Hornsby Slated for Giants st Louis Star to "Be ‘Sold to Manhattan Club Deal Due, Says Turbyville When Branch Rickey stepped down from presidentmanager to man ager of the Cardinals a few weeks ago it was still generally thought he retained full say-so on any action taken by the St. Louis club. But now they're telling @ story around stove league circles that Branch isn’t to have full eay-so on everything. At least, he isn’t going to have his own way about Rogers Hornsby, the story goes. The latest tip Is out that Rogers Hornsby will be sold to the Giants at the big baseball meeting in Chicago this week. It is said the Cards will take probably four players ana some cash in exchange. Rickey has declared all along that Hornsby would not be sold. He said the club kept Hornsby when money was badly needed and now that the club showed earnings for 1919 it certainly wouldn't entertain any idea of letting the crack infielder go. Rickey contended that Hornsby belonged with the Cards—that they would be foolish to let such a man go. But other baseball men do not agree with Rickey. Some of the best heads in the game declare they would let Hornsby go if they could get several good players in exchange for nim. The Yankees got Ruth and the Giants have to do something to make themselves solid with the fans of New York. Hornsby is the man they want. Ruth t without doubt the greatest drawing card In the game today He will draw more fans thru the turnstiles than Ty Cobb or Walter Johnson ever attracted. But Hornsby isn't such a flashy player despite the fact he is a wonderful fielding star and a corking good hitter. 0. A. C. IS LEADING EN COAST CAGE RACE po O. A.

Running up a total of 38 points to the Pratique five's 17, the local ath- letic club took the long end of the count, The Swastikas took the lead immediately when Somers tricked his guard twice in succession, drib- bling up for two close shots in the first 30 seconds, Schultz dropped two In from the middle of the floor immediately afterward, and there. after the Swastikas had things pret- ty much their own way. Somers and Schultz had the Townsend guards baffled with their varied forms of at- tack, caging alternately long and short shots, and, with the aid of Crawford, Swastika center, complete ly outgeneraled the down Straits guards, Long shots by Schultz and one handed Spears by Somers were the features of the game, Thompson and Due featured with their close checking and repeatedly broke up the offense of the Legion five.

ROSE Carbonado defeated the Black Diamond eleven by two goals to one on the grounds of the latter, Sunday, in the opening game of the McMillan cup soccer series. Not for many years has there been so much enthusiasm around the sidelines of the coal town field as there was yesterday, but the strong defense of the visitors stood the test and carried the long end of the score back to Carbonado, The inclusion of several stars from Seattle seems to have created new interest in soccer circles in Black Diamond, as there was a rec- ord attendance when the rival coab diggers took the fieid. Play started with Carbonado press- ing and the clever and fast combi- nation of the attack was a source of trouble to the home defense. Davis, the elusive center, twice outwitted the Black Diamond backs and placed Carbonado with a 20 lead at half-time, With the resumption of play the homesters took up the running and Peppered the visitors’ goalkeeper with shots from all angles, but Banks was invinelble, A run on the right by Byers near- ly put the Carbonados further ahead. Hannus’ shot missing by inches, Excitement was at fever heat when Thompson finally succeeded in beating Banks, but that was as far as the scoring went and so we find the pennant-winning Carbonado squad out in the lead for more honors. According to gossip around local soccer quarters the Duthie shipyard will put a team in the race at to- morrow night's meeting, making a three-cornered race. ‘The following players took part in yesterday's melee at Black Diamond: Carbonado—Banks, W. Harlin, Al- len, Anderson, Byrch, Weston, Byers, E. Harlin, Davis, Stobbs and Hannus, Black Diamond—Troyer, McLean, Yuna, McGrath, Pettigrew, McKin- non, Moroni, White, Overton, Thompson and Strange.

SAXTON POPE. (America’s Most Expert ~ Bow-Man) To meet an enraged moun- tain lion with a rifle is bad | enough. But to face him in thes wilds with bow and arrow, at” 20 yards distance, as Arthur H. Young, my hunting com-_, panion, and I recently did ins the California forest, is as’ thrilling an adventure as. comes to the American sportsman. s It is a sheer test of fight- ing wits between man and beast. P It was only after much ex- perience in hunting with the” bow, and after careful coach- ing by Ishi, noted Yan Indian archer and last of his race, now dead, that Young and I set out to try conclu- sions with the mountain lie panther or cougar—m and wariest of our big g With two dogs for trackers, entered the forests of Tuolumne) county, California, in the Rose creek district, armed only with our power- ful home-made bows of Oregon yew | and a doren steel-pointed arrows. _ The mountain lion is wary wise, and it was not until after sev. eral days hunting that the dogs picked up the trail of one.

But with one arrow in his heart and another in his lungs, the beast stood no chance. In less than half a minute he lay dead at our feets. Thrills?
