Brandt would have been a poor
match for Bonds. His personal
reputation Is said to be not much
better than his reputation as a
boxer. He is not in good boxing
condition, and the match would
undoubtedly have been a farce.
Bonds made a mistake by ever
considering it, but he should feel
lucky now that he is safely away
from the possibility of such an
encounter.

VII y t4<aAASa< = 49,
The greatest game of baseball
ever have seen was PLAYED be-
tween Washington and the Chi
cago White Sox on the afternoon
OF August 8. 1911. in Washing
ton. The fact that both teams
we're far down in the race, with
nothing depending upon the re-
suit. perhaps prevented that game
from becoming famous.
1t seemed that everything that
could take place in baseball hap
pened. Doc White was pitching
against Johnson; and that always
meant . great deal. 1t was the
thunder storm season in Washing
ton and two small ponds of water
were In the outfield, although the
infield was dry and fast.
Three Sox were nailed at the
plate in three rounds, and in the
second Walter, by an astounding
catch, robbed White OF home
run.
Meantime White had been hold
Ing the senator's and not man
reached first until Street singled
with one out In the third. john
son hit the ball with terrific force
and it looked as II IL would clear
the center field fence. The wind
caught the ball and blew II back
toward the field. Bodie by a
hard sprint met the ball coming
toward him as he went out and
made wonderful catch.
In the fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh innings there were four
double plays and one man cut
down at the plate.
Harry Lord, plunging after a
foul fly. dived into the Washing
ton bench head first and made
catch, Zeider, going back of first
as the ball was falling caught IL
just as he turned somersault
over Mcintyre, who was trying to
reach the ball. Both caught the
ball at once, both hung to 1t, as
Zeider did handspring over Nc
Intyre-and they came to their
feet, with the ball clinched in all
four hands.
Mcconnell opened Chicago's
eighth with terrific line drive to
left. Walker. sprinting in, came
clear past the ball while trying to |
avoid the puddle of water, ran
across in front of the water, leap
ed. stuck one hand over his head |
and caught the ball with his back
turned to the diamond and splash
ed down into the pond.
Milan opened the ninth with a |
fierce two-base hit. Schaefer bunt-
ed and the ball was flashed to-
third. Milan beating 1t by a des-
perate slide. Elberfeld popped |
out and Gessler took three swings. |
Schaefer on first, was determined
to end the game right there by
giving Milan chance to score
from third on throw. He trotted |
down to second base-but Payne,
who was catching, refused to
throw and give Milan a chance.

game. He stole from second back 1
TO first. Instantly there was an
nproar. The White Sox claimed
Schaefer was out, and the UNI,
pires refused to decide.
Manager Duffy ran down to the
field umpire to appeal to him to |
call Schaefer out. White started |
over to touch Schaefer and Schae-

ANCHORAGE, June 5.-Anchorage,
 coal terminal for the Matanuska
 fields, owes it's birth and being narily to the great Alaskan gov lent railway project now in course construction. Anchorage enjoys
 distinction of being the starting nt of this huge commercial enter SC, which means so much toward
 opening of the dormant mining l agricultural resources along it's spective course to the Yukon river. anchorage is now little better than ,ity of tents, although there are eral pretentious wood structures. is inchoate state of affairs is due the fact that the permanent town Q recently selected by agents of the Id department, is not available to } public, and will not be, in all )bability, before another sixty days.

This coal is the first mined under the new leas- ing law passed by Congress. J. A. Herbert, the owner of the coal mine, was the first to receive a permit from the land department to mine coal under the new system. The Tyonic also brought 25 tons to Sunrise for Messrs.

Commissioner Mears, fortells some thing of the Commissions plans with regard to Anchorage. In it, he speaks of a terminal coal site, which compre- hends extensive harbor Improvements at the mouth of Ship Creek; machine shops, yardage facilities, residences for permanent employees, etc. These plans, we are informed, will be worked out in due time.
 It is nothing less than remarkable what a brief space of time has wrought in this particular part of the great territory of Alaska. What is now a hustling, bustling center of actviity officially designated as An chorage, was, but a year ago, the abiding place of perhaps half dozen souls. Thomas H. Jeter, the home steader, MT. and Mrs. J. D. Whitney, homesteaders, Forester Mccullough and former Forester and Mrs. Brown were about the only permanent resi-. dents of this place at this time last year Now, the population will ex. ceed 2,OOO persons including those employed on railroad work.
 The Anchorage postotTice enjoys the unique distinction of being the only office in the United States, oi the fourth class, which is under the rules of the civil service. It likewise does more business, of certain kinds
The Cordova daily times., 1915-06-10

than any other office in Alaska. The cancellation averages about $25 the day. MT. Royden Chase, chief clerk for the Alaskan Engineering Commis- sion, is the postmaster, but MT. F. J. Wood, a civil service man, is the clerk in charge. He is a most courteous fellow, who handles the vast amount of work incident to the position in a most efficient manner. For the infor- nation of the patrons of the Anchor age postoflce, the postmaster states that all mail matter intended for dis patch on steamers should be in the office at least five hours before boats arrive. This will eliminate the use less rush" at the last moment.
 A big sawmill plant, with a capacity of 10000 feet a day, is owned by Seattle Company and the superin- tendent will be w. H. Malvern, a lum- herman from western Pennsylvania.

WAR BREAKS DOWN ALL
 THE SOCIAL BARRIERS

LONDON, June 10.-War has led to a noticeable increase in social com radeship among English women and has broken down the former prejudice against what are popularly and con temptuously known as "hen parties" Numerous clubs have sprung up, such as the Lady Workers Club for lonely women earning moderate salaries. This club keeps open from to 9 D. m. on work days and from 2 to 9 D. m. on Saturdays and Sundays. It's objects are purely the cultivation of friendship, without bridge or any kind Of propaganda.

way work was inaugurated, speaks volumes for the enterprise, faith and abounding activity of the inhabitants. Nearly all lines of business are here represented. Living expenses are no greater than in coast towns of Alaska.
 The permanent townsite is located across Ship Creek from the present townsite. It is beautifully situated, with frontage on both the waters of Knik Arm and Ship Creek. Opened to location under proper auspices and conditions, as now seems highly prob able, there is no reason to doubt but that Anchorage will evolve into one of the important commercial centers of Alaska. This view is accepted by business and professional men and people generally now living here. Given the coal terminus, and logic and common sense agree that it shall be- come such, the future of Anchorage is assured.

announced that the total number of soldiers sane toned by Parliament will bring the British army up to 3200,000 men, This is an increase of 2,5OO,OOO men from the beginning of the present war, and Premier Asquith said that no measures would be taken to further increase this number unless the increase was authorized by Parliament. The efforts of the government will be to encourage recruiting in an attempt to keep the fighting strength of the British army at its present numbers until hosities were ended.

THE GREAT WHITE WAY
By 0. o. MINTYRE.

(SpeGal Correspondence Of The Washington Herad)
New York, Jan. 15.-New York Is
! getting an idea of the polygamous
taint that seems to be the product OF a
rather loose style of morals among a
certain class in New York. The effects
of this way of living were revealed in
the case Of man who seems to have
kept the love of three women even after
tragic turn of events brought one of
the three to despair and suicide.
Every New Yorker knows that there
are scores of apartment houses in the
upper part OF Manhattan where the So
called love wives" are quartered.
Many of them are known as the wives
Of prominent personages-men with
families.
Play-goers have had a chance, too.
to see the dire effects OF polygamy as
the Mormons are alleged to enforce #.
Several New York newspapers have
stated positively that the New Yorker
for whom one would-be wife sacri-
feed herself and her children is a Sc
cret proselyte of Mormonism. Whether
1t is true or not, the consequences of
his actions furnish poignant evidence
OF the suffering that the practice Of
polygamy bring in any community
where it has neither moral nor legal
sanction.
Ray Long, editor of the Red. Green and
Blue Books in Chicago. was telling at a
New York banquet the other night of a
famous clergyman who was at a dinner
where one of the other guests made him
self unpIeasantly conspicuous by his con-
tinued and virulent attacks upon the
Scriptures.

to draw the ecclesiastical fire, he finally
