KIDDING" "1 grO an - - - - m PAYS AMENDMENTS TO BASEBALL PACT IN HIGH REGARD HERE Hickey and Tearney Present Draft to Ban Johnson Which .Would Give Minor Leagues Chinee to Live and Not Hurt Major Or- , ' ganizationsj McCredie Discusses Phases of Proposals. 'CHICAGO, Dec. 28. (I. N. t iVf the American association, ' the committee representing the National association, the gov erning board of the minor leagues, today presented to Ban John son, president of the American league, the draft of the proposed ' amendment to the national aerreement under which major and minor league clubs operate. The orooosed amendments Eliminate the draft of players majors. Allow the draft of two players from each class AA club by rthe majors. Permit the majors to purchase Give the minor league representation on the national com mission. Permit players returning to tight of optional recall. Johnson, while declining to com ! men t, on the proposals, said he felt there should b closer and better relations between the major and minor leagues but was not prepared : now to say what action he would recommend In the matter. ; : Judge W. W. McCredie. owner " of the Portland baseball club and one of the astute minds of base ball, , was well pleased with the , portent of the amendments submit ted to the president of the Ameri can league. That they will be a . great help to. the minors, Is the be- lief of the judge, but he asserts some provision should be made for the protection of the big minors In purchasing or drafting players tn leagues of lower classification. Taking up the amendments In . order. Judge McCredie said: "The first amendment has been agitated before and tt Is a good one: At present the majors, after they get . through with the class AA. and A leagues, go Into the other minor leagues and draft as many players .' as they wish. 1 JTesd More Experience "Players i drafted from the class w B leagues down lack the experl- nce necessary to stick In the ma jors. It has been my observation that starters in the class A A r' leagues who go to the majors stay 1 ' there for a number of years, be : cause It is & well known fact that the majors are not faster than the class AA league. The players ''.' under class AA are usually young "4 i sters and lack the confidence of i the boys In the big majors. There 3 fore It will be seen that from two , to three years tn the minors ought to be 'taken by every player. We have Always adopted the policy at 'Portland never to stand in the way of the-boys who were ready to go . to' the major leagues. . . !'The third amendment would be a splendid thing for the minors. By eliminating the draft of players below class AA and permitting the -f . majors ' to purchase, the minor ' leaguer would have a chance to T ' make somemoney. However, I would go further and 'limit their f purchasing to leagues higher than class B. At present the majors go Into class C and class D and draft v players for a nomM sum and as many as they want. "They also make purchases to the detriment of the upbuilding of the minors. Purchases made from class D or C clubs by majors, who Copyright 1918 Sairil The Men' St or 6 for Quality and Service I If 4w. 1 lA, i-1r r !-4 ( - S.) Thomas J.

Jack Johnson has a one year's sen tence hanging over his head on a white slavery charge and Is a fugi tive from Justice now, residing la Spain. conclude to sell to class A clubs, for Instance, always results to the financial benefit of the .majors. In -other words, a class AA club can't buy a player drafted orapur-. chased from a class D club at the price paid In the draft or pur chase by the majors. The ma jor invariably tacks on a few more'' dollars for his personal profit. Oftentimes the majors will go into class C and get a Ty Cobb, where as I believe that the upper class minors should be allowed .to de velop the boys who break Into the little leagues. "By all means, give the minors a voice in the national commission but the minors have little chance unless they have at least three) men on that body, for the vetlng ..majority will always be with the majors. "The amendment permitting an optional agreement on a player going back from the majors. Is nothing more than the so-called farming,' which was legislated out. some years ago. They will farm clandestinely, bo they might Just as well do it openly. "However, I think the plan I suggested last week of making the national commission up of two lawyers representing the major and the minor leagues, with a neutral lawyer as the voice of last resort, a better plan than the national com mission as constituted at present or with a minor league representa-' tion on the present commission," Her' Hart Schaffnex Mara t Rosenblatt Alexander Will Have Friends on Crossing Rhine Jfew Terk, Dee. 18 If, as It has been reported.

COLUMBIA LIKELY TO HOLD MEET Annual Event Which Ushered in Track Season Postponed in 1918 Because of War. A LTHOUGH no official announcement has been made by the athletic conn' cil of Columbia university preparatory school. It Is likely that the annual in door track and field- championship. which has been an annual event up to the time war was declared, will be re sumed next spring. The athletic directors of the Univer sity of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural college are looking forward to this event, both institutions promising to send full teams to the meet. Just what the track prospects at the two colleges will be cannot be determined until the men have been called out for practice. Clab Will Participate The meet would, no doubt, be welcome on the part of George Philbrook. "chair man of the outdoor athletic committee of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club. Philbrook hopes to turn out one of the strongest track teams, Multnomah, has had in many seasons. Sam Bellah. former cantain of the Multnomah team, who has been sta tioned at Camp Lewis for the past sev eral months, will undoubtedly don a track suit again next spring. Millard Webster, the crack eprlnter and jumper of the Oregon Aggies' team of two sea sons ago, win also be a member of the club team next falL Start Work fa February Philbrook has started to lay his plans for the team already and will start his athletes working about the middle of February. Lieutenant Peterson, who was a member of the club bootball team. may also turn out with the club -track team, provided he is still in Portland when the season opens. Wrestling Is Bound To Boom Next Year New York, Dec; 28. The release of troops now in cantonments in this coun try and the speedy return of thousands of others from the western front in France will result in a great boom for sports of all kinds, and wrestling will be one of those- most benefited. A large number of grapplers, including Strangler Kd Lewis. Earl Cad dock and Joe Stecher, are now In the service of the country, and manyothers have been engaged in "essenOal" occupations, which have precluded frequent partici pation in matches. Many of these will soon be at liberty to resume their ac tivities on the mat. and the winter and early spring may .sea the staging of soma Important contests In this city.

Ohio, on December . when six birds were released from an alti tude of 15.300 feet. In its Novem ber issue the Racing Pigeon of Bos ton states that the release record of 10,000 feet, made by Lieutenant Carl It. Bradley of this field on October 19, 19 IS, was the highest ' record which had come to Its attention. . According to this, last week's test breaks all previous records. The trip was made in a La Per plane with a '400 horsepower Liberty "four" motor, piloted by Lieutenant L. C. Thynnes of San Francisco and carrying Lieutenant Joseph M . Semmes Jr. of Chicago. - Climbs la Miaates The "take off was at 1:40 p. m. Lieutenant Thynnes "gave her the gun" and' made tne cumt to lo.zuo feet in exactly 20 minutes. At 4 O'clock Lieutenant Semmes began lo release the "homers," the ther mometer then registering 10 degrees below zero. Centigrade. The last bird was on its way home while the needles of the altimeter pointed about 15,000 feet. Five of the birds OBEGON PLANS TO RESUME SCHOOL MEETS FOE STATE I , , r ,i r Mill!

Ara Birds af Feather This test is of greatest importance in connection with aerial pigeon liaison, inasmuch as it shows that aviators can fly at high altitudes in comparaUva safety from an enemy's anti-aircraft guns and their faith ful message carriers will still be very much alive to "go hornet with the information." Pigeons and air planes are. indeed, "birds of a feather." In the late war many times the feathered heroes have proven themselves to be the very pupils of the eyes of the allies. yHE government of New South Wales is going to get a big revenue from betting during the current financial ear. Aa compared with the first four months f-last year, there is a marked Increase, the total being $384,845, against $167,680, says tha Sydney Referee. Last year tha government's return from race course speculation of all kinds was $997. 78, but this year that sum will be greatly exceeded. From the beginning ef July to the end of October of this year the totalizator return was $253,165, against $91,450 tn 1917, and betting taxes Viz 1,0 so, against $77,320. Recently attention was drawn to the success of the sale ef the Kapajedl year lings In Austria-Hungary, but It has been reserved for the Hungarian gov eminent stud to cap all those figures by the sale of a yearling colt by Adam- Prignits to Count Bela Trichy for $36.- 00O, which is a record for the stud, and. think, has only twice been beaten by Scepter and Cupbearer says the race critic ef the London Sportsman. Prig- nits was foaled In Germany, but Is of pure English blood, by Galtee More Princess Pattl, by Royal Hampton. Aftef racing in that country she came to Eng land and became the property of H De la Rue, who passed her on to Count Ssapary. and. with a filly foal by Cicero and bred to Mlntagon. she went to Hungary In 1111.

United States. ATHLETICS professional and amateur will be resumed on a pre-war basis in the Northwest next year . The 'guiding hands in the different branches of sports are working on re-. construction plans, and indications are that athletics will be con- ' ducted along higher ideals than in the past. Old Man Mars, although he put a big crimp in professional, intercollegiate and amateur sports for the period of the war, ac complished wonders by interesting great masses of men in the various games, boxing, football and baseball being attractive to those who never saw a ring, a diamond or a gridiron. Athletics" formed one of the main parts of the training of the soldiers of the United States, and thousands of these are expected to continue in some branch or another. Boxing was given a wonderful boost by the appointment of professional instructors to the various camps and cantonments,-bayonet fighting being based on ; the blows ot the manly art- It would not be surprising if. boxing among the professionals would come back to its own in the United States. Numerous bills will be presented to the various legislatures next sprinjr and the Oregon lawmakers, it is said, will tizing 10 round bouts. Washington legislators, too, it is under stood, will vote on a bill allowing 10 round contests. California boxing fans are hopeful of seeing the game revived. " Just what will be done in the pro fessional baseball leagues of the Northwest and Pacific Coast can not be foretold at this writing, but it would not be surprising If the -Pacific Coast league would make a bid for the Portland and the Seat tle territory. If the Coast league enlarges Its circuit, the Northwest league will probably be composed of Vancouver. Tacoma. Spokane and Butte, or It may be possible that the clrculr will be composed of eight teams. Colleges Betnme Jaatfsry I College sports will be resumed January 2. Basketball will be played extensively in' the Northwest and the Pacific Coast conferences and Indications are that baseball will be revived. Track athletics will be staged aa usual. Trapshootlng in the Northwest should enjoy Its greatest year since the Introduction of the game. The annual tourney of the Sportsmen's Association of the Northwest will be held on the traps of the Portland Gun club In June and plans are afoot to make this the biggest blue rock tournament ever held "west of Chicago. Between $1200 and $1500 will be added to the purse. The Oregon state championship will be held at Pendleton, a total ef $1200 added money being promised by the backers of the Pendleton Gun club. The Washington state shoot will be held at North Taklma. Golf Flayed Exteailvfly Golf is to be played extensively throughout the Northwest. The Northwest championship tourney will be played at Vancouver. B. C. The state tourneys will be resumed In Oregon and Washington and It Is likely that Inter-club matches, which were so interesting In 1916. will be staged again. j Tennis will be more attractive than ever. The increasing number of younger players will add Interest to the varloua championships which will be resumed In full force. "The Northwest International champion ships, which were suspended for tha period of the war. will be held in connection with one ot tha sectional title tourneys. .- Junior tannla tourneys wi also be held next year. Great progress has been made by the younger players during the last couple of seasons. 1 Grldlroaers Are Coming ' Football will come back stronger than ever. Schedules arranged tor next fall will give the followers of the game in all sections ot the country a chance to see some great gridiron games. A large number of students who enlisted In the serv ice will resume their studies and Indications are that the teams will be much stronger than In 191$. Oregon and O. A. C. will have strong teams. The squads of 1911 were composed of ytfung players, who performed creditably x a n d, strengthened by older players, should become stars In a year or so.
