100 DUCKS AT A SHOT

Clark Griffith, the Cincinnati
manager, claims to hold the great
est record in the world for quick
execution of ducks. 1t happened
several years ago. Clark was up
in the Dakotas on hunting trip,
He tells his experience thus:
after l had eaten cold lunch
at noon l came to strange looking
patch. 1t was down in little hol-
low, and all could see was a solid,
quivering, wiggling mass that
looked as If 1t was alive all over,
but something | couldn't make out.
II came up a little closer and
saw that it was ducks. 1t had been
very dry fall, and this little patch
was a pond. 1t was the only water
for miles around, and all the ducks
in the world were trying at least to
get their feet into 1t. They were
SO thick you couldn't see the water
II shot both barrels into them
They shook little bit and gave
them two more barrels. Then the
whole works flew up slowly, and as

PORTLAND FOR
NORTHWEST

AS predicted by the writer two
days ago (pardon the II told you
so" TALK, the Northwestern-Co Coast
er situation is rapidly heading to-
wards Northwestern club in Port
land this year, in exchange for a
promise to refrain from figurging
Portland in any scheme for Glass
A league in the northwest.
OF course, hitch may come In
the negotiations at any time, but
the trend of events seems to be
towards a frame-up for class B
club in Portland for what the
Coasters fondly hope will either
mean perpetual Glass B ball for
the Northwestern league, coupled
with Coaster supremacy, or an
eisht-club greater Coast league.
From appearances Dugdale is
pledged to the eight-club league
proposition, and with McCreedie,
the father of the scheme, backing
the movement with all his
strength, 1911 is likely to witness
the organization of a big Glass A
league on the coast, with a Glass
b or G league in the Northwest,
minus Seattle, Portland. probably
Spokane and possibly Tacoma.

Indian Manager Says Spikes Are Necessary But That the
Rules Committee Would Do Well to Regulate
the Length Of the Steel.

Give us spikes, but make them
shorter" is the way Manager Bob
Brown Of the Indians sums up the
spike situation.
THE time is not ripe for the
abolition Of the spike" said Brown
last night to the writer, but If the
rules committee adopts a uniform
length of the steel cleats, much will
have been done toward eliminating
the great number of serious injur-
les that mar each seasons record.
There are many players-and
the speedy boys are fanatics on the
subject-who go into sporting
goods house for pair Of shoes, and
have eyes for the spikes and moth
ing else. The longer the spikes the
better they like them; they believe,
and it's true, that they can get a
better grip on the paths. They for

pieces of steel are capable of maim-

When it comes to soft pedal chat

those blasted hopes, the Browns, is
there with Ginning bells; but the

fed $4,000 of Bob Hedges money to
Boston in exchange for Lou Criger

and creepy stuff that goes with

Spence that he was for him as long
as there was oats In the feed box,

that careening around ON the
fourth speed would end his career.

Il was only spiked once last year

cities where games may be played
without danger of financial loss.
If expenses are made for the Sat

that the management will have a
balance in their exchequer when all
expenses are paid, Spokane will be
the scene of more games next sea-

been advertised before. Posters,
pictures of the players at the prom

public to the game, while the
nearby towns are receiving induce
ments in the way of reduced rail-
