"TICKLED To GET
Cut OF IT. SAYS
WALTER McCREDIE
Beaver Boss Expects to Make
More Money in Northwest;
Los Angeles Cheap Town

Walter MeCredie fears for the fu
ture' of the Coast league. Walter has
quite a lot to say about throwing out
Portland and taking in Sacramento.
Il think ii is step backward, was
Walters comment recently. When
the league throws out towns like Port
land to take in villages like Sacra
mento they are going back to the stuff
bush leagues are pulling.
1T is folly to compare Sacramento
or Fresno with Portland. We had bad
year, will admit So did baseball all
over the country. The biggest cities
in the East failed to draw. The war
has had its effect and baseball will
suffer until the war is over. Then ]
look for the sport to build up again.
In one sense the transportation to
Portland is bad feature and yet Salt
Lake offers more difficulty in that re-
gard. .s. ~
Take Los Angeles for instance. It
is the cheapest town on the coast and
still they had the most to say about
throwing out Portland. We gave the
league far more than Los Angeles did
if you consider all the years We have
been in baseball We had one bad
year and they arr all on us to throw
us out. Los Angeles will never be d
good bail town. In is a tourists town
and that lets it out. ..s-s.
Fresno does not figure to get by in
Coast league circles either. They will
be enthusiastic about it at the start
but interest will wane after awhile.
81 can make more money with my
town in Northwestern league. 1t is
only a short ride to Seattle and Van
couver. All the towns around there are
punched. We have a good population
to draw from and it is getting better
all the time. Seattle is building up on
account of its war industries. #
Il will say this, however, Sacramen-
TO will have to come through with
enough money to recompense us for
cur ball players or they cannot get in
to the league They don't figure to
get in for nothing, do they?"

JAPANESE MAKE
GOOD WITH OARS
Noted 0arSman Who Coached
in Honolulu and Toxic Says
Japan Likes Races

NEW YORK.-John Regain, promi
nent in amateur rowing circles, ant
member of the Metropolitan Rowing
club of this city, was the pioneer il
introducing Sculling in Japan and Ho
nolulu He made trip to Japan and
the Hawaiian Islands a few years ago
staying for several weeks in Honolulu
and Toxic.
He found that rowing men in those
cities used only stationary seats, and
the merits of sliding seats were total
" unknown to them. Members OF these
clubs occasionally went to England
aud the United States on business
trips, taking their rowing enthusiasm
along with them. Naturally, they Wis
tied the rowing clubs of those coun
tries, and Mr.. Tsato, prominent bank
er of Toxic, and member of the row
ing club in that city, was one of these
men.
Later he was appointed United
States manager Of a japanese bank i'll
this city, came here to live, and ell
rolled in the Metropolitan Rowing
club. Later he returned to japan and
Is NOW IllGHdSGi I'll Tic luNto II luI bCA1Lh
of Toxic. .-..
Mr.. Tsato described so wildly the
attractiveness Of shell-boat rowing to
his fellow members that he sent To
England and had several singles and
four-oared shells built. He writes Mr.
Regain TO, the effect that races are be
ing held every week on the beautiful
rowing course in Tokio-which, by the
! way, is perfectly smooth with little
tiGewater and runs through the heart
Of the citv-and that the banks of the
river are lined with spectators when
the races take place, who look on the
frail shells and the speed with which
the oarsmen glide through the water
with amaZement.
The Yokohama European Rowing
club has also shells and races are be-
ing arranged between the two organi'
cations. The letter states further that
when the wa is over and conditions
are normal the Toxic club will un
doubtedly send men to row in the ma
tional regatta in the United States.

ENGLISH JOCKEY
IS TORTURED BY
GERMAN TROOPS

PARIS, Nov. 3.--"Snowy" Williams
for years an English jockey riding at
the French race tracks at Chant1lly
Maisons Lafitte and Paris, has arrived
here, en- route for London, where he is
to be presented to King George V,
after undergoing one of the most har'
rowing experiences of any soldier IN
the great war and escaping from the
hands OF the enemy in the oldest man
ner conceivable.
With a French comrade who had
been captured with him in Albania
Williams was tied to tree by Bull
garian troops under the leadership OF
two Prussian officers, and kept there
70: seven days and seven nights. Du
Ing that period the French soldier, by
twisting his head toward his left snoul-
der gnawed through the rope that
iound him there and then wrigS4ed
hiniself loose and rleed nc es Jockey.
The pair made their. escape after
killing two Bulgarian sentries and
taking their ANS and iron ratians'
and lived on grass and grapes for tarae
weeks until they si3naled a T,rtuch
fighting aeroplane flying overhead.
The pilot alighted, and when the refu
gees had proven they were members
of the French army he returned to the
allied lines, returning in three hours
with two larger bombarding machines,
which took the men aboard and trans
ported them inside their own lines.

great that some OF the moguls nave
objected to the Utah city. l..
Honolulu fans will naturally have a
warm spot in their hearts for Nc,
from the Rose City we're the first and
only team to train in the Paradise of
the Pacific. Portland and Seattle are
old rivals and the new alignment as
presented in the drawing shows con.
Iclusively the necessity for a readjust-
ment of the leagues.
Baseball men have war duty to
perform. f..
THE masses, the war laborers, the
returned and furloughed soldiers must
be entertained, said Adjt Gen. Nc
Cain to Ban Johnson. president of the
American League, at Washington re-
Gently. ....-
This rule applies not only to the ma
jors but also to the Pacific Coast and
the Northwest.
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland have
their shipbuilders, their longshoremen
and lumbeTmen. These three cities
have never known greater prosperity
than affects them today.
San Francisco, Oakland and Los
Angeles have their shipbuilders.
These cities, too, are prospecting.
Butte, Great Falls, Anaconda and
Salt Lake have their miners. In these
cities there is prosperity, too, which
is filling the banks with more money.
Such entertainment is not unpa.
triotic. 1t keeps the human upon
whose efforts the war must hinge
keyed up to his top speed 1t makes
him happy and healthy and as such
more efficient" continued Mccain.
Realizing this duty, the baseball
men are trying to arrive at the best
arrangement for carrying it out at the
least possible loss.
The soldiers leayin. for the front
have, deducted the margin of profit
under the costly present arrangement
of the Pacific Coast League and they
must accordingly arrive at less cost.
" but Just as popular plan whereby
the stay-at-homes can be entertained.
Close students of baseball believe
that the arrangement arrived at will
be something like this:
1. Northwestern League composed
Of Seattle, Portland, Tacoma and spo-
kane.
2, Mountain States League, com
posed OF salt Lake, Butte, Great
Fails and either one or three clubs
from Ogden, Anaconda and Helena.
3. California State League, COM
posed of Los Angeles, san Francisco.

MILLS SCHOOL, Nov. 16.-BaSket-
ball is making rapid progress at the
Manoa institute and three games were
played during the past four days. Yes
terday, the Sophs, who were beaten
by the Freshies, came back strong
and took a game away from the junior
team by a score Of Is to 5. This game
was one of the best played SO far, and
fouls were hardly noticed in the plays.
The losers had all the chances in the
world Of beating the Sophs, but not
a single man in the team could shoot
basket in the proper way. The five
points were made after they had shot
for the basket not less than 80
chances On the other hand, the wiz
ners, though short, had lots OF speed
and outplayed their brothers in every
department Kan Leong played the
best game for the losers, while Wah
Han and Charles Noon did the best
work for the winners.
Freshies %, Sophs ~.
Last Wednesday the strong Fresh
les defeated the Sophomore five in a
loose battle to the tune OF % to 10.
The Freshman class has one Of the
strongest teams in the league. Arthur
Il. Wyman, who knows the basketball
game from a to z, is coaching the
Freshies and, in order to win the
Championship, they will have to tackle
the senior squad which is not an easy
task. No one in school can pick the
winners when these two teams meet.
In the Freshman-Sophomor contest,
Kelly Kim, Young Yuen and Alfred
Stephens showed the best form while
none of the players from the losing
team starred.

l-Schofield football enthusiasts will
have the opportunity of witnessing
two good games the weekend, one au
exhibition contest between the 32nd
Infantry and Artillery elevens, the
other a regularly scheduled game OF
the Oahu league with the 1st infantry
and Fort Kamehameha squads as op.
ponents, scheduled for Saturday and
Sunday, respectively. The games will
be played on the 32nd Infantry grid
iron at Cashier .....s "..
The 32nd Infantry eleven appears to
have struck its true form, as was evil
denced by the signal defeat of the
Coast Defense last Sunday Having
an open date in the Oahu league,
Coach Bracken of the 32nd Infantry
decided to play the artillery to keep
his players in shape. Bracken GER
tainly has galaxy of stars in Gray
Steger, Fleishman, Matthias, Tuszin-
ske, Rasquin and others, and if he, can
keep this bunch keyed up to the right
pitch, should finish the season with
out further defeat. In such games as
the artillery team has played they
have been victorious, among their
wins being one over the Town team.
The 1st Infantry has been working
hard in preparation foc the game with
Kamehameha. This will be the Coast
Defense's first appearance at the big
post and large crowd should greet
the first blast of the referees whistle
Sunday, as the interest and partisan
ship in the two infantry teams of
Cashier is pretty evenly divided and
the, fans are anxious to get line for
comparison of the two teams, the list
and 32nd Infantry elevens clashing
Thanksgiving Day afternoon. The
baby regiment defeated the Cosme-.
lites last Sunday and for that reason
the result of Sundays game is ex-
pected to give the fans a dope sheet.
Bogham, who did such heroic work in
last Sundays game against the cav
airy, is counted upon, as are Spoonef,
Pemberton and several others, to
make substantial gains for the in.

COMMITTEE WILL

VOLCANO CLASSIC
Representatives Asked to Meet
ing Monday Evening to Plan
for Hilo- kiIauea Race

II (
Followers of athletics in Hawaii are
beginning to take real interest II
the Volcano run, which will be held on
the Big Island, January s.. Honolulu
has already lined up one team, and eff
forts are being made to send at least
five teams to Hilo in January.
A meeting of all those interested in
the big event will be held at the Pan.
Pacific rooms at 244 Hotel street on
Monday evening at 1870 At this time
the various representatives of schools,
regiments, communities and athletic
clubs will be asked to outline some
plan to raise funds for sending a team

strong, Eva, Waipahu, Aiea, Waialua,

representatives from the various ma
uonalities of the city.
Mills school wants TO enter a team
in the big race, and the boys at the
Manoa institution have a plan to sub
scribe five cents each week for a per-
Tod of weeks. Some of the boys are
going to give dime, while others
may give more. The Mills students be-
Heve that they can win the big race
which would give the school a hand
some cup and place that institution on
a high pinnacle in athletics.
Question Of Funds
This scheme could be worked out
with the other schools, regiments and
organizations If Mills with only 200
students can raise this amount it is
certain that the various regiments
with close to 1000 men each could
raise funds to send team. Five cents
from each man in any one Of the regi.
ments for three weeks would raise
enough to send representative team
to Hilo.
The local committee earnestly re.
quests that all those who are interest
ed in sending teams communicate with
the sporting editor of the Star-Bulle
tin at once. Here is an opportunity for
Shannon, Quinn and number Of
others to interest themselves in tina
big race.
There isn't much time to prepare
for the big event, and it is up to the
followers of athletics in Honolulu to
show Hilo that the local deVotees of
sport can go them one better. Hilo
has two teams In training now and
will perhaps have another.
The committee has asked that rep
resentatives of all organizations inter
ested be present at the meeting at the
Pan Pacific club rooms on Monday
evening. The COMMITTEES has number
of plans in view which can be success
fully worked out by the various organ
izations.

TRANSPORTATION Bothers ...t
The matter of transportation is the
bone of contention in the Coast
League today" declares Judge w. w.
McCredie, owner of the Portland Coast
League franchise.
Taking San Francisco as the hub
I. OF the present league, here are figures
on transportation: The round trip per
man from San Francisco to Portland
is $3.50. The round trip between
San Francisco and Salt Lake is an
even $40. The round trip between
San Francisco and Los Angeles is
$3.50. To be exact. it . costs SIS. 10
more pei man in going to Portland
than to Los Angeles, 1880 less to
Portland than to Salt Lake, and 21.40
more to Salt Lake than to Los An
geIes." ". ..--,.l.5 8.
Under the three-league arrangement
the longest Jump any club would have
to make would be the Los Angeles
San Francisco jump of 475 miles, re-
curing Is ga hours. Baseball every
day in the week with four-day stands
as practised in the majors would be
possible
me longest jump in the Northwest
League would be from Portland to
Spokane. 367 miles, and il can be made
overnight. The entire trip around the
circuit would be SS6 miles, or 500 go
per man, just what the one jump from
San Francisco to Portland now costs.
Ine Mountain Leagues longest trip
would be from Salt Lake to Butte, 397
miles, twentyone-hour trip. The
distance around that circuit would be
II6S miles, at cost per man of
sSo.04, less by IS than the Salt Lake
management spends each time it
moves It's club to San Francisco.
