LIBKE TO
BECOME A
COASTER?

If Fred Libke, star semi-pro
southpaw twirler, has the goods in
him for professional pitching, he
will have a chance to show it this
spring.
In a letter to his brother, AL
Libke, the tall pitcher today de-
clared that he was certain of start
ing with the Spokane Northwest
ern league club, and that he might
get chance with the Portland
Coast leaguers.
Libke went to Oregon the latter
part of the 1916 season and
pitched In league operated there
by the Mercedes for the purpose
of developing possible latent stars.
Libke showed the same classy
stride that marked his perform
ance in the semi-pro class of Ia
Coma.
Through the working agree
ment between Portland and Spo-
kane, Libke has been farmed out
to the Indians for the early part
of the season. If he makes good,
he will hop right into the Coast
league.

Chicago Five
Bowls 1858 In
Three Games

A new worlds bowling record
has been hung up in Chicago
where a five-man team, known as
the Vermonts, piled up total of
3,45S pins, an average of gao 8-15
per man.
Another record was shattered
in the last game when 1890 pins
were collected.
High score was rolled by
white" Johnson who rolled 299
in the last game and averaged
271 2-3 for the three games. Only
three games were rolled under

of the team were: Frank Marnell,
235 1-3; John Argenbright,
202 1-3; Joe Wolf, 2O7, and John
Miller, 236.
The men did not use dodo balls
In making their scores.
The largest three game score
ever rolled in an A. B. G. tourna-
ment was 5000 rolled by the Flor
de Knispel team of st. Paul at
Toledo in 1913.

Weller had a broking line at the
time and his offices in Chicago
were across the street from those
of John w. Gates, on LaSalle St.
John w. Drake, the millionaire
racing man, Gates and Weller
were in Gates office on afternoon
discussing the Derby probabilities.
Drake held that Savable would
win and asked Weller what odds
he'd give against $1,000. Weller
offered $4,000. Then Weller
took another bet laying $12,500
against $1,000.
Finally Drake remarked:
I'll make you one bet of $780,
600 if you'll call off those other
two"
This was in the winter before
