J W Wright who was pressman with Nome Nugget Is act ing in the same capacity and his son Irwin is doing the job work Mrs. Stone is cashier, so you can see they have a busy office. and also have a branch paper which is published at Knik and saw n copy of the first issue which was off the press the day of our arrival
 Gus Borgen has a dandy little store and is doing fine. Says he is doing as well as when at Nome, and not having to lay in an immense winter stock takes a load off a mans shoulders. Was also over to see his home and family All were happy and glad to be In Seward
 Harry Hicks is not in business, but he bought some improved property next to the Gateway office which he can sell at a profit of s3,O0O but will hang on.
 Paddy, the Dane, is also bloated land owner. but did not see his hold fngs.
 There are seven saloons in action here now, and without knocking, can say that they are all without excep- ton better equipped in furniture and decorations than any saloon in Nome, but none are as large as the B. O. T. There is one large billiard, pool and bowling room.
 There is some fine agricultural land in back of Seward and far into the interior Those who are in close are Axel Olsen of Nome who has quite a few cows, Hans Walby, and quite a number of Nomeites have taken up homesteads.
 Al Chamberlain is councilman here and acts in the capacity of guide for the government engineers. Al does not boost Seward and is for Portage Bay, and desires to convince me not to make any mistake by too much haste and Al is not alone in making this forecast so one must stop and mediate

TO PLAY HANDICAP
 BILLIARD GAMES

WITH William F. Hoppe holding the
 Al, 18.1 and 18.2 balk line cham pionship so securely that there ap- parently is little chance of any of the veterans or younger players taking the honors from him, contests for the worlds title no longer attract as in the palmy days of Jacob Schaefer, Frank Ives, George Slosson and other famous cueists.
 For some reason or other handicap matches at billiards have not been much in vogue between the leading players in this country, although for many years they have been popular with the leading British players. There are few other branches of. sport in which handicaps are not made the me- dium of equalization in skill. The end aimed at is close competition, and when this obtains the interest of the fan is increased.
 It is planned to put Champion Hoppe on the scratch mark with a rating of 100 and rate the other players accord ing to their skill. Others included in the list are George F. Slosson, Koji Yamada, George Sutton, Ora Morning star, Harry F. Cline Albert G. Cutler, Al Taylor, Jacob Schaefer, Marcus Cation, Welker Cochran and Joseph Mayer, winner of the last amateur championship. who is now included in the professional ranks.
 This plan undoubtedly will be a big help to the rising players, as it would give them a chance to meet all the vet erans in matches that would mean a great deal more than mere exhibitions.

A Slugqer Who Wore Wooden Mitt

Sailors came in droves every night, and at least three of them would try to cop the gilt, but no one ever got away with 1t. This night Corbett saw three of. them go out with one punch, and he told Delaney he wanted to shake hands with the music hall champ as he was the hardest hitter he had ever seen.
 Delaney took Jim behind the scenes and introduced him to the mauler.
 T think you're the greatest hitter ever saw,' piped Corbett. You'll be champion of the world within a year and want to shake your hand"
 AS Corbett said this the young box CT held out his right hand and replied:
 "So would you, MT. Corbett if you had this," and he handed Corbett the wooden glove which he wore on his right hand, the mahogany mitt he knocked the sailors cold with.

Clarke St. Louis has a good pair in Synder and Gonzales. The former is the best in the National league. New York hasn't any cracks Meyers is slowing up, and it would not be sur prising to hear of him being let out next season. Davies, McGraws young ster, is inexperienced, but the Giants leader expects big things from him later.

 Gowdy, Boston's star is putting up his usual brilliant game. While he has not done as well as he did last year, he must be classed with the best.
 In the American league Chicago has the star of the circuit in Schalk. Washington has two good ones in Henry and Ainsworth. Williams, a third string backstop. has also put up fairly good game. New York has a steady man in Numamaker. and so has

WINS TWO OF THREE BETS, BUT
 LOSES S1O IN END.

"HEY, you," said on of those sure
 thing" friends, 'ff you want to make a bit of money bet on Valentine and St. Isidore." The friend explained to the boob that Valentine was "cer- tain winner" in the fifth race at the Aqueduct track and that St. Isidore was ditto in the sixth.
 "Bet Valentine straight and bet St. Isidore straight, place"
 And so the boob did.
 He bet $25 on Valentine to win and s25 on St. Isidore to win and also $25 on St. Isidore for place.
 We'll, Valentine lost, but St. 1sidore won his race. The boob lost the $25 on Valentine, but he won both bets on St. Isidore.
 Now you'll presume that having won two bets and lost one that the boob came out ahead. We'll he didn't. He lost money on his three wagers be- cause St. Isidore paid only to to win and nothing for place. In other words, the boob put up $75. won two out of three bets and lost total of $1O. .... .---..-. ---> Beat the ponies. eh

WHEN Jim Corbett left Frisco to
 box Jake Kilrain in New Orleans his one big desire was to give New York the once over, and after the bout he did so.
 Corbett went to the big city with Bill Delaney who knew New York from one end to the other. Jim was anxious to see all the sights, and Bill was right there. He took Corbett to the Bowery, which at that time was a very lively place and no place for a minister's son.
 The first place they visited was a music hall, where fights were held every evening. A tough young bird, weighing about 150 pounds, held forth there and the management offered $50 to any one who could stick four rounds with him.

YOUNGSTERS FOR ME-"
 SAYS ROGER BRESNAHAN

GIT is the youngsters for me from
 now on: then I know they will act and do as l tell them and in time form pennant winning organization for Chicago"
 This was the gist of Manager Bres- nahan's discussion on future prospects for the Chicago Cubs. He is dissatis- fled with the veterans, not only be- cause the majority of the players on the present Cub team are "old fellows" ," but because he likes to build up club to play, act and do according to the Roger Bresrahan rules of the national pastirne.
 Give me enough young fellows-not stars of the first water, but common horse sense ball players-and in time I'll have a flag winning 'club,' con- tinued Bresnahan. All I want them to do is play according to the rules I set down. Being youngsters. they will be anxious to make good and estab- fish a reputation for themselves, and the result will be that they will fight. If they lose under these conditions then I will be satisfied
 T don't want to say anything detri- mental about the old timers on the present Cub team. Their past record shows that they can deliver, but they don't play my kind of baseball, and as every manager has a different idea of how the game should be played the boys don't like to have me putting in on their pet schemes. However, as long as I am running the club it is not good policy to have clashes over plays and players, so it is only nat ural that I should want my own men around me"

tiful in the big leagues this
 season. Look over the list
 and see for yourself. Nearly every club in the majors has at least one star, or, perhaps, two. Recently several scouts employed by the lead ing clubs have reported that there were any number of good receivers in the minors who in season or two in the big circuits would compare with the best. Of course no club will pass up an Archer or Schalk. so next year we may expect to see a number of first string catchers. %+ E A glance over the list of the receiv- CTS gives the fan a good line on the number of stars who are shining be- hind the bat for the big league clubs. In the National, Philadelphia has two good ones in Killifer and Burns. The sformer was Injured recently. but Burns Jumped in and handled the Quaker pitchers in masterly style. Of course he does not class, with Killifer. The latter is one of the best men in the parent baseball organization Cincin- natl has two stars in Wingo and
