SPORTS Gossip About Events of National Importance and the Persons Who Are In the Head
 Liner Glasses.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1. - While Seattle boasts of a 20 year old one armed boy, named Louis Penz, who can pitch, bat, run bases and general ly play a star game of baseball, Van couver owns a deaf and dumb foreign knowledge of the English language, who Is said to have signed a contract with Walter McCredie, of the Portland club of the Pacific Coast League, for 1917. His name is Louis Kotula.
 Penz was a shortstop until he fell one day while hunting, and his gun was accidentally discharged, the shot lodging in his left forearm, which was amputated. He turned his attention to pitching and has succeeded. He says his right arm has developed ex- traordinarily since he has had to use 1t exclusively, and believes it has ac-
 
 guired the additional strength which was in his left arm. Those who have faced his pitching declare he has un- usual speed.
 The remarkable part about this player is that instead of falling off, in his batting, his percentage is high CT since being compelled to use his right hand. In a recent game which Penz pitched and won, he made five hits out of six at bat, two of them being for doubles.
 Kotula is also 20 years old and a pitcher, and the strikeout sensation of the Woodland club of the InterCity league. He first attracted attention last spring by pitching four games in five days and winning three of them. In game with the Benson Polytech- mic players this season he struck out 20 batters, and a week later famed 20 men of Company H. Fist U. s. in fantry.
 Like Penz, Kotula's forte is said to be in his ability to bat the balls not withstanding the fact that pitchers generally are not conceded to figure in the batting averages of club. His record includes large proportion of hits that went for extra bases. His contract with Portland is said to call for $175 a month.
 FIRES DESTROY BIRDS.
 Sportsmen of Occur d'Alene, Idaho, appreciating the havoc occasioned by forest fires among game birds and ami mals, are taking an active part in the installation of an effective fire fight ing and fire prevention organization in that district. In cooperation with their local forestry headquarters, much preliminary work has also been done, and in a few weeks 1t is eX- pected that adequate preparedness against possible fires will be estab> lished.
 According to Meyer H. Wolff, dis trict sunaryis0r Of the Occur d'Alene
The Cordova daily times., 1916-07-06

national forest, the records show that from 55 to 50 per cent of the forest fires in that region are due to light ming. The remainder he classes as "preventable' fires, concerning which many hunters, campers and hikers are in need of cautionary instructions. Aside from the organization of pa- trols lookout men and fire fighting crews, he points out the fact that to minimize the "preventable" fires lies largely with the public as to the haz- ard of abandoned camp fires or cigar stubs thrown carelessly along the trails.
 In this connection, it Is said, hunts men are beginning to realize more and more the necessity for their in terest and active cooperation in the matter of forest fire prevention for the sake of protecting their own sport. No available data Is obtainable con corning the loss of life which occurs in these fires among the wild game, but it is known to be large and in a large measure counteracts the efforts made for their protection and propagation.
 KELLY TO GO EAST.
 It is rumored in sporting circles that Fred Kelly, of Los Angeles, for mer worlds record holder in the high hurdles. has ambitions to shine at all-round athletics. Gossip goes so far as to say that Kelly is grooming him self for the test at the national A. A. U. championships, which will be held in Newark next September. Accord ing to report, John Anderson, the Swedish athlete, who is employed by the Russian government to teach the Czar's young men how to comport themselves on field and track, and who is here studying American meth ods, is responsible for Kelly's ambi- tion. Anderson is said to have told Kelly that he thought the hurdler would make a success at the all-round event.
 Followers of track athletics general ly coincide in Anderson's view. There are ten events contested in the test for all-round supremacy. In six Of these Kelly already has shown himself to be considerably above par. These are the 100 meter hurdles, 100 meter dash. 400 meter run, javelin throw, broad jump and shot put. His weak ness probably would lie in the pole vault, high jump, mile run and discus throw. Anderson, who is an expert in the discus and jayelin throws, is reported to have spent several after moons instructing Kelly in the finer points of these events.

pale still, and to her passionate eyes

certain diffldence. This was balm to
her fears and her anxiety.
