HUGHES GIVES HIS VIEWS ON PRESENT BALL SITUATION LOUGKRAN WINS MOST VICIOUS BATTLE OF HIS RING CAREER places had ball teams last year and Bobby Jones Turns Down Gift Of Home Have Entrants In Rotary Golf DEL MONTE, Jan. 7. Many Ro tary clubs of central California have entered players in the Rotary 18-h'ole medal play golf tournament at Del Monte on Sunday, January 8.

League To Start Wednesday Eve President Henry Kaiser of the city basketball league is congratu lating himself that he will be able to start the reason of league games on next Wednesday evening instead of the week following. The schedule committee has ar ranged for the first series of games and the event will be featured by the first appearance of the Druids, who are to tackle the Galloping Ghosts, another baby organization in a floor ramble.

If the Ghosts can show any of the speed of the four famous horsemen of Notre Dame, the lodge men will be in for a 'merry evening of it. The Druids are composed of former high school "grads" and for captain have G. liorradori, short in statue but lightning fast on his feet as a forward. The Huskies, champions of last year are to figure in the final game of the evening with the Huskies. With Linstedt still in their lineup, the Huskies have a tower of strength in the pivot position at center.

At that the Moose look good in practice and may surprise. With the league looking much stronger than last year, the fans are due to see a real feast of the indoor game for the balance of the year. All games will be played on Wednesday evenings in order not to interfere with the schedule of the C. C. A.

L. Ail preliminary games will start at 7:30 p. m. See Victory Six W. H.

Crowe Sons' salesrooms will be open Saturday evening until 9 o'clock and Sunday morning from 9 to 12 to accommodate those who have been unable to view the Dodge Brothers' Victory Six. advt. Hy SANDOWl The News was not beating along the wrong trail when it took occasion to remark last night that independent ball will be the diet that fans will have to feast on during the coining season. While hibernating for some weeks past, C. W.

Hughes, local baseball impresario, was pretty much in evidence yesteday and provided some pre-season information that will be of interest to fans as well as players who have been indulging in more or less guess work. "So far as league ball is concerned I wish to go on record as saying I am not in favor of it," and later Mr. Hughes said, "and I do not intend to even attend any state or central league gatherings that may be held either in San Jose or San Francisco. "I really believe the fans favor independent ball," further declared Mr. Hughes.

"By playing Independent ball it will be possible to furnish fans with continuous Sunday and holiday games, and with an early season start, it would be possible to play from thirty to thirty-five games before the season came to a close. "With the Padres figuring in a league they would be on the road nearly half of the time and that's where the rub comes in. "Independent ball looks good to me. Santa Cruz can easily book the best semi-professional teams that do not care to play in the hot interior cities. "All teams want to come to Santa Cruz and the matter of scheduling high class teams will be the least of my troubles.

Xc Players Signed "And contrary to reports, no play ers have been signed up as yet by the Padres. I likewise want to go on record as saying that I am not opposed to home talent. The most promising will be given a chance and I will get in touch with tnose i deem fast enough to make the grade. "I have already seon Sam Ralston and look to see the fence buster back if he does not decide to quit the game. "Other prospects I have in view are Harry Martin, Choisser, War-renburg, Frey, Rowan nnd perhaps Skillicorn." OutKido Talent "Of course I figure on some outside talent and two of these will be a first class catcher and a first class pitcher to help out in the box.

"Dick Cleary is certain to be a fixture on the team and so will Gene Valla if I can possibly sign him up." When yours truly asked Mr. Hughes if he had heard of any opposition, he only smiled. "Yes, I have heard of such rumors but that Is no source of worry, whether it is a reality or just some phantom idea to start some excitement. A ball team in Aptos or Fulton will not affect Santa Cruz. In fact it will be a good idea, as it will help to develop players, and that is iust what the game needs.

These it did not hurt attendance wneu i Padres started to win games. "You may also say for me, he went on, "that the ball season will be started early this coming season. It is my intention to have the home squad start drilling in February which will give ample time to whip the players into shape for the opening games early in March." Now that Mr. Hughes has given his outline of the baseball situation, it is up to all' loyal fans to. line up behind him and help to make- it possible for him to put a semi-professional team in the field, second to none in the state.

Many Hunters To Make Trip Tidewater fishing for steelhead showing an. improvement, this line of outdoor sport is bound to attract moro than the usual number of stream fishermen tomorrow. While few fish were taken from the coast streams during the week, a number of fine steelhead were caught In the San Lorenzo. Over at Moss Landing the latest bulletin is to the effect that striped bass are increasing in numbers as well as size. Duck shooting at this point is uncertain, but there are plenty of mudhens to waste ammunition on in the Salinas river.

With the duck season closing on January 15th, nearly all the membership of the Santa Cruz Gun club will be represented nt their preserve at Los Banos. Many are listing to make the trip tomorrow with J. E. O'Connor and an early morning start will be made for the hunting grounds. Rain kept many hunters ut home last week-end and the result was the birds were not kept on the wing and limit bags were not as large as they might have been.

Some of the Santa Cruzans will re- 'main over for the Monday hunting. Polo Practice For Tomorrow With the Rotarlan golf five featuring in the tournament play at Del Monte tomorrow, there will not be the usual activity on the local links although there will bo Inter-club play that will be open to all visitors. With turf conditions better on the Aptos playing field, opportunity will be given some of the local polo chuckers to get in action and give their ponies much needed exercise and accustom them to the playing field. With President Deming Wheeler still absent in Santa Barbara, the matter of arranging games and attending to other details has not been given much attention. As soon as Mr.

Wheeler puts in appearance, no time will be lost in preparing for active competition with outside teams. NEW YORK, Jan. 7 (P) Tommy Loughran continued to hold sway over tha light-heavyweight domain today by virtue of a decision after a fierce struggle in which Leo Lomski, of Aberdeen, at one time had the pride of Philadelphia hitting the rosin dust. Two battering fists, packed with dynamite, knocked Loughran down twice for the count of nine in the first round of a fifteen-round title engagement in Madison Square Garden last night, while a packed patronage of 15,000 enthusiasts roared at the prospective crowning a new champion. Hut a courageous heart and ring mastery served the well, tiding him over the had start and eventually enabling him to wear Lomski down in ten of the remaining rounds to take the decision and retain the title.

As Loughran said afterwards, it was the most vicious battle, of his career and- he had to call upon all the science of his trade to pull him through. The knockdowns were the first scored against Loughran since he was floored by Gene Tun-ney in a bout at Philadelphia five years ago. Lomski waged a furious combat, tiring somewhat in the closing stanzas. Loughran ripped a solid right to Lomski's head in the eighth round which opened a cut under Leo's left eye. The wound bled freely and slowed up the challenger's attack.

Washington Is Not Fearful About 1928 (Note. This Is the fifth of a series of stories on the 1928 prospects of major league chilis.) WASHINGTON, D. Jan. 7. (JP) The potential power of the New York Yankees has not shattered the morale of the Washington American league club, and both President Griffith and Manager Bucky Harris are going about preparing for the 1928 campaign without shivering at the mention of the name of Miller HugginH' formidable array of stars.

Even with the absence of Walter Johnson, Harris believes that in Lisenbee, Hadley, Van Alstyne. Sad Sam Jones, Zachary, Marherry. Burke, Braxton, Gaston and several promising pitchers from the minor leagues, he has the best mound staff in the league. This group, wisely divided between left handers and right handers, also has been selected with a due regard to having a few seasoned men, along with those of less experience. Hadley and Lisenbee are now looked upon by the club as being in the star class.

Strength has been added to the infield by the acquisition of George Sisler, who, according to Griffith, will alternate with Judge at first base. Wise Washington fans, however, cannot see a player of Judge's caliber kept on the bench at any time, and expect that he will be used in a trade to strengthen the club elsewhere. The other positions on the in-infiejd are assigned tentatively to Harris, Reeves and Bluege, but the club has several minor league youngsters for duty on the inner works, notably Gillis from Birmingham. The outfield trio of Rice, Speaker and Goslin is backed up by West and Ganzel, the latter having batted for more than .400 in quite an extended period of play last year. Tentatively Speaker has been assigned to the outfield, but few expect him to remain with the team for another season.

East- West Contend Over Grid Honors SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7. (JP) Another gridiron clash with an "East-West" angle is to take place here tomorrow when Benny Friedman and his Cleveland Bulldogs tangle with a team headed by Ernie Nevers and "Tut" Imlay, supported by a largely far western line. This will be the second professional foot ball game of the season in San Fran cisco, the first having been played IBy SANDOWl The Watsonville Wildcats, not quite so ferocious as their name would indicate, were here last night and rambled on the high school gym floor in a pre-season game with the Cardinals. Incidentally, the home shooters won in quite decisive fashion by a score of 17 to 10, in a game that while a trifle slow at times, furnished plenty of excitement for the fans.

The Cardinals were a trifle off color at the start and the cat family were not slow in gaining a three point lead. Coach Morrison had his regulars in action most of the time and they gave an accurate exhibition of passing for most of the time and their fast floor work was a puzzle to the visiting hoop shooters. Coach Briggs risked no chances in using all his first string players in a practice game and Gregerson, Pellisier, Lister and Richardson watched the game from the side lines. Of course when the same teams meet in the regular league game in February, the Wildcats hope to reverse matters. A big factor in the Santa Cruz win was Sebe Caldwell, even if he did have a hard time in locating the basket.

His passing was good and was further set off by puzzling dribbling tactics. Mann and Stevens played a fine defensive game and the ever reliable Bud Beasley was also present, and so were Antonetti and Carl Camis, all of them helping to bring victory. The visiting lightweights were hopelessly outclassed and the baby Cardinals swamped them to the tune of 22 to 8. Watsonville fans received some consolation when Coach Estill's midgets came through with flying colors. After the dust of battle had cleared away the score was 20 to 4 in favor of Watsonville.

A tumbling exhibition by high school students had a tendency, to lend color to the intermission between games. Gehrig Gets Better Deal With Yankees NEW YORK, Jan. 7. (JP) Lou Gehrig, who made an exciting home run race for Babe Ruth last season, has signed on the dotted line with Colonel Jacob Ruppert of the New York Yankees for three more years. Just what price the first baseman accepted was not disclosed but reports current placed the salary at $25,000 for a season.

That would be a little more than a third of what the big Bambino himself is drawing down per annum. Gehrig's pay last 1 season is understood to have been about $8000, but in addition to that he received a bonus for smacking forty-seven home runs which were just thirteen under Ruth's banner mark. Columbia Lou is twenty-four. Americans Abandon Chicago Cycle Race LEIPSIG, Jan. 7.

(JP) Realizing the hopelessness of the American teams position in the six-day bicycle race, Harry Kaiser of New York, gave up after the 25th hour. Frank Hecnan of Boston, his teammate, will act as a substitute in case another team breaks down. The Italian team, Girandemo- Nigrini, continued in the lead this morning. Frank McMillan has been called back to Chicago after he had only been west a short time from here. He took the overland limited today.

Family Economy In Food Costs Can Be Found by "Eating Out" COOKING AT HOME IS NOT AS INEXPENSIVE AS IT 0 KTIMBS SEEMS. "WE COOK WELL AND SERVE WELL, AND CHAIIGE REASONABLY. CLOCK CAFE GAME Br B. D. MARX GKEENB Former Executive Officer California Fih and Game Commlukm As shown in the previous article, the draught, therefore, on our fish and game has increased beyond all conception.

The balance of nature has been so upset that man-made aids, such as game farming and fish planting, cannot keep pace with the demand. Nature also has been against us. Drought conditions and floods have taken their toll. Flooded areas where formerly birds might breed and rest have now been drained; conversely, dry areas have been flooded. Power and irrigation pro jects dry our streams and place artificial barriers to stop the natural run of fish to the spawning grounds.

The complexities of modern civilisation have combined to multiply our difficulties. It will be the scope of these articles to attempt to show the most advanced methods now being inaugurated throughout the country to restore our fish and game. I shall treat of the control measures necessary. For example, partial and totally closed seasons; bag limits; size limits; sex protection; methods of capture; game refuges; fish refuges; predatory animal control; prohibition of new species; building up native stock; fish rescue work; and last, but not least, education and cooperation. The fortunate thing about all conservation laws concerning fish and game is that they are founded upon the legal principal that the fish and game belong to the people of each state in their sovereign capacity.

Each legislature can, therefore, make such laws as are necessary to perpetuate its own wild life. No citizen ever, individually, acquires title to fish or game except upon the terms laid down by the state. A man may not hunt, even upon his own land, without permission from the state. If possession of a certain animal is forbidden in a state, it may not be imported from another state where its taking is legal. Building up from that principal we all, as citizens and joint owners of all fish and game, are vitally inter ested in its propagation and protec tion.

This, I think, explains the newly awakened interest in conser vation. He who illegally takes fish and game injures his fellow citi zens and all posterity. Fish and game laws are unlike those other iso-ca'lled "blue laws' fostered by fanatics, which forbid the individual to do something which injures neither himself or others. Each citizen is now consti tuting himself a specia warden of the state's property to preserve it for himself and posterity. It is a new era with rich promise for the future.

Witness the volunteer wardens throughout the country aiding the regular patrol, working long hours without pay, traveling miles without expenses, and sacrificing vacations for the cause of conser vation. America can well feel proud of her sons rallying to the flag of con servation. I'ImIi mill (iaine lople. Atlilrexx him piiiiriH r.uuor, hum iitipr, enrloH-iiiK Ki-lf-nililrexxeil, Mtampril envelope.

Rod And Gun Club To Resume Meetings After a vacation of several months, during which time the sportsmen have been busy with deer, duck and quail shooting, the Santa Cruz Rod and Gun club is to resume its regular meetings next Tuesday evening at the chamber of commerce.

Much business necessarily has accumulated during their period of inactivity and this, together with plans for the 1928 membership campaign, will occupy their attention. The Associated Sportsmen's Clubs of California will hold their annual convention in Santa Cruz during the fall of 1928, and this matter will also demand attention from the members. KRKI) MAY DISCLOSE PLAXS PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7. (JP) Political observers were anticipant of some classification of the Democratic presidential nomination situ ation with the announcement, tnrlav of U.

S. Senator James A. Reed's ac ceptance of an invitation to speak at the Jackson day dinner here on mo, NEW YORK, Jan. 7. (JP) Bobby Jones-has declined with thanks the $50,000 home given him by Atlanta friends.

His announcement to that effect came simultaneously with 'another from the United States Golf association saying his acceptance of the gift in no way violated his standing as an amateur golfer. In reaching his decision, the holder of the British open and national amateur golf championships said: he Interests of our great game will be best served if I do not retain the home." The house was not already constructed, however. A committee had charge of the arrangements and was to work out the plans. Jones' acceptance caused considerable comment in England where golfing circles gossiped that no Britisher could have received such a present and continued as an amateur. Reports had been current that the status of the champion would come into the discussion of the annual meeting of the Golf association today at which Bobby was down for a post on the executive committee, having been nominated recently.

W. G. Fownes, president of the association, made the following statement: "The executive committee has considered the proposed gift of a home to Robert T. Jones, from his friends at Atlanta and has fully investigated the facts. The execu tive committee has decided that the acceptance of the gift by him is not in violation of the association's rule governing amateur status." Jones' statement: "The action of the United States Golf association approving the gift to me of a home by my friends has been brought to my attention.

This action confirms my understanding of the amateur rule. "At the time the gift was tendered and accepted I had no thought that it was not entirely proper. I have since reached the conclusion that the interests of our great game will be best served if I do not retain the home. "I am taking this action with due appreciation and gratitude to my friends for their generous expression." Cermak Determined On Tunney Boxing CHICAGO, Jan. 7.

(fP) More than three weeks ahead of the zero hour, on February 1, when Gene Tunney's contract with Tex Rickard is scheduled to start developing, A. J. Carmak set out today to dicker with Tunney for a match in Chica go next June 30. Cermak and his lawyers expect to go over the Rickard contract with microscopes looking for some clause that will permit. Tunney to fight under auspices other than Rickard's this summer, and if this loophole Is discovered, Cermak said today before leaving for Palm Beach, he expects Tunney to sign on the spot for the match.

Cermak has associated with him in the venture much the same group, except for Mayor William Hale Thompson and George Gettz, that put over the $2,600,000 Soldier Field fight last September. The name of Jack Delaney is the only one bandied around here as Tunney's probable opponent, but Jim Mullen, the promoter who will handle the match making, if any, said today it was too early to talk of the party of the second part. Boxing experts after reading the scathing criticism of Jack Dempsey by Paul Prehn, new chairman of the Illinois state athletic commission, were of the opinion that Dempsey would not be considered. Says War Action Is Latin Threat WASHINGTON Jan 7 iaragua were included in a protest to President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, by Ricardo A.
