M CREDIE SAYS DRAFT
MONEY "MEANS NOTHING
WHEN PLAYERS RETURN
' :
If Class AA Club'Got $5000 for Player Taken by Selection, Major
, jfrV League Club Would Demand a n Equal Amount From Minor !
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."

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.

AFTER having been piped on deck a
thousand times in the last year to ;

expected that Bos'un Walter McDevitt, j

the semi-wind up at the Heilig theatre
Wednesday night. ;
Bos'un McDevitt has been following j
whales and barrels and bottles, bobbing j
hither and thither in the sea lanes off
Ireland and England and Ifcance and it ,
is not to be expected that the slightest i
suspicious movement on the part of ,
Trambitas will escape the watchful gob,
not that young Mister Trambitas has 1
anything to do with barrels or bottles
or the like, the which he doesn't. j

"It's a great life out there on the j
ocean wave," said Bos'un McDevitt, as j
he did a few steps of the Sailor's Horn- j
pipe, with variations taken from the"1
bobbing deck of the U. S. S. destroyer j
Tucker off the coast of Erin that day j
they did for the imperial German gov-
ernment's submarine U-3. '

CAN BENNY
LEONARD BE
SAVING UP?
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.

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.
