COW PONIES PROVE
GOOD POLO MOUNTS
Western Breed Makes Good in
Tryouts at Del Monte
Thoroughbred Ancestors and
Ranch Training Count.

Golf, tennis and polo are strong
cards at Del Monte, CALIFORNIA; win .
ter sports center, and not the least of
these is polo. Latest advices from the
resort are to the effect that the play
ers are intent on substituting western
COW ponies for the conventional breed
of polo ponies in their matches this
winter.
Hugh Drury, a we'll known veteran
at the game, was among the first to
recognize the merits of the COW pony
in the game. He visited the southern
ranchoes and secured string of six
of the smart little animals and gave
them tryout.
The manner in which the ponies fell
into the game was gratifying. They
have been trained to turn and wheel
and stop at the least pressure of the
rein by the cowboys who schooled
them. Major Max Fleischman, we'll
known poloist. is another advocate of
the COW pony He has already pur-
chased several of them and when the
| season is i'm full swing will have a com
plete stable.
Many of the COW ponies are blooded
animals. In the early days of Califor-
mia racing, many OF the thoroughbreds
from the tracks drifted to the ranches,
SO it is only natural that the COW pom
les can trace their ancestors back to
the horses that sported the silks. This
accounts for their almost marvellous
speed.

LEAGUE MACNATES.

Resumption of Draft Relation
With Majors and Extension
of 1920 Season to 28 Weeks
Under Discussion.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 5.-The di-
rectors of the Pacific Coast league
met here today in annual session. After
witnessing the old game of baseball
come back with a tremendous rebound
during the 1919 season, the coast mag
mates gathered here with decidedly OPP
timistic plans for the future.
The return of Portland and Seattle
to the league helped to revive interest
in the sport along the Pacific.
Whether the Coast league shall re-
turn to the old draft system with the
majors is one of the most important
matters which are to be decided by
the directors Next in Importance is
the 1920 schedule and the length of the
season. The indications are the peri

Fred Merkle.

the most unfortunate man in the game.

Cubs before the 1921 season began. II
not the tinware. Fred was at least to
get bench ticket.
But faint so.
Mitchell has set said rumors at rest
by announcing emphatically that Mer-
kle viii be playing first base for the
Cubs when the next bell rings.
Fred had a good year last season
despite the fact that he seemed a bit
slower than he was a few seasons ago.
He accepted more fielding chances
than any other first baseman in the
circuit and made total of only %
misplays in 1872 games. Holke of the
Braves, his nearest rival in activity,
had 20 fewer chances.
Merkle began his professional car
eer with Newark. o., in the old Q. and
L. league in 1906. He went to Tecum-
sch in the South Michigan league be-
fore the season ended and in the middle
OF the 1907 season was purchased by
the New York Giants for $3.50 He
proved to be one OF the most consistent
and steady players in the big show.

C0CHRANE, IN THE UNITED STATES, SAYS HE'LL OFFER
DEMPSEY 100000 PURSE

New York, Jan. 5.--CharlIs B. Coch-
rane, England's premier boxing promo
ter, now in the U. S. to see Jack Demp-
sey, is prepared % offer purse of
100000 to be split as the fighters may
decide Whether he will go any higher
he will not say, as he does not care to
tip his hand to rival promoters at this
time. He intimates that the purse
probably would be cut 60 per cent to
the winner and 40 per cent to the loser,
which is the usual procedure in Eng
land.
Cochranc is wealthy man, able to
put up the full amount of any purse
that he may offer. He is the owner
of several theaters and other amuse-
ment enterprises in England besides
being the leading boxing promoter of
the country.
Cochrane declares that it is a fact
that he has Carpenters signature to
a contract calling for the noted
Frenchman to box for him at any time
within year and half. He explains
that this document gives him complete
control over the E'renchman's IZatch-
making and that without his consent il
will be impossible for Carpenter to
box for any other promoter.
The promoter is enthusiastic over
the match. declaring that it will be by
far the biggest thing ever staged in
the history of the ring. He says that
boxing is thriving in England as never
before and that the followers of the
sport would be willing to pay almost
any price to see the big battle.
Carpenter is an idol of England as
we'll as in France. according to Coch
rane. English sporting men harbor no
resentment because of the way the
F'renchman has humbled their boxing
champions. Bombardier Wells and Joe
Beckett, both of whom he has knocked
out in the first round.
Carpenter will be backed to the
limit if the fight is held in England
