McGinnity Will Be
 Butte Manager in 1917

The directors of the Butte ball club have elected Joe McGinnity as manager for next year. and it was announced that the club was ahead of the game financially.
 The election of McGinnity will be something of a surprise to the other clubowners of the league, for it is current gossip that Joe was in bad at Butte. The old boy slipped some thing over. for he got himself elect ed again before the league meeting whlcn will be held in Spokane. At that meeting Joe will be asked to suostantiate the charges he made against Nick Williams and Frank Guigni and there is apt to be hair pulling time of it.
 Several club owners professed to believe that Joe would be dropped by the Butte club. but they proved to be poor guessers.

"Skagway will yet be the center for a big mining center" said Will lard R. Hilery. vice-presdent of the Ban kof Alaska at that place. "The developments by the New York and Gloucester, Mass. capitalists on the Ruby City and Silver Queen mines on Lake Bennett have demonstrated that property to be good. It is now shipping ore. and will be extensive ly developed"
 "In addition to the Lake Bennett development. the Windy Arm prop critics. near Carcross.. are being de- veloped." said Mir. Hnnery. "The Venus mine is already shipping ore, and the Big Thing is being opened up again. These are properties that were exploited several years ago by Col. J. II. Conrad, Col w. l.. Stew enson is interAted in the Big Big Thing.
 "The Engineer mine on Atlin Lake has been shipping for several years, and 1t will continue. lt Is now rich property, and has been opened up in a manner that will insure it's life for many years. It is claimed that ore to the value of $2,5OO,OOO has been blocked out and develop ment is being kept well ahead Of the mining.
 "The Whitehorse copper properties are either shipping ore or are be- ing opened up for that purpose.
 "All of these properties are in the territory which has its outlet through Skagway, and all contri' bute business to the town"
 Mir. HiIlery was in Juneau on his way to Wrangell where one of the branches of the Bank of Alaska is located. He will return to Skagway in about two weeks.

Bill Leard Will
 Reconstruct the
 1917 Giant Club

Scrappy Bill Leard, former Seat tie player and one of the best sec ond-sackers in the league, will take Tealey Raymond's place as manager O fthe Seattle Giants. and to Leard will fall the task of building a new Seattle team for 1917.
 Leard. who obtained his release from Tacoma couple Of days ago, and who has had his eye on the Se- atte managerial job for some time, is already on his way to California, where he will sign up half dozen or more ball players this winter. Leard will completely make over the Giants lineup, and has instruc- tions from President Dugdale to go as far as he likes.
 "I consider myself fortunate in getting Leard,' President Dugdale said in recent interview in the Seattle P.-I "He is a rustling man ager and a swell player and l am sure he will be a big help to the Seattle team. have given Leard instructions to line up squad of new players for Seattle and he will place new lineup in the field liext spring
 Leard was formerly a member of the Seattle team and he was a popular player there. He first broke in as second baseman in Seattle, as he had always played short and third before joining the Seattle club. Leard is fast man on the bases, has a good arm, is a pretty felders and has a wise head, all of which Dug thinks will give the Seattle club a winner next season.
