set their snares for the dashing OIym-
plan
McAllister's last appearance as an
amateur was at the Olympic club when
the veteran Australian pugilist, Tommy
Tracey, brought Ted Darbyshire all the
way from Portland, Or, to take crack
at Bob. For all that Darbyshire ac-
compEshed he might have been some

Then came the announcement that
McAllister had resolved to turn "pro,
and there was a lot OF speculation as
to who would be his first opponent.
He met Willie Meehan at Oakland, and

fighting
After Meehan. Paddy LAWN took a
whirl at Robert and finished poor
second, and then Sailor LIE Grande
came along and gave McAllister the
stiffest argument he had so far en-
countered.
The LIE Grande affair showed that
McAllister possessed better qualities of
assimilation than the experts gave him
credit for lie Grande, who is built on
battering ram principles, gave McAllis-
ter an occasional wallop around the
midriff. and Bob did not appear to be
seriously affected bY these solid body
smasbes.
There is Just one department of the
game in which Bob is thought to be
deficient The suspicion exists that
he lacks in punching force The strange
thing about it is that no fault was
found with him in this direction when
he was an amateur, but as some one
observed, he never had anything to do
with rock-ribbed, hard-headed fellows

Praise for Huff.

Jake Stahl has but one answer TO make
for being a baseball player at ALL and
one person to thank that he has hit the
big time for the dragdown that is tucked
away IN the little German sock. That
person is George A. Hun. commonly
known 10 his friends as &C the 800
pound director OF athletics ct the Uni
versity OF Illinois.
When Garland Stahl, big green Dutch
boy, dragged his oilcloth valise off the
train at Champaign. H., and entered the
University OF Illinois. he knew about as
much about baseball as DR.. Mary Walker
cares for petucoats.

STAHL' S SUCCESS IS
SOURCE OF WONDER
Has Accomplished Seemingly
Impossible in Baseball;
Was College Player.

Jake stahi was the skyrocket OF pro-
fessional baseball Three times he did
the impossible before announcing his re-
trement from the boom Of the derrick
The first impossible thing that Jake
Stahl accomplished was to become base
ball player.
The second time that he made nature
and the dope do the back somersault
was when he placed the old Washing
ton FOUNDERS In first place for a day.
The third Mt Mckinley that he beat
the Doc Cooks OF baseball to was when
ne slipped the handouts on McGraw and
his outfit during the cheerless days Of
last fall.
To those who have watched StahTs
career since the big Dutch boy first
donned the spangles OF a sure-enough
baseball team his success has been the
source OF wonder His recent skid into
retirement has been surprise. and yet
1t is no surprise when the ancient his
tory sharps slip the cheaters across the
bridge and hold their breath as they

Not Opposed to Exum.

The Daily Alaskan is il, receipt of a letter from Attorney E. E.. Ritchie in which he says Tom Parker feels justified in filing an action against this paper for li- bel and estimates his damages at S5O,OOO for publishing state ment to the effect that said Park CT attended a meeting of the Val dez Chamber of Commerce which passed resolutions opposing the confirmation of E. w. Exum as United States marshal of this di- vision.
 Mr. Ritchie says that Parker happened into the room to see a man whom he knew was there, while the meeting was in. pro- gress, but took no part and he |dOesnt care rap whether Mi. Exum gets to be marshal or not
 Parker also writes that he is not a member of the chamber, has never taken sides with any aspir- ant for a federal position, knows nothing against EXum, other than what he read in the public press, and upon this he had never eX- pressed an opinion. Under the we must admit that alh injustice has been done Mr. Parker, and feel that re- traction is due him for the asso- 'ciation of his name at meeting of few political soreheads whose moral sense of duty has been greatly aroused because President Wilson saw fit to name another than Valdezite for United States marshal. al.--Cordova Alaskan.

ANTICIPATION.

Young Bulger's here at. home again a-visiting a while. He made a hit back East and then began to put on style. He wrote a book that brought his name into the magazines, and now he's basking ill his fame; he struts to beat the queens. He bangs his hair and wears a tie that ,jolts the village hard; single windows in his eye with gold chain by the yard. He tries to look like Byron and he talks a lot of art: he's bound we all shall understand how smooth he is, and smart. have no doubt Bulger thinks we look at him as sweet- --but every village solon Winks when he goes down the street. The graybeards sit and gossip some hard by the common pump, and when they see young Bulger come, they say: "Oh, what a chump.' The women hold their sewing bees, the heathen hosts to drape, and when young Bulger past them fees, they sigh: He's like an ape.' Young Bulger thinks
 he cuts a swath, when in his brave array, whereas he only stirs up wrath and mad desires to slay. Sane people have a bitter spite against the swelled-up man so if you cant be modest quite, be modest as you can.

Sunday In Now York.

The Call, New York's Socialist organ, offers these few remarks on Sunday in New York City:
 We are a strict people in ob- serving the Lords day. So what ever. is. good we close up; what ever is bad stays open. The sa- looms are closed, except through the back way. That maintains outward order and decency and promotes drunkenness. The reg ular theaters are closed. That teaches the actors that they are still regarded by many as out casts. But the worst of the vari- ety shows are in full blast. That helps in the culture of indecency.
 We refuse to provide adequate facilities for recreation. That forces the people to travel far and makes them prey to sharks. But Lit promotes business. It fats the purse of the politicians and oth- CTS. It is good for the stockhold- CTS in traction companies and on railroads, and it is fine for the owners of steamboats. Everybody who goes near beach is taxed for the privilege. That is fine for those who have stolen the beach, ieS.
 Young and old are herded and driven. The utmost latxiy pre- vails. The utmost laxity pre- vails. Many of the places at the beaches are disreputable beyond description. That is excellent for the white slave traffic"
