 The arrival of a mail stage at White horse in 8 little more than four days out from Dawson after the close of nav igation and before the freezing of the waterways of the interior indicates to what an extent the methods of handling mail and passengers has improved in the north in the past few years. It is only & short time ago that there was 8 period of several weeks each fall be- tween the closing of navigation and the freeze-up, and another each spring be- tween the breakup of the ice and the opening of navigation when traffic ot all kinds suspended. Now there IS hardly an interruption in the delivery of mails or the transportation of pas sengers. The system has been so thoroughly developed that one method ot transportation Is changed for anoth- CT us diHsrent from its predecessor as it possibly could be without the slight est friction or waste of time and euer- pv.

Following are the averages of the Print
ing Once League. which disbanded last
week. owing to the fact that many players
were on their vacation and full mines could
not be put on the field. 1t can be seen by
tho batting records that there was plenty
of hitting, as there are three batters over
900. two over 900. nine over 400 and
twenty-one over 800. Those looking over
the batting records must think that the
twirlers in this league are all very inferior,
but although there are q few who are not
up to the standard OF amateur pitchers. sew
eral are as good as any in the District
Although McCurg. Montgomery and Ruedy
are all over eco they have not played In
ten games. and the real leader IN batting
Is Jerry Hunt. with an average Of $50
for fifteen games. Hermann and Webb
are both close up to Hunt and had not
the season closed 50 soon II Is believed they
would have given him hard tussle for the
leadership. In the deldng4tne Bailey has
good lead on the rest of the first basemen,
although he has not played In ten games
LaframbOia leads the second basemen by
but one point. Muligan being right at his
heels. Although Sullivan has the best per-
centage for third basemen, Heffernan is
the real leader. as Sullivan has been in but
three games. Cotter Is 1.-THE best at short,
while there are several outffelderS with
a perfect percentage.

GOOD EFFECT OF ATHLETICS.
Growth Of Temperance Credited t,
Encouragement of Sports.

III article in the Bluejacket. an en-
listed man in tho navy declares that the
growth of temperance In the navy is not
due so much to the abolition Of the beer
boat as to the improved character Of the
personnel and the increase of liberty in
wholesome ports together with the encour-
agement given to rational athletics by the
naval authorities. 1T is the opinion Of a
majority OF the men," says this writer
that to send them on shore frequently to-
gether for sports gives them more, holds
more for them, and does more for Them their
ships, commanding officer and for the service
in general than a regular liberty. OF course
they want liberty too, and plenty Of 1t while.
they have money to spend. There Is plenty
OF liberty now. but we look for the time
when it will not be considered as one Of
the privileges and when a man will be free
to go on shore as soon as his work is
done. Then there will be q minimum of
absence over leave. The man on shore
who works for living does not hurt any
one. but himself when he fails to turn up
at his work on the minute; he loses a
portion of his pay, and his employers are
apt to look upon him as unreliable. That
is the way it will be in the navy In the near
future; the men will return to their work
time in order not to lose their pay.
and they hold good positions, they do
not want to be displaced by steadier men.
1t Is now noticed our big ships that
when man Is scratched off a base ball
party list there Is more real disappoint-
ment than If he were deprived Of an over
night liberty.

largely due the second formation OF the

Special Correspondence Of The Star
BOSTON. August II. 1905.
The major league season Is now two
thirds over. as there are eight weeks lett
until the curtain must be rung down on the
season OF 1905. by all odds the greatest year
ever known TO base ball. With double
headers coming. the real hard work Will
soon begin. and the clubs without staying
powers will fall by the waysids. TO see
often less skillful teams forge to the 'front.'
In the National League Pittsburg alone
has a lighting chance TO beat out New
York. and considering that the Giants must
finish In the west Fred Clark Will keep

d clever general. and Will manage TO Keep
his team Ia the front until that last trip.
and holding out the inducement OF money
from the worlds series. his men will take
long chances and keep in shape for their
best work The Giants are game and can
play bali and the American League club
to beat them out In a short series must be
able 70 hit the ball. No fast fielding team
of light hltters can beat the Giants for big
money. Pittsburg has shown much of her
old-time speed this season. and will be in
the hunt next year from the jump.
The Phillies. under Hugh Duffy, are doing
wonders and about two new men would
put the Quakers In the hunt next season.
The Chicago club without Frank Seiee Is
sure To lose prestige and eventually go
wrong Selee proved himself the ideal
base ball manager getting more work out
young bail players than any man since the
days OF Harry Wright. It's the players
that Selee brought TO the front and instilled
the proper ginger into that are holding the
fort at the present time. Another season
will find the same team without a leader
of the Selee brand. Judging from the re-
ports about the great managers health.
Speaking of the Chicago club reminds me
OF Charley Murphys connection with that
organization.
Not long ago i received friendly letter
from Murphy. saying that he had invested
