By "Chick'' Evans.

~ HICAGO, March 12.-About two
years ago I met Willie Richie
at O'Connell's gymnasium,
Either Packey Mcfarland or Emil
Thirty introduced him, and the meet
ing was very pleasant and cordial, and
remember that l liked him very
much.
At that time he was not the famous
person that he is to-day for the
lightweight championship of the
world had not then been won, but
the impression ] formed of him at
the meeting was so agreeable that
thereafter / followed his movements
as set forth on the sporting sheet
with great interest When l heard
that the lightweight champion of the
world had determined to become a
golfer, I became more interested in
him than ever.
THERE is no mistake about it.
Willie Is golfer. and he assured
me that he would rather be cham
pion golfer than a champion boxer.
This remark was surely very pretty
compliment to pay TO golf, whether
he really meant 1t or not. He says
that his great ambition is to wallop
his manager, Harry Foley, at golf.
it seems that on the municipal links
of San Francisco Foley defeated him

Willie has made arrangements to
go up to George O'Neirs golf school

co instead of worrying about VOL
- CAST Richie is wondering why he
is pulling across and what Is the
matter with his swing. He is a very
promising pupil and very ambitious
to make first class golfer So far
he Is the first boxer who has taken
up golf seriously.
He asked me how old Travis was
when he won his greatest victories
Between As and so" told him. He
beamed THAT is all right he said.

lete OF other sports has ever won
big golf championship, but there Is no
reason why one shouldn't Let us
hope that Richie succeeds 1t is
long, long path and uphill, and
pleasant one withal.
Golfers will be interested in both
his sports hereafter, and they wish
him all possible good fortune.

NEW YORK, March 12.-It must
make the veteran fans and the
old-time twirlers giggle a bit
behind their goatees when sporting
scribes OF the present day attach the
title of iron man TO every finger
whose name figures in upward of 35
games each season.
In this day and age fandom slips
the laurel to and goes into Iaptures
over the remarkable endurance pow
ers" shown by Ed Reulbach, big Ed
Walsh, Walter Johnson, Jack Coombs'
"Rube" Marquard and few others
who have worked in about 40 games a
season and emerged with a rather
healthy winning percentage.
But in the days that are gone a
pitcher was considered = mighty lazy
and useless bloke if he didn't work in
a least SO games-and 80 games, IN
those days. meant 80 complete games.
In these days it quite often happens
that a pitcher whose name figures IN
40 games worked in only about 30
IulI games, anu ludl III tlIC CNitS' ~
games he worked only an inning or
two as a relief pitcher.
q AZING back along the trail that
" leads to the yesterday of base
ball. one finds some achievements by
the old-time pitchers that overshad-
ow even the remarkable present-day
performances of Christy Mathewson'
Walter Johnson and the other pltch-
ing stars of this period.
Back i'm 1884 Charles Radbourne,
the wonderful Providence pitcher,
worked in 70 games-pitched ottener
than once every other day and nm
ished the season with a winning per-
centage of 1913. A year later john
Clarkson. another of the great old
time pitchers, twirled 70 games for
Chicago. getting rating of $50. -Four
years later-in 1SS9-Clarkson equal
ed Radbourne's record for the number
of games pitched in one season, by
twirling 70 for percentage Of 1856.
Rut even more wonderful than
these performances is that of A. o.
Spalding. now one Of the leading
sporting goods men Of the country
Standings record for consistent win
ming in the pitchers box, and for en-
durance powers as a pitcher, perhaps
never will be equaled.
He led the league for five success
sive wears Here is his record:

Routine Matters.

After discussing the probable fire risk on the city hall building it was decided not to increase the insurance at this time on account of the low con dition of the city finances.
 A communication was read from Wettrick & Wilhelm, relating to the establishing of official survey monu. ments in certain localities for the pur- pose of facilitating the proper loca. ton of the property lines.
 A communication was received from R. F. Lewis, of the Juneau Water com. pany relating to the request for a water main along Willoughby avenue. Mir. Lewis stated that at present a water main along this thoroughfare would not have support enough to maintain it and that patrons along the street could be served by latterals from other mains. He stated that he would be pleased to take up the mat ter with the city again next spring.
 A. A. Gabbs, was named for clerk Of the election board to take the place of John Mclaughlin, who cannot serve.

AMERICAN WAR LOANS.

The dicision of the United States government opposing loans by Ameri- can bankers made to nations at war is heartily to be approved. It does not dodge the question. It does not haggle over the matter whether or not the law of nations will allow such loans. It simply goes to the root of the question, to the spirit, not the let ter of rules of neutrality, and says with the utmost brcvity that such loans "are inconsistent with the true spirit of neutrality"
 To be sure, our merchants have the right to send foodstuffs, at their own risk of capture, to countries at war; and to be sure, the loan asked for might be all expended in this country for foodstuffs, so that no gold goes out of the country; but a hundred millions borrowed here and spent here for wheat releases as much over there to be spent for war material. We would not sell powder or guns. but we would make it possible for them to do so.
 In this action the government has accepted the principles laid down first, we believe, several years ago by MT.

ONE DISPUTE SHOULD
 BE SETTLED NOW

One fact in the history of Valdez ought to be settled in the interest of truth and justice. For more than two years Delegate Wickersham's part, or lack of any, in the passage of the Val dez dyke appropriation through Con- gross has been a matter of much dis. pute.
 It has been strongly asserted that the Delegate gave no aid to the dyke bill because 1t was originated by Col. onel Richardson and championed by Senator Nelson. The Delegate's s friends have stoutly asserted that he gave it active support.
 This dispute may be easily settled Let Judge Wickersham furnish to Val dez copies of any speeches or state ments in support of the bill he made in the House or before the House com, mittee which had the bill in charge
 No such speeches or statements have ever yet been made public prop erty in Valdez through general circu lation.-Valdez Miner.

Bryan himself and elaborated in an address three years ago at the meet. ing of the American peace congress by the banker, James Speycr to the effect that one of the best ways to reduce war would be for bankers to refuse to finance a war by loans.
 This decision by our government is proof of a real desire to put an end to war. without regard to our own in- terests. It is to the present interest of our bankers, and of our people who would buy bonds, to make such loans at profitable rates. We decline to take that benefit. We take the larg. CT world-vtew of peace and war; and in the end the advantage which will come from shortening the war and forcing peace will be greater than the immediate gain which takes profit out of a sister nations calamities. We could lend to both sides: we lend to neither; We keep clear from com plications, and we help the cause of peace.
 This is a splendid precedent to make in the practice of international law and forecasts the day when neutral nations will automatically cease all intercourse with those who engage in war.-New York Independent.

PLAN
 IS NOW IN EFFECT

The drawing was had at last nights meeting of the City Council to deter mine the order of call for the several amounts of money and credits to ne loaned to the city by citizens and business institutions for the purpose of taking care of such warrants as may be issued at the time of such is- sue and for which there are no funds available from the revenues of the city. Nearly all who have volunteered their credit to the city in this way have qualified in amounts of $1,OOO each and some appear more than once on the list. The drawing is as fol- lows:
 H. T. Tripp, E. k. Jaeger, Claude Erickson, Milton Winn, George Miller, S. H. Ewing, V. H. Wilhelm, c. Y. Young Co.,, G. H. Whitney, c. w. Young Co.,, c. F. Forrest, J. R.

Shar- ick, w. w. Casey.
 This plan of financing the city was found necessary on account of the rev enues being insufficient to provide for the payment of obligations of previous city administrations, the running ex- penses of the city and for the new municipal improvements found to be necessary.
 A portion of the above guarantees have already been advanced and the drawing of last night was to be pre- pared for further advances when need | ed.
