Barney Dreyfuss Is said to have turned
down $60,000 ror Max Carey. 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.

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.

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:

President A. B. 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.

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.

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

New York, Jan. 5. (U. P.) Eyes of
boxers which have turned with luscious
anticipations to the racetrack at Tta
Juana, Mexico, bellev'ng maybe James
W. 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.

Jack Dempsey Rated
Highly by J. 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. Morris, according to
Kearns, has admitted that the "sub
marine destroyer" Is the .most wonder
ful fighter he has ever met So Demp
sey must have something more than
the average run of would-be champions.
