WILLARD WINS OVER
MORRIS IN NEW YORK
Both Men Are Clumsy and Fail TO
Give Fans Good Battle-Ground
Jeers Two Fighters.

NEW YORK. Dec. in ten
round bout at Madison Square garden
Tuesday night Jess willard of Kansas
defeated Carl Morris of oklahoma.
Willard had eight of the ten rounds,
one was fairly even and the other,
the third. went to Morris. Willard
weighed 235 ga pounds and Morris
2341-4
The bout was Disappointing as both
men were slow and there was good
deal Of wrestling and hugging with
very few clean blows. With the eX-
ception OF the third round Willard
out-boXed his opponent and Morris
was frequently cautioned for holding.
Both were clumsy, but Willard did
the cleverer work. He used right
cross blows and right upper-cuts,
while Morris mostly played for the
body at close quarters Morris
fioundered at times and seemed 10
have no sense OF direction with ms
blows. The crowd frequently jeered
and booe0.

WORK ALIB| FOR
THEIR FAILURES
Incompetent Players Always
Have an Excuse Ready
Players Fraternity is Their
Latest Offering.

Ball players have new alibi. When
one of the major leaguers is sold or
traded he explains it thusly: They
let me so because ! showed too much
pep in looking after the interests
Of the Players fraternity,
That excuse has been made al least
dozen times. The last TO spring il
is Hap Meyers. first baseman of the
Boston Braves. who was tOuted as a
wonder during the season of 1913. and
regarded by some as the man who
provided the Braves with most OF
their strength. Meyers was released
10 Rochester. He blamed il on his
activities with the Players fraternity.
He pointed out that he was given a
raw deal because Boston did not ask
for waivers on him until the close OF
the season when every club was load
ed up and unable to take on more
men.
All season many people could not
understand why George Stallings kept
Myers on first. He was weak on balls
and he lacked finish He was not a
good first baseman. although a few
tOuted him highly. Since Meyers
gave out his su4tement posing as a
martyr OF the Players fraternity. the
Boston club has given It's side OF the
case. IL seems that they asked
waivers for Meyers in April. Angus

ALASKA SHOULD HAVE
 AT LEAST ONE ROAD

If any ordinary business man had bought piece of property for $7,20O,- 900 and it had produced $500000, ,000 with scarcely any effort at develop ment, he would have set aside a large percentage of the revenue for further exploitation. This is what the people of Alaska now want. They feel that the country has been footed long enough. At least a portion of the wealth that is being taken out of the soil and the waters should be ex- pended in making life worth living in the Territory.
 There should be at least one Amer ican railroad running from the coast to the interior and kept open through out the year. so that mail and supplies can reach the interior without the long delay of dog teams. And the men who are making it possible for these vast revenues to be produced in Alas ka think that it is about time that they were being considered as American cit izens and not as crooks - Leslie's Weekly

PRAISE FOR YUKON'S
 MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

Dr. Thompson, member of parlia- ment for Yukon, was here this week on his way back to his seat in that hon. orable body: Dr. Thompson performed valient service for his constituency at the last session and that he will do equally we'll next session goes without saying. He expects results and that is what Yukon expected of him when he was sent to Ottawa. He has made good and, in addition to his faithfulness to his people, he stands par excellence with his cOnferees in the house. The long lists of grants for Yukon to his credit and due wholly to his untiring efforts must be recognized even by those who differ from him politically. This paper did not support Dr. ThOmp- son in his candidacy but is supports him now for what he has done for the territory in the past and what it has confidence he will achieve for it in the future. Dr. Thompson is all right. - Whitehorse Star.

Willis F. Novel;, of Juneau, Alaska, is a guest at the Arctic Club while in the city. He is the representative of the Alaska Steamship company and president of the Juneau Steamship company. He also represents the Chi cagO, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad at Alaska's capital city Mir. .Owell is one of the greatest violinists living in the entire Northwest, although he is too modest to discuss the matter. He is a graduate of the Boston Con- servatory of Husic and studied abroad, but he never plays in public.

As things turned out he only plays for his own pleasure Several years ago he wore a Van Dyke beard, of which he was very proud, and so did pr. l.. II.
