One Title That Wil Be Known.

One football championship that will be decided finally is that of the Big Nine; for, Northwestern Uni versity of Chicago, and Ohio State College undefeated so far this sea- son. will meet at Columbus, Ohio, on the Saturday before Thanksgiy- iug. In the Eastern intercolle- giate field they are rarely ever able to arrive at a definite title-winner. In the Missouri Valley, Nebraska will not meet University of Mis- souri this year. On the Pacific Coast tho Universities Of Oregon and Washington have played a score less tie
 Neither Ohio State nor North western was given credit as a championship possibility at tho opening of the season, and their showing to date has brought about one of the biggest onsets of the dope in Nle history of the Western Intercollegiate Conference.
 Northwesterns to triumph over Indiana, Ohio States 14 to 19 victory over Wisconsin and the IA to downfall of Minnesota at the hands of Illinois were distinct surprises of recent program. Min nesto, on past performances. was generally considered by critics to have a clean sweep to the cham pionship.
 Northwestern has two more games to play and Ohio State one before these teams clash in the cham pionship contest. Ohio faces In- diana next Saturday, while North western takes on Iowa. Purdue will oppose Northwestern a week hence. The two teams, of course, must win their remaining games to earn an undisputed right to play for the title.

But, just when the Toledons were skipping one another on the back Garry Herr mann, Cincinnati club owner kicks in with a denial.
 Hermann says that while waiv- CTS had been asked on Shulz and Toledo had put in a claim for him, no deal sor the pitcher had been closed. The Cincy club owner also announces that waivers had been asked and secured on Inhelder Rob ert Fisher and Outhelder George Twombley.

Others would Follow Lannln
 The sale of the Boston American League, within month after the team had won the Worlds cham Ipionship, is thought by many close followers of baseball politics to mark the first of Q number of changes and readjustments in ma ior league circuits. Former Presi- dent J. J. Lannin made no secret of the fact that the Red SoX were for sale and, if rumors and inner circle gossip can be accepted at face value, several other club owners are just as willing to dispose Of their holdings but lack the frank ness Of Lannin.
 The president of the Boston Am orleans placed a price Of S750,O0O upon the club early in the present year and, it is understood, was offer ed and refused S5O0,OOO. Under the circumstances, the sale of the Red SON, while the glamour of the Worlds Series victory was still fresh at $675,OOO appears in the light of a compromise Judging from past results and attendance figures at Boston, the new owners made an excellent deal when the value of the club, franchise and park proper ey is taken into consideration.
 The Boston Club entered the Am ericap League in 1901 and since that season has won the junior league pennant five times and the worlds championship three times. In the sixteen years the Red Sox have finished fourth or better every season except in 19O6-7-S and 1911. The average position of the team for the full period works out as 3h. Furthermore, Boston has al- ways been noted as a good baseball town, supporting it's clubs with

The light station and fog signal at Cape St Elias are now both working in proper style, according 10 William J. Wright. constructor for the Lighthouse Service, who ar rived in Juneau yesterday
 When first installed this summer, the fog signal would not work and the force at the station could not get it in shape to make the proper signals The engines for compress ing the air to work the horns would not run and the force at the station could not find out what was the matter.
 An expert on fog signals was sent north from the factory which made the machinery for the plant and found that the oil purchased by the department for the engines was too high grade and until lower grade oil was secured the engines would not work properly.
 The lighthouse tender Kukui pass ed through Juneau a short time ago with the expert on board bound pr the station Soon after his ar rival at the station the trouble was found
 "When we left there less than a week ago the plant was working per fectly and with a new shipment Of lower grade oil which has been re- ceiyed it is expected that the en- zines will not give any further trou- ble," said Mir. Wright last night.

How Catarrh Is Contracted

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract The inflam-
nation of the mucus membrane, at
first acute, becomes chronic and the
child has chronic catarrh, a disease
that is seldom cured and that may
prove a life's burden. Many persons
who have this loathsome disease will
remember having had frequent colds
at the time it was contracted. A lit
tie forethought, a bottle of Cham

used, and all this trouble might have
been avoided. Obtainable every
