EXCURSION PROPOSED BY MCCARTHY MAN
 FOR CORDOVA FANS

An excursion to Mccarthy and ball game between the Mccarthy and Cor dova teams on September IF, is pro- ject that is being advocated by local fans at the instigation of J. B. O'Neil, of Mccarthy, who has been in Cordova on business the past week. MT. O'Neil indicated that the Mccarthy fans would be glad to play game with Cor dova, and to welcome an excursion of rooters to the mining town. The enterprise has met with favorable comment around town, the counter suggestion being made that the Me Carthy crowd come down to Cordova for the big meet which is being planned by the American Legion for Armistice Day. Arrangements are now being made for big celebration and indoor sports meet in Cordova at that time, and Cordova fans say it would add greatly to the success of the enterprise f an excursion from Mccarthy were arranged.

GAME PROMISED CARE
 BY HELP SPORTSMEN

Game Warden Hill left on this mornings train for Mccarthy, where he will be assigned for short per iod. For a month or two this section will be without the services of a game warden. In this connection, Senator Hill said, just before leaV- ing:
 q think the game situation in the vicinity of Cordova will not suf- fer in my absence, since, in the members of the Game Protective As sociation, I have more than one hundred able and enthusiastic as sistant wardens. I have been assured by the officers of the Association and many of the members that l would have the united and loyal support of the whole body.
 "The good results from the or ganization of the sportsmen of this locality into an association for the protection of game are already ap- parent. Many of the men who spent

the summer on the Copper River Flats fishing, and who were mem bers of the association, made it their personal business to see that the killing of waterfowl out of season was stopped. In fact, the spirit of sensible game conservation seemed to permeate the whole sction, and with very few exceptions everybody working on the flats this season showed a splendid spirit of coop eration.
 The boys stationed at the two radio stations have also given splen- did support to the game regulations. Living in the heart of the waterfowl breeding grounds, they have an op- portunity to render valiant service along this line, and they have showed willingness to do so."
 It is planned to hold a meeting of the Game Protective Association shortly to lay plans for the proper handling of game work during MT. Hills absence. Every member of the Association will be asked to act as a special game warden, and there is little danger but that the laws will be we'll enforced

 James Diffley, who has been spending his summer vacation at Gakona with his parents, arrived from the, interior on the local this afternoon and will leave on the Northwestern for Seattle where he will resume his school studies.
 The freighter Skagway is in port today unloading two hundred tons of coal for the Alaska Transfer Con- pany and a hundred and twenty five tons of general freight.
