The mad batting exploits of Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, the Detroit Tiger dur
ing the last few playing days of the
American league are something that
he is not likely to keep up. because If
he does he will have TO bat 500 at the
end OF the season. That is not impos

Cobb battcd 300 In FIVE games last

Good Records for Six Years.
For six seasons the Georgian has

tBy Alaska News Bureau.l


 ROME. Italy. Feb. 24-After a stormy meeting delayed by many debates. which approached personal encounters a times. the Chamber of Deputies yesterday passed a bin to annex to Italy the state of Tripoli. which has been al but wrested rom Turkey.
 The new African possession will furnish the much needed territory near to the Mother country for col onization. It is estimated that thous- ands of peasants win flock there, seeking relief from the over crowded condition of Italy.
 IL Is hoped by the home government that the acquisition of this country in which emlgrants may settle will prevent the alarming migration to the United States which has taken place in the last few years.
 It Is thought that Turkey will ap- peal to the powers to prevent the annexing of her territory by the Ital- ians.
