Boston. July 2s.-Boston won two
games from St Louis today. the open
ing game II to ,, and the second
to 3. gaining on Chicago, the league
leaders. Poor pitching and "retched
fielding gave Boston its chance in the
first game. in which Ruth had easy
sailing In the second encounter the
Jones men started very well, by hit
ting Foster hard, but as the contest
progressed Foster improved. Sotheron
was bombarded with base hits, and
gave way TO Rogers, who did not prove
any puzzle TO Boston.
In the first game, John Lavan was
hit in the ribs by a pitched ball. and
threw his bat at Ruth. Umpire Dineen
ran between the two players. There
was no serious damage done and at the
close Of the inning, Ruth and Lavan

IT IS NOT LIKELY NAME OF MOUNT RAINIER
 WILL EVER BE CHANGED

WASHINGTON. March 1--An orfic. ial of the Board of Geographic Names said that it is entirely un- likely a change Of the name of Mount Rainier to Mt. Tacoma would be au. thorized even if the Washington State Legislature should petition for such a change.
 "The question of naming this mountain has been before the board several times in recent years, and the board officially acted and named it Mount Rainier" this official said, All the official maps and records of the United States have been made to conform 10 that designation and no further change will be made by the board. In my opinion Congress has recognized Mount Rainier in its creation of a national park there and t would cause an endless amount ot work besides costing the govern. nent a great deal of money to change the name again"

The Canadian Pacific Railway is planning an Alaska display for va rious eastern exhibitions also fairs in the western part of Canada to be held this spring, summer and fall. This is the announcement re- cciveG today in Juneau from the publicity department of the railway, coming in a special advice from F.. F. W. Lowle, who cabled from SkaGway.
 The Canadian Pacific Railway plans to put the exhibit from Alas ka at Toronto, London and Ottawa and the big events held in those three cities and then ship the en- tire exhibit to the numerous fairs to be hcid in western Canada. The company will arrange for men to accompany ghs exhibitions, giving lectures and will transport the ex- hibis from place to place and a large sum of money has been appro- priated for this amount.
 The significance of this big fea- ture is plainly apparent to all Alas kans and will prove great incen- tive for travel and incidentally, perhaps, settlement in Alaska. As the collection of this exhibit will involve much time and expense it is understood that the Commercial organizations of the north will lend great assistance if they will help in the collection of Totem poles, Indian wares and photographs.
