SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3. The
; directors of the Pacific Coast league
I ; met today at the St. Francis hotel and
I walked right through the business be-
' I fore the hons.e like a trained troupe,
' 1 thereby saving a lot of room rent.
' Prior to the big war, it took a
; couple of days and a lot of nights to
get rid of a schedule meeting, but to
a " day it was reeled off. in a fewhours
fft ; and President Al Baum came down
'Q stairs smiling -with all the informa
7t ' tion about the important dates of the
l-A : season.
Ijfij j The season will start April 2 and
jjp i close October 27, using up the usual
'. thirty weeks.
jft! A franchise was voted to Sacra -m
; mento and C. J. Heeseman and Charles
f ' H. Graham of that city were there to
"1 1 receive it. This action did not cause
m a ripple of surprise, for something like
33S that was predicted after the annual
M meeting in Los Angeles a few weeks
aJ ago.
e-$f After having officially kicked Port-
W land out of the league, a . resolution,
or maybe it was a memorial, was read,
m regretting the fact that Judge Mc-
m Credic of Portland was no longer
S among those present.
,J Dispose of Judge.
if After officially disposing of- the
fi judge, it was necessary to elect some
M' one to take his place as vice presi-
' dent President Baum is a mighty big
flf ' guy in this league, for ihey have two
,8 vice presidents ready in case anything
' happens to him.
Etfj F. S Murphy of Salt Lake and Judge
.' Mcfredie had that . honor last year,
but this time C. J. Heeseman of Sacra -
-r mento and J. Cal Ewing of Oakland
- will get round-shouldered trying to
bear up under the weight of that
! honor.
'. i The lads who will have to pungle
h . up the dough to support the clubs this
vear would gladly have talked about
railroad rates, but there was nothing
before the house.
In times past passenger agents hov
ered in the offing and had proposi
tions to make, but now that the gov
ernment has taken control of the rail-1
roads, there is no assurance that thol
ball players will be hauled at any'
price, even as live stock.

Harry Frazee.
Parry frazee, the young president
of the Boston Red Sox, says that
baseball magnates may be pinched a
bit now that the game is not in so
prosperous circumstances as it has
been, but they have no reasonable
kick. "Baseball is a great business,"
says Frazee, "arid I'm honest enough
to say so. Most big league magnates
have made lots of money out of it
and they needn't scream when they
lose a bit. Baseball is growing big
ger and better all the time."

Downing Signs Up Two Fast
Boxers for Headline Event
at Salt Lake Ciub.
SALT LAKE, Jan. 4. Manager
Hardy K. Downing has booked what
he considers another fast bout for his
headliner at the Grand next Monday
night Jimmy Reagan, the Pacific
coast lightweight, who. has just re
turned from the east, will be seen in
action against Willie St. Claire, the
local colored scrapper.
The battling ability of both boys is
well known to the fans and a classy
bout is expected. St. Claire has shown
that ho can mix with the best of the
local contingent, and the fans will no
doubt be glad to hear that he has been
matched "with a man of Reagan's cali
ber. Reagan's last appearance hero oc-'
curred almost two years ago, when he
met Young Gilbert, Sally Salvador and
several other good lightweights. He
then went east and surprised every
one by beating some of the best light
weights back there, including Joe
Welling of Chicago, who was consid
ered a contender for the lightweight
championship at that time. Probably
his most creditable performance oc
curred a year ago when he beat Benny
Leonard, world's . lightweight cham
pion, in a ton -round bout at New York,
and not only stayed the ten rounds,
but gave the boy who is now champion
one of the toughest battles of his ca
reer. Both boys are working hard for this
match as Reagan realizes that he can
not afford to lose to a youngster like
SL Claire, while the colored -boy has
everything to gain and nothing to lose
in a match with Reagan. A win over

this tough trial horse will he a big
boost for him.
Another match that will attract the
attention of the fans will be the semi
windup between Battling Midkiff and
Kid Howe of Fort Douglas. Midkiff
has been beating everything that he
has been sent against at the Grand
and tho fans have been anxious to see
him tanele with the hard-hitting boy
from the fort.
Bobble Munger, the Garfield young
ster who has been going so good late
ly that ho is being touted as a comer,
will gel a hard test this week when
! he meets Kid Davis, the local boy, who
for several years held the feather-
weight championship of the state, and
; who started his return to the game by
winning two bouts at the Gr.-nd dur
ing the past month.
Manager Downing will spring a new
pair of bovs on the fans in the next
bout in Kid Sandy and Young Corbett.
These boys have been boxing in Og
den recentlv and put up such a whirl
wind battle in the preliminary to the
Gilbert-Reagan go that Downing
signed them for his next show. They
are bantamweights and are said to be ,
'regular cyclones in action.
