TAXi&Y BOYS PLAT A TEST OOOS
OAKE.
The eighth of 'the series of game of
Indoor baseball to be played by the
Armory league was played at the Armory
on Saturday night between teams from
the battery : and company F, resulting
in a score of 23 to, 1 in favor of the1
former team. Contrary to the tale told
,by the score board the game was run
of excitement and both sides are cred-i
lted with star features; the ' infantry
boys were unable to strike . the leather
as pitched by Ormandy with sufficient
precision to enable them to make the
rounds of the sacks. . They were out
classed by their opponents from, the
"Big Gun" "calling both in team work
and hitting ability, but considering the
way', they were handicapped In having
to play, new men, . deserve credit .'for
their playing. The battery boys showed
their confidence in each other by making-
plays that the members of the in
fantry team would not risk, which Is a
feature that should be studied and emu
lated by the other teams. The manner
In which the F boys played in practice
among, themselves before the game
caused considerable alarm in the bat
tery camp, and they entered the arena
with the expectancy of a close game.
Battery Starts Off With Three.
The battery was first up and suc
ceeded in making three runs before they J
quit., The next time they were up to
the stick they were shut out by Best,
F company's pitcher, as was also , the
case in the fifth inning, which speaks
well for that person, as he is a .new
man at the game, and shows that with
a little practice he will develop into- a
crackerjack pitcher. . The 'third : and
fourth innings the battery team, by
well-placed balls, succeeded In making
six' runs each time, and the score stood
IS to 0 in their favor at the end of the
fifth. , '
At this time Martin took the box for
F company and before he could get his
wins- via utriipk fnr flv runs. From
this -time It was not a game of who
would win, but was it possible to break
the hoodoo that the F boys' were unable
to lift. In the seventh inning Martin
Degan 10 get nis puciung arm inio piay,
and - held his -opponents down . to one
them out. When the F boys came to the
bat In the last of the eighth they real
ised that they were up against seven
goose eggs on the score board against
them, a fact that has jtrobably never
been precedented in the annals of the
KBIU- Alt H1H AilUVlJ. 11 IIIUOCU All tUV
city- , This seemed to bring Catcher
Henderson to his senses, judging from
the look of determination in his eye and
the manner in which he grasped the
hickory. He made a good strike and
eent the ball well over the right short's
head, which sot mixed ud in a lew Deo-

way, having come down from the dfjjiee
up stairs ' given' by the" longshoremen,
' enabling Henderson to make third sack.
a wild throw to that station enabling
him to make a home run out of the hit
. and the. hoodoo was broken. - - .-
The ninth inning witnessed two runs
for the Battery, and the score stood
IS to 1. The game was freer from, kick'
ing and wrangling than has been the
case before, the players learning that
the umpires understood their dutlea and
, were trying to further clean sport.
The F team are not such tyros at the
game as one would Imagine from the
score. Their main fault was the lack
of confidence in each other, a very re
quisite necessity- to make up a good
team, even of crack players. , The hit
ting of the team is somewhat low, but
It was expected that the ginger shown
by the .basemen and shorts before the
game, in a practice among themselves,,
would offset the Battery's best bitters.
Both the pitchers Martin and Best
have Improved very much since their
game with B company some time ago,
and considering their poor support de
serve much credit.

track team will be 'composed of all the
men of last year's team, with the excep
tion of - Whidden and several new men
who gtve promise of being point winners
for Idaho this spring. James, sub half
on the football team is a very fast man
in the sprints, and Is expected to give
Tllley -a race. Fawcett is a distance
man' who ia capable of filling Whidden's
place In the half mile at least He will
make a good mate for Mathews. Lang
don, a pole vaulter from Moscow high

little more training, will make a good
vaulter. The track team will be trained
by ReV. Williams. It is his Intention
to start distance men on cross country
runs just as soon as the snow disap
pears. The sprinters and the jumpers

That pugilism Is a successful profes
sion for the successful boxer is shown
by the fat bank accounts possessed by
many of the great fighters of the day.
That boxing is more profitable now than
it was years ago is certain, but the
modern fighters have apparently become
wise to the fact that it la necessary to
put away one's earnings for a rainy day.
- Probably-'ne" lighter- who-ever-donned

great John L. Sullivan. Still, the for
mer heavyweight champion Is penniless.
Sullivan went through many fortunes,
and it is estimated that he has squan
dered in the neighborhood of f 1,000,000
In the past 12 years.
Jeffries Is not a spending man, yet he
is liberal with those who coma in contact

money on the stage, his weekly salary

Terry McGovern, the ferocious little
Brooklyn boxer, who won himself a for
tune with his fists while he waa feath
erweight champion, has' a native wit
that does Credit to his Irish origin. Here
are some anecdotes about him that Billy
Rooks, his brother-in-law, tells:
"Terry was selling papers in -New
York for the benefit of the Galveston
flood sufferers soon after the disaster
that overwhelmed that cty. He took
whatever money was given and gave no
change. While making the rounds of
his pugilistic friends,' he called at Kid
McCoy's room in a downcown hotel. It
was soon after McCoy had quit in' his
fight with Jim Corbett, and that affair
was still fresh in the publlo mind.
"I'm laying down," called, out McCoy,
when Terry rapped on the door.
"What, a (fain r' demanded Terry, and
McCoy had to get up and pay half a dol
lar for a paper. '
Terry Tackled Sharkey.
Soon after Tom Sharkey's fight with
Jeffries, the marine man was met on
the street by McGovern. Tom's face was
bruised and his eyes were nearly closed
as a result of the fight. ;
"I ought to have had the decision,"
Sharkey declared. "He never landed a
hard blow on me."
v Terry pondered.. "How much did you
pay for that new house of yours?" he
asked.
"Ten thodsand dollars," replied Shar
key. "Ten thousand for a house and not a
mirror In it I" asked Terry.
Sharkey has a - reputation for being
close with his money, and It seems an
inherited trait. One day he took his
father to lunch at a New York restaur
ant. Tom ordered a string of dishes,
and the older man listened in wonder
ment. 'I'll not order anything," he told the
waiter. "You can bring me a plate and
I'll eat half of Tom'a order,"

he will spend a few weeks . with his

Portland - Is Brooklyn's gain, and- the
well-liked Portland player will have an
opportunity of rising among the stars
of the baseball : profession. Brooklyn
is probably the only big league team
that Is practically In need of out fielders

will have much more chance of "making
good than were he to compete for a po

leaguers at the start Manager Ely of
the Browns expresses bis confidence in
Van's ability to make good, and as he
aesires van to rise in tne profession, he
made no effort to get him to stay with
Portland. '
Van Buren has a host of friends In
this, as well as every other city in the

Spokane, Jan. 11. President W. H.
Lucas of the. Pacific National Baseball
league has arrived in this city and ue
nles that the P. N. L. will break up, and
says that there will be six clubs in the
circuit the coming season. Concerning
the cities to be included In the circuit
Mr, Lucas, said: "That la to-be decided
by the members of the board at the
coming": meeting."; But the four clubs
now comprising the circuit will be rep
resented, unless one of them wishes to
drop out. which I do not anticipate. 1
believe, that tgden will be one of the
best towns, as the pedple there are en
thuslastlo and willing to come in. On
the coast there are. several towns also
wishing to enter. Among the towns that
will apply for admittance into the P. N.
L. will be Relllngham. Vancouver, Og
den. Great Falls and Helena."
"As regards : Tacoma,' Mr. Lucas says
that he can tell nothing until he gets
back and finds bow things are going, He
was assured at the time of his depar
ture, for Montana that tha Tiger town
would be In the circuit, and has hardly
given up hope. - If - Tacoma does not
enter the field and Seattle is included,
then either Bellingham or Vancouver
appear to be the favored cities on tne
coast Either one of these towns with
Ogden would mako a good circuit and
their ' selection resta .entirely with the
board. ' - ; v ' -
Mr. Lucas says that there will ba one
thing certain, and that is that each club
entering :or applying A for admittance
must be on hand with a $i,ooo check aa
a guarantee to finish the season. Once
tha circuit has started there is to be
no drawing out and those going In will
take no chances. There has been con
siderable talk of Mr. Lucas try lng ' to
form an intermountaln league; but the
president says that he . has no such
thought in view. He was simplylook
ing over the ground to find out what the
fans- wanted, and to look out for-the
best interests of the league,; He says
that the Montana towna are ..In i favor
ot an Intermountaln circuit and are. will
ing' to come as far west aa Spokane,
but that no such combination has been
formed. John McCloskey will be with
the Salt Lake team according to Mr.
Lucas, and Wilmot with Butte, .and
Rellly with Spokane. ' By an order given
by ' the president, E. I. Goodkln, direc
tor of the Pacific National Baseball
league, the $500 forfeited by the Helena
club has been, returned to them accord
ing to the agreements. Other clubs
that did not finish, did not put up forfeit
money, and it was contended that
Helena should not be made to nay tha
forfeit . under the circumstances. Presi
dent Lucas coincided with Mr. Goodkln's
view of the matter and gave him the
order.

tne coast league magnates. .
There are so many different rumort
In .circulation as to tha Pacific Na
tional's Intentions that it leads one to
believe that Measrs. Lucas, Dugdale and
company do not know where they are
at themselves, and are rushing Into
print In the effort to convince the pub
llo of the sincerity of their Intentions.
The report that Dugdale would aban
don Seattle and locate In Bellingham
seems absurd, for what would his high
and mightiness do In a village like that?
Tha Paclfio National league has no Idea
of establishing basebaM there unless
there should be a team In Seattle. On
the other hand, Dugdale la not believed
to be anxious to affiliate with a brush
league, such as will be found necessary
In order to give Bellingham baseball.
Tha only feasible league which would
Include that town, without Seattle,
would. In addition, comprise : Everett,
Vancouver and Victoria.

The recent election of James JosenK

by the undergraduates titan any such,
choice for many years, Says a New
Haven dispatch to the New York Sun.

Captain Hogan has won his laurels hon
estly and is entitled to all the glory
tnat is coming to him.
An Irish lad, -without friends to atd
him or wires to pull, ha has captured
the greatest athletic prise of the course,
and the Yale students are I "proud to
point to his election as strong proof that
tha democracy of Tale Is not dying out.
Aside from what the- new captain, has
done in the last three years on the team
for Yale, Hogan is popular' with every-,
body because of bis personal qualities.
During his two and a half years at
Yale Captain Hogan has been so busy
that he has scarcely had time to maka
many close friends. He earned a large
part of his expenses, and hia work, com-'
bined With the extra work that he toolc
in order to shorten his course and his
athletics have made him the busiest man
in the college. -
"Jim eats, drinks, sleeps, studies and
plays football by" schedule," ; said hia
roommate, "and has followed this plan
ever since I knew him.'V'rt ' --..'k
It Is thla systematic arrangement of
his time that his enabled , him to rank
high In bis classea and take care or
much outside work. , .i;
Hogan prepared for Yale at Exetef
and. It la said, was expecting to enter
Harvard when Mike Murphy, the Yala
trainer, who waa a friend of his fam
ily In Torrlngton. advised him to enter
Yale. Hogan waa -desirous of working
his way through and waa anxious to
enter the university which could aid him
best In gaining an education aa well aa
a livelihood.
He waa captain of the football team
at hla preparatory school and also man
ager of the baseball association, being:
one of the most popular men that ever
went out from Exeter. He finally chosa
Yale, aa It was nearer home and bis .
mother was greatly In favor of the blue.
- His roommate, Cooney, of the Prince
ton eleven, went to the New Jersey
college. After : three years he and hla
former roommate met for the first time
on. the, Yale, gridiron at the .Yale-Princeton
game this year and Cooney was
matched to play, directly opposite Ho
gan," The greeting between the two men
was one of the side plays Of the gama
that the spectators did not appreciate.
"Hello, old man," . said Hogan. as tha
teama lined up and : Hogan, who waa
playing right tackle, found himself op
posite his old-time chum, who was play
ing tha left position, "I'm mighty sorry
to have to punish you tha way I ahall
before the1 gama la over."
, "Well, Jim, I'm glad to: see you," re
plied Cooney. "Do you know that when
we broke up at Exeter I stole your straw
hat aa a souvenir? It's been on my
mind aver sine, and If I live through
this gama I'll meet you afterward and
buy you another, but It needn't ba ai
Straw one.", v . , .s... 'v. '.'
"You'll net need any bat when this
gama Is over," laughingly replied tha
Yala tackle aa ha plunged Into tha gama
aa the ball waa kicked off.
For the last two years Hogan baa been
one of the greatest fighters on the Yala
team. Ha baa indomitable courage and
unlimited pluck., which have stood blm
In good stead both seasons. Possessed,
of a dogged determination when once ha
makes up hla mind, the Yala officials
have learned that . ha can be depended
upon In any emergency.
