Such mnotice must be given before Jan. 1 of each year, ‘as provided fer in the rules, and the clubs have until March 1 to send out their contracts. As many of the major league players are in the ser- vice and some still are overseas, it is likely they will not receive their no- tice before the first of the new year; but the club will be complying with the rules by sending the notices to “the last known address” of the players and their claims will be duly recog- nized by the national commission. Several players have raised the question of the clubs’ right to claim their ‘services for the coming season, holding that their contracts were au- tomatically cancelled when the leagues failed to finish the season of 1918 and withheld one month's salary from their pay envelopes. The official notices to be sent out before Jan. 1. however, will dissipate .any» idea lurking in the minds of the players that they are free agents. Reserve lists have been filed by each of the 16 clubs and an agreement entered into between the two leagues following the closing of either league executing a contract with a player reserved by another club. Ty Cobb, who returned from France a few days ago. was one of the players to ‘question the Detroit club’s right to his services, and i$ quoted as saying he considered himself free to dicker with the highest bidder for his ser- vices. If the report is true, the “Georgia Peach” and the other players who are entertaining the same idea will have a rude awakening about the the time Santa Claus finishes deliver- ing the league's presents this week ‘Whether the ¢ ¢ claims on players will hold good in a court of law, if the player cares to carry it that far, is| a question, but the reserve list is recognized by all leagues affiliated with organized baseball, and there is no chance for any playér, no matter how much his services may he desired,‘ quitting one club for another. i This matter was discussed with several club owners at the recent meeting of the National league in New York and with two of the American | league magnates, and each expressed the opinion that there would be no/ their position regarding contract rights. Connie Mack say “I was | rather sirprised to read ahout Cobb claiming to be a free agent. He knows better. The club owners did all they | could ldst season to carry the gamel| along as_far possible.” and only | hen they were forced to do| so. It was only natural that we should | enter into an agreement to protect our | interests and, of course, we are bound to respect each others’ rights.” i CANIELSON WINS IN EXCITING BASKETBALL The Danielson tall fire agai defeated Jewett C 1 to I8, at Jew- ay night.

KNOCKDOWN IN FOURTH SETTLES LEVINSKY#HOUCK BOUT Lancaster, Pa., Dec. '25.—Battling Levinsky defeated Leo Houck hepe to- day in six fast rounds, a clean knock- down in the fourth round that followed when the Battler landed a left swing to the point of Houck's jaw gave him the decision. Levinsky carried off "honors in the third and fourth rounds. Houck came back strong and won the fifth. The rest were even. Houck used a left jab all through the fight with- good results, but Levinsky was too clever. Iour knockouts featured the bill. E U. 8. May Get Invite. An invitation to the United States to send a picked team of athletes to Sweden to participate in an interna- | tional athletic meeting in 1921 is ex-4 pected soon. The occasion will be the 300th anniversary of the city of Gote- borg, second largest city of Sweden. Carl Benson, former amateur wrestling champjon, made this announcement upon his return to this country from an extended sojourn in Sweden. It is planned to erect a stadium compara- ble to the one at Stockholm, where the Olympic games of 1912 were held. Ernie Hjorthorg, well known as a former New York trainer of athlefes, has been engaged to prepare the ath- letes of Goteborg, according to Ben- son. Hjorthorg was until recently coach of Sweden's Olympic athletes. GOVERNMENT HUNTERS WAGING WARFARE ON PREDATORY ANIMALS By ' Peter P. Carney, Authority on Sporting Subjects.

Thelr efforts are encouraging stock- men to increase livestock production on the federal forest reserves as well as in the range country, and they are protecting the sources of our supplies of meat, leather and wool in the west- ern grazing districts. Hunters of the biological survey of the United States department of agri- culture have killed 70,713 predatory animals during the last three years, which has resulted in a direct saving estimated at nearly $5,500,000 a year to the stockmen of the Rocky moun- tain section. 3 The total killed since the fall of 1915, when the work was started, includes 60,473 coyotes,* 8,094 bobcats, 1,829 wolves, 201 mountain lions and 137 bears. Government experts estimate that the annual depredations among cattle and sheep effected by single predatory animals are as follows: Wolf $1,000, stock-killing grizzly bear $500, moun- tain lion §500, bobcat $30, and coyote $350. Fox Hunting at lthaca. To decide who owns the fastest dog in Tompkins county, the Ithaca (N. Y.) Fox Hunting club is holding a fox hunt every morning there is a tracking | snow. The hunts will continue to Feb. 1. The Ithaca Fox Hufiting ‘club has 25 active members. Every member has two or more dogs. The country about Ithaca is rough and hilly, too rough to ride a 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 willll run from early morn until dark. In connection with these hunts, Lou | K Smith contributes a few remarksabout | dogs. He has imported dogs from Eng- land, has selected dogs in various sec- tions 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 southern dogs lack courage to run all day in freezing| weather, and that the best dogs are the native ones, bred from generations back of the northern fox dog. Louisiana Gets Six Buffalo. Six buffalo—two bulls and four cows —of the Corbin herd of Newport, N. H., will bes shipped in January to the state forest preserve’ in Urania, La., and placed in the same enclosure as the "elk herd that came from . the Yellowstone National park three years go0. The Corbin is the largest private buffalo herd in the United States. It has become so large that the owners decreasing the herd by selling ate game com- ana preserve is| ound. The buffalo will be propagated under the direction of the state department of conservation. The buffalo so raised will be distributed among the parks of the state. Want Change in Deer Law. South Jersey sportsmen have pre- pared a bill ch they will present t the coming session of the New for four suc- r next as the season for the killing of deer in stead of four days in as many weck as at present. @he sportsmen are not | 50 much concerned about allowing the | use of dogs, but feel that with four| continuous days there would be a bet- | ter chance to get crippled deer.

Yet so far as known Cleveland has escaped punishment., while the Red| Sox are scored because there has been | § gambling at Fenway park, in spite |8 of all efforts of the club to suppress | activities of the gamblers. 2 An active campaign is being waged by the United States lawn tennis as- | sociation to have ‘the college recog- nize tennis as a major sport. Co- of the national collegiate athletic association is expected at the annual meeting of the association late this month. The colleges have con- | tributed only the support of individual performers, though the game has been increasing ‘in great popularity in all schools. There is every reason why tennis should be ranked as a major. Oarsmen are encouraged by the re- ports that the colleges may resume rowing in the spring. Amateur clubs are likely to get back on the water, though it is doubtful at present if any of the local clubs will do much row- ing. All three local clubs, as must be expected, were set bacl greatly by the war and it may take them some time to get back to normal. The annual regatta of the national associa- tion of amateur oarsmen is wanted by both Duluth and Lynn, but the latter place should be favored. Duluth does need such a stimulant as the - regatta. With Lynn having the races a great impetus would be given the clubs of the East. That impetus is quite nee- essary. While Major Houghton is no longer interested in .professional baseball he has the interests of the game at heart and predicts a bright season for 1919. Ie en- dorsed the sentiments expressed by Johnny Evers and Jack Hen- dricks as to the future and de- clared that the doughboys are all|j smoked up over the porspects of the approaching season. The sol- | diers’ chief concern seems to be! to get back in time for the open- ing next yeat. Artle Shafer, one-time tempera- mental infielder of the Giants, who quit the big show because his mail was flooded by “mash” notes, is anxious to don the spangles again. ‘Whether or not he will return to the Giants is not known. He is anxions to secure his release from McGraw so that he can play on the coast. I Secretary Giants, George Kelley er. Kelley expects soon from the service. the bell to ring.
