RAILROADS HAVE CARRIED
MANY SOLDIERS SINCE
AUGUST

: Washington, D. c., Nov. 24.--Troop
movcemnt figures to date indicate
, that the railroads of this country
have safely transported approx
mately 100000 soldiers to training
camps and embarkation points since
gust 1st, according to a statement
just made public by Chairman Fair
, fax Harrison, of the Railroads War
! Board Five hundred thousand of
these men have made journeys ne
cessitating overnight travel and have
been moved in tourist or standard
sleepers furnished by the Pullman
Company.
On one of the long hauls. 5000
men were moved from a training
camp on the Western Coast to a
point on the Eastern Coast, a dis
lance OF 300 miles in a little less
than week. The men travelled in
sixteen sections, each section com
prising II tourist cars and 2 baggage
cars
In order to centralze the furnish
ing Of sleeping cars at point most
convenient to the government and
to utilize these cars to the best ad
vantage, the Pullman changed the

and on receipt of requests from mil
itary authorities for sleeping car
equipment has seen that the cars
were rushed at once to the points
needed.
AS result of this cooperation be-
tween the government, the railroads
and the Pullman Company, half
million soldiers have been spared the
discomforts Of making long train
trips in day coaches.
To assure the safety of the men in
transit, the railroads have adopted
an average speed of rs miles an
hour for all troop trains except when
freight cars needed for the transpor-
tation of equipment are included in
The trains. The speed is then re-
1uced to 20 miles an hour.

The ball team arrived home in good shape after having had a most interesting visit at Fairbanks They report a good drubbing at the hands of the Fairbanksans, but are going to give it back to them with interest next Sunday at the game here if such d thing is possible Great preparations are being made for the game, the idea of the Nenana bunch being to receive the Fairbanksans in like manner as they were received there. They extend their thanks to Manager Sherman and all of the base ball boys tor their courtesy, and only hope that, with the limited ia cilities at hand, they will be able to do as well for the Fairbanks nine when they come here for the game next Sunday. It is hoped that those Fairbanksans who come down next Sunday with the idea of attend ing the game can get here on Sat urday to enjoy the Red Cross ba- zaar and dance Saturday afternoon and evening.

EAIRBANkSANS WIN FROM THE
 NE.NA\A BOY <

~ .G N \ ~ \ l'NF |
 The Fairbanks goat. buried deep in the sands of the desert" at Ncnana. turned over in his grave on sunday And t Is probable that after ne>t sundays baseball game between Fairbanks and Nenana. to be played a, the railroad town. he will push aside the sand that covers hIm, jump on the launch with the boys, and come back home again. For after suffering defeat last summer at the hands of the Nenana team. the Fair banks baseball bunch retrieved them selves in the eyes of the local fans at the park last Sunday afternoon by defeating the Nenana aggregation by the score oG 10 ?. showing that they are slowly but surely getting their goat back again.
 The game was good one from start to finish after the Nenana bunch started 10 play ball Worth was in the box for the first three innings for the visitors, and it was during the first inning that Fairbanks SC cured the first four scores. Worth held them down to a goose egg dur ing the second inning, but in the third he let in two more men.
 Captain Van Houten, of Nenana, then relieved Worth by putting Han sen in the box, putting Worth on third in Hansen's place for the re mainder of the game. Van Houten himself succeeded Harold Anderson behind the bat after the second inn ning. Hansen permitted but two scores after he went into the box, holding the game down to an even break, as Nenana made it's two runs in the lucky seventh"
 The game played by the Fairbanks boys was practically errorless, with only few errors on the part ol Nenana. Mattson pitched the entire game for Fairbanks, and was well supported. In fact, it can be truth fully stated that Fairbanks had the best team on Sunday that it has had for years.
 On the other hand. the Nenana az gregation was not nearly as strong as that brought here last summer. Nor has the ball team at the rail road town had as much practice as the local boys. These facts, con nected with those that the Nenana bunch had travelled all the night before to get here, are an ample "alibi" in their favor.
 There was good sized turnout at the game, the gate receipts being, however, but little more than the necessary expense in bringing the Nenana bunch here. The game start ed in ideal weather but a rainstorm came up about the sixth inning, and the game went on in the rain for about half an hour, many of the spectators being driven away
 The story of the game, as told in baseball facts and figures, is as fol lows.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., June IL Congressional controversy over the proposition to purchase a site on the Atlantic coast for naval base and training station has halted ac- tion on the administrations war budget bill It is thought, however, that the matter will come to d head tomorrow and that an agreement will then be reached whereby one or another of the proposed sites will be purchased.
 The controversy is chiefly over the proposed purchase of the site of the Jamestown exposition for naval training purposes. The matter of the purchase is in conference com mittee now, and the senate has in structed its conferees to agree to the purchase of the exposition site and nothing else, but the house con lerees have so far refused to give in to them.
 The house, however, has virtually agreed to a proposition to empower Secretary of the Navy Daniels to make the purchase of a site on Chesapeake bay, providing the cost Of such site is not more than $l, 100000. Just what objection the con gressmen have to the exposition grounds as a training site is not known.
