REFUSAL OF SKATER
CALLS OFF CONTEST

ST. Paul, Mimi, Jan 26.-Refusal OF
Oscar Mathisen to skate over recon-
structed course resulted in the calling
off of the races scheduled between him
and Norval Baptie at the Hippodrome
Thursday night. The quarter mile
mile and two-mile events were carded.
According to Tom Eek, who came
here from Chicago to lay out the
course. the track used Tuesday night
was discovered by Baptie after Tues
day nights race to be IL feet too
long
Eek and Baptie yesterday marked
out new course. Mathisen. who
claims to have known nothing of
the action until he arrived at the rink
last night. refused pointblank to go
through with the schedule on the new
track.
Mathisen claimed the course used
Tuesday night was of the same length
az that Of last year, on which he set
one record.
Bobby Mclean Of Chicago and Ma
thisen, who are scheduled to race Sun
day and Tuesday, WILL confer tomor-
row to decide on a track for their
races
Mclean saved the day for the fans
last night by doing some wonderful
fancy skating after the scheduled
events were called off.

tract of the same effect as it has al
ways been"
1t is known that the original inten-
ton of the contract-makers was to so
word the agreement with the players
that if there should be danger Of cur
tailment of the season, the owners
would not be held liable for the en-
tire salary. 1t is expected that eau
tious owners will take advantage of
this, but the majority probably will
not. Charley Deal sent in his signed
contract to the Cubs yesterday. This
called for pay for the entire season.
Deal, in his letter, said he was getting
in trim and that he will be ready for
play as soon as the boys land on the
coast.
Craighead denied that the club con-
templated switching from Pasadena to
some other spot for the spring train
ing. This gained currency during
President Weegham's swing over the
western snow belt. Craighead, how
ever, insisted that he did not know
where the slippery magnate was or for
what point he was headed He did not
take his manager into his confidence.
ut would be practically impossible
to change now" said Craighead, las
we are dated up on the western trip
clear up to April Z. Whether we will
play in Kansas City or not l don't
know. We had our request in early,
but the Sox beat us to it in signing up
for the games"
That the Cubs will play at two or
three military encampments in Cali
fornia and ON their way back from the
coast is practically certain. These
will be at San Diego and Ell Paso and
possibly at Deming, n. NJ

Davenport has lost three Of its best
men, but this did not stop Captain
Mackeever's boys from displaying their
teamwork and ability to shoot baskets.
The first half was very even
throughout. Davenport started the
scoring when Mackeever made bas-
ket of OF an islanders foul. Rock
Island soon came from behind and
made a basket and then Davenport
kept ahead of the Islanders the rest
OF the first half. Captain Taber of the
local crew made most Of the scores for
Rock Island, while Mackeever made
the majority Of the Davenport scores.
The score In the first half stood 10 to
in the Davenport aggregatton's
favor.
Davenport started OF the game with
a great squirt and then the two Is
lander guards checked their basket
shooting for the rest OF the game.
Only two baskets were made In the
second half by the Davenporters while
Rock Island made eight.

ton board to be placed in class 2 for
military service, and is all set to win
80 or more games for Chicago this
wear. This was the information hand
ed out by President Weeghman OF the
north side club to a friend upon bis
return to Chicago yesterday afternoon.
While the friend didn't state how
much of bonus Weeghman was COM
PEELED to hand over to Aleck, it was
limited that $1,000 was the probable
amount. The affair was settled when
Weeghman was in Omaha confering
with Alexander on Wednesday. Upon
being satisfied in monetary way,
Aleck departed for his home in st.
Paul, Neb., to take the matter of being
placed in a deferred class for army
service. Recently his home town
board placed him in class /, although
Aleck stated he was supporting his
mother and aiding in the support of a
married brother.
Fits Out Of View Again.
After reaching home President
Weeghman DISAPPEARED almost as
mysteriously as when he left the city
Tuesday without letting any one know.
He could not be found last night to
give all the details of the agreement
with his star pitcher or to explain his
reason for going to Kansas City after
an apparently unsuccessful interview
with Aleck. The reports from Omaha
stated Weeghman had refused to give
the bonus and that Aleck had left for
his home, yowing he would not play
with the Cubs unless he got at least
$4,000 0 fthe money paid for him to
the Philadelphia club.
Weeghman was supposed to have
gone on to Kansas City to untangle
a complication in spring exhibition
games with the Blues, but nothing
could be learned regarding that Ac-
cording to the report, he arrived in
Chicago early Yesterday afternoon and
to one of his friends related his sue
cess in getting Alexander satisfied.

Williams, national tennis champion,
now a lieutenant in the field artillery
in France. has become godfather" to
little mongrel dog that answers to
the name Of Toto" Williams writes
that Toto is the mascot that is going
to see him safe through the war. He
will bring him back to America with
him when he returns.
The interesting little story involved
in the acquisition of Toto is told by
Williams in letter just received by
his mother, Mrs. c. G. Williams of
Newton. This portion of the letter
follows:
Out on the range a small dog wan
dered round and finally came to us. l
have decided to name him Toto-all
good French dogs seem to have that
name-and he answered at once when
l applied 1t. He is little, long
haired, black mongrel rascal, but he's
intelligent. and certainly is getting
fond of me.
After breakfast he jumps on the
truck to go with us, but once we be-
gin firing he wanders away to hunt
for himself. The moment the truck
leaves he reappears from somewhere
and keeps dutifully with US the re-
mainder OF the day"

MAJOR BALL PLAYERS ARE SIGNING MANY
"FLAWLESS" CONTRACTS THIS YEAR AND
WHICH HAVE WORD SEASON" ABSENT

Chicago, jan 26.-Ball players in
the major leagues are signing a new
"flawless" contract this year, one in
which the word season" is eliminat-
ed. An announcement yesterday by
President Hickey Of the Cardinals said
his own men would be expected to
sign a document which called for pay
for the duration of the schedule only.
The statement caused considerable
agitation at the Mound City, as it was
interpreted to mean that the mag
mates were fearful about not playing
out the 154 games which make up the,
schedule.
That something Of the sort may be
in the mind of the owners is possible,
But Business Manager Craighead of
the Cubs put different Interpretation
on the wording. He explained that in
the new agreement between owners
and players the word season" has
been eliminated and anything the own
er wishes might be inserted-"month,"
day" year" or season" That is en-
tirely up to the party Of the first part.
From the wording Of the contract
many might think that we were not
certain Of finishing out the season."
said Craighead, but nothing of the
kind is meant. The place was left
blank in order to simplify the employ
ment Of players, such as semipros and
others, who have only a fair chance
Of continuing as regular members of
the teams. Thus we can put into the
contract month instead of year, but
SO far as 1t concerns our own club the
word year will be employed. The ten
day clause, however, makes the con-
