Players who. participated in the world's hockey series in Seattle are having -a d fficult time "trying - to make both ends meet as a result of the 1917 division. The Seattle club, the w'nner, drew down $1,800, while grandstand at Hot Springs and caus- ed a one-day suspension: of racing. The sport has been resumed over the Oaklawn track, the latter plant hav- ing been tendered to the Essex Park management to continue its meeting. The decision of the English Jockey Club to continue racing this year on a more extensive seale shoyld put the quietus on those joy-killers, who ad- vocated the cessation of all sport in Canada. a PPL Ex-Jockey Dan Fuller, who last ap- peared as a rider in 1908 at Los An- geles, and who has ridden at Wood- bine Park, has -been renewing ac- quaintances in town for sevenal days. Nationals will oppose the new club which has applied for admittance to the N. L, U. They intend to hold a monopoly on the French-Canadian rah rahs, Even in the midst of a great na- tional crisis there are men who will continue to get excited over spark plugs and clutches. Jess Willard, the champion heavy weight pugilist, sent this telegram to President Wilson: "I will fight, When do you want me?" Hamilton bids good-bye shortly to another, and probably its most pop- "ular sportsman, in the person of "Bobby" Kerr, world famous sprint- er. He leaves with the 164th Bat- talion for the east. SHELTIE HII IN N00 . BOOSTING THE RATES + FOR BALL TEAMS. ¢ Club owners in the major # league expect to pay an addi- 4 tional $2,000 for hotel bills this season. Several of the club # presidents have been notified that some of the hotels where their teams stopped have found it necessary to raise their rates 50 cents to $1 a day for each man. The clubs usually carry about twenty-five men on the road, and this will mean the payment of $15 to $25 addition- al each day, or about two thaus- # and dollars for the season. t+ * SPORTING WRITERS ASK y The New York State Governor to Save Boxing Game, y A delegation of twenty-five or more sporting writers from all over the State had a formal conference with Governor Whitman in the Ex- ecutive 'chamber at Albany, N.Y., last Thursday, They asked the Gov- ernor to save the boxing game. The writers suggested the appoint- ment in a semi-official capacity of a committee of twenty-four of their members to serve as an advisory and supervising commission to co-operate with the 'State Athletic Comamission to continue and safeguard the con- duct of athletic exhibitions in the State. : : Gov, Whitman asked the writers if they had heard as yet "of any of the fighters enlisting to fight for their country."
