TONIGHTS CONCERT Is
 SURE TO BE A TREAT
Nlr. Sinclair Comes With RecOmmen- dationS Which Very Few People
 in Alaska Ever Had.

The concert given this evening by Mir. Charles E. Sinclair is being look ed forward to with the most pleasur- able auticipations because of the recommendations which he carries with him from expert vocalists. Without having heard him, and judg- ing by what has been said by those who know, it may be said that Mr. Sinclair is the possessor of a beauh- ful bass-baritoue. The Gateway has been told that with Mrs. McNeer as accompanist he is almost perfect in every phase of vocalism, and this fact. added to what is described as the harmomously musical quality of his voice, is sure to give Seward a delightful evening. Other pleasant items are also on the program.

Youngs testimony was particularly directed to value of lots referred to by West as those given the directors of the secret" meeting, of which no record or minutes were kept. This concluded the afternoon session of yesterday.

GUS SEIFFERT HAD A
 SATISFACTORY SEASON

Gus SeifFert, the Resurrection creek mining operator, who returned on the Alliance expresses the greatest satis- faction with the seasons work. The only drawback was the early freez- up which prevented him from work ing as long as he wanted to. Three men were left on the ground to per- form dead work throughout the wint- CT and operations will be started again just as early as possible in spring. He was accompanied as far as Seward by Mrs. Seiffert who will remain here this winter if she can find house. Mir. Seiffert will go out side in a week or so.

't4ARVARp's TRACK TEAM
 PROSPECTS ARE NOT BRIGHT
Crimson Has Not Won an Intercol-
 ieeiatc Championship Since 1909.

Harvard views her outdoor track season with no great degree of opti- nlis1l1. The Crimson has not won an intercollegiate championship since 1909. and last year finished seventh in this meet, sustaining defeat, also, at the hands of Yale and Cornell in dual meets. Vale needs to win only one more dual meet to have pernla,- nent possession of the trophy cup now in competition, having already four meets to her credit, as against Harvard's two. By graduation the Crimson lost four good performers, W. A. Barron, a sprinter, who scored 10 points alone against Yale and won q second place in the intercollegiate quarter against Yale; E. $. Boyd, who finished in front in the Tale two-rnile, and A. l.. Jackson, the hurd1er. Against Yale last year Harvard scored but g. 1-3 points, of which nearly half were made b1- the four men who have been graduated; of the II points that gave Harvard d seventh place in the intercollegiate meet. Barron made four. It is apparent that of Harvard Is to be formidable in the dual meets against Cornell and Yale and the in tercoliegiate competitions, the veterans of the team must perform better than they have ever done before, and the new men must also come fully up to expectations.

WHIPPED DECLINED
 PHILLIEs' $2,oOo BONUS
Rather Play with BraVes-Deciares He Has 'Learnsd Much Baseball Under Staiiings.

The deal whereby Sherwood Magee of the Phillies comes to the Braves is not settled, m so far as President Gaffney has not yet named the man to be turned over to the Quakers. Masee is going to be a Brave. There is no doubt about that. The Bcston club has delivered Oscar Dugey and will compensate the Fhillies with a money consideration. Besides this Manager Moran of the Philadelphia cirio is anxious to secure George Whit ted, and wants ham as part of the deal. President Gaffuey and Manager Stallings both gave the Philadelphia club chance to do business with Whitted but the latter, according to President Ganfney, wlso now is tn Boston, refused to listen to the over lures of the Philadelphia club.
 President Gaffney, in talking with Whitted after the latter had conferred with Moran, learned that the Phila- delpllia. club offered him 4, 900 bonus if he would sign q, two-year contract. This Whitted declined, and Gaffney said Whitted's argument was that he had learned more baseball under Man ager Stallings than under any other man and that by another season he would be abfs to understand more about inside base seoaN than he knows at present Whitted also argued the Braves were going to win the National league pennant again and the S2, COG which Moran offered him would be se- cured from the worlds series.

Jewstt City Manager Talks.

Jewett City claims Baltic Basketball team is net the champion team of New London county Letter to the Sporting Editor follows:
 The Jewett City tean! has more claim to the title than Baltic on these grounds.
 In the first place Baltic has not played all the fast teams ill this part of the state that could make a bid for the title. It seems to be quite a graft between. TaftvilIe and Baltic to frame up. q series each year and the winner take the basketball title for New Lon don county. By Fridays Bulletin Day vile challenged Baltic but Jewett City defeated DayY-iIle in q series of two out Of three games this winter and Baltic has not played Jewett City, so if the manager of the Baltic team is not afraid of our team why should he not come across for 2. series of three games. One to be played in Baltic one in Jewett City and in case of a tie play it off on the Taftvilie floor

FEDERAL LEAGUE OPENS APRIL 10
Playing Season Starts Four Days in Advance of the First Game in Other Major Baseball Leagues-Clmorc Says Federal Affairs All Around Look Mighty Good to Me for 1915'-Thrty Days Suspension for Pitchers Using Emery Ball.

Buffalo, N. r, Feb. 26.-The seIec- ton of April 10 as the opening date of the Federal Leagues playing season, four days in advance of the first games in the other Taajor baseball leagues, and the recommendation by the umpire of some minor changes in the playing rules, marked the opening sessions of the leagues annual schedule meeting here today.
 Although injunction proceedings in- stituted at Chicago to prevent the trns- fer of the Kansas City franchise to Newark prevented the formal adoption Of schedule, the nagnates went ahead with their work with the expectation that Newark would be the eighth team in this years lineup.
 The tentative schedule provides for Newark to open at Baltimore: Buffalo at Brooklyn and Indianapolis and Chi cago at hcTI7e with St. Louis and Pitts burgh as the contending teams.
 D. J. Half, A. E. Gordon and Arthur c. Black representing the Kansas City owners, registered at the hotel where the league meetings were held, but did not seek recognition at today's ses- Sions The belief was expressed that a way would be found to adjourn the dispute before the date set for the hearing before the circuit court in Chi cago
 It looks Hke 2. pretty favorable sign said President James A. Gilmore. when Federal league clubs begin fight ing for franchises. In fact, Federal af- fairs all around look mighty good to me for 1915"
 The new rules recommended by the urnpires provide for a fine of S20O and % days suspension for pitchers using the ternery bali:5 and ruling out of play bzau batted foul that strikes any part of the srandetand or passes into foul territory beyond first or third base, the latter rule being desi sneg to prevent delay.
