TRADES DOYLE, JACOBSON AND
 HUNTER FOR HEINZ ZIMMERMAN
Manager McGraw Engineers Swap With Weegh-
 man in Telephone Conversation.

great find for him. McGraw having great respect for Kinsella's judgment immediately sent for Larry and he joined the Giants the latter part of 1907.
 At the start, Laughing L.arry's work was very bad, but McGraw stuck to him on account of his hitting and in 1908 he came to the front with a rush. The Giants have always claim ed that it was the injury to Doyle in 1908 that put the Giants out of the championship. Doyle is not only a good hitter, but he is one of the fast est men in the league, being one of the five best base runners.
 A year ago last fall Doyle under went an, operation for a growth under an arm, that has slowed up the Giant infielder to a marked degree. Last season it was reported that Doyle and McGraw had had severad heated argu- ments and that when fined, Doyle had requested his release.
 Fine Trade for Cubs Zimmerman has long wanted a change from the Cubs and has been in continual trouble with umpires and with officials of the Chicago club. He has been at odds with Joe Tinker all season and the leader of the Cubs was determined to get rid of Heinie Tinker regards the trade as great one for the Cubs, as Doyle is still a great player. Hunter is said to have the makings of remarkable infielder and Jacobson is proving one of the great outfielders of the International League. Jacobson was farmed out to Rochester by the Giants and was ac- quired from Brockton of the Colonial League late last season. -
 Hunter came to the Giants from Iinsly Institute of Wheeling, W. Va. He got a trial in the New England League several years ago. Able judges of ball players pronounce Hunter a coming star.
 Despite the evident advantage in Chicago's favor in the trade, McGraw was willing to make sacrifices, as he is bent on reconstructing his team. He is going to make further changes before long.
 Zimmerman last night was elated over the change to New York, as he wanted to go to the Giants more than to any other club.
 'Zim" Born in New York In coming to the Giants Thinner man returns to the city of his nativity. He was born in New York on Frebru- ary 10, 1886, and learned his baseball on the sand lots of The Bronx. He played with the Bronx Athletics and other semi pr ofessional teams here. In 1907 he developed so we'll as second baseman of the 1907 Wilkes barre team of the New York State League that he was purchased in mid season by President Murphy. He join- ed the Chicago team in December and was used as a substitute. What few times he was, called upon he did so we'll, however, that Manager. Chance became of the opinion that he would in time develop into a star.

NASSAU FOOTBALL
 CANDIDATES WILL
 Z <, REPORT SEPT. I2

Princeton, N. J.. Aug. 2s-Capt. Crank Trsvor Hogg IL of the 1s1s { Princeton football team. has called his fellow -gridiron warriors to report [ for duty on Sept. IF, and from present i indications 100 men will respond to 1 the first call. At first glance Capt. Hoeg andt the roathss twill face a big 1ob this year in their effort to mould . winning team. but, while the availa- ble material stan is of questionable merit. the coaching staff is recognized as the most expert Princeton has had many years, and all Princeton has given it full confidence.
 Eleven first string men. all of whom were awarded: the varsity letter. have been lost from, last years eleven, but the number of substitutes were of talent equally as great as that of the first choices. Candidates from last years freshman class hold fair prom ise and should respond well to varsity coaching.
 In particular the weakest points in the embryo eleven, as, evidenced at this early stage, are quarterback, the ends and the tackles. The positions of greatest strength should be the lhalfbacks and ful1back, for which there are a number of candidates of almost equal merit. At the guard po- sitions, Capt. Hogg and Nourse will doubtless retain their posts and add strength to the vital part of the Tiger machine.
 Although the university has delayed its opening until Oct. 10, in order to obviate any danger from infantile paralysis, it is expected that the foot ball plans will progress according to schedule It is assured that the prac- tice will open Sept. 12, and it is likely that the first game with Holy Cross on Sept. 30 will be taken care of. There is a game with North Carolina University scheduled for Oct. 2. By the time the students have returned, the season will be well under way.

Chicago, H., Aug. 29-Heinie Zim- merman was traded last night to the Giants by the Cubs for Larry Doyle, OutfieIder Merwin Jacobson and 1n- fielder Herbert Hunter. The trade was officially announced by Presi- dent Charles Weeghman of the Cubs after he had held a long distance talk over the telephone with John Mo- GraW. who is in Cincinnati with his team.
 Doyle will be at the North Side to play second base for the Cubs tomor- row afternoon and Heinie will be in Cincinnati to play second base for the Giants Jacobson Is now playing the outfield for Rochester of the Interna- tional League and will be recalled Hunter will be used as utility man for the Cubs
 The announcement of the trade was quite a surprise, as every one sup posed that a deal was practically clos ed with the Philadelphia club, but after Manager Pat Moran of the Phil- adelphias had held a long conference with Weeghman today they failed to come to an agreement. In the evening McGraw called Weeghman over the telephone to learn the status of the case, and in a few minutes a trade had been closed.
 Although Doyle hasn't been hitting quite as high this season as usual. he still is looked upon as one of the stars of the National League, and only last season was the leading batter.
 Doyle's average so far this year is about .261 according to unofficial figures, while the same figures give Zimmerman an average of .296.
 Twelve Years Giant
 Doyle has served nearly twelve years for the Giants. In all that time he has been star and was one of the reasons why McGraw won four pen nants during that period. In spite of his long service in the league he. still is a younger man than Zimmerman, who came to the Cubs in 1908.
 The addition of Doyle to the Cubs should add great strength to the team, because he is as aggressive as any player in the game and will, fill up one of the weaker spots on the Cub in- field. Also he is a player who seldom has serious trouble with the umpires and never has any trouble with the manager or the other players on the team. He can be relied upon to give the club the best he has whenever he is in the game.
 Doy1e's Rapid Rise
 Doyle was born in CaseyvilIe, H., twenty-four years ago of Irish parents His boyhood days were spent around Caseyville and his present home of Breese.
 When 16 years old Doyle went to Paducah, Ky, as professional in- fielder. Larry's rise was rapid and the following year he was sent to Springfield in the Three I League. Dick Kinsella was manager of the club at that time and the work of young Doyle impressed him so that he notified McGraw that he had a

GOLD FROM THIS DISTRICT
 MAKES GOOD TIME TO COAST

Word was received during the week of the arrival of Bob Griffis and party at Seward with the shipment of gold which left this city on November P last. There was about 2,400 pounds in the shipment, which represented the clean ups of this dis trict after the close of navigation. The dis patch stated that the party was on the trail twenty four days and encountered fierce storms.
 A previous dispatch, received several days ago, stated that the party was laid up on the trail on account of the storms, and that temperature of 5S degrees below zero, with cold winds" had been encountered.
 The actual travelling time of twenty four days made by the party is considered good, and is about the time made regularly by the mail Old-timers, however, scoff at the idea of such low temperature being recorded during the progress of windstorms, as it is we'll known that the minimum temperatures seldom are accompanied by wind.
 The party consisted of Bob Griffis, Jim Haley and E. A. Beatte, with three dog teams.

NEW PRECINCT CREATED
 ON LOWER KUSKOKWlIsl

J. L. Heron arrived in the city early in the week from the lower kuskokwim, and left on the return trip on Thursday last. While here Mr. Heron, who has recently been appointed United States commissioner, with headquarters at Reindeer City, in the Canyon creek district, made arrangements for qualifying for his position.
 A new recording precinct has been ere ated which IS included in the Third division, For some time past there has been a con- troversy as to where the boundary line be- tween the Third and Fourth divisions ran, the miners of the Canyon creek district maint aiming that that creek was in the Third division, while others contended that it was in the Fourth division The result was that there was some confusion with regard to the recording of claims.
 It is believed that the judge of the Third division has put the matter at rest by de ciding that the territory is in the Third dl- vision, and the result is the creation of the new recording precinct.
 The new arrangement will be great con venience to the miners in the promising Canyon creek district and adjacent terri tory.
