AVER WINS DOG RACE
FROM NOME TO SOLOMON

Nome, Alaska, March 3.-Fred Aver
finished first in the Solomon Derby
dog race that was run from Nome
over the snow trail to Solomon and
return yesterday. His time for the
64 miles was six hours, 80 minutes,
four seconds. John Johnson, winner of
last years Derby, was close second
with his team of Siberian wolves and
finished two minutes after Aver.
The five teams that entered the race
started under clear skies but a winu
and snow storm that reached the pro-
portions of a blizzard developed as the
race progressed and the heavy going
destroyed chances of lowering time
records of other years. Johnson's
time last year, which fixed the record
for the course, was five hours, AZ min
utes, "a seconds.

Sporting Gossip Of the Day
Another Big Boost for Baseball
Coming Summer in Augusta.

that our own Bart Folsom has been
consulted about players.
If Bart is as faithful as we all be-
lieve him to be. he will not let any
player leave Augusta, for the Trolley
League leadership is the place he
wants and is going to have if the fans
want his help.
Sam Manley's suggestions are fine,
the ball grounds were in bad shape,
causing very poor fielding. especially
when Neal Violette came to bat.
The placing of the diamond as sug-
gested would allow small grand
stand and bleachers on both sides
something that is badly needed and
the need of fence, then not SO nee
essary.
Some mention has been made of the
diamond at Capital Park. 1t can be
made to equal any in the State with
a little care but of course it may seem
a little too far away. In these letters
from fans this might be discussed.
I wonder If a small entertainment
would hit the fans? I think our live
wire Elden Hanks was going to give "a
playlet pertaining to the life around
training quarters of prominent box
ers. Why not pull it off together with
one pertaining to baseball. With the
local boys and fans in the title roles
the crowds ought to flock to show
their support for the National game SO
recently approved by the King Of Eng
land himself.
Let's keep on going and suggesting
in hopes that something may happen
soon and above all don't let us forget
that Augusta must have a real ball
team this summer and that the support
of every one is needed to make it and
the Trolley League success in every
way.
My money, time and suggestions.
such as I may be able to give, are
ready when the call for the faithful
will be made. Who will be the next
one at the bat? Don't be backslider
and strike out without even swinging.
r. S.
With the boys.

To the Sporting Editor of the Kenne-
bee Journal:
have been pleased to read in your
recent issues that the baseball fans,
and Augusta has some good ones. have
started things going for what / be-
lieve will be the best summer baseball
that Augusta has ever seen. Newspa-
per talk may not be the best way to
start the ball rolling but l am sure
that some new ideas or suggestions that
may be of benefit to the directors can
be gained if the real dyed-in-the-wool
fans express, their views.
Now we all hate to depend on his
tory to further a good cause but a
short review of last season may be of
interest to those who may not be in
formed as to strangers among us. AS
team Augusta seldom played with
the same lineup any two games and
without very much extra practice and
without regular pitcher most of the
season this bunch of players lead the
league in batting average and stolen
bases, which shows that they had
plenty of the old pep" and ginger,
without which a baseball game is nom
plus. The personal of the team was
beyond reproach and big credit to
the Capital City. With the same line
up, more practice and regular pitch
er that same team would give a grand
seasons sport for the fans. But to
the directors must be given 6. lot of
credit for their painstaking efforts
when the league seemed on the verge
of going up. Financially the Augusta
club came out ahead and when you
consider the dead head element that
attended the games without paying, 1t
is certainly a fine showing.
Now for this summers sport. AL
ready some plans have been made to
secure the best pitcher available and
not already signed by the Federal
League which has been looking up the
records of our last seasons players. I
have 1t On good authority that the
Federal League leaders have heard
that Augusta was live ball town and

Players--Has Played Fair
--Rumors of Changes of

Chicago, March 3.-The greatest war of
baseball history was threatened by Pres
ident Gilmore of the Federal League to-
day as the result of reports that the
American and National Leagues We're
'proselyting among the Federals' players
News that Pitcher Blanding had rejoined
the Cleveland Americans after having
signed a Federal contract made President
Gilmore decide to take action. Besides
Blanding, Killifer and Williams and
Baumgardner are players who, the Fed
erals claimed, have violated contracts
with the new league.
'If the National and American League
clubs are trying to take our signed men
away from us we will take their result
away" said Gilmore. I'VE have unlinit-
ed cash and the united support of all our
club owners and hackers.
up to this time we have played fair
with our rivals. We gave up Cole. despite
his having signed with the Chicago club,
when we believed that the courts would
have given him to Us. We signed Killifer
and Blanding in good faith. and advanced
money to them.
"If the American and National Leagues
ignore our contracts and fail to appre-
ciate the spirit of sportsmanship We have
shown, we will start the biggest of base
ball wars. When it is over. the Federal
League will have the stars of the old
leagues and will be the strongest in the
game"
Negotiations were begun today, it Is
said, between President Gilmore and Ray
Collins, the Boston American pitcher,
