HIS FIGHTING SPIRIT

But Schalk never quit. The young
ster fought and fought. He battled
every inch of the way: fought for de-
cisions at the plate and on the bases at
a time when it didn't seem to make
much difference whether they went the
Sox way or not He never felt that the
White Sox cause was a barren hope;
figured always that the series was not
over until the last man was out; that
someway, somehow, the break would
come for the Sox and that some miracle
could be wrought from then on to turn
seemingly certain defeat into victory.
When that break" did come in the
sixth inning of that sixth game-the
time when Weaver got double because
the ball rolled safely between AL
phonse" Duncan and Castor" Kopf-
Schalk rallied the Sox, pointed out that
here at last was the looked for oppor-
tunity. He infused them with much
of his own fighting spirit-with his be-
lief that the Sox weren't whipped yet
and they went on to win.
And it was the mace of this same
Ray Schalk, whirled in the great crisis
in the sixth inning of that game, that
sent the tying run acros the plate and
gave to the Sox the chance to annex
the game in the tenth.
SCHALK HAS NO EQUAL
Schalk has known few-if any equals

SPORTS
nv non McDAvID
BY JAMES j. CoRBETT.

Never was the value of Ray Schalh
demonstrated in more striking fashion
than in the world series of 1919. There
it was that the catching phenom OF the
White Sox gave display of mechanical
and brainy playing never before
eoualled: of fighting spirit that never
died, despite the drab and drear situa
ton that confronted the Sox after that
fourth inning of the sixth game.
The four beatings in the first five
combats took all the enthusiasm and
the battling ire from the hearts of the
Sox-took it from all but Schalk. The
team seemed demoralized-and Il
played like men in a daze. There was
no fire in their play; no force-nothinS
that was indicative Of team that once
had worlds championship dreams To
say that the Sox practically had given
up the fight-all but Schalk-is no mis-
statement of facts.

ADVISORY BOARD
 HELD MEETING
 10 SAVE POWER

A meeting of the Nenana Ad- visory Board was held at the office of the townsite manager last Sat urday evening.
 In the absence of the chairman of the board, M. J. Cooney, the purpose for which the meeting was called was stated by Townsite Man ager Carl Schmidt, which was to consider the matter of saving power in lighting the streets.
 The other members of the board, Messrs Rothenburg, Tyler, Davis and Joseph, were present.
 It was stated that on moonlight nights power was wasted, there be- ing many nights when no lights were needed. Further, the power plant had recently turned live steam into the water mains to insure them against freezing. This is done be- tween 1 and a. m., when the load is light, and will be at no additional cost to the townsite provided that the lights may be turned off during this time to equalize the expendi- ture of power.
 The board made the following to the townsite in the matter:
 Recommended that the street electric lights be turned off during bright moonlight, except that for approximately the next two months they should always be on from dark to II p. m., when many people are on the streets; and that they be turned off every night from 12:30 a. m, to a. m.

MtX|CANS HOARD
 COINS OF REALM

MEXICO CITY.--Infinite an noyance to every resident and an appreciable loss to business houses has resulted from the virtual dis appearance from circulation of sill yer coins. These comprise half peso pieces and those of twenty and ten centavos. The constantly increas- ing price of silver has given specu. lators chance to make enormous profits by cornering the silver coins for sale as bullion. When the shortage became noticeable, the cap ital press printed stories on the dis appearnce of the coins. An imme- diate rush to hoard what coins re- mained then began.
 Persons without change are un- able to make small purchases as many merchants will decline to sell if they are forced to give silver change for ten or twenty peso gold piece. The government, to relieve the situation, is rushing pre- parations to mint new gold coin worth two and half pesos.

RAILWAY BEING URGED
 STEWART TO RYDER

A railway from Stewart, B. c., to Hyder, Alaska, thence up Salmon river valley and back into the min era.izcd zone on the British side Of the line is being promulgated, says the Cassier News published at Stew art, B. c. It is understood that a charter will shortly be requested of the Canadian government and that private enterprise will build it with out any government guarantee, if there should be any diiculty in ob- ta;ning the backing of the govern ment.
 It is pointed out that large ton mage can be obtained immediately for such a railway, and in the course of few months the tonnage would be such as to assure the promoters that tie first cost of the line would be paid off in comparatively short time.
 Construction of this would have the result of increasing activity in the Salmon river district; the production of large tonnage and in bringing mill lions of dollars into British Columbia. Not only are tho ore bodies of the Salmon very large in extent, as al- ready proved by what development has taken place, but the values In silver and gold arc unusually high for such large leads as have been ex- posed

WYOMINCREADY TO GO DRY ON
 TUESDAY NEXT

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 27 (by Associated Press).-Wyoming long the oasis of this section of the west, will enter the ranks of prohibition states next Tuesday. Sale and manu- facture of liquor within the state will cease on that date regardless of whether national prohibition is ef- fective in the nation
 Under terms of the constitutional amendment adopted by the voters at last November's election, Wyoming would have gone dry January 1, 1920. When the legislature met last January however, it was deemed advisable to put the state law into effect July l, this year, at the same time that it ap- peared national war time prohibition would be effective. A law was passed by the legislature authorizing this
 In addition to the power placed by tre stae law in the hands of state prohibition commissioner, there will be a law enforcement league, privately financed and privately operated to en- force the new law. This league al- ready has begun the work of keeping Wyoming free of illegal manufacture and sale of liquor after July 1.
 State house gossip is that Fred l.. Crabbe now superintendent of the Wyoming Anti-Saloon League, will be chosen prohibition commissioner.
 Not only bootlegging but conner cial traffic in liquor must cease in ac- cordance with the wishes of the peo7 ple,' said MT. Crabbe in a statement to The Associated Press. "The voters gave the largest per capita dry ma iority of any state in the union and they are going to see that the law Will be enforced The law as passed by the legislature is one of the most drastic of it's kind"
 Saloons in Wyoming now pay a combined revenue of $500,000 for the privilege of operating. In the face of tie approaching "dry spell' breWerles are turning to other lines. Most or them will manufacture "soft' drinks

It is stated with authority that respectable citizens of the state who lay in mod 1 crate supply of liquor now for their own use after July 1 will not be mo- tested, but the authorities have an- nounced there will be eternal and vigi- lant warfare waged on the man who seeks to buy now and sell later

er this year, employing three in place
Of two instructors.
We are still short one or two teach
ers in the rural schools, but hope to
have all vacancies filled this week.
A notice received from the state de-
partment conveys the good news that
all the applications for special state
aid from this county have been APP
proved. :
Several frst-class certificates were
extended for one year in place of re-
newed on account of failure of appli-
cant to attend summer school. The
state now requires the completion of
three professional. credits earned at
state normal school for the renewal
of any frst-class certificate. These
credits are obtained by attending a
six weeks summer term.
We have received a number Of re-
quests from school officers for copies
of the school laws. The supply was
exhausted more than a year ago ard
repeated requests to the state DE-
partment has brought no results.
Last week we were advised that the
new edition is in the hands of the
printer and as soon as completed a
sufficient number of copies will be
sent us for all our schools.
The state department has changed
the date of the Mile Laos county
teachers institute. It will be held
the week beginning October 6 in place
of September as originally set. If
it is possible, school board planning
upon potato vacation, will take into
consideration the institute week, Oc-
tober 6-10, and thus avoid having two
vacations. We were advised in the
change Of dates last Monday.
