Nordyke; played with, San Francisco year before Jast, but was signed by Jay Andrews 'early-last season at a phenomenal sal- ary to play with the Buuchgrassers.

Hildebrand and Mc Laughlin. v--i:-i Tacoma fans will have to become ac customed ' to1 the change in -the playing rules." The. old Northwest and. National leagues played with the foul-strike rule, counting foul strikes i until the batter has ' secured two strikes. ; The straight foul and strike system will prove popu lar here, though, beyond a doubt . Tacoma baseball promoters who are backing Fisher are opposed to entering the National association, They say they have had enough - experience with the minor, leagues, as , every , promise made to President Lucas of support In the war with the Coast league was ignored. SPOKANE TALENT . . -. BET; ON ROYALTY i . ' (Journal Special Herrlee.) , Spokane, JVash.; Jan.' II. The talent went down ' the line on the poolrooms for nearly $6.090 'last week, all on ac count of Harry Green's horse Royalty, ridden at Oakland by Hildebrand. .The bookies are of the opinion that every thing is not Just right and Royalty has been ruled oft the course by the racing officials at Oakland. The final crash came Thursday. A wire came in early tipping Royalty ' to win. The betting was at 4 to 1, house odds, and the strong play backed by odds at to 2 and even. Royalty won easily by a length. . The bookies had been, having hard luck anyway, and were feeling pretty blue when Oakland i; started on " Royalty; rVhen the flash came 1 that the " Green horse had won, the Oxford poolroom crowd was transformed into a riotous; howling - mob. The-cheerssndJWfls nearly raised the roof and brought In crowds from the streets and alleys. Bo great a demonstration was never wit nessed before in' a Spokane poolroom. The race was won at 4:S0 and It was after 6:30 before the weary cashiers had paid off all the' bets, the .lines ex tending sround the room several times.

Bowling Is coming to the front In Spokane and Is the center ' of Interest at present among the sporting fraternity. : Curt Reynolds, one of the crack bowlers of the city, is getting, up a bowling -team, to make a barnstorming tour of ' the i inland em pire. He proposes to start at Rockford, which- town' has' a good team: then "to visit -Colfax, Pullman, Moscow, Palouse and Lewiston. -This will give a good series of games, and Reynolds will have to get a strong team to win from -the combination. . It' now "looks as though there was little prospect for the form ing of a league In this section of the country, and the trip by the Reynolds team would have . the effect or deter mining to a certain degree the . relative strength Of the rival .teams. 'Letters have -been sent to managers of. bowling teams in the towns mentioned asking-for games. If satisfactory arrangements are made the trip will be, taken. It is stated that there will be at least eight more alleys in the oJty next month. This would indicate that there is no let up in the Interest taken in the game. The bowling for' the Coeur- d'Alene ' club championship medal still v goes on with many TJompetltors; while the B.'K A. C. tourney is exciting ' considerable Inter est.. At the 8. A. A.

The meeting of the directors had been advertised to have been held in the afternoon and it was a sudden change on their part to pull it oft in the morning.

Yet with the . deal 1 practically con summated with the coast people, Dug dale kept pledging his word to attend the meeting and continue with the Pa clflo National. No later than a week ago the Seattle oily man gave his promise to President Lucas to come to Spokane and put up his money and at the time complained because In Spokane the papers were criticising him for his ex pected treachery.

COAST LEAGUE -SUBMITS TERMS (Journal Special Service.) - Ban Francisco, Jan. -The commit tee appointed at the recent meeting of the Pacific Coast league to confer with the representatives of the National As sociation - of. Baseball leagues t rsmed up and submitted the terms under which this league would join hands with the national body, to the committee rep resenting that body last week.' " , Whether these terms will prove so- untikU n tha aaaoo.la.tlon is doubt ful . in the extreme, for. as far as can be learned Jlessrs. Harris, jerc ana Morley made the . proposed affiliation agreement; an iron-bound contract with every .clause In. favor , of the coast or ganization, and It is highly improbable that the Eastern associations will - be wininr ,a nonnada all these demands. When interviewed on the subject Man ager Harris stated: . - "It la like this; we sent the committee our terms last week. We stated .exactly under what conditions we would Join the leagues' association- in ' other words, accept the national agreement; and if they can't see thelr' way clear to take us in they won't ' come ' out here. Of course, if .there, are only some minor differences to be adjusted we will proba bly see them. I am looking for an an swer to our terms any day. They reached Chicago a couple, of days sgo" .

The coming athletic event affects lo cal amateur circles to a greater extent than some people imagine. The mem bers of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club and the local T. M. C. A. , are en gaged in preparing preliminary tourna ments from which representatives will be chosen to represent each organisation at 8t Louts. Out at ths Multnomah club the great est activity is shown, where, under the direction of Athletic Instructs. Joseph Acton, several, promising young men are striving to qualify themselves for the honor ot representing, the, winged "M" at the world's exposition. Wrestling and boxing are the prin cipal sports now being practiced by the lads, but as soon as the weather permitji track events will receive attention. As rowing is to be another source of competition for the amateur, the local oarsmen are commencing to agitate the sending ot individuals as well ss teams to compete In the aquatic tournament, which is to.be held orf Late Creve Couer, which Is situated a to-mlnuts ride from tha arnnnttlnn r rounds. The' affair will be called the world's Olympic regatta snd an effort Is being made to . secure the nest rowing ana sculling crews from every country on the globe to participate. ; As the city of Portland has the . necessary water courses that are required to develop aquatic ' sports and 'those are of the finest that can be had anywhere, the lo cal oarsmen are In duty bound to rep resent this city In the world's fair, con tests. - , ' : s '.-- L There is plenty of time between now and July I-I0 the date of the. event. to round a creditable local crew Into shape and enter them in the competition.

Ths Mlssourlans have to be shown and - there are local athletes competent ' enough to show them. . WHY SHOULD LEAGUE : - FAVOR DUGDALE? The rumor in circulation to the effect that D. E. Dugdale Is to become man aver , of the Portland Browns for 1901 cannot be verified. ... Just why. the Coast league should be under obligations enough to his genial fatness that they should have to furnisn him with, a baseball team , in a Coast Uague town, after, having driven him out of one town, la hard to Understand. 1 True, Dugdale sold out his interests in Seattle for a good price ' but ' not until he found that the Pacific National league was an unstable concern- and likely tp founder at any time, so like the fox he .is, ho Immediately lookd for an advantageous opportunity to sell, his Interests to A. Lou Cohen, bis rival in the -sound city. : -:Hs;i,:fti?-:'''',' ' The desertion of ' Tacoma ' was the downfall "of Dugdale's hopes of a .
