Jewel Guard encountered the ice but
 found an open lead and experienced
 practically no difficulties in reaching
 the island which lies approximately
 125 miles southwest of Nome. The schooner was three days passing
 through the ice field. which is reported land heavy this year. After reaching
 Northeast Cape, the easternmost ex- tremity of the island, the Jewel Guard sailed entirely around the island in search of trade. F'elkel states that his hope of beating the Herman to the is- plated island was futile. as the out side trader was on hand when the Jewel Guard arrived The Herman's
 master told Felkel that he had found
 the ice conditions unusually severe this spring. He encountered the pack some distance north of the Aleutian's but could find no opening by which to reach St Lawrence until he had cruis- 
 ed to the vicinity of the kamchatka coast. The ice was practically solid lall the way and an unusual number Of large bergs were noticed. After prac- tcally crossing Bering Sea the Her
 man managed to work her way into the pack and reached the island. MT. E'elkel says the islanders escaped the | influenza and health conditions re- mained normal in every way during ithe winter. After circumnavigating lthe island, the Jewel Guard returned to Northeast Cape and skirted along
 the lower edge of the ice pack to the Yukon flats, from whence her course
 was directed to St. Michael. Accord- ing to Mir. Felked the ice was very dense along the entire distance from St. Lawrence to a point close to the Yukon delta. On arriving at St. Michael it was found that the bay was l full of broken ice and some difficulty

The plans have not yet reached mature stage. how ever. and no definite steps have yet been taken. The next day or two will probably see the proposal assume de- finite shape. as it is realized that there is little prospect of getting the mail before several weeks have passed un- less something is done locally.

Destruction of q majority of the Nome and Cape W'ooley is contemplat ed by the Bureau of Education as q means of preventing them from be- coming q possible source of danger to the public health. Most of the cab-
 ns are empty since the epidemic swept away their former inhabitants. As many are in filthy condition and contain wide possibilities as potential future spreaders of disease. they will be burned or torn down down in the near future Some of the cabins are said to be in such q state as to make them veritable pest houses. The work of destruction will be commenced as soon as the sanitary work in the nat i've shacks here is completed.
 The Bureau also contemplates dis couraging native travel along tho coast as far as possible during the summer because of the danger that natives from the districts outside of the zone infected by the influenza
 last winter may contract the dis ease if they come into contact with the natives or whites of the infected district. Acting Superintendent Dyfed Evans is sending out instructions to the government school teachers at various native settlements along the northern coast to discourage native travel and to prevent as far as pos- sble the natives coming into contact with those of the district infected last winter. All possible effort will be made to prevent the disease spreading to the northern districts. Mir Evans states however, that 1t will be practice |ally impossible to prevent the natives coming in touch with possible sources of infection unless the whites who travel along the coast cooperate in the effort to safeguard them as far as possible.

TENNIS CR0WDING OUT GOLF
Net Game Is Enjoying Vast New Birth
Of Popularity at Wimbledon Court
in England.

The Westminster Gazette notices
that lawn tennis, even more than golf,
Is enjoying a vast new birth of popu-
larity In England.
'The attendance at Wimbledon each
day, the cosmopolitan character of the
entries and the enthusiasm showEAfor
the finer points of the game all show
the hold that tennis has obtained the
world over England gave the game
birth, but for the time being she has
failed to produce any new body of
great players.
"The English representation at VIM
bledon labors under the disabilities of
age, and there is little sign as yet of
the new generation which waits to fiji
the shoes of the elders. 1t is common
ly alleged that the English youth lacks
the dash which gives crispness and
force to the strokes of the Americans
and the colonials.
Probably the true reason is that
England has dearth of hard courts
or Of grass courts on which the bound
Of the ball Is true. The stroke that
takes all chances is only learned when
a man can feel certain what the hall
will do when 1t has struck the surface
Of the ground"

league player in his prime to play foot
ball. Thorpe is an exception. He is a
second Achilles, in the matter of in
jury, and has never known what it Is
to get hurt in the game.
There are several major league ball
players who have starred on the grid
iron. Thorpe's prowess as a football
player is well known and he needs lit
tie Introduction. While playing with
the Carlisle Indian school he starred
in every game.
Leslie Mann is a football player Of
no little ability. While he was star
ring at the Springfield Training school
he established big reputation and
was chosen by many critics for the
All-American team in his time.
Mann played halfback and was an
exceptional punter. He could average
nearly 80 yards and often his kicks
carried for distance of go yards and
more before hitting the soil. AS
broken-feld runner he was one of the
greatest. He was especially brilliant
in running back kick-offs or punts and
once started was hard man to down.
Eddie Collins has also been ranked
by experts as among the best football
players. Collins starred in the quar-
terback position at Columbia several
years back.
One of the best football players
among big leaguers who never attend
ed college, but who would surely have
been star in the university world had
he done so, is rabbit" Maranville, the
peppery little shortstop of the Braves.
The gobs of the U. S. S. Pennsylvan-
la will bear witness to the Rabbits
ability on the gridiron. The Boston
star virtually won them the champion
ship while a member of that crew last
season. Maranville is best at running
with the ball. He is so nimble, so
shifty and quick that he slides through
the opposing team like an eel.
Manager McGraw recently procured
one of the best football players of re-
cent years in Frank Frisch. Frisch.
who starred on the football team as
well as on the baseball nine at Ford
ham, is equally at home on the dia-
mond or football field.
Dave Robertson, the Cub outfielder;
Heathcote of the st. Louis Nationals
and George Halas, the young outfielder
who was with the Yankees early in the
season, are all football players Of ex-
ability.

MOST RUNNERS FAIL
TO TRAIN PROPERLY
Fault Is Typical of Great Many
Track Athletes.
Majority Of Sprinters Do Little or No
Work Outside of Days on Which
They compete-FaiI to Build
Themselves Up.

Only a few days ago the remark
was made to a prominent athlete that
his trouble was that he never did any
training except when he was on the
track, and that that fault was not con-
nned to him alone, but was typical of
a great many If not most track ath-
letes.
ne trouble with most of you rum
ners OF today is" said this critic, "that
you never do any training at all until
you come out to run a race. The meth
cd that seems to have won approval
OF most Of you calls for entering as
many races as you possibly can in the
course Of the season and letting the
running you get in those races stand
as a substitute for good, hard, per-
sistent training"
In many respects this criticism APP
pears to be well founded if the per-
formances of many of the best athletes
can be taken as a basis upon which
to pass judgment. Instead of building
themselves up by course of systemat-
ic training. middle-distance runners.
for example, enter everything from a
3OO-yard sprint to a two-mile race in
preparation for 900 or a 1,OOO-yard
race two months hence. They do little
training in between and once or may
be twice week they run their heads
off, at a distance either too long or too
short for their special powers.
A man who has received his early
training under a competent school or
college coach rarely if ever trains In
such haphazard way. He has been
bred into the way of preparing himself
for a given contest by a series of ex-
ercises leading directly up to the event
In question. Just for the sake of get
ting some competition he may run a
race at distance as a sort of tryout
a week before the contest toward
which he is aiming, but he never thinks
of entering everything that comes
along, satisfying himself that the run
ming he does in that way is the kind
of training he neeEj.

ICE PICK WAS OVERLOOKED
Trainer of Cincinnati Reds Fearful
That Attempt Would Be Made to
Dope Players.

Fearful that an attempt would be
made to dope the Reds and thus pre-
vent them from beating the Giants in
the recent series in New York, the
Cincinnati club, through its agent in
New York, supplied the drinking wa
ter, ice and towels used by the visit

spurned by the Reds trainer when he
offered to provide the water and Ice.
However, the representative of the
Cincinnati club had neglected to pro-
vide an ice pick, so the visitors train
er appealed to the Giants ground keep
er just before the first game was called
to lend him a pick.
The request aroused Henry's ire, and
after consigning the Reds and their
trainer and every one connected with
them to a region where ice picks are
not generally in demand he added:
