COUNCILMAN BRITT
 MAKES EXPLANATION

Juneau, Feb. 1-To the Editor-In your report of the deliberations of the city council last Friday, Jan. 30, you quote me as having had a conversa- ton with Governor Strong regarding Mir Slter's qualifications for Chief of Police. Governor Strong never spoke to me about Mir Sitter nor do think he spoke to any other Coun- cilman 10 the matter.
 While ! know Governor Strong will recommend Mr. Sitter as Q good and honest man whom ho has known for many years, he would not mix In our municipal affairs ana recommend Q certain man for municipal position.
 My words at Che council meeting were about these: While a stranger in some way Mir. Sitter is well known and recommended by such people as Governor Strong, Mir. Post, Mr. Ban bury and others who have told me that you would have to comb Alaska with Q fine comb to find a better and moro honest man for the position "- having statement Of Geo. Osborne in mind.

PACKEY ALSO FAILED
Mcfarland Couldn't Stage "Come
Back in Fight With Mike Gibbons.

New York, Sept. 13.-Before the
largest crowd that ever witnessed a
boxing match in this country, Mike
Gibbons of st. Paul, outpointed Pack
ey Mcfarland of Chicago, in a ten
Beach Saturday night. The bout,
which brought together two of the
cleverest boxers in the ring today, was
hard fought from start to finish, but
Gibbons scored the more frequent and
more effective blows.
Mcfarland showed that his long
absence from the ring had dulled his
speed and power to snap punches to
vulnerable points of his opponent $
head and body. Mcfarland showed
flashes of his old rapid fire left, but
the leads were little more than snaps
and did not check Gibbons and his
more effective assaults.
A throng, which was estimated at
$4,000, witnessed the contest, almost
entirely filling the immense arena,
which originally enclosed a third of
a mile motorcycle track. More than
two hours before the principals enter
ed the ring, lines of spectators extend
ed for blocks away from the entrance
and roads leading to the arena were
blocked with double lines of motor
cars.
From the ringside nothing could be
seen but sea of faces which grew

cradle rows of white blotches to the

GEMS C. L. CHAMPIONS.
One Bad Inning Cost Eagle Team the
Seasons HOnOrS.

BY defeating the Eagles Sunday af-
ternoon at Western League park the
Gem grocery team won the City league
championship. The game was spe-
cial post-season battle to break a tie
between the two teams and the final
secret was to 3.
The Gem team made all of its
scores in the fifth inning. Stephen
son, the Eagle pitcher, lost control
and walked three men, and this added
to three hits and a error gave the Gem
players victory.
According to the announcement of
President Snyder, the league hardly
made expenses this season, but, con-
sidering conditions, all are well
pleased with the outcome, and that
the league will be in operation again
next summer seems certain.

The refusal of President O'Neill to call
attend the Western league meeting
showed conclusively how his prexyship
looks at matters.
O'NeiIl has been Iaboring under the
impression that the league was working
for him. However, the club owners have
been deluding themselves into believing
Tip was working for them.
And. just to show Mr.. O'NeiIl that he
was mistaken the club owners proceeded
to tie d nice little can to his coat tail in
a manner that probably was great sur
prise to his Tipperaryship. 1t is to be
hoped Chivington some other man
of his caliber will be given the leader
ship of the league.
O'Nein was a good baseball man. but
the trouble with him was his interest was
not concentrated on the job for which
he drew a munificent salary. And he
couldn't look at all towns with the same
degree of affection.
A game between the Savages and the
Santa Fe G. O.s would probably be as
good as the average exhibition contest.
1t probably would draw better than n
game with an outside club.

Western League President Asked To Resign!
RACES STILL TIGHT
Big League remnants Are Yet
to Be Won.
Lead of Leaders Can Easily Be
Overcome.

New York, Sept. 13.-With the last
International series of the season
in the early stages, the outcome of the
races in both major leagues remains
in doubt The chances appear to ia
vor Phila delphia in the National and
Boston in the American league, the
present leaders in their respective
races, but everything depends on the
showing each makes in the struggle
with the teams of the western divt-
sions now in progress.
In the National league the Phillies
made the best showing of the past
week and retained their lead by a
good margin. AFTER a serious setback
in Brooklyn, where Manager Robin
sons pennant aspirants won three
straight games, Pat Moran's men came
back with a clean sweep over the New
Yorks in a four-game series on the
Philadelphia grounds, and began their
western trip in good style with Sat-
urday triumph over the Pittsburgs,
their fifth straight victory.
Many baseball observers favor the
Quaker's chances because of the
steadiness they have displayed.
Boston, in the American league, lost
ground last week, but Detroit, by fail
ing to make the most of it's chances,
failed to gain much. Meanwhile, Chi
cago has been booming along with a
string of victories and again threaten
ening to become contender, but has
much ground to make up. 70-point
lead at this stage of the race is al
most impossible to overcome. The
Red Sox got their worst setback by
dropping three games in row to the
erratic New Workers early in the
week, but resumed their winning
streak against the Philadelphians and
set the White SoX back by winning the
first games of the series with the
western clubs Saturday, the struggle
lasting eleven innings. The Boston
pitching staff has been showing con-
siderable class ir. recent games and
