rather weak. This distance is about 100 miles by airline, and demonstrates the efficiency of the Fort Egbert sta- tion. Fort Gibbon signals come in to rgbert with fair commercial intensity and are easily read. The GIbbon sta tion Is of high power. Circle City, 26O miles from Fort Glbbon, can work with Gibbon with ease, Fairbanks and Fort Egbert also work together over an air. line of about l95 miles. All the shorter distances are bridged with very strong signals, Fort Egbert and Circle City; aud Circle City and Fairbanks; and Fort GibOon and Fairbanks. Fort Glbbon and Nome have exchanged signals over the 45O miles of airline distances between these stations"
 A demonstration of what it all means to Alaska took place while Lieut.. Jeunet was on the way out. de was on the steamer Susie, crowded with fall migrators from Fairbanks and below. The boat tied up st Circle, ou the Iu- kon. which Is far or the track of the wire. The station was to have been opened for business on the Fist. This was the 26th and, ou account sOi some delay iu tuning up," it had not yet been done. It was accomplished while Lieut.. Jeuuet was there. Instantly it became known, every man aud woman on board wanted to send word back to those whom they had left be. hind at Fairbanks. The oice at Fair banks did not know what had struck it while into the homes of Fairbanks people iuttered so many messages from those who were thought to have been cuI oF from communication that it was like voices from the clouds. Unqualified success, is the way to speak of the wireless in Alaska, " says Lieut.. Jeune,. And it is great message.

THE DIAMOND
SOME OF THEM
HAVE BEEN LOST
Players Who Have Yet Failed to
Report-Results Of Games
Yesterday.

Somewhere within the realm Of
| this mundane world there are sew
eral ball players, or alleged ball
| ceptance cards, have ate up all the
gratuities, but as yet have failed to
learn the fact that Waterbury is on
the map and that there is a stop
ping off place here, even If the Bank
street station has gone the way of
all has beens. Perhaps some of
those who were anxious to get their
names on the Waterbury directory,
during the winter months, have been
attacked with spring fever and have
decided that the farm is the best
place after all. They may have mis-
trusted that they would be only the
spring tryouts, unless they could
show such phenomenal calibre that
a permanent place would be theirs.
The times have been hard, too, and
with only one pair of CATERS in their
wardrobe they figured that their
chances of hitting the pike would be
strenuous indeed. Some of them,
however, are showing ungrateful-
ness, for they have received the adj
vance stipend and should remember
that money is just as scarce with
base ball managers at the beginning
of a season as 1t is with base ball
players who may have fed on snow
balls all winter At any rate the
following are still missing from the
fold and unless they get here quick
ly their names will be placed in the
"neverwases" and "neverwillbes"
classes:
Moran, catcher from Wilkes
barre; Howard, pitcher from Bos-
ton; McNulty, the hitless twirler
from Cleveland; Sillery, another slab
artist from Newark, Dell Singleton,
an infielder from Cleveland, and
Sanborn, an infielder from Phila-
delphia. This last man would be
just the player that is needed on the
local team. Those who know him
say he is fast and a good shortstop
or third baseman. He is a sturdy
chap, too, and might fill UP one bad
hole in the infield. If it is the San
born that some local people know
he played at one time with Williams
port of the outlaw league and was a
good hitter as we'll as fielder.
The players who are here were out
for practice again yesterday and two |
teams were made up and eight in |
nings tolled off The Yannigans |
were the winners by score of to
over the regulars. The lineup
of the teams was as follows:

ter that of Bunny Ford and Of inter.

Maher offers to box any three light

tinuous rounds.
There are some good men In the
state. including Jim Gormley, Gene

giving Maher a good hard fight with
out the aid of two others.

men up in Waterbury, the other night.

since Maher defeated him at Newburg
a year ago he figured that Wilson
ought TO come around and take anoth-
er beating.
Maher is particularly anxious TO
meet JEFF Doherty again and will
match up with him for any number
of rounds.

as yet has never been beaten. al

BASEBALL NOTES

They are off.
The biggest crowds in the history
of baseball were at the opening
| games.
Books and pencils were very busy
| in front of the Democrat Office last
night, watching the bulletins.
Several hundred people are out to
Reidville every afternoon watching
the boys in practice. The good ana
bad points are discussed freely.
The City Amateur league roster
looks good and the games this sea-
son should be the warmest in the
history of the league. One week
from next Sunday will see the OPEN
ing.
Frewert, an outfielder, was the
first one of the recruits to get the
tag. He was given permission to
get back home yesterday and is
probably now on his way.
Matthewson has new curve.
He calls 1t the 'spitless splitter" 1t
breaks like the spitball but the
sphere is not moistened. We have
a sneaking suspicion that Matty is
using banana skin.
Paddy Duff, the Providence boy
who has been handed his release from
the Reading club in the Tri-State
league, has been offered the position
of captain and first base guardian CT
the Lowell club in the New England
league.
George Stone, the st Louis Ameri-
can slugger, first attracted the atten-
ton of the big league scouts by wal
Looping the horsehide for single, a
two Dagger and three home runs
while playing on the Coleridge, Neb,
team a few years ago.
Hober Ferris and Freddy Parent,
two old Boston American players,
who occupy new berths this season,
we're there with the goods yester-
day. Ferris with st Louis, tied tho
score in the eighth inning with a
two-base hit and Parent had six
chances and two hits with Chicago.
Manager Joe Kelly of the Boston
Nationals is having some trouble
with 1ssy Hoffman. whom he re-
leased to Providence. Hoffman re-
fuses to join Duffy's team, and says
that If he cannot stay with Boston
Ike wants his unconditional release.
He claims that being a purchased
player he is entitled to his release
or retention.
George Bannon, who has been
working out as pitcher with the
Providence Eastern league club was
decorated with the tinware sign yes
terday along with two other players.
The former Papermaker and Pony
will probably go to the Binghamton
club of the New York State league
of which his brother Jimmy is cap
tain and manager.
IL is the opinion of Manager
Huglrey Jennings that Cobb of the
Detroit club is one of the greatest
base runners the game has ever
known. I'll go on record with this
declares Jennings, land
I'll say more-Cobb is a better base
runner to-day than Kelley, Keller
and McGraw were eight or ten years
ago."

Gotch.

Tom Jenkins, Americas ex-cham-
pion wrestler, is once again on the
warpath. He is after the scalp Of
Frank Gotch, the recent conqueror of
Hackenschmidt, to whom Tom lost

give him return match, but without
avail, Then Jenkins was appointed

day before, slipping off the local
bats, while Montreal picked up 10,

far as the fielding was concerned.

three errors, Montreal this time
playing clearly throughout, whereas
Holyoke was errorless yesterday and
the Royals had trio of sips. Mon
