worthy joke-author would have died
a miserable death in a lonely garnet.
For some reason Kalamazoo is
thought to be funny Even the in
habitants do not resent it, though
they call it Kazoo when in executive
session. Quite a crop Of celery is
grown around KazoO. For our part
celery is not fit morsel for human be-
ings, but we believe that it is eaten
in the centers of culture. We were
going to write quite a lot about the
sanitarium at Kazoo, when we hap
pened to remember that the santa
rum isn't at KazoO at all; it's at Bat-
tie Creek! Our mistake!

MILL |S SOLD BY THE CORDOVA COMPA

The five-stamp mill and tram, be- longing to the Cordova Mining and Development Company, has been sold to the Sea Coast Mining Company, and today will be shipped on the steamship Admiral Watson to the property 9f the latter company on Shoup bay.
 The mill originally was bought by the Cordova Mining & Development Company to work property in the Port Wells district. The values failed to come up to expectations and the ma chinery since has been stored here.
 Shoup bay is between Valdez and Port Wells, and the promoters of the Sea Coast company claim to have ex- cellent showlngs,

 PROPERTY

VALDEZ, June 10. - P. II. Daley and Dave Bennett arrived in town to- day from Bottles bay, where they have just completed contract for running 200 feet of tunnel on the Ban her and Golden Gate claims
 MT. Daley brought up a specimen of ore from the tunnel, which is one of the richest pieces every brought to the city. MT. Daley admits that it is a picked specimen, but says the ore taken out the whole length of the tun- nel has been high grade. The vein, he states, is over six feet in width.
 These claims are under bond to Sam Pepper and c. Christopher, of Seattle, and Mir Christopher is expected to arrive from the states within a short time to examine the property
 Mir. Daley states that the property is showing up far better than expected  and that the development work al ready done has demonstrated that it will make an extremely profitable mine Further development work on this property Is planned, the new work to consist of a tunnel on the other end of the claims, where the showing is equally as good as where the preseDt tunnel Is located,
 MT. Daley is one of the locators of the property and was also the locator of another promising property, the Mountain King group on Mineral creek. This is his first visit to Valdez in over two years.

WINDSOR HOTEL
 ID CHANGE HANDS

Under the terms of lease, with an option to purchase at the expiration of three years, Link Waln on July 1 will take over the Windsor Hotel.
 The transfer of the hotel to Waln really amounts to a purchase, as it is his intention to exercise that right at the end of three years. The bar in the hotel will be abandoned, and the billiard hall will be cut up into de- sirable rooms.
 The reception building, now owned by Waln, will be made into an apart ment house, and run in connection with the hotel, tr..,. 2 i~,
 No announcement of any proposed changes has been made by Waln, who says he will make improvements after he occupies the premises as they be- come necessary,

AUSTRIAN AEROPLANE IS
 BROUGHT DOWN

TARNOPOL, Galicia, June 8. - An Austrian aeroplane, one of those whose visits have become almost a daily feature of life in this town, was brought down within the Russian lines recently. It's two occupants succeeded in burning the machine, but were cap tured. On every fair day these air raiders from Austrian lines fly over Tarnopol and drop their bombs. Their appearance is the signal for a fusilade from field guns from various quarters. At the first report people seek the shelter of buildings, children scamper to quick cover and faces are turned skywards. A few days ago twenty five bombs fell, but the net damage was slight On another day, at noon time, raider was observed high among the clouds. Shells from the Russian guns burst on all sides of him, but he sailed seemingly un- harmed behind a bank of clouds and disappeared from view. Later came a report of his capture, the details of which are lacking.

set, and Placket, North American Lace,
5 each.
As the Veterans are almost certain to
win the second division championship this
year, their promotion to the first division
will follow as "A matter of course. 1t will
be interesting to see how prolific Hindman
and McGee are in the first division.
Only l6 teams have entered for the
Amateur Cup competition, but these l6
are the pick of the amateur clubs of the
city. The surviving team will have
just claim to the amateur soccer cham
pionship of Philadelphia.
II is rather unfortunate that the
American League is so weak this year,
because this has been an excellent year
for soccer. While there is some talk of
the best teams in the American, Allied
and United Leagues combining. this has
often been predicted, but nothing has
ever developed. Such an organization
would do soccer in Philadelphia worlds of
good.
If the American League officers are to
obtain the good will of the Allied League
officials, they must assume a different
attitude. The American League has al
ways been jealous of the popularity
gained by the other organizations and
such an attitude does the game no good.
A combination is the thing to be desired
and should be brought about by those
who have the interests of soccer at heart.

BUDD QUINTET
DEFEATS DOBSON
FOR LEADERSHIP
Standard Roller Gets the
Decision Over Electric
Storage Five
WHITE IS THE ST A R

The triple tie, which has existed in the
Industrial League for nearly week be-
tween e. G.. Budd, ]. e j. Dobson and
Western Electric was broken last night
when the Budd boys. playing a brilliant
floor game, defeated the Dobson quintet.
The final score was 20 to %. At the finish
Dobson was rapidly gaining on Budd, and
at the rate they were shooting field goals
would have tied their opponents in an
other three minutes of play.
In the Bhdd-Dobson game, White was
the man who held the balance of power.
He managed to convert 16 out Of % tries
from the 15-foot mark, besides one neat
field goal from halfway down the floor.
The game appeared TO be a walkaway at
the end of the first half. as the Budd
men held the commanding lead of IS to
6. But Dobson came strong, much to
the delight of the big crowd in the
Quaker City hall, and made IA points,
while Budd was making n couple Never
theess, the lead was too long, and the
Budd men went away with the game
that gave them the lead in the league
race.
Opposed to Whites clever foul shoot
ing was the Indifferent work of Kindon,
who began tossing the free ones for Dob
SON After he had failed seven times
out of nine trials kindon gave way to
Lees in this department of play Lees
managed to cage 10 out of his lG chances.
Baetzel, the Eastern League referee,
did the officiating. AS usual, he called
so many fouls that the game was not as
snappy as it might otherwise have been.
He also managed to call the same num-
Der of fouls on both teams, hence there
was no opportunity for either team to 90
any kicking.
Standard Roller Bearing won from Eleo-
tric Storage in a splendid exhibition Of
uphill work Until the last few minutes
of play, Electric Storage was leading by
n comfortable margin, but a spectacular
series of passes by the S. r. BIS gave
them a one-pont lead just as the whistle
blew. The score was p 20 %.

DAVE CALDWELL MAY TRY
FOR THE WORLDS RECORD
Former Cornell Athlete
Is Anxious to Beat
Ted Meredith at His
Best - Has Beaten
Penn Flyer

COME time this year Dave Caldwell, the
- former Cornell runner, intends to try
for world record in either the half or
mile run. Furthermore, Jack Moakley,
his former trainer, thinks he will sue
ceed Caldwells one ambition is to beat
Ted Meredith, of Pennsylvania, in half
mile run, with both men in their best
condition. That, he thinks, will be equiv
alent to the creation of new world 5
record for the half mile.
Caldwell, who holds the intercollegiate
half-mile record OF 1853 2-5. has already
started his indoor campaign, and last
week beat Meredith and a group of other
middle-distance stars in a lOOO-yard run.
But his great effort he will reserve for
some outdoor meet
Every one who has seen Caldwell run
agrees that he has it In him to equal or
better Meredith's record for the $50 ards
If he can correct two weaknesses, These
are poor racing judgment and tendency
to start his final sprint too late. He has
lost a great many races he should nave
won for Just these reasOnsI Some time
things may break just right for him, and
If so ne might accomplish his aim in
spite of his handicaps. But he is not
likely to succeed, If Meredith, in condi-
tion, is one of his competitors.
Caldwell has a tremendously long stride
and lots of speed. They form a combina-
ton adnlfaDly dudpleu 70 tle ndll Hlllc'
but more endurance is required before he
can make good Monkeys prediction that
he has 1t in him to make a new world
record for the mile event
The eX-Cornell star thinks he can go the
longer distance, for he has been steadily
lengthening the distance of his runs.
Originally he was a quarter-miler. That
was when he was a student at the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College. Here he
was discovered by Bill Young, the old
Amherst quarter-miler and intercolegi-
ate champion. Young persuaded him 10
try for the American Olympic team He
did so, and by getting second to Mel Shep-
pard, at Boston, made the team. When he
came back he entered Cornell, but had
only one year OF intercollegiate eligibility,
He is now running for the Boston A. A.,
and Is doing some great work.
