The announcement that there is to be
an increase from si.25 to $50 Will not
only be Of interest 10 baseball players
but 10 followers OF practically every
line Of sport. as 1t is likely that the
advance In baseball prices is only the
FIRST OF many further advances which
will take IN practically all parapher-
MALTA used by all sporting deyotees.
Ammunition for the trap shooter and
hunter has already advanced about 200
per cent. and will go much higher The
next Grand American Handicap will
cost the contestants thousands OF dol
lars more than the 1917 shoot, which
was by far the most costly ever held.
Golf balls have increased in price

IRE SURE IN 1918

Look out for golf and tennis cham
pionships next year.
That's the word which comes from
men close in touch with the national
associations and it may be regarded as
final.
Championships were discontinued for
patriotic reasons. but as the season
wore on In 1917 II was realized that
the matter had been a little too wildly
drawn and that the holding Of cham
pionship matches would not be unpa-
triotlc. even though some Of the best
contestants In both sports would be
unable to compete Oh account Of mill
tary duties.
The first definite action may be ex-
pecled when the Southern Golf Asso-
citation meets within a short time. II is
expected that this association VIII plan
for the 1918 season on an antirwsr ba-
sis. II this Is done il Is quite likely the
other associations viii fan into line.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Eyes Of boxers
which have turned with luscious antlci-

Conroth is not going TO stage any

fact he gave the project consideration
only once and that was more than a
wear ago. Even before the government
stepped in and put stop TO his racing
activities, James had long since ds-
caIded any idea Of putting on some top
notch pugillsts.
In a statement to the United Press
COnroth said:
Il do not intend 20 stage any fight at
Tilauana, desulte the fact that | con-
tlnually read in the papers that I am
going to. However. / do not object to
the onstantily-repeated stories. IL makes
something TO read about"
Time was, when Sunny Jim was the
real promoter Of the west. He staged
some OF the biggest bouts the Pacific
Coast ever has seen. The Willard-Gun-
boat Smith bout which has been a mat
ter Of much dispute was ono OF the
historic battles produced by the vet
