SPORTING REVIEW
BY HAL SHERIDAN

(Written for the United Press.)
NEW YORK, April 24.-Geography
of the sporting grounds about this
village are today threatened with re-
markable metamorphosis. Changing
conditions of sports, by statute and
natural development are working n
remarkable change in geography.
Passage of the American League
baseball park in the Highlands" is
bringing fond recollections to fans.
Instead of the cheers of fans over
home run swats, the former American
league diamond may resound with
cries of pain from hospital which is
projected there. A deal has been
closed for the sale of the baseball
property, which was finally conceded
to be poorly located for baseball pur-
poses, to church hospital organiza-
ton has been practically consumma,-
ed.
"Some day" the American leaguers
hope to have baseball home on their
home, with the new blood-any money
-transfused into its veins by the re-
cent change of ownership.
Another famous sport field which is
thrown into the discard by the de-
cadence of horse racing is the old
Sheepshead Bay race course. This is
"a case of the shelving of horse in
favor of the automobile, the race
track having been bought by syndi-
cate of automobile race promoters,
who plan to stage such contests as
the Vanderbilt cup and Grand Prix
race. An eliptical Emile track of
concrete is planned.

KANSAS CITY, April A.-Over
three hundred individuals are in the

RAILWAY EMPLOYEES
FIGHT THE JITNEYS
United Press.

United Press.
CHICAGO, April 24.-Chicago car
employees, both on the elevated and
surface lines, plan an attempt to put
their unions on record as opposed to
Tie jitney bus. Resolutions may be
adopted calling upon union men and
sympathizers throughout the United
States to boycott the jitneys, because
they present menace to street car
employees.
Statistics of the Chicago elevated
and surface line companies show that
ine profits are made only on short
rna passengers. The strap hanger al
ways is carried at hundred per cent
profit.
The jitney, it is feared, will do
away with the strap hanger and will
lift the short run passenger from the
ear The consequent injafy to the
street car companies is dreaded by
the union men on the theory that low
er wages may be an outcome.

Changes in the Alaska mining have been so rapid and

Undoubtedly congress will awaken to the realization
that the Alaska legislators of the kind that have had the
past are not competent make mining laws that will

thing under the direction the United States
There will be oppose this plan the general ground
that the people of Alaska should be given the right
possible to make their laws which would be true the
population here extensive enough to provide experienced
lawmakers But the fault to lie in the fact that the
Aaskans who competent to lawmakers do
the job rule and thus of experience sometimes
of ability that n selected for that important trust
This will be changed the country settles and the people
take interest in local legislation.
Of course The Citizen does not mean to infer that all of the
members of the Alaska Legislature incompetent mex
perenced men, but it does that there have been enough
incompetent the sessions that have been held

this class of laws This only be done by having the

What the will probay do in the end will be to
revoke all the mining passed by the Alaska legislature and
to place all mineral lands the Territory control of
