TIA JUANA TRACK
OPENS in FEBRUARY

Racing will be resumed at the Tia
Juana track in Mexico. just across
the California boundary line. early in
February. James W. Cotfroth, the
promoter. is authority for the an
nouncement that the United States

which closed the track last winter.
Racegoers had been crossing into
Mexico without the necessary pass
ports. and many Germans. in that
way, were able to get out Of this
country. Tia Juana is patronized
strictly by the California racing ele-
ment. 1t was built by Coffroth three
years ago and was enjoying prosperity
up to the time that the gates were

His letter to Johnson follows:
War Department,
''Washington. ID. Il. Dec.

War Department,
Washington, D. c., Dec. q
My Dear Mr.. johnson: 1 have
your letter of November 80 con-
cerning the resumption of baseball
next year, and would advise you
that the War Department under
present conditions sees no reason
why the game should not be re-
sumed in accordance with the usual
regular schedule.
1T Is our policy. to muster out of
the service as rapidly as possible
all the men now in the United
States. who number some 10000,
and We are returning from abroad
for the purpose of discharge a num-
Der of men which Is only limited
by the shipping at our disposal.
Unless there is some change in
the situation which now seems inn
possible there is no reason known
to us why the great national game
should not be continued next year
as usual The wholesome effect of
a clean and honest game like base
ball is very much, and its discon-
tinuance would be a real misfor-
tune.
Sincerely yours.
"P. C. MARCH.
General Chief of staff"
This letter. according to Johnson
dispels all doubt regarding the game
for next season. Plans had been held
in abeyance, as many club owners
were loath to take any action unit
the War Department had finally re-
moved baseball from the position in
which it was placed by war necessi
ties.
I'VE will go right ahead now with
our plans for the schedule" johnson
said. Il am naturally highly elated by
the statement of Gen. March. The
American League club owners will
take up at the meeting in Chicago
December u the plans for the sched-
ule
Il do not favor a joint meeting OF
both leagues. think each league
should meet separately and appoint
committees to meet Jointly for the
final plans. The American League
owners will act at once following the
meeting in Chicago December r."

Tonight's Game
Reading VS.. Galahad.

Reading shut out -A-Thrift
last evening in an Allison Hill con-
test by a score of 5 to 8, in a
pitchers duel between Don" Werts
and Bobby" Clark. Each tosser
allowed three hits: in other respects
Werts had the better of the contest.
Reading played errorless ball, help
ing in the white-wash that was
handed to the losers.
Reading tailed it's first run in
the second inning when George
Levan singled. He stole second, and
was sacrificed to third. He scored
when Shartle tripled. Another pair
of runs came in the third. Putty"
Lynch walked, and was given sec
ond on McCurdy's hit. Both ad-
Vanced a base on a passed ball.
When Hinkle threw low to catch a
runner two runs crossed the plate.
Tim Euker reached first on base
on balls, and eventually got home
station on an error. "BilP' Euker
made the final run in the fifth on
an error, stolen base and fielder's
choice. Hick-A- Thrift never threat
ened the plate as the result of the
clean handling of the ball as we'll as
by Werts' clever tossing. The vic
tory gives Reading two game lead
over Rosewood their nearest rival.
Tonight Reading will tackle Gala

Paul (Muggsy) McGraw, quarter

account of the absence of two lower

tumbled out and once more he was
rejected.
The most remarkable pitching

John Evers, was performed by Dick
Rudolph. Tho Reds were playing in
Boston and Dick shut them out, 3
to 0. He was anxious to go home
for a day or two at that particular
time, and after banking the Reds
he said to Manager Stallings:
If pitch again tomorrow, and
win, will you let me go home for a
day?'
"Stallings replied that he would,
whereupon Dick faced the Cincin-
natti batsmen on the following day
and beat them, / to o. To pitch two
games in one day is quite a feat,
but to pitch two games in two days
is even a greater one. particularly
when both are shutouts." >.
F. M. Troeh, of Vancouver, is the

an average of .9763, having broken
1,O74 targets out of 1,100 sprung
from the traps in front of his gun
Troeh's average is also some forty

sultant poor attendance, and the
operation of the work or fight or
to-day resulted in the formal
closing of the Pacific Coast Interna-
tional League.
A Cincinnati boy, now in training
with the machine gun squad of the
light tank corps at Camp Colt, Get
tysburg, Pa, gives the best of rea-
sons for continuing the national pas
time in its professional aspect. He
says: I'm hoping that they will
not knock out baseball with thois
work or fight order. There is, no
reason why they should. There are
plenty of boys in these camps with
out drawing on a few hundred ball
players.
"The first thing these boys turn
to when they get paper is the sport
page, and then they'll be telling you
how many hits So-and-So got yes
terday, and who pitched for the vari-
Gus teams. Baseball is the one thing
back home that they can all follow"
This is an unanswerable argument
for keeping this sport on a firm
basis during the war"
Benny Kauff, the heavy hitter of
the New York Giants, donned the
Army khaki few days ago at Camp
Sherman. He had to go through
the usual process of innoculation on
his arrival. Coach Ed. Conner, the
division athletic instructor, has of
fered New York's heavy hitter
berth on the camps baseball team,
but he will have to wait until Benny
has spent two weeks in the deten-
ton quarters before he can derive
any benefit from Kaug's proficiency
with the bHt or in the outfield.
When John (Shano) Collins, of
the White Sox was in the Connecti-
cut State League, playing with
Springfield, the Waterbury team had
Harry O'Hagen on first base and Col
Inns vouches for the truth of this
story on Harry. 1t seems that for
more than two seasons O'Hagen had
amazing success trapping runners on
first when the game was unusually
close.
If Waterbury simply had to get
never fail. 1t got to be almost a
superstition among players. The
real reason came out, finally, but
not before O'Hagen had aided his
team on innumerable occasions.
He carried a hat pin, and would
insert it in his glove Then he'd sig
nal and the pitcher would throw the
ball over to him. Harry would Jah
the runner with his glove. The
pin would stick him slightly and he'd

is. The decision of the national COM
mission in the Scott Perry case was
announced in Cincinnati June ~.
Because a minor league was invol-
we'd two additional representatives
sat in judgment. upon the case. The
personnel of the commission consist
ed of Chairman August Hermann,
president of the Cincinnati National
League club; President Tener, of the
National League; B. b. johnson,
president of the American League;
~. H. Farrell, secretary of the Ma
tional Association, and r. H. Raugh,
president of the Southern Associa-
tion.
The evidence submitted, upon
which Hermann, Tener and Farrell
awarded tn eservices of Perry to the
Boston Nationals, while Johnson and
Raugh did not concur, showed, ac-
cording to the commission report:
Perry was sold to the Boston Ma
tionals by the Atlanta Club, of the
Southern Association, under an op-
tional agreement for $4,000. Perry
deserted the Boston club in June,
1917 after the latter organization had
paid $500 of the purchase price.
Boston was assured it's rights to the
player would be protected If Perry
ever returned to organized baseball.
Early in the present season the
pitcher returned to the Atlanta club
and was sold to the Philadelphia
Americans and is playing with that
club.
When the decision of the National
Commission was made public Connie
Mack, manager of the Athletics, OBJ
tanned a court injunction at Cleve-
land on June IT, preventing the Bos-
ton Nationals from interfering with
the activities of Perry until the case
could be argued on it's merits before
the court and final decision given.
