Terminal Railroad Y. 81. G. A. In
order to insure their getting into
the struggles.
At the present writing IL appears
as though eight leagues would be in
action. While some of the circuits
have quite a way to go before the
season Is over, II is intimated that
they will hurry their schedules along
In the effort TO pick a league rep

Terminal Knights OF Columbus and
Bankers will probably have teams In

Tomorrow at o'clock the biggest
afternoon in sand-lot circles will find
the Knickerbockers dragging most OF
the inhabitants of Georgetown ovei
to the northeast at Union Park 10
watch the Knicks tackle the Rex

Brooklyn Dodgers Fast Ball Twirler
Has Sixteen Victories

Burleigh Grimes, the Brooklyn

all mound men in John Heydler's cir

defeats, averaging 1927. Following

PLAYERS ARE BUMPED.

BOSTON, Aug. 7-"Rabbit" Maran-
vile, the Braves shortstop, and Lew
McCarty, the Cardinals catcher, are
today recovering from an accident
received yesterday when, to escape a
collision. Maranvllle ran his motor
car into a tree. Msranville was cut
about the head, but McCarty injured
his back, necessitating an x-ray cx-
ami ination today.

and the drives usually sail OUT.
The Griffmen and Browns were
mixed up in a swatting matinee yes
terday, completely opposite to the
pretty 2-to-1 affair of the day before.
The Griffs lost. IA to 7, because the
Browns had fourteen hits, one coming
with a full house. The visitors did
some swatting for themselves. espe-
cially Joe Judge, who hit into the
right field seats twice.
"They asked for hitting" was the
way griffith described it today, land
they are gettin it. With many
large scores this season i have heard
many of the magnates and managers
say that they're willing to go back to
the close games, the tight and inter
esting battles, and allow the pitchers
to use anything. How far this sug-
gestion will advance this winter I do
not Know"
GRIFFS NEED HITTERS.
The Griffs have to hold the other
fellow to a short score to have look
in They do not possess the batters OF
the Ruth. Speaker. Sisier, Pipp type.
When the pitching collapses the
Griffs have to sit on the bench and
wait for the next game. One will ar
rive today here and the series will
close tomorrow.
Although the washingtonians have
been pushed out of the first division,
they are not so far back as that they
cannot return to the big four and vic
tories in the remaining games Of the
series will push them ahead OF the
Browns once more
Griffith is going to give the Browns
all he has to get fourth place this
year. 1t looks as il these two teams
win 20 down the stretch neck and
neck for the place. The Indians,
Yanlos and White Sox are too far in
front to be caught, and the Red Sox
promise to drift back with the Tigers
and Athletics for the Booby prize.

HUNTER IS IN TROUBLE.
Herbert Hunter. an outfielder be-
longing to the Boston Red Sox, Is in
trouble. Purchased by the Red Sox
from the San Francisco club, he re-
ported and soon was suffering from
blood poisoning in the right hand
from an injury received while play
ing for Ed Barrow. He was out of
the game for a month
ne was sent TO indianapolis, the
latter agreeing to buy him after two
weeks, IL he made good. Indianapolis
was out of the race and, though ad.
mitting he made good, declined to pay
Boston's price. He was sent back to
Boston.
Arriving in Boston. Hunter was in
formed that his salary was to be
cut because of his illness and also
because he was merely bench
warmer. This was too much for
Hunter, and he told Barrow som.
pointed things, among others that he
was injured while playing for the
Red Sox and that he was not a bench
warmer from choice.
Now Hunter, who was once with
tho Giants. is working out with Nc
dsyws team at the Polo Grounds. He
has turned down several offers from
independent teams, believing that his
case will eventually be Strengthened
out to his entire satisfaction He has
appealed to the National Commission
and wants to get away from Barrow
and the Red Sox.

 MEMORIAL DRIVE

Residents of Nenana and the Ne mana district are to be given the opportunity to become members of the Roosevelt Memorial association, which was organized in New York city last March for the purpose of raising the sum of ten million dol lars to erect a monument to Theo- dore Roosevelt in Washington, D. C.. and create a park at Oyster Bay. to be preserved like Mount Vernon and the Lincoln homestead. The association is non-partisan and non-political.
 4 campaign for funds was con- ducted in the States during the last week in October and a large sum was contributed by many thousands of contributors; but the movement was delayed in Alaska owing to the non-arrival of literature and inabili- ty to perfect the Alaska organiza- ton. These details have been ar ranged now, however, and subscrip- tions are being received in all sec tions of the Territory, the Nenana drive having been launched under the direction of Dr. R. R. Myers, who was recently appointed com munity chairman by Divisional Chairman Thomas 4. Marquam. George C. Hazelet of Cordova IS chairman for Alaska. -~
 Dr. Myers has placed receipts al a number of places in Nenana-at The Portland, The Terminal. Chez zi's. Thompson's drug store, and The News office - where contributions may be made. And he points out that this is an opportunity to show appreciation of a real man-a man who always had the courage of his convictions-a man whose Ameri- canism was never questioned. ~...

 FIRE IS A MYSTERY

The Fairbanks Natatorium, on Front street, several doors north os :he Cilsey house, was wrecked by fire last night, little remaining cf the structure today except the sheet iron covering, which enclosed the entire building and which undoubt- edly prevented the flames from spreading 70 nearby buildings.
 The fire was discovered about ten o'clock, after it had made consider able headway, and by the time the department arrived on the scene the interior woodwork was a seething mass of flames.
 The origin of the fire is a mys- tery. The building had been unoc- cupied for a considerable time, hav- ing been closed for the winter some time ago. The only theory ad- vanced is that the fire got its start from the electric wires.
 The building was owned by Gus Vedin, who is now enroute to Me Neils island to serve two years on a perjury charge.
