CAPITAL FANS
FOR TIGERS"
Washingtonians Pulling for
Detroit to Nose Out Bos-
ton for the Pennant.
OTHER SPORTING GOSSIP
Bert Gallia Slated to Oppose Browns
in Third Game of Series
Today.
OTHER SPORTING GOSSIP

Boston's overwhelming victory
over the Detroit Tigers yesterday took
a lot of starch out of the local fans
who are pulling hard for the Junga-
lees to win the pennant. and today
the clubs are just where they were
before the crucial series started.
1t is a fact that the majority of the
Washingtonians are roofing for the
Tigers. probably because Ty Cobb is
on that club and Ty is fighter,
plays the game for all he is worth,
every minute.
The Jungaleers have a mighty tough
row to hoe and If this bunch could
only pull up on even terms with the
Red Sox during the present series, 1t
would be a question of gameness and
fighting spirit down the home stretch.
Gameness and fight have charac-
terized Detroits work all season, but
they are called upon to beat out a
better balanced club. VIII they do
It?
Here's hoping.
Turner Barber viii be back in the
game for the Nationals today play
ing left field in place of Danny Noel
ler. Bert Gallia is slated to pitch and
will probably be opposed by one Of
Rickey's numerous recruits.
Griff is evidently determined to find
out whether in Sam Mayer he pos
sesses either an outfielder. infielder
or pitcher. for he has tried the kid
in all three positions since Mayer
first Joined the club.
Yesterday Mayer only pitched to a
couple of batters and did not look i'm
pressive, but he has a lot of speed
and may develop into a capable per-
former. If the Old Fox decides to
mold him into a slabman.
It is freely admitted by the White Sox
that Joe Jackson has been a poor invest
ment for Owner Comiskey. who paid $780,
600 to the Cleveland club for his release.
Jackson has done little or no hitting
since joining Rowland's team, while the
Clevelands have shown a sudden i'm
provement without him. The failure of
the White Sox to win the pennant with
more than 100000 worth of stars in the
lineup is said to have curbed Comiskey's
wild desire to buy Home-run Baker for
$50, 900.
Says the baseball expert on the Phila-
delphia Evening Ledger:
IF any other team In the country had
the same lead the Phils enjoy at the
present time, with two Eastern teams
battling them for the pennant the fans
would Immediately vote the pennant
but Philly teams have blown up
so often in the past that the fans can
hardly realize that they will keep 60
ing.
-Four victories in fve games played in |
the West. with the strain of the Cruel |
ling race, is a remarkable record, and |
should be conclusive evidence that the |
chance of the Phillies cracking is slim |
indeed. few more days may convince |
the Braves and Dodgers of this fact, and |
then It will be a canter."

NOTES OF THE GAME.

Well. we have two more games with
the Brownies.
Shotten and Howard worked the hit
and-run play to perfection in the open-
ing frame. Shot:en going from first to
third on single to left by Howard.
Sam Agnew made a nice play when
Milan dumped swinging bunt down the
hrst base line. The Brownie catcher
went out and scooped the ball up and
tagged Zeb before he could reach first.
Foster came in on the dead run and
picked Sisters bunt up with one hand
and threw the speed merchant from St,
Louis out by feet.
Ivan Howard had a hot one shot at
him. but he made d nice stop and threw.
to Sisler. but the throw was low and Sis
Ter made a beautiful one-hand pick nm
of the ball.
Pratt and Sisler figured in a fast dou-
Bile play in the second inning, Pratt
touching second and pegging to first in
time to get Acosta
Shanks was caught fatfooted of first
by Agnew in the fifth frame. and Howard
never had a chance to get back to the
bag in safety.
Griff and Nick had lot to say on the
coaching lines. but they could not get
any OF our runners across the nan
Hits were what We needed
Henry went TO the grand stand TO
get Lees high foul fly, and in making
the catch he hit the stand with an
awful impact He was Jared up some
but that did not affect his catching.
When Sam Mayer went in to pitch
one fan said. Mayer. you're there" but
after he had walked two men the fan
continued. "and now you're not"
Cube Acosta did some fast sprinting
in the seventh to get Howard's fly,
which looked good for two or three
bases when 1t started. Acosta just
barely got one hand on the ball. but
that was enough.
Foster ard Gandil pulled Dumont
out of a bad hole in the seventh frame.
when Foster got a hot one tagged
third and nipped tho runner going to
first. 1t was some double play.

" is coming in the security oi horses good enough to win. Never has there been stronger demand for racing material, and it seems as if timber was scarcer than ever. one thing is certain, declares Frank T. Trott in the Boston Globe, fewer sales are being made than in any fall in many years. and this in face of the fact that the leading trainers are in the market with unlimited bank rolls.
 Popular opinion at present threat ems to veer toward Jimmy Clabby, with Mike Gibbons close second for middleweight honors. This is not so much because of any particular victory scored by either, but because the general run of ring followers ad- mire their styles, and figure them to be head and shoulders above their naerest rivals.

Matty was formerly one of the hard hitters playing the outfield for the Tigers and the White SoN He is getting a little old to be fast in the game, but is believed to have good managerial qualities and is expected to place Lincoln well up in the race for 1915.

Cately Bound Over
 To the Grand Jury

Martin Gately was placed under $2,5OO bonds by Commissioner Dillon last Tuesday to await the action of the grand jury on charge of having attacked R. M. Brown with dan gerous weapon on the evening of December 28 MT. Gately waived a hearing but in spite of this the government presented number of witnesses to give evidence in the matter.
 The evidence tended to prove that both Brown and Gately were in the Fraction saloon on the evening of December 28, and that after MT. Brown had been heard to use the word "stoolpigeon." evidently in rela- tion to MT. Gately. the latter walked up to him and struck him on the head with & short piece of pipe. Upon the advice of friends MT. Gate ly concluded to waive hearing and to place the matter in the hands of the grand jury later.
 His bonds had been fixed at first at $500, but after the hearing they were raised to $2,000 The neces- sary bonds were provided and the accused was given his liberty.

General Mining News

Winter Mining.
 Seward Gateway: That placer min ing may be carried on during the winter in this section is now being fully proven by Messrs. Poindexter and partners who have just begun, in the middle of the month of De cember. sluicing their property on Groundhog creek.
 They recently completed fifty foot Hume on the creek and had everything prepared for the starting of operations. The ground at no place ever freezes more than four inches in that locality and when the snow falls on it even the frozen places thaw out again. Groundhog carries too much water in summer for sluicing but the conditions arc perfect in winter.
 MT. PoindeXter says that their ex- pertinent shows clearly that winter placer mining here is perfectly feas- ible The same parties have also sunk 15 holes to bedrock on Bench creek at the head waters of Sixmile and have found prospects. The mild ness. of the climate. they believe, makes this section ideal for dredging all the year round.

Hen" Berry euys Club.
 Henry II. Berry. the old-time Northerner who Is well known to many Fairbanksans. has purchased tke San Francisco baseball club. MT. Berry. who is known generally as Hen" Berry, is one of the best known men in Pacific coast sport ing circles.
 The following is a part of an ar ticle concerning MT. Berry that ap- peared in the San Francisco Chron- icle on December S:
 The official statement this morn ing on the sale of the Seals. battle that has been raging all week, with Kid Delay gathering all the honors, is that Henry H. Berry is the un- disputed owner of the San Francisco baseball club. The papers have been duly signed and witnessed with J. Cal Ewing and Frank M. lsh trans ferring all of their baseball holdings in San Francisco to Henry H. Berry. According to the official announce ment not a delay has been put over until tomorrow, which is rather start ling in view of all the postponements that have been in evidence since the negotiations have been flying back and forth.
 The hitch that held up the deal after the Olympic clubs claims on Recreation park were satisfied was Ewing Field. Berry did not want to take the field because he realizes that it is a white elephant on his hands so far as playing baseball on it is concerned. Evidently. Ewing and Ish did not want to be burdened with the lease that runs nineteen more years and there was the hitch.
 Henry Berry. while not admitting that Ewing held up the deal, declared that he controls both Recreation park and Ewing Field together with the rest of Ewing and Ish's holdings. Just what he will do with the beau tiful. but not serviceable, Masonic avenue diamond plant. Berry says he has not decided, although the Olympic club has the right to use it for a sports field until March 1916.
 "It is settled that the baseball games will be transferred back to Recreation park next season. Ewing and Ish's lease on the old and popu- lar grounds runs until May of 1916 and at the end of that time Berry declares he will have new and modern park to offer to the San fopa"

Even Indians Must
 Suffer From Wa!

It is reported that the Indians in the entire Canadian north will have to receive government aid or un- dergo extreme suffering as result of the European war.
 The Hudson Bay company has ask ed that the government adopt mea- sures for the relief of the Indians. The company explains that owing to prevailing conditions all fur trading concerns, including itself. Revillon Freres and the independent compan- ies, will be unable to make the us ual advance of supplies which in past years has enabled the Indians to do the winters trapping. where by they can earn sufficient not only to pay their debts to the company. but to keep themselves and families over summer. As consequence the Indians are deprived of a liveli- hood. The fur companies claim they have no market for their present surplus
