BILLY SMITH is
BADLY SHOT UP
Husband of His Former Wife
Claims He Fired in
Self-defense.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 1S,-"Mys-
terious Billy" Smith, formerly a we'll
known pugilist, who was shot last
night by Captain A. b. Loomis, hus-
band of Smiths divorced wife, was
thought to have a fair chance of re-
covery. LOOMS surrendered himself
to the police several hours after the
shooting and claimed that he had fired
in self-defens5. Smith and Mrs. Loomis
were talking on a street when LOOMS
appeared and shots were exchanged by
the men. -Four bullets lodged in
Smiths body. but LOOMS was not shot.
Hospital attendants expressed the
opinion early today that Smiths ex-
constitution would enable him
to Recover, unless complications de-
veloped. Loomis said that Smith had
been in a grill with Mrs. LOOMS early
in the evening and that Smith for a
long time had been looking for him to
shoot him.
Loomis is captain of a river steamer.

WAR RESOLUTION
HAS A MEANING
SO Hints Yankees Owner, Who
Says Murphy Is the Largest
Target Aimed AT.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The resolu-
ton passed by the American League
last week, severing friendly relations
with the National League and stating
terms for the future handling of
worlds series tickets, is not without
a meaning, said President Farrell, of
the H~ighlanders Yesterday.
That will be shown in "A few days
and hen some people Will open their
eyes. The trouble between the bis
leagues has been caused by G. W.
Murphy's ~uttoranees. He has insulted
our president, Ban Johnson, and we
do not intend to stand for such UNI
warranted behavior.
Johnson has managed our league
with keen judgment and is strictly
honest in his efforts To keep The sport
clean. He has faithfully tried to I'M
earth the ticket scandal, but has been
handicapped. II the National League
men do not understand the meaning
of our resolution, they will see a
light. in a few days. We do not intend
to allow them TO treat our resolution
with silent contempt"
1t is limited that there will be some
music when the national commission
meets again on January 2, in Cincin
natl.

STEPS IN AND
BLOCKS GANDEL-SA!ER DEAL.

Niee-President George J.. Solomon's
word TO the contrary, Notwithstanding,
a. well known baseball man declaresthat
International League and sold by the
Cubs without the Newark Clubs con-
sent. It Is known that Larry Schlafly
would go a long way TO get hold of his
young phenom, whom he brought to
Newark. Larry states that he does not
think that Agler will get a chance to
make good in a league game, unless he
hits well right off the reel. Perhaps
my motive is selfish" says Larry, but
| surely would like to have him."
The only way the Newark club
would have a first claim on Agler
would have been for Joe McGinnity
and II. Clay Smith TO have inserted
a clause to that effect when the deal
was closed. Agler was sold outright
and the above rule holds good only in
cases of draft when a big league club
must first offer a player TO the club
from which he was drafted before
selling him to another minor league
club.
While Joe Agler would like to re-
main in the big show he stated before
leaving for his home that he liked the
Eastern League and would rather
play in the present International
league circuit than to sit on the bench
up in the big show. His friends be-
lieve that he will make a good show
ing If he gets a real change, for Joe
is a wonderful fielder.

Lichtsnhein Must Take
Some One Besides
Safer.
MAY WIND UP WITH
JERSEY CITY CLUB AFTER ALL.

Unless President Sam ~Lichtenhein, of
the Montreal Club. is willing TO take
someone other than Vic Safer. the deal
between the Montreal International and
the Chicago National League clubs is
off. Roger Bresnahan stepped in and
blocked the deal by his refusal to waive
on Safer.
The young frst-sacker was one of the
men the Montreal Club is to receive
for First Baseman Chick Gandil. The
other man is a pitcher. named Slap
nicka, a Highlander, and a FASH con-
s~ideration of $4,000 was also to be
thrown in.
Unless Montreal is willing to accept
someone else the deal is off. Bresnahan
has one of the best first basemen in
the league in Konetchy, but he figures
that II he got Safer he might use him in
a trade that night prove advantageous
to his club. Chtcs so is not likely 10 let

If new worlds figures had been es-
tablished most of the credit would have
to be given to Brocco, the italian rider,

team was hopelessly out of the running,
he never hesitated to cut out a heart

How would you like to figure in on
the some odd SIS 900 to be divided UP
between the siX-day cyclists who went
through the gruelling ace last week?
1t would come in very handy just
around this time when Santa Claus is
due, wouldn't it?
Nobody is envying the riders, how
ever, for they earned the money. every
CEN of it. AS near as can be learned
p. +. Powers & Co. took in about
$4,000. This is not official, but it comes
very close to the mark, according to
ono who is in a position to know. The
reement is that the riders are to re-
I've 80 per cent. of the first $50. 900
ken in, and 80 per cent. of all above
, ht. Figured out, this amounts to
B,250. Just how this is to be divided
not known. 1t is split up on a prize
hsis, according to the position in
Ihich the team finished. Kramer had
special bonus of s 1900 for finishing
Ihe race, but that does not come out
BIZ the $2S, $50 mentioned above. 1t is
figured that the winning team conf
bosed of Clarke and Fogler will pick
PUP the biggest purse ever given to any
seanl, and that they will divide about
I$4. 900 between them,
While Frank Kramer finished a lap
behind this pair, he earned second
money for his team, and he will get
Just as much, and maybe more, than
Clarke. While it would Ia been a
big boost for Kramer to have won the
event, he lost no prestige by finishing
second, 1t was his first siX-day race,
while Clarke is a veteran at that game.
Also Clarke's slight advantage in years
helped him a bit.
Lorenz's refusal to riAe in the iDal
mile sprint on Saturday was the topic
of conversation whenever two bike bugs
came together.
1t meant Il big difference in the
amount of his purse, too, for he surely
would have been able to finish better
than seventh. He also had a contract
with an English tire firm, which would
have given him a big bonus, the size of
which depended on the position he
finished.
.The money will be divided up either
today or tomorrow-as soon as p. r.
Powers can get it figured up. Halstead
and Drobach have booked a passage to
England, where Halstead will become
a benedict shortly. The foreign riders
want their money as soon as possible.
Tt will be impossible for them to reach
home by Christmas Day, however. as
they had hoped.

Jackie Clarke and Joe F'ogler, the
international team, never lost the lap
they gained, and won the last six-day
race at Madison Square Garden, which
ended Saturday night.
Rutt and Clarke were the only other
combination to win by q margin Of a
circuit since 1899.
Although the finish promised 10 be
rather tame, owing to the fact that
Clarke was out of the final sprint,
there was plenty of excitement for the
10, 900 fans and fanesses that packed
the Garden to witness the deciding of
second, third, fourth, etc, places.

Although the final sprint was
scheduled immediately after the long
grind, the start was not made until
fifteen minutes later. as Lorenz twisted
his handlebars n fell off his wheel.

thought it was the last lap, and did
my best, and will not ride over again.
After a little coaxing, however. he con-

Second, Kramer-Moran third, Hal

fifth, Ca1heron-Magin; sixth. DeMara-
Lawrence, and seventh. Lorenz-Saldow.
Lorenz, however, did not start in the
second sprint, claiming that the first
time ought to be official.
The race this year was one of spills,
and that no one was seriously injured
was more or less miraculous. IT was
more of a joke than a race, yet 1t had
the same old magic spell to attract the
dollars to the box office.
The showing of Jake Magin. the To-
lad, teaming with George Cameron,
