 Immunity for Contractors
 Mir. Browne stated that there are a large number of contractors work ing along the right of way on the Nenana-Fairbanks line and that these men will probably be working at their different camps all winter long, completing the Fairbanks branch line. These men are, of course, entitled to immunity, and proper precautions will be taken immediately to safeguard them against possible infection.
 Browne Wires Anchorage
 MT. Browne sent the following message to Anchorage this morning, addressed to MT. Gerig, engineer in charge of that division: Please wire me frankly and fully influenza situation in Anchorage. Town of Nenana has established very strict quarantine against all outsiders, and guards are on Broad Pass trail to turn back everyone approaching. Please give this publicity through the press and otherwise" It is not known that the epidemic has made it's appearance at Anchorage, but to what extent it has affected the town is not known at present. Indian Village.
 Realizing to the fullest extent the grave danger to the town from contact with the Indian village, and the possibility of repetition of the horrifying conditions existing at Nome, in case of an outbreak, MT. Browne has notified the mission authorities that on the first evidence i of natives visiting the village from any part of the country, very 1 close cordon will be drawn and the mission and village isolated. The Indians, Mir Browne said, are al lowed in town now by the permis- sion of a lenient authority, which permission may be withdrawn at any time. A close watch will be main tained on the village and move ments of the Indians to and from the village will be carefully noted and the slightest contact with ar rivals from other districts, with possible chance of infection, will
 be considered sufficient cause for their isolation.
 Rev. Drane, who is in charge ot the mission, will be invited to ex'
 plain the gravity of the situation to the natives of the village and tel
 them of the danger, in the hope
 that they will of their own accord
 refrain from contact with natives
 from other encampments and there
 by make it unnecessary for theil isolation.

French Making
Ball Goods for
y. S. Army Men

Reports from various parts of Eu-
rope where American forces are sta
toned accent the steadily growing de-
mand and also shortage of sport
equipment. The loss of several large
consignments of athletic paraphernalia
while en- route abroad also has COM
pllcatcd the situation and led to some
unique foreign made substitutes.
English and French firms are en-
deavorng to supply the demand for
baseball outfits, using American goods
as models. Due to the scarcity of GER
tam materials, however, some of the
productions appear trifle unusual to
the overseas players. The emergency
has forced some United States soldiers
to look to French manufacturers for
their baseball goods and, as a result,
the first baseball glove in French his
tory has been produced.
The latest French creation is said
to be close copy of those of the great
American houses, with the exception
that the new glove has an innovation
between the thumb and forefnger. In
stead of having the thumb and fore
finger held together by soft leather
or webbing piece of cord answers the
purpose. There is also shortage in
baseball bats, and many Willows" have
been improvised from wagon tongues,
saplings and other sources

Rioti11g Follows
Unity-Audubon's
Serni-Pro Game

1t happened last Sunday afternoon at
Dyckman Field. The Audubons, of the
uppermost Washington Heights, and
the Unity team, of the fremont section,
were fighting it out before 500 fans in
the stands. Lefty Herschheld, the
pitcher who landed the metropolitan
district high school title for Evander
Childs this spring, was on the firing
line for the Bronx nine. Dave Good
man and Walter Simpson, St. Louis
Cardinal recruit, formed the Audubon
battery.
There was a side bet of goodly pro-
portions, the understanding being that
the side on the long end of the score
in the seventh inning should hold the
stakes to the finish. The seventh
opened with the score tied at %.
Unity Tailed twice in the first half on
dropped outfield fly: The Audubons
came back strong, Simpson and two
others singing in quick succession. The
fourth batter tapped to the Unity first
baseman. who threw high to the plate,
and the runner from third crossed while
the catcher was in the air bringing
down the ball The umpire called the
runner safe. Four to three, three on
and none out--and the roll slipping
from their grasp! The Unity men pro
tested the decision, refusing to con
tinue the game.
There followed a pell-mell riot, en-
tered into by several hundred rooters
for each club. The battling extended
all the way to the Dyckman Street sub
way station, up on to the platform, out
on to the tracks elevated at that point
and into a downtown train that carried
the participants out of the reach of
uprushing police reserves. At last re-
ports. Unity seemed to have most of
the money while the Audubons claimed
