pH ETHER the Pacific Coast Inter
national league will play an 13
weeks season, starting; .May 17 and
finishing September 2. or a 20 weeks
season, opening May 1 and closing Sep
tember t. will be settled at the March
meeting of the league, said Judge Mc
Credie upon his return from Seattle.
About the most important thing that
happened at the Seattle meeting, and
one which got under the skin of Al
- Baum, Cal Ewlng, Hen Berry et al,
was the naming of the Northwestern
league the Pacific Coast International.
Now Baum is getting ready to pro-
. test to the National association on the
allowance of the name, an it Bounds so
much like the Pacific Coast league,
which la camouflage for the Utah-Cali-
: fornla circuit
' .. Tbst 5am'i Good Enough
: It U. expected that the Pacific Coast
International will put up a battle to re
tain the long handle, which was caret ul
,' ly thought out and may be patented at
Washington, D. C, by heck.
' ' The league, as has been mentioned, Is
after Class A rating, and it won't con
alder a population based on the returns
of 1910, eight long years ago. If the
' Coast league. In Its efforts to prevent
Class A rating for its neighbor to the
; north, makes any particular yelp on
this score, as anticipated, there may be
some fur flying.
The Pacific Coast International Is
young and cocky, and ready for a frolic
or "a fight. It lacks a few thousand of
' having the million population specified
in the obsolete rule of the baseball as
sociation, but It is hardly believed that
' any sane man will say there are only
772,000 people In the big cities of the
great Northwest now, eight years since
the poll,
- Player limit Fourteen Men
' Judsre McCredie figures that the play
W limit will be 14 men, and the monthly
payroll $2600, which is the Class A limit.
Of course. If the league remains at Class
, B rating, the salary will have to be
dropped considerably.
; If the league Is given only the Class
' R ratln. It Is the -Intention or tne cir
cult to go somewhat above the salary
limit for Class B leagues, as the old
' Northwestern crowd had special permis
t mnn to nT 11000 a month more than any
thr class leaaue several years ago, and
.It la presumed there would be no objec
tion now.

-' Word has been received here of the
, death Tuesday of E. L. Stalker, step
father of Jess Wlllard. aged 86, at

. Game Protectors Will Meet
Yakima, Jan. 21. Sportsmen of the
county, members of the Yakima County
Game Protective association, will meet
' early this week to consider a number
ot matters of particular interest. The
tact that the sportsmen of the state are
to be called together a.' Seattle In Feb
ruary to consider proposed game legis
lation Is one reason for the call for
. local action. Yakima sportsmen have
some very decided views on game con
trol and desire to be represented at the
Seattle conference with a strong delega
tion. 'There are also a number of loca:
' regulations to be considered at the
coming meeting.

TRAP SHOTS
Three Pacific Coast Amateurs
and Three Professionals on the
Ail-American Bluerock Teams.
THERE was a time when the profes
sional was siinrORvl tn Va vn uttlv su
perior to the amateur in every branch of
sport, but nowadays In many lines the
amateurs are the equal of the profes
sionals and In many branches they have
the professionals outdistanced.
As far as ability goes there is but
slight difference between the best of
the professional and amateur trap
shooters. The 1917 averages compiled by the In

that the highest 10 professionals aver
aged .9694. while the 10 highest ama
teurs averaged .9685.
While the edge is with the nrnfM-
slonals, the fraction of a target differ
ence really proves the class of the am
ateurs. The professional trapshooter is a field
representative of a gun or ammunition
company and the compilation of a high
average is the thing that Interests him
In the main.
Shoots for Recreation
Not so with the amateur. He Is a
business man first, a trapshooter second.
He goes Into trapshooting as a sport
for recreation on his spare time, and
the fact that he can do this and shoot
as well as the fellow who is paid to
shoot proves his ability.
This Is the third time that the writer
has selected all-Amerlcan trapshooting
teams irom tne 10 nignest amateurs and
professionals, and the 20 this time com
piled a higher average than the teams of
1916 and 1916. The combined average
of the two teams Is .9690 on 66,040 tar
gets, which is unquestionably a classic
mark.
If a team race could be staged be
tween the 10 highest amateurs and 10
highest professionals each year It would
be a wonderful exhibition of tarret
DreaKing.
Henderson on Three Teams
In T915 the 10 highest amateurs av-

mounted to .9656. In the same two years
the 10 leading professionals averae-ed
9617 and .9676. The amateurs improved
eacn year in their work so did the pro
lesslonals, maintaining each year the
rraction of a target advantage.

Fans Dubious About Fred

New York, Jan. 21. (I. N. S.)
Fandom Is losing confidence In Fred
Fulton as a possible world cham
pion. From all reports of the bout
Friday night at St. Paul the mighty
left that has received so much
praise will never be able to admin
ister a knockout blow to Jess Wll
lard. Snorting writers are'now ques
tioning Fulton's ability to stop
Frank Moran when they meet in
New Orleans February 22. When
this bout was first announced It
was generally predicted that 'the
Rochester plasterer would register
another victory. But when Billy
Miske. working under the handicap
of weight and reach, kept Fulton at
bay the spotlight Is being rapidly
shifted to the Pittsburg contender.
He Lores to Swing
Moran fights for the love of fight
ing. Whether he Is putting on an
exhibition bout or exerting every
ounce of his strength in the ring
with a title at stake, he is enjoying
the show as much as the fans at
the ringside. He goes into each
BASEBALL MAGS
IN WASHINGTON
TO DISCUSS TAX
Will
Be Added to Admission
Deadheads Will Also
Be Swatted.
Washington, Jan. 21. (I. N. S.) Base
ball magnates reached here today for a
conference with Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue Roper over the baseball tax
for the coming season.
Garry Herrmann, chairman of the Na
tional commission, waa the first on the
scene.
He said that the commission planned
today to reach a complete agreement
with Commissioner Roper Just how the
baseball tax under the war revenue law
is to be collected. The plan of collecting
the tax, it is admitted, will be to have
the public pay It instead of the clubs.
The amount called for under the law
will be added to the admission charge
so that It can be collected In advance.
The "dead heads" also will have to pay
the amount fixed by. Mr. Roper.
Joe Stutt Returns .
From Southern Trip
Joe Stutt, well known Portland
sportsman, has returned from Cali
fornia with some interesting bits of
information for the Portland fans, not
the least of which Is the fact that
President Baum of the Coast league Is
figuring on using Umpire Pearl Casey
again this season.
Stutt also saw Walter Honeyman in
San Francisco and the latter has been
called in audience by, Mayor Rolph to
discuss the Portland boxing commission
system, which San Francisco may adopt.
While the San Francisco state law
limits boxing to four rounds. It is be
lieved that with a commission to gov
ern It, there would be less confusion
than at present.
Stutt has high praise for Battling
Ortega, and saw him polish off Al Mc
Coy, -ex-mlddleweight champion. He
said that Ortega had McCoy's head
bobbing 80 times in the last round and
had the bout gone two more rounds
McCoy would have been stowed away.
He thinks Ortega will please the
Portland fans, as he Is of the boring
in type of boxer and fairly clever. He
never backs up and is one of those fel
lows who canr-hlt from, any angle1.

When John "Stuffy" Mclnnes, now of

successive battle with a determi
nation and does his best for the
sake of fighting.
Fulton on the ther hand has
openly admitted that he does not
love the ring sport. He fights be
cause, well, because he got started
at It somehow. He has never told
the public that It was the lure of
gold and the clinking of "easy coin"
that started him first on his pugi
listic career. That probably is the
real reason.
He Doesn't Love to Swing
Fulton hates fighting although
even his rivals must admit that he
fights well. For a while he had
hard work to overcome the fouling
habit, his recent battles show that
he Is now able to play the game ac
cording to Hoyle.
The psychology of the situation
will be a decided advantage to
Moran when they enter the ring at
New Orleans. The Pittsburger Is
now at Camp Wadsworth training
" o get himself In the best shape for
his battle. Meanwhile Fulton is
not going to let his fighting trim
decrease.
SIMPSON'S IDEA
IS BOXING WILL
BE GIVEN BOOST
Government's Recognition Means
Much for Art After War
Is Over.
Tommy Simpson, the Oakland pro
moter, who is here to second Battling
Ortega In his battle with Al Sommers is
of the belief that the boxing game will
reach the highest stage of its existence
in the period immediately after the war
and that if promoters keep It clean it
should not only prosper but became In
time as popular as baseball.
Simpson says that none of the pro
moters is making any big money in
California, but they are plugging along
trying to entertain the fans and take
their minds off the war. They look for
an influx of the kale when the soldiers
come marching home.
Game Gets Established
"Boxing- is getting a big boost from
the government," said Simpson. "The
mere fact of the government Installing
boxing instructors at all of the army
cantonments, Is establishing boxing as
It was never thought possible. It Is
,the greatest exercise of all to fit the
bayonet fighter for the short work in
the trenches.
"The more boxers we have the better.
not only for the race Itself but for 'the
sport. There will be a lot of young fel
lows coming home from the war, who
will want to take up the boxing game
a profession, and in mere matter of
numbers they will elevate the sport.
Women Are Attending
'Tn our Oakland arena we provide
clean shows and attendance of women
is on quite a large scale. The presence
of the fair sex has served to tone down
the more exuberant of the male spec
tators and, I may say, our boxing
smoker is more like a theatre than any
thing else. Women have been attend
ing the shows in increasing numbers
and appear to like the display of manly
art."

CARD BOSS
"EXPLODED"
OVER DEAL
Branch Rickey Not Blamed for
Asking Big Price for His
Star Shortstop.
NEW YORK. Jan. 21. (I. N. S.) No
one blamed Branch Rlckev for un
heard of demands he made on the Giants
and Cubs some time ago in discussing the
possibilities of a deal which would take
Roger Hornsby away from the Cardinals.
When Rickey demanded Fletcher.
Kauff. Schrupp and cash from the
Giants, or Alexander, Vaughan and
J100.000 from the Cubs for the- services
of Hornsby, he was simply kidding the
(jiants and Cubs. He never permitted
himself to dream of such one-sided
trades, but he was tired of seeing printed
reports of monstrous offers for his star
short-stopper, and he simply exploded.
You can't blame him for that
Life yt Easy
The life of the club owner Is not so
easy as some folks believe, and when
a club has a player of Hornsby'a ability
who is making unfair demands In the
way of salary It is pretty tough to have
some rival club owner come along with
bids, or reported bids, that are calcu
lated to make the player swell up like
a war balloon with Importance. Such
tactics simply make trouble for the
club owner who happens to be the goat,
and In the long run they do the player
more harm than good.
Take Hornsby's case. Young Roger
won deserved praise throughout the
country for his great work as a short
stop and he naturally felt pretty good
about it. He was entitled to more money
as a member of the Cards, and there
is no doubt that the St. Louis club In
tended and expected to rive him a hand
some increase In salary this year. But
what does Roger do but come out with
a flat demand for a $10,000 salary.
Want Big Boost
Natnrally enough, the St Louis club
balked. It did not want to be put In
the light of being dictated to bv an
employe, and Hornsby was notified that
his demands were out of reason. Then
Hornsby stated to the world at large
that if he didn't get 110,000 for wear
ing a St Louis uniform he would not
play ball. As soon as some of the other
National league club owners got wind
of the trouble they commenced making
bids for Hornsby, and they could not
bo blamed for wanting; him. But if mag
nates would make their bids on the Q.
T. they'd save world of trouble and
would get better results. When a club
owner advertises his bids for players
and then fails to land them he stirs up
unfavorable impressions among the fans
In his own town and helps make trouble
all around.
The average ball player Is entitled to
all that he can get, and the average
player generally gets all that he is worth
to a ball club, but when a player gets
swelled up on himself and develops an
exaggerated opinion of his own import
ance he isn't entitled to so much con
sideration. Great English Athlete Killed
Captain W. F. C. Holland, one of the
best known track athletes In England,
has been killed on the western front
At one time he held the English cham
pionship"' In the 100-metre, half mile,
mile and broad Jump. He was also an
expert oarsman.
