No Trace Found Of
Bandit Hooper

No word has been received from
John Austin Hooper, desperate who
escaped from the Josephine county
Jail at Grants Pass last Sunday, since
he bid goodbye Sunday night to E.
E. Kroh near Rogue River, after rid
ing in his machine. Hooper, accord
ing to the Greek who escaped with
him from the county Jail, is headed
for the klamath river district, where
he has many friends among the In
dians. 1t is now believed that Hoop
er told this to the Greek, knowing
that he would give the information to
the authorities if caught, to throw
them off the trail. 1t is now believed
that Hooper is more likely to have
headed for The Dalles, where he has
a sweetheart.

Tennis Courts for Hire.

Proprietors of tennis courts rented
by the hour, day or week report a
steadily increasing demand for this
comparatively new system of secur-
ing tennis privileges. This is partic-
u!arly true of the larger cities of the
east such as New York, Philadelphia
and Boston. In many cases courts
have been booked for the entire sea-
son and new courts are being con-
structed to meet the surprising
growth in the popularity of tennis,
especially among those who are too
far removed from regular clubs or
spaces where private courts are ad-
visabe.

One and a Half Months of Baseball
Left.

The end of the 1915 baseball sea-
son is not far distant. With only a
month and half to play, the Ma
tional league teams are punched with
Philadelphia holding a scant lead
over Brooklyn, who threaten to win
their first pennant in years. The
race in the senior league is closer
than ever and sets a record for major
leagues. On Saturday the leaders
had a percentage of .539 and the tail
enders .467 In the American league
the race is not so hotly contested.
Boston has a several point lead over
Detroit for first place and are sepa-
rated from the bottom of the list by
1874 per cent. Los Angeles is lead
ing the Coast league and Portland is
at the bottom. The teams are
punched and a whirlwind finish is
expected.
In most cases the pennant races
will continue until September or Oc-
tober, the exceptions as a rule being
the southern leagues, which will close
their seasons in August. The Pacific
Coast league as usual plays the long
est schedule, ending the far west cam
paign on October "a. The major
league races will terminate on Thurs
day, October Z, and the Worlds
series will begin on either October 8
or II, according to the location of the !
cities represented in the series. As
in past years, Labor Day will mark
the finish of e majority of the minor
league flag struggles, no less than
ten of these organizations having
scheduled their final games for the
holiday

Local Sporting World
May Have National Body to Control
Boxing.

May Have National Body to Control
Boxing.
New York's boxing promoters-at
least the progressive ones-are seri-
ously considering the suggestion re-
Gently made that a national govern
| ing body be selected to control the
fistic game. Plans are under way for
meeting to be held in that city next
fall at which the organization of
such a body will be perfected. Rep
resentatives from every state in
which boxing is regulated by law are
expected to attend.
Thomas S. Andrews, boxing writer
and promoter of Milwaukee, Wis, is
responsible for the suggestion. An
drews has been associated with the
fight game for several years and has
done much to elevate it to a higher
plane. He believes that with a ma
tional governing body that would
regulate the game, boxing would be
permitted in many more states than
it is now.
One thing the commission would
settle first would be a scale of
weights for the different champion
ships At present weights for the
different titles are shifted up and
down TO suit the pleasure of whoever
happens to hold the championship at
the time. Under a national commits
sion this would be done away with.
The lightweight championship, for
instance, would have to be decided at
1873 pounds. Recently it has been
set at 13j pounds.
Uniform rules to govern boxing all
over the country would be adopted
also. At present various kinds of
rules govern the game. In many
western states boxers are permitted
to hit in the breakaways. In New
York and several other states where
boxing is regulated by the laws the
boxers have to break clean" They
are not allowed to hit when stepping
out of a clinch.
A national body could also govern
championships. No fighter would be
permitted to hold a championship
indefinitely without defending it. At
present a champion can hold his title
forever without risking it in bout
to decision if he cares to do so.
Avaricious managers have also
been a thorn in promoters sides for
a long time. A national governing
body could in a large measure do |
away with this evil. EXorbitant de-
mands by boxers could be regulated |

Valley Boy Hitting Well in Bi
Brush.

Kenneth Williams, formerly
player with the Grants Pass base

out the Rogue River valley, now play
ing with Cincinnati in the National
league, secured a three-bagger, a
two-bagger and a single at five times
at bat in a game with New York re-

Figures of 1873.

That the high cost of baseball is
not confined to the present day is
proved by the report of the Boston
baseball club of 1875. The figures
of forty years ago show that the ex-
penses of the team for the season
were $34,505.99 and the receipts
$37,76106, leaving a profit of $3,-
261.O7, which was less than 10 per
cent OF the gross receipts.
