CORTLAND club of the Coast
league hasn't started its spring
training yet but manager Walt Nc
Creole has already announced his
batting order. Some of the recruits
are now propOunding the old ques-
ton: whats the use?'
FL PAS0 could have secured the
- training camp of one of the
Western league teams had a bit Of
energy along the right lines been
shown here. Denver has been seek
ing a training camp for several
weeks but has now selected Genda
Springs, Kas.
NEW ORLEANS is breaking into
the auto speedway game and
announcement is made that a big
speedway will be erected there dur
ing the present summer. With
horse races and boxing bouts in the
winter and auto races in the sum-
mer, New Orleans is getting to be a
speedy city.

LUIGI FULLERTON may as well
rest up on doping out the Amer
lean league race, for Ban Johnson
yes, the one and only, the mighty
"Big Ban"-has spoken. He says
the race will be between the Red
Sox, Tigers and White SOx, with the
Browns, Yankees and Senators
causing a lot of trouble" Yes, you
can take your choice, the way Ban
dopes it out.
RALL players who were with the
Butte team in the old Union
association in 1913 and didn't get
their full salary, will receive checks
within the next couple of weeks,
according to advices from the offices
Of the Northwestern league, which
is about to place a team in Butte.
The back salaries amount to about
$1,000.
"RUS" GILLETTE, who was the
pitching star of the CONNER
cial league last year, would make a
good man for McCloskey to try out
with the professionals this year. 1t
is not known whether the youngster
cares to enter the professional game
but if he does he should make good
and would be a valuable man for the
local team.

By "BECK."

MATRIM0NY seems to be playing
AA havoc with the motor racing
stars. Louis Disbrow was hitched
double at Chicago on Saturday night
and Immediately announced his re-
tiTement as a driver. Len 0rmsby,
a well known driver, was here last
week with the treason" for his re-
tirement and two or three other
stars of the game have announced
their retirement during the past few
weeks.
BASEBALL men who like hunting
in the Off-seasOn all know the
famous Comiskey camp in Wisconsin.
Last year, American league baseball
men sent a big shipment of baseball
goods to the Canadian troops on the
French battle front. The Canadian
government has reciprocated y con-
senting to the shipment of two live
caribou from northern Ontario to the
Comiskey shooting preserve.

FL PASO athletes are making a
very fair showing in the Y. NJ.
c. A. Hexathlon events. The young
sters are doing wonderfully well
and if they keep up their good work
in the next two or three years there
will be a crop of young men here
who can hold up their end with any
city in the country when it comes to
clean athletics.
I 0CAL baseball fans are wonder
ing what sort of a team will
represent Ell Paso in the new Rio
Grar7a league. Manager John ].
McCloskey hasn't signed up his en-
tire squad yet but some of tie can
didates who will try out are:
Catcher, probably Jac1- Bliss; pitch
ers, Kitty knight, Pete Leyva, c.
Wilson, late of the army; Maresch,
of the 10th infantry, and another
good man yet to Je secured; first
base, Joe Mathes; second Dase, Billy
Head, late of the 10th infantry;
shortstop, probably the "masked
marvep from Colorado, Texas, and
Medina, former Copper and City
league star; third base, Billy
Meason; outfield, Harry Thompson
and one other with Pete Leyva and
Kitty Knight for the outfield when
not pitching.

The heavyweight king would make
hit with the crowds that watch him

Both men worked with him during
the long grind preliminary to his Ha-

sparring with them, has come to know
just how they Inland what they've
got Their shifts and swings are an
open book to him. and because Of this
they don't give Kim as much Of an ar
gument as the fans would like to see.
Furthermore. both men are careful
not to wound the champion. They
slam him and they bang him-but they
never put real force behind their
swings, even though they use gloves
so heavily padded they are almost as
soft as pillows.

Jim Brown. who managed the Tucson
club in the Rio Grande league last
season, is expected in Ell Paso today
from Miami. He is en- route to Albu-
querque and the northern end Of the
new circuit for organization purposes
and will take over one of the northern
franchises, possibly that in the Duke
City.
John J. McCloskey expects to go
north with Brown and they will start
the organization Of clubs at Pueblo,
Trinidad and La Junta. La Junta is
reported to have matters well lined up
already and the attendance of the two
magnates is awaited merely to put
through the formal organization.
The Pueblo fans are also showing
considerable interest in the new league
and the magnates will have no trouble
forming a stock company to take hOld
of matters there.
Trinidad is virgin territory. so far as
is known here. The fans there are
anxious for league baseball, according
to letters received here, but no steps
