TITLE TO MINING CLAIMS
 DENIED VALDEZ COMPANIES;
 LOCAL OFFICE SUSTAINED

The Secretary of the Interior has sustained the officers of the local land office in their decision involving the application of Mrs. Ida May r. Hes, of Valdez, for a patent to the Huckle- berry and Solomon Falls placer claims and the Ida May Lode claim, situated on Solomon River north of Valdez.
 The local officers rejected the ap- plicatlon as to all three claims be- cause valid discovery had not been made and also that $500 worth of im- provements had not been placed on the Huckleberry and Solomon Falls placer claims as required by law.
 A fourth charge had been made that the land had been taken up for power site purposes. The local off, cers made no decision as to the latter point. The papers in the case were returned to the local office and Mrs. Hes will be allowed to make a new application if she so desires.
 Tho land involved carries the power plants of both the contosting Valdez Power Company and the Home Power Company. The land was located by Hes who leased 1t to the Valdez Pow CT Company. who erected a power house on the property and started furnishing power to the city of Val lez. under the rights of their lease. Later the officers of the Valdez Pow CT Go. and Hes had a misunderstand. ing and he started the Home Pow. CT Company, erecting his power house on the same property. The only title ;o the land now is that of possession inder sQuatter's rights.

Beautifully bedecked groups Of g1r- lies and handsome young men com prise the chorus of the musical com edy, ''The House Party'' which is to be presented to the Bridgeport pub lie tomorrow evening in the audi torium of the new high school and lie at large, it is safe to say that the auditorium, which has a a~seating ca pacity greater than that of num- Der of the large theatres in the city, will be taxed to its capacity when the orchestra hits up the popular strains for the premier of Bridge ports amateur theatrica1s.
 Two of the soIoists who have all ready made their mark in musical cir cles in this city and who are seek ing further worlds to conquer are the Misses Hazel Seymour and Ruth Calhoun. Both of these young ladies are numbered among the solofsts of the Grace M. B. Church and possess voices that seem destined to bring their owners, fame and fortune. Miss Ada Zeig1er, who will accompany the singers in their various numbers, is a pianist of rare ability and can tickle the keys with the best of them.
 The coach of the production, Les ter Burdick, predicts success for Jack Nelson, who appears to be a second George Evans. Many tickets were exchanged for reserved seats when the chart was opened today. They may also be exchanged this evening or tomorrow in the lobby of the school

'KAUFF CAN'T GET HIT AS ALEXANDER
 TWIRLS IN OPENER

Philadelphia, April 13-After Doyle, Merkle, and Roush had kept the New York Giants on even terms with the Philadelphia champions for nine in ntngs, and just when the record crowd that filled every nook and corner of the field expected to see the. seasons opener carried into extra innings, Manager McGraw's battery tosed the game away. The final tally stood 5 to 4, with Philadelphia on top.
 Facing the great Alexander, the Giants piled up hit after hit, but many of them were wasted. Therein lies the reason for the defeat of the Goth amites. They seemed to find no diff cultY in slashing the renowned Quaker hurIer, but fell down in every pinch. When they had men on bases Alexan- der Nook another twist on his belt. and shot the sphere past the batters so fast that they hardly knew it had skinned by
 Manager McGraw surprised the Ph1llies when he trotted out Ander- son, a spftba1 hurler, from the ranks of the Federal League. for the opener. The former Fed did not last long, for the Phi1lies collected a counter in the opening inning and another in the second, which sent Anderson in full reterat to the clubhouse. Ralph Stroud essayed the task from that stanza, on and he got away with it in fine style until the final inning, when he tossed away his own game. Much of the interest of the closely fought game was focused on the per formance of the former Federal League stars, who have signed with McGraw. Benny Kauff, the '"Ty Coob of the Feds,'' holding down centre
 field for the Giants. failed to reach the initial sack on his first three times up. His fellow Fed, Roush, the right | fielder, his safely twice, but displayed | inexperience on bases. Once he tried to steal second with the ball in the sion he was retired while tryingkto ex- tend single into 8 double.
 | In Philadelphia's half of the sixth Kaun produced one of the very pret- tiest plays of the game, one that is seldom made outside the celebrated | Speaker family.
 This was a throw from deep right | centre field that carried on a. line to Rariden and shut off Niehof by fully | 10 yards. It came at a, most needful time, shortly after Rariden's miseue | of Niehoff's delayed steal bIuff, for | following this break, that put the time, the Giants gave evidence of the strain. LuderuS had just caught his breath at the midway when Burns lac ed single to right centre. Kauff, | cutting over with the crack of the bat, played the grasscutter like an tnfe1der, a, desperate gamble for the bounce.
 When he started his throw for the play the play appeared fOoIhardy, but the ball came in like bullet and kept New York in the fight for some time.

NEW LONDON. HAS CUBAN STAR AND

Showing of Lajoie Pleasing Surprise to
 Manager Connie Mack

The biggest surprise, and one of the most pleasant ones that has been sprung in the Athletics, camp this spring is the vast Improvement and reuvenation of Laoie, writes Jim Ma siunQ In the Philadelphia Inquirer. Larry is going better right now than he has for three or four years and has every appearance and the speed and dash of youngster. This is no springtime "bull,'' but is on the level and our tip is that Larry, and not a youngster, will be the one who will be seen out there, playing second base.
 Larry Is covering more ground and putting more dash into his work than we have seen him showing since the old days when he was king, and he is lamm1ng that pill in the same old way, which means about as good as it can be done. As Malone, who can field that position as we'll as any body would want it done, gives every evidence of being decidedly weak with the old sIapstick, we look for Larry to be in there at the keystone sack again this coming heated term and we would not be a. bit surprised if he had one of his oId-tir1e seasons
 They have been counting Larry out for several seasons now Perhaps he doesn't cover as much ground as he did in his heydey, but he still gets them in a manner to make many another second baseman envious and we still fail to lamp any of them who are less welcome by a pitcher than the veteran Frenchman.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

 1185-Tomrny Murphy, lightweight boxer, born in New. York. Harlem Tommy has given the lightweight title a hard, long race, and at times seemed to be within grabbing distance, but the bauble fate always eluded him and now, at the age of 3f, he seems to be through. Tommy has been mighty un1uclxy in his pursuit of the cham pionship. He whipped Ad Wolgast only a, short time before the Michigan boy deprived Bat Nelson of his light weight 1aurels Harlem Tommy beg ged and pleaded for a chance at Vol gast when the latter was champion
 but Adolph lodged the scrappy Irish man until after he had lost the title. He then fought Murphy again, and Tommy whipped him. There is not much room to doubt that if WoIgast had taken on Murphy when Ad was champion, Tommy's name would now appear in the list of lightweight cham pions. Ring history is full of these aI- most-chan1ps-men who were better than title-ho1ders, but didn't get a chance to prove it until it was too late. When Tommy was going good there was only one man, Packey Mo Farland, who had anything much on hirn-and Packey, too, belongs in the list of ter-than-champion boxers.

Pitcher Has Plenty To Do Besides Just
 Putting Elm Over Pan

The modern pitcher has a lot to do besides delivering the ball with a, sharp hook or a good hop on his fast one, writes I. E. Sanborn in the Chi i scago Tribune He has to do a lot of thfnking out there on the slab; has a, Hot Of things to remember. In a. close game a single mistake by the slab man may result in defeat Many a. Igame has been lost because the pitcher sforgot and delivered the wrong ball to @. batSman in a, pinch. The fans sim Eply gave .f1e lucky batsmans credit for fmaktng timely hit. Of course, the sbatsman deserves that credit, but what is not noticed by the average observer is when the pitcher crosses his own maHager or team by faulty memory or judgment.
 Whep~ you see a right-handed bats man atAthe plate with the outheId set for hit into right field or center you may Know that no one on that team expects the pitcher will deliver a curve or slow ball close in to that batsman- If he forgets and hands up that kind of a. ball the batsman will be pretty sure to pull it into left field where there is nobody to catch it.
 Probably half the spectators will blame the left fielder for being so far over toward center as to leave part of his own territory unguarded But that2T T6ft fielder will be lblafneIess, be- cause heTwi11 be rIayi1-S in left center under orders from the manager, who also vii 1have instructed his pitcher to keep tn ball outside or over the out side of the plate for that particular batsman.

MIKE GIBBONS TO
 MEET TED LEWIS IN NEW YORK RING

New York, April 13-Mike Gibbons is bent on regaining the prestige he lost with New Workers when Packey AIcFarland outpointed him at Brighton Beach last fall and so has arranged to campaign around these parts this spring and summer The opening match of his program was clinched yesterday when Jimmy Johnston received telegram from the St. Paul wizard that he had signed and mailed the articles for a, bout with Ted (Kid) Lewis in Madison Square Garden on the night of May 1S-
 Still believing that he can draw a good crowd in GothAm Gibbons agreed to appear on a strict percentage basis. He will get 30 per cent. of the house Why the St. Paul man selected Lewis for the first opponent in his new series is a puzzle to managers of some other boxers, that of Jen Smith among them. The latter's handlers declare Gibbons is lodging, and pre- fers a smaller and weaker adversary Mike himself is frank enough He says he figures Lewis will be easy that he wants an easy bout to start with. Admirers of Lewis have their own ideas on this subject. The Gib- bons-Lewis affair will be the first con test in the Garden since Benny Leon ard FreddieS Welsh met t-there.
