Ten Years Ago.

Which suggests another thought. Ten years ago, when we were raking together a few odds and ends of dope in Cleveland, we recall a Western in VasiOn of Mack's club.
 It was one of the big jokes of the year. His old machine had just caved in and he was trying to build up an other.
 Loud and merry laughter went around the landscape when Connie sOlemnlN stated one afternoon when he had lost about fourteen out of fifteen games with a joke lineup that lie would soon be back in the hunt
 But the laughter wasn't quite so loud nor quite merry a season or two later on. when Collins, Barry, Baker, McInniS, Strunl<, COOmbs anI

St. Louis, Aug. 15.-Fielder Jones is now all smiles. This is due to the fact that the Browns are show ing up well and have a splendid chance to win the pennant. Jones says his team is going well, and with an even break in luck the Browns should be there at the finish. '1 have the speediest team in the American league" said the St. Louis leader re- gently, and the boys seem to have

The Giants pitching staff seemed to Ne out to beat it's Every worst" record. Sometimes the Giants hurling corps Anoves along as though they should be She best in the league, as for instance Hehen Anderson, Sallee and Tesreau Recently shut out the Pirates in suc- kessive days. At other times the staff looks as though McGraw should put S11l his pitchers in a crate and ship Them out to Missouri or Keokuk. Ben- lon pitched the first one and got |euffed right from the start, while in the second game Anderson and Schupp shared the beating. Moran won with his two big win hers, Grover Alexander and Eppa |Rixey. Alec recorded his twelfth shut but of the season and limited the New York men to four hits. RiXey was hit hard in the second game, the |Giants making eleven bingles against ten for the Phtls, but that early clus- ter of five runs bolstered up Eppa and he had a chance to take life easy The scores:

Another Point.

Barry belongs with success. He belongs to the winning species of the game.
 There are now just two ball play CTS who have taken part in five world series and who have their chance for sixth shot at the October kale.
 Both are John Us both are second basemen and both play for a Boston club.
 This may, not be a coincidence, but whatever it is. the parallel can be further continued, for both are along the same brainy. alert lines.

World Series Returns.

If the Red SOX finish first again this year, Rarry's full return from his six world series ventures will be around $1S,O00, for he has been on four world series winners out of five starts, showing that his success has not been limited to pennant play.
 He is one of the most valuable types that a ball club can carry, and if he were only a. consistent 300 hit ter he would be listed today as one of the greatest stars of all time.

 So it might be said that Connie Mack was a prevalent factor in put ting the Red SOX, White SoX, Browns and Brooklyn where they are. But fer the men that Connie had found, developed and sold there would have been a different yarn to spin.

JUNEAU TO PARADE
 FOR PREPAREDNESS

JUNEAU. - The chairman of the subcommittee for the Fourth of July celebration met last night in Grover Winn's office and discussed the plans for the celebration,
 Preparedness is to be the keynote of the day. The monster parade is to be a preparedness parade, rather than a parade of celebration. Merchants and automobile owners will be asked to follow preparedness subjects when decorating their floats, bodies of men will be asked to turn out, the Juneau Bremen will march in a body and be opponents of preparedness, and lead ing officials and citizens will march in the procession. The parade will have no political significance of any kind, but will merely illustrate the growing demand of all sections of the United States for adequate protection.
 Sports will take great part of the day. There will be sports of all kinds for the children, hose races and water fights between the fremen from the Alaska-Juneau, Thane, Perseverance and city fire departments, ball games, balloon ascensions and band concerts will complete the program of the day.
 The committee was informed that about S1 300 will be available for the celebration and they are working with view of spending just that and no more.-Ex.

GARBAGE PLANT FURNISHES HIGH EXPLOSIVE FOR
 EUROPEAN BATTLEFRONT

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 COLUMBUS, O., June 22. -- When housemaids here empty potato peel ings, melon rinds and other scraps into the garbage can for the city re- duction plant they are supplying ex- plosives for the European battlefronts and, incidentally, about $75,OOO a year income for this city. The same is more or less true in other American cities with reduction plants.
 Both grease and tankage are pro- ducts of green garbage. The greese is sold to chemical concerns that make it into glycerin. This product, in turn is used in making high explosives for the European fronts.
 In addition to the sale of grease and tankage, the reduction plant of acials hope to increase the profits of the plant by the manufacture of al- cohol. Experiments in this manu- facture are now being made.

BALL
 PLAYERS COME
WELL SET UP BUNCH COMES TO DO BATTLE WITH SEW
 ARDS CHAMPS.

The twelve Fort Liscum boys who will do battle tomorrow with the champion nine of Seward on the local diamond arrived yesterday on the steamship Alaska and were met on the dock by a committee representing the city. The visitors are well set up, clean cut looking bunch and if appearances count for anything Sew ard will have its hands full.

The names of the visitors are Allen (captain), Combs, Brawn, Empey Fisher Gard ner Clifford, Hank, Lains, Mann. Empey, Mann and Fisher are sub stitutes.
 Contain Allen is very modest about the abilities of his men but accounts coming from Valdez show that the visitors are a dangerous lot on a dia- mond.
 The Seward team to meet them is selected from the following;
 Catchers: Crit Holman, Otto Poehl- mann.
 Pitchers: Erich Lucas, Gus Man they, Frank Nickerson.
 Infeld: Heinie Haasch, Tom Fin negan, Irving Taylor, Frank Kicker son, Joe Campbell, Johnnie Kaser- owsky.
 Outfeld: George Adams, Matt Ryan, Jack Finnegan, Julian Reed, Gus Manthey.
 All desiring to enter the rock drill- ing and log rolling contests must have their entries in tonight at the Miners Store at 9 o'clock. Owing to weather conditions it has not yet been decided when the field sports will be held.
