For Chicago Cubs

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-The transporta-
ton of a major league ball club, with
all of its accoutrement, from the Mid
die West to the Pacific Coast this
spring will be under far more difficult
conditions than in former years, Off
cials of the Chicago National League
Club learned to-day.
A year ago the Chicago club made
the journey to the Coast in special
train Of eight cars. including a diner,
a buffet and an observation car The
party consisted Of more than seventy
five persons, and stops were made at
two points, from which side trips were
taken.
This year the club management has
been notified that when the party is
ready to depart for California there
will be at its service two sleeping cars
and an observation car attacked to a
mail train, with no dining car service
over one road or sleeping car space for
the party over another and longer route
which would have dining car service.

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 23.-Defnite an
nouncement was made yesterday of
the dates in which Morris Wood, in
door ice skating champion Of the
world. will defend his title against
Bobbie Mclean at the Winter Garden.
Pittsburg. Inasmuch as there will be
several races, as insisted upon by
Wood, the management decided to
utilize two nights, they being Wednes-
day and Thursday Of this week. Nc
Lean has formally accepted and Wood
has already posted his forfeit money
-$500-with Manager Harry ]. Hay

The races will be from a mile down
Wood was willing to risk his honors
on single event. but Mclean would
not listen to this. The challenger re-
Gently broke the worlds record for
the half mile at Saranac Lake, and
while he is exceptionally speedy even up
to the mile he does better at the dash
distances. He was willing to make
the half-mile the deciding factor. but
Wood would not agree; hence the
series of races.
WI. Bratton, Of Pittsburgh, is look
ing after Woods interests. He said
last night that McT.ean's demand for

Ben Hi Top Money Winner
Among PAGERS Last Season

that he was up to it, until at Hartford,
after he had won two heats, Murphy
took him into camp with Butt Hale
At Syracuse Ben Ali was way off, being
outside of the money and distanced in
the event won by Little Frank d. So
when they reached Columbus nobody
cared much for the Southern bred
geldlng, but he tripped the wise men
by winning handily. His last appear
ance at Lexington was a defeat, al
though he won heat, Little Batice

Ben Ali in Fast Company
Ben Ali came from the South, having
been bred by w. T. Braswell, at Whit
taker, N. c., and being by Wealth, 2:10,
out of Nelly BLY,. by Ulmar-substan-
tial but not fashionable blood lines.
He is owned by the Newbrook Stable,
Of Newark, n. j., and his racing has
been under the guidance of C. Z. Pit
man, one OF the best Of the Eastern
drivers.
This year Ben Ali probably will fig
ure in the free-for-all events, and with
any improvement he should be factor
although the clip will be mighty glib
Miss Harris NJ, 200 that~is to be sold
at the New York auction this week, is
the star of the lot, and if she falls into
good hands it will take a whale of a
PAGER to beat her TO the money.
Others that will figure in the open
class are Butt Hale, 2:02A, that should
be a hard nut to crack after the fine
work he has done for Murphy; The
Savoy, that proved a good meal ticket
for Cox and was second among the
money-winning PAGERS; Peter Nash
POI z, that flashed from the West, but
was snulfed out later, and a horde OF
others.
Stakes or early closing instalment
purses Of from $4,000 to $4,000 are for
the 2:06 PAGERS, as rule, which drives
all with marks of 2:05 or better into
faster classes~or or the free-for-all. There
are no fewer than eighteen of these fast
things, to say nothing of Directum ],
and William, so there should be plenty
OF sport-the free for-all pace always
being headliner at race meeting.
1t is not likely there will be re-
newal of the Chamber of Commerce
Stake this year, but there will be
plenty of events in the class at other
stops, so there is considerable interest
in the material at hand. About eleven
of them stand out, these having at
tanned records Of 2:05l4 and there are
dozens with marks between that and
2:oS that may be regarded as pros
poets for the 2:o6 class.
Cox is pretty we'll hooked up fe1

Chance and Little Batice, the last
named having won 5000 and the othe,

Skating Notes
BY Fred Hawthorne

1--WE should worry if the Governor
kills Marty McCue's new boxing bill, !"
SAID Marie, the courtroom queen at the
st. Nicholas Rink, after the furious
hockey game between the Wanderers
and the Charlcstown Navy Yard team
last Monday night. I've seen more
black eyes and punched noses out there
on the ice tonight than you boxing
fans see in a whole year Of ring fight
ing"
There is much truth in what Marie
said on that occasion. Seldom has
more faction" been seen in hockey
game than when the Wanderers and
the navy lads crossed sticks While
stances in which the players should
have been severely penalized for in
fractions of the rules, every hockey
follower knows that a good game on
the ice is bound to be rough.
It's in the nature of the sport, and
there was probably not single spec
tator who saw last weeks game who
yll not be willing to say that it was
the best game he or she had seen in a
good year or more.
But if that was fast game, the two
scheduled to be played at the Sixty
sixth Street rink to-morrow and
Wednesday nights ought to be like
CREASED lightning. The Wanderers on
this occasion will face the undefeated
seven of the Pittsburgh A. A.
The local team has not yet been de-
fcated at the st. Nicholas Rink. and
although the Pirates Of the ice have
long had the reputation Of being the
greatest team seen in years, either in
this country or Canada, the Wanderers
believe that the smaller skating sur
face in SiXty-sixth Street will be a
disadvantage to the Pittsburgh crowd
In Larry and Joe Mccormick. r. w.
Drury and Madden the visiting team is
said to possess the fastest forward line
ever teamed up. These men pass the
puck like bullet. and their combina-
ton play is we'll nigh perfection. John
Va. McGrath, Of the international Skat-
isg Union, will referee the matches.
which means that the refereeing will
be well done and often.
"Red" Small. the Fred Stone of the
ice, is secretly coaching Ike Kaplan,
the demon champion 'rassler of the
Hard Boiled Eggs, in the art Of doing
trick falls on the ice at the st. Nicho-
las Rink. Ike is entered in the Egg
skating race to be run at the rink next
month, and for several weeks has been
training on the siXteen-inch blades
Appreciating the quality Of .he com
petition he will be up against, Kaplan
decided it would be only right to his
family to get skilled in the best man
ner Of falling. Ike expects to have
quite busy time on the ice the night
Of the race.

Kalamazoo Adopts Radical
Three Heat System
Other Harness Gossip
By Frank S. Cooke

When the rather strenuous season of
1917 was at an end first figures gave
top place among the money-winning
PAGERS to The Savoy, that had been
driven in his engagements by the re-
sourceful Cox. But the trial balance
between this unsexed black and the
chestnut gelding Ben Ali was in favor
of the last named, which garnered s10,-
$40 in his trip along the big line and
an excursion to Goshen.
Ben Ali came into the circuit sur
prise and left off just the same. Beat
en- in his first start, he won the next
five out, lost a couple next. and then
when they said he was done, he came
through and equalled his record at Co.
lumbus.
The 2:06 class looked pretty good in
early 1917, half dozen Of the stake
entrants appearing to have a chance
but few paid very much attention to
the gelding with the Oriental name
Ben Ali had gone through fine cam
paign in 1915, when he won eight starts
on the half-miic tracks, losing none, and
acquiring a record of 2:09H.
In his Grand Circuit debut at the
North Randall track Ben Ali could not
take better than third money, first go
ing to the fleet Colonel Armstrong, that
will be a favorite in the division this
year if his legs stand training.
Ben Ali Comes Into Own
I Next week came the Chamber OF
Commerce Stake, at Detroit, the pacing
! Derby, SO to speak, and it was here
that Ben Ali cornered the rays of the
spotlight when he won in six hard
heats. Adioo Guy had scampered of
with the first one, aud The Savoy the
next. Then Ben Ali stepped the oval
in 2:03A and, while it appeared to be
all over The Savoy came back and beat
him in the fourth. However, Ben Ali
displayed superlative staying qualities
winning the fifth and sixth and lower.
ing his record to 2:03i4.
1t was easier work at Kalamazoo ant
Columbus; then he ran out and bobbed
up at Goshen. where he won in 2:06ls
which was his fastest time whe;
viewed on the basis of the four seconds
diffarcntial between mile and half-milt
track records.
Back to the Grand Circuit, he headed
his field at Philadelphia and appearee
to be one Of the unbeaten sort. nov
