in the Amateur Ranks
Minor League Scouts Would Do Well to Look
Over Capital City for Promising Ball
Players-Many Stars in Leagues.

The foregoing are but a few OF the
Washington amateurs who. in the writ
er's opinion, would make good in the pro-
fessional ranks
Taken as a whole, the twenty ball-toss-
ers in the box above are about as classy
bunch as could be gotten together in
the District as to hitting. fielding. and
general knowledge of baseball
Take Sid Lodge, for instance. Lodge
has returned from the Richmond CVaD
League team after making good. No
reason has been advanced for his return
home. While with the Richmond club Sid
hit well and fielded with the best in the
league, his work against the major league
teams on their training trips being OF the
highest order.
Chief Greene, the Catholic University
star slab artist, is way above the ordi-
nary run of amateur twirlers. Greene
has speed, control, and best of all. good.
fast-breaking curves. There are several
Class d teams after him and he will most
likely be seen in the professional ranks
before another season rolls around.
One OF the heaviest hitters, as well as
one OF the best fielders. in the District Is
Earl Steele, the clouter of the Sewage
Pumping Station team, OF the Capital
City League. Steele has been hitting the
ball hard and often, and II is seldom that
his swats are for less than two sacks.
Steele Is perhaps the best qualified in
the District to make good.
Billy Marceron, Dutch" Stuckert, and
Monk" Walters are a fast trio of out
felders who would make good. Marceron
has been one OF the leading gardeners of
the District for the past three years,
while Monk" Is one Of the fastest men
on the bases in the amateur leagues.
Dutch Stuckert is a natural born slug
ger and he is rightly called the Hans
Wagner of the amateurs.
Clyde Richmond, the premier twirler of
the Commerce and Labor and Ninth
teams: Joe EnRle. OF the Cornell Tigers.
and Chester Knott, of the Kendalls, are
a trio OF box artists that would be hard
to beat in. the amateur ranks of any city.
Richmond is perhaps the best twirler in
the District
Another star who needs no Introduction
to the fans >of the District is Cy Mac
Donald. of Goldsboro and Georgetown
fame. Cy is at present holding down the
frst-base Job on the Cornell Tigers, and
II would be hard to find another first
sacker Of the same class as Cy. The big

JACK JOHNSON is SPENDING

London, June 17.-Despite the rival at

Jack johnson maintains with pride a
place in London eyes. His appearance
is sufficient to block traffic. and when
he enters a store the most energetic ef-
forts of the officers are required to clear
the sidewalk.
Jack Johnson is spending money like
an Indian prince or a Pittsburg million
aire. He has ordered an expensive
motor and a bass vioI, and bought a
diamond necklace for his wife His
modest expenditures of the week have
been about $4,000. Already he is paying
the penalty for greatness. There is a
curious crowd constantly stationed out

 They admit that pay has been found in one or two places, but the number of spots where holes have been sunk without results was so numerous that it was rather dispiriting to all of them.
 On the trip Gillespie had an argu- nent with enc of the members of his dog team and was quite severely bitten on the hands and face. The doctor took the necessary precautions and no serious consequences are feared.

Slipped One Over On Us

When Alabam LaboyteauX left 1dit- ar0d with Jack Devereau on that pro- vision expedition to the steamer Min neapolis, he was keeping something up bis sleeve in regard to his intention to take run up to the Koyukuk. He said he was going after the grub and hurry back, and he has either changed his mind or was spootfing us.
 He left some interests up in the vi cinity of Coldfoot, or it is possible he was called by that new Red Mountain strike,- e,-anyway from last reports he was headed in that general direction, In the meantime, it Is believed that his caravan with the butter and the smoked meats from tho Minneapolis is on the way hither, somewhere in the vicinity of Diskaket. An outfit has been sighted there, but it may be Men ard or Ryan or some of those other freighters who are relaying provisions and fresh meats from Lewis landing.

ANOTHER BIC PLANT
 FOR OTTER CREEK

Among the important transactions of the last week, is that one reported on Otter creek, where L. N. Ellis bought into two lays on 1 and Pa bench.
 According to the report of the deal, Ellis has bought into the McMullen & Brnah lay on the upper end of Pa, and also in the Bittles & Plepser lay on the lower end of Ia bench. From the nature of the proposition, they must be worked by two plants, and these he is preparing 10 supply.
 Ellis is an experienced mining man, having worked for Aitkcn last summer. and he IS making preparations to go into these new lays on q big scale. In addition to the 60 h. p. boiler which he has secured from Aitken, he has pur- chased a triple-drum hoist from Brum- baugh, Hamilton & Kellogg, and he also ordered big bottomless scraper which will be brought in over Laks Leberge so as to reach here on the first water If this can be transported successfully up Otter creek, he will have the machinery on the ground and ready to work by the latter part ot June.

''SKOOKUM" / JOHNSON NOW
 IN HERO LIST

Friday morning, "Skookum" John son, he of fame in many places, but most recently in Flat, had dreams of empire. Having dreamed this pipe he summons bis trusty lieutenants, Tom Frolin and John Lund, shoulders his trusty ax and goes to the lot adjoining his chop house on Front street, and queitly yumps it.
 With poles and tent he glaums 8 likely portion of the lot belonging to E. w. Griffin & Co. laying between the store building and the building formerly occupied by the Pacific Cold Storage, now doing duty as Skook's restaurant. This lot is about 20 feet wide and had long belonged to the Griffin company. In fact both the buildings between which Skookum squatted belong to that company and the lots. They had merely left the space for an alleyway and for lire protection.
 Leaving word to his lieutenants to use the aX on anyone who interlered, Skookum went back to his biscuits, while the populace gathered around to gaze in wonder at the first lot jumping outrage in Flat city. There was an in- dignation meeting and everybody munched the muslin meditatively, but there was nothing stirring. From all accounts Skookum is still there.
 IL appears that it had to come sooner OF later. You can't keep the lot jun per down, To avoid the trouble, the annoyance and the expense suffered in this city, the people of Flat should.take hold of that matter and handle it with out gloves.
