Basketball Topics.

Basketball is looking up. Last night, following the announcement that the Wrangel team would not meet the Perseverance team on the A. B. floor, the Alaska-Juneau team and the Perseverance team wet on and put in an hours good, hard practice skirmage.
 The Alaska-Juneau team, togeth- CT with several of the A. B. team members played scrub game, with three mon on a side. Later the Perseverance team appeared and a regular scrimmage was had. The teams are rapidly rounding into shape for the start of the Gastineau Channel Basketball League sched- ulc, which is a double header at the A. B. hall next Wednesday.
 The Perseverance team will be picked from sprague, Hodkins, La than, Smokoon, Dermody and oth- CTS. The AlasBa-Juneau team will be picked from Mcdonald, Bucking- ham, Blackwell, Vincent, Davis, Ford and Coggins. The A. B. team will probably consist of BarQuist, Carlson, Mathews, Kletzing, Me Queen and several others, who have been turning out for practice.

Some MOguls to Pay More
 Money.

u4OhGNs
 Major league moguls are not go- ing to use the ax on salary lists with as much ferocity as was at first believed X least, certain ones of them have so announced, and others have come to the front with state ments that no cuts will be made in their payrolls.
 Capt. Til Hutson and Manager Bill Donovan, of the Yankees, have said Ratly that no salary cuts will be made for 1917. On the con- trary, several members of the Yau- kees ere due to get a raise in pay, while others will be rendered con tracts calling for the same amount they received last year.
 The Yankee owners have a mighty fair working basis for the appor- tionmcnt of salary among their men. If a player shows to potter advantage than was expected of him he is given raise in pay, but if, as in the case of 1916 Yankees, players are kept out of a number of games through injuries and do not get the chance to show their ability, the ax does not descend upon their bl- monthly ghost walks and they are treated with just as much defer encc as the player who has been In there working hard all season.
 Another club which is not going to slaughter the payroll is Washing ton. Manager Griffith has announc- ed that there will be no pruning of salaries done in his camp.
 Many other big league owners will grant increases in salary to some of their men and in some cases make cuts. Players who held wartime contracts will be the ones to suffer and it is generally be- lieverd that many of them have been overpaid. in such cases the mag mates are Justified in making rcduc- tions for it is not fair to the play CT who is making good and draw ing perhaps a much smaller salary. Such conditions breed dissatisfaction among the players and hurt the chances of the club.

Clancy Assigns His Defeat to
 Over Training.

George Clancy after his summary defeat at the hands of Kilbane, frankly admitted he had ben beaten by a better man. Put after due de- liberation Clancy has decided that his defeat was not so thorough as 1t might have been and that he has perfectly good excuse for his down. fall. He was stale, so he says. Chaney trained too much and too often, and he used up all his eX- cess stamina in training quarters. He promises that if he has another match with Kilbane he will not train SO suenuously and therefore will be in condition to reverse the result of their first meting.

Major league pitchers are slowly subduing the batsmen, as the dope of this season shows by compari- son with that of 1915. Part of this is due to the increasing tenden- cy of managers to yank a slabman, even if he be star, at the first sign that the other fellows are be- ginning to get him. still individual performances in holding teams to few hits demonstrate that the hurl- CTS are becoming more ecective.
