III in 1916.
Figures show that from 1911
the National league home run rec
ord fell from seven men breaking
into the class of those making 10
or more year to two in 1917
and the total home runs made by
these men fell from SO to "a.
In the same league the total
number Of home runs during the
season fell from 314 in 1911 to
202 in 1917, loss of liz homers.
In these years Cravath broke
into the ten home run class five
time, Luderus four, Safer, Magee
and Wilson each three, Doyle,
Schultz, Williams, Merkle ard
Robertson each two, and Becker,
Houser, Zimmerman and Hoblit-
eel each one. Schultz made ten
homers in 1910.
Only two have been to go above
20 home runs in season, Cravath,
with the master mark of "a in
1915, and Schultz with 81 in 1911.
The figures show that something
has happened to the home run hit
tiers. Just what 1t is will give
the fans q chance for many an
argument in the hot stove league
this winter.

Chef Mcintyre and Frank

Doug's Play
Here at Last

"a Modern Musketeer," the
Douglas Fairbanks feature which
was delayed in transit from New

This picture abounds with typ

The feat of climbing out of the
Grand Canyon of the Arizona with
Marjorie Daw upon his back is
only one of the many stunts per-
formed by the smiling, athletic
star.
AS the heroine Marjorie Daw
proves lovable little lady, and
Tully Marshall and Frank Cam

murdered. Two murders occur in
this mysterious way. The spirit
ualist's pretty daughter, (kath-

peeve at the Northwestern

the circuit this year. Wheth-
er Great Falls will stay re-
mains to be seen. President
Davey of the Miners will at
tend the directors meeting in
Seattle soon, he has notified
President Blewett. Both
cities were so sore about the
early closing Of the 1917 sea-
son that they swore they
would never return to the
league again.
One thing Is certain about

the league this year, someone

Neither of the Tacoma boxers
knows yet whom he will be match
ed with because the champions OF
Camp Funston haven't been an
nounced. Steele, who has been in
the gymnasium and boxing instruc-
ton game here for some time, has
been coaching Anderson, and has
sent the big fellow against every

with huge success.
In a letter received from Paul
today, the Tacoma scrapper pre-
diets that Anderson will not only
defeat Chef Mcintyre easily when
he returns home, but will open the
eyes of Pacific coast fans. He is
already far above the class of Joe
Bonds, Frank Farmer and other
Northwestern boxers, Paul says.

ADJUSTMENTS

Undoubtedly the greatest mys-
terry drama of modern time, The
18th Chair" from the pen of that
famous dramatist, Bayard WELLER,
thrilled a crowded house at the
Tacoma theater for nearly three
fast hours. The hours fled
speedily because the action Of the
play is so breathless that a spec
tator scarcely notices the transit
ton of time while the story is
being unfolded.
Fake occultism forms the
groundwork for the play. A group
of persons form a "circle" about
Madame La Grange, a spiritual
list. The lights suddenly flicker,

What has become of the home

Major league records for 1917
snow that but two batters were
able to collect more than 10 cir

records also show that the Amer;-

column, the leading home run
drivers being Cactus Cravath and
Dave Robertson, each of whom
garnered IL. Wally Pipp, the
leading home run hitter of the
