Johnny Evers To
 Boss Cincinnati
Owner of Reds Wants Cub Star and Big Trade May
 Be Made

John J. Evers, of the Cubs, is the manage the Cincinnati Reds next sea- son, according to the New York Evening Telegram It was learned has approached Charles w. Murphy owner of the Cubs, and asked if he could procure Evers to succeed Clark Griffith as leader.
 Whether Evers lands the job or not depends entirely on the possibility of a deal being made between the two clubs so Evers can be transferred. Sc far all that MT. Hermann has done Is to make 1t known that Elvers is the man he wants.
 Recently Hermann had a talk with Murphy on the matter and asked if he could have Evers. Murphy said he would consult Chance, and he has done that and both have consented to let Evers go. provided a deal can be made with the Cincinnati club that will be satisfa ctory.
 Neither Chance nor myself wants to stand in the way of Ever's ad- vancement,'' said Murphy. 'tJohn has been a valuable player to the Chicago club and always has given us the best he had. If he can better himself financially by managing the ISeuS we WdLHC nlm 10 get the JOD. Balt Evers is one of the great players of the game, and of course. the only way we can let him go is by some trade whereby we think we have not weak ened the Chicago Club"
 Evers himself has never approached the Cincinnati magnate on the propo- sition, though he has been informed that his services are wanted in Red vile. Hermann has said on num- erpus occasions that he wants a play ing manager to succeed Griffith, but this is the first time he has an- nounced what man he wanted.
 ''Of course I would like al chance at the job," said Ewers "Cincinnati has good ball club, for there are a lot of young fellows there who'll de- velop and with a little more strength in pitching it would be a club that would be up there fighting with the leaders. I never have said anything about the job, for, didn't want any one to think was trying to cut in on Clark Griffith. Now I understand Grif is not going to return next year anyway and the jobs open. I'm glad to learn that Mir. Hermann favors me for the position, and while I hate to leave Chicago, where every one has been so good to me, I would be glad to get a chance to manage big league club. I hope there1l be no trouble in making deal that will give me the chance"

Determined to learn the coal business from the bottom up, Tommers has accepted a position with the New Haven Coal Company. the firm succeeding the Levi c. Gilbert Coal Company, and yesterday drove one Of the company's coal wagons. Tommers delivered several loads and finished with as good time run as any of the firms most experienced coal beavers.
 Yesterday while turning a corner with a heavy load, Tommers could not escape an automobile which was coming toward him with considerable rapidity. The auto struck the for ward part of his cart with quite a little force and knocked the young driver from his seat. Tommers, how ever, escaped serious injury, scraping his knees and hands.
 Tommers is graduate of the New Haven High school. He entered Yale university three years ago and se- cured his ''Y' on the baseball team. He was the chief factor of the Var sity baseball team of 1910 and played two years with the Varsity nine. In 1910 he pitched in the championship games and earned great reputation as an all round athlete. He is clev- CT wrestler and worked with the Yale wrestling team. He went in for foot fall and did great work with the squad, but an injury prevented him from carrying his football plans fur ther. His injury in football forced him to give up pitching this spring when he played in the outfields of the Yale nine. While at Yale he was al so a member of the Yale basket ball team. This summer he has gone dnto semi professional baseball as pas time

 Chicago began.
 Despite 24 hours of inactivity, the McGraw players are one point more in the lead through the Cubs failure to avenge their double defeat.
 But with four weeks of the season remaining, the New Workers task IS becoming easier despite hard games ahead, while the Cubs have got to travel fast if they hope to overtake the flying leaders. That the Cubs have some speed left, however, de- spite the heartbreaking pace, was finally demonstrated in that 9th, tho |Sheckard-T -Tinker-Z Zimmerman batting rally proving great little treat Tor the Windy City fans.
 Cincinnati and St. Louis, last heard from tightly clutching places in the second division, played out their last games on Missouri soil, the Reds coming through on the short end of Ia 3-2 score in both contests.
 Outfelder Meleon, who has been playing with the St. Louis-Americans, Western Association His hitting has not been up to his standard, hence his release.
 E Pitcher Dent, ex-White Wing, will probably have a chance to perform with the Brooklyn Nationals while, on their western trip. They are playing in Chicago for three game series. and 1t wouldn't be surprising to see the big fellow stack up against the Cubs in one .,f the games.
 Herman Schaefer, the comedian, is the probable choice for next manager of the washington team. Schaefer has been in the American League a great many years and was traded to the Nationals by the Detrofts two years ago.
 The. St. Louis Nationals appear to have struck their gait again. A dou- ble victory over the Reds yesterday put them a great deal nearer the PhilHes and from present appearances they will beat out the Quaker City aggregation.

 "On Big river, which is a tributary of the kuskokwim river, the x. C. CO have established fine trading post. Large warehouses. containing several hundred tons of provisions have been erected and this place is the distribut- ing point for the upper Kuskokwim country. The company asks a fair price for their goods but not out of proportion. l purchased rice for F -12 cents Der pound and bacon for my dogs for 43 1-2 cents.
 'I spent six or seven days in the Iditarod country, and find that after looking the country over in good shape Nome is better place for people in business. Flat City will be the big town over there. but from present in dications the camp will be all worked out a year from next fall This sum- mer will be the banner season, then the following will be the "skinning of what Is left"
 "The Iditarod is a good camp for 1,5oo or 2,ooo people. but there are over 5000 there now, so everything is over done. There is not a bucket of pay dfT4h haf,ev hnf ft ;r gings. There is no work, outside of hualing wood and about forty horses are engaged in that work.
 "I was willing to leave Iditarod for Nome. The merchants are waiting for the summer clean up to get their money for goods. Everything is sky high in prices. Butter SIPS per pound, beans 25c and nothing less than 25c per pound and from that all the way to $15o

PETE GARVA|S TELLS
 OF TRIP OVER ICE

Pete Gervais, who owns the Red Barn on East Front street, called at the Nugget office yesterday and gave the following account of his trip to Nome from Seward which has occu- pie his time since early in February.
 The first six days out of Seward I made s5 miles for the trails were bad and soft. The next three days I made 1ls miles with my four dogs and met the Goodwin survey party headed for Seward.
 Finding that 1t was a case of break trail every day making only five or six miles I went on a hunting trip for a few days to allow some of the other travellers to catch up with me to help break trail. went up the Scuinty river and was storm bound for twenty days, during which time l killed fine fat moose that dressed about 500 pounds. l ran out of sugar and flour on the hunting trip. and was glad 10 get back to the main trail where food could be had.
 During the entire trip it never got colder than 2s below zero and at one time it rained. l met a German who was taking in his summer outfit to Rhon river a tributary of the Kusko- kwim river This fellow has good summer proposition on that creek which he is keeping quiet.
 "The Rainy Pass is a fine one to cross over, one can take a good sized load over it for the grade is gradual all the way to the top. One can see some fine scenery along that piece of trail One day I passed through thou sands upon thousands of ptarmigans rather tame and close to both sides of the trail.
 After crossing the divide or pass I kokwim river there was not q piece of timber in sight in that section, a bad piece of country where the wind blows a gale. For miles the river was bare, nothing but gravel to haul the sled over. At one time the wind blew so strong it took me and my four dogs and carried us l5O feet
 ''The Big river cutoff of 57.35 miles. constructed by the Goodwin party through a fine stretch of timber from the Kuskokwim river to Big river is a dandy. and fine travelling. In fact the only stretch of country between Sew ard and Unalakleet where timber is not encountered is near Rhon river
