DOPE ON PENNANT TRUST
Salt Lake Tribune.

When it appeared as if Fred
Clarke had designs upon organizing
a pennant trust" among Hans Wag-
ner and his other pals, there arose a
mighty McGraw to check the presu-
mption. And when in turn McGraw
began to aspire along similar lines,
Frank Chance sprang into prominen-
ce.
Thus came into being the Great
Three which proved an ideal COM
bination for the parent major body.
Each of the three checkmated the
others so that the balance of power
kept wavering about. Honors passed
back and forth constantly, and as it
were with no one city bagging the
laurels and all three-New York,
Chicago and Pittsburg-very much
in the limelight at all times.
Of the three great National lea
que managers, Clarke, on account of
his length of service, must be award
ed the palm, though both McGraw
and Chance have shown better aver
ages in shorter experiences. In thir-
teen years Clarke has won 1901 and
lost 1872 games for a grand average
of.621. No other big manager has
won thousand games. McGraw is
closest with 956 victories for ten
years. Opposed to the winnings are
$50 defeats, which produce a record
of .632. In seven years Chance has
won TIA and lost but 356, develop.

MORTAR APPOINTED WATER
COMMISSIONER.

Boise, March-Acting in conformi-

commissioners, Acting Governor Her
man H. Taylor, last night appointed
W. A. Mortar of McCammon, com
missioner of the First district, COM
prising territory in southeastern Ida
no, to succeed Charles Van Camp, re-
signed. The appointment will take
effect Immediately. Van Camp pre-
sented his resignation several days
ago and it was accepted.
The new water commissioner of the
First district will only be on duty
during those months of the year
when it is believed that the services
of such a commissioner are absolutely
necessary to settle water controver-
sizes up and down the Snake river
and its tributaries. The compensa-
ton allowed is at the rate of $4,000
a year, the same salary allowed for
water commissioners who, prior to
the enactment of the new law, drew
this amount Of salary per annum,
whether they we're actually employed
in their district all the year or only
part of the year.

Pay Only for Work.

Provision is made in the new Law
to pay the commissioners only during
the actual time they work and not
for the entire year. There is de-
mand made on the legislature to alb
olish the office of water commissioner
entirely. A bill was introduced in
the house placing the power of ap-
pointing water commissioners in the
hands of the state engineer or to per-
NIT him to use deputies as water
commissioners. Another bill intro
duced in the senate gave the appoin-
tive power to the governor and short
ened the term of office OF the COM
missioners in that they work only
during the season of the year when
needed. This bill passed and was
signed. 1t Is the one under which

SON OF KIT CARSON DIES OF
STARVATION.

RENO, New, March 22.-Baffled in
his attempts to get food by loss
of his savings of eight years, amount
ing to 1920, Lewis c. Schilling, 81,
sole survivor of the Alamo massacre
and adopted son of Kit Carson, was
gripped by starvation and is dead
here to-day.
Schilling passed away in an old
shack where he had subsisted on
crackers and water until he could
sustain himself no longer.
Schilling lost the money on re-
cent trip to California and had to Dor
row coin to return to his shack here.
SchilIing was adjutant to General p.

RICHIE DODGES MANY MEN.

A story told recently by Jim Cor

Richie trying to go over to England
and appear before the foot-lights.
Corbett was billed to start his Brit

have been Birmingham and when he
appeared to do his monologue he was
visibly discouraged by the lack of
effervescence in the crowd and the
calm-eyed manner in which he was
viewed

of every three.games played


In one way 1t is very much to be
regretted that Frank Chance was
forced to discontinue his labors with
the Cubs. 1t would have been inter-
esting indeed to see him shoot
away at Clarke's record for thirteen
years. Chance may do greater
things in New York than he did in
Chicago, but the way to direct COM
parison to the abilities of his two
erstwhile respected contemporaries
will have been lost.
1t seems safe to say, however, that
it is very doubtful if any league will
ever boast again three such wonder
full managers as Fred Clarke, John
McGraw and Frank Chance. They
have won more games than any trio
of any time. In an aggregate of
thirty seasons the big three" bag
ged 2S71 victories out of 1918 play
ed, showing total percentage Of ap-
proximately $40. They have regis
tered considerably over three vic
tories out of every five starts. 1t will
be interesting to note the duel be-
tween McGraw and Clarke now that
the common rival, Frank Chance,
has looked upon new fields of con-
quest.

WRESTLING MATCH NEXT WEEK
EITHER TUESDAY OR WED.

Local sports are planning on a
wrestling match to take place here
in this city either next Tuesday or
Wednesday, between young Merck
ley of Blackfoot, and Christensen of
Shelley. This should be a good even
match, as the men are about of the
same weight, and both are experience
ed wrestlers. Mr.. Merckley who
has been attending school at Logan
this winter carried off the prizes
down there in the middleweight class
and also the heavyweight class. Mr.
Christensen, is also some "goer"
himself, as he recently threw Bill
Clute, breaking his arm. Merkeley
says that all he wants is to get on
the mat with him and he will do his
best to bring the bacon home to the
young sports of Blackfoot.
Ole Farmer who is manager for
Mr.. Merkeley is trying to get the
Isis theatre for the occasion, and as
yet no report has been turned into
this office.
There will be two good prelimen-
arys, Dib Farmer a very promising
young boxer of this city and Frank
Hooper of Indiana will box five
rounds.
Mr.. Smith the champion light
weight of Canada will attempt to
throw Mr.. Clyde Hudson of Black
foot twice in half hour.

FARO IN NEVADA, BUT NO LONG
MITT BOUTS.
Salt Lake Tribune.

OilI AAAEAO
AS a proving ground for the
champions of the prize ring, Nevada
has been wiped off the map.
Sixteen years ago, through the act
ivities of Promoter Dan Stewart, the
legislators of the Sagebrush state
passed a measure which made finish
fights possible. The first contest un-
der the new order of things was that
between Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim
Corbett. 1t took place at Carson on
st. Patrick's day and by a note
worthy coincidence the law was re-
pealed on the sixteenth anniversary
of the bout in question.
1t can hardly be said that pro-
moters at large availed themselves
to any extent of the open door policy
of Nevada. In all the years that act
remained operative only five big
matches were arranged and of these
only two are worth a thought at this
late date These are the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons contest at Corson and
the Battling Nelson-Joe Cans affair
at Goldffeld.
The Jeffries-Johnson tilt at Reno is
merely spoken of in whispers, the

was a joke, and the Joe-Gans-Kid

sporting matters knows that McFar-
land cannot make 1873 pounds for
boxing purposes at any time of day.
If Packey agreed to any such things
the match would be one to view with
suspicion.
Jimmy Britt once declared that
there are no ethics in pugilism, and
the chances are he was right It is
for each boxer to lay out the course
he thinks best and Judge of the cor
rectness of his judgment by the mea-
sure of success met with.
1t is in Willie Ritchie's power to
dodge Fourth of July meeting with
one of our willing American light
weights and go junketing across the
pond if he feels that way about it :;
but it would be as well for him to
remember that SO far he has done
nothing to perpetuate his fame as a
pugilist.
When a fighter with a weak record
yanks himself out of the limelight
he has a deuce of a time working
back to the place where the glare is,
1t pays to advertise, and the best
kind of advertising for man like
Willie Richie is to be up and doing
in his particular field of endeavor.
