Upper Classmen to Take SWipc at Sophs This
 Afternoon at Polk

Will the Seniors be q two time winner? The biggest class game ever held at P. H. S. will be played this evening on the Polk street ball dia . mOnd at 300 o'clock sharp between the SophOmores and Seniors The Seniors won the championship of the school last year by defeating practi- cally the same team as the Sophs have this year, but the Sophs have improved since then by developing into experienced ball tossers.
 It will be an even bet on either team as both are in condition and will fight hard from start to finish. Captain Walters said yesterday even ing that he would use the same line up as before with the exception of a new pitcher
 Alfred Ryan. the southpaw pitcher that is making everybody guess what he puts on the ball. will pitch for the Seniors and Dick Heflin that cool-headed pitcher will again go in the box for the Sophs This will be the last class game until next year and it is for that reason that a large crowd is expected to witness the bat tie this evening for the champion ship of the inter- class series.

With the exception of baseball pro- fessonal sports of every kind enjoyed a phenomenal degree of prosperity in the United States throughout the year 1915
 Basebalrs troubles were largely in- ternal. Many observers attributed the decline in it's receipts to business con- ditions. due to the war of the nations; but business conditions certainly did not affect the attendance at the world s series games in Philadelphia and Eos ton. at the football contests between small colleges as well as large, at the rapidly increasing number of race tracks, at the tennis tournaments. at the golf tournaments, and, in fact, at all forms of competitive athletics.
 Money Lost in Baseball
 With a few exceptions nearly every club in the country lost money. This was largely responsible for the recent end Of the baseball war The clubs that made money in the National league were the Phillies Braves, and Robins, which finished one, two. three in the league, and the Giants who fin ished last.
 The American league money winners were the Red Sox, the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox. All the clubs in the Federal league lost, while the minor league clubs barely managed to last out the season.
 It is estimated that the money lost though baseball last season was more than 1000 900. It was said recently that Edward Gwinner, owner of the Pittsburg Feds, dropped $SO,OOO last season, while the other Federal league clubs lost from $S0,00O to S1O0000.
 Ty Cobb, the Georgia Peach led the American league in batting for the ninth time. while in the National league Larry Doyle, the second base man and captain of the Giants won the honors from capt Jake Daubert of the National league with d percentage of $40. Cobb had the fine average of .375 and stole over a hundred bases, establishing new record for thefts.
 The best pitchers in the two big leagues were Smokey Joe" Wood of the Red Sox ana Alexander of the Phillies Wood beat Walter Johnson of the Senators for thc American league honors. Alexander was far superior to the pitchers in the National league and held the lead throughout the season.
 Boxing
 No year since 1910 has been so fraught with interest among the box CTS as the year 1915. For fl was in this year. now in it's sere and yellow leaf, that Jess Willard, the big cowboy of Kansas City, won the heavyweight championship Of the world from Jack Johnson, who had clinched all right and

SAN FRANCISCO, Canf., Jan. g. The complaint made by the New Or leans fight promoters that their local newspapers were not backing the pro- posed match between Willard and Fulton with sufficient enthusiasm, with the result that the heavyweight bout was called off finds echo, with few or no exceptions, throughout the Pacific coast as far as the various sporting writers are concerned The following excerpt sizes up the attitude of the majority of western writers fairly well:
 "The heavyweight situation is a joke anyway. Nobody appears to care much what Willard does or what he is going to do He won't draw unless they can drag forth somebody who would have a chance to make some sort of showing against him. The promoters doubtless named Fulton for the reason that he practically is un- known and without a reputation in the fistic world. There is d chance to soup Fulton along and make the peo- pie believe that he is d wonder, pro vided, of course, that none of his sparring partners happen to knock hsn out while he is preparing himself for the chance of his young life

ries at Reno on July f, 1910. Willard knocked out Johnson in the twenty sixth round of d scheduled fOrtY-five round bout at Havana, Cuba, on April , 1915.
 That was not the only championship that changed hands. But it was the one of great importance, and as re- suit it boomed boxing as no other thing was able to do in the United States. The other title that changed hands was when Johnny Ertle. the midget battler of St. Paul, won the title on a foul blow delivered to him when he met Kid Williams on Septem- Der 10 in St. Paul. The blow that lost Williams the championship landed in the fifth round
 Billiards
 William r. Hoppe of New York, AL fredo De orc of New York, and Bennic Allen Of Kansas City are again the headliners in the cue world, as thcy were a year ago. Hoppe retained the , 14-1, 1S-1, and 1S-2 halklne titles. He won the last named emblem outright last year and in the only match for the 14-1 title this year he defeated Koii Yamada, 1.50O to 1.2Si
 Although Hoppe las held one or more of the titles continuously since 1910, his supremacy never has been so firmly established as this year. This | led to the hclding of q handicap 1S-2 tournament at New York on November, i ho pI, scratch. He won five straight games and on the final night against Welker Cochran of Chicago made a worlds | record run of 3OS in tournament com petition, beating the mark made by himself at Chicago in 1906 by one point.
 Speedway Racing
 The year 1915 was a year of speed way racing. Road events held their own and dirt track hippodroming showed no unusual results after being wrcsted from the control of the Amer jean Automobile association. There | were a few successfully promoted hill climbs of importance only to the com munities in which they were held, and perhaps a dozen reliability contests, all | of purely local interest
 It is difficult to select a speedway champion, Gil Anderson and Ed Rick enbacher Paving almost equal rights to the title, Rickenbacher because he won three events, and Anderson because of winning the AstOr cup at worlds rec | ord speed and finishing second in the Twin City race, and because of his general ability shown throughout the season.

 LEAD IN HOUSE
BRITT ELECTED IN CAROLINA
Doubt Is Expressed As to Election of Walton in New Mexico-Re- Classification Gives Republicans a Slight Lead.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Late re- turns somewhat complicate the po- litical situation in regard to the com- plexion of the next congress. The returns from the Tenth North Caro-. lima district, show that Britt, the Re- publican candidate for the lower house has been reelected by a plu- rality of thirteen.
 The election of Walton, the demo. cratic candidate in New Mexico, is considered doubtful, although at one time it was conceded. Under the re. classification of Nolan, Hayes and Randle, the Progressive, Republican and Prohibition Representatives lined up with the Republicans, gives them a slight plurality in the House.

No Question But That Democratic
 Candidate Will Land the Office With Good Plurality-ExplanatiOn
 of Figures Given in Table Below.

There seems to have been a mis- understanding as to the votes as re- corded in the table below, inasmuch as the totals show only about 6,000 votes. As matter of fact more than 1000 votes have been cast, but in reporting the vote from the First and Fourth divisions only the plu- ralities have been given as the late returns have come in. Lena Morrow Lewis undoubtedly has more than 21O votes in the Fourth division, but that was the last number reported. Sulzer was leading Wickersham by Is votes in the Fourth division when last reported and this lead was the only figures given. The same applies to the First division, where, accord ing to our figures Mrs. Lewis is un- doubtedly short of her full vote, but the plurality of 551 of Sulzer over Wickersham is sufficient to indicate the standing of the candidates.
 Pluralities are given in the divi- sions, and total vote for each candi- date in the precincts.

IAKU ROADWAY
 OPENS UP DISTRICT
FROM JUNEAU TO ATLIN ROAD
Government Men Report That Trail Would Be of Great Benefit-Supt. Hayes Is Estimating Cost, Which He Says Would Be Small.

JUNEAU, Nov. 13.-J. c. Hayes and W. F. Pendergast, who left Ju- neau last Sunday for an investigation of the cost and feasibility of putting a road up the Taku river from the mouth of the river to the Canadian Boundary and which is to connect there with a Canadian Government road and continue to Atlin, B. C., have returned from their trip.
 J. C Hayes, who is superintendent of roads for the Alaska Road Con- mission in the First Division stated that the road can be built very cheap ly on one side of the river, and that it will open a vast stretch of wonder full country.
 "The road cannot be. built very we'll on the south side of the river, where it was proposed, but on the north side, or the same side of the river that Juneau is located on it car be constructed very cheaply. This is one OI Luc mOSt WOuucTlul SITclCuc5 of country I have seen in Alaska and some of the best land anywhere is to be found in the Taku river valley, and with road from the mouth of the river and regular boat connection from there to Juneau, the road would be wonderful benefit and will oI some great farming country, which would be the equal of the famous Chilkat valley back of Haines, with in few years," he said.
 Hayes and Prendergast went to the Canadian boundary and made careful estimates of the cost of the road and an examination of the course which would be followed by the road. Hayes will, within the next few days, pre- pare his report on the project and submit it to the Engineering Commis- sion at Valdez.
