LICK OF ARBITERS
BOTHERS
CARTHY
Coast League Prexy Hard
Pressed for Officials.
GUTHRIE ALONE SIGNED
George Hildebrand Would Like
Berth on Starr if Salary Part
Could Be Arranged.
President William H. McCarthy,
who succeeds Al Baum as pilot of the
coast league, is already wearing a
troubled look, and the start of the
3 92U season is yet several months
away. Word comes from the south
land that William's efforts to secure
satisfactory umpires for 1920 is caus
ing him many Meepless nights.
The suggestion has been made that
he sign articles with George Hilde
brand, who figures as one of the best
little bets in the indicator-handling
business.
But the chances of "Hildy" on the
coast next season are very slim. He
is one of the leading arbitrators of
the American league, and is on Ban
Johnson's reserve list, which is a very
good reason for his not being able
to "call them" tor the coast league
boys next season. Another is the
slight difference in salaries paid um
pires in the American league and on
the coast circuit.
It probably would be impossible for
the coast league to come up to the
ealary which Hildebrand receives as
an umpire in the big show.
But if the matter of his release and
salary could be arranged he would
be found in an entirely agreeable
mood. When asked about umpiring
on tl.e coast, he said: "I'd like it.
The big league job takes a fellow
away from home six months or more
every year, and one doesn't relish
looking to a long period of years
with half of each year spent about
300O miles away from one's family.
"This is a fine league to work in,
and if I were here, I could be home
often. And that is a big inducement.
"But what is the use of discussing
it? My salary as a big league umpire
is probably beyond the reach of the
coast league, and under the laws of
baseball my services are owned by
the American league."
So far President McCarthy has re
tained just one of the veterans of the
league's umpire staff. This veteran
is Bill Guthrie, who figures as about
the best of the lot. Jack Feely, who
worked in a few games last season,
and Bert Delmas, the old-time third
baseman, will also be on the staff.
Ted McGrew. highly-recommended by
the Southern league, is after a job
in the coast league and may be signed
up.
Ed Finney. Perle Casey, Mai Eason
and Billy Phyle of last season's crew
are being considered favorably for the
four remaining berths.
.
Bill "Kopeks" Ken worthy, late of
the Ai geles, has been signed by Clyde
v ares to play second base for Seat
tie. This would indicate that Clyde
himself intends to do much of his
managing from the bench. It would
also indicate that Clyde believes h
can build up a ball club out of cast
offs from other coast league clubs.
Kenworthy was a grand ballplay
er for several seasons, but he fell off
lamentably in his hitting last season
and was released in consequence. He
is not sufficiently brilliant as a field
er to hold a steady job if he doesn't
hit up near the .300 mark.
.
Word comes from the south that
the San Francisco ball club has just
about given up hope of training at
San Jose next spring. The Seal
bosses are looking favorably upon
Stockton, while Santa Rosa. Marys
ville. Modesto, Merced, Visalia and
Porterville are also still in the run
ning.

WOMEN" TO GET NEW WORK
Two Physical Training Courses

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Dec. 13. (Special.)
Two new courses in physical educa
tion for women will be offered at th
college next term for those interested
in playground work, playground or
gunization and administration, unde
Miss Edna A. Cocks, head of the de
partment. and playground and gym
rasium games under Miss Ruth Win-
inger, instructor.
Sports scheduled for the coming
term in women's athletics are basket
ball and swimming. There will be 14
classes in basketball. Five of these
will be held in the men's gymnasium
because of the overcrowded condition
of the women's gymnasium. No
classes are scheduled for these hours
the men's gym, but for evening
practice the men's gym is so crowded
that they will make use of the wom
en's gymnasium two nights in the
week all of next term.
More efficient work is expected to
result from the new ruling in the
women s physical education depart
ment, which requires that all young
women select one sport and devote all
the time they have for sports to this
one.

Pennant Winner.
NINE MOUNDSMEN WANTED
Ba Sbler and La pan Held Over as
Seasoned Catchers Boles
to Stay Retired.
BY HARRY M. GRAYSON.
LOS ANGELES. Dec. 13. (Special.)
Money makes the mare go, and co
pious quantities of the well-known
wampum will be scattered hither and
yon in a herculean effort to give Los
Ted Moyer, Carl Negstad, Poet llrnion,
right William Glbbs, Thomas Gray,
Joe Leptic.
Angeles a pennant-winning club In
1920. This from the lips of Wade
Killefer, fiery-domed pilot of Johnny
Powers' Seraphs.
"Red" will hike for big show cities,
leaving Los Angeles late next month,
and with him goes the desire to fetch
back two or three pitchers, a pair of
infielders and at least one good chaser
of fly balls. The foxy Angel leader
would make the jaunt earlier, but
wishes to accompany Gavvy Cravath,
the wooden-shoed one, who heads the
Phillies. Cravath is wintering at La
guna beach, and plans on shaking
sand from his Douglases on or about
January 26.
Between you and I and the gate
post, there is every likelihood of In
fielder Russell ("Lena") Blackburne
and Outfielder Leo D. Callahan of the
Quakers coming to Los Angeles. Cra
vath has offered the pair of them and
some more tossers on whom he has
strings to Kellefer in a deal for either
Southpaw Curly Brown or Bill Per
tica. ,
Six Sloundsmen Wanted.
The local leader is not adverse to
accepting Blackburne and Callahan on
a deal, and unless the two Boston
clubs and the St. Louis Nationals kick
through with better offers than they
have to date Brown and Pertica may
be heaving alleged receivers for the
Ben Franklins. Both figure to cut
a wide swath under the big tent.
Blackburne is a vet -ran of many a
diamond battle. If they gave croix de
guerres or some kind of a medal for
length of service "Lena" would sport
a front like a marine veteran who
was one of the hosts to the Germans
at Chateau Thierry. Old Ironsides hit
.213 in 103 games, with Boston and the
Phillies during 1919. He swats right
handed. Callahan is a youngster who
hits from the port side of the rubber.
He seems to be a likely candidate to
fill George ("Rube") Ellis' shoes next
semester should the famous "Rube,"
on his 81st year, find Coast league
society too blamed smart. Reuben has,
however, been dodging the baseball
undertaker for quite a spell and may
fool some of the wise guys who are
predicting that he's shot his bolt.
Rollicking Red figures he needs
three pitchers, and rightly so. He's
going to swap Brown and Pertica.
That's as sure as fate, and will leave
him struggling along with Aldridge,
"Doc" Crandall, Paul Fittery and
"Toots" Schultz. The red-head has
made speeches to the effect that he
wants six capable moundsmen with
reveille sounds next spring and is
figuring on at least one of his hold
overs falling by the wayside.
Boles to Stay Retired.
Killefer has about given up the idea
that Walter Boles will come out of
his announced retirement. Walter is
doing mighty well in business and
his legs are so bad that Wade cannot
reasonably count on the presence of
this sterling baseball head when the
birdies start to twitter.
This leaves Johnny Bassler and Pete
Lapan as seasoned catchers, with
Clint Wolgamot and "Chubby Al"
Bartholemy, youngsters, on the pay
roll. Bassler is being looked to by
Killefer to do the bulk of next year's
work. Lapan reverted back from Se
attle at the close of the 1919 season.
If he can get away to the flying start
in hitting which he. did last season
and keep it up instead of going into
a slump, no one will keep him out of
the lineup.
The two kids on the muster roll will
both bear watching. Wolgamot fin
ished with the San Antonio (Texas
league) club last season after being
discharged from the army. Barthol
emy broke in with Portland in the
spring of 1916, winding up the sea
son with Tacoma. He was traded to
Denver, where he spent 1917, was a
member of America's air service dur
ing 1918 and managed and caught
for the Paul club of the Southern
Idaho league, a semi-professional out
fit, last year. He is very highly rec
ommended by Johnny Bassler.
Third-Sacker Needed.
What Killefer really wants worse
than anything else in the world is a
third baseman. With Bates gone and
the prospect of Bert Niehoff manag
ing the Denver (Western league)
club. Wade will have only Fred Ha
ney, the Polytechnic high school boy,
to fall back on. One of the new
guardians of the inner works will
pastime at the difficult corner, while
the other may play first base should
Jack Fournier decide to remain in the
oil game. This is unlikely, however
and Killefer's real mission will be to
find a keystone patcher to fight it out
with Karl Crandall. Bunny Fabrique
looks like a fixture at shortstop.
Sam Crawford will continue to keep
Coast chuckers pitching and then
ducking, playing right field when he's
not hitting 'em up against the boards.
.. . .Z. . .X . iiilwiw . . . ' i n i r n n i r rn r nrr i n i cwwwMit
while Killefer himself will look after
the middle orchard. "Rube" Ellis had
a poor season in 1919. but may stage a
comeback, in all events he'll have to
battle with Callahan or some other
fast-coming youngster in order to hold
the job of a regular. Killefer goes as
far as to say that he'll take two out
fielders if he can land them. It's well
to carry an extra garden artist, and
Wade reckons that by getting two
he's certain to land one good enough
to take Ellis' place if nee: be or at
least play the utility role.
CUBA LX LOVE WITH BASEBALL
World's Series May Embrace New
Country In Near Future.
NEW YORK, Dec.. 13. (Special.)
In the not bo far distant future the
world's series may embrace another
country that is to say, a country
other than the United States of Amer
ica. They are doing a heap of good
ball playing down in Cuba, which
seems to be the mecca of the so
called "sports." By this is not meant
the games, but the persons.
Baseball started off merrily in Cuba
this autumn when the Pittsburg Na
tionals went there for a series.
The Pittsburg team, surely not the
highest class baseball organization
which might be formed here in the
off-season, was guaranteed expenses
and 400 per man. with a privilege of
Ensrne Berger, Martin Leptlc, Will-
captain; Eddie Kollabil, William
percentage of the gate, for playing a
series with the Havana Reds and the
Almendarez teams. This is a pretty
good "get" for a series which runs
about a month.
Since John McGraw and Charles
Stoneham, joint owners of the Giants,
purchased the Havana racetrack the
bangtails are bound to be set upon
a higher plane. Stoneham has made
a lot of money on the stock markets
and McGraw, boss of the Giants, al
ways has had a weakness for horse
racing. In addition to racing, winter base
ball and the like, there is no war
time prohibition operating in Cuba.
Drinks are available for all who wish
to purchase. It is said that McGraw,
now that he owns a suitable plant
near Havana, may take the Giants
there for spring training. The Yanks
once prepared in Bermuda, and Ha
vana is within easy distance of New
York via steamship. In fact, the trip
is much easier than jumping from
Gotham to Texas.
TEMPLETON MAY STEP PUT
ATHLETE PLAN'S TO RESUME
LIFE OF AVIATOR.
Stanford Man Makes Record
Dare-Devil Pilot and Feels
Lure of "Game,"
as
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo
Alto, Cal., Dec 13. Dink Templeton,
most noted of all present-day athletes
at Stanford university, may never
again be seen in competition on a
Stanford team. The immortal "Dink"
has been seriously thinking of aban
doning his college career and resum
ing the life of an aviator. He does
not expect to re-enter the army air
service, in which he was commissioned
during the war. but states he is con
sidering entering the commercial avia
tion field , as pilot or salesman, or
both. Just what company he will
associate himself with, in case he fol
lows his present inclination, is not
Known.
Templeton made a good record as an
army pilot, being rated as a trick
flyer of the daredevil type. Like
many former aviators, he feels a de
sire to get back into the game. Tem
pleton is a law student at Stanford
and in order to complete the long
legal training necessary for the gain
ing of the coveted juris doc or degree
he would have to put in from two to
two and a half more years in college,
a long grind.
Of course, he would not be eligible
for competition during this entire
period of time, but his services in
helping coach varsity track and foot
ball teams would be of material as
sistance to the cardinals. For Tem
pleton is not only a football hero.
and as such one or the greatest punt'
ers and drop kickers of Pacific coast
football history, but he is also a
tracKster or varsity caliber and a
baseball player of note. He also plays
oasKetDaii, out ne nas been consid
ered too valuable to the other teams
for him to devote a great amount of
time to the court game.
Templeton can be counted upon to
make points in both the high and
broad jumps in the intercollegiate
meet witn tjanrornia, and his ab
sence from the cardinal ranks will
give the Bears a better chance at
success in their attempt to prevent
the btanfordites making it "eight
straight victories" in the annual
track meet this coming spring. For
seven seasons past the blue and gold
team has been defeated by the cin
der-path aggregation of the cardinals.
xempleton can also nole vault nnrt
hurdle, but there are so many other
gooa men representing Stanford in
these events that his services are not
needed.

BECKETT KNOCKOUT
WO FISTIC MARVEL
Carpentier's Feat Fails to
Arouse U. S. Fans.
JOE ONLY SECOND-RATER
American Bugs Hold Frenchmen
Place Georges' Ability Higher
Than Record Warrants.
Just a four-sided view of the Georges
Carpentier - Joe Beckett thing. Is it
really anything to get excited about
"Carpentier won on his merits,"
reads a cable line from London. This
is hardly to be controverted, but it
probably required only a doubtful de
gree of merit to win from a man of
the caliber of Beckett. Of recent years
most of the English heavyweights
have been easy picking for boxers of
other countries who hardly approxi
mated championship caliber.
Not since the days of Charley Mit
chell and Bob Fitzsimmons has the
country which cradled boxing and
been one of its chief proponents, suc
ceeded in producing a big man capable
of making anything like a serious
bid for the heavyweight title.
Carpentier simply succeeded in stif
fening a boxer, who, although he has
been fighting for nearly a dozen
years, does not appear in the stand
ard record books.
Judging from the reports of the
fight, Beckett is a big hulking fel
low, something of the Bill Lang type,
with very little cleverness and only a
stereotyped knowledge of boxing
whose mind works even slower than
his rather clumsy fists.. He fell into
a trap which the boxing neophyte of
the pork-and-bean persuasion should
have avoided. The feint which caused
him to drop bis guard ia so ancient
and transparent as to hardly be
classed in the trick category.
From this distance, the fight ap
pears to have demonstrated just one
thing, to-wit: That Carpentier came
out of the world war without his
punch being blunted. Usually, he could
drop any man he could reach. His rec
ord is replete with the K. O. sign,
but compiled largely against second
and third-raters.
While Georges still carries a fist
ful of T. N. T. in either hand, it is
extremely doubtful whether he still
possesses the stamina to stand up in a
gruelling battle of much duration.
For one thing, although he is still
fairly young, he started boxing at
the age of 15, and by all the laws of
the ring should be "burned out" by
now.
Because of hia clean and decisive
win over the beefy Beckett, the French
champion is being hailed as the o ie
and only logical opponent for Jack
Dempsey, which Is not a flattering
commentary on conditions in the
heavyweight circle. Few over here be
lieve that Georges has any business in
the same ring with Dempsey except
that of making money. Still the match
would draw well in this country, ow
ing to a general desire to see Demp
sey in action again and a natural
curiosity to see the Frenchman in
action. Doubtless, over in France and
England, where the heavyweight
standards are at a very low ebb and
the boxing patrons think about 20
years slower than they do over here,
Carpentier Is regarded as practically
invincible. The match would draw
Immensely either in Paris or London.
Because of the losses which our allies
suffered In the war, which for the
most part claimed their best, it is
hardly likely that America will ex
perience any very severe athletic
competition from either France or
England for a generation yet.
Boxing followers have in recent
years learned not to expect much
from England In the way of heavy
weights, but that country has until
recently upheld its former standard
in the lighter divisions. Hence the
surprise at the poor showing made
by Jimmy Wilde in his first Ameri
can appearance. The fact that Wilde
has not boxed since July may partly
account for his failure to live up to
the advance notices. It was expected
that Wilde would appear to far better
advantage, coming as he does from the
country which sent across such men
as Matt Wells, Freddie Welsh. Owen
Moran and Ted Lewis, not to mention
lot of classy light men of former
days.
RACE BET VOTE LIKELY
REFERENDUM IX EACH PROV
INCE OF CANADA PROPOSED.
Submission of Bill at Next Session
of Parliament Planned Gam
bling Held Necessary.
TORONTO, Ont,, Dec. 13. It is
stated on reliable authority that Mr.
Rowell will at the next sitting of
parliament at Ottawa, on or about
February 1, introduce a bill on horse
racing. By that time the report of
the commissioner. Dr. Rutherford,
who has just finished Investigating
racing all over Canada, will be
thoroughly digested.
The idea is to have a referendum
in each province as to whether that
province wants racing with betting
or not. There Is no law or objection
to racing as racing, but without bet
ting it is impossible to conduct rac
ing. In view of the recent vote in
Ontario favoring prohibition and as
the same elements are opposed to rac
ing and betting, the outlook in this
province at least is not rosy.
The attitude of the Ottawa house
on the prohibition question is a warn
ing to race track followers In Ontario.
The members are ready to line up for
about anything that will keep the
church vote behind them and they
will line up for this referendum plan
in racing. It is the old story of
"passing the buck," and unless the
senate kills the idea it is pretty
nearly good-by to racing in this
province. A referendum on racing
would undoubtedly go the same way
as the prohibition referendum.
And the ideas of the new attorney-
general, Mr. Raney, are more than
pronounced against racing combined
with betting.
Mr. Rutherford's report will be sub
mitted when the house meets again,
but as the racing problem is one for
the justice department it is probable
that the Hon. Mr. Doherty will In
troduce whatever legislation the gov
ernment sees fit to recommend con
cerning it. Betting is a Dominion and
not a provincial matter, but the gov
ernment will likely continue to leave
to the various provinces the issuing
of permits for race meetings. In the
past, in fact, the taxation of the
tracks has been done by the provinces.
In Quebec the assessment was 9750
daily and in Ontario 1250 daily, plus,
of course, the war tax.
