went to Chicago, where betting In pool
rooms was running on a bigger scale.
At that time ''Phil'' was operating on the
system that he followed all through his
career. He avoided risking his money on
short priced favorites but chose, rather to
watch the developments of the horses and
play them when. in his Judgment. they were
due to win and when they were quoted at
liberal odds. He didn't win majority of
the races he played. but as his losses
mounted up. so did his winnings. until a
final winner brought back to him consid-
erably more money than he had parted
with on his unsuccessful choices.
How He Got His Sobriquet
1t was in Riley's big pool room in Chi
cago that the name Pittsburg Phil was be-
slowed upon him. He was unknown when
he bought his first choice In an auction
pool. and Riley asked him what his name
VS..
smith" was the answer.
Owing to the scarcity of Smiths here
come FROM said the pool room keeper.
"Pittsburg." replied Smith.
Then I'll call you Pittsburg Phil de-
clared Riley. That's your name here, so
be sure and don't forget it,
The name stuck to him all through life.
In Chicago Phil continued to win large
amounts. and his reputation as cool and
nervy plunger spread In 1885 he began to
frequent the race tracks instead of the pool
rooms, and then his judgment of racers be-
gan to be recognized. He was able ap-
parently. TO watch every horse in the race
and note the gradual Improvement in
horses that did not finish in the money.
When he thought that such horse was
due to win he bet on 1t for large amount.
and many of his largest clean-ups were
made in this way. Other race track fol-
lowers watched his operations and predict
ed that he would go broke some day; but
he didn't. Those who tried to follow his
bets did, however, for they didn't have the
bank roll to plunge and recoup losses as
Phil did.
The plunger came east in 1887, and his
success continued for that season. His
reputation preceded him and was increased
when the stories of his big winnings were
repeated The following year he had the
worst luck of his career and his bank roll
was conSderab bly, diminished at one time,
but Phil never lost confidence in his own
Judgment. He continued his high play and
won back all that he had lost, and more
Two years later he started a racing stable
of his own, and his brother William trained
for him. He won $4,000 on single race
with his horse King CadmuS. and cleaned
up more than $4,000 on the success OF
Paryenue. which was one of the best thor
oughbredS he ever owned.
With Second-rate horses Smith continued
until 1896 when he sold out his string and
replaced them with better horses. The fol-
lowing spring he won the Brooklyn Handi-
cap with Howard Mann, horse which had
been trained early in the morning and was
little thought of before the race. Phil won
$4,000 on that race and it came in handy.
He was $S6,Oo0 behind when the season Of
1896 closed. and at one time his losses
amounted to $500 but several coups re-
duced them. The Brooklyn of 1897 changed
his luck back. and the year showed a profit
of $500 600. of which $4,000 was the result
of four winners in a single day.

FAIR BANKS IN LINE

The Fairbanks News, the lusty and vigorous newspaper of the young and buoyAnt met ropolis of the Panama val ley and champion of those who are making great and powerful another rich section of Alaska, has declared in clarion tones in favor of territorial gov ernment. It had to be so. A people competent of doing what has been done at Fairbanks in the last two years could not tolerate any other doctrine, nor could men, loyal to truth, possessing the ability required to make as good pa. per ss the News fail to grasp the log ic of the situation.

GOOD ONE
This Will Be News to Base
 blllists of Skagway
Seattle Star, May 9.)

The crack White Pass Athletic club baseball team of Skagway, which IS looked upon as the champions of Alas ka will tour the Pacific coast states this summer.
 No date has yet been decided upon at which the team will arrive in Seattle, but it is stated by AlsskanS arriving from the north that the team will reach here some time during the latter part of July or the first part of August
 A. engagements will be made for the team to play in Seattle. la all llkeli- hood the Alaskans will line up against the Frederick and Nelson team of this city for a series of games. Manager Webb, of the Frederick and Nelson team, has expressed his willingness to meet all corners from the north while they are in Seattle.
 Last season the Skagway team cleaned up every hing it went up against. Owing to the great distance between that city and the expense at' tached to bringing a team either from Dawson to Skagway or vice versa, no series of games can with profit be ar ranged between those two fast aggre- gaiionS.
 Dawson plays speedy game but she is not looked upon as travelling in the same company with Skagway. In her pitching staff, Skagway has bunch of twir!ers which will give any men in the amateur class a run for their money. O'Brieu is a bush leaguer from Southern California, while Barra- gar and Oleson have always made repu- tatious with the amateurs in the states,
 Capt. Ed Barry, who holds down the short stop position, is as fast as they make 'em. That little fellow scampers around the diamond like scared cat on the top of fance. Barry is without doubt the best short stop in Alaska and could hold his own with many of them in the states.
 Skagway will, however, be handi- capped by the loss of Sanford, who played left field for the team last year. Sanford was there with the stick and as ''pirch" hitter led the bunch. Busi- ress compelled Sandford to return to Seattle, where he will remain indef- initely. Sanford won many games for Skagway by lambasting out a timely hit when the souses were needed to bring iu the runs. Capt. Barry states that the team would also make arrange ments to play a series at the Lewis and Clark exposition.

PoRrLANp's CAMPAIGN

Portland, Oregon, is just entering what will be one of the warmest munic- ipsl campaigns that ever has been wsged in that city of hot politics. The republicans have renominated the pres ent mayor, George H. Williams, after 6 hard fight between those who favor a "wide open" town and the closed town advocates. The venerable mayor received the support of the former ele- mens and he was nominated by lOOO plurality in the republican primary. The closed town element now threatens to place an independent candidate in the field.
 The condition has encouraged the democrats to hope for repetition of several Portland contests where repub- lican division has resulted in victory for them. They have nominated pr. Harry Lane, s popular and capable young dentist, for mayor and will make q lively campaign.
 George a. Williams, the republican nominee, is one of the most distin- guished citizens of the west, and easily the leading character in his state. He He is a remarkable man. He passed the allotted three score and 10 years long ago, but he is still hale and hearty. He was attorney general in the cabinet of President Grant just after the war and was a member of the tribunal which settled the Alabama claims ar bitrasiou. He was nominated 10 be chief justice of the United States su- preme court, but the senate refused to conarm the nomination. Morrison R. Waite got the place, served long and well, died and has been all but forgot ten. While Judge Williams has just served two ostreuuousyears as Portland's s mayor is the mos, active man in sn ac- tive city.
 Judge Williams is an able man, and fearless. He probably will win, though there are many chances that it will be otherwise.

One by one those interested in the civic growth of Alaska are awakening to the fact that in self-government lies the only remedy for the ills which in. fiict this district.
