Hie St. Helens company has been

to put out a team that would be able
to compete with the other clubs of
the circuit. The league officials

ducements are right.

Baseball Clubs
Spend Fortune
During Season
It Is estimated that the IS major
league clubs this year will spend
nearly 1600,000 In railroad fares, ex
clusive of Pullman charges; The Na
tional league clnbs will travel 85.11
miles, which means aboat:$l700 for
each player. If each club carries 21
'men on the road all season the total
expenditure for transportation will be
not mneh less than (900,000. The
American league's mileage Is about
the same, so that railroad rates will
consume a like amount.
couver, Wash., will be put In Bhape
as soon as possible.
The schedule as adopted for April
la as follows :
Should St. Helens and Peninsula
be admitted to the league, the sched
ule for April, with the exception of
the opening , week, will have to be
remade.
One Change Made in
Federal Game Laws
A single change In the Federal -shoot
ing regulations Is announced r for this
year. It , pertains to shooting before
sunrise.
Under the present regulations, shoot
ing before sunrise la forbidden; but
there has been a great demand, espe
cially from Western states, for a change
In this regulation.
The representation w made that In
many of these states ducks leave the
lakes early in the morning to feed In
the fields, and do not return until night
fall. This is particularly the case in
the mtermountain states, where there
is not a great deal of water, and the
opportunities to shoot waterfowl are few.
The secretary of agriculture therefore
announces a, change in this regulation
to permit shooting from one-half hour
before sunrise until sunset. This applies
to the entire country. It does not, how
ever, replace the state law where the
state law, as in the case of Missouri,
imposes a stricter prohibition.

CHICAGO,
March 16. (I. N. S.)
Umpire Tom Connolly, veteran
Amerlcrfn league arbiter, is to be given
signal honors In token of his long years
of service as a Judge of play on the dia
mond. President Ban Johnson recently an
nounced that the order of the -cross will
be conferred on Connolly, who will cele
brate his twenty-fifth season as a
handler of the indicator this year.
The cross to be given Connolly will
not be an Iron cross. It will not be a
token emblematic of militarism, nor
y.et the double cross. It will be a gold
Maltese cross, fittingly bejeweled, and
will be official recognition ,of long and
xauniui service.
This honor has been bestowed on but
one other umpire In the history of the
American league, the late Jack Sher
idan being the first to receive It
Connolly began his career as an um
pire in the New England league away
back in 1894. After serving in that cir
cuit for four seasons and establishing
a reputation for competence and fear
lessness in judging plays, he was en
gaged -by the National league.
His career as aNNational leaguer be
gan in 1898 and he remained a member
of the National's staff until 1900, when
Illness forced him to quit his post. In
the spring of the following year he went
over to the newly formed American
league and has been there ever since.

April for a flock of mills under
Evans' wing.
Dillon was one of the first boxers

Washington. Christian Brothers, Benson
and Columbia form one division and
Lincoln, Jefferson. Commerce, James
John and Hill form the other. Games
will be played at Multnomah field and

ROWLAND
WILL FACE
PROBLEM
Danger of Losing "Red" Faber,
Star of World Series, Blow
to White Sox.
NEW YORK. March 16. (I. N. &)
Cknuim Rnvlinit la llahl f flnl
a rather pesky pitching problem staring
him In the face before the White Sox
swing into the stretch in the cominar
American league race.
As the Sox finished the season of
1917 in a blaze of glory they did not look
line a club that would need to make
any additions In the way of playing
talent for 1918. But this has been a
tough winter and the 1918 season Is
something else again.
The news that Red Faber had been
placed in class 1 of the army draft was
blow to the supporters of the Sox.
Take Faber away from Rowland's pitch
ing Btaff and the Sox management im
mediately faces a problem, for filling
Faber's shoes is no easy Job. However,
Faber will not be drafted at once.
Should Faber be called, one of the
second string Sox pitchers will have to
come through or Rowland la going to
be short a first string pitcher.
And Just - as uncertain as Faber's
ability to play ball this summer Is the
chance that Eddie Clcotte will pitch
the same sensational brand of ball that
did so much toward clinching the old
rag for the Sox In 1917.
