It may not be optimism gone wild
to seriously propose that Congress
shall put Confederate veterans on
the federal pension roll, as is cons
templated by the bill introduced by
Representative Edwards Of Georgia,
but 1t Is hopefulness with no basis
whatever to rest on. Not only is
the federal pension roll now an al
most intolerable burden which no
Congress would dare to largely in
crease beyond its present enormous
dimensions, but Confederate veter-
ans fought against the government,
not for it, and the surest way to
promptly restore the Republican
party to full control of the national
government and consolidate it with
its old-time power in every State in
the North is to pass the Edwards
bill or even press it as a serious is
sue. The North WON'T stand for any4
thing Of the kind and it is playing
with fire to put the question to the
front. Mr.. Edwards and Mr.. Hob
son, who also has a measure some
what similar, are doubtless playing
politics Of the buncombe variety to
help them with their constituents in
the matter of reelection, but this
proposition is loaded with something
more than hot air and it might Ego
off" with immense harm to the
whole South and destruction to the
Democratic party. Better drop 1t
right now.

Figure a Close Race
In American League

Winning the pennant in the Ameri-
can league next season Is not going to
be an easy task for any team. Indi-
cations are that the struggle for the
flag is going to be harder fought than
ever before, for the very good reason
that the teams probably will be bet
ter balanced than they have been for
several years. Boston, for instance. is
bound to be a contender If Joe Wood
comes back to form, which is most
probable. The pitching OF the Chi
cago Sox pitchers, as shown by the
recently published league averages.
indicates that Callahan will need but
a little more batting strength to cut a
figure. Chance will have a better
team to start the season than he had
last spring, while the opinion prevails
that Hugh Jennings Tigers are going
to be dangerous, principally because
Ty Cobb has promised to hustle, and
the Tigers have added considerable
strength to their pitching staff There
Is no way to figure Cleveland out of
the running, and, of course, the Ath-
letics will, because of past perform
ances, be the favorites.
So far as the Nationals are con-
cerned the team will be stronger, even
though Griffith fails to add batting
strength, for the indications are that
the team will have the strongest
pitching staff in its history. So far
as st. Louis is concerned, the Browns
are a bit stronger than they were. but
its chances for finishing well I'D In the
race are not bright

Art DevIin Is No
SLOUGH With Mitts

Vancouver ball fans have often won
dered why Bill James, the former
Seattle kid pitching phenom. sort Of
disappeared from the box scores last
fall after getting off to a sensational
start with the Boston Nationals.
Ed R. Hughes, sporting editor of
the Seattle Times, returned a few days
ago from an extended trip in the east,
and he furnishes the key to the rebus
Mr. Hughes talked to a number of
Boston sport writer's during the
worlds series, and while all dope
James strong for the next year, they
said he got too cocky and wanted to
clean up all the fighters on the club
Naturally. that got him in wrong.
His greatest mistake" AYERS the
Seattle millionaire .voyageur, was in
hooking up with Arthur Devlin, the
former New York Giant, now man
aging Oakland. Any man who fights
with Devlin shows bad judgment, for
he can just about clean up any ball
player In the business. James did not
know that, or evidently did not care,
for he went to the mat with Devlin
1.-The Boston scribes say that Bill
was knocked down as fast as he got
UP and had no chance to win the bat
tie. But he was Just as cocky a week
later, showing that there is nothing
the matter with his nerve. Stallings
likes Bill and expects to make great

last evening, and within a few days
he will settle down to work for his 90
round contest with Gunboat Smith,
which is scheduled for New Years

This is Pelky's second visit to Salf,

mer on theatrical trip shortly after
his defeat of Luther Mccarthy. The
Dig fellow is very quiet and mild OF
manner and does little talking He
leaves this to his manager. Burns Is
very confident that Pelky will take
the measure of the former tar. and IL
he does, Tommy hopes to take him
over to Europe and there go against
the best Of them.
.Pelky is in pretty good shape right
now" said Burns. He is a big fell

OF 220 pounds. A couple of weeks
work will put him on edge. We have
not selected a training quarters yet.
but the chances are that we will work
out at the ocean bech. We will need
plenty of good, husky sparring part

Burns looks pretty good himself
after his long absence from the ring
He intends to don the big mitts now
and then and aid his white hope In
rounding to form. In the meantime,

BARR|EAU TAKES
COUNT FROM
ANDERSON
Left to the Chin Wins Battle
for Lightweight From
Oregon

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 10.-That the
operation Bud Anderson underwent
last summer after his fight with
Leach Cross has not affected his vital
ity or hurt him in any way as
fighter was evidenced by the battle
which he put up against Frank Bar
rieau at the Vernon arena last night.
After taking decidedly the worst of 1t
for several rounds, Anderson assimi-
lated the punishment meted out to
him by Barrieau and then came on
and knocked out the Vancouver lad
in the tenth round.
For six rounds Barrieau made an
excellent showing. He easily out
boxed the Medford boy and looked
to have an excellent chance. How
ever, Anderson was forcing the pace
and did not give his man a chance
to take long breath.
In the seventh Barrieau showed
signs of tiring. Anderson noted his
opponents condition and fought
harder, and 1t was apparent to the
spectators that Anderson was gradu
ally wearing his man down.
In the ninth round Anderson f1oored
Barrieau twice with we'll placed
blows to the jaw. Barrieau rose both
times. though he was very groggy.
The finish came in the tenth round
when the Medford boy put over left
to the chin which sen Barrieau down

Of SOUTH
LINE Up FOR
bic MEET
Strong Team Is Ready to
Meet All Its Rivals on
Track and Field

The University of Southern Califor-
MIA undoubtedly has the strongest
track and field organization in the
south this season, and the men intend
TO show the University of California
and Stanford that they are on an
equality with the local universities
when the season comes round.
Trainer Boyd Comstock of the Z. S.
c. team has started work with his
men, and after the Christmas holidays
the coach again will start the real
grind Of the southern season. Indoor
meets are scheduled to be held at the
Los Angeles Athletic club. Comstock
intends to enter his men in these
meets for the experience they will
gain.
With a. team that is admittedly the
strongest in the south. the University
Of Southern California is looking for
organizations in the south strong
enough to give the men proper COM
petition. With this end in view, Grad
uate Manager Warren Bovard has ar
ranged e special meet for the middle Of
the spring season in which his ath-
letes will compete against a selected
all-star team of 25. This team will be
selected from Occidental, Pomona,
Whittier and the University of Red
lands. Only the best men in each
event will be selected on the team, ir-
respective of his college.
The University of Southern Califor-
mia is member of the middle western
conference and will send its full team
to the big meet.
The application of the university
for membership in the eastern confer
ence, known as the 81 Four AS will
be passed on at the meeting of the
association in New York in February.
1t looks as though the application will
meet with favor. This will insure
the southern team Of a trip to Phila-
delphia in June.
The colleges of the south have or
ganized a cross country fntercol-
giate championship race, which will
be run the latter part OF January over
three and a half miles of open coun-
try. The U. S. c. will enter a strong
team in this event and will have some
strenuous opposition.
That the southerners will have a
strong track team is evident from the
array of talent already on hand Fred
Kelly, the worlds champion hurdler
and record holder, is captain of the
team. He is a host in himself and is
good for is points in every meet.
Courtney, Jackson, Laird, Berger,
and Borgstrom, the worlds interscho-
lastic pole vaulter, Bradley, Torran-
cen, Smith and Ben Ward are a few
Of the stars who will be on the teams.
The only absentees from last years
team will be Throop, the sprinter:
Hodge, the quarter miller; Earl. the
broad jumper, and Carrigan, in the
sprints.

Could Get $4,000
For Pitcher Cole

Baseball men say that If Frank
Chance will sell the release of King
Cole, the former pitcher, who was
drafted from Columbus by the New
Yorks last September. several big
league clubs will pay $4,000 for him.
Garry Hermann and Joe Tinker are
ready to pay any price for Cole. while
the Red Sox and White Sox also will
take him at the price named. But
Chance will not let the King get away
under any circumstances. The p. L.
says that Cole has every quality that
makes a great pitcher-speed, control.
a quick hook curve and brain. Bobby
Quinn of the Columbus club could
have sold Cole for $4,000 cash to sew
eral clubs before the DARTS. but he
wanted to keep the big pitcher an
other year. He says that Cole pitched
much better ball than did George Nc
Quillan, who was purchased from CO.
lumbus by the Pirates in mid season.
Cubs in 1910 say that he is every bit
as effective, and will be a sensation in
the American league next season.

ATHLETIC CHATTER
Bv WILLIAM UNMACK

Carl westerfeld will be the yacht
ing commissioner for California. rep
resenting the state at the Panama
Pacific international exposition in
1915. The appointment was made by
Governor Hiram Johnson yesterday
The commissioner is one Of the best
known yachting enthusiasts on the
bay and has for years past been a
member OF the Corinthian Yacht club.
He knows the yachting game from the
topmast to the point of the center
board. At one time he was part owner
of the sloop Aeolus, which for many
years was the champion 80 foot craft
on the bay waters. Westerfeld is a.
graduate of Yale. and ever since his
return from college. more than 20
years ago. has been connected with
the Corinthian club.
The movement to organize an inter-
collegiate Rugby association will
quite evidently fall fiat, judging by
the expressionss of Stanford. Califor-
mia, Santa Clara and st. Mary's COL
leges. 1t was reported from the south
that Graduate Manager Warren Bo-
ward of the University of Southern
California had been approached on the
subject of forming the intercollegiate
association and giving the union a
gentle push overheard. Just where
the suggestion came from seems to be
a mystery, and, furthermore. none of
the universities or colleges in this
neck of the state will have anything
to do with the idea. 1t looks like cur
tains for the intercollegiate associa-
tion.
Brother Cyril, athletic moderator OF
ST. Marv's college. has the right idea
