PATSY CLINE Is REAL
LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLER

New York. April 22-"Irish" Patsy
Cline, the little New York lightweight
has succeeded in climbing into the spot
light as one of the most dangerou con-
tenders for the 133-pound title thl the
county can boast of today.
But like a GOOD many boys, Cline's
claim to recognition has been passed up
by some of the boys who stand In the
front rank. and probably for the very
good reason that they fear the little
Harp"
A few nights ago Cline handed Eddie
Wallace the sensational Brooklyn bat
tier, one OF the most artistic trimmings
that Eddie has ever received. Those who
saw the bout wsre knocked cold with sur
prise at Clines showing. They didn't
think II was In him. And the chatter
over his showing has spread so fast that
he Is now getting the recognition that
he has deserved for a long time.
One thing In Cline's favor Is the fact
that he Is a legitimate lightweight He
can make 1s3 pounds ringside

WHO WILL Lead in
| BATTING next FALL?
Speaker and Chase to Have Many
Rivals This Year.

New York, April 22-with the ring
ing UP of the curtain on the big
league pennant races another cam
paign for the batting championships
will be launched.
And unless present Indications 60
amiss there will be few changes in
the scenery around the top of the
swatting columns when the season
ends net fall. The leaders Of 1915
may have to give way to one of the
sluggers who was close on their heels
last fall, but the general makeup of
the select set will be much the same.
Iris Speaker led the American
average of ass. and Handsome" Hal
Chase topped the swatsmen of the
National League with an average Of
.Sss. Both will be out to repeat this
year, and of the two it is hard to de-
termine which will have the greatest
opposition.
II Speaker leads the American
League again he will have to outhit
Cobb and Jackson. And that is a mans
sized job, believe us. But in numbers
II appears that Chase will have great
er opposition than Speaker. for in the
National League there are several
sweet macers who are very liable to
show Chase their heels.
Young Hawke" Holke, of the
Giants. hit for a greater average than
did Chase in 1916. but he played in
only thirty-five games. Nevertheless,
he Is a prospective rival of Prince
Hal. Then there is Davy Robertson
to consider. and from the manner in
which Davy has been plastering the
pill this spring he will be very much
In the running. Lew Daubert. Bill
Hlnchman, Roger Hornsby. Tommy
Long, Zack Wheat and Benny Kauff
must all be considered. To mention
Kautf may seem a waste of space to
some readers, but Benn's greatest am
bition is to hit 800 or better in the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Cobb and Jack

Bob Veach. Amos Strunk. Eddie Col
Inns, Oscar Felsch and one or two
others
Some of the newcomers in both big
leagues may show surprising ability
to hammer the ball, but 1t is doubtful
that any recruit who has come to the
fore this year will manage to finish
the season registered a. q 800 swats-
man. The best looking players who
have come up this year are not ex-
pected to enter the charmed class, ac-
cording to the reports we get from
the training camps. The scribes who
/ have been following the big league
clubs usually mention that IF he can
hit $50 he will prove a valuable as
set"
| Last season there were just an even
twenty 300 hitters in the two major
leagues. eleven in the American and
nine in the National OF this number
four played in but few games. The
four in question are Runker, OF St
Louis; Spencer. of Detroit; Holke, of
New York. and Huggins. of the Cardi-
nails.
It's a tough game trying to batter
the offerings OF big league pitchers
to 800 tune. and with the pitchers
getting craftier as the seasons come
and go the number of hitters who
manage to stick in that class will
scarcely increase to any noticeable
extent.

GOSSIP CAUSES PRIEST M MUCH
 ANNOYANCE

LONDON, Feb 20. - There was young Catholic priest from Brooklyn, New York, who just wriggled into England between the inhospitable claws the British lion has unsheathed to protect the empire against unwel- come visitors. The Philadelphia brought him to Liverpool from Flat bush, and nearly took him back. For Father William J. Fallon, we'll known among the Catholic clergy of the east, was almost convicted of being an Irish rebel.
 In the spontaneous arguments that developed in the smoking room of transatlantic liner, the little bit of heaven" had warm supporter in the person of the enthusiastic young priest. Home rule for Ireland was his theme, and he upheld it vigorously before the florid Canadian lawyer.
 One old gossip aboard, whose elbow was worn crooked, and who. if he had lived in London, would have been re- quired to wear a shade over his nose at night under the defense of the realm act, tipped off Captain Candy that he was harboring a Sim Feiner
 When the alien officers came aboard the story had grown, until Father FallOn was loaded with dyna- mite and a bosom companion of the late lamented Roger c. They had him up on the carpet.
 For over an hour the battle ragged They searched his trunks. scattered his papers, forced him into damaging admissions. and got back always as gcod as they gave. The climax came when, to cinch their point. the off. cers called in several witnesses. They finally let him land.

kAbyLES SOLVE PARIS REFUSE
 PROBLEM

PARIS, Feb. 20. - Sixty tall Kaby- les, mountaineers from eastern All geria, descendants from the hardy and redoubtable race of Berbers, have lent a useful hand to the solution of the Paris street cleaning problem.
 Garbage boxes that are now set out of doors in some quarters as early as 10 o'clock in the evening, to the damage of a great many shins in dim ly lighted streets, are encountered in other quarters as late as o'clock in the afternoon, all on account of the lack of help. Paris thus has been enjoying seventeen hours of continu- ous contemplation of city refuse that is stirred, shaken and overturned in the meantime for rags, paper and bones. The Kabyles have done so we'll toward remedying this situation that 300 more of them will be utilized il the work

completely frozen over, and people crossed on the ice In 1639 Marseil les was again ice bound and the popu- lation suffered a famine, accompanied by a great lack of fuel.
 In 1858 the Swedish army under command of Charles Tenth, crossed the Little Belt on the ice. In 1885 the Adriatic sea was again frozen over.
 In ITS the ice in the Thames was again so strong that houses could be built on it. So far as I can find out history does not state if land rent was collected for them, and If so, by whom.
 In 1912 all crops in Norway froze from the coast to the interior, and on June 21 people froze to death.
 In 1874 the Thames closed again, the city of London being completely enveloped in a black fog, and all the places of amusement closed.
 In 1867 all grain and potatoes and also other crops in Finland were com pletely destroyed by a frost and a severe famine ensued.-Citizen.

LETTER LIN WAY MONTHS RENAL
 ID SEWARD

Reply to a letter to the island of Mauritius, the Falklands, Zululand, Fiji or Borneo can be had as quickly as registered letter sent to Kenai. less than 75 miles distant from Sew ard. This fact was demonstrated yes terday when the firm of Morford & Finnegan received legal instrument from Emil Berg at Renal, which was mailed to him in October, with in. structions to rush an answer.
 October, November, December, Jan. uary, February, and the rushed an swer" arrived.
 Attorney Finnegan says he could have done much better had he started in and broken a new trail over the hills from the head of the bay and taken the letter in person.
 The letter has to do with a suit brought by Emil Berg against the Co lumbia Salmon Company for s8,OO0 as the result of a case brought against Berg by the company last year, which was won by him after trial here.
 It is suggested by the attorneys that those interested in the proposal of the forestry department to open up trail down the river from Roosevelt to Ke- mai, clip this story out for reference.- Seward Gateway.
