BASEBALL TERMS

Baseball, this countrys great ma
tional pastime, has come to have a
language of it's own. The newspaper
men who follow the fortunes of the
various big league teams throughout
the season of activity on the diamond
would not be able to tell their story
if they did not employ many words
and expressions whose meaning is
clear enough to the more enthusiastic
fans" but often more or less OBJ
scure to casual followers of the game.
The New Universities Dictionary
being offered to the readers of this
paper contains supplementary die
t1onary, giving an exhaustive list of
such terms, and defines them so fully
and clearly that anyone after little
study would be able to read under
standingly the most difficult of the
Sporting Editors passages.
The study of this list will be found
not only entertaining but instructive.
as many of the words treated therein
have been borrowed by writer's in the
general field of literature seeking new
and effective means of expression, and
their use outside of the baseball COL
umn in the newspaper has come to be
regarded as both proper and in good
taste
The expression "hugging the base"

S4OO ,OOO IS FOUND BY
 COWBOY IN ONE CACHE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 25.-Dis- covery of $40O.O0O. cached in the hills of Graham county, this state, is reported by H. R. Whitman, of Sol omonville. The discovery was made by Joe Walsey, a cowboy, according to Whitman.
 While hunting stray cattle north west of Solomonville, Walsey found a tree trunk from which the handle of a shovel protruded. Digging disclosed an iron box containing old Spanish gold coins and gold vessels, the intri- cate working of which is said to bring the value of the find above the $4OO,0OO estimates as it's worth as bullion.
 The gold has been taken to Saf- ford, seat of Graham county, and plac- ed in security. Old residents say Wal sey has discovered the hiding place of priests who left that section about seventy-five years ago, when 1t was a part of Mexico. It has always been thought that the priests buried the church wealth before fleeing.

OLD TIME PROSPECTOR
 SAYS HE HAS FOUND PAY

William A. Clark, an oldtimer in Alaska, has just returned from a ten days prospecting trip in the Snug Harbor country. He thinks that he has at last found the Fl Dorado of this section of Alaska. The rock is now being assayed by Thurmond. The ore is sulphide and carries free gold, MT. Clark says. and by reason of the fact that it is situated within two hundred feet of tide water there is no question in his mind but that the claims will prove of great value.
 The party of which he was mem- Der consisted of seven men and all of them staked two claims each near MT. Clark's discovery claim. The Aino power boat was used on the trip Anchorage Times.

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 2S-The Rev.

The pro- ceeds of the game will be devoted to the purchase of baseball supplies for the men of the national army from Los Angeles.
 Douglas Fairbanks. who was in New York, telegraphed a challenge to MT. Sunday and the latter lost no time in telegraphing his acceptance It was announced that the members of Mir. Sundays party would form his team and most of them are in fine trim and baseball experts because of constant practice with their leader.
 There is plenty of talent available in the motion picture camps as all the stars include the usual form of athletics in their training work.
 The game will be played at Wash ington Park, usually occupied by the Coast League and capable of seating 13,OOO spectators.

The Burnsides is reported to be at Ketchi- kan and as the break is in that di- rection near Sitka, it is expected the line will be spliced and communica- tion renewed. The line is also broken between Seward and Cordova, and the towns to the westward have had no news for about ten days.

In a letter received today from Judge Stowe out at Camp 1S7 he stated that there are plenty of moose out that way and that Big Willow Creek country has an abundance of game and the creek is alive with fine trout. The Judge sent in a mess of trout to Mine Host Richter of the Richter House and some of the star boarders are still smacking their lips.
 The Judge expects to get away for about a week the latter part of this month and promises to bag the limit of all kinds of game and the best of it is we believe that Judge will do it. The winter doesn't look so bad af- ter all provided the Judge has not lost the cunning of his trigger finger. Exchange.

DOGS CANNOT
 BE DRIVEN OUT
Wind Blows Down the Inclosure, but Seven of Nine inmates Refuse
 To Stay Away

It has always been known that "the cat came back" and if it doesn't stray too far away the chicken oc- casionally comes home to roost and the Bible tells of a prodigal son and other human derelicts that returned to the family fireside. These facts are now so we'll established that they are beyond controversy, but who ever heard of a dog returning to it's pound? Poundmaster Edward Cone comes through with the tale of a dog that is countenanced only on account of the officials unquestioned veraci- ty.
 Not one dog but seven, peculiar to Alaska and innured to hardy life, are the subjects of the poundmaster's story.
 All typical Nortnerners are lovers of dogs and undoubtedly for this req son Cone was selected last summer as official canine catcher which position he has filled with credit to himself and the Pound with dogs. In accept ing the office, Cone uttered the fab led words of Socrates in taking similar position in Rome some years ago:
 "If the position does not reflect honor upon me, I will reflect honor upon the position.
 This Cone has done to the great de- light of the stray dogs and the per feet satisfaction of the owners. some of whom have been known to sic their dogs on the dog catcher so the ami mals might be incarcerated.
 Owing to financial deficiency in this particular department. money was not available to erect a perman- ent and perfectly strong pound so temporary quarters were constructed from cloth. upon sand. In passing. it might be well to mention that the dog pound has become so remunerat- ible and such a sources of revenue of late, that suitable and substantial quarters will be built for next sea- sons catch.
 Living at Cones hotel has become habit with some and they vie with one another for the poundmaster' caress. They like the food. which con sists mainly of corn meal mush. lib- orally seasoned with meat scraps from restaurants.
 During the recent heavy winds the temporary dog pound was blown down and the inmates had to seek shelter elsewhere. There were nine in number and everyone of different breed and species. The accident hap pened in the night and Cone tossed sleepless, bemoaning the escape of his charges. Imagine his surprise next morning when he woke to find seven of the nine dogs returned to the site of the pound. friskingly waiting for him to make his appearance.
 To Cones treatment of dogs may be attributed the fact that the own CTS of several valuable animals have been reduced almost to financial dis tress in bailing them out repeatedly. Anchorage Times.
