BAN IS OPTIMISTIC
American League President Be.
Iieves Season viii Be Good.
Head Of Junior Major League Takes
More Rosy View ao a Result Of
Winter Deveiopments--Abun.
dance Of Players.

President Ban johnson of the Amer
be optimistic over the baseball out
look at the close of the 1917 season,
has been encouraged to take more
rosy view as the result of the winters
developments.
"Interest has been maintained all
winter by the numerous exchanges Of
players in both leagues and begin
to feel optimistic as to the future"
said Mr.. Johnson. "Therc will be an
abundance of playing talent and in
spite of the army draft and navy en-
listments, which have deprived the
leagues of some splendid ball players,
there will he others to fill their places.
"Colonel RUPERT made an excellent
move when he engaged Miller Higgins
to manage the Yankees. Higgins Is a
smart baseball man and in due time
I feel confident he will obtain sue
cessful rcsil-s. OF course. he must
have time TO size up the players who
will report to him. You must remem-
Der that he Is entirely new In the
American league and has many things
to learn. But you can't take away
from him his complete knowledge Of
the inside workings Of baseball. Go
ed Barrow, I am sure, will prove
just the sort of man the Red Sox need
to get the results of which that great
team of players Frazee has gathered
Is capable and right here I want to
say that after talking with Connie
Mack am inclined to believe the Ath-
letics are not so badly Off as some
of their critics have made II appear.
"Fielder Jones, with the changes
made in his Browns. and with little
more luck, should prove what we all
believe him to have, the talents Of
successful leader. Cleveland has
been hard hit, but Jim Dunn Is gamely
rebuilding.
Altogether our league seems In
good shape. and as l say, am much
more cheerful about the outlook for
good season now than I was two
months ago. 1t did really look bad
to me then"

ATHLETICS ON COAST
Fans Hope for Continuation Of
All Lines During War.
intercollegiate Rowing Considered
Dead letter--Younester Given to
Forge Ahead In Tennis-Golf
Not Much Hurt.

Speculation continues to he the prin-
cipal activity among followers of all
lines of sports us to what will be the
outcome during the coming year in
the far western states.
Colleges, schools and clubs are prac-
tically agreed that all branches Of
sport should be continued on us broad
of the war.
At the moment 1t would appear that
so far as intercollegiate rowing Is con-
cerned on the Pacific coast, II will be
considered as dead letter. With the
determination of the University of Cal
ifornia and Stanford university not to
put crews on the water this spring,
varsity competition will be robbed Of
much interest. On the other hand,
rowing clubs doubtless will continue to
hold their various regattas.
Baseball will be continued rs nearly
as possible along pre-war lines al.
though 1t Is believed by many that the
quality of games offered may suffer
because of the absence of many stars
through volunteering and the draft.
officials, both of the Pacific Coast
league and the newly named Pacific
Coast Intercollegiate league, formerly
the Northwestern league, appear opti-
mistic In this respect however.
Practically all of the California ten
mis- stars, WHO are nationally known
already are enrolled in the service Of
the country. This It Is contcnded, will
afford an unusual opportunity for the
youngsters to forge into limellght and
become known.
Golf, with its larger proportion OF
men above the draft age, seems to be
less affected by the war than most Of
the other branches of sport.
That yachting will continue to hold
the interest Of its devOtees, Is best ut.
tested by the fact that reports from
various parts of the country indicate
that many new craft, both sail and
motor, are being, or will be built for
the coming season. This nOtwithstand.
ing the fact that many of the younger
amateur stars are working with the
various mosquito and reserve fleets
of the United States.
There appears to be no question as
to the future OF trap shooting. viii
the encouragement of shooting bcgot
ten of the war, this sport enjoyed ar
excellent year during 1917, and the
consensus Of opinion appears to b'
that this condition of affairs will bt
repeated during 1913.
Track and field teams, like last sea
sons football teams, will be among the
heaviest sufferers as far as candidates
are concerned, and while competition
Is expected to be keen, repetition OF
last year Is looked for In the deartf
of notable performances in the matter
| of record breaking.

All that stands between Billy Mlske,
the st. Paul bar Ter who plucked big
wads of preslil from the classic
brow of Fred + ltOn recently, and Il
bout with jess willard, despite the
divergence in size between them, Is
Miske's lack of Knockout punch.
1t Is not eXags Grating to state that
the st. Paul mnUler stands head and
shoulders over every light heavyweight
campaigning today, and that he OK"
cells every heavy weight except Fulton
and Willard. Had Miske possessed
something akin 10 Il knockout wallop
when he met Fulton he might have
made the Dorchester Giants" ellmina'
ton as n contender for the worlds
title complete. Miske hit the big fel.
low repeatedly. He stung him often,
as he has stung Jack Dillon, Bob
Mocha, Carl Morris and others. But
the old sleep producing wallOp wasn't
there.
