The local correspondent of the Denver
News, either wilfully neglects or that
paper refuses to publish any mention of
Idaho Springs in its Sunday summer re-
sort columns. The Denver Republican
gives the resort features of this section
prominent place on the pages of its Sun
day issue every week, but this is the first
year in a decade that the Denver News
has not printed the many interesting
social and personal items which occur
every week, and which include the visits
of many important personages through
out the tourist season. The people of
this city could remedy the matter by
seeing to it that the sales of the Sunday
News in this city be curtaled somewhat
in which evert it is likely that the busi-
ness office of the paper would take notice.
The matter should be looked after at
once by the Chamber of Commere.

 Al Selbach remains steadfast ill his refusal to sign q Trenton Tri-State league contract unless he receives q portion of the purchase money, at least 0ne-half. He is satisfied to play with the New Jersey team, but thinks he is entitled to an equal division of the money to be paid for his release to that club. There is also another hitch in the proposed deal whereby Selbach goes to the Trenton club. He drew a large salary from the Provi- dence club last season. much larger than the Trenton club can afford to pay, and this point may be strong enough to warrant the calling off of the trade. If all the bargains made by Trenton for members of last years Grays go through the team in that city will look like the Providence nine of 1906.
 Doc Newton, the left handed pitch CT who was suspended by the New York Americans last year. has signed a contract to play with the Montreal Eastern league club, of which Malachi Kittredge is the manager.

He will do some of the catching himself. as sisted by Joe Connor. a brother of Roger Connor. Arthur Brown of last years Newark team is slated to play first base. with Simmons, formerly of RidgewoOd, on second; Morgan of last years Boston Americans. on third and Hartman, once with Ford

 headquarters at the New York Ameri- l can league clubs offices, says that he is on the lookout for another outfield- CT and all infielder.

 According to President Carpenter of the Tri-State league the Johns- town club has purchased Catcher Jack O'Neill from Boston.
 Hugh Duffy of Providence hasn't any hopes of landing Lord and Chad bourne from Boston although he ad- mits that he would like to get both men.

 Pat Greene. the inflelder. who made a fine record in the Hudson River league last season. is wanted by Wilmington of the Tri-State league and Springfield of the Con- necticut league.
 Despite the earliness of the season. Manager Danaher is on a still hunt for new players for the New Haven baseball team. and he corralled few recently who should turn out to be the right men according to the Elm lefty scribes.
 According to a telegram received in Providence from President A. c. Doe of the Providence baseball club. Manager Duffy has bought from the Pittsburg club Abstein. a first base man who was with the Pirates the greater part of last season.
 While neither club nor player had thought to say anything about the matter. it is a fact that Christopher Mathevson. the most famous base ball pitcher in the United States. has been signed to a 1907 contract with the giants for more than a month.

 Karakanoff is slightly heavier than Lundin and while he has not got the breadth of shoulder he is said to be equally as strong. He won the Mon- treal tournament, where some of the best men in the world tock part. ka- rakanoff is the third Terrible Turk to come to this country.
