SPORTS

NEW YORK; baseball revolu- tion" was forecast lately by Joe Tinker, president of the Columbus club of the American Association. Tinker told the United Press that the minor leagues will demand equal rights with the majors in all base ball matters, particularly representa- ton on the National commission, or will abrogate the agreement.
 "The National Commission posi- lively must be revised" said Tinker The minor leagues either will ac- cept the proposed one-man commis- sion or will insist that the present body be replaced by a commission consisting of one representative sOl the minors, one from the majors and one man connected with neither. All members would have to be men with no other baseball connections. The National Association of Profes sional baseball players will stand pat on this.

BEAR HUNTING IS GOOD IN WINTER
 FOR YANKEE TROOPS

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES ON DVINA, Via London, Dec. 30. Correspondence of the Associated Press )--Wild turkey, ducks, grouse and big edible jack rabbits have re- iiever during the autumn the mo- notony of bully beef and timed stew in the mess halls of the Amer ican forces fighting the Bolsheviki on the Dwina. The Tanks are op- erating in a famous hunting coun- try and most of them spent their hours of leave in chasing game The few shot guns available were in al 7nost constant use and some of the soldiers developed almost uncanny craftsmanship in bringing down ducks with their service rifles.
 The marshy country is a ducks paradise, and there are thousands upon thousands of quail-like bird called the "rabchik When the winter drives the ducks south there will be bears to hunt in the woods
 One of the billets where Ameri- cans are located at one river town was originally built as a hunting lodge for the late Emperor Nicholas who, however, was imprisoned be- fore he mad chance to use it. Now over the huge fireplace in the kitchen, the logs crackle under stewpots filled with the Americans rifles.

"TROUBLE BUSTER" AT THE COLISEUM THIS EVENING

An entire change of program will be seen at the Coliseum this even ing, including Vivian Martin in "The Trouble Buster" and a Mack Sennett comedy.
 One of the cleverest bits of action in Vivian Martins most recent Para mount picture which is to be shown tonight at the Coliseum is found in her friendship and devotion to "Blackie" the newsboy who befriend- ed her in her hour of need.
 Blackie lost both his eyes in a fight with another newsboy, and, be- ing a very independent young man who had always earned and fought his way in the world, he greatly re- sented being dependent upon charity. Vivian Martin, as Michelna, his friend, resolved to help him and thought of the models he had been used to make out of bits of clay.
 AS he refused to try to work on them, being ashamed of his clumsy groping, Michelna discovered a cer- tain cleverness in her own fingers, and unbeknown to him, she finished several of his models for him and took them to an art exhibitor where they excited much favorable atten. tion.

ROWING TO REVIVE

NEW YORK-There can be no doubt that there will be plenty of in tercollegiate rowing this coming spring if the regetta proposed to be held under the auspices of the Amer ican College Rowing Association takes place as planned.
 It is probably too much to expect Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and Pennsylvania to meet in one race to say nothing of the Naval Acad- emy, but strange things have hap pened within a year or two ill col lege athletics, and it is probable that even stranger things yet will be seen.

 and 3 F FIELD. l: ] T, D........E E4


 To decide who owns the fastest dog in Tompkins County. the Ithica (N. Y) fox hunting Club is holding fox hunt every morning there is a tracking snow. The hunts will continue to the first of February. The Ithaca Fox Hunting Club has 25 active members. Every member has two or more dogs.
 The country about Ithaca is rough and hilly, too rough to ride horse, so the hunters go on foot which, of course, brings snowshoes into use. The red fox is hunted. He rarely ever holes or gets, caught by. the dogs, and will run from early morn ing until dark.
 In connection with these hunts, Lou Smith contributed few remarks about dogs. He has imported dogs from England, has selected dogs from various sections of the United States and has studied them carefully. Lou opines that the English dogs are not as fast as the American dogs and without voice enough to be heard at a great distance; that the. South ern dogs lack courage to run all day in freezing weather, and that the best dogs are the native ones. bred from generations back from the Northern fox dog.

STRANGE SCENES IN WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL

One would like to be in London in these historic days, but Winchester has an interest of it's own. The oth- CT day some thousands of men in strange uniform streamed into the cathedral People thought they were Serbians, but they were really the Czechs. It is not explained how Bohemian soldiers happened to be in England, but as the Czechs are now recognized as a nation it is not so wonderful. After the anthem in the service they sang their National an them in their own tongue. A sec ohd time they came to the cathedral and sang other compositions. They bore banners with the emblem of the chalice on them, and each man had the same emblem on his shoulder straps.
 But even more interesting is what some of your colored troops did al the Cathedral We in Winchester have been living with American sol diers for many months past The Cathedral and other historic places have been visited almost daily One of the most recent visits was by some 700 Colored troopers. accom- panied by band and buglers. When the vergers explained that the cath odral was built on the form of 2 cross, an idea struck the men, who promptly took up the cross lorna tion in. the nave, and in their sub dued Negro voices sang Rock oi Ages" This was followed by "Ths Star Spangled Banner" and the Eng fish National anthem, the men moy ing forward as they sang. with the

bugles leading them. Then seating themselves in the choir, they list ened to an address on the history of the cathedral and city, which was followed by an organ selection by Dr, Prendergast, the organist, who after wards congratulated the men on their singing. The band then played in the North transept, and speech from the American officer in com mand brought this very interesting incident to a close.
