baseball team. today nosed out a victory over the St. Paul team and won the deciding game in the nine game series for the championship of the minor leagues of America. The score was 2 to l.
 The fans were given as pretty an exhibition of the great national game as has ever been seen on the local diamond. Until the last man had been retired in the ninth the game was anybody's. The series proved to be a big drawing card and it will prob ah!y he made permanent. This was the first year that it has ever been tried out. It was a close, exciting series, Vernon got away to good start and won three out of the first four, but the Saints evened it up by taking two in succession. Vern- on won the seventh and St. Paul the eighth. With the series standing four all, Vernon took the deciding game today.

ATHLETES PROPOSE OR- GANIZATION OF SEVERAL TEAMS FOR INDOOR SPORT WILL TRY ARRANGE SEVERAL NENANA GAMES.

With the weather not prOpitiOus fol outdoor sports and games, the local athletes have decided to organize fol winter sports and will form a num- Der of basketball teams, according to an announcement made yesterday A meeting for this purpose will be held at the Pioneer hotel Sunday afternoon at o'clock at which Man. ager Chas. Beam, of the baseball team, will preside. In fact he will probably have the management of the basketball teams wished off on him after the manner in which he brot the baseball team thru losing season without any financial loss.
 MT. Beam stated yesterday that there is plenty of material in town for three and probably more first class basketball lives. From this ma terial, it iS believed that team can be selected that will be able to hold Ato OWA dSClAAoC dAy ICcSAA AA IAC HI terior.
 With the early connection of Ne mana and Fairbanks by rail assured, it is practically certain that several series of games can be arranged dur ing the winter season and furnish the local fans with plenty of excite ment during the long dark nights before baseball again is possible.
 Among the boys attending the high school there is some promising ma terial for a five. The signal corps bunch will probably have two or three men who can take care of themselves on any old floor and be of valuable assistance on a team. Among the local athletes are several men who have had considerable ex- perience in previous years and can be counted on to turn out. All of these are asked to be present at the Pioneer hotel Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock when plans will be laid for the season.

the air was in readiness for the voy- age when the cessation of hostilities was declared.
 According to an announcement made here today, there is a strong probability that the big airship will make its proposed voyage. But in- stead of being manned by Germans and carrying cargo of bombs for killing Americans and destroying American property it will be under Yankee crew and will come as an American craft. The Zeppelin is ex- pected to start for America in a short time.

 BUSHELS TO ACRE.

P. J. Rickert yesterday finished his threshing and reports that off of six acres of wheat he obtained four tons of threshed wheat.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. O.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. oo4
 Secretary of Labor, w. B. Wilson. admitted tonight that his effort to act as mediator in the bituminous coal miners dispute has resulted in total failure. After an all day con- ference between MT. Wilson. Presi- dent Lewis, of the United Mine Workers and President Brewster, of the Operators association, all efforts to arbitrate the difference broke down and the conference was ended without having changed the situation in the slightest.
 Secretary Wilson announced how ever, that he has not abandoned hope of averting the threatened strike of the workers in the central bituminous fields. He has asked a meeting of the full wage scale committee of the workers to be held in this city next Tuesday. His request was granted by the miners and he hopes to make some arrangement where the strike may be prevented. In the meantime the unions are continuing their preparations for complete tie-up of the industry in the central field The operators admit that the pro- posed strike will paralyze all the mines and probably create a serious coal shortage in many centers of pop ulation.
 OPERATORS JOIN
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-R)-The coal operators officially announced tonight that the association had agreed to meet with the full wage scale committee in conference with Secretary of Labor Wilson next Tues day in a final effort to prevent the coal strike. However, the operators remain firm in their decision not to negotiate with the workers over their demand for six-hour day and de- clare that they will not deal with the unions in any manner unless the proposed strike is called off.
