Pug Ross is perhaps one of the
best players in the Northwest and
makes baskets from the most im
possible positions.
The United States Bank have
no special stars but, depend upon
speed and passing.
The Water brothers on Hauser
Bros, team are a tower of strength
and add much to the standing of
the team towards the end of the
season. The; Central Pharmacy
depends upon the coaching and
team work of Leslie Sparks. In
the last game they were complete
ly at sea in his absence. He has
a faculty of, getting team work
out of the men and not relying on
any special star.
Tonight Anderson & Brown will
play the Central Pharmacy in the
first game and Company F and
Hauser Bros, will clash iu the sec
ond game. Company F will meet
hard opposition and if they do win
It will be only through superior
playing.1 The games start prompt

Drivers Protest Action
Speedway Rules Declared
Not Complied With T
LOS ANGELES. Dec. 4. Pro
tests by drivers; in the so-called
250 mile Thanksgiving, day Ascot
road race today; brought an an
nouncement from George R. Ben
tet, president of the Ascot Speed
way association that the race
would be run again. 1 The drivers
who took first eight places for
purses say that the money has not
been paid to them and other char
ges have been made that the race
was 222 miles instead of 250
miles and that qualification rules
were not adhered to.
Action was taken first by . j G.
"Cannonball" Baker, who several
days ago filed suit against the As
cot Speedway association for $15,
000, which he says is due him as
first prize money in the race. Ba
ker was awarded second place.
His claim that Frank Lockhart.
youthful winner did not comply
with qualifying rules, were admit
ted by Benthel as being correct.;
Lockhart, Benthel said, was
permitted to start in the race by
an Ascot employe, who was not
authorized under the rules . to
waive necessary qualifications, f

ing- With Evidence ;
CHICAGO, Dec. 4. Ban 3.
Johnson, president of the Ameri
can league, refused to be disturb
ed tonight by the resolution drawn
by the Pacific coast league de
manding that he produce his evi
dence to substantiate his assertion
that gambling exists in the Pacific
coast league. "I have the evidence
to back up my assertions," Mr.
Johnson said, "but I do not feel
that I should make it public until
I have an opportunity to present
It fo my league directors at our
meeting next week."
Mr. Johnson said that bis first
knowledge of gambling- in the
coast league came to him in the
form of a clipping from a news
paper which stated that Eddie Ma
ier of the Vernon- club had refer
red to wagers amounting to $100,
000. . The article .which appeared
early in July, also alluded to the
employment of detectives for the
purpose of stamping out the evil.

Soviet Program Undergoes
Change; Now More Lenient
MOSCOW. Dec. 4. (By the A.
P.) The soviet economic policy
appears to be undergoing gradual
modification. The government of
late has adopted a much ' more
lenient attitude toward private
trading, private capital, foreign
imports and concessions. .
This change of tactics to bolster
up the soviet economic structure
received official emphasis : today
when Felix Djerkinsky, head of
tBe supreme council, declared that
soviet legislation and communist
party instructions had gone too
far in suppressing private capi
tal. The speaker urged the re-introducing
of private funds Into trade.'
and recommended a less drastic
policy, toward foreign Importa
tions. . He also stressed the de
sirability of granting concessions
to foreigners.

Arctic to be Auctioned
-
CHICAGO. Dec. 4. The ship
Maud, formerly , commanded (by
Capt. Roald Amundsen, who now
plans an airplane dash across the
Arctic region, is to be sold to the
highest bidder when it reaches San
Francisco. The Maud left Seattle
In June, 1922. and will start from
the Arctic when ice breaks next
summer for San Francisco, the
explorer announced today in a lec
ture here. The idea of drifting
across - the north pole, as was
originally hoped when' the Maud
se$ out. has been abandoned, Cap
tain Amundsen said. The Maud,
he explained, was not out of com
mission and was not out of fuel
oil, as some reports said, but is
operated by gasoline and is simply
out. of lubricating oil, which he
expects will be supplied from a
Russian provision ship which an
nually supplies the natives along
the Kolyuma river in Siberia.
