ALAsKA's POWER PossIBLITIEs


 "HE development of hydro-eiectriC
 power in Alaska is as yet in it's
 infancy. Until recently little at tcnuon has been paid to it. for several reasons among which is the fact that there has been little demand for electric power for industrial purposes because of the absence of industries other than that of mining. The vast utilization of water power for the pur- pose of seueratins electrical energy is of comparatively recent origin. but the great success that has been achieved in thus furnishing power for manufacturing and other purposes at comparatively low cost has had a marked effect in the industrial pro gress of the United States and other countries.
 Alaska presents an inviting field for the employment of hydro-electric ener- sy for manufacturing purposes. In the first place it has the water power that is so necessary for the production of cheap electrical energy. It has the raw material in abundance that is es- seutial to the successful operation of hydro-electric plants, and there is an overwhelming market for the products so produced. The manufacture of wood pulp from the forests of Alas ka will soon be an important industry. and so, it is alleged. will be the man. utacture of uitratrs. besides a dozen or more other products which will be cheapIy produced because of the abun- dance and the permanence of water power
 Southeastern and Southwestern AL aska and some sections of the inter for are peculiarly fortunate in thls respect. and ir is entirely safe to pre- diet that within a comparatively short time the water powers of Coastal Al aska will be utilized for the manu- facture of many products for which the United States now depends to great extent upon European countries. The water powers of Norway and Swe- den are now largely used in the pro- | duction of electric power for manu- facturing purposes; and those of Alas ka are much greater. while the raw material is much more abundant.

WHEN THE CANAL IS OPENED.

 ma canal. and they profess to forsee
 greatly increased business. conner cial and maritime. Their view is no doubt correct. and while foreign ma tions will be benefited by the opening
 of this great waterway between the
 two great oceans, the United States should garner the greatest gains. All the cities and towns of the Pacific coast are looking forward to increase of population, and business develop ment, and there seems to be no ade- quate reason why Alaska should not share in the promised prosperity We have plenty of room up here for many people; We have practically unlimited natural resources the raw material which all the rest of the world wants and must have, and these resources are going to be developed for that very reason. And their development will necessitate a larger increased population

Fans the country over, no matter
how their sentiments may be regard
ing the outcome of the worlds series,
agree that Connie Mack's Athletic in
field is an all around superior combi-
nation to Johnny McGraw's first de-
fense Where in the history of base
ball has there ever been greater
quart of infielders than Baker, Barry,
Collins and McInnis on one team?
Every man is an all around STAR and
the combination as a whole can be
classed only with that marvelously
smooth first defense of the Cubs a
few years ago-Steinfeldt, Tinker,
Evers and Chance. Mack's infield is
even better for Baker is better
slugger than was Steinfeldt in his
day, though Steiny hit so hard they
called him "Stingy Steiny." McInnis
may not be up to the standard that
Chance set as a first sacker, but he is
a great little hitter and a fighting
little player.
However, that Cub infield is now
q thing of the past and the Athletic
infield must be compared with that
of the Giants. Those who are not
partisan in their feelings for either
tams because they live in towns such
as Newark-within the neutral
zone" believe that if the Athletics
capture the title this season it will
be due to the superiority of their in
field.
Cunning Comics infield is won

ton, the finest in the major leagues

ATHLETIC INFIELDERS PERFORM FEATS
WHICH SEEM TO BE IMPOSSIBLE

today Minor league managers the
country over pattrn afr Mack's
methods but Connie does not have to
have his ideas copyrighted for while
a manager may get Comics system
he can't get the material to put it
into execution. Some of the plays
Mack's infield pulls off are truly mar
velous because every man is speedy.
This is shown particularly on a, GER
tain scheme which Connie first de-
Yised.
Most managers with a man on third
base and less than two out will order
their infelders to play in on the
grass. The object is to catch a run
/ ner at the plate in case the batter
hits a grounder. Many times this
system is a failure because ground
ers which would ordinarily have been
stopped and turned into at least an
out at first base slip in between the
infielders before they can reach the
ball. The runner scores and the bat
ter gets a single, where at least one
man could have been retired.
Macks system is to have his in
fielders play half way in instead of
on the grass. Thus they can go in. or
out and are sure of getting one man
| in case of a grounder is hit. With
the ballplayer of ordinary calibre a
manager could not perfect such a
system, but Connie has done it and
other managers who have tried it
have been unsuccessful because they
haven't got Comics wonderful set of
infield stars.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Joe Jeanette
outpointed Sam Langford In their
ten round bout at Madison Square
Garden last night. The two colored
heavyweights weighed, Jeanette 1876
and Langford 1891 pounds. Jeanette
was in superb condition, while his
opponent did not appear so well
trained. Langford's weight began to
tell upon him in the latter part of
the contest.
Jeanette outboxed his man in the
first three rounds, using left Jab
to the face to good advantage. the
men fought hard at close range at
times and both suffered severe body
punishment.
In the fourth Langford showed at
his best. Heavy rights and lefts to
the head rocked Jeanette, forcing
him to clinch. Jeanette began to
forge ahead again in the next round,
but strong blows to the body brought
the round to an even break. when
Jeanette was again forced to hold
to avoid punishment.
Langford's exertions began to tell
on him in the sixth round, and In an
effort to bring the contest to quick
close to avoid a loss of points ne
tried hard to send his right over to
the jaw Jeannettes clever foot
work stood him in good stead, how
ever, and he was able to Keep away
from Langford's wild swings, one or
which grazed his jaw by scant
inch.
There were no knockdowns in the
fight, which was less rough than the

no let-up for the Army squad yester-

Daily wasted no time in preliminaries,
driving the men through sharp ten
minute scrimmage with the strong
scrub eleven. The scrubs defense
was almost impregnable and there
was no scoring.
Benedict and Hodgson, in the var
sity baekfeld. contributed satisfac-
torily to the advance of the ball, both
making good gains. McEwan was
hurt slightly and gave way to Wad-
DELL who put up a good game at
centre. Goodman's fine defensive
work in the scrub backfield and
Prichard's good work at quarter were
productive of extended applause from
the side lines.
