find. Little stock is accordingly taken in the chances of ..Seattle being repre sented In the league this season, any how. Perhaps in 1918, when the Coast Fythlans Want Portland Named. EOSEBHRG, Or., July 21. (Special.) At a meeting of the local lodge of Knights of Pythias held here last night a resolution was adopted ask ing that the Grand Lodge sessions be held in Portland next year instead of at Marshfield. as planned at the pres- i ent time. By holding the meeting at Portland, the members say, the lodge men from Eastern Oregon and other distant points will be able to save a total of several hundred dollars. Centralia Reserves Ordered to Duty. CENTRALIA, July 21. (Special.) Reserves of Company M, Second Regi ment, National Guard of Washington, are ordered to report for duty-July 23, to Captain G. J. Benoit, Chehalis. or to Captain B. C. Ross at American Lake. Leaguers talk over starting, they may try and figure in Seattle. Once again James W. Coffroth Is forced to step forward and explain that he has permanently retired from the promotion of boxing bouts. The fact that his right-hand man, Gregory Mitchell, has leased the bull ring in Tia Juana, Just across the border from San Diego, and Is planning on staging 20-round bouts, led to the story that "Sunshine Jim" was going to get back Into the game. "Why, I handle more money every day at the Tia Juana racetrack than I did for my biggest fights," says Cof froth. "I haven't the time or the de sire to wrangle with boxers over guar antees and all the other worries. I have always said that I was through with the game. In this case Mitchell Is going in for himself and I have ab solutely nothing to do with it." Coffroth leaves on August 1 to ob tain horses and Jockeys for the next meeting at Tia Juana, which opens on Thanksgiving day. He expects to have more success this season than last, when he was credited with cleaning -up $125,000 during the 120 days of the sport. He believes in promoting the turf sport on the same scale as he did boxing. Statistics show that he dis tributed more than $300,000 in stakes and purses at the last meeting, and he if figuring on giving 10 fixed stakes with four or six added for the coming season. Norman Ross is the big fish In local swimming circles. His feat of winning seven races In a day and incidentally breaking 12 A. A. U. outdoor records on July Fourth recommended him for the title of a swimmer of merit. Ross holds a position of athletlo director at one of the Alameda beaches and Is en abled to be constantly In training. Swimming fans are hoping that Duke Kahamamoku, the great Hawaiian mer man, will accept the invitation to swim against Ross in the National quarter mile championship that will be con tested here on August 11. The Duke has been slipping a bit In the last year or so but h is still rated good enough to tell whether or not Ross is going to develop into the world's champion his friends believe he is. Hen Berry, the San Francisco mag nate. Is an ambitious man. After 'an nouncing himself as the manager of the Seals and boasting over their showing the first couple weeks. Hen now as pires to put Pop Geers, Tommy Mur phy. Billy Durfee and the other stars of the sulky in the shade. At the open ing meeting of the sulky circuit at Salinas last week, Berry was present and got all dolled up to drive Brother Clarence's fast pacing mare. White Sox, in a big race. Hen had it all figured out that he could handle the ribbons and he was seriously preparing to hop into the cir cuit. Billy Durfee was taking no chances, however, of having any mis fortune happen to White -Sox, that was good enough to win the $20,000 pacing stake at the Exposition, and Hen did not have his wish gratified. Next we hear he will be trying to put the gloves on with Jess Willard or going to the mat with Earl Caddock. San Francisco enjoys the unique dls tlnctlonln the golf world of having a course that Is for the exclusive use of men players. The new Lakeside Club, out by the ocean beach, was officially opened last Sunday for Inspection and one of the orders given out was that women would not be allowed to play. The fair sex were out for the inspec tion and looked with envious eyes as their male escorts pounded the balls around. It may come to pass that the women will band together and build a links of their own In retaliation. Cruise otSt. Louis Nationals and Roush Each Hit .331.

Williams, of Boise, Take 12 M lie Race In 9:02 4-5. LA GFANDE. Or, July 2L (Special.) Dustin Farnum, Portland, won the Far Western grand prix at the opening day of the motorcycle races here to day. It was a spectacular race In which the little Portlander took an early lead, but at no time until the very last did he have a lap the lead over Albert Williams, of Boise, who finished second, 49 seconds after the winner. The SO-mlle event was ne gotiated In 39:17. Williams shared In the glories of the day by capturing the 12-mile event from Farnum after a see-saw event that has to be put down as the best ever run here. It was a wonderful event. The mile and a half track was thoroughly oiled and the audience en Joyed the races better than heretofore. The auto division of today's pro gramme was only mediocre. The day was ideal and the crowd large. To night the visitors and townsfolk are dancing a Joyous mardl gras on the streets. The summary: Six miles for autos. free for all Farnum.

TRAP CHAMPION IS REAL T1TLEH0LDER Clay-Bird Shooters Must Van quish All-Comers, Says Peter P. Carney. STATE TITLES ARE FIRST National Honors Are Won Only After Trapmen Establish Su premacy at Home Chicago Gets Big Event This Year. BY PETER P. -.CARNEY, Editor National Sports Syndicate. . Why Is a' champion? Speaking gen erally, we don't know. Now, if you will change the ques tion to a specific one and ask, "why is the National amateur trapshooting champion?" you'll start something. But before the something gets going and monopolizes all of the allotted space, it is but fair that we explain why we cannot tell Just why is a, for instance, golf or tennis champion, though we are strong for these games as well as for all other outdoor sports. , However unneutral you may be with reference to any particular recreation you will admit that "facts la facts" Just the' same as "pigs is pigs," and it is a toss up as to which is the more pig-headed at times, so not being re sponsible for either pigs or facts, we must ask you to put the blame where it belongs if you don't approve of pigs or don't like the way facts affect a phase of your favorite sport. Some Are "Pot-Shot" Champion. To resump. the winning of a golf or tennis championship is simply a mat ter of an aspirant taking a pot shot at the "champion" who has won the honor by taking a pot-shot at the "champ" who, in turn, had wrested the title from a preceding "champion" much on the order of the endless story that de pended for its endlessness on a repe tition of the words, "then another lo cust went in and took out another grain of corn, then another locust, etc., etc., etc." Certainly it Is true that our best friends are those who gently and kindly (and privately) tell us our faults, therefore, golfers and tennisers will drink heartily from our proffered loving cup. Incidentally, it is to be remarked that if Great Britain ever tried to take golf back home to Scot land, some half-million American trap shooters would rally in defense of the game, and instead of "Hoot, mon!" it would be "Shoot, mon!" Ditto for ten nis in event of an attempt to suppress it. Real Champion Defined. Penning the pigs and again trotting out the facts, the National amateur trapshooting championship is a cham pionship, and the shooter who wins it is a champion a champion of cham pions, in fact, for in order to qualify to compete for the National title con testants must first win the champion ship of their respective states by out shooting all comers at tournaments, having the official sanction of the In terstate Association. Ordinarily, shooters with high aver ages are handicapped from one to seven yards shooting from the 17 to 23-yard line according to their rec ords, but in the event to determine a state championship, all contestants, from novices to experts, fire from 16 yards back of the trap, thereby making each a scratch man and leaving skill alone to be the determining factor in the scores registered. The 16-yard rule is in effect also when the champions of the different states meet to try con clusions in the National competition at the grand American handicap trap shooting tournament. lllK Shoot to Be Held. Last year at St. Louis, Mo., 37 states were represented in the National ama teur championship race, the title going to Washington via Frank Troeh, a Van couver gunman. This year the affair will be staged in Chicago, 111., during the grand American handicap week, at the South Shore Country Club, Au gust 20, 21, 22. 23, 24 and the indica tions are that every state in the Union will be represented and possibly the Atlantic Fleet. U. S. N. The grand American handicap tourna ment we might add is the classic event of American sportdom. It will attract In the neighborhood of 1000 trap shooters and a gallery of from 25,000 to 50,000 persons each day. Checkers. E. H. BRYANT. Editor.
