st. Mary's. Fl; Baker, z.

st. Mary's college defeated Baker
university Friday afternoon on the
Saints\field, 81 to Z. The Methodists
scored first when Laureson, the Baker
left end, recovered a pass and raced
fo-'ty-five yards for a touchdown. After
making this score the visitors seemed
to lose their punch and the old over
confidence which is always so fatal
to q teams chances came on, and the
Saints began to fight like only a ST.
Marys team can, and after a success
sion of brilliant off tackle plays and
a forward pass from Lane to Kelly
over the goal line, the score was tied
by the O'Rourke proteges. In the
third quarter the Blue and White
squad outplayed the Baker gang, but
were unable to score. In the fourth
quarter the visitors were again out
played by the Catholics, and Lane did
wonderful work for the Saints in spite
of an injured leg. which would have
kept most players on the sidelines. A
long forward pass gave st. Mafy's an
other touchdown and put the game
on ice.
The last touchdown of the after
Moons frolic was made when the Baker
center passes over Green's head. The
Baker kicker trying to recover the
ball behind his own goal fumbled and
a Saint end fell on the ball for
touchdown. Baker made only five
first downs while the Saints made
fourteen. The largest crowd that ever
witnessed a game at ST. Mary's was
on hand to pull for Coach O'Rourke's
fighters, who more than lived up to
their name. The wonderful work of
Captain Boland and-the dashing Lane,
coupled with the fine work of the ends
in getting forward passes, makes st.
Marys a dangerous contender for the
Kansas conference championship.

X. U. VS.. Oklahoma.

Kansas university will have a tough
opponent today when they meet Okla
homa university at Norman. This
game will in all probability decide
the Missouri Valley championship,
since these are the only. two unde-
feated teams in the valley. Oklahoma
has the edge on comparative scores
but Kansas has the best team that
has represented the Lawrence school
in years and the 1920 Jayhawkers
have developed some wonderful open
play formations which may bother the
Sooners considerably. Davis and
White are the stars of the Oklahoma
team while Lonberg and Vaudeville
are the best bets Coach Allen has to
put forth. The change of climate
may bother the Crimson and Blue
team but it looks like a toss up with
the team that gets the old breaks
finishing IN front.

AMERICAN SHIPPING

The wondrous achievements of the Unlted states since the inauguration of President Wilson will be better appreciated few years hence than at the present time. The greatest of them will be deter mined in the years that are to come At the present writing it would that the production of an army of more than 4,000, 900 men and the transpor- taton of half of them to Europe where they turned the balance against Germany the banking and cur rency law and the creation of a merchant marine were the most gigantic in their proportions and far reaching in their consequences.
 The speech delivered by Secretary of Commerce Alexander before the National Marine League Expo sition at New York April 12 showed change in the condition of American shipping since 1914 that is startling In the six years, the total Amer 500 OO0 within 3,OOO,OOO of the present British tonnage
 The growth of American merchant shipping, of its participation in the worlds trade and of the shipbuildng industry in the United States since the outbreak of the World War has been one of the maryels commercial and industrial history We have always had large and creditable tonnage in the coasting trade and in the early period of our participation in the this tonnage invaluable first movements of troops overseas In the trades of the world, however, ships in 1914 and for years had taken but slight share

Wick and HaZelet

 Because George C. HaZelet candidate for Dele gate to the Republican National Convention at Chi cago refused to endorse a line of steamers from Seattle Seward furnish exclusive tonnage for the government railroad, James Wckersham, the ire pressble is in letter to the public asking that he be defeated and that Valentine, Reed and Her be supported. We believe that MT. Hazelet Xx- sentiment of the people of Alaska when he disapproVe of the Shipping Board plan Such ac- tion would do to kill the balance of the Terri tory by driving off the steamers in service, than any other one thing. These vessels must depend up the trade from the railway to give efficient and continuous service and if this is taken away from them 1t will that the number of vessels now plying to Alaska will be materially reduced. Mr. Wckersham is not in touch with the people of Alas ka has he been for several years back.

Something About Eagles
ValdeZ Miner)

The American Museum of National History has started a campaign against Alaskan legislation of ferng bounties for killing of eagles, stating that the bird is doomed to extinction. The museum officials also say that the eagle is not destructive game, and reports of these birds killing game is greatly exaggerated. Which reads good to Alaskan who has these predatory birds hanging about flocks of sheep picking off the lambs, and have them chasing flocks of ptarmigan picking off the strag- glers. The eagle is to the rest of the ami nal kingdom and the sooner it is extermnated the better off the game will be.

WORLDS TONNAGE (gross tons)
49,089,552

Since June 30. 1919, British Shipping has in- creased approximately 100000 tons. while American shipping at the present time is approx- mately 15,800,000. When the German tonnage is finally distributed according the treaty will be reduced to less than 700.000 gross eoasting trade, ships while the total under Allied flags will be proportIonately increased
 In 1914, the American tonnage registered for the March, l92e t has increased 9200,0OO. Commenting on this growth MT. Alexander said
 The increase in gross tonnage would be of little significance if the ships lay idle the docks anchored in harbors here abroad Merchant ships are valuable the instruments of commerce, and their voyages rather than their gross tonnage (entire bical capacity, including engines boilers machinery bunker coal, etc.) are the real evidence of their usefulness the ccun- try The clearance of American ships in overseas trades, is the record their ac- tvity and is expressed net tons (the space available to carry cargo passen- gers.)
 American shipping in the trade of the United States last year thus near ly S.OO0,00O net tons greater than in the IF months before the war, eleven fold increase greater in fact than the gross tonnage increase the register. Foreign shipping. in these trades 1000 900 net tons less than in 1914 when 4, 100000 net tons of German shipping thus em- ployed.
