Brief is IN bad slump and has been
for some time. Breton is a weak
man on attack, and, excet when Reb
Russell pitches, little can be expected
of the HEAVIER.
Breton stood with the bases loaded
yesterday and watched a third strike
float by. Undoubtedly he was out
guessed, but it was a bad place to al
low one to be slipped over, as the
count was three and two, and all the
runners were on the move, as two
were out.
Roth still keeps to the bench,
though he can outhit either Tommy
Quinlan or Breton. Quinlan is due
to lose his situation in center field as
soon as Felsch regains the use of his
ankle. That should be tomorrow in
New York.
The defeat dropped the Sox to Sec
ond place, as Detroit beat the Yam
KEGS.
Faber was trying to win his ninth
straight game. He dealt only four
hits, and one of these was a punk
bit of judgment of fly ball by Quin-
Ian that should have made the third
out. Instead it went for triple and
two runs counted. Weaver also help
ed the scoring by messy peg of an
easy chance.
Joe Tinker's Whales sat idle yes
terday and watched Brooklyn take
from them sixth place in the Federal
league. This was accomplished
through a double defeat of Bal
timore. Today the Whales are ex-
hibiting in Havana, ILL.,, the home of
Fred Beck. They have no more
league baseball until Thursday, when
they start a fve-game series in Kan
sas City. At present George Stovall

returns.
Thus far in the season the only
man consistently good on the staff has
been Jeff Tesreau. Stroud has done
better than was expected, but he still
needs experience. Schaur and
Schupp have been carried long time
for just such an emergency as ap-
pears now, but it seems McGraw is
afraid to trust them with the respon-
sibility of a full game.
Vanguard has been very good and
very bad. He has pitched on no-hit
game, but that performance was fol-
lowed by lambasting that sent him
to the shower, and since then the en-
envy has not been finding him difficult
to solve.
Yesterdays postponement has been
carried forward to Sept. %. The
Giants wind up their first visit this
afternoon.
Tomorrow the PhiIIies come to
town for four battles and the result
of these games will decide the own
ership of first place for few more
days at least No matter what the
results of today's games may be, the
Cubs will have half game margin
when they entertain the Phillies.
Three wins in four games will give
them a comparatively safe hold on
the top Alexander has been saved by
Manager Moran for the opening
game tomorrow and may be used
also on the last day of the series.
Eddie and John Collins and Jack
Fourier seem to be the only Sox fell
lows who can keep up their hitting.
Each day this trio turns in at least
three hits for a total, and yesterday
they produced the full quartet made
by the Hose, Eddie getting two.
The remaining members of the
crew have mislaid their eyes. This is
especially true of Ray Schalk, who
has been doing little clubbing since
he was pushed up to second place in
the batting order. Previous to this

SERGEANT DECLARED DEAD
 IS ALIVE AND WANTS PAY

LONDON, Jan. 11-(Correspondence of the Associated Press-Ofiicially en- tered on the war office rolls as dead over four months ago, Sergeant c. Bennett of the Narfolk Regiment has had to prepare documentary proof of being alive in order to obtain his pay
 The sergeant was wounded at the outbreak of the war. On his dis charge from the hospital he went home to regain his strength A few days ago, he took a trip to his regimental headquarters and applied for his back pay. His major, who knew him well, regretted that he was unable to do any thing. since it Is not army custom to pay dead men.
 Bennett is now obtaining afldayits from his former employer, his pastor and the police to convince the war off ce that he is still alive and entitled to pay.

While in California he had assurances by the fair manage ment that ample space for all Alaska exhibits would be provided.

LIBERAL CONTRIBUTION
 FOR TRAIL FUND DEFICIT

In the building of winter trail from Mccarthy to the Sushanna gold camp which work was undertaken by the business people of Cordova when the big stampede was on to the new dig gings, there was a deficit of about $2,300. The money to meet most of thes bills was advanced by local pub lie spirited citizens and as it is de- sired to wiped out this indebtedness an effort Is being made to secure the necessary amount. The Copper River & Northwestern railway was appealed to for contribution and Supt Corser has had advices from Vice President Baxter that their company was willing to assist in meeting the deficit in a sum not exceeding $1,000 This the committee considers liberal offer and as a number of business people are willing to subscribe liberally it Is not believed that any difficulty will be ex- perienced in raising the necessary amount to cancel all obligations.

ENGLAND D|SCARDs MANY
 DRUGS DECLARED IMPURE

LONDON, Jan. 11-(Correspondence of the Associated Press) )-The adop- tion of the metric system by the new British Pharmacopei, is not the only revolutionary change of the new code. Over 160 of the old drugs are discarded and about 40 new one introduced Stricter tests for impurities are also re- quired
 The new pharmacopeia strikes from it's lists such familiar drugs as sars- aprilla. gamboge. musk and dandoiion extract. Among the new druge are recorded acetyl salicylic acid, whose trade name of aspirin seems to be taboo, and diethylbarbituric acid, common known by It's German name of vernoal. Adrenalin resocin and senna pods are included.
 Some of the drugs are much potent under the old standard. Tineture of Strophanthus is four times it's former strength and the new laudanum B Der cent. stronger than formerly. But nux vomica has been reduced to about half of its strength.

GOOD WORK DONE FUR FEDERAL
 BUILDING

Delegate Wickersham writes the the local Chamber of Commerce, ac- knowledging a copy of a resolution drafted requesting the immediate de- termination of the matter of the site for a public building at Cordova, and since his letter was written the Treas ury Department has selected the site adiourning the Windsor Hotel and the deed to the lots have been turned over to the department by the Townsite Company, as published exclusively in The Times last week. How matters were expedited is shown by the fol- lowing excerpt from Delegate Wick ershams letter: Some days ago I went with Mir. Hazelet to see the Secretary. We saw the assistant secretary and supervising architect. who have charge of these matters
 but did get as much satisfaction as we had hoped. MT. Hazelet made an ar rangement to go back with the sup port of some other parties and think they will get 1t fixed satisfactorily. Hazelet has gone into the matter very fully and understands now that there is nothing more to be done except to

Peace has her victories no less than
war" No one can dispute that, and
the fellow who sprung it ran no chance
of precipitating an argument. He
might have gone still further and add
ed that peace also has her defeats,
without being invited to join the cele-
brated Ananias club. Perhaps, how
ever. he didn't care to call attention to
the dark side of the picture, and he
stopped short.
The State Board of Health shares in
this reluctance to call attention to
dark possibilities, but we must say that
in our battle against. disease we will
be defeated, or, at least, only gain a
very small victory, unless the various
counties ally themselves with US and
help us do battle with Georgia's chief
and death. While
the last Legislature, through some
oversight or other, very unfortunately
failed to provide the State Board with
an increased appropriation to carry
out the increased work which they put
upon the Board, at the same time they
did make it possible for the counties to
help themselves, and to fight their own
fight to a greater extent than ever be-
fore. Through the passage of the
Ellis Public Health bill every one of
our counties was provided with a
county board of health, composed Of
three persons: (a) the county school
superintendent, (b) the chairman of
the county board of roads and revenues
Tor in case of'counties having no such
boards, the ordinary shall act), and
(c) a physician to be appointed by the
grand jury.
This bill was approved by the Gov
ernor on August 18th, and thereupon
became law. The grand juries in the
several counties have yet to meet and
appoint the third member of the sever
al boards-that is, the physician. This,
the law says, must be done, therefore,
it shall be done, but, after this county
health board is completed, the law
