Just about the biggest doal ever attempted in Canadian hockey history is this pre- sent raid of the Pacific Coast Hook- cy League Association, in retaliation for the stealing of Ernie Johnson, Harry Hyland and Don Smith by Sam Lich tenhein of the Montreal Wanderers. It is nothing more nor less than the purchase of an entire hockey team, the Quebec glub, holders of the Stan ley Cup and champions of Canada. Already threo of the Ancient City club s negulars have fallen for the monetary inducements olfered by British Columbia, and it-looks as though the Pacific Coast maguates will be successful in carrying off the entire team. ANOOHER QUEBEC STAR COMING. From Quebec last night came the information-that Jack MeDonald, the left. wing of the Stanlet cupholders, had joined Prodgers, the star point player, and Ed Oatman, the buskv. Tight wing, in their migration to the coast, The loss. of McDonald Jeaves Quebee with only Paddy Moran, goal- tender; Malone. centre, and Jos Hall, coverpoint. The two former are Quebec boys, Ext they have fat of fers, which they are considering, and it would not be surprising if both of them the champions. Moran is oe hte ucolaa out this. way, a3 the coast clubs are filled up with goaltenders, but in order to complete the wrecking of the Quebeo club he may be brought along anyway. The Patricks hav increased their former offer to Malone, and it Jooks almost a certainty thab he will come west. Hall is now in Brandon, bat it is hear likely that he will be invited Vth the Quchee lt;lib sb at to pieces the National Hockey Assosiation will haye a sorry time paying expenses this season The two Toronto, clubs KDA Plan of Patrick League Pacific Coast Magnates Endeavoring to Take the En- From the National Hockey Deal Yet. are bound to be weak members of the league, while the Canadiens, if they lose Pitrie and Layiolotte, who re booked for the New Westminster team, will also cut but little. figure in the championship argument. Ot- tawa is still strong, but the Patricks have taken Fred Taylor from the Senators, and they propose to fur- ther weaken them by enticing Skene Ronan, the great centre and captain of the Ottawas, west. A handsome offer was sent to Ronan today, andit so big that there hardly seems a chance for the Ottawas to meet it. The Patricks intend to make the various clubs in the National Hockey Assoviation see the absurdity of let one Sam Lichtenhein boss the Teagte. Until the National Association voted with Lichtenhein, the Patricks abided by their promise not to bother the various clubs. Lester Patrick could have stolen. a bunch of players before but he gave his word, on the understanding that there would be a. hockey commis- sion, not to raid the various clubs, and it was not till Sam Lichtenhein threw down the gauntlat that the coast magnates took action. Now they are going to it with a yeng- cance, and it is quite probable that the. eastern clubs will s e the error of their way at the special mecting of the National Hockey Associ which is called to consider the situa tion., That should be a nice pleasant sosiable gathering, by the way, and Mr. Lichtenhein js apt to hear a lot about himself he never knew before. REORGANIZATION OF COAST TEAMS. With so many eastern stars com- ing to the coast it will be necesgary to reconstruct the coast and for this reason there will beta speo- ial meeting of- the league here next week. Lester Patrick came over to the city today to confer with brother Frank on the situation. HENDRIX SCARED INTO REAL STAR Pirate Twirler Was Careless Until He Feared Bat Over the Head. This is just a stray Dit of baseball gossip to enliven the sessions of that inevitable winter institution the Stove League. s Claude Hendrix, the youthfui pitch- ing star of the Pittsburgh Pirates who in his second year in profession- at Bgseball 1912 was one of the leading twirlers of the National Lea- gue, is a banker's son a young man of leisure it-he cared to be. Pitching for a seml-pro team in Kansas, his home State, Hendrix at tracted the attention of Fred Clarke, manager of the Pirates. Fred knows balk piayer at a glance. Hendrix could also play football, but the dia mond game was his Jong suit. Clarke, a prosperous Kansas ranch- man in the off-season, knew Hend- Yik s father as s neighbor, and when the big, ruddy cheeked lad joined the Buecanecrs in 1911, Clarke, because of his friendliness with Dad Hend- rix, was In a way a guardian as well as manager, Fred had a personal as well as a professional interest in the youngster. On th training trip the Kid , as the other Pirates called him, looked good. He bac the physique, and -still, tL2 head. While he prov ve the mediocre in 1911, hi brilliant work was only in flashes. And here is the reason. Like many other youths not dependent on their vocations, Hendrix didn't take his job seriously. Being identified with one of the best teams in the country, and with the privilege of working oc- casionally,. he looked on. the whole proposition as a sort of . picnic a first class diversion, He wasn t a shirker. He simply lacked that do or die spirit born of necesaity. Clarke saw that weakness and set about to correct it, knowing that the Kid had the stuff-and the nerve. The climax came while the Pirates were on the Eastern trip in the latter part of the 1911 season, Hendrix was pitching, and the other fellows were touching him up rather lively. Finally he: was found for a triple with three men on bases... When he re- turned to the bench after the side had been retired he was smiling as though he had just fanned three men: He stuck his glove in his hip pock. et, took a drink of water, and look- ing at Manager Clarke, sald: Wasn't that triple a daisy? That fellow canght that ball square on the nose. Gee it was a beaut Then he chuckled again. Clarke looked him through a way Fred has and said: : Say you, if they make another one Mike that, you'll get a bat over your head. Do you understand? EB Hendrix apparently understood, it last season's work is a criterion. WILL ATALETICS RECORDS REACH THE FINAL LMT? Records Are pieing Continu- ally Breken Whieh Gives Rise to Natural Query. With the holding of every track and field meet at which the star-men of the country ate contestants, many from man than to give one. The incompetency of men who hold watches and tapes in inter-scholastic meetings is, and has been, responsi- ble for many records which have stood for years, Vault Mark Raised Four Feet. Leese than fifteen years ago a pole vault of 9 feet 9 inches was consider- ed a great performance, This height was a record in many sections of the 1 he mark has been boost. d gradually until at the present time it is 18 feet, 1 inch. bela by Gardner, of Yale, who made the marx perioma are at a loss to understand how. th athletes can keep on Ic ing Tecorga which a few years were cor There Fe, some who assem thal records are acquired too easily.

Just how high the vaulters will be able to Dar js matter of conjec- feet in the alr isa a For those who realize how high it ts, let them distance, Then they will recognize how difficult it is to get over the bar at such a height. Never before in the history of ama- will find themselves in the ruck In an important track and field event. The performance of Reldpath of Syracuse University in covering the distance in forty-eight seconds is womething un- fexoelled on a quarter-mile track. When J, B, Taylor, the negro run- ner of the University of Pennsylvania covered the distance in 48 4-5 and es- a new eastern intercolleg- ate, rd the dopesters thought that mark would stand for years. It did stand the onslaughts for three years, Dut the four.fitths of a second which Reldpath clipped off Have brought it down to a point where it seems sure to stand for some time to come. Ira Davenport, th gr at runner of the University of Chicago, holds the western intercollegiate record for the quarter at 48'4-5, When the Maroon made this mark he was not pushed and he undoubtedly would have gone faster had he been pushed to the lim- t of his physical powers. Daven- port is a sturdily built runner who does nt know how fast he can go. He always has something in- reserve, and for the last two years has won the quarter and half mile races on the same day in the intercollegiates. The improvement of records may be attributed to the, scientific stuay which the coxches and trainers are making of track-and field athletics. Years ago baseball and football were in crude states of development, but they gradually have improved through a scientific process until they have reached their present stage. Track and field athletics: are at present. 50- ing through ip, the stimulus which the Olympic games lt;have added is in'a way res porsible for the development. OUTLAW TALK BEING REVIVED Pittsburgh, Nov, 29. Capt. Marshail Henderson and William T. McCul- lough, Pittsburg promoters of the United States Baseball League, are determined to revive the outlaw or- ganization and establixh an ight-club control, of Which Pittsburg will be the eastern limit and Kansas City the western outpost.

Deucon Charles Philippi, manager, Pittsburg. This is but an outline of the plans upon which Capt, Henderson and Mc- Cullough have been at work for six weeks. Cincinnati, Cleveland, Minneapolis and Indianapolis are mentioned, too, as cities in which it is intended: to put, United States teams. WITH THE BOXERS.
