Mccoy, Ore, Sept. 6, 1916.
Editor Capital Journal: Permit us to
make report to the Polk county tax
payers league.
Being appointed at a regular meet
ing of our tax payers league, a commit
tee of three, to formulate and have
printed the recall petitions upon the
members of our county court, said com
mittee have therefore had printed 200
petitions for recall of County Judge
Teal; 200 petitions for recall of Commits
sioner Wells; 200 petitions for recall of
Commissioner Beckett.
These petitions are now ready for
circulation for signatures. However,
it now becomes necessary for the Tax
Payers leagoe to take steps and means
and to designate circulators in each
election precinct to obtain the neces-
sary signatures in order to bring re-
suits from and upon your recall move
ment. These petitions should be
signed and duly verified and filed
with the county clerk not later than
October inst. Your committee would
therefore suggest that a mass meeting
be held at the court house in Dallas
at l p. m. of Wednesday, September
20. Select circulators in the various
precincts of the county that the neces-
saIy signatures be obtained to make
your move effective.
Much talk is heard of limiting the re-
call to only q portion of the court mem.
bers. Such matters can be considered
at this meeting. 1t is now up to you to
act.

LES DARCY ARRIVES
IN old new YORK
Australian Battler Lands at Quarantine
as Fireman on Steamer Cushing.

New York. Dec. 22-Les Darcy is here.
He arrived early this morning Just now
he Is In quarantine. Early tomorrow
morning Tex Rickard will board a rev.
enue cutter and extend a personal well
come. to the Australian boxer. The well
come will come from the bottom of a
promoters heart.
Darcy arrived upon the oil tank steamer
Gushing. He shipped as a fireman and
because Of this 1t is believed he will have
little difficulty with government officials.
The Gushing left Chile three weeks ago.
1t made two stops. One was at Peru,
the other was for coaling purposes on
;he Mexican coast.
Over two months ago Darcy left Aus
tralia. his native land. Australia is n
British Dominion and Britain Is at war.
Darcy left without passport. Tex
Rickard stated last night that the Aus
admittance to this country. Presumably
Ricksrd's opinion is based upon the
premises that Darcy Is here as a sailor
and not an Australian fighter.
Rickard hopes to sign Darcy to a con-
tract which will give him the exclusive
American rights to Darcy's boxing serV-
ices.
Jack Kearns. a Western manager. also
intends to extend a personal welcome to
the Australian. Kearns passed through
Chicago Thursday night and is believed
to be in New York.
1t is said that he has Darcy's signature
to a contract for the Australians boxing
services in this country. According to
Kearns. Darcy signed this contract in
Australia about a year ago. At that time
Kearns was in Australia. He was man
aging Jimmy Cabby. an American mid
dleweight.
C1abby was one of the several Ameri-
can boxers defeated by Darcy. George
Chip ana Edie McGoorty are two others.
He won the decision over Clabby In a Do
round bout. He knocked out Chip in
nine rounds. He won from McGoorty in
eight rounds
Tom Jones and Jack Curley. two of
Jess Wizards managers, are also inter-
ested in Darcy's arrival.
small sized army of other fight man
ayers also are desirous of guiding Darcy s
pugilistic destinies in this country.

BASEBALL PLAYER BEST
RECEIVER OF FORWARDS

Pat Moran. Eddie Burns. Sherwood Ma
gee, Chief Bender and other ball tossers
who have been spending the off season in
Philadelphia, have been watching football
closely.
Magee not only saw the big games this
fall, but was almost a daily visitor to
the drilling at Franklin Field
All these stars agreed that a football
player who also played baseball in the
spring made the best receiver of forward
PASSES. They say while a football is q
far different article than a baseball, the
ball player is better fitted to catch the
pigskin than a player who has no expert
ence in catching line-drives, long flies or
sCOopinS up grOundcrs.
They declare their contention is proved
by the facility with which Berry, of
Penn, and Legore. OF Yale, receive and
intercept forward passes. Both Berry and
Legore are baseball stars, as well as foot
ball celebrities. and they handle a pig
skin as smoothly as they do a baseball

ATHLETICS MUST BE
CONSIDERED IN RACE
Connie Mack Believes His Club Will Be
in the Running in 1917.

PhiladeIphIs, Dtc. add the Athletics
to the list OF first division contenders In
1917 The consensus of opinion among
baseball men who gathered at the recent
meeting Of the National League. in New
York, was that the Athletics would have
to be reckoned with next season and that
Connie Mack would put in the field Q
team far superior to the misft sggrega-
ton that carried his silks last season.
Conaie himself believes the Athletics
will finish among the first four. For the
first time he wrecked his far-famed ma
chine the angular tactician is able TO hg-
ure on his regulars.
He will have McInnis Grover Witt and
Bates on his inneld- Grover and Bates
are said to be two Of the most promising
youngsters that ever broke into the
American League. Grover probably will
play second base In plaza Of LArry LaJoie
and Bates will be al third in place OF
Charlie Pick. Ping Bodie, Strunk and
Thrasher probably will comprise the
Mackian outheld, with Bush. Myers.
Nabors, johnson and Sheehan forming
a nucleus for a pitching sean. Both Bush
and Myers performed admirably last sea
son despite the poor shewing OF the team.
and Mack is counting on them TO be at
their best in 1917.
Thrasher comes from Atlanta and dur
ing the closing days of the season Of 1916
he was one of the hitting sensations OF
the American circuit In one game he
connected for a homer. two triples and q
double. Connie has said that Thrasher
Is one Of the most natural stfckers he
ever has seen, and, I'm proof Of this. he
asserts he will play the youngster in the
opening game OF 1877 unless. OF course,
injuries intervene.

GEORGETOWN TO PLAY
POLYS In RICHMOND

Richmond, Va. Dec. 22.-Georgetown Is
to play Virginia Polytechnic Institute in
Richmond November IT. 1877, according
to information received here yesterday.
Although the report could not be con-
frmed last night, 1t is understood that
the game has been definitely arranged.
1t Is a known fact that the Virginia
Techs have an option on Broad Street
Park for that date and that they have
been negotiating with Georgetown. The
Techs also made an effort to induce West
Virginia University to come here, but
the Morgantown eleven had closed with
Washington and Jefferson for a game on
November II and for that reason the
game could not be arranged. The Blacks
burg eleven will play West Virginia in
Huntington, W. Va, November 10.
Efforts to get into communication with
Athletic Director Miles of V. P. l., and
Charles Cox. graduate manager Of
Georgetown, last night proved fruitless.
but the information regarding the contest
came from most reliable source and it
Is thought that the game has been defn-
ltely arranged.

Federal Leaguers Lost
About One-Half Million

Therefore. the present Cub owners, for an
investment OF $9S0OO0, have secured a
club once valued at $780, 900, and, in ad-
dition, they have a new plant, which
wasn't figured in the original price asked
for the Cubs in the days before the Feds
came.
Phil Ball lost some money operating in
St. Louis. But by becoming a Fed mag
rate Phil ultimately realized his ambi-
tion-to own the Browns. What he lost
as a Fed he probably will be able to
make up in two or three years as a
Brownie owner. The Baltimore club
actually made 5000 during the 1914 sea-
son. 1t lost $4,000 during 1875 That
made a net loss of $4l 600. Baltimore had
probably $4,000 tied up in stands, etc.
but It got back part Of that. So Balu-
more's dead loss probably wasn't much
more than $4,000. according to my reck-
oning.
Buffalo and Kansas City lost during
both years, yet neither had much involv-
ed in the way of stands, equipment, etc.
Their overhead expense wasn't great.
When peace came they didn't lose much
by the scrapping Of their ball parks.
Harry Sinclair made money as a Federal
Lacquer through the sale of players after
peace came"
why did the Feds submit to peace
and go out of businessT'
Because the chance to quit came at q
time when some of our magnates were
in a mood for 1t, and also because the
terms offered us by organized baseball
were very fine, indeed" Gilmore replied.
The death of Robert B. Ward was a
terrific blow to us. He was q fighter and
Federal League enthusiast. He would
have gone to the limit of his bank roll to
win out in our fight
Ward died Just at a time when some
of our magnates were a bit discouraged
by the review of the 1915 season. Inn
mediately following his death came over
lures, unofficial at first, from organized
baseball Later they were put into con-
crete shape
We found that the terms of settlement
offered us by organized baseball were far
better than we had expected. The matter
Vas put up TO our magnates. Weegh-
man and Ball favored their acceptance
because the terms permitted them to buy
Federal League franchises. The Ward
family was tired of baseball and voted
for peace. Sinclair wanted to go ahead
with the fight, but he trailed with the
majority faction. The Buffalo and Kan
sas City clubs were defunct Baltimore
early in the negotiations declared that
the terms were acceptable to IT,
Baseball is a grand and glorious game
when you are fan. But when you are
prestdentng a league that no one seemed
to care much about-welI, that's some
thing else again"
