 OId-Time Game.
 NEW YORK-Parke II. Davis. | IIuGtlbI, 50, Nut ulSlllI \ NlSiIt'l and erudite intercollegiate athletic antiquarian, has compiled a complete record of Yale. Harvard and Prince
 ton pitching in the past 1T years. In all that course. Mr. Davis, after pro found investigation. finds but two instances of no-hit. norun games.
 These were in 1875 and 1877. The
 professional, was achieved by Joseph
 McElro Mann, '76, of Princeton, in
 a game against Yale, played at New Haven May 29, 1875. Mir. Davis
 notes that in professional compila- tions the first nohit, no-run game
 is credited to Bridley. of the St.
 Hartford Such a record. however. says Mr Davis, is erroneous, as the
 Princeton-Yale game, noted above. is entitled to this distinction The factors leading up to MT. Mann's record are interesting, involving as
 they do the advent of the curved ball. William A Cummings, of the old Brooklyn Stars, imparted to the ball his rotary notion" or. as others called it. horizontal twist in 1867. In October 1874 Cummings visited Princeton with the Philadel
 phia nine. and entertained the crowd
 before the game by throwing curve
 balls from home plate to second. MT. Mann, the Princeton pitcher, was i'm
 mediately interested. He set to work
 to learn the idea, and by spring had
 mastered not alone the out but the in curve Most important of all, as
 Mir Davis points out. he was able
 to apply his achievements not to exhibition purposes, but to practical use in games.
 James A. Tyng, Harvard's great
 third baseman and catcher of that
 period, has written how his Harvard
 nine of 1874 struck out before Mann's delivery, the platers not knowing
 why they were missing. At all events,
 Princeton was quite ready for Yale

Biggest Payday.

JUNEAU, June 1.-The biggest payday in the history of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company was yes terday. Over $13O,0OO was distributed by the cashiers to the $50 men em- ployed. The checks went to every man employed by the company, and were sent out 10 the five camps.
 The next largest payroll was a year ago, when s125,0O0 was paid out for the months work. From es- inmates of officials of the company, it is believed the amount paid out will steadily increase during the sum- mer, as heavy construction work in all departments is under way, es- pecially at Annex and Carlson creeks, where power units are being estab- lished. The doubling of capacity of the reduction mills at Thane also will swell the grand total paid in the Sheep creek division. during the next three or four months.

To Inspect Mine.

Captain John Irwin, of Victoria, one of the best known navigators on the Seattle, Victoria, Skagway run of the Canadian-Pacific steamers, was Valdez visitor Friday evening while the Mariposa was at the dock.

 Hollands Best Story.
 Jack Holland of the St. Joseph Western League Club. tells this story:
 One July afternoon last summer when the Omaha and Sioux City clubs of the Western League were indulg ing in a hot battle a commoton was noticed in one end of the grandstand in the first named city The several hundred fans rushed through the long aisles of the stands. every one craning his neck over every one else's shoul der in an attempt to discern the i'm mediate cause of the trouble.
 Finally the umpire held up his hand as a signal for the contest to halt then, removing his mask and donning his hat he approached the stands. and cried in a loud voice:
 Ladies and gentlemen A hush fell.
 The umpire cleared his throat and then proceeded with the announce ment:
 "'I want to say to the owner of that gray mare that she's down and cant get up. Play ball
 And the game was continued.' Girl Tennis Champion.

 The victory of Miss Bjurstedt marks the first time in the history of the championship that the title has gone to a foreign player. It was the sec ond national title for the Norwegian, for she won the indoor tennis cham pionship early in the year shortly af- ter her arrival in this country.
 Her defeated opponent, who was Hazel Hotchkiss, of Berkeley, Cal, be fore her marriage, held the national title three times, having won it in 1909 1910 and 1911. The championship was won last year by Miss Mary Brown, of Los Angeles, who did not come east to defend her title.
 In the tournament Miss Bjurstedt represented the West Side Tennis Club of New York: therefore the Wis sahicken cup, at least, does not leave the United States.

Describes kenai.

The geology and mineral resources of Kenai Peninsula have been inves- tigated by expeditions of the United States Geological Survey since 1898 and results have been made public in several reports, All this information has now been co-ordinated and sum- marized in a new publication entitled Geology and Mineral Resources of Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, by Geo. C.. Martin, B. l.. Johnson and U. s. Grant. issued as bulletin 597 of the United States Geological Survey.
 Kenai Peninsula contains auriferous lode-bearing areas of some promise, done only on small scale. Auriferou3 gravels are widely distributed in the northeastern part of the peninsula and have been mined in a small way for twenty years The future of placer mining on the peninsula de pends on the exploitation of many large bodies of gravel carrying val ues too low to permit development by the simple methods thus far chief ly used. On the Cook Inlet side of the peninsula there are very large deposit. of lignitic coal which, though now almost entirely unused, are a possible source of power. and hydroelectric developments are also

 NEW YORK.-In an effort to ln- crease the popularity of soccer foot ball. the National Collegiate Athletic Association some time ago collected data from various colleges all over the country which furnished interest ing facts about why the game has never reached the popularity Of the American Rugby game. The canvass among the colleges. however, showed that the game is growing in interest. not so much as an intercollegiate sport, but a game in which numer- ous students may take part among themselves In this regard the game is highly regarded among college athletic directors as valuable ad- junct to physical education.
