Walter McCredie and fellow owners In the Coast league' are In confab in Ban Francisco today over the 1917 schedule for the Coast league, and while magnates are selecting the "at home and abroad" dates for the six teams, they will no doubt give serious discussion to the effects of a declara tion of war on baseball, particularly the Coast league. President Al Baum has Invited Eddie Maler. who made some "sorehead" charges about the other Coast league clubs trying to beat him out of a pen nant, to be present in person and stats his charges. Maler has not accepted - the offer, and the coast magnates con sider the charges so trivial that they will probably not mention them. It rs quite likely that the players' fitaiternlty may come in for some dis cussion, but inasmuch as the Coast players are signing up. in good meas ure, the talk will probably be of an J Idte nature. " If it Is "considered serious enough 1 to warrant, consideration, of course , some plan will be evolved for meeting s the threatened walkout on the Chicago Cubs when they leave for Pasadena, February 20. The strike appears to '.' be a dead Issue at this time, many S. players becoming holdouts because their salaries were cut, and not on account of fraternity affiliations.

Apparently, however, this doesn't always work out. If Leo Johnson, "the second Joe Gans," hadn't made Joe Welling so "mad" In their recent bout, ' Johnson may not have lost the fight so decisively and almost certainly would not have come to within an Inch of being knocked out. "H got my goat.' says Welling, speaking of the engagement. "He butted me so hard in the back ray neck hurt, and for the first time In my life I was really mad, I went after him to finish him then, and I saw red. He danced all over. the ring and made me madder than ever. He's some de fensive fighter all right. A fellow could learn a lot boxing with him every day. I'd like to have him for a parring partner. He may not be a Second Joe Gans, but believe m he's a tough bird."

Percy Haughton started it when .he declared the of fensive side of baseball needed some changes, and then outlined a few. Now they're all doing It. They've advo cated everything that could be thought of, almost, including abolition of curve balls. One of the most recent suggestions along these lines 1m that a pitcher pot be allowed to pitch his first two balls to the batter in the curve fashion. Each of the first two heaves should . be straight and above board, it is contended. In this case the batter would get a toe hold, lean far back and take a Whack at the old cripple. He would be look ing for it. Consequently the infielders would be ducking and the pitcher would be flat on the ground-by the time tlhe ball reached the plate. " Of course, there are other things in the ' suggestions, among which is one that the pitcher not be compelled to place his first two offerings over the plate. He could make them a little wild If he wanted to and then hook over three for strikes. Naturally the batter would want those first ones and probably Would take a crack at them even if tfiey didn't come close. Another suggestion is that' the foul Mbrike rule be amended. One person even would have the foul lines moved farther to the left or right as the case might be to take in more ter ritory. This person rightfully exclaims that when a batter gets hold of one and cracks it down the right or left field foul line a mile a minute he should be entitled to all the glory that goes with such a performance. He should either have . the benefit of knocking the wihey out of the ball, he believes, or should not be charged with a strike. The abolition of the spit-ball has re ceived serious attention and promises to be the ona point that will be deeply considered. Governor John K. Tener, president of . the National league. Is one of those who believe that foreign substances, as represent ed by the spit ball, are not needed In baseball. .Rainier, Or., Feb. o. tainier high school won both basketball games here I - ' 3 - UIBl J defeated the Kelso first 37 to 4 and the Rainier seconds trimmed the Kelso seconds 46 to 3. Furer and Gallagher were the big stars of the fray, scoring 29 of Rainler's 37 points. A remarka ble coincidence of the two games was that neither Kelso team shot a field basket, their only points being made on goals converted from the foul line. About 50 students from the Kelso high school accompanied their team and enjoyed a reception in the hiash school rooms after the games. Next Satur day Rainier will play Clatskarrfe and the result will psobably decide the Colombia countyS championship, a each team has dropped a game to the other. Hood River, Or., Feb. 5.

NOTES OF GOLF WORLD Francis Oulmet would be foolhardy. Indeed, to give up his Interests in the sporting goods business to regain his amateur standing with the United States Golf association. Boston friends of Ouimet say that he has a $30,000 business at his finger tips, and that it requires so much of his attention that it is doubtful If he would consider giving It up to take part in amateur tournaments. Figures Issued by Chicago's Park commissioners show that 635.00 rounds of golf were played over thu public links of that city during 191. 800,000 of which were played over the celebrated Jackson and Marquetto couses. As Chicago has an unusual number of private and semipublic golf courses, it is estimated that more than a million rounds were played in the Windy City and suburbs uurlnc 1916. St. Louis is to have another munici pal golf course. Xetrott is one of the big cities that have not provided goif courses of this kind for residents. Both amateur and professional golf ers have found that cotton f- gloves serve them much better than any other kind when playing in rainy weather. It has been found that a golfer can cover a greater number of holes with gloves of the cotton variety before his club will commence to slip. And the only way to be prepared for rain is to carry them always as a necessary part of the golfing outfit. Willie Lelth, northwest open golf champion in 191(, has resigned as professional of the Butte Country club. Prior to going to Butte, Lelth was connected with one of ths Taeo ma, Wash., clubs. 41 TJ. of 0. Students Must Leave School Thlrty-oae Mem, Oa 2roalaat la Athletes, and 10 Women.

Of the 31 men only one was peromlnent in ath letics. For a few of this number there Is still a glimmer of hope. A faculty committee meets tomorrow forenoon to investigate cases where errors have been made or where leniency- would be advisable. There were 33 who fell under the scholastic bar last February. Considering the Increased enrollment the proportion falling this year is practically the same as- last. Taking both semesters, about 8 per cent of the students drop below the standard each year and are required to stay out for a semester. The university authorities are at tempting to raise the scholastic stand ing 10 per cent a year. Mayor of Astoria Plans Dance, Picnic Astoria, Or., Feb. 6.
