GIVING WEST CREDIT.
Eastern Football Critics Gradually
Waking Up.

Eastern football critics are still prone
to overlook the real merit OF intercol-
leg1ate athletics III the middle West, but
II the sele ton Of Their all-AmeGlca teams
this season it is shown that the devei-
olment in this section is gradually fore
Ing broader recognition from the au-
tnoritieS on the Atlantic seaboard.
Caspar Whitney, in his review of tho
football season in the Outing, for the
second time in his career gives a West
ern man place on the all-America team,
the place going to Neil Snow. of Michi-
gar, as an end.
He also gives Larson and Curtis, OF
Wisconsin, positions on his second eleven
at halfback and tackle respectively, and
moro important than all, in the ranking
OF the elevens of the country for the first
time he officially admits the infallibility
the East. Harvard heads the list, with
Yale second, but Michigan and Wiscon-
sin follow, in third and fourth positions,
With West Point fifth, Princeton sixth,
Cornell seventh. Pennsylvania twelfth,
Minnesota thirteenth, Northwestern six
| teenth, Illinois seventeenth, Chicago
eighteenth and Iowa nineteenth.
In the ranking of the teams leading
Western critics are rare who will admit
that Michigan or Wisconsin should be
| ranked behind Yale. and the placing OF
Minnesota behind Pennsylvania is also
decidedly questionable. Even as the rank
ing stands, however, it IS a decided in,
| ncvation from previous selections With
the one exception Of Cunningham, OF
Michigan, who was made center in 1898,
Snow is the first northeastern man to re-
ceive place on any Of Whitney's all
America elevens.
IN the ethics of the game Whitney adj
niits that the middle West is ahead Of
the East. AS it was the East that started
to teach ethics to the West, with Whit
ney as self-appointed agent, the acknowl-

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-"According to my

McNally the Cornishman has been TAX

grin. Il heard from Soden relative to the
contents of the letter. and he assured me
that it2contained merely a statement that
the baseball matter was in the courts
and that he was perfectly satisfied To-
let it remain there until decision was
reached. That's all the mystery there is
to that document The Boston club is
fighting for principle, just as the New
York club is contending for one
In connection with this assertion
Charles III. Ebbets, president OF the
Brooklyn club, stated today that the
Brooklyn club was irrevoeably pledged
to the support Of A. G. Spalding and
would stand by him to the end.
Mr.. Spalding says that if the worst
comes to the worst he can get baseball

 The trouble has only arisea since the return of MT. Cribbs, who arrived 8 few days ago, after an absence of nearly two years. At the time he went 10 Nome, in 1900. the partner, Mir. Rogers, was lett in charge of the Dawson house, it having been the in- tention of Mir. cribbs to establish q store in Nome. He did so, remaining there until last fall when he returned to the States and came in over the ice last month. Mir. Rogers remained in Dawson until last summer, when he, too, went to Nome, leaving the busi- ness here in charge of his brother.

Tug of War Last Night,

Excitement ran high last evening at the Standard theatre when the For. Davis lightweights deteated the Nome Volunteer Fire department team in a tug of war pull of 10 minutes, by one quarter of an inch. The teams were evenly matched, neither side having any advantage of the drop. The calls thenic dvll by nine picked men of the lth Infantry at tolt Davis. was unique and interesting. being the first of it's kind ever before given on public ex- hib,tiOn in Alaska.
 When the Canadians and Sour Coughs lined up for the first pull Of a series of best two out three, q glance was enough to satisfy the spectators that the winning team would have to do some work. Signals of 20, 30, 40; l. C. ]; A. E. II: and others came galore from the respective coaches, adding amusement to the contest. After steady pulling for 9 minutes, the Can adians rallied and gained and held a quarter of an inch.
 J. Eliason of Fort Davis, dressed in about six suits of clothes, mounted the slack rope, undressed, and swung In- dian clubs in an exceedingly clever manner. A song by F. NJ. kieselle also ot Fort Davis, was also we'll received.
 The second pull by the Canadians and Sour DOughs settled all dispute in favor of the Canadians, they winning by l. inches. Having won two ,tra ght heats, the third was unnecessary. The purse was $2J0.00 and 7a per cent. of the gate receipts. +. 5. Ryan acted as master of ceremonies and time keeper, and Geo. H. Dawson was referee.

Makes His Third Overland
 Trip to Nome.
HE BROUGHT MAIL
Captain Bales Cane From IIiamna in Charge of the Mail, the Contract For Carrying Which Has Been Let to the Trans Alaska Company.

Captain L. l.. Bales, the well-known Alaska explorer, musher and curiO col leclor, reached Nome from Seattle on Sunday night. Captain Bales is an old interior of the Kuskol1w i'm country better than most white men. In the past year he has made three round trips between Nome and Seattle by way of the kuskollwim and has accom- plished his journeys in remarkably short time.
 This last trip, however, was hard one. He left Seattle on January and reached Iliamna bay in good time. He left that place on January r, in com pany with the horse teams of the Trans Alaska Company and mail. The trip from Ilamra To the Yukon with horses was severe one. For 33 days open, wet weather was encountered: the rivers and smaller streams were over flowed, and bridges had to be built in many places. This accounts for the length of time consumed in reaching the Yukon.
 Captain Bales brought in a small am' unt of mail. mostly private. A mail which should reach Nome today is ir charge oi George Fredericks and Claud Sherburne. Following it, prob ably not more than 36 h." urs behind, is auolher consignment in charge of Post office inspe ctor kimball, of St. Michael All this mail was dispatched from Iliamna by the Trans-Alaska Company 5 route.
 The company has 60 head of horses and loo men at work on the trail, build ing bridges, road houses and the like. The town of Iliamna, on Hanna bay. has about lO0 people, Il two-story hotel, owned by the Trans-Alaska Company; q big store, office and other buildings. The town is distant from Iliamna lake about 20 miles.
 Webster Brown, an engineer of the Trans-A laska Company, froze both hands early in January, and it was found that he would lose them. Brown went 10 Seattle for treatment.
 Captain Bales is awaiting the arrival of the incoming mail, when he will leave for Iliamna, carrying United States mail for outside points.
 Miners are at work on Stony river, tributary of the Kuskokwim. Captain Bales is reticent as to what prospects had been found there.
