are stronger than they were when
they started out with nothing at all
last spring. Of course, Manager Mc
Credie has not filled all his holes,
but no matter how he tries he cannot
but start the seasoj with a stronger
team than the aggregation that lost
everything except its gloves and
shoes during the first month last
spring.
Sacramento will be stronger for the
reason that Bill Rodgers has the
Moreings behind him, and the More
ings have a bankroll as big as a
Clatsop spruce. The Los Angeles in
field was a woeful affair last year,
with the exception of Fournier. This
season Killefer will have some good
men at the corners. He Is looking
for a strong outfielder to fit in with
Crawford and himself.
Bobby Meusel will be missed by
Vernon, but the Tigers are strength
ened elsewhere. Ernie Johnson will
make his debut as manager of the
Salt Lake tribe, and if he puts some
of his own fire and enthusiasm into
his players, the Bees will act like
Bees, and not vicious and pugnacious
like the butterflies of last season.
The Coast league is too near akin
to. a major organization to depend
upon youngsters to make good from
the start. And tha is where Judge
McCredie is off on the wrong brogan.
The judge is very strong for the
young players, and one can hardly
blame him, for it was 'unheralded
youngsters Grceg, Stcen, Pcckln
paugh, Krapp, Beaton who won pen
nants for Portland in the days before
drug stores began wearing starboard
and larboard lights.
It 's all very well to have one cr
two youngsters on the payroll nowa
days, but it Is another thing- to de
pend upon them. Bancroft, Hollocher,
Mays, Mailman, Bigbee are major
league stars, but they couldn't make
good in the Coast league their first
year. out. And the league is faster
now than ever before.
A fan writes to inquire why we
pick on Dempsey, "who is no worse
than Willard and other boxers."
We're not picking on Dempsey. .Your
Uncle Samuel is doing the picking.
It is quite true that Dempsey's case
was not more aggravated than Wil-
lard's and that is the trouble with
boxing. Of the last three world's
champion heavyweight fighters, one.
Jack Johnson, is a fugitive from the
United States authorities; another,
Willard, didn't raise a hand in the big
fight, and the third is under indict
ment for "slacking."
Pretty "fighters," don't you think?
Feeling against Dempsey was very
strong in the A. E. F. and It was a
foregone conclusion that he never
would be a real popular champion.
even though his abilities were recog
One issue-of the "Stars and Stripes"
ran a cartoon of two panels one de
picting Dempsey fighting some husky
boxer over here for a big bag of
boodle and the other showing two
Buddies in No Man's land who had
been fighting Germans the same
night. It seemed gruesomely incon
gruous.
Shortly afterwards the "Stare and
Stripes" barred all sport news from
its columns.

"What is the world's record for
number of rounds in a fight?" asks
Boxing Fan.
Durned if we know. Believe the
record for length is the 276-round
scrap between Jack Jones and Patsy
Tunney in Cheshire, England In 1125,
Jack had nothing else to do that day
as there were no Income tax blanks
to bother with, so he took all day to
dispose of Tunney.
Battling Nelson holds the record for
brevity. In Harvey, 111., on April
1902 the battler knocked out William
Rossler in two seconds. They walked
to the center of the ring and the
battler took just time to whang him
on the whiskers and down he went
like a man hit by a sack of sand
dropped from an aeroplane.

bout, also refereed a four-second
knockout by Dal Hawkins In Carson

from Corbett. Martin Flaherty was
the victim of the scenario. Hogan Is

January and February are the
months when the ball players have
good jobs and work the hardest and
definitely decide to quit the grand
old game. But when the first balsam
laden breezes drift out from Callfor
nla or Florida, and the financial
wrinkles are adjuxted with the
"mags" this contemplative mood dis
appears in a puff of foam like so
much home-grown beer.

Job as a cop In Havana and report to
the Seals or not. Calvo Is the speedy
little Cuban who u.sed to play in
the northwestern league.
In a lop-eared game In Butte one
time, Calvo asked permission to pitch
the last Inning so he could hit Fred
Carman, whom he detested. Bob
Brown give him permission.
Catcher Cheek signalled for a fast
ball, but Calvo shook his head. Sig
nals for curves and slow ball failed to
get the Cuban's approval.
Finally Cheek walked out to Calvo
and snapped: "Whatlnell do you want
to throw?"
"Harry," pleaded Calvo, "give me
signal for him 'bean' ball; that' what
I want to throw."

club is now seeking Third Baseman

It is understood that Sacramento
has made the Judge a substantial cah
offer, provided Wisterzll Is willing to
sign. Whether the sale is made will
depend upon Walter McCredle's luck
in drawing reinforcements from De
troit. Pennington likely will be sold
to Hartford. Conn.
Neither Wlsterzil. Pennington nor
Rudy Kalllo. all holdouts, will report
at Ontario, Cal., In time for the open
