 Marse Russ Hall. of Tacoma, maintained his reputation as a de- veloper of big league material by sending two up, namely: Pete Flagstead, who went to the Detroit Tigers. and Herman Pillett. who was sold to Cincinnati. Both of these players were sold outright, with no options or strings. to har- ass and worry the Tacoma baseball magnate.
 Seven Northwesterners were sold to the majors this year. Bob Brown sent "Lefy" Russell and Bill Hamilton up. Hall disposed of Flag stead and Pillett. while two Spo- kane players.

 The question is not altogether a one sided affair. and the producer has all so erred in many cases.

Juneau Mans Sister to Be a Movie Star.

Anna Case. American soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, is to en- ter motion pictures for a limited per- iod under the direction of Julius Steg- CT. by whom the prma donna's photo- play will be produced.
 Miss Cases first picture will be be- gun in February next. immediately af- ter she completes her concert engage ments for which she has been booked for some time. The story will relate the struggle against great odds of a poor. but gifted American girl. who rises to position of dominance in a great opera company.
 Miss Case. before she would consent to sign contract. insisted upon a series of exhaustive camera tests to asuure herself that she would make no mistake to enter the new field. These tests not only satisfied Miss Case. but also confirmed the belief that as picture personality the prima donna possesses excellent qualifications.
 Miss Case Is a sister of w. H. Case of this city, and was in Alaska several years ago. At that time she appeared here in a delightful concert.

 Three nights in camp, real army tent and all that goes with it.. We are out at Camp Tanforan, about nine miles from San Francis co and I like it; my great hope now is that I will stay with this outfit but that is something that depends entirely on the Department Surgeon.

Kyne who always has something in the Saturday Eve ming Post, They call them ''The Princess Pats of the United States T The history of the regiment is, briefly, this: About two years ago few wealthy and prominent men here in San Francisco organized a company of cavalry; when war was declared they offered themselves to the War Department. They were told that cavalry was not needed in this war so they disbanded and started a regiment of Field Artil- lery, with the understanding that they would be accepted intact as an organization. About a dozen 1 men financed the affair. Henry Crocker alone giving $50,0O0 in one check. This is what Roosevelt tried to do and was turned down. but the Grizzlies" were not, and art now being taken over by the War Department in a body.
 We expect to leave here in about two weeks for San Diego, Calif. where we will remain about two months and if the Germans are not licked by then. why we will finish them. When l say We" l mean the Regiment. am not sure will remain with them but have been told would, and am hoping that I will
