THE DIAMOND
PULLIAM
MAKES A THREAT
Will Walk Out if He Cannot Have
His Own Way-Other Ball
News Of Interest.

President Pulliam of the National
league, who is in Philadelphia, says
that when his organization meets
in February he will resign and walk
out of the star chamber ten minutes
after the delegates have been called
to order unless the National Assecia-
tion Of Minor leagues rescinds the
much talked of blacklist resolution"
which has caused peck of trouble
recently. Puliam declares that Garry
Hermann, as chairman of the ma
tional commission, should protect the
interests Of ball players and should
not permit sharp practice by the
minor league people. Pulliams atti-
tude, according to the minor league
men, means that the National league
will have to seek a new president, for
the blacklist resolution" will re-
main as it is. "The mere backing of
the National league" says Pulliam,
lis not enough. The national COM
missionand the minor leagues must
do my bidding or I'll quit"

Manager Mcclure Of the Boston
Americans has problem to solve in
selecting his regular outfield from six
ndidates-Barrett, Cravath, Sulli-
van, Thoney, McHale and Gessler.
Thoney and Gessler were the batting
sensation of the Eastern league and
the American association respective
ly last season, with averages of 1929
and 1926. Cravath, who comes from
Los Angeles, hit 1906 on the coast,
while Barrett and Sullivan played
regularly on the team last season.
McHale is not much of a sticker, but
is a brilliant fielder. Mcclure will
take nearly forty men south with
him.

The Detroit club is having con-
siderable trouble in signing it's play
ers for the year. Ty Cobb notified
President Navin the other day that
he wanted a three year contract at
$4,000 year, and now Claude Ross
man, the big first baseman, who re-
ceived a contract recently calling for
an increase in pay, says he will not
sign unless he gets his terms. Ball
players who kick over salaries forget
that baseball nowadays is practically
a trust and that II they refuse to sign
contracts they must practically retire
from the game unless they are willing
to play in outlaw circuits or with in
dependent clubs, which, as a rule,
cannot afford to pay them salaries
that can be secured in the big
leagues. Unless player lacks sound
business sense he will not remain out
of the game when he can receive a
salary of $4,000 for six months work.
As a matter of fact, baseball salaries
are greater now, as a rule, than for
many years. The big clubs are all
making money and can afford to pay
literally for the players services
Consequently players who kick over
the contracts can be regarded gen.
orally as unreasonable.

TWO WRESTLING MATCHES
frank Coleman Throws Billy Watson in
Both Events

Considerable interest was taken in
a wrestling match arranged some time
ago between Frank Coleman and Billy
Watson to come off May 7.
Both men appeared to be in good
trim when they stepped upon the
mat and pretty evenly matched, too.
After the men had done some very
clever work and been on the mat
nearly Is minutes when they broke
holds, both men being on their feet,
Coleman caught Watson off his guard
for an instant and as quick as a flash
with some kind OF a leg hold turned
him over so that he fell square on his
head. The fall put Watson out Of
action, and for a while it was feared
serious injury had been sustained. He
came around all right in ten or fifteen
minutes and time for the second round
was called. He came to the center
but was in no condition to do first class
work. The second round did not last
two minutes.
Watson was not satisfied with the
result and offered to wrestle Coleman
on Saturday night, the 9th, for $50
and the receipts.
This contest was more satisfactory to
the spectators in as much as it took
longer to decide who was the best man.
This match, like the former one,
was the best two in three. The first
fall was given to Watson in Is minutes
and the second and third to Coleman
in 9 and 7 minutes.
Mr.. Coleman is quite we'll known
here and has a large number of ad-
mirers. He has undertaken to throw
DR.. Langdon twice inside of an hour,
the match to come off in the opera
house tonight.

Two weeks ago The Echo printed a
story about the big saw mill OF the
Lamb-Davis Lumber Co., opening for
the season and cutting 100000 feet Of
lumber every day. The Wenatche
World copied the story and forgot to
give credit, the following week the
Seattle P-I copied this story and
credited it to the World. Now the
Echo happens to have fifty subscribers
in the Sound metropolis, one of whom,
having read the story as it appeared in
this paper, writes to say that he learned
from reading his P-I that the Lamb
Davis Lumber Mill is located in We
natchee, and that he had always sup
posed from what the Echo said that it
was located somewhere near Leaven-
worth.

an advantage in that there is still sufi-

Some idea Of the present importance
and value Of great tracts of timber land
may be gathered from the fact that an
Australian company has secured aeon
cession from the Russian government
to take out 3O,OOO,OOO feet Of lumber
a year from Siberian forests. Prices
are so high in Australia that the ST.
berian lumber can be transported 5000
miles to Melbourne at a handsome
profit.
