SHAMROCK WILL
 REDUCE SERVICE
Launch Will Make Semi-MOnthly Trips to Port Wells During the
 Dull Winter Months.

Capt Tim Marcum, of the launch Shamrock, who has been making weekly trips to Port Wells and way points, is contemplating cutting the service to two trips each month ow- ,ng to travel having fallen off by req son of the fact that the prospectors are nearly all in from the hills and the miners are established for the winter, having landed their outfits earlier in the season.
 The Shamrock has proved herself we'll adapted for the Port Wells trade as she is stoutly built and has suffi- sient power to make headway against the storms which, sweep outside the aarrows. The launch also has good freight carrying capacity and should any travel develop between Portage Bay and Anchorage the Shamrock would be an ideal craft to handle the business between Valdez and Portage Bay. The Port Wells mail contract, which Capt. Marcum now handles, provides for one trip each month dur Ing the winter and two trips each month during the summer.
 The launch will be open to make special trips at any time which does not conflict with her regular service to Sound points, and unless business ss offered will omit making her trip aext Saturday.

success against the Tigers so far this
season has not been prominent. To-
morrow night the two western repre-
sentatiYes leave for the east and then
will come the big scramble for the top
of the heap.
Counting the Sex out, the west
still has an excellent chance to cop
with the Tigers. Jennings and his
gang now stand only a game back
of the Red Sox, and the team has
been playing good ball recently. 9th
ers besides Cobb are hitting viciously
and the pitching staff is in better
shape than at any time this season.
Boston, of course, has the edge in
some ways. The fasteners finish
at home. And Carrigan is boss
ing a powerful baseball combination,
strong in every department of play.
But he has held the team on top for
a long time, and slump would not
he a surprise. Even the tiniest kind
of a slip would be fatal to the Red
Sox. For the Tigers are not slumpers.
They have played the most con-
sistent ball in the league all season.
There have been no miraculous
spurts, tapered off with dismal
slumps. Throughout the season the
team has plugged along at a speed a
trife better than 800. Knowing that
such a team is behind them may af-
feet the nerves of the Red Sox play
ers. The fellow making the pace al
ways has the more difficult task.
Going through the east the Sox
will present the most formidable at
lacking combination any South Side
team has ever had. Murphy, Ed Col
Inns, Jackson and Fourier are all fell
lows sticking well above 300 at the
present time, and, punched in the bat
ting order, they should be good for
more runs than Sox pitchers ever had
to work with before.

league. Because of double defeats
handed Boston and the Phils by the
Dodgers and Giants, respectively, the
lines among the first three teams
have frightened and almost any
changes can occur among the lead
ers on the results of one days play.
Brooklyn trampled over the frames
of the Braves to second place, hold
ing that berth by margin of two
games. They are the same distance
behind the Phils, who still cling to
the top of the pile. AS the teams will
jog westward this week there is no
doubt now that the one that stands
the gaff the best on the road will rep
resent the parent major in the
worlds series.
Brooklyn has been the poorest of
the trio on the road so far this sea-
son, but Robinson is leading an I'M
guessable combination, liable to rise
up at unexpected moments and swat
the opposition soundly and thorough
". It is a team which has power if
it every comes to believe in its own
ability. The memory of the great
rally made at home six weeks ago
will help the morale of the club.
PhiIIies have been an average road
crew. They have not been sensations
either at home or abroad. They
merely ramble along at an even
pace, keeping a step or two ahead of
their pursuers. Every time the Mo-
ran crew has been pushed it has had
the strength to shove back the chal-
lengers and draw away.
Braves are conceded the strongest
road club of the trio, but much of this
opinion is based on the judgment of
last season. The Braves are being
favored because they have been
through a tough grind before and
landed on top. But they have tried
the same rush this season twice. And
each time they have been halted sud-
