CALIFORNIA CLUBS
QUARREL OVER CHASE

Though 1t has not been officially de-
cided that Hal Chase shall belong TO
Cy Moreing. of Stockton there is little
doubt that the former Highlander will
cast his lot with the Millers. Any
Mayer, former manager of the San Jose
club, who had q hold on Chase gave
lMoreing permission over the phone to
talk business with the New York first
baseman. hence practically relinquish-
ing all claims on Chase by SO doing.
Mayer appears, however, to have for
gotten TO mention this conversation
when he sold out his interests In the
San Jose club. hence the dispute.
The directors of the league would
much rather see Chase so to San Jose
than to Stockton, as it would make
the race closer in the end. Stockton,
with big lead already, is now In a
position to further strengthen this with
the assistance of Chase. AS for him
self, Chase says he will play with
Stockton. having promised Moreffls.
He was offered $3.50 more than he was
getting in New York by, the San Jose
people and an offer to set him UP in
a good business but he had to refuse.
He will likely be established in bust
ness by Moreing and take up his home
in Stockton as soon as arrangements
can be made.

ed between the university elavens OF
these two states during the season. The
time and place have been mentioned as

'resentatives of both states have been
corresponding all summer to get this
game arranged. the trouble being a.
meeting place satisfactory to both col.
leges. Washington refused to play at
MOSCOW and Idaho refused to play in
Seattle. Washington holds the Idaho
game as a big money maker and wants
it played on the home grounds where
good crowds are certain. Idaho does
not look at the money phase but re-
fuses to make the !, 000-rnile trip to
Washington. especially to a wet region
and a lower altitude. But now neu-

From being considered as dub once
upon time. Paige has developed into
a very fair fighter, and can box, duck,
swing. side-step and clinch with the
best of them. He is naturally In con-
dition all the time and yet never trains
for a regular fight. The question of
! being In condition got him the only
two knockouts he has had In his box
ing, for on about five minutes notice
he went on in prelilninaries with Van
Horn and the Turk and was knocked
out by both, about q year ago.
