By Jaek Veioek NKW YORK, Jan. 7. (I. N. S.) Major Branch Rickey, the forceful president of the St. Louis Cardinals, who is in New York waiting to be mustered out of the army,, is optimistic concerning the future of baseball. 'If the executives, " the players and everyone directly interested in baseball will forget that the dollar sign is as sociated with it and boost It as the one big national game, there is no doubt in my mind regarding the success of its comeback," said Rickey today. Way Is Now Clear "The road is open for baseball's re turn. Fandom is ready for it as well fcs the players and the clubowners. But we must bring it back on the basis of a game, of the skilful exhibition, and one where intelligent competition is out standing. "Baseball . is one sport that has re mained clean, even though it has been commercialized. But though it is pro fessional, the connection of the dollar sign with baseball has been overplayed. "I do not believe there is any need for strides along the line of retrenchment. Unnecessary expenses should be cut, of course, but the game must be kept on the same high standard that it main tained before the war. "Baseball has done its bit, as well as any other business, in the great war. The fact that a few players out of the many, went into the shipyards or the steel leagues is really no black mark on the game, for there were the many who did their part in the service. Eighteen In Uniform "I have 18 players in uniform. They have all made good. Every major league club and dozens of minor league clubs are represented in both the army and navy. Men like Mathewson, Cobb, Sisler, Miller, Snyder, Lavan, Gabby Street and dozens of others, too numer ous to mention, went into the war in all seriousness. And you cannot name a single player who went into it who did not make good. I don't think there is a more patriotic, virile or enthusiastic body of men anywhere than the base ball players in the service. And their coming back will help the game, too." St. Louis Is Unsettled Speaking of prospects ahead of the Cardinals this year, Rickey stated that affairs were in an unsettled condition in St. Louis for the present. He pointed out that because of the uncertainty of whether or not he would return to this country in time for the coming season, the officials who were left at horawent ahead with plans as they should have done, and that some changes will prob ably be made. He refused to comment on the report that he would manage the club and that Jack Hendrix would be let out. "You can say one thing for the Cardinals." concluded the major, '"and that is we are going to have a much stronger team than we had last year and we are not goinc to be tail-enders. The only way to get ballplayers when they are needed is to go after them. The club is now in a position to do that." South $ end Club Nominates Officers South Bend, Wash.. Jan. 7. The fol lowing nominations for officers of the South Bend Commercial club, to be voted for January 10, have been made : Presi dent, S. W. Sturdevant, E. M. Connor ; vice president. Charles H.

Dave Fultz, Enemy Of Baseball Mag, Is League Prexy New York, Jan. 7. (I. X. 8.) The new International league is record today as opponent of the an eient right of the majors to draft players. The club owners passed a resolution at their annual meeting here which will be put before the Joint meeting of the majors In New York January 1. asking that the draft be lifted from their organisa tion. Bat Dave Fultz, now in the avia tion service, l the new president of the league, succeeding John H. Far rell. The league will probably adopt a HQ-game schedule. No changes will be made In the circuit," accord ing to present plans. $75,000 NOT ENOUGH FOR J. WILLARD Timid Heavyweight Champion Not Interested in Offer for Bat tle With Dempsey. CHICAGO, Jan. 7. (I. N. S.) Jess Willard has turned down the record breaking purse of $75,000 for his share for a 20 round fight with Jack Dempsey for the championship of the world, it became known today. Dominick Tortorlch, New Orleans pro moter, put this bid on the wire to Harry Tamraen pf Denver, who, he figured, could get a favorable reply from the champion. Here Is Wlllard's reply as wired to Tammen : "Received your -wire on my return to Lawrence today. Don't cares to consider proposition of boxing at this time. Might pass through Denver in near fu ture and will see you then." Tortorich's offer is a fjat guarantee for Wlllard's services alone. Demp se,y's end is to be taken care of inde pendently. "What's the use or excuse for a cham pon who wll not fight?" Tortorich com mented. "That's why I am going to bill the coming Miske-Dempsey fight as for the active heavyweight champion ship of the world." THE Portland Alley team, composed of Bob Franklin, Charlie Kruse, Carl DeHaven, Victor Estes and George Henry, will bowl the M. L. Kline team next Sunday afternoon on neutral alleys. The match will determine the city five-man championship. Carles Bell was high man in the singles tournament on the Portland al leys Sunday with a total of 1220 Bell's high individual game was 269.

Baltimore. Mb. ML SOUTH HAS "PLANS FOR BOXING LAW California Legislature Will Be Asked to Pass Six or -Ten Round Law. SACRAMENTO. Ca!.. Jan.. 7. (I. X. S.--Such proposed boxing legisla tion as may put that. sport upon a firm er footing in the state is now In the hands of Assemblymen Ed Lewis of Marysville and Fred Hawes of San Francisco. The fact that Lewis had counted upon introduction of a so-called "boxing bill'' in the house may mean that Hawes will either assist in the preparation of a joint measure, or will suffer the Marys ville man to go It alone. Boxing Is not in the same unfortunate predicament it was before the war. It has dem onstrated its usefulness in the com pulsory military training of the nation. Even its professional exponents have in a large measure, contributed through benefit shows thousands of dollars to the athletic funds of camp and station. Will "ot- Be Opposed A bill favoring new extensions in the California law will hardly meet with the same opposition that it did two or four years ago. .Assemblyman Lewis is on record against any movement that is to re establish prizefighting. He does ap prove of boxing and will work early and late if there is a chance of putting a new bill over. He has about made up his mind to ask "for slxround boxing. This is only two rounds additional to those now permitted under the Imw. It would be better if he asked for ten rounds, the fajf believe. r A card with a couple of four-round preliminaries and a ten-round main event would just about top off the eve ning. Besides It will be as easy to get ten as six rounds. Hawes is also a lit tle fed up on the six-round bill. He mentioned today, however, that the measure would be framed along the same lines as that fathered by Gene Melady before thef Nebraska legislature, calling for ten rounds. There is a be lief abroad that Melady 's bill will be passed. Would Help Service Men For purely popular purposes Hawes would deduct a share of the receipts tocare for soldiers and sailors, sick or returning from, the war.. This doesn't seem Impressive as that subject will be pretty well in hand two years hence, the boxing bugs say. Any boxing meas ure which went over at this session would have to be. referred to the peo ple for their vote at the polls. Were it adopted as an amendment it might pave the way for. the establishment of a state boxing commission or some other body of control. 1 " University Begins Second Term With Normal Attendance University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan. 7. With more than 1000 students in at tendance the University of Oregon opened its doors Monday, beginning the second term of the school year ami the first term of an "after war" year. As far as possible during the coming year, the university will be run on the same basis as before the war. With the exception of a reserve Officers' train ing corps, there will be no military work at the school. Fraternities have re opened their houses, which were closed by the S. A. T. C. of last term, and all conditions are being rapidly regulated to normal. Registrar Tiffany is very much pleased by the attendance this term. It was first thought that the disbanding of the S. A. T. C. would lower the attendance this term, but already the attendance is normal. One of the largest freshman classes In the history of the institution has been registered. Mexican Refugees Discourage Warfare 1-1 Paso, Texas, Jan. 7. (U. P.) No agreement to participate in an armed movement to overthrow the Carranza government in Mexico was reached at a meeting of 600 Mexican refugees in the courthouse here Sunday afternoon. Speakers advised against civil warfare and urged that delegates should4be sent to Carranza, Villa, Zapata and other fac tion leaders to plead with them for guar antees for the safe return of expatriated Mexicans arid for restoration of peace in Mexico.

" for. sports, it was not such a one that would warrant the placing of Ru dolph Wilhelm, holder of the . Oregon state golf championship, in the eleventh position of the Pacific coast rating an nounced by the Taciflc Golf and Motor. Local enthusiasts are of the opinion that the data of . the Pacific Golf and Motor in determining its, ratings are insufficient. In the first place, IL Chandler Egan, former national and western champion, is placed In third po sition. Rightfully Ggan should head the list, but during the 1918 season he did not play enough golf to be placed. Fleager Is Fifth H. A. Fleager of Seattye, who was beaten a couple of seasons ago by YVH-. helm, is placed in fifth position, six places ahead of Wilhelm. Heinle Schmidt, whose playing during 1918 was confined to practice matches, is placed second. The ranking of Norman MeBeth, R. J. Cash Jr.. Dr. D. P. Fredericks and Dr. C. H. Walters ahead-of Wilhelm Is not justified, say a number of local men. To an outsider it appears as though the ranking were based on past perform ances and if this is the case, Wilhelm should occupy one of the first five po sitions.
