The Proof

OHRISTY MATHEwSON'S REDS have
y proved that a ball club can he an ag-
gressive. hustlng, hard-fghting lot without
constantly tearing into an umpire or start
ing a rumpus.
We haven't looked up their record in this
respect, but we have seen them play a
number of games, and in each instance their
aggressiveness was directed toward rum
making and trying to beat the other club.
Matty himself gave fine example along
this line a few days ago. Just as the Giant
pitcher wound up one of the umpires held
up his hand calling time to retrieve ball
from the stands. But the pitcher had
started his motion, not observing the signal
Neale followed with a home run, scoring
Chase ahead of him. 1t was n hard-luclS
decision to face, but Matty, after receiving
the umpires judgment, accepted without a
complaint when Neale was called back.
A Trife More So
Each year, as star young first basemen
like Sisler and Pipp come along we begin
to figure which will be the new king. And
then we happen to watch Hal Chase for a
few games or get few side lines upon
Suffy McInnis, and decide that the abdi-
cation of the veterans is trihe premature.
Chase is as great a first baseman today as
he ever was in his career. Even just trifle
more So for his heart is deeper in his
work.

CHICAGO, May 13.-The Board of Trade has withdrawn May wheat from speculation altogether.
 This action followed the summary notice that such would be prohi- bited and the advice that the gov- ernment was taking steps in this direction.
 No May wheat bids may be made or accepted in the floor of the pit.
 Traders however show no inten- tion of their being prohibited from having their gamble They forced up July wheat 2S cents in one day and September followed a jump of 31 cents, this after the prohibition of May wheat from speculation.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.- It is expected that the Election Committee will hear the claims of the Honorable James Wickersham to be recognized as the delegate from Alaska instead of the Honor able Charles Sulzer now the seated delegate.

LOGGING AND OTHER

SEATTLE, May 13.-The Puget Sound country is now enjoying the long delayed boom With wages bet ter than at any period since the summer of 1907.
 Ship building in Seattle is being rushed and yards are extending in all directions. The sawmills are literally swamped with orders for structure lumber and the payroll of western Washington in this in dustry alone is showing an increase of two million dollars a month over one year ago.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-05-14

The long delayed prosperity that lumber interests have watched other sections enjoying since the war be- gan, has now at length reached here and the demand for men is unequalled ill many months and years.
 The wages are such as to be still low enough for unskiled workers, but at that they are better than in a considerable number of years.
