Every fraudulent check issued in
payment of gambling debt or TO
secure money for gambling pur-
poses is nail driven in the coffin of
gambling in Nevada. There have
been good many of them sent home
in the last year: quite a few in the
last month. We do not believe the
present Legislature will take action in
the matter. It was elected with diff
ferent understanding, but il does be-
gin to look as If the body would have
to show hands.

Borleske is Not Laid Up
Will Play Hard Tomorrow

Notwithstanding the sensational
story that has appeared in outside
dailies Vincent Borleske captain and
right half back and star player on the
Whitman college football team is not
out of the game with a broken leg and
will positively be in the big game to-
morrow when Whitman meets Wash
ington State College for the college
football championship of the Inland
Empire, on Ankeny Field.
Monday night the varsity was prac-
ticing punt formations, when the ball
was passed to Borleske, who booted
the pigskin for a forty yard punt.
Just as the ball left his foot he was
hit by one of the scrub players who
was attempting to block the kick Be
ing taken entirely off his guard, Bor-
leske was knocked down and in falling
his right leg in some manner was
caught and slightly injured. Borles-
Ike was taken at once to the gymnas-
ium where the injured tendon was
bather in hot water and the soreness
soon left. The injury was only
slight one and is in no sense serious
nor will it keep him out of the game
tomorrow Borleske was highly in
censed at the sensational stories OF
his injury which appeared in certain
outside newspapers.

the fleet on it's run from Alaska to this
port

der the auspices of the Pacific Inter-

be made by the inside passage with
only two exposed crossings. AS the run
will be made in August, when the
