ELLISON EXPECTS FASTER LEAGUE By BERT ELLISON (Manager San Francisco Club of the Pacific Coast League) SAN FRANCISCO, April 8. The San Francisco club is all set to start the 1924 campaign and I am confident that the Seals will again be among the leaders. A great deal has been writtex regarding our pitching staff. In fact, almost every club in the league is judging its strength by the loss of two of our pitchers, Doug McWeeny and Harry Courtney. I believe a very agreeable surprise is in store for our fans and one that will probably not be as agreeable to the other seven clubs of the league. I am absolutely confident that our pitchers are again going to lead the coast flingers, and that our three new left-handers, Geo. Burger, Hunky Schoor and Guy Williams, are all going to be very valuable additions to our pitching department. And don’t forget we have a number of young pitchers, who may surprise us all before the season is well started. I look for a much faster league this year. I know that our club will play a much better fielding game. Our infield will start intact after a complete season of play. Our outfield also starts with a year’s experience together. Our catching staff is the same and with practically the same club that won the pennant for San Francisco last year. I can’t see anything but another championship for the Seals. COOL AND CLOUDY FOR B.

B. OPENING SAN FRANCISCO, April 8.—Cool and cloudy weather prevailed in San Francisco and Los Angeles today for the opening of 1924 season of the Pacific Coast league. Sacramento and Salt Lake City reported clear and warm weather. Exceptional interest in the opening of the season presaged large crowds, reports from all four cities stated. FANS DISAPPROVE FOUR ROUND BOUTS SAN FRANCISCO, April 11.—Determined effort is being made in California to change the state boxing law to provide for longer bouts. Ten rounds is the goal of the boosters for longer fights. The proposed law may be made to read so as to limit each card to one 10-round bout. This would provide for one or two 6-round sessions with the preliminaries running four cantos. Billy Wells, British welter champion, demonstrated how unsatisfactory the four-round racket may be the other night in Oakland when he boxed Jimmy Duffy. The Oakland socked the Briton a plenty in the first two rounds. Wells just got going good in the third and fourth and in three or four rounds more might have finished off Duffy. On the other hand Duffy might have staged a comeback and won. As it was the draw verdict left a bad taste with the fans.

SEATTLE LEADER IS OPTIMISTIC By WADE KILLIFER (Manager Seattle Club, Pacific Coast League.) LOS ANGELES, April 8.—The Seattle club is one of the good teams I have had the privilege of managing during my six years as a baseball manager. It is foolish for managers to make predictions before the start of the season, because nobody knows how things will break—whether the stars will come thru,the pitcher's deliver or whether injuries will handicap the club.I think, however, that my ball club will be one of the strong teams.I know that we have the power this year. We have the hitting strength and the speed to get runs and if our defense is as strong.I am confident we will be among the leaders.Much has been said about my pitching staff.I am confident that my pitchers will hold up under fire,even tho I am not sure Just how Jim Bagby.Vean Gregg and Weiser Dell will go.I think Pigg.Plummer and Steuland,three youngsterswill deliver strongly,and Sudg Sutherland and Carl Williams are also being figured on.In addition,Ciff Brady,added to my infield,has strengthened it.Brady and Crane give me a great combination around second base.Elmer Bowman is also a slugger.With a 50-50 break I think we will finish one,two,three.

The baseball world may never know how long mighty arm of Walter Johnson might have canhim through the big leagues. For, as King Walt limbs it for his eighteenth season in the mand and with Washington he is laying plans to refrom the game voluntarily to enter the magnaend as owner of a minor league franchise. The pabilities are the coming season will be his last. plans become known as critics who have watched in action in the Tampa, Fl., camp of the Senaremark that he seems good for three or four nyears. He is training as religiously as ever and wing appears in good shape. Johnson, one of brainiest men in the game's history, is finanable to step out of the pitcher's box. He has fame aplenty. He no doubt desires to get away y the grind. But if he does quit before the ol' bone yells "Enough," fans will always wonder long he could have gone on. MAY ORGANIZE PROFESSIONALS NEW YORK, April 8.—William Tilden II, world's singles champion; Vincent Richards, No. 4 in the national ranking list, and other lawn tennis stars who may be declared outside the pale of amateur ranking by the player-writer rule next year, may be pre-nailed upon to continue in competition as professionals, according to gossiping tongues. It is whispered that some bright soul has conceived the idea of organizing the tennis professionals along the lines of the professional golfers association. There is not the slightest reason why such a plan should not prosper. There are professional championships in golf, squash, court tennis and kindred pastimes and they received as much attention as the amateur events. In addition, Tilden and Richards are rather strong sales talk for an idea. With Bill Johnston about to retire they represent the final word in American tennis. However, it is understood that either Tilden nor Richards has been approached on the project.

Andre Doutis recently slapped Mr. Leoux for a row of souvenir shops of a 20-round bout. Ledoux, a brilliant boxer and popular favorite, had reigned in the bantam class for 14 years. In that period he had met all comers. He had given the best years of his life to the sport. It was only a question of how long he could defy old Dadimo. Ledoux was well known to American fans, having fought several bouts in this country. Pitcher George Dumont derives to win at least a berth with the New York Yankees if he doesn't become a regular. For preservation such as that exhibited by Dumont should be rewarded. Back around 1915 Dumont not a chance with the Washington Senators. Later he showed to advantage for a time with the Red Box. Then he was shunted back to the minors. He pitched for Atlanta last year and the Yankee bouts were so taken with his work that they recommended he be signed. He was. With such pitchers as Shawkey, Bush, Jones, Joyt and Pennock on the firing one of the chances of breaking in regularly seem remote, but Dumont could render valuable service as relief hurler.

"ICEBOUND" IS DIFFERENT FILM If there ever was anything different in motion pictures, it's "Icebound," the William De Mille production for Paramount, which opened at the California theatre this afternoon. If we hadn’t seen the Owen Davis stage play, we might have expected to find just another picture of the frozen North, Canadian Royal Mounted and all that sort of thing. But it’s nothing like that: Rather practically a scene-for-scene picturization of the Pulitzer prize play which ran to capacity for over a year on Broadway and is still packing them in wherever shown. "Icebound" is a story about plain country people, presented in a far more interesting fashion than the legitimate play and in which many of the scenes and characters, merely referred to in the stage success, become realities. Lois Wilson and Richard Dix are the featured players. Vera Reynolds, Ethel Wales, Edna May Oliver, Alice Chapin and others play in support. CITIZENS BECOME KEEPERS OF DEER SACRAMENTO, April 5.—No less than 280 residents of California hold "guardianship papers" for wild deer which have succumbed to attractions of domestication and are kept as pets.

The covered wagons are again on the trek! The movies would have it that the era of the covered wagon is history. Not so, for in far western Texas daily long trains of the slow-crawling polineer vehicles are struggling into newly opened lands. Thousands of acres of territory formerly unfit for cattle grazing have been discovered to be of the "cat's claw" variety of soil, perfectly adapted to agriculture. As a result homeseekers are pouring into the west, some in high-powered motors, others in flivvers; but above all there predominates the reliable old covered wagon.
