But we have our doubts about the straight of the story. It looks more like another Weeghman press agent yarn than anything else, for Carey, star that he is, certainly doesn't look as good to Dreyfuss as fifty thou. It appears that some of the magnates are running hog wild In their estimates of player values In these uncertain times. There are few ball players In the busi ness who would bring 350,000. even In times of peace. it' ' A ' ' MMNaaasinaanaaaManaaBiKa , ""a '"'-'1, 'V ?-''','"",' 7 ;J a ' 'S'' '' ' ' - ' 'Mi ALEXANDER SOON TO BE A 'HAS BEEN' Pigeons to Race 500 Miles t t at ? ? r. atataraciax Tillamook to Race Locals Interclub plceon racing win be tried next year for tha first time. In the Northwest and the two clubs to give .the game a trial will be the Portland and the Tillamook or ganizations. The Tillamook club, which is new to the sport but which is composed of some experienced flyers, has challenged the Portland club and the deft has been accepted. The race will be held sometime during the summer. The Portland birds will be liberated at Spokane and the Tillamook birds 50 miles this side, corresponding to the greater airline distance to Tillamook. A valuable prize will bo firen the winning club. Portland fanciers will do some thing this year a little more Impos ing than in the past, and that will be . a match race of some BOO miles from Harrison, Mont., to Portland. Three who have pledged birds for the race are : Jimmy Dunn, C. E. Henshaw and E. Klnderman. This will be the longest race scheduled by the Portland fanciers since the memorable flight several years ago 'from Oakland, Cal., over 700 miles. In view of the amount of talk that has been heard over this race, it is likely that there will be more entrants when the time comes to send the birds away.

Mothers should give cross, sick, bilious or feverish V children a whole Cascaret any time Jhey et thoroughly and are harmless. .1 . .... (Adv.) Two of the best tf otters in California Esperanza (2 :04) and Zeta Lucile (2 :064) will probably be raced on the grand circuit next season, deals for the purchase of these two horses having been completed recently by Chicago drivers, Dick McMahon and Ed. Dean. The horses- were bought from the R. J. McKenzie collection at Pleasanton, Cal., n nd will be trained during the winter at Macon, Ga. Are Fast Trotters Two of the fastest and gamest trot ters racing this year were - Lu , Princeton (:04Vi) and St. Frl3co (2:01). Both arc by San Francisco, and their work has given that stallion such a boom his book for 1918 filled up at a big fee. Neither horse is the best galted one in the world, but they have terrific speed, and will hang on from wire to wire, no matter what they are up against In the way of a competitor. Lu Princeton is lazy, but the only way to encourage him Is by Bhiftlng the' bit in his mouth, as the use of the whip merely makes him stubborn. When the wire Is reached he dtgs his toes Into the ground and stops In a few steps, apparently dis gusted with the whole performance, but when brought out for the next heat he will try as hard as ever. The pacer Frank Bogahr Jr. (1:59), grand circuit celebrity of a few sea sons ago. Is to race on the Ice this win ter, and as he took a hand in that game in Canada before he became famous, is expected to pay his way. This winter the two important meetings hereabouts are at Mount Clemens, Mich., and Cran- vsood, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, both halt-mile tracks. The Michigan course gave a successful meeting a year ago, aid this season is equipped with a steam-heated grand stand that is ex pected to be filled dally, as the town l'.ids a large transient population on ac count of the mineral springs there. The Cranwood experiment will come pretty near to telling whether or not winter roces lor narness norses win pay, as It must be supported wholly by that part of Cleveland's population which is hun gry for the sport all the year. The sipht of a pacer with a record better than 2 :00 competing for winter oats will be a new one at all events. Geers Passes One Up Some years ago Ed Geers brought out a 8-year-old pacer called Homer Baugh- man ana gave mm a recora or z :08i4. which held the horse so effectually he was not thereafter prominent on the turf, and passed from one owner to an other until an Ohio man got him last summer. In the way of general ex- X'rimentatlon he slipped a pair of- Supples on the pacer, tried him out on a half-mile track, and discovered to his delight the horse was a wonder in the new rig, able to beat 2 :10 with supreme ease. And as Homer Baughman has several seconds' time allowance coming to him he can start In a slow class next summer, where he is expected to clean up, as on a two-lap course the pacers tnat can beat 2 :10 and get Into a slow class naturally win nearly all their races, whereis on the big mile tracks it would take miles under 2 :05 o get any part of the money. . fVTEW YORK, Jan. B. (TJ. P.) sale of Grover Cleveland Alexander to the Chicago Cubs did more than merely shake the foundations of the National league with a cold and rasp-1 ing rattle. The news laid hold of Phil-1 adelphla skeletons as it skidded up and down Peacock alley and rattled the old bones of hidden Philly skeletons until magnates, fans and critics almost trem bled. William F. Baker opened up the cas ket and displayed the bones of the care fully hidden skeleton. It seems that Baker grew considerably jeeved when criticism began to whizz around his head for the sale of his star batteryi So he immediately began giving his reasons and spilled the news that Grover Alex ander is one of the boys who do not keep themselves In the best of condition. Habits Hurting Star Alexander, according to President Baker, was sold for Just that reason. Baker does not believe Alexander's ef fectiveness will be so pronounced next season, and declares he sees a beginning of the end of the power that lurks in the famous pitcher's right arm. He be lieves If he had tarried a year to cut the strings that bound player and club together his star's value would have de creased until it would have touched at about 315,000. Alexander's habits, ac cording to Baker, are rapidly cutting the star's worth and soon will lay him among the hasbeens. Baker, however, declared he parted from Alexander with the friendliest of feelings. He pointed to the brilliant path the star right-hander has left as a monument In Philadelphia and asserted there isn't another pitcher in the busi ness who would have been able to keep up under ;the strain of such hard work. Kllllfer in "Bad" The case of Killlfer, who goes to Chi cago with Alexander, according to Baker, is considerably different. There is a distinct peeve existing in Philadel phia over the way KUlifer has acter. He antagonized Baker last fall at the end of the season, according to the club president when he flung himself out of the Philly office and announced he would quit baseball. He had been Informed a salary cut would be necessary. Ac cording to Baker. Killifer was on the market and would have been traded to some club without Alexander being in cluded had the Chicago offer not come along. Another cog Is expected to be knocked from the Philly machine before spring. Fred Luderus. It is said, will be released. Matty's Record Is Untouched Christy Mathewson's record of low hit games stands out untouched in major league annals. The former star of the New York Nationals, during the 16 years that he hurled the peilct for the Giants, pitched 57 games of three hits and less This mark exceeds the total of Ed Plank, the veteran southpaw of the American league, by a dozen games. The great Walter Johnson of Wash ington has pitched 41 low hit games and Grover Alexander has twirled 20 in seven years. Matty is the only ona of the four stars who has pitched no-hit games, he having accomplished this feat twice during his career, the first in 1901 and the second In 1905. Following are the records of the pitchers: Pltchei- Years. 0-Hit. 1-Hit. 2-Hlt Mathewson iu 2 4 is Plank 17 0 2 12 Johnson n o 6 15 Alexander ...7- 0 5 8 I-Hlt.

McAlpln of the Port land Lawn Tennis association will call a meeting of the delegates of the various local clubs sometime during this month for the purpose of electing new officers and making plans for the coming season. The action of the executive committee of the United States Lawn Tennis asso elation in recommending that all cham pionship play be revived during 1918, will create a greaj. deal of interest in the court game despite the fact that many of the leading players in all sections are in the country's service. 1 The association was organized last spring and conducted inter-club matches between the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic club, Irvlngton Tennis club. Laurel hurst club and Reed college. The rainy weather during tha early fall caused a cancellation of the schedule of the asso ciation, mit this did not dampen the en thusiasm of the backers of the organi zation. Plans for this season will call for the staging of the state, city. Junior and lnter-club matches. The state champion ship tourney will bo held either on the courts of the Irvington club or the Lau relhurst club. The matter of game protection has been rightfully placed by the United States government In the hands of the department of agriculture. This interest is Inseparably con nected with the men who till our soil or occupy our acres. The days of hunting on no man's land" are over In almost all parts of this country The farmer is the man on the ground and the game Is as much his to raise and protect as his other crops. And In many cases it is of as much value to him, if he knows how to market It, as 1 any of the others. He would not let his own or his neighbors' boys tramp down his half grown wheat or set the dogs on his sow with a litter of suckling pigs. Fatal to Sport But he will say nothing to them for robbing nests, trapping half-grown coveys of partridge, running the dogs the year 'round on rabbits, chasing to death a brood of flappers in the near-by marsh where the local ducks nest, or pot shooting before the season Is open, or a thousand other things that are fatal to the game, and he will very often even go so far as to participate in these sports himself.

The culver lads presented Peck with a handsome watch when ho left to join ills battery. , , - Welling Anxious to Battle Ben Leonard Joe Welling, now a member of the United States navy, still Is wondering" why Benny Leonard doesn't take a crack at him, since Benny has declared himself the champion recognizer of ability. Of all the contenders whose claims appear to carry any weight of evidence, that of Welling seems to be the most logical. Irish Patsy CHne drew a six-round crack at tha champion's crown, and .Cline's record doesn't bristle with the important victories Welling has scored. Chances are, too, that Cline Is going to be given another crack. Maybe Johnny Dundee will be given an oppor tunity, but there seems' hardly a chance that Welling will be sent against the i ew lightweight title holder. . Gilmour Dobie Hands Football Captain a Bunch Tbat little talk Gllraour Doble, the Savy coach, gave to Sol Metzgar cob eernlng football captains, recalls a story heard at Annapolis the day the Middles coaqaered the Georgetown eleven. "Doble Is running this squad, nak no mistake about that," came the story. "But It didn't come In a min ute. When he took charge of the squad most of the 191 players were on a cruise, not reporting for football until Doble had been working wtu the candidates for a couple of weeks. "As soon as Captain Yon Helmberg appeared, he went Into conference with Dobie, listening for the first' time to the westerner's theories of football. He said little, bat within a day or two the avy captain held up practice one afternoon to remonstrate with Doble about something or other. "Oat of the llae-up cams Yon Helmberg, and he remained on the bench tor the next two or three games played by the team.

Cof froth might come through wlti a tempting offer for a fight of long duration, may as well pick out soma ether point that looks good to a boxer. Coffroth la not going to stage any fights at Tla Juana. As a matter or fact, he gave the project consideration only once, and that was more than a year ago. Kven before the government stepped in and put a stop to his rac ing activities, James had long sines discarded any Idea of putting on some top notch pugilists. In a statement to the United Press Coffroth said: "I do not intend to stage any fight at Tla Juana, despite the fact that I continually read in the papers that I em going to. Howeverr I do not objeot to the constantly repeated stories. It makes something to read about." Time was, when Sunny Jim was tha real promoter of the west. He staged tome of the biggest bouts the Pacific coast has seen. Tho Wniard-Gunboav Smith bout, which has been a snattet of much dispute, was one of the his toric battles produced by the veteran. It may be that some twist will give Coffroth a chance to change his mind, since the Lower California Jockey President Arthur K. Downs of the Portland Gun club ' has announced tho conditions under which the added bird tourney wlllj shot during the months of February .larch and April. Three capital prizes have been of fered, Phil Metschan of the Imperial hotel donating a beautiful cup, H. B. Newland offering the Downs trophy and II. R. Everding putting up a set of silver spoons. Tho shooters having the greatest number of wins during the tourney will be offered these prizes. There will be a prize for high gun each Sunday. Tho added bird handicap gives tho poor shooter an equal chance with the experts. In the event staged on the club traps last Sunday there was only a difference of five birds between the high and low scores.

Kearns Jack Kearns, the boy promoter from the Pacific Coast, has been calling our attention from time to time to his youthful heavyweight title aspirant. Jack Dempsey. Dempsey has been pronounced by some of the best posted bolng critics on the Pacific I oast as the logical successor to Ketchell. Corbett and Fltzsimmons. He l said to. be an exceptionally clever boxer for a big fellow, and Kearns wants to tell the world fair that his protege possesses a punch that no opponent can stand up under for long Incidentally, Kearns rises to de nounce the claims or rred Fulton as the logical successor to Jess Wlllard. Dempsey has beaten Gunner Smith and Carl Morris.
