STAMPING ON WHISKY MEN
Must Not Gather Around The Irri-

Secretary Hitchcock has put his foot down on the whisky sellers who gather around the camps where irrigation works are being constructed The registers and receivers of land offices in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, south Da- kota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming were instructed by the Com missioner of the General Land Office to notify all persons who have heretofore entered, or who may hereafter enter, any of the lands which have been segregated under the provisions of the Reclamation Act that the leasing of such lands to other persons who are conducting the busi- ness of selling alcoholic liquors princi- pally to employees engaged on govern ment works, will be deemed sufficient cause for cancellation of ntries embrac- ing lands so used or occuped.
 The officers of land offices are further directed to give the widest possible pub licity to the fact that such use of any lands will be prevented by proper actions in ejectment by injunction or otherwise. These instructions have been called forth by conditions existing in Neveda, where the government em- ploys several thousand men. Home steaders have leased portion of their lands to persons engaged ill liquor busi- ness, and murder and robbery have been frequent in consequence.-Times.

cision was reached. In the first set there were
six deuce games and in the twenty first game
deuce was called six times.
Both neil played fast and hard tennis turnout
and it was conceded that no such match ever
witnessed at the Queens club, where big gall
lery including many Americans, cEeered both the
winner and the loser to the echo. Wright played
slightly better head game and had more en-
durance than brooks. Wright's net game was
particularly brilliant and he killed the ball more
often than his opponent, who is himself noted
for his net work. &

DRAWBRIDGE IS
HURTING BASEBALL;
Hancock Team Of the 500 League
Finds It's Revenues Cut
Short.
Special to The Journal.

Speciel TO Inc JOURNAL
Calumet, Mich, July 1s.-Hancock has been
playing to poor attendance this season and may
withdraw from the Copper Countryside league
The directors will hold meeting in few days
when decision is expected. Hancock is oppo-
site Houghton, Portage lake intervening and
combined, the two towns have population of
about 10000. This is sufficient to support
fast club, but the wrecking of the drawbridgc
over Portage lake in the curly spring prevented
Houghton fans from attending the games at
Sacks park without serious inconvenience. 1t
is believed that the Hancock team would have s
had prosperous season this year, had 1t not
been for the wrecking Of the draw. In fact,
the attendance should have been double what
1t is now.
Marquette Wants In.
Marquette which made application for MEM
bership in the league when it YVES formed, will
receive the Hancock club any change Y
! baseball team for many years. and it is thought
| that the public there would give it hearty sup
| port -,ocH company has been formed IN
Marquette among the busidess people to handle

ifanted that city.
Lake Linden Is playing steady game and

by THO league clubs have caught on with In
depenIent teams. Pitcher Watts, released BY
Calvtnet, is playing with Crystal Falls. Fred
Mason, released by Calumet. signed with Iron
Mountain. Pitcher Munsel. formerly with Han
sock is with Petoskey. Les Prince. who twiried
for Dollar Bay last summer. is with Menomi-
nee.
The sault Ste. Marie club L. in the copper
country this week, opening series OF dve
games with Calumet. The team has been
changed great deal and has one Of tho best
infields in the league now. The outfeld ID
weak in spots and the pitching department could
be strengthened.
The Detroit American league club released
Pitcher Brookmiller to the 500. He was given
transportation to the Lock City, but took the
train to his home in Pennsylvania. He win be
prevented from playing with any association
club until he comes to time.
Waiting for Thomas.
Jim Thomas. the southpaw pitcher owned by
Indianapolis, who secured by Manager Fich-
tel Of Calumet few days ago, has not yet
turned up. He is expected to arrive any day,
and should have been here before now.
'Nick' Kaiser has been appointed captain of
the Calumet team, to succeed George Thomas.
The latter has been shifted from second to
first base and Kaiser goes from right held
to second base John Morrison, southpaw with
t Dollar Bay last season, and recently with Daven

Z Calumet. The aristocrats have strong pitching
staff now, and, with the boys hitting we'll, will
