H League Club Which Wanted Him Back. : . ' - 7 LTER HENRY McCREDIE has seen some good players fl VV drafted from'his Portland ball club in the past, and in the ' palmy days of baseball Walter Henry has been able ta if afford hand some silk shifts with initials on them and everything :from part of the proceeds' of the self same baeball players, but now ijfce has changed his tune. He isn't so keen about the draft price. il "Before the minors got hep to themselves," said Walter Henry, ijas he twiddled the curtain string on the Mount Hood sector of ,"8 the Gasco building yesterday, trying to spot the silent and majes vtt tic peak through the rain splatter, "they thought they were making ! a 4ot of coin on a $2500 draft. But they were not. They thought, fitoo, that the draft price-ought to be kicked up to $5000 or even t$500 for a ball player taken by the major leagues. Now that t sounds like big money to the public and to some of the minor m leagues, but what good is it when you have to pay it all back Thla Is particularly true of the Class AA league, fo the clubs of which a major league must first offer a drafted player being: sent back as unripe. Would Rather Have $1900 For my own part I'd" rather have a draft price of. say, $1000. so that If the player was not quite ripe for the majors but a winning: ball player In the minors, you could get him back at a reasonable price. A big: league club that drafts a player at $2500 will make you pay $2500 If you want to get him back. The same would be true of a ballplayer drafted for $5000. If he came back to his old club, the majors would want all that they paid for him, and get it, too. Therefore . you see how the draft makes little difference In that re spect. I know of cases In the Coast league where players have been drafted from smaller leagues for $1500 and the. Coast leagrue club made to pay $2500. In that case the major might be accused of profiteering at the expense of the minors, but it Is a result of the haphazard system. For my part I'd rather have a player drafted from me for $1000 so that I could get him back for the same amount if I needed him . and the major ' league club did not. Griffith's Idea Good "I think Clark Griffith had the right idea. on that would help both majors and minors. Clark would have placed the draft at $1000 and return the player for nothing If he failed to make the grade. In other words he would? have charged the majors $1000 Just to "see whether the ballplayer was of major league calibre. "In the long run you can see how -this would be better for the minors and the majors would not be out so much In the scramble for ballplayers. Players Wot Drug . "Baseball players are not going to be a drug on the market until the troops are demobilized so that ail of the leagues may have to start, out with talent that could ordinarily not make the clubs. The majors have plenty of ballplayers under their wings, but the majority of them are In olive drab and It is no cinch ' that they will be out of the army by the time training camp opens, However, we have this to look for ward to the active life they lead will make it possible for them to step right out on the field without much preliminary work. "Ballplayers under contract or on reserve, I understand, will be able to be discharged earlier than would be the case if they had no positions awaiting them. I understand that it is. the policy of the war depart ment not to hold soldiers who have Jobs ready and needing them as soon aa they are released." Captain IsT Reinstated jj Washington. Jan. ;21. fU.

His compilations show that in March ,450 players teed off on the two courses and in December 9800 sed the two links. Affording to the statement of Mr. Wetzel, a greater namher of players used the Chicago courses last year than during the 117 season. VEW YORK, Jan. 21. (U. P.) Dan Morgan today declared he had matched Jack Britton, former welter weight champion, with Benny Leonard, world's lightweight champion, for a' 20 round bout in Denver on Washington's birthday. The bout, Morgan said, will be held in the stockyards auditorium. Buffalo. N. Y.. Jan. 21. (I. N. S.) Clay Turner and Kid Norfolk boxed 10 rounds here last night, Turner winning the popular verdict. Norfolk recently knocked out Turner in Boston. Highwayman Makes Haul in Restaurant San Francisco, Jan. 21. (U. P.) A masked bandit walked-into Mead's res taurant at Sixth and Market streets ear ly today, ordered a meal, drew a re volver, directed several patrons to line up against the wall, rifled the cash reg ister of $70 and backing out of the restaurant, escaped up the. street. Orton Would Pension Multnomah Employes Salem, Jan. 21. Pensions for ..em ployes of Multnomah county who have served 25 years or more are provided for In a bill introduced in the senate by Sen ator Orton. The bill provides that pen sions shall be paid monthly and shall equal two-thirds of the monthly salary of the employe at the time of his re tirement and shall be paid from the gen eral fund of the county. The county commissioners are to administer the fund.. Senator Pierce Introduced a bill Increasing the allowance a sheriff hall receive for boarding prisoners in ex cess of four from' $3 a week to $4.50 a week. Fiend Starts Long ' Term Seattle, Jan. 21. (U. P.) For hash ing and mutilating a white woman and her baby with a razor, Colins Robin son, 20, a negro, today begins a sen tence of from 20 years to life in the Walla Walla state penitentiary. Tho sentence was Imposed by Superior Judge Boyd Tall man. T ' I 'HERB were two noteworthy perfonn- ances in the weight carrying line on New York tracks this year. In the Grab Bag handicap at Saratoga that remark able gelding, Billy Kelly, defeated a crack field with 135 pounds in the saddle, winning with plenty to spare. This per formance so impressed Handlcapper W. S. Vosburgh that in assigning the weights for the Adirondack handicap he asked Billy Kelly to take up 140 pounds, the greatest burden ever inflicted upon a 2-year-old" in the history of American racing. The other weight carrying feat was performed - by Poiymeiian, which equaled the Saratoga track record ofj 1 :10 2-5 for the six furlongs with 140 pounds on his back. The war did not have an adverse effect on racing In Australia. Although a large percentage of the young men of the coun try were overseas In uniform, thorough bred racing was more popular than ever. The largest crowd in the history of rac ing in Australia saw the recent running of the Melbourne cup, which is the big gest event of its kind in the island contl nent. It is estimated that over 90,000 persons were in the inclosure on the day of the race. Of these 82,000 paid admission and the others were admitted free of charge. Racing In Australia pays a big revenue to the government. Last year the tax on the betting machines reached a total of $1,000,000, and this year the amount will be much larger. Just before Frank D. Weir left for Cuba he promised that Old Rosebud, the veteran handicap campaigner, would make a second racing tfomeback next season. After a remarkable season in 1917 Old Rosebud broke down for the second time in his existence. Since then Weir has had Old Rosebud in seclusion and under preparation for another as sault on the big purses. Weir says that the famous runner Is rounding to good form and undoubtedly will be ready to campaign during 1919. Racing in England will be resumed next season on a. pre-war footing. The historic Derby once more will be run at Epson Downs during the meeting that is scheduled to begin on June 4. Betting in the future books on the Derby al ready is in progress with two colts high in favor. These are Sir A. Black's The Panther and Robinson and Clark's Stefan the Great. Both are at 5 to 1 in the betting. The racing season will be gin on March 24. and all the big stakes that were suspended during the war will be resumed. Vancouver Hockey Men Beat Victoria Vancouver, B. C, Jan. 21. (I. N. S.) Vancouver walked away with the hockey game here last night, defeating Victoria 4 to 1. The lone goal scored by Victoria was made by Dunderdale on a pass from Oatman. "Moose" Johnson, Portland's former star player, played rover for Victoria. Woman Is Caught In Elevator m Shaft Of Chicago Hotel Chicago. Jan. 21. (I. N. S.) Pinned between the car and elevator shaft in the Majestic hotel, Edna Taylor, 23, war worker of Elburn, 111., late last night lay for an hour watching firemen with axes and acetylene torches work fran tically to cut the walls so that her body might be released. She died a short time after being re leased. Miss Taylor, the daughter of Dr. R. C. Taylor of Elburn, Had been dining in the grillroom on the seventeenth floor of the hotel. According to witnesses, the elevator dropped as Miss Taylor stepped into the car. The top of the elevator car caught her feet and she was dragged half way to the next floor with the upper part of her body lying across the top of the car. While waiting for assistance a physi cian climbed down the elevator cable and administered an opiate. Miss Taylor had been employed In the quartermaster's department of the army at Chicago for the past three months. Victim of Chicago Motor Murderers Chicago. Jan. 21. (I. N. S.)

Lightweight Champion Beats Dundee, but Not by Knockout Route of Yesteryear. By H. C. Hamilton NEW YORK, Jan. 21. (U. .P.) Hav ing proved to Johnny Dundee that he is still there. Benny Leonard con tinued to do business as world's light weight champion today. He convinced several thousand New Yorkers and New Jersey residents last night that he no longer was the Leonard who wants to step into a ring and finish his opponent as quickly as possible. Benny - massaged every part of Dun dee's head with his fists in defeating the Scotch wop, but it was apparent to ringslders that he could have finished the brawl in its early minutes had he gone after Dundee in his old .time fashion. In the last round Leonard cut loose with full vigor for a short ending and he had Dundee winging it for hlp early. Then he slowed up and Dundee lasted easily. Time was when Benny used to step into his man, look him over for a few punches, whisper to Billy Gibson that the works was about to go and hand out the sleeping potion. Probably he has forgotten that this is what gave him his popularity for he doesn't do it any more, as his last three bouts will show. There are several battlers who refuse to stop their opponents unless they be come riled over something. Leonard has fallen Into their ways. Regret usually follows, for the public likes to see a scrapper who knocks 'em. Assurances Given Sumpter Railroad Will Secure Relief Washington, Jan. 21. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) Assurances that the railroad adminis tration will adopt measures for relief of the Sumpter Valley railroad wen given J! N. Teal and General Manager Early. Just, before they left for Oregon late Monday. The announcement did not take defi nite form but it is understood to amount to an agreement to grant the railroad sufficient aid to care in part for in creased wages and enable the manage, ment to immediately resume operations. This will not be done by federal con trol or joint through rates, but by preferential rates hereafter worke out. Albany Made Headquarters Albany, Jan. 21. The general offices of the Mountain States Power company, which have heretofore been maintained at Tacoma, have been move'd to Albany and the officials are now negotiating for office space in which to transact the local 'and general business. Several of the new officials and their families have arrived but owing to the scarcity of suitable houses have been obliged to take up a temporary residence at the local hotels. Two chains, one on each rear wheel, are absolutely necessary One .is rather a detriment and in most cases is even inclined to accentuate the skid and throw the car out of balance. I it any wonder the differential looks pained and worried when inexperienced motor ists insist upon working it overtime? Do you know the purpose of the differential and how it operates? Without it no motor car would be able to turn a corner evenly and smoothly. Power is supposed to be transmitted evenly to both driving wheels. When either of these wheels meets with resistance, the ever watchful differ entiaT transmits that power to the other where there is less resistance. Now, what is the result when a chain is used on only one wheel? j " , A certain amount of resistence or gripping. So the power naturally goes to the other wheel and as this has no gripping surface, it spins.

Chains for all Styles and Sizes of are Sold by Dealers Everywhere NO PAPERS SIGNED BY LARGE iMAG Big Bugs of Baseball Will Go to Sand Lots and College Campus. ' By Jack Teioek NEW YORK. Jan. 2,1. I. N. S.) Tho major leagues are willing to let the minora row their own canoe, but they re not going to sign any papers that might come In handy for the lljtle fel lows In case of some future change In the friendly, relations that now exist between them. This wan made apparent today In tho announcement that Ban Johnson and John Heydler had- refused to sign the agreement drawn up and presented to them by the National association. Is Tentative Affair It develops also that the treaty offered by the minor leagues Is a ort of tenta tive agreement and It ts suspected in baseball circles here that It probablv contained certain stipulations that tho majors could not see with a pair of field glasses. - So the big fellows have taken the aU titude of watchful waiting today. They are simply going to sit back and let tho minors go it alone, giving their word that they will, not interfere. They evi dently have a hunch that the minors will In due time come back to the old home fireside. Hving the minors their freedom from the draft and granting their request for the abrogation of the national agreement was easy enough for the majors to do. But the majors do not propose to make promises that will bind them regarding the manner In -which they mean to re cruit talent outside of players - they actually purchase outright from the minor leagues in tho future. They mean to pick them off the-sand lots and out" of college ranks Just as they did before.

The specific purpose of the chain is thwarted, worse still, it has a natural tendency to accen tuate the skid. Furthermore, can't you see this spinning will unnecessarily wear the tire and throw your whole car out of alignment? . Suppose one of your brake rods smashed and only one remained effective. What would happen when you applied the one brake? Your car would swerve, of course An added uneven strain would be thrown upon the whole mechanism, doing probably irreparable damage. The conditions are similar. The necessity for brakes for both wheels and chains for both wheels is obvious . and clearly defined. - ' If one chain would do the work, why use more? But motorists and mechanics who are well posted gaze with pity at the man who fool' ishly drives With only one chain when two are absolutely necessary on the rear wheels and two on the front wheels are an added precaution.
