RACE OF WHITE GIANTS.

CHICAGO. April S-The Rev. Francis

IN northern Alaska. They are of unadul-
terated Caucasian blood, immense in stat
ure and muscular development, members
of one tribe found beyond the settlements
Of the Alaskan Indians north of what is
known as the Indian line. During a stay
of more than eight years among these peo-
pie the priest did not find single tribes

than the average American.
Several years before the discovery of
gold at Nome Father Barnum was sent as
a missionary to Alaska. Preaching from
village to village among the Alaskan In
dams, but journeying northward always. he
finally passed the Indian line. beyond which
the population becomes strictly Eskimo
Finally he came upon not the band of
hardy hunters he had expected but a race
Of purely white men of gigantic stature
He says they without the faintest
strain of Monaghan or Indian ancestry
He was with them long enough to master
their language.

MONEY FOR BASE
HITS AT RIGHT TIME

Ten dollars for q hit that nets two runs.
One eagle for a bingie that puts two
tallies over the pan.
That's the reward that Manager Hanlon
has offered Pitcher Del Mason, the effer
to stand good all season.
The proposition came up during practice
the other day. when Mason was at bat and
Hanlon was umpiring behind the pitcher.
Two men on bases and two out, with two
runs needed to win the game" suggested
Hanlon. by way OF illustration. What
are you going to do?''
Exactly what 1 always do under these

plate with his bat: put out a long hit that
will score both men,"

han In a bad light, as he Is too vigilant at
all times to allow anything of this sort.
Another point that made the story look
foolish was the ticking of q telegraph In
strument on the rail in front of the grand
stand.
Such a thing would attract a crowd in
about half a second. and Is totally fmpossi-
bic on that account
The truth of the matter is that the pool
room agents have been too much for the
Pinkertons at Benning. just as they have
at Sheepshead Bay, Belmont Park and
other New York tracks. Tho raid on
Thursday was without justification. as the
agents were working on private property.
and the instruments were returned to the
owners by Capt Daily just as soon as he
got an insight into the real situation. The
agents have six seven fully equipped
stations near the track from which to send
out the news. and although the Pinkertons
have been hanging up canvass In front Of
different farm Houses and trying to spot the
agents in the grounds, there has never
been day when the entries. odds and
order of winning has not been flashed to
New York and Chicago at least half
second after their occurrence.

general impression still appears to be that
the ball players life is one Of comparative
ease and adulation. Hence the failure OF

season was sufficient to cause him to take
his life When the strain and worry OF
three weeks in a new position can cause

POOL ROOM
AGENTS VERY ACTIVE

That was a nice fairy story sent out
from Washington Saturday night about
the raidins OF the room used by the pool
room agents near the Benning track. In
the first place. the raid occurred Thursday
afternoon at 1 O'Clock. the Pinkertons go
ing into the house at time when there
was not an agent in sight. and all the
wordy picture about the fight OF the oper-
ators through the windows was all bosh
The raiders secured a telegraph instrument
that was not connected with any wire
and four coils, making up an, ordinary bat
terry. The overhead wire that was torn
down was simply a blind, and the wire for
practical use was untouched. To say that
a wire had been run underground from the
