SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 22. — Few
"inter seasons pass in California
without the recurring agitation con
cerning the organization of a Cali
fornia state league, and the present
season is no exception to the rule.
Baseball enthusiasts of several Cali
fornia cities again are seriously dl8
I cussing the advisability of making up
ja circuit.
Among the cities interested are
Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno and San
Jose. The venture has been started
on several occasions in the past, but
for one reason or another it never has
proved to be financially successful.
The ruling powers in the Pacific
coast league are not opposed to such
a minor league, which would be either
in the D or C class. As a matter of
fact it has been said that the larger
organization would welcome the lesser
for the reason that it would tend to
develop new players, of which the
Pacific coast, league is badly In need.
Frltieism in the past has been to the
effect that the coast circuit has tend
ed too much toward attempting to re
juvenate the castoffs of the major or
ganizations instead of developing
younger talent on its own account.
Cliff Blankenship, former Salt Bake
manager, now a resident of San Fran
cisco, admits that fans of the interior
cities have been discussing the pro
jeet with him, and he thinks there
should be no difficulty in organizing
the league and making it self sustain
ing.
11 iiuui in* uruniilK pupil
lathm this league would have, play out
their schedules successfully in every
part of the country,” he said.
"On this proposed California clr
cult we would have Sacramento, with
70,000, or more, Fresno and Stockton
with 35.000 or more each, and San
j Jose with more than 40,000.
I "Jumps would be comparatively
short. Players could be developed as
they are developed in minor leagues
all ever the country, and sold to the
major and Class AA leagues and any
I deficit could he met this way.
, "1 would favor a schedule of si>
games a week and a five months
playing season. And I would want tr
see ojj|s~sbout one veteran on any
club^^krsonally I d like to see sue!
a l'-isBBftronl/eil. and I'd he willing
to if thp fans of the different
towns snowed the proper Interest."
A plan which probably is unique Ir
the annals of Pacific coast yachting 1;
on foot In Seattle. It contemplates t
fleet ufti only of coast pleasure craft
hut those of the Atlantic seaboard
uniting In a cruise of Alaskan waters
The Seattle Yacht Club is sponsor foi
the - heme and has sent invitation)
to nil vaoht clubs which at the tlmi
asks for suggestions with a view o
ascertaining the practicability of tin
idea
V- Hie Incomplete plans stand, tin
trip will start from Seattle early it
June Only craft able to make ar
ocean speed of eight to ten knots ar
hour will be allowed to take part, bul
for the benefit of yachtsmen who havi
no suitable craft, it is proposed thal
two passenger vessel.-, lie chartered
from the Canadian Pacific railroad.
The cruise will be made in what
is known as the Inland channel, pro
tected by islands from the storms of
the sea. The time occupied in making
the cruise will be during the long
period, when the sun does not set un
til 10 o'clock at night, rising at 1 a. m.
Not only will the coast clubs be In
vited to participate, but yachting or
ganizations on the Great Lakes, the
Atlantic seaboard and the gulf coast
will be sent letters of invitation when
the plans are crystallized into a defi
nite form.
Juneau or Skagway will be the ter
minus of the cruise, neither having
been definitely selected. If It is Skag
way, a trip over the famous White
Pass & Yukon railroad, following the
gold trail established In the Klondike |
stampede, will be taken. Points of in- ,
terest along the route will be visited
and stops made for hunting and fish
ing purposes. A water carnival at Se
attle will either precede or follow the
cruise.
The letter is signed by Vice-Commo
dore Captain J. S. Gibson and Direc
tors Norman li. Litimer and A. W.
Leonard or the Seattle Yacht Club, the
committee appointed to take care of
the matter.
According to an estimate given by
Warden K. M. Brown, of Portland, ap
proximately 180,0<M) ducks, geese, rails
and cools were killed during the open
season of 1018 by the hunters of four
counties; namely, Multnomah, Colum
bia, Clatsop and Tillamook counties.
There were approximately 7,000 shoot
ing in Multnomah county, 1,200 In Co
lumbia, 2,000 in Clatsop and 500 in
Tillamook, making a total of 10,700
gun wielders.
There is activity in practically every
line of sport in Butte, Mont., and ath
letes look forward to one of the best
spotting years on record during the
present year. Boxing Is said to be
meeting with unprecedented success,
■and there is unusual interest in the
plants for next season's baseball.
ROAD APPROPRIATIONS
likely to be lowered.
In a letter received by Major !’. \V.
Davison, of the Alaskan road com
mission, Colonel Richardson, now in
Washington, stated that he had ap
peared before the house military com
mittee in behalf of the appropriation
for Alaskan roads. Colonel Richard
son says that while it is yet too early
to make any predictions with any de
gree of accuracy, the Indications are,
nevertheless, that the appropriation of
$.">00,000 asked for will likely be cut
somewhat before the appropriation bill
is passed.
