| nouncement recently made that Fanny

Pacific coast appearance is as follows:
June 3, she arrives; June 6-7, Stan
ford university; June 21, Sacramento;!

, and Yosemite; July 18-27, meets in
| San Francisco, Oakland and Alameda;

I August 5, Vancouver.
Following this, tentative arrange
ments are being made for her to swim

is holder of practically all world’s rec
ords, from the sprints to the longer
distances. The best of the American

Miss Durack in each city she visits.
Alaska City’s Unique Diamond
KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Feb. 8.—This
city claims a unique baseball diamond.
When baseball players of this southern
Alaska city schedule games they al
ways take tide conditions into con
sideration, for the park is built on
the flats below the city, and at high
tide the playing ground and lower
seats of the grandstand are under
water.
Games are played at low water after
the park has been rolled by the waves.
Long games are often called on ac
“ count of rising tides.

Trap-Shooting at Spokane
SPOKANE, Wash., Feb. 8.—At least
eight cities will be represented in the
Northwest trap-shooting champion
I ship, which be shot on Sunday next,
| February 10. The following already
| are entered: Spokane, Butte, Kalis
| pell, Billings, Seattle, Portland, Bel
1 lingham and Boise. A team of offi
1 cers from Camp Lewis and a Tacoma
§ team are likely to be in the fists 'vbTn
| competition begins. A dozen clubs are
| expected to compete in the Inland Em
| pire shooting, which will take place on
||; the same day.
. Soldiers to Play Professionals
f SEATTLE, Feb. 8.—Plans are in th
^ making whereby the soldiers stationed
at Camp Lewis will get three days o j
baseball during the week in the com
ing season. It Is proposed that teams
of the Pacific International League
shall include the camp in their itin
erary and play games with the best
club that can be raised among the|
soldiers on Wednesdays, Saturdays
and Sundays. Inasmuch as some of
the brightest stars of the American;
^ diamond are on the camp roll, the pro-,
' fessionals in the league are not picking^
r out anything easy when they line up
1 against the militia players.

Training to Be Intensified
SEATTLE, Feb. 8.—The University
of Washington is planning an inten
sive schedule in the intramural sports
in order to give students additional
training. This is said to be largely
the outcome of the reports showing
rejections among recruits for the army i
and navy for minor physical defects
which easily can be remedied.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.—Gent's who
use to promote boxing fracases in New |
York City are dead set against tlie|
boxing bill that has been prepared for!
Z their benefit at the state capital. They
have picked all kinds of flaws in it. and
declare they never will give their
support to such a measure.
Assemblyman Marty McCue, who,
in his day, was rather a clever man
ipulator of the padded mitts, is father
of the bill, and he spent many a long
and weary hour figuring out the
phrases with which he intended to
protect the boxing public from un
scrupulous and scheming promoters.
He had witnessed the grafting and
howling days of the Frawley bill and
had seen that no-decision bill kicked
into shreds at Albany. Being a sup
porter of boxing, he naturally wanted
some kind of a substitute spread on
the books.
McCue, so it seems, had the idea in
his head of limiting expenses, admis
! sions, and the fee that should be paid
to the state. But the promoters quick
ly pointed out to him that staging box
ing of that sort in New York City
never could be made to pay.
Philadelphia, they showed, with its
legalized six-round bouts, could in that
event outbid New York for the good
matches and get them. New York
would be forced to sit and twiddle its!
thumbs if any brakes were slapped onj
the producing end of the contract.
Such a concert of protest has risen
against the bill that it is probable it
will be allowed to die in committee.
Other bills, however, it is said, are in
course of preparation, and one of them
probably will be put for some action
before the end of the legislative sea- |
sion.
Sam Crawford, famous old slugger,
is considerably wrought up over the
fact that he has been dropped from
the Detroit club. Major league man
agers wanting outfielders might do
well to take a look at this veteran,
who can still hit ’em with more energy ■
and frequency than half of the young- ■
sters who are in the minors or on!
their way up. In addition, he is not
subject to the draft.
SECTOR IIO
' I
(Written for the United Press)
NEW YORK, Feb. 2..The northern
flank of the district persistently re
ported to be the principal training
ground of the American army in
France, is being brought into the poss
ible area of combat by German activ
ity about St. Mihiel.
The occasional French reconnoiter
ing raids along the St. Mihiel front
suggest enemy movements are sus
pected to be in course of preparation
at that part of the line. If a German
attack were to be delivered from St.j
Mihiel, its purpose could only be to!
threaten the American troops in train-*
ing some distance further south. St.
Mihiel is a secondary Verdun, about
twenty miles south of the great Meuse
fortress. It is the most Important;
supply base held by the Germans on!
French soil near the American en
campment.
St. Mihiel would form a strong cen
ter for offensive operations by the
Germans if they could spare the men!
and munitions for operations on a ma
jor scale. Under these conditions
there might be reason for some un
easiness concerning the inviolability
of the American training ground. But,
it is scarcely likely that any effort the!
Germans are now able to make would
be sufficiently powerful to reach the
American practice trenches.
Operations against General Persh
ing’s rookies undoubtedly hold out a
strong temptation to von Hindenburg,
who is notoriously favorable to the
strategy of striking the enemy first.
But, if the Germans fall a victim to
this temptation in the present in
stance. they will be Dlaying into the
hands of the French and the Ameri
cans. The district from St. Mihiel to
the region of the supposed American
encampment, is heavily protected by
an intricate series of defenses. Be
hind these positions the Americans
would be admirably placed to protect
themselves, even without French as
sistance.
With French help in reserve, the
chances would all favor the kaiser
meeting a defeat second only to Ver
dun if he were to attempt to swing his
line southward from St. Mihiel. The
kaiser’s sole chance of a serious suc
cess is that he might develop a sur
prise major attack if the French were '
not alert. But, the constant patrol,
raiding and reconnaissance attacks in
which the French are engaging near
the American training centre indicate
that a surprise blow is out of the ques
tion.
