PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 10. Bill tm- Rodgers, newly appointed manager of the Sacramento club, has been forced ;- to change his plans. Following a re J quest from Charlie Graham to come r' jsouth as soon as possible to confer on 'getting a complete team, Bill is scurry ling around closing up his business ! 'ideals and is planning to go south Sun j 'day night. He had intended scouting in the northwest for some little time : 'beforo going to Sacramento. The former Portland captain is al ready beginning to get busy. Ho col llared Denny Wilie today. Denny, as ! Salt Lake fans know, is one of the best outfielders in the league, but his "crabbing" hurts his ability as a player. Truck Hannah, Please Write. Bill got hold of him and said: "Now, Denny, we are going to make the big !H fight down there, but I want you to II Dundee Clothes are !

"Yours very truly, "GEO. A. KELLER. 0 "Mgr. Terry Keller." This appears to be one more first class show that Ogden's youthful pro moter will offer to tho Utah fans. As both of those boys are considered very good in their class. let me do all the fighting. You hurt your team when you are out there with a chip on your shoulder, as well as yourself. I want you to promise me that you will play baseball next spring and leave that grouch at home." Denny promised that ho would, and will probably remember it until the start of the season. Rodgers also took the time to un limber a typewriter and. fire Graham a long letter on tho relative virtues of the other Portland ball players the club purchased from Portland. Cubs May Use Hollocher. Judge McCredie today received a wire from Charlie Wecghman of the Chicago Nationals, asking him what salary he paid Hollocher last year. It seems evident that Weeghman, finding that he can't get Hornsby, is paying more attention to the young shortstop whom ho purchased last fall. He also received tho resolutions drawn up by Coast league directors at their recent schedule meeting. The Portland owner didn't say much when he opened it, but it seemed like mur dering a man and then heaping flow ers on his grave.

A Belgian orphan girl 6 years of age, whose par ents were killed in the German drive over Belgium, and is in France with other little refugees, has been adopted by H. W. Lane, president of the Salt Lako Baseball club. The adoption of the little girl by Mr. Lane was brought about by the Life Orphan Refugee movement. In order to caro for the little girl, Mr. Lane forwarded ?36 for her support for tho immediate period, and from time to time ho will send her addi tional money.

SALT LAKE, Jan. 1. That the bas kotball schedulo adopted by the high schools of the Salt Lako division is en tirely too strenuous and involves too great an outlay of time for the teams is the stand taken by Principal George A. Eaton of tho East High school. As the array of games now stands each team is to play twice a week and in some cases three times. With trips to Bingham and Murray, games In tho city, and daily practice, he de clares It Ib difficult to see just when the boys are to attend to their stud ies. Eleven games in four weeks Is believed lo be too great a Btraln on boys not fully matured, especially after a hard season of football. Principal Eaton makes it plain that the East Side does not wish to draw away from the other schools of tho division, but that he would liko to seo the schedule rearranged so as to in clude only one game a week for each team. The sentiment of tho principals arri cmc5?i of the Salt Lako division seems to be In favor of a revision of the plan. , Heinle Richardson of the West High, "Rynlo" Rynearson of the L. D. S., to gether with Sam Baird at Granite, have expressed themselves as willing BALL PLAYER NOW LAUNDERS IN ARMY. pf ) "r Catcher Clemens. After several years of varied ex perience in tho minors, the Federal league and with the Chicago Cubs, Catcher Clemens is now handling tho business end of the laundry at tho Great Lakes naval training station. After making a good showing with tho Cubs, Clemens left baseball at the close of tho 1916 season to prac tice law. Hs enlisted in the navy last September, to cut down, the number of games. Principal Eaton will attempt to obtain the support of the rest of the schools, and it is expected that a meeting will be called immediately to discuss tho advisability of making over the list of contests. I It seems certain that under the pres ent schedulo It would be impossible for ' a Salt Lake division team to take tho I state championship. No rest would be allowed because of the ruling that a team must play every game to be elig ible for the championship. The play ers who came through on tho winning team would hardly be in condition to enter a fast tournament against teams that had played less than half tho number of games. I "Staf fy" Mclnnis Is 'Last of Mackmen; Goes to BosS oa Red Sx PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 10. John "Stuffy" Mclnnls, first baseman and tho last of Connie Mack's famous world's champions, goes to the Boston Americans in a straight trade for players. The names of the players and how many will como to Philadelphia in the trade was not announced. Word that Mclnnis was to go to the Red Sox was received herp tonight in a telegram from Connie Mack, who is at Jacksonville, Fla., arranging for tho spring training trip. No ono in author ity at club headquarters here has any information as to the details of tho trade. It was said that Mack will pick tho players ho wants later and that the number will depend upon tho men he selects. Mclnnls has been a star on the Ath letics team almost from the day he arrived in 1909. Ho was 27 years old last September. Prior to coming to the Philadelphia Americans ho played with the Now Bedford, and Haverhill teams. In his first year with the team he batted .239 and in every succeeding season with the exception of 1916. when his average was .295, he hit for more than .300. MINISTERS TAKE RAP AT K. C. ATTORNEYS KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 10. Mayor Gcorgo H.' Edwards today received a telegram from the chief of staff at Camp Funston asking him whether or not he desired that the boxing and wrestling tournament, arranged for January 25 and 26 between Camp Funston and Camp Dodgo be held here. Tho ministerial alliance has protest ed against tho tournament, saying that local promoters wero to got one -third of tho proceeds and that a boxing .ex hibition with an admission charge would be a violation of tho law. "If the law permits a boxing exhi bition I am heartily in favor of It," Mayor Edwards said. Tho mayor is seeking information on the legal phase of tho matter. ALFRED DE ORO WINS FIRST TITLE MATCH HflLVANA, Jan. 10.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. Managor Hugglns was today offered a sugges tion from a major leaguer which seems to open the way for him to so suro Del Pratt for tho Yankees. To got Pratt from tho St. Louis Browns tho big leaguer would trade First Baseman Plpp. He apparently had in side information that such an agree ment would moot the approval of the Browns. Put in Hard Training For Hoop Game to Be Played in Logan Saturday. LOGAN, Jan. 11. Tno Aggies have been putting in some hard licks for their game with the West HIgu Pan thers, which will bo played in Logan Saturday. Tho boys arc slowly rounding into old-timo form and should be in fair trim when they meet their scholastic rivals at the end of tho week. There has been some talk of Bcrnt-j son, B. Y. C. star, being declared in eligible on account of competing in college athletics during his high school days. The case will be taken before the conference for a hearing, and it Is possible that he will be re instated beforo tho season opens. If he is forced from competition it will materially weaken the prospects of the Aggies, as this youth was showing surprising ability at the hoop game. The B. Y. C. 1b scheduled to tackle tho Panthers tomorrow, and the next evening will bring the high school boys and the Aggies together. This gamo will be no easy sailing for the college men, as tho Panthers are strong this year, and at tho present time tho Ag gies have shown nothing on which to place any championship hopes. It is almost assured that tho Mon tana State college basketball aggre gation will be brought to Logan for two games on January 25 and 26. The Aggies journeyed to Bozeman last year I and were trimmed by that aggrega tion, and are now anxious to have an opportunity to get a little revenge. John L. Coburn, graduate manager of athletics at the A. C, will repre sent the Aggies at the conference meeting in-Dcnver tomorrow, at which meeting a schedule for next year's football aggregation will be arranged. Tho Aggies expect to secure a more satisfactory schedule next season, as they will for the first time have some, say as to whom they want to play and who they do not. Denver has already expressed a willingness to play the Farmers next year, and Manager Co burn also wired California today, en deavoring to arrange a game for next fall.
