Mooney, condemned labor radical agitator, who stopped off here en route to Sacramento today, declared that the arguments in the major league draft controversy before Commissioner Landis last January, had nothing to do with his appearance, but if the major league owners had their way, the players would have no rights at all and would stand with the Coast league in the fight. COACH CANDIDATES. MADISON, Wis., Jan. 31.—Harry Hughes, coach at the Colorado Agr. college; and Harry Mehre, of Notre Dame's football squad, of three, have arrived here today for a conference with Athletic Director Walter Meanwell of the University of Wisconsin. Both are being considered as candidates for the Wisconsin football coaching job to replace John R. Richards, [illegible]. CONROY FAMILY BIDDING FOR FAME NOW HELD BY ROMNEYS SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 31.—The Conroy family of Ogden and the Romney family of Salt Lake are making a merry race for athletic fame. The Conroys of Utah, but the Romneys have already gained fame in the houses because there are more Conroy than Romney boys. Three Conroy boys have gained fame at football playing for the Utah college eleven while the five Romney boys are developing into football players. Lee Romney, star player at the 'Varsity eleven, is the most famous member of the family. Another brother, Ted Conroy, who won intercollegiate amateur boxing honors last year, is now a job in Pete Conroy who can usually claim fame as an intercollegiate grid football squad. Bringing in at least three or four others of the three Conroy [illegible] who played on high school eleven (high school gridiron [illegible]). Four of the Romney boys are holding on to claims of having started brilliant careers as football players while the fifth is still to aspire to the gridiron. The younger Romney is football coach at the University of Utah, and Lowell Romney teaches football at the Utah Agricultural and Mechanical college. Romney is football coach at the University of Utah while Lowell Romney, who starred with the University of Michigan eleven, is football coach at the Utah (Agricultural and Mechanical) college. Douglas Romney made his mark as a freshman at Montana State college, having starred in the backfield there. Last season he starred with the University of Utah. The Romney family's claim of having furnished more prominent athletes than any other family in the United States has gone undisputed for some time. ## Column 2 ### LINEUP CHANGES COMING IN TILTS ON BUTTE FLOOR *Central Teams Loses Two Forwards While Butte Has Brand New Set.* Switched lineups to both Butte high and Central will be put to work on games at home against Anaconda and Helena this coming week. Both teams are threatened with improvement of starting string men under Coach Dahlberg and the bugbear of studies with some Montana athletes. Butte high, playing the fast-coming Anacondans of the former's gym tonight, will present an entirely new acting combination replaces the regulars. Coach Dahlberg stated last night: From the other school Coach Bove [Howe?] has announced that Old Burke, the tall, slim forward, and Frederick, the lanky, goal haunting forward, are both reported to be under restrictions for play in Dillon tomorrow and at Helena Saturday against Mt. West and White from Great Falls. For Butte: Secretary Sullivan has switched McKinnin from center to forward to take a regular role with "Old Timers" who had been the reserve's job. Sullivan and Howe are the other regular forward while Murray who has been at guard all year will play center. Moffitt is "Odd" Rearden working opposite him. The central teams also shooting into the night. Contending, Paulson at center and Eck, Ross and Welden who will be eligible to start a combination. Coach Dahlberg said last night when these two boys entered, Thierkoff, regular man in the middle by his work, and Yanow, Jordan and Ala, heretofore forward choices. Last night the Purple quintet practiced and came through satisfying while at the high school gym with the scheduled games approaching both squads have had a very hard run. The Miners are getting away to a practice Friday and Saturday in Helena with Mount St. Helena and Walton before their bouts. Credit, the center of his best efforts to close counts has been coming along and the city champions are practising for victories over the Helena colors when they. Saturday night while Central is tackled with Helena squads, Butte high will take up a game in Butte and a new Butte team will be the opponents. It is hoped the high school squad that trimmed both local schools with all squads several months ago. ### MIDDIES CLAIM FIRST PLACE IN SIX SPORTS By the Associated Press. ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 31.—During the last year, the Naval academy teams have taken the leading positions among all the sporting teams of this country at the present time. Navy's supremacy has been generally conceded by colleges throughout the country and for the first time in recent history the leaders have apparently given Navy their first place. First place is claimed by the military men in six of the ten leading sports in which teams compete. In boxing it was undefeated, but the year saw them slip back in wrestling. In wrestling they have been consistent in string of triumphs, and the boxing and track teams have been the service representatives. ### JOE RAY SHATTERS WORLD INDOOR RECORD By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Joe Ray of Chicago, shattered the world's indoor record for the mile tonight. He ran a mile and a half indoors at the Millrose Athletic club events in Madison Square Garden tonight by finishing in 7 minutes 28 3/4 seconds. Willie Ritola of Finland and Joie Wanamaker ran the event together, and while Ray was the last second ahead of the field tonight he beat the previous record of 6 minutes 12 2–5 seconds which he set last year. Ray, who runs for the Illinois A. A., virtually broke the world's record for the 1,000 yard run indoors in a mile event tonight when he was the season's sensation who set a new mark of 8 feet and who has his best high marks broken during the meet was shattered when Louis Richmond of Richmond W. Landon of the New York Athletic club ran second and shattered the running high jump at 6 feet 5¼ inches. GEORGES MATCHED. By the Associated Press. PARIS, Jan. 31.—Georges Carpentier has been matched to fight Sgt. Floyd Johnson, American heavyweight, in London. Francois Descamps, Carpentier's manager, announced this. ## Column 3 ### ANACONDA QUINTET WINS IN THRILLER *Deer Lodge Falls Before Fast Coming Smelter City Five.* Silver and Blue basket tossers came from behind in a game featured by long shots and defeated the Deer Lodge quintet by a score of 29 to 17 last night on the Anaconda floor. With the score 4 to 5 at the end of the first half, the visitors opened up in the last period and added some sterling basket work. Evans, a forward, let loose with four baskets from the floor in the last half. Coach snapped his team mates into action. Evans was clearly the outstanding star of the contest, scoring 10 points from the floor and two from the foul line. He did most of his scoring on Anaconda's alone, forcing his man to try from all angles. Hayden and Evans of the visitors were also quite alert; Anaconda incorporated a little a pretty passing game and counting off of the points fast. With the announcement that Anaconda opened the indoor sport this season and engaged the interior opponents, the visiting district scored to be announced that the local squad for '24 will have no financial worries. First Half. Anaconda took the tip-off, but a couple of passes resulted in the account of the similarity of the jersey worn by the teams. Anaconda called for time, out and changed jerseys. Drenning the settings. Deer Lodge then began to and Evans lead off from the floor but Larsen, the tall front wall, repeatedly banged one through the netting. Gorman followed up the play with a neat one, making the locals' first count from the floor a clean one. Hayden nailed the locals one when Larsen connected. Evans went over for a second basket and Hayden hit the often converted. The half ended with the score five all. Second Half. Evans started the scoring with a shot from the floor and then Larsen followed. While Evans connected right at the center of the floor and tossed in the first basket. Larsen again committed his third personal and Larsen hit the foul shot to lead by three. Hayden scored after taking the ball from the floor. A pass went wrong on Anaconda and it was tossed to Stroud Gurman, and as soon as play had called about it, Hayden scored. Evans of the visitors replied with one from the floor. Larsen again swept the sphere through the hoop, and then Hayden shortly behind him and the ball was bounced from the middle of the floor into the hoop for only three counters. Evans scored again with the hoop for two more counters. Evans followed up into the corner and on the tip-off Larsen placed one over for two more. With a neat shot Hayden converted a foul called on Larsen. Lineup. Anaconda .... Deer Lodge (4) Simmons (2) ....... f ........ Hayden (4) [illegible] (Left forward) (4)..Johnson (2) Right forward.

Donnelly at New Haven, who has been head of the Eastern league club, and the players who came through the baseball pool last season. Commissioner Landis asserted that baseball and football pools brought the more than 300 men under investigation and that the collection of levelling qualities of baseball come from the intimate and insincere aspects of the association. "I hope the fans of the country, I hope to drive out this evil spirit from the pool games in the five years I have left to serve," he said. Commissioner Landis apparently is at his strong acquaintance with some of the other connections, and asked that all baseball pools to be the "sinners" be [pay?]. Baseball has got to fight to the finish, declared Landis, the independent operators profit without direct benefit to the game and eventually kill it by stealing from the fans. You fans must help and my office is entirely open to your information. The baseball pool operators steal twice over from their dupes he said. They take millions of dollars each year from their clients with the assurance that it is only a lottery. As an institution in America, baseball ought to be taken out entirely from the fans. It only remains for the vast league organization with their frame of mind to oppose those who wish to collect the profits through pools. The profits from the baseball pools distribute as prizes only 15 per cent of the amount collected. CONVI WINNER. By the Associated Press.

Still greater strides will be made this winter, says James Long, previous all-season writer James J. Long in the Pittsburg Post, giving observations and notes relative to the players that have been made by major club owners. Among the points of his article, he observes: "War's effects upon major league baseball were a great deal more damaging than surface signs indicated. "What one classic showed was that a number of the leading performers of the majors in the pre-war classes were correspondingly weakened during their absence, and that the season of 1918 was cut short at the beginning of September at the orders of the government under the work-orfight order which forced the season of the previous year when the national game to be resumed in 1919 at the end of April. "From this it would appear that the old players were used up, and nothing that there was nothing to hinder a normal resumption. "The reconstruction period forced the major circuits themselves to see where the real damage rested. It was in the minors that the hardest blow fell, and from the minors that burned the whole structure of organised baseball. "Stopped Production of Players. "In the first place, the strains of war made it so hard for minor league clubs to keep going that many of them became very near closed and had to blow up after trying to make a start. The minor leagues were themselves under difficulties and with patched-up teams and interest in the game was thin on all." "The result of it was that the production of fully developed baseball players was practically halted. With all this it was generally a case of operating at all, always only making a fair show, always in the red. It was the easiest giving its attention to the majors, while the latter is still from top position even when the big war ended, conditions in the minors were so bad and so little inducement to professional ball as a means of making a living that the conditions of 1919 added the harmful effects of the anti-gambling laws, which by shutting down the race tracks, which boys went in for the diamond sport as a professional career." "To make it possible for the majors to operate it became entirely necessary to keep the quality of big league baseball well above the standard. This meant the use of players to offset the falling off of some big league veterans by the wholesale drafting of infusion of some new blood from the minors." ### Means Baseball Below Standard. "In the first place it meant keeping in the big leagues in recent years many men who were below par. Many had been sent back because the public has seen poorer baseball in the big leagues than any time in recent history; and the men in the minors were not sending up the usual quality of material. This brought a real decay in the majors, and with this before the leading men of the country they thought their only way was to replace them with better ones. They are beginning to drop the old fellows in increasing numbers and replace them with the younger men. This now means that baseball is returning to the normal standard." ### LANDIS SAYS PLAN FOR LICENSE WRONG BOSTON, Jan. 31.—Judge K. M. Landis, baseball commissioner, declared that the license plan proposed for baseball be thought the proposal new because it was a part of the game and because the licenses for professional players was impracticable, as far as it can be judged from the application of it from the situation of the expediency of the measure. He said the league organization's attempts to consider this to confuse. ### TROOP 28 WINNER IN SCOUT TUSSLE Troop 28 won from Troop 8, 19 to 8, in an easy contest and Troop 19 defeated Troop 6 by the same score in scout games played in the Butte high gym last night.

CONTEST The Orton Bros. educational test closed last evening after an interesting campaign, and a number of postcards received from all over the state. Many contestants came from Butte and Helena and many of them of very artistic inclinations. The four judges, the principal of Butte schools, Judge H. B. Miner and Post, worked until after midnight making the final decision of the four grand awards, according to the rules in the paper. First award, $450 Kimball piano.

John Greenleaf Whittier, who first published the "Snowbound," the symbolic of speedy work on the diamond, had his first volume of poems published at 22. ## Column 6 ### EXPECT TEN FAST TEAMS AT AVOCA FOR ICE NUMBERS *Contests for Prizes Will Bring Players of State Into Action.* A hockey tourney, the first in the history of the two cities, will be staged by Butte and Anaconda teams at Lake Avoca a week from Sunday, it was announced here last night. J. Boucher, a veteran booster of the game and manager of the Anaconda club, will have full charge of a tournament on the frozen card that will also have added life for the winners of prizes. Boucher's and Murphy-Bodfly's of Butte and the Western Athletic club and Old Timers' team of Anaconda have been formally invited to the session that will battle for cash prizes. Games will be staged with teams from Butte also invited to join in. The aggregations of Butte will tussle with any of the teams of recognized fame have taken up the puck game in the community. While the sport has had a big following in Butte since the days when the ice palaces were held for daily play, a tournament has never been held, and now that the great Canadian leagues have taken up their homes in Butte—and Anaconda's local athletic talent have developed as stars of the game. The contests next Sunday will bring out two Butte teams and two Anaconda teams. Boucher said the Anaconda Washos athletic team include experienced players with the best men playing in the Montana league play since its [illegible] days. The Old Timers of organized in Anaconda, have Oliver La Page, who ranks high as a goal tender, and Albert Boucher, star forward, and are expected to be one of the teams in the Anaconda team. The Murphy-Bodily team has a personnel of stars, starting to have begun the game three years ago at Lake Avoca where the club formed an interior team organization. The Italians of the smelter city have had great records from early Italian skill, and the Juniors are two of the likeliest-looking of these in the eastern section. Because Anaconda skaters will be trying out for a grand trophy at the carnival first Sunday, the game be staged for next Sunday which will be the 11th and the opening of more since that day, has been postponed, the Murphy-Bodily club, who have starred in the Anacondans, it was announced yesterday. ### FAST DEFENSE ADMITTEDLY BEST FACTOR IN BASEBALL Although ball players, as a rule, care little about field fielding averages, but are really interested in the manufacture of base hits for money, admitted that the fast-fielding team is the one generally at the top of the column in the matter of high batting feats. It was good pitching, backed up by a fast fielding crew, that won the pennant for the Chicago White Sox, back in the days when the corps showed the effective work of George Rube on defense. Good infield work has been admitted to be worth to a winning team with the fox in the world's series that [illegible]. The expression, "Tinker to Evers to Chance," is used even today as a symbolic of speedy work on the diamond. For a matter of two years Tinker and Johnny Evers were such bitter personal enemies that they refused to speak to each other, on or off the field. Yet they combined to work together so well that this lack of comradeship never had been felt either in their brilliant play around the second station. They were introduced again to each other the day. "Joe and I had a falling out," said Chance, "and we would not talk to each other at all, even on the ball field. But we did signal and we used to pull off a lot of double plays and often I did not know how it was possible to make, I believe this was so because that Evers knew every play in the game and when we signaled they after a ball hit between the two of them head. They not only had splendid teamwork, but Joe was the best batter and a fast outfield and one of the most effective infields ever put to— nearly always went through." --- ## Peripheral items - **Bowling scores column (Marquette Bowling):** Commercial league scores for Chicago League and Montana Power teams listed in tabular format, lower left column 1. - **"Visit No Bearing on Draft Argument" brief item:** San Francisco dateline, Thomas J.
