II Is so good Of Ban johnson to an
nounce another thrilling race in the
American League" for 1917 As far
back as memory runneth. Ban has made
this announcement annually. However,
this year he mag be right.
From all accounts. the Red Sox are
going to have strenuous opposition from
Detroit. Chicago and New York, to say
no more. II is possible to pick plenty
OF fans who will bank on any one Of
these three clubs as winners OF the 1917
flag.
One fan in st. Louis has said that
the Browns would come in one-two-
three. So far, though. nobody has
picked on the Griffmen or the Indians
FOR premier 'honors,> and so either may
fool the mob and cop.
II the Mackmen are blessed with
capable pitching. which they sadly
lacked last season. they may tighten
up the race SO badly that a toss OF
coin will decide the ultimate winner.
Perhaps Ban was right. after all.

OLD CHAMPION OUT
IN FRONT IN SHOW
Abbey King NobbIer, After
Three Years Absence, Leads
All AiredaIes..

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Sometimes
they come back" Champion Abbey
King Nobbler not only came back
the second day OF the bench show
Of the Westminster Kennel Club at
the Madison Square Garden yestsr-
day, but may be dubbed the Jess
Willard OF Airedale terriers, as he
was judged the best OF his breed.
Abbey King Nobbler will be six
years old next May. He was Imported
to this country as a puppy, and for
two years carried everything before
him. Alex H. Stewart retired him
three years age and ere long a son,
Young King N6bbler. took his place
in a measure and gave high promise
by winning at the Mineola show last
year.
Others Came Forward.
Others also came forward Of great
bone and wonderful spirit which made
the fanciers forget the one-tfme idol
Among these was Briergate Rex Per-
saltum, which not only won at this
show year ago, but later at Detroit
and Southampton, was declared the
best of any breed or sex in exhibition
against him.
Rex Persaltum was actually un-
placed yesterday ia the remarkable
class which paNsed in review before
the critical eyes OF William L. Barclay
when Abbey King Nobbler returned
to his proud place at the top.
Behind the one-time ruler OF all
Airedales in the open class were
Champion York Reyburn Swell beat
en- only once before up to yesterday;
NJ. s. Baldwin's Normanton Tipit. a
truly great terrier. and Norman Mac
Kenzie's Polam Maxim. the sensa-
tionaI puppy, which was imported to
this country a year ago at a cost OF
$1,000 in the order named.
Many Are UnpIaced.
As said before. Rex PersaItum was
unplaced. as was Young King Mob
bier and other good ones. Terrier fan
ciers did not hesitate to pronounce the
class the feature of the show and the
best ever brought together under one
roof. Airedales. ever popular. are con-
stantly growing in favor. They are
natural fighters. and somehow or other
everybody loves a fighter when the cause
is just.
AbDey Ming NoDbler SHOWS no signs
Of age. Usually at six years the coat
begins to show gray in spots. but his
saddle is still Jet black. which showed
to advantage against the rich tan. He
is not a giant i'm size. and not so big
as Rsyburn Swell and Tipit. but he is
a dog OF remarkable bone and substance,
with what may be called a perfect head
and the much desired gun-barrel front
He stands as straight on his toes as the
most captiouS critic could ask. and al
together is true to type.
In wandering about the huge KEN
mel. for such the Garden is. one was
impressed with feeling that this Aire-
dale will be a leading candidate for the
most coveted of all prizes tomorrow.

all breeds TO pick the best in the show.

LEAPS
INTO HIGH SALARY
Signs Contract. for S12,500,
Compromising With Phil
lies President.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-Grover
Cleveland Alexander. after six years
In the National League. has finally
Jumped into the class of ballplayers
drawing huge salaries. He will begin
this year to draw a salary propor-
tionate' with other great stars OF the
game after having pitched his team
into one pennant and having tried
vaIiantIy in two other seasons.
He signed a contract yesterday
calling for a salary, IL is generally
believed, of SI2.5 500. This is $500
less than the sum he was holding out
for and is $500 more than he was
finally" offered by President Baker
of the Phillies.
Five Draw More.
There, are now five men in baseball
believed to be drawing larger salaries
than Alexander. Two of these, John
J. McGraw and George Stallings, are
managers Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker
and Eddie Collins are the others.
They are admittedly the greatest
players in the game.
Cobb rs reported 10 De uTd"lnB
$4,000 a year, Speaker S17,5OO, and
Collins $4,000. Walter johnson, OF
the Senators, is receiving a salary Of
SI2.5OO.
Comparing the record OF Alexander
with the records of other high sal
aried stars it is reasonable to argue
that Alexander should have received
the raise he has been granted long
ago.
Won Title All Alone.
In 1915 Alexander won thirty-one
games and lost ten. pitching his team
almost unaided into the championship
OF the National League. He missed
duplicating this feat last fall by the
narrOwest Of margins. In fact, he
pitched TWO games in a single day last
fall, winning both of them. He won
the only worlds series game credited
to the Phillies over the Red SOX in
the 1918 conflict.
Alexander will leave here Saturday
for Fitchburg. Mass, together with
Bill kUlefer. where they will both be
the guests OF Pat Moran, manager. ON
short hshinG trip. The famous
mounder will leave for the South
with the team on March e.

Baltimore writers are rushing to the

The Washington times., 1917-02-22

Kid Williams made a failure Of his
six-round bout in Philadelphia with
Eddie O'Keefe. To wise men at the
ringside. the former bantam champion
lacked his old aggressiveness and hit
ting abilities. O'Keefe. a light hitter, had
no trouble reaching Williams jaw.
Therefore it is wise to conclude that
some good hitter is going to send the
Baltimorean into oblivion in the near
future. Who will it be?
Why women take such a keen in
terest In bowling is not apparent to
some. Clearly II Is not a woman's
game any more than any other pas
time where exertion of the arm in
propeling an object is the principal
idea. Yet you will find that some OF
the bowling establishments in this
city have about a third as many
women knocking 'em down as men.

Even Better Mark Expected.

Even Better Mark Expected.
1t is believed that before the season
ends a set OF more than 43O will be
rolled. This is based on the fact that
the new A. C. b. A. game is productive
of scores much above those formerly
made with the other styles of para
phernalia used in this city, and the
performances OF certain bowlers out
side of league competition.
Rolls Az Total.
Several pinspillers have made to
tails above 43O for three games in
practice this season. Wolstenholme
rolled Az in three consecutive strings
at the National Capital during the
Christmas holidays, with a high score
of 1856, and Dan Reiff hit the naples
for more than I35 not long ago at tire
Royal These are two instances.
There may be more which have been
overlooked.
At some time one OF these sensa
performances is bound to crop out in
out in league competition.
