Pioneer to Receive Reports

By special arrangement The Pioneer will receive bulletins of the worlds champion ship baseball series which commences to- day These will be telephoned to the creeks and to those interested as soon as received each day,
 For some unknown reason there has been unusual interest this year in the champion ship games which came to a close last Tues day This has been particularly true at Flat, where Jim Flnnegan states that it IS impossible to transact business in his popu- lar resort on the days the bulletins are re- ceved until their contents have been thor oughy discussed and digested, and all the "dope" of the diamond has been aired in its relation to the chances of the various clubs During the worlds series it is prob able that Jim will have to take to the woods for there promises to be plenty of interest in the greatest event of the Ameri- can national game

MAY BE ANOTHER MAIL
 BEFORE THE FREEZE-UP

There IS a bare possibility that Grrange- ments may be made to send in another con sgnment of mail to Iditarod prior to the freeze-up Under the terms of the summer mail contract weekly consignment Is pro- vided for until September 30, and later in case weather conditions permit. There Is at present no indication of the freeze-up being imminent and should there be mail for Iditarod along the Yukon it is likely to be forwarded.
 The mail boat, the launch Tramp, re- gently left for trip to Marshall, and should have returned to Holy Cross by tonight or tomorrow Therefore Postmaster Ansley ever alert to the interests of the patrons of the postoffice, wired to Chief Clerk Handles at Panama, advising him of that fact, and suggesting that any accumulated mail be forwarded at that time.
 In previous years it generally has hap pened that a large consignment of mail for Iditarod has been "hung up" on the Yukon at the close of navigation, to be forwarded after the commencement of the trail serv ice As this service between Ruby and 1dlt arod Is dependent on the Seward route from Tokotna, it generally has happened that full consignmcnts from Seward have prevented its being moved for weeks, and once it was not received until public subscription was taken up to defray the expense. This will be avoided this year if the authorities on the Yukon take advantage of the opportu nitv to forward whatever mail Is there con signed to this point.
