EMPIRES SPORTING DOPE
NORTHWEST BALL SEASON TO HIT
 BASES IN APRIL
RINe-MAr ANo eENERAL ITEMs

The 1917 season of the North. western Baseball League will open April 24 and close September 9. ac- cordlng to official decision reached by the directors Of the league. The annual schedule meeting of the league began last Saturday after noon.
 Except to decide upon the open ing and closing dates, the magnates failed to accomplish much in the line of schedule making so far. It is expected, however, that q com plete playing program will soon be drafted and approved.
 When the meeting opened the club owners spent most of their time discussing the draft of new constitution submitted by President Robert L. Blcwett. The length of time taken in the settlement of this question would indicate that the old constitution was in q sad way and needed a lot of reyamping. Blew ett had new constitution all drawn up, but the magnates appar- ently wished to dissect it thorough ly before approving it as the su- preme law of the league.
 Except for the swap of First Baseman Clifford McCarl of Van coUver for First Baseman Bill Stok- Ike of Butte, no intcrclub trades have been announced

Willard's Circus Got Color Line
 Beat.


 Jess Willarus circus is better than John L. Sullivans "color line"
 If Jess doesn't feel like fighting, all he needs to do is wave languid- ly to Tom Jones and say:
 "Hither, slave. would the cir GUS contract"
 "Yca, bo, me lord" answers Tom, smiling happily. For Tom loves that circus contract, too. It repre- sents a sure Income for the sea son, an income that cant be cut off by any wandering knockout.
 Bring me me bank balance and a pink lemonade" goes on the champion, as he takes the contract from Jones hand and unrolls it on his knee
 Bushes of close perusal of the contract, with side glances at the bank balance.
 "Varlet," roars Jess, send me word to these cheap circus rogues that l now have $4O9,716.22 in the banks and am no longer a piker. They gotto show me real money. Tell them to make this $999,OOO instead of $99,OOO and I'll sign. If Fulton calls tell him I'm out.
 With this Jess can roll into the hay and dream about how he knock ed out Jack Johnson when he was q fighter. Pretty Soft!
