'Is Frank Moran afraid to meet Jack Dillon ?' inquires a wrought up fight fan. We should say that man who wasn't afraid to meet Jack Johnson and Jess Willard should balk at facing even MT. Dillon. If Moran was willing to tackle a man fifty eight pounds heavier and five inches taller why should fear enter his heart at facing a man thirty pounds lighter and five inches shorted than himself? The reasons are very likely more commercial than spiritual.

The case of the Cleveland Indians is getting serious. You can imagine the discomforture that this club has brought to the White Sox, Tigers and Browns. For several years these clubs have been feed. ing off Cleveland flesh. While excepting hard battles with one another, all three were looking for one soft spot in the West upon which to light and soothe their wounds. And then, before they were looking, something happened. In place Of being the soft spot that would give them all a nice, easy April and early May start, the 1owly worm of other years turned and be- gan using it's fangs on everything in sight. In place of being the one bum club in the West, Cleveland has been outplaying the other three with a, good combination of hard hitting, good fielding and first class pitching. As the bard says:
 Twas ever thus from child hours
 hour;
 We see our fondest dope decay; We never said a club lacked power,
 But what is crossed us right away.
 l.. K. H.-No there is no criticism tc be found with U. s. G. A. officials in enforcing the rule against Ouimet. IS the rule in question was there it naturally should have been enforced, regardless of what men it might hit.' The point we sought to make was that the rule in question doesn't stop the more serious offenders against amateurism and that it is matter of grave doubt that selling supplies should be taken as a side line to pro- fessionalism
 We have the word of old Charley Van Loan, the Los Angeles smaitre d'arms, that Eric the Red, better known as Maurice Mclaughlin, is playing as we'll as he ever played in bis life and is on his way back to the top of the lawn tennis structure again. There are very few who will grudge Mclaughlin a triumphal entry into the hall of fame again. We know of return that would be greeted with more extended pleasure from one ocean to the other, which is about all the space we have just now

The Greater Slump. Among the great regrets that rise As time grows shorter, year by

 A motley group just overhead, That grin, satirically sad The books I bought and never
 read
 PHILANDER JOHNSON. But ah, remorse grows doubly thick When I, as one who often delves Tn stuff to read, see span and spick Or dusty volumes on the shelves; For though I've read them long ago When late the midnight oil I

 MT. Lewis expects to meet his wife upon his arrival on Out side. Then together they will go east to visit their son, who is student at Harvard. After which they will return to California and take passage to their home in Homo lulu MT. Lewis expects to bring his wife north with him next spring.

GR|CSBY TALKS ID SEWARD|TES:
 SCORES WICK"
JzMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR TERRITORIAL ATTORNEY
 TALKING LOUDLY

SEWARD. Sept. l4-George B. EIigsby. of Nome, Democratic can didate for attorney general of the territory of Alaska, spoke to an i'm mense crowd here last night. It Va, rousing meeting. great en- .uusiasm being shown by those who anne to hear the candidate by the
 ud applause accorded the speaker whenever he made a point.
 Mr Grigsby spoke for two hours, presenting an array of facts backed
 y record proof showing Wicker sham's pretended fight on Guggen- helm and cannery interests. He pointed out that the pretended fight was insincere and that it was for campaign purposes only. He proved that Wickersham was responsible for inserting the word fish in the organic act limiting the powers of the Alaska legislature in that regard, and that the present dele ate is also responsible for other Limitations in the act.
 MT Grigsby utterly demolished the charge made against him by Geo,
 Schofield, Republican candidate
 the territorial attorneyship, that he (Grigsby) persecuted Nome long shoremen And in this connection he called upon men in the audi ence. former members of the Nome ongshoremen's union. who verified his statements.
 The speaker in the course of his talk called Judge Murane. William A. Gilmore and Schofield "hyphen- ated Alaskans," although he devOt- ed most of his time to Wickersham in defense of Chas. A. Sulzer the Democratic candidate for delegate to congress from Alaska. In fact, he demonstrated to the complete satisfaction of the people of this vicinity that Wickersham is on the tail end of all progressive legisla- ton for Alaska.
 It iS believed that Grigsby will carry Seward by large majority over Schofield and Cobb
 (The foregoing dispatch was re ceived by The Citizen Thursday. It came paid press which is some. thing unusual, as Alaska papers usually pay for what they get, and it might therefore be true that Mir. GrigSby wished to spend some of his campaign funds by sending out press messages" for advertising purposes. The reader can therefore determine for himself the truth of the statements contained in the dis patch However, ii our statement be true, we are willing to donate sufficient space to print the dis patch. which came to us from the Seward Gateway.-Ed)
