Mike Mitchell, the ex-Pirate, continues
to shine both at the bat and in the field.
Mike grabbed only one single yesterday,
but 1t counted a run, while he lassooed
two sacrifice hits to his credit. In the
field he handled three chances in great
style.
Eddie Foster. the little third sacker,
was the king Of the stickers. Eddie
cracked Earl Hamilton for two singles
and a double and then walloped Taylor
for a one spot. Against James, though.
Eddie took three swings and a drink of
water.
In the fifth inning Gandil tried to score
from first when Shanks bounced double
on the right field wall williams,
though, played the ball in great style and
the relays Of Williams and Pratt to
Agnew nailed the big frst sacker by many
feet

He had been unable himself. to get
much education as he was helping to

WAR ALARMS RICH
 HUNTERS IN ALASKA

FAIRBANKS, Aug. 20.--Fearful lest his parents and sister have met with slime mishap in Europe because of the international complications there, C.. o. Iselin, Jr., member of the Bel mont-Morgan-Iselin hunting party which is on the way to the Kantisbna district, yesterday wired to New York to find out whether they are safe or not. Mir. Iselin, ST., is in Europe with Mrs. Iselin and a younger daughter, visiting their eldest daughter who is Countess Ferdinand Colloredo- Mannsfeld, of Austria.
 Mir. Iselin, Jr., is greatly concern ed over the present turbulent times, but expects theat there will be no nee essity to return unless real danger to his parents comes up. He says that his father went to Europe some time ago, primarily to visit his daughter and son-ih-law and also to see Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht, the new chal- lenger, which 1t is expected will com pete with the American craft for the cup.
 Press dispatches from the East state that the race probably will be postponed because of the war, and if 1t becomes more strenuous, it is possible 1t may be called off alto gether. Mir. Iselin has sailed in several of the big International races and is owner of the boats which won on different occasions from the Eng land boats.
 Arrangements are being made to forward copies of newspapers and letters and other mail to the Kan tishna by special messengers, in or der that the hunters can keep in- formed concerning the developments in the war zone.-Fairbank Times.
