McCRORY IS WINNER
 OVER GREGORY TEAM

The McCrory Base Ball Club went to Gregory yesterday, Thursday, afternoon where they defeated the Gregory nine five to four.
 For eight long innings it looked as if our boys would not cross the home plate, but they got busy in the ninth and ran in five scores, just one more than the opposing team made during the first inning.
 Gregory almost took the game in the ninth. There were two outs and the bases full and B. Watkins faced the McCrory hurler hoping to send the ball far into the field and thereby bring in the winning scores. Meadows laid down a nice one which Watkins met with his stick sending the ball over a building in deep left center for what everyone thought was a homer and which would have added four scores to the four Gregory had made in the first inning, but Wilson the McCrory centerfelder, got under the horsehide by making a long run and to the happy surprise of his mates and the displeasure of the Gregory team and their crowd of en- thusiastic fans, the lad came marching in with the ball in his hand. Following is the line up and score by innings:

JUDGE ELMER E. RITCHIE

In the appointment of Attorney Elmer E. Ritchie of Valdez, as the judge of the Third division of Alaska, President Harding named d worthy successor to Judge Fred NJ. Brown, who has occupied the bench for the past eight years NIr. Richc is possessed of exception ally fine legal attachments, is a man of sterI- ing worth and ability and in every sense an Al askan No better selection could have been made by the administration and one which Is most pleasing to the residents of this division. He was the almost unanimous choice of the people for this office, regardless of party at- fiIations, and it is indeed gratifying to know that this honor was bestowed upon him at the earnest solicitation of his many friends.
 AIr. Ruchr was in ro sense candidate for any political rrclcrmcnt, notwithstanding the fact tItat he has always been one of the leaders of the Republican party in the territory.
 The Daily Times conSratuatcs President Harding upon his wise selection and if all the other federal appointments in this division ar" mon of, the same high standard as Mr. RtchIe there will be little cause for complaint as to the administration of justice.

ALAsKA'.3 SOLID FOUNDATION

Thanks to the bureau of internal revenue the people forced to i've in the states know just how Alaskans stand financially with Bradstrcct.
 Dunn and Uncle Sam; the people of this terri tory have always known their present wealth
 and the future possibilities of still greater sue cess. With every days press dispatches come accounts of business failures; reduction in wa ges and curtaihaent of both expenses and op- erations in the larger corporations. Readiust- ment is slow i'll the states, but not so in Alaska the muchly- governed Alaskans easily and qucky resumed pre-war habits and decreased majestically from the inflated conditions, which Apparently have caused cOnsternation in com munities less favored.
 While failures in the states are frequently reported there s no evidence of financial string Iency in Alaska. uring the interim of re Iadpjustment not one single failure, of moment
 has been report, from the last territory The contrary is true, as evidenced from the last statement made by the territorial banks to the comptroller of the currency, which showed a marked increase in banking resources.
 And while we are on the subject of banking 1t might be well to answer the question so ire qucntly asked In case of banking failure what does the q positor get?" The answer de bends upon the intrinsic value of the bank s assets, plus the financial conditions of its stock
 holders. The books of every bank in the daily report show ass Is in the shape of Iaons, bonds, warrants, realty, cash on hand, etc, sufficient to cover all liabilities. The difference between the true Value md the book value of these as sets frequently cause bank failures. In ease of failure to rcaI," on loans and other assets to the par value tIe difference is made up, by the stockholders.
 Alaska is fortunate in having what is known as the "stocihuIdors' double Iiabiity," which
 in plain Emgli.h means that each and every stockholders is liable, by law, for the amount paid for the ~to,k k originally and also am amount equal to the pa value of the stock at time of
 failure. The tate of Washington k blessed with the same .ow and but recently the stock,
 holders in the dcruuct Scaudonaviar- American bank of Seattle were assessed 100 cents on the dollar and later were compelled to stand an other 100 per cent assessment under the double liability law
 The financial worth of the stockholders k the dcpositors' guarantee for safety, as the ter. rtoraI law governing the stockholders double liability is writ in large letters on the statute books. The territorial banks of Alaska are as @oicd as the Rock of GabraItar. - Anchorage Times.

Emporia, Kan, May 20.-Track
records of the Kansas Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference-colleges, univer-

other than the Kansas State Agricul-

in the balance today. Two hundred
college athletes from the conference
schools are here to engage in the an
nual conference two-day track meet.
Southwestern won the cup last year,
and is considered a strong contender
to repeat the performance. Track
teams generally have put in buster
seasons this year than ever before and
the competition will be exceptionally
keen, officials anticipate. A week ago
the Emporia State normal school de-
feated the Pittsburg normal team
10 20 to 5715, and Washburn won the
quadrangular meet with Ottawa, Col
lege of Emporia and Baker university,
receiving 81; Baker, As; Ottawa, 81 /;
Emporia, 81.
These scores and the fact that the
Pittsburg Normals recently defeated
the Southwesterners while in turn
Southwestern defeated Paramount, 100

and the Emporia Normal have flatter

meets, and today's showing probably
will revise the present official state
