PATRICK IS NOT GOING INTO GAME ' I - - 9 tr':"'; J' '7'-' f : " ' - ' ' " President of Coast League, Will Be Missing With Other Yeter '"ans of Hockey Sport. PHILADELPHIA BASEBALL STARS VHO FIGURED IN BIG DEALS IN MAJORS LAST WEEK: Bjr A. P. Garrey Vmcouver. B. C Dec. 15. -When Pa cific eoast puck chasers start their annual-championship derby along about January 1, ona ani possibly two ot tha veteran performers who hars thrilled hockey fans of the country with their spectacular performance during the past decade or more will be missing from the lineups. Frank Patrick, president of the Pacific Coast Hocke association manager or tne Vancouver team and generalissimo of hockey forces west of the Rockies, to day. announced his permanent retire znent from the game as a player. Si Griff la. former Kenora star and for the oast five years captain of the iYancouvtr club, is the., other player Who is contemplating" retirement. Les ter Patrick, manager of the Spokane club, and one of the oldest puck chas ers in the country in point of service will not retire, but announces that he will only figure as a substitute this season. - - ' Both Frank Patrick and Si Griffis ! have prepared their valedictory ad- i dresses for presentation to the hockey populace. There is a chance, so rumor has it. that the latter may reconsider his decision,-but with Patrick , it Is final. "I'm through as a player," de clared the coast prexy with emphasis when queried concerning his plans for the coming season. '"It was a heart breaker for me to keep going last sea son and I do not Intend even donning the- skates and refereeing. Hereafter I'll devote all of my time to the ex ecutive end of the business on the coast." Had Ko Superior The retirement of Patrick from the game means the passing of one of the greatest. If not the greatest player who ever handled a stick In Canadian hockey. Starting to senior company when but 17 years jd- age, he baa bean 'playing without a Treak for the past 15 seasons, first as a member of one fit the Montreal clubs, then with Renfrew, Ont., liter with Nelson, B. C.t and then with the ; Vancouver club. He broke Into senior company long before "Moose" Johnson, . Portland's veteran : Art Ross, the Montreal star, arid a number of others who are now rated as old timers. As a defence player there are few better than Pat rick. Fearless, daring In attack, a wonder ' f ul' stick handler, fast and possessing wonderful Judgment, .he has played brilliantly during the many years ot service with the various teams. Strange to relate, however, . it was not until the season of 1914-16 that he fiaaily landed with-u pennant winner. Ha piloted the Vancouvera that sea son, when they won the Pacific, coast ' championship and later - defeated Ot tawa In a series for the Stanley cup, ' emblematic of the world's champion ship. 4 The retirement of Patrick leaves a ' big gap In the Vancouver lineup and : If Griffis, old Kenora wixard, also drops out the strong man defense of t)i MIlIlnnstrM will Ytft, ah rt to nlAMS. Patrick and Griffis proved a most ..formidable plar of defense players In the- Coast league since the inception : of the game in these parts. i Beat Dowa Eastern League Patrick has not only proved himself one of the most, remarkable puck chasers of the past decade, but he has - clearly won honors as one or the best leaders in the hlstorv of tha fame. as president of the Pacific coast sam Crawford or Jack Coombs , little part in building) up strong clubd In v the different cities. He it was who went to the mat with the Nation al Hockey association leaders a few years , ago when they would not listen to reason, and the result of this . war was the raiding of the eastern strongnoias ana ine subsequent cap ture of pretty nearly every player worth grabbing. A-r Two trades, which involved 10 players and cash amounting to close to $110,000, robbed the Quaker city ot . Its five brilliant players. From left to right the players are: Pitcher Alexander, who with his battery mate, Kill if er, has been traded to the Chicago Cubs for Pitcher Pendergrast and Catcher "Pickles' Dil hoefer; Wally Schang, eateher; Jo-Bush, pitcher, and Amos S trunk, outfielder, who were- secured by Boston in exchange for Pitcher Vean Gregg, Catcher Thomas and Outfielder Kopp and $60,000, and Catcher BUI Killifer, included in the Alexander deal. Alexander and Killifer were sold by the National league elub and Schang, Bush and Strunk by the Americans. The transactions hare aroused a storm of protest from Philadelphia fans, who see the rtal stars of the two elubs lost to the elty Waah mgton at at Given More Lead!

Bush had made a wonderful rec ord with the Athletics during the past several seasons. With Boston he should be a star of the first rank. Vean Gregg staged a wonderful "come back" In the International league last season, but whether the former great port-slder will be able to stick in the majors remains to be seen. He won 21 and lost 9 games with Providence dur ing 1917. Thomas has been on the Bos ton team for several seasons, but baa not been played very regularly. The St. Louis pitching staff, the weax spot of Fielder Jones' lineup in 1917, will be bolstered by the addition or Gallia, the Waahlngton star. In ex change for Gallia, Waahlngton receives Inflelder Lavan and Outfielder Ehotten. The swapping of Zach Wheat, the Brooklyn outfielder, tor Chuck Wort man, the Cub shortstop. Is about even. Wortman's presence will help the Dodger Infield, while Wheat will add strength to the Cub outfield. Weeghman'a decision to trade Wort man probably means that Charley Hol 1 other, who was purchased from the Portland Beavers. Is being depended upon to fill up the gap in the Cub in field, Chicago also added great strength to Us lineup by securing Alexander and Killefer.

Ball fans demand new faces. and It appears as though the majors nave aoopcea this policy. Philadelphia, Dec 15. (U. P.) A drive against major league baseball tn PhUadelphU has been started by local newspapers following transactions which took Alexander and KUUier rrom the Phillies and wound up- with the sale of the only speedy bell players left to tha Athletics ' "Do the business men who control the great American game of baseball in Philadelphia Intend to erase the sport as a major athletlo activity la this ctty. In the first of the scandal ous pair of transactions there appears to be only one answer. It Is speuea with three letters yes." was the com ment of Billy Rocap, sport editor of the Publle Ledger. James isamlnger, sport editor of the North American : "Stuffy Mclnnls ts ths only player of quality left on the team Athletics) and It is said he has enlisted or is going to enlist. That means that ths Athletics will have to open the season with something like a Delaware eountty league lineup."
