TRACK SCHEDULE FOR
 SOUTHERN CAL. IS BAD

LOS ANGELES, jan 25.-The track schedule of the University of Southern California will be slim and aside from Charles Paddock, famous sprinter, it's chances for developing championship timber are not of the brightest, according to Los Angeles sport writers.
 Gwynn Wilson, graduate manager, has arranged for meets here March Is with the University of California and March 9 with Stanford Uni versity. The Trojans will meet Stan ford at Palo Alto April 13 and Cali fOrnia at Berkeley April h.
 A dual meet with Occidental sCol- lege, a member of the Southern California conference, is under con sideration, but aside from the meets with Stanford and California no oth- CTS are planned with members of the Pacific Coast Conference. On ac- count of the cost there is little like lihood the Los Angeles institution will meet the northwest members of the Coast conference except in the conference meet at Seattle at the end of the season.

PINS LEADING CHARMED LIFE
 THESE NIGHTS
Nearly All Elk Bowlers in Slump-First Nationals
 Win Again.

Tho Ink Singers and the First Nationals indulged in a friendly contest on the Elks Clob alleys last night to determine which team could roll down the lower score. As result the bankers escutcheon is still untarnished by defeat. The score was 1885 to l30O It was a poor exhibition Of the great pin game, the only bright spot being the four straight strikes knocked down by John Reck, ace of the money-changers aggregation. This youngster is coming along fast and was high man on his team last night with a score of 166.
 The other matches of the even ing were equally devoid of sensa- tiOns. In the second contest Gold stein's Emporium won from the Me chanics 1427 to 1412. Ed. Beaudin with high score of 1S1 and high average of 512 was the hero of this engagement.
 Unable to shake themselves out of their recent slump, the Bremen fell easy victims to the Mavericks in the last match, 145I to 1342.
 The next games of the tourna- ment will be rolled Friday night

MONSTER SH|LLALAH IS
 RESPONSIBLE FOR HITS SAYS ONE GOOD BATTER

SEATTLE, Jan. 25.-One of the reasons for the heavy hitting in the majors this year is the use of long, heavy bats.
 So says Jack Fournier, the slugging first baseman of the St. Louis Ma tionals, who is visiting in Seattle.
 You ought to see the bats they have nowadays in the majors" said Jack, land it is no wonder that there is some slugging going on. Every body either is or imagines he is d slugger and for the past two years the batters have been taking their cuts.
 Maybe the lively ball started them going, but the pill used in the Ma tional League was not lively last fall. The batters. having been used to swinging all season, merely walked right at the bail and whaled away at it. When they hit it, the infield CTS tucked
 tIt was as much as taking your life in your hands in our league last year Whenever a slugger like George Kelly, Irish Meusel, Ed Rousch or Frank Frisch came up to the bat, you'd notice the players sneaking a glance at the bench to see if the manager was wanting them to play back. They used to come by us like bullets. It was nice when you were at the plate but decidedly uncomfortable when you were in the infield. The pitchers used to say a prayer before every game, they be irg in a little closer to the heavy artillery than the rest of us.
 Used Fungo-Shaped Bat
 "The style of bat has changed measurably since I was with the White Sox several years ago. Tn those days We used a long. light, slender stick and took a nice slap at the ball. Some of us would choke the bat and try to push or pull the ball. Others would take their swings, but, having a little stick, got nowhere near the power. Today you rarely see a hitter in the National League who chokes up. and I dare say the same is true in the American League.
 "The model bats; that is, those made to the order of some player, usually light and upon which his autograph is prominently displayed,
