Christmas Gifts for Sportsmen
Few, if any, sportsmen have so many
guns that they wouldn't welcome gladly
a Winchester rifle or shotgun for a
Christmas remembrance. One of the
latest models will perhaps make your,
sportsman friend's equipment complete.
As for the boys, there is many a young
Nimrod who has to borrow a gun when
he goe3 hunting who would rather have
a Winchester rifle or shotgun for a
present than anything else. Aren't
there some such cases on your Christmas
list? Winchester guns are made m all

, meet the requirements of every purpose,
' every pocketbook, and every taste.

Fielder Jones.
Seattle. Dee. 21. Fielder Jones, the old leader of the Chicago White Sox,
will be elected president of the Northwestern league this afternoon. The ap
plication of Walla Walla, for a franchise, will be reported unfavorably, and
the circuit will remain as at present, with an Improved schedule that will give
Seattle continuous bnll, excepting only six days In the entire season.
This, in a nutshell. Is the action that will be taken at the directors' meet
ing of the Northwestern league this afternoon. The election of Jones has
been agreed upon, as well as the other points at Issue, and Judge McCredle
has the schedule prepared. There will be no argument on this point.
WOLVERTON ONCE
SOLD FOR 5 BUCKS
New Highlander Manager Was
Among Cheap Exchanges;
Atz Had 15 Cents Sale.
You all know Harry Wolverton, but
you all don't know that he was once
sold for a five spot. Now that Harry
has been released by the Oakland club
for a lump sum to the New York Amer
icans, which he will manage next year,
the stories are coming out. It was back
In 1897, when Harry was with the
Columbus, Ohio, club of the Tri-Stato
league. He wasn t much of a ball player
then, but he was keen on picking up
the fine points of the game. During
the middle of the season John F. Mul
ligan, now Inspector of the Muskogee
water works had the Columbus club.
H was offered to by Manager Bob
Ouinn of the Eclipse team for Wolver
ton and the offer was accepted on the
soot. From that time on Wolverton's
rise was rapid and he became a big
league star with the Philadelphia Na
tlonals, hitting in the .300 class at third
base at least two successive years. In
1901 he hit .308 and In 1903 at exactly
the same figures.
Ats and Dunn Trad.
Wolverton's sale price brings to mind
a little exchange that was fixed up at
the big league meeting the other day
between our old friend Jakey Ats of
the Providence club, and Jack Dunn of
the Baltimore club. They were talking
about Pitcher Pierce.
"How much would you givo for him?"
asked Atz. "Oh, I wouldn't give higher
than IB cents," came back Dunn.
"Taken," said Atz, and he made out
an agreement which both managers
signed.
Dunn handed over 15 cents. Atz
looked at It for a moment and then
said:
"Here, Jack, I've never skinned any
one yet. Take this hack and I'll give
you a bonus of 15 cents."
The Providence owners, however, re
fused to ratify tho agreement.
Judge McOradle's System.
That reminds one of the little affair
that Judge McCredle has been In the
habit of pulling off between the North
western Colts and the Portland Beavers.
Kvery time the Judge wants to transfer
a player from the Portland (In. W. L,.)
to the Portland (P. C. L.) he takes a
dollar out of one pocket, drops It into
another and utters a few magic words.
Then he writes something on a paper
and sends It to Serretary Farrell of tho
National association for filing. There
fore Tom Sea ton, Turn Murray, Fred
Lamllne and the others can pride them
selves on the fact that they have been
sold for ono slmoleon.
One of the funniest things about n
player's contract came up a couple of
years ago. when Walter McCredle re
leased John Bassey. McCredle was sore
on Bassey's playing, but being frugal,
wanted to sell him to another club.
However, nobody offered anything for
Bassey and the latter bothered the life
out of Walter for his release. Ho would
waylay Mac every day and beg for his
release. Finally it got to such' a point
that Mac told Bassey to call at hlu
office the next day and get his written
release. Bassey turned up happy as n
claim at high tide, but his Joy turned
to horror as he read tho words over
McCredle's signature that parted him
from the Portland club: "I hereby re
lease John Bassey throw him in the
mill race."
Waivers on MoX,oan.
Cincinnati has asked waivers on big
Larry McLean, the boss comedian, but
the Chicago Cubs refused to waive and
the former Portland backstop will prob
ably be with the Herrmann crew again.
Larry has been with tho Reds a lit
tle more than five years. He was se
cured from the Portland club, of the
Paclflo Coast league, In tho fall of 1900,
and reported late that season in time
to catch several "games and show his
natural ability in the backstopplng line.
The next season, under the management
of Ned Hanlon, he did some remarka-i.
ble work.
Ote Johnson, who used to do the home
run stunt for the Beavers, then went to
New York, only tq bo farmed to Jersey
City, from which he went back to the
Highlander, will play shortstop with
Bochestor next year. He was turned
over Jo Rochester along with Outfielder
Martin.

A: A. U. PRESIDENT
TO
T
Kirby Promises to Be the Best
Leader Amateur Athletes
Have Ever Had.
In the election of Gustavus T Kirby
to the presidency of the Amateur Ath
letic union, at the recent meeting of
the many delegates held in New York,
amateur athletics throughout the coun
try has received one of the greatest
incentives in the history of sport. Kir
by is equal to the existing conditions
and Is everything that could be de
sired in a leader for America's govern
ing body over amateur athletics.
The new president is the youngest
man to occupy the position that has
been thrust upon him at the solicita
tion of every one interested in the wel
fare of the Amateur Athletic union.
He was born In Philadelphia in 1874
and was educated in the public schools
of that city. For 15 years Klrby has
been Identified with amateur sports.
Columbia university claims Kirby as
a graduate, and he was formerly ac
tively connected with the athletics of
his alma mater. He has been a mem
ber of the executive committee of the
Intercollegiate Athletic association,
for which organization he has labored
to good purpose. In addition to head
ing the Amateur Athletic union, the
popular president is treasurer of the
Playground and Recreation Association
of America and a member of the recre
ation commission of New York city,
appointed to the position by Mayor
Gaynor.
President Klrby will visit the coast
in March during an Inspection of the
athletlo situation. He is scheduled to
he In Los Angeles on February 22. the
date of tho Southern association's
track and field championships, and
will most likely witness some of the
important meetings later.
Secretary Treasurer James E. Sulli
van, of tho Amateur Athletic union, in
speaking of Kirby, says: "I am glad
Klrby has been selected because he has
done treat work In the past for the
uplifting of athletics. I am confident
that he will be a success in the presi
dent's chair, and tnough I suppose he
will have to sacrifice some of his bus!
ness, he won't regret it. His ability
as a lawyer should help him untangle
the many Intricate matters bound to
come up during his tenure of office,
