THE STAR—THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1911. The Star’s Sporting Page Is Wide y Read FIELDER JONES WILL BE ELECTED Fielder Jones, the old leader of the Chicago White Sox, will be| looted president of the Northwestern league (his afternoon. The application of Walla Walla for a franchise will be reported un: | favorably, and the cireutt will remain as at present, with an taproved | schedule, that will give Seattie continuous ball, excepting only aix days tn the entire season Thia, in a nutshell, is the action that wil! be taken at the directors meeting of the thwestern league this afternoon The ¢ m of Jones has been agreed upon, as Well as the other points at issue, and ; Judge MeCredie has the schedule prepared. There will be no argument on this point, All the magnates arrived in the ¢lty yesterday and spent the fc | noon in informal discussion, Both the McCredies, the judge and Walter, | arrived from Portland and Wattelet and Brown are on hand to repre-| sent the Canadian towns, Victoria and Vancouver, Joe Cohn, the irre | Preasible and irresistible, arrived from Spokane, and A, EB.

Were there another) tity as anxious as Walla Walla, it might be different, but seven is an odd number, Anyhow, the magnates declare the present season is hot the one to expand. The McCredies aré the ones who are strong for the candidacy of Fielder Jones, and Joe Cohn has very vigorously seconded the motion. Were Shreeder on deck, he would undoubtedly say I'm for Lucas,” | Dut as he isn't, no voice of opposition is heard. The two Canadian @irectors are agreeable to almost anything the other fellers are, and our own Dug isn't saying a word, although he would like to see league boedaperters remain in dear old Seattle, but what's the use? i ecting will be a very peaceable affair—one of those “You seratch-my-back-and! Ii-scratch-yours,” doucherknow, and will end with & big feed in the Rathskeller tonight. Three cheers for Fielder Jones and continuous ball—and Joe Cohn} and Watty, and Hob B. and Dug. Also a fond farewell to Mr. George Shreeder, one of the gamest sports who ever drew breath, and a credit to Tacoma. Were there more in Tacoma like Mr, Shreeder, it might have remained the metropolis of Puget sound HOLLAND. LOSES STANFORD IS OFF Edited by ROY WHITMAN PRESIDENT ‘Baseparn Is AS Unc Unusual events marked the bane ball season of 1911. A few of the most extraordinary things noted prove that baseball, with its uncer tainty, is as new today as it was a decade ago, When Lajole strikes out, the fans are amared, Ed Walsh, of the White Sox fanned him thrtce in one game at Chicago. The entire outfield seldom 10 putouts, but Bert Shotte jthe Browns bed this many in one afternoon, Vean Gregs, of Cleveland, and Grover Alexander, of the Phillies, big league recruits, proved the mainstay of thelr respective teams in the box, Prank Baker's two home runa, on succeeding days, was unheard of in world's series games.

He may have weighed 143 pounds, but not a) pennywelght heavier, Russell stood scowling down at the ittle man, | but not for long. Walcott leaped high, flung a furious right in the air and landed full on the big man's jaw, Russell feil with a thud, and the crowd, as the referee began to count, sat up and worshiped little Joe an the real thing and the giant slayer. On the call of nine, the long Mr. Ri Mr. Walcott ended as biow. For the huge Mr, Russell, driving his great arms ahead iitke platon rods, proceeded to biff, bang and batter the diminutive Mr. Wal- cott, Joe had rushed under the guard of other tall fellows and caved in thelr ribs. When he rushed at this man, the great arma flung bim back Iike ball. The other tall men had shot their punches wildly over the cocoanut head, and Joe had closed in with awful body drives, This man brought his fate down upon the cocoanut head «with a thump like McCarthy pounding sand. Little Joe was sent reeling every time he rashed, and it can easily be imagined what sort of a figure he cut when he trind to spar or box with the enormous man before him Round after round they went along, and it was rich stuff to see Mr. Walcott bouncing off the ends of Mr. Runsell’s gloves. The gamboge streak in Mr, Russell alone prevented the massacre from becoming an annihilation. He held back instead of rusbing, and simply bouneed the little colored man off his hands inatead of follow ng and finishing him. For this reagon, and also because of the knock jown at the beginning of the fight, the referee sald “Draw,” but Mr. Walcott wouldn't have survived through two more rounds. In the dressing roow, the giant killed took off the gloves. “Ah'm done wiv dem giantses,” said he. “Ah've changed mab mind.
