TEUTON NATIONS TO DECLARE WAR ON U. S
AN IMPRESSION
(By Annabel MacConnellD


 Previous to my arrival in Cordova, I heard much discussion regarding this small city of Alaska, and from the remarks I gathered that Cordova was the "Clam City of Alaskai" Now, this fact was of vast interest to me, for I am great lover of sea foods, and perhaps like the clam a little better than any of them. Subsequent to my arrival, l learned that Cordova, above all else, is the Copper City of Alaska. She is so beautiful Cat least geograph- ically) that 1 trust the latter cog nomen rather than the former will cling to her.
 Arriving here late at night, natural ly the snow-capped mountains of it's environs were about the only features we could see clearly. Our enjoyment of the scenery was somewhat rudely interrupted, however, by the remark able behavior of the automobile which was conveying us into town. Half way up the hill, coming from the dock. the engine spluttered and hissed like huge animal in pain, and suddenly we started backwards down the incline think all of the passengers were as scared as I, though nobody said any thing, and the driver inspired conf dence among us, for he seemed to be quite used to this occurrence, if not expecting it. Finaly arriving at the foot of the hill, we got good start and up we went and soon the hospit- able doors of the comfortable Windsor opened to receive us.
 The next day we ventured forth into the town; not only were there gor- geous glistening white mountains on every side, but flowing at the foot of them the beautiful blue waters of Cordoya bay. We were curious to learn whether the town were worthy of it's magnificent setting, so we me andered about the business section, NiSiilHS lht suops anu FeStduldEtsy and in these latter we sampled the famous razor backs. cooked in various styles and combinations. While they do undoubtedly possess a delicious flavor it seems to me that a tragedy might ensue were any unfortunate person wearing store teeth to attempt to annex any of them.
 Leaving the subject of clans - we were greatly impressed by the size and class of the various we'll stocked shops in your town, together with their neat, prosperous and we'll cared for appearance. Your buildings, un- like the majority in Alaska towns, really look as though they had been erected with design and not by. acci- dent, giving a permanent, growing and prosperous appearance. In fact, we have fallen in love with Cordova, and we hope that at every future visit, we shall find her more and more pros porous, together with her charming and hospitable people.

SUNDAY |NVADES
 NE W Y0Rk TOMORROW
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, April T. Billy Sun days giant tabernacle is all ready for him to start his fight on the devil in New York at Broadway and 168th street tomorrow morning. The big choir is organized. Every citizen, large and small; every working girl, every boy, every laborer, every scrub woman, has been told and told of Sun- days coming. Thousands of them have been organized into bible classes, personal workers, singers and other assistants to the redoubtable Billy.
 This New York campaign is expect ed to be Sundays greatest triumph or his worst tumble from the pedestal of evangelism. New York awaits him without much to say. It is inordinate- ly curious to see what he looks like and how he acts.
 Broadway and booze have paid It. tie attention to him. He may stir up a fight with the Great White Way af-
 
 ardent supporters and financial aids here is John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and Mrs. Rockefeller.
 Sunday has said he will be bit timer here with his slang and his slams than elsewhere. New Workers wonder why. It rather expected him to tear loose and go the limit and over. But Sunday says slang is out of use mostly now, and he thinks there are few good theatres and carabet restaurants too.
 Billy will turn his tabernacle into big recruiting station since the United States went to war with Ger many. His son, George M. Sunday, will join the aviation corps, he says.

N0W |S TIME TO ORGANIZE OUR
 BALL TEAM [

This Is baseball weather and the Cordova Park Association should get busy and formulate plans for the com ing season. It will be necessary to do considerable work on the grounds and it is none too early to arrange for series of games here during the Fourth of July celebration.
 Practically all members of last years team are here, as we'll as number of new players. In fact. there is plenty of material for one of the best clubs in Alaska. We have an Oriental pitcher. Lon On Toi, who has a record and can break into al- most any league. He is employed as checker and in charge of the ware house of the Carlisle Packing Con- pany. Lon On Toi Is a southpaw, with lots of speed and puzzling curves. His delivery is identical to that of Rube Marquards. Mike Lynch, man. ager of the Tacoma Tigers, tried to sign him in 1911, when he was pitch ing for the Port Townsend Cubs. That season he pitched twenty-four games and only lost five. His best year was 1910, when he won twenty-four games out of twenty-five. Charlie Lang, brother of Bill Lang, the famous cen ter fielder of the Chicago Cubs, was the manager of the team when he dis covered the Chinaman and brought him to the front.

Golf affairs are controlled and interpreted
in this country by the United States GOLF
Association. There are about 1000 golf
clubs in this country. Of which 1900 are
actually listed OF these only 451 are MEM
bers of the United States Golf Association,
and of the 451, only 102 have anything to
say or do with golf affairs. Whether this
is a representative body we leave to your
Imagination. In the last year or so the
Western Golf Association made UP of clubs
from Pittsburgh west to and including
the Pacific coast and from Canada to the
Gulf of Mexico, has been at odds with the
parent body and has legislated about the
amateur golfer and the stymie.
1t is interesting to note just how the
102 clubs which control golf legislation
in this country are divided as to geography.
Here is the list of them, according to the

Four States Absolutely Supreme

Separating these we will find that of this
1O2 sixty-two are in the eastern States, and
of these fifty-fve are in four States, New
York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Con-
necticut. OF the others thirty-six are in the
States affiliated with the Western Golf AS
sociation. In the L. S. c. A. there are
forty-two States. and only nineteen of these
have any say in that body, and the four
States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
rana and Massachusetts can outvote the
rest of the country
Such important States as New Hampshire,
with eight courses; Virginia. with eight;
Rhode Island, with seven; West Virginia,
with six; North Carolina, with five, and such
States as Florida, Nebraska, Washington,
North Dakota, Indiana Maine, Tennessee,
New Mexico, South Carolina. Alabama,
Oklahoma. Arkansas. Kentucky and Oregon
have nothing whatever to say in the u. s.
q. a. OF the Southern States only four
have any vote in the national body Of
those west of the Mississippi only four have
a vote.
There are 22S clubs in the Western Golf
Association, and leaving out the eastern and
the Canadian clubs there are 22O Yet only
thirty-six have any say in the u. S. G. A.
Is it any wonder the Western Golf Assoca-
ton says that the national body is national
in name only?
