Louisville secured Howard in 1910. but'
after two seasons with the Kentucky
club he wa eold to St. Paul.
.San Francisco secured him In 1913
and he succeeded Danny Long as man
ager of the Seals. Howard remained
with the Seals for two seasons and
after having built up a splendid aggre
gation of players was replaced as man
ager by Harry Yolverton, who was
manager of the Sacramento teams In
1913 and 1914. With Wolverton at
the helm, San Francisco won the pen
nant in 1915.
Howard was not connected with any
club in 1915, but toward the close of
the 1916 season he was offered the
managership of the Oakland team,
which he accepted and this season he
expects to have a team that will be
in the race for the pennant.
As a batsman, Howard's record Is
very good. He started in at a .300
clip after playing semi-pro baseball
and then dropped below the .100 mark
In 1913 with San Francisco, be topped
the league with the mark of ,358 and

Walter A. Goss,, sectional - delegate
of '-. the United 'States National Lawn
Tennis - association, .'.yesterday an
nounced the' dates . of- the Important
championship tournaments of ' the
northwest district tor the 191T season.
They are: '
' Inland Ilmpirc championships, Spo
kane, Wash.r June 30 to July . 4, in
clusive. ' . ? !; . ; - '
Oregon Stata championships, Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic club. Port
land, July .23 to July 28, inclusive.
Northwest championships, Tacoma,
Wasli., July SO-to August 4. inclusive.
Washington State championships.
fSeattle, Wash., August 6 to August
11, inclusive.
Indications are that this year will
be a Abanner one in. tennis. The or
ganization of the northwest district
by the United States National Tennis
association has greatly increased the
Interest in this sport and'rrecord
breaking entry, lists are looked for in
each championship event,
, Juniors to Oct Chance.
, In connection with the various tour
neys, Goss is trying to arrange for
the. , playing of Junior championship
events, tne, "winners to meet in a
aeries of matches for the northwest
title.. It ler likely that the Junior
events this year will be deeided dur
ing the Washington state champion
ships at Seattle. .
Letters have ; been forwarded the
-varibus tehnia clubs In this district
advlsiOg them, of the plans adopted
and It is believed that they will meet
witn approval.
Goss - la also communicating with
the clubs on the subject of the north
west doubles championships, the win
ners of which .will likely be entered
in the national doubles championship
tournament to be atatred at Long
wood during the latter part of the
summer.. Owing to tha fact that this
Is the ' first time that the northwest
has had an opporunlty to be repre
sented in the national doubles, more
than tne usual . Interest Is being taken
by the J3 layers of the various clubs.
To Coach Totmg-sters.
Goss himself win take charge of
the-Juhior tournament here, and there
is some likelihood or this event being
staged prior to the state tournament
on account .of the limited number of
courts at the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic club.
In view of creating interest among-
tha Junior players, Goss Is making
arrangements to devote a little time
each week to four or five boya from
each high, school district. This should
prove very beneficial to the young
sters and It Is likely that other local
veteran players will lend a hand in
this movement. ,
The usual number of California
cracks are expected to visit the north
west again this season. In view of
the fact that tha Portland. Tacoma
and Seattle tournament follow In or
der. It is expected that all theCali
forniahs who come north will play
through each tournament.

Feb. 24. One . of the most amusing
things of the training camp occurred
ths other night when two of the
newspapermen attended a party at the
Alexander Young hotel. One of them
was attired. In a Palm beach outfit
while ths coolness of the night air
called for an overcoat. Desiring to
check the outer garment he ap
proached a bench containing ths Jap
anese bell hops in whits attire. A
young fellow, also in white, was
leaning against one of ths massivs
pillars. Desiring to save steps, ths
scribe touched ths person standing
on the shoulder, with "Hers boy.
check this coat for me."
The young man turned around,
smiled pleasantly, and replied:
"I'd like to accommodate you, but
I don't work here."
On the; collar of his coat was a
gold U. 6. and on the shoulders a
single gold bar, denoting his rank;
in ths service. His cap had been
concealed , under his arm.

New York.. March 3. tL N. S.)
Connie Mack la determined to win
back his choice eeat In the baseball
spotlight. lie will not ba contented
until the name "of McGillicuddy be
comes a household byword once again,
and although ltnay take him several
seasons to regain his once enviable
position in tha ranks of baseball pilots,
he will keep n hammering away until
hl desire is gratified.
When Mack broke up his famous
championship machine he was none
too liberal in giving reasons for his
action. If he wanted to wreck a win
ning club it was his right to do so. and
he did not feel that the baseball world
needed to knbw every detail about it.
- Strong tor Discipline.
Since that time tha busy scribes
have made discoveries, or at least they
thought so, and It Is generally agreed
that the Athletics wers broken up be
cause of two things. One was the
half-hearted way in which rmiaaei-
phia fans supported the Mackmen,
even when they were , "two-io-one
shots" against any club In either big
league. Another waa a lack of com
plete harmony in the club. And Mack
determined that managerial discipline
and routine should be upheld.
Mack has never been known to spend
a fortune for ball player. Likewise
h is not numbered" among the most
liberal managers In the war or pay
lna big salaries. And it has often
hn that certain members of hla I
one-time world beaters wanted to get
away. Mack knew tnis ana aciea ac
cordinely. '
But now Mack is looking ahead
toward better things for the Athletics.
He is satisfied he has the nucleus for
another championship club and he is
through selling star players.
Throngn Veiling Stars.
At the recent American league meet
irg one of ths club owners approached
Mack with an offer for Pitcher Leslie
Bush
"How much will you take for Bush?"
the prospective purchaser inquired.
And Mack answered in positive tones:
I wouldn't sell him for 150.000. I
a'm through selling my star players
t a m min; to hold on to all of I
them, even though they should con- Johnson, however, he will have to dls

I got another big wad of money for oouts in tne locai ring miui. v

Murphy. But baseball conditions were
different two years ago."
Asked what he thought of the
chances of the Athletics in this year's
pennant chase. Mack said that he
could make no prediction.
"We have bought some promising
young players rrom tne minor
leagues," said Mack, "and I believe
they will fill the bill. If not we will
go after others. That is all I can
say."
And Mack's determination to build
tip Instead of tear down is ,a source
of satisfaction to his American league
colleagues, for the Athletics were poor
drawing cards both at home and on
tne rota last season, ana rival ciuo
wners. while they naturally look to
their, own Interests first, want to see
the Athletics capable of giving a good
account of themselves.
