Radical Changes Alone
Can Preserve Baseball

year. If a great number were thrown
on the market in this manner, it
would cause the ball players who
were reserved to be a little more
anxious TO be signed, and they would
be more satisfied to deal fairly. Last,
but not least, it would insure In any
case forty or fifty new ball players,
which would be a great asset from
gate standpoint, and has everything
to do with the future of our organlza-
ton.
Farming Serious Menace
Now, as to the fourth subject, farm
ing or optional agreements, | attempt
ed to find out from the national board
the definition of an optional agree
ment, since farming IS prohibited
under our laws. The only reason that
the board offered was that an OPP
tional agreement was simply legallzing
the farming. Now, this is the deiini-
ton given to me by the committee OF
the governing board, and, If true, 1t
seems the men who have to meet the
payroll every two weeks in the MINOR
leagues should take a step to overcome
IT, An optional agreement player IN q
minor league where the gate is not
self-sustaining, and this holds true IN
30 per cent of our towns, is excess
baggage. II it is a fact that farming
should be prohibited, optional agree
ments should not exist. Any club
under the changes that | have sug-
gested could 90 out and get new ma
terisl and there would be some future
for the men who are behind the vari-
Gus ball clubs, instead of having this
one thing confronting them daily;
How much more money have | got
10 give up before the season ends y
The four items in question have all
70 do with the success or reverses OF
the baseball clubs and leagues, and
since every known reason has been set
forth for the cause of the lack OF
interest in baseball from an attendance
standpoint and nothing has been Of
fered that can change this situation. /
now think that we know just what 70
expect and that we should change our
rules and laws to meet the situation
as 1t really exists to-day. IL may be
that the leagues in the Far West or
in the extreme South are laborlng
under a condition that is somewhat
different from the many leagues in
the Central States and in the East.
But, if these four subjects were taken
up and threshed out, | am perfectly
satisfied that we could avoid the sure
death of many league.
II is admitted by all that some
changes must take place in order for
some of the leagues to survive. and
under our rules this can only be ac-
complished at a convention or spe-
cial meeting. In view of that l sug-
gest a special meeting some time the
latter part of December, when this
whole matter may be taken up and
acted upon.

POWER BOAT MEN

Navy Department Shows
Interest in Boom for
High Speed Craft
By CAPTAIN JAMES c. SUMMERS

~ ~ 'F'-' SH'tiNo Y. OJhMERS
The demand By yschtsmen for n.v
high speed power boats and engine.
for use in 1917 Is 50 great that N.
builders Of both nave been Obliged in
many cases TO enlarge their plants IN
order 20 be able 20 make deliverie, On
time. The chief reason for this Ia ia
constant demand by foreign govern
ments on American shipyards Tor fas,
patrol boats and submarine chasers
or the thirty-siX high speed power
boats. sixty feet over all, ordered bv
the Russian government for patrol
work from the Greenport, l.. l., shin
and Yacht Building Company twenty
have been completed and shipped 70
their destination, and the rest row
under construction will be completed
in time 20 begin the building Of power
yachts and others at the same yard.
The Electric Boat Company, Of Bay.
onne. y. j., is at work on a large order
of 80-foot patrol boats for the British
government, II is said, in addition %
many orders for yachts for the season
of 1917.
In order TO show yachtsmcn the
types best suited for scout and patrol
work the Navy Department has had
built two power boats 45 and IS feet
long, respectively; also a power driven
torpedo boat equipped with engines
that are TO send her az an average
speed Of forty-one miles an hour. l.
was hoped that these boats would BE-
exhibited az the annual Motor Boat
Show. which will open IN the Grand
Central Palace on January q, put thew
would occupy so much space and be
so difficult 20 transport that the idea
has been abandoned, ard instead
models will be shown. Their features
are to be explained by naval officers.
The Navy Department will be repre-
scented all the week at the show By
some Of its best naval constructors and
engineers.
According to "The Yacht Register
there are 1900 power boats, ranging
from 80 to 100 feet long, enrolled in
the leading yacht clubs OF this eoun-
try. It is the plan of the Navy De-
partment 20 list and classify these, &C.
cordlng to the duties 20 which they
are peculiarly adapted, and az the
same time 10 enlist the services Of the
owners.
1t has been ascertained tha, there
are twenty-nine different uses for
power boats in time of war. The
high speed boat can De used for dis
patch duty, the stanch boat Of mod
crate speed for submarine chasing and
outside patrol work, the seaworthy
boat of about twelve miles speed for
patrolling at harbor entrances and
smaller boata for inside work
The fastest Of those suggested By
the Navy Department are those that
will make sixteen miles an hour and
be able TO go out IN q moderate gale
and stay at sea for seven days.

COAST HOCKEY
LEAGUE AWARDS
TITLE TROPHY

Vancouver, B. c.. Dec. 9.-Pacific
coast hockey magnates are going TO try
a new wrinkle this season that is GER
tain 70 excite a lot Of interest not only
with the PLAYERS, but fandom. The
plan announced from headquarters by
President Frank Patrick is 70 award a
championship emblem TO the player
who proves the most valuable man in
the League during the coming cam
paign. Il will be run along lines sim
liar to those which governed the major
baseball league individual race few
years ago, when chug chug wagons
we're allocated 10 the most valuable
men in the National and American
leagues. Every hockey player in the
Coast league will have a chance for the
prize. which will be a valuable one and
which is being offered by the Coast
body.
All points in connection with the
PLAYERS performances during the sea-
SON will be considered in making the
award the official scorers in each OF
the four cities OH the circuit being
delegated with the task OF keeping an
accurate record. and at the conclusion
of the race there will be q comparison
of these marks and the award based on
the judgment of these officials. Points
will be awarded for speed, stamina,
work, scoring ability,
judgment, popularity with team mates,
etc, a maximum Of 100 points having
been decided on.
With so many stars in the Coast
league clubs it is expected that there
will be keen competition for the prize.
Every team boasts one or more stars.
Vancouver had sure starter and CON
tender in "Cyclone" Taylor; Portland
has a big star and general favorite in
Moose" Johnson; Seattle's big noise Is
Jack Walker. and Lester Patrick is
Spokanes best bet. All in all the. com
petition is expected to create lot OF
interest in the Coast campaign.
