MANY ARRIVALS
 FROM KAN1|SHNA

J. M. Burrows, who has been :
 prospecting in the quartz belt in :
 the foothills of the Mt. Mckinley range, in the neighborhood of the :
 headwaters fthe Toklat and about :
 fifty miles above Knights road E house, arrived in Nenana last night
 last night to replenish his supplies and expects to return to his camp , in the hills on Thursday. He left his camp on the morning of the 18th : with his dog team and reports E fairly good trail. Most of his way 2 lay on the Toklat river, which he says is one huge glacier, owing to the many overflows. Mike Lodi, who IS Burrows partner, remained in camp to continue the work. E The section of the country in E which Burrows and Lodi are work E ing is within the boundaries of the Mt. Mckinley National Park, and although this particular part of the country is not considered caribou country, he says that he never saw E as many caribou anywhere else in E the North; mountain sheep are also said to be very plentiful. E
 Charles Trundy, who is pros- E pecting on Glenn creek, a tributary E of Moose creek, arrived last night E for the purpose of getting more E supplies and to have some dental work done. He expects to get away 2 again in a few days He says that there are about twenty-five or thirty 2 men in the district now engaged 2 in prospecting and doing develop ment work. There would have been great many more men had con- : ditions been better. The great diff 2 cutly in getting grub into the coun- . try, where practically no trails exist : has held back the development of the known rich mineral resources of the district, and will continue to do so until roads have been built : and the prospectors get fair show 2 to get supplies. E William Sborgia, who is working on Gleen creek on above dis covery and about one and one-half 2 miles below Charles Trundy's claims, 2 arrived in town for the winter and z expects to go back before the trails = break up. He left Glen creek on E the 18th and stopped day at the ,:

 creek on his way down. 2 On Crooked creek, a tributary of the Toklat, he met H. Carlson, who 2 was on his way into his camp from 2 Nenana. Carlson told him that he E had frozen the big toe of his right E foot the previous night, and that it . was giving him some trouble, but . he thought it would be all right E in a few days. Carlson was limp = ing badly when Sborgia met him. 2
 Sborgia has found good pay on 2 his claims and, working from the E fifth to the twenty-fifth of last E September on this ground, he took . out about $11O0. =

BRIGHT FUTURE FOR SPORTS
President PiII<ington Of Amateur Oars.
men Talks Of Athletics After
End of War.

Jim Pilkington, president of the Ma
tional Association Of Amateur Oars
men, sees brilliant prospect for all
athletic sports when peace Is declared.
Pilkington, whose active association
with the governing body in rowing
goes back to 1876-within a decade Of
the end Of the Civil war-believes that
conditions following the great war will
be much the same as those which were
experienced here in the reconstruction
period.
''The Civil war, or rather the ending
Of it, gave sport it's impetus in this
country" said Jim.
Because Uncle Sam is practically
making athletics compulsory in the
land and naval forces, hundreds and
thousands Of young men who never
before engaged in sport have become
active and enthusiastic athletes. 1t is
easy to see what the result will be
when the war ends"

The death of Charley Mitchell, for
mer middleweight champion Of Eng
land, adds one more name to deaths
recent toll Of ring celebrities. Nit
chell started professional fighting
when he was in his teens and rapidly
rose to be champion of England. In
1883 he was brought to America to
meet John L. Sullivan, and he was the
first man to knock that famous war
rior down. Their bout at Madison
Square Garden was stopped by the
police in the third round. In 1888
they fought famous 39-round battle
to a draw in Chantilly, France. Five
years later Mitchell was knocked out
by Corbett in three rounds. Mitchell,
whose photograph is shown herewith,
made frequent trips to the United
States and was long picturesque fig
ure in the sporting worlds on both
sides of the Atlantic.
These are the men who died within
the last year: ' ...

MOGULS LACKING IN
ENTHUSIASM IN WAR
Captain Huston Raps Owners Of
Major League Clubs.
Baseball Paying Too Much Attention
to Dollars and cents-It Was =
Boss of Yankees Who Suggest
ed Drilling Of Players.

Capt. T. L. Huston's scathing ar
raignment Of big league baseball men
for what he calls q lack Of interest to
the proper extent in the war, may be
traced, to a large extent, to the state
ment given out by Captain Huston,
almost year ago.
At that time Captain Huston was in
training camp near Detroit, Mich, he
hammered the interview out on small
typewriter while he sat on camp
stool In q tent.
1t was the part owner Of the Yam
KEGS who suggested the idea of drill
ing American league ball players,
which was gobbled up by Ban john
son, president Of the league, so quick.
ly that Ban was given the publicity
that went with it, The fact that Cap
tain Huston was the originator was
lost sight of in the praise for Johnson.
Seeing into the future, and outlin-
ing forthcoming difficulties for base
ball, Captain Huston suggested in this
statement that drilling be prolonged
In the American league by having the
accomplished men in the clubs drill
companies of fans who would act as
sort Of home guard in case of need.
In this manner, Captain Huston point
ed out, there would be some good from
the drills so patriotically paraded be-
fore the fans last summer.
Instead of taking up Captain Hus-
toms suggestion Johnson and his col
leagues ignored it to such an extent
that 1t has now been dropped from
the league. There will be no drilling
ut all this summer in the American
league. Captain Huston's missionary
work in the American league has gone
for naught, which may account for
some of the bitterness his letter from
the land Of fire and birthstone carries.
Captain Huston points out a grave
and fOrceful fact: That baseball Is
paying too much attention to the dol
lars and cents of business, rather than
to the business Of exerting everything
in the interest of the war. The Amer
ican public is patiently standing for it,
but whether it will continue to do SO
is qustioon. The action Of the mag
mates in raising admission fees above
the cost Of the war tax will not serve
to make the public more patient.

Evers may lose his throwing arm

say "be easy" Is not his motto by any
means. -
The veteran outfielder, Al Schweitz-
er, last year with Rochester in the In
ternational, has joined Joe Tinker's
Columbus team.
While the American association will
have no set rule on 1t, the opinion
seems to be that practically all clubs
will start games late this season.
