BOXING SPORTS OF !
Some of the baseball writers with
the Cubs affect to be much discOuT-
aged because the Phillies have given
the Cubs three straight trimmings,
and may give them some more in
the four games yet remaining to be
played in the spring series.
These Whippings mean nothing, so
far as the Cub work in the pennant
campaign is concerned. There is no
spark of genius about Tinker's club,
it is not a gang that fires up with
inspiration and flashes through with
desperate play.
The Cubs are steady, pIodding
working men, who go about the
game as part of the days work, and
take their time about getting into
condition. They may be trimmed
often by the teams Of the Southern
league when games are played later
with clubs from that circuit, but even
that will mean nothing.
The reVamped Cubs are not spring
terrors. They are likely to be in the
ruck for quite some period after the
season opens, but there is always
hope for such team. It is not the
kind of squad that breaks under a
slump. Every man has been through
the fire and has nerve that can come
only from experience.
Even the younger men who saw
their first real big league service with
the Feds went through a gruelling
campaign last season, the pennant
Ringing on the last game of the year.
Yerkes has been in a worlds series,
DOoIan has had years of fighting to
bolster him up.
The team can hit, that being the

the top of their game earliest in the
season. In the games against the
Phils the batting has been Iusty and
productive of results, but the pitch
ing and the fielding have been so
poor as to impose a large handicap
which attacking power could not
overcome.
For instance: Dutch ZwiIIing bust
ed a homer yesterday with two on,
which placed the Cubs in the lead.
But then the Tapping Fed turned
around, misjudged a fly, then muffed
it, and gave the Phils a chance to tie
the score. Later some more errors
and a bit of bad pitching let the
league champions win the game.
Jim Vaughn tried to pitch a while
and was not there with anything the
least bit puzzling. Jim is still over
weight and will not be able to put his
proper stuff on the ball until he
works off this surplus pOundage.
George Pierce did better than in
former trials, but was slightly wild.
Indications are that MuIIiean will
do quite lot of work at short in the
coming season and may even force
Mike DoOlan aside and gain the reg
ular berth. Mulligan is young, has
had only few weeks of big league
experience, but he will benefit by
playing next to Yerkes, who has been
through the mill.
He can't learn much of inside stuff
from Tim, for the latter is not the
kind of player who makes a good
tutor. Mulligan, on mechanics, will
speed up the play around the key
stone, and his batting in the spring
games has been strong enough to
hold job.

man, and Mr. l. Gordin. The committee
elected DR.. Gordon as it's chairman and
Mr.. I. Gordin as it's secretary. The plat
form of the resolutions committee was
adopted by the Conference in toto and
provided for freedom of action on the part
of the Congress Committee that was sub
sequently elected A heated debate con-
tinuing for nearly three hours was held on
the question Of the time of holding the
Congress. Those in sympathy with the
"Nationale Arbeiter Committee and the
American Jewish Committee opposed the
adoption of resolution to the effect that
the Congress must be held before the close
of the European hostilities. The problem
was solved by adopting resolution that
commits the Minneapolis Conference to
the policy that the Congress should be held
as soon as possible. There was also
threatened break among the delegates up
on the question of Zionistic policy but the
question was not touched upon by the
resolutions committee and hence the Con-
ference is not committed to any policy
upon that particular question. All of the
resolutions presented and adopted were OF
a general nature and expressed the sense
of the Conference to be that OF an en-
deavor to better Jewish conditions in all
parts of the world and upon democratic
basis.
The most difficult part of the work was
the selection Of the Congress Committee.
All the various factions in the Conference
demanded recognition and representation
upon the committee. Upon final motion
to have fifteen delegates to constitute the
Congress Committee the Conference di-
vided into three factions and each selected
it's proportionate number and presented
them to the Conference. The Nationalist
were allowed eight representatives, the
Anti Nationalist were allowed five, and
the Territorialists were granted two rep
resentatives The list Of those finally
elected is as follows: Nationalists-
z. Mendow, Rabbi G. D. Matt, R. Hirshen
son, M. Levine, Mr.. Kravatz, l. Gotlieb,
Mr. Zipperman and Mr.. Elesin; Anti Ma
Observation-Disclosures. Goodkind, Shyer, Sam
onof, Rintzler, and Sam Friedman. Terri
toralists-Mr. |. Gordin and Mr.. Gelf
and
BY resolution the Congress Committee
will determine the method by which it
shall be represented at the Philadelphia
Conference that is to be held the latter
part Of March. A harmony resolution was
offered and adopted by the delegation A
meeting Of the Congress Committee will
be held upon the call Of the secretary.
Rabbi C. d. Matt acted as the Vice Chair
man during the meeting.

REDFlELD TELLS WHY He
FAVoRS FISHERIES BILL

Mr. Wallace Cathcart, secretary
Fairbanks Commercial Club,
Fairbanks, Alaska
Dear Sir: | am in receipt Of
5W telegram OF February q,
stating that the Fairbanks Com
mercial club by resolution pro-
tests against the passage OF the
proposed amendment to section
3 of the enabling act OF Alaska,
wherein it is attempted to take
the power away from the Alaska
legislature to levy taxes on fish
cries in Alaska.
Under the law as it stands at
the present time, the legislature
Of Alaska, as we'll as the CON
gress of the United States, has
the power of imposing license
and taxes on certain kinds of
business, including fisheries, sal
teries, fish traps, and gill nets.
Taxes and fees have been fixed
by congress and any imposed BY
the legislature of Alaska mean an
additional burden on such bust
ness. ii at once becomes appar-
ent that if the legislature of Al
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-04-28

aska exercises this power the re-
suit is double taxation on persons
engaged In such kinds OF bust
ness, and furthermore, creates d
dual control between the depart
ment OF commerce and the legis
lature of Alaska over at least a
branch of such kinds of business.
The control OF the fisheries of
Alaska is by law placed in the
department OF commerce and il Is
responsible not only for the pre-
servation, but also for the growth
and development thereof 1t is
quite clear that if the territory Of
Alaska is given Joint right TO
control over the whole or any
portion of such fisheries, the plans
of the department of commerce
for their growth and development
may meet with serious interior
ence, and the result be most
harmful to the industry. For ex-
ample, should the legislature Of
Alaska impose license fees or
taxes to any extent that might
seriously impair the industry or
make it Improbable, the depart
.7ent or commerce, charged with
the responsibility OF caring for
the industry, would be practical
ly helpless. The department feels
that not even the possibility OF
such a situation, much less the
situation itself, should be allowed
to exist AS long as congress
tees fit to continue the control OF
The Alaska fisheries in the de
partment OF commerce, that con
troll should be exclusive.
In view of this, the depart
nent feels very strongly that the
bill should be passed and has SO
recommended to the committee
OF the house On merchant marine
and fisheries.
Yours very truly,

Bill Lee and Joe Mcdowell
returned from the not Springs OF
the nuskokwlm on rrlQay OF last
week, says the ldltarod Pioneer
OF Aarcn 4. Nh Lee tells an III
terestlng story OF the trip, and
says that It took the party twenty
days to make the Journey IRON
Fat city. Their stay at the
springs was shortened by the tacl
that one has to pull more DOG
iced than grub. 1ney had TWEEN
y dogs, and it takes ABOUT all
dog can pull over an unbeaten

.lr. Lee states that the springs
ire all that they expected. The
water is extremely hot and heav-
lily mineralized, especially with
sulphur. Accommodations are
poor at present, especially as
there are from ten to fifteen peo-
pie there. But few of the Wis
ltors are putting up permanent
cabins to while the hours away
between baths, so accommoda'
lions soon will be better.
Mr.. Lee states that the grub
question connected with such I
trip is a serious one. 10 pull
provisions from this side, dis
tance of nearly 200 miles, he re-
CARDS as folly Ordinarily about
all that could be taken would be
enough for the trip there and
back, leaving nothing to live on
while there. But another bad
feature is the fact that most OF
the trading posts on the Kusko.
kwim in the vicinity of the
springs are short of grub. Sleit'
mute, thirty miles above George
town, is the nearest trading post
to the springs
Mr.. Lee tells of the deplorablt'
condition of the Indians on the
Kuskokwim. He says their pow
erty has been brought about by
the lack IS game in the country
There are no schools nor govern
lnent officials to take an interest
in them. Sleitmute is said to be,
the largest village On the kosko"
kwim, some eighty natives living
there. At present all they have.
to subsist on is straight dog sal"
mon, and they devour it in much
the SINE manner as animals. Las

The Indians, says Mr.. Lee, fol-
low a white man just as would q

and meals are prepared they SIT

eagerly for scraps thrown te
