Former Crimson and White
Athlete to Try for Position
on Varsity.
AFTER JOB AS BACKST0P
Is Wise PIayar--0f FIashy
Variety Good Man to Head
Batting Order.

Bones" Browning, who proved to
be one of the best athletes that eve
donned a crimson and white uni
form, will be one OF the many candi-
dates for the Rutgers varsity base
ball nine for the coming season.
Browning, who has played at short
stop for several seasons, as catcher
for a while, and also as an outfield-
er, has chosen the backstop position
as his goal and will try to please the
coach Of the Rutgers varsity nine
when practice is called.
Browning is a member of the
p. A. H. S. class Of 1912. He has
played baseball for many years and
hat he will make q good showing
this coming season Is certain for he
has been playing in good style, .o1
Jew years. Whether or not
he will be able to win a berth with
the varsity aggregation depends only
upon how good the other candidates
for the position are. But that they
will have to show real class to get
the Job Is the confident feeling of
tie many admirers OF the once Grim
son and white idol.
Bones" Is a patient batter and
therefore one who is a good man to
head the batting order. He Is not
q strong hitter or a slugger but ls
a dangerous "sticker." His work as
backstop is more flashy than 1T Il
consistent. But his strong point Is
In his ability to lead a pitcher. HI
Is q wise tosser and Is able to Judge
the weakness of a batter more thar
aiany catchers. He can Away!
steady his battery mate when a rail-,
is being made by the opposing team
This strongness will no doubt bt
noticed by the county seat coach ant
1t Is expected that this may do much
to land him a regular berth with thu
varsity crew OF Rutgers college.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
~ NV

By all means all lovers Of the bas-
ketball game should witness the fair
sex game In the Auditorium Monday
afternoon. The girls of the physical
education school in New York put
up a wonderful brand of hall and are
worth seeing.
The attendance at the inter-class
games has been very small. Manager
Eggert states that unless more class
spirit is shown 1t is very likely that
the athletic association will deem II
necessary to abandon its inter-class
idea.
The Becker bunch had better
get busy again. They saved the
sophomore pennant Halloween

Try to Interest Superinten-
tent of Copper Works

Edward Hardiman, who war
prominent In this city's baseball ac-
t~ivitfes two seasons ago, has offered
a plan which may result in the cree
ton Of an enclosed baseball park on
the copper works grounds. Nearly
every team in these parts which has
any championship ambition at all,
has at some time or other, planned
to build a park for the coming sea
sol. However, at the present time
there is nothing being done towards
the erection of a baseball park.
That this city should have an en-
closed playing space for the popular
national pastime is certain. But
the "where?" has always been the
riddle.
It Is now proposed that a COM
mittee comprised of Joseph Mullen,
Martin J. O'Hara, Frank Applegate,
and two representatives Of the press,
confer on Monday night relative to
offering a proposition to S%uperinten-
dent A. C. Clark, of the Raritan Cop
per Works, regarding the building
Of a fence around the copper works
baseball diamond. The committee
will be advised to interest the Board
Of Trade In this matter as the ones
interested already claim that by hav-
Ing an enclosed baseball park, many
out-of-town lovers of the game are
brought into this city and the city
Is thereby advertised. The city also
would receive the other benefits
which usually comes with a crowd
OF visitors. is pointed out.

and there Is a chance that the propo.
sition may result In the PERTH

Cordova, August 14.

For a week past there have been all kinds of rumors floating about Cordova to the effect that W. D. Woods, formerly of this city and Valdez, had been appointed United States marshal for this division. A wire to Seattle brought the reply that nothing was known there of the appointment. The latest rumor today was that information had reached the present incumbent that MT. Wood had been appointed to succeed him. A cable to the Valdez Prospector brought the following reply:
 tKnow nothing about Wood, Just one of those fool stories that keep newspaper men busy hunting the ass that started the story, i'll the hopes of verifying it.''
 The steamer Senator sailed from Nome on August and should reach Seattle today. She is bring ing a large number of stampeders who will try their fortune in the new Chisana country. Many others on Seward peninsula are arranging to leave soon for Seattle so as to be prepared to join the rush to the new diggings. A wire from Nome states that the excitement there is becom- ing intense and the feeling prevails that the next big strike of placer gold in Alaska will be at the head waters of the Panama river. Owing to the continued drought this sum- mer, a small amount of dredging has been done and the interest of the men who can be spared is turned toward Cordova and the Chisana.
 Capt. Ben Durkee who returned with his launch Triton from Valdez departed yesterday afternoon for Katalla. He took with him as a passenger Mrs. Dr. PayZant. She expects to bring over her household furniture and establish a home at Kennecott, where the doctor is the physician for the Bonanza mine. After she returns she will likely be accompanied into the interior by her sister, Mrs. L. M. Price, who will make her a visit.

 George W. Irving, of Ketchikan, formerly assistant district attorney, arrived on the Northwestern, having made the round trip to the west ward. He has several horses com ing on the Alameda and when they arrive expects to go to the Chisana country.
 Walter Soderburg, of San Fran cisco, is among the passengers on the Northwestern. He will go to Juneau and likely return here, a little later to go into the new gold diggings. He is an old sourdough from Nome.
