 OUT PARTNERS
 SHARE IN CLUB
Expects to Acquire Sole Own ership of New York Tanks;
 Trade Also in View

NEW YORK, Dec 12.-Develop- 'ments connected with the major league baseball seasons today cen tered prominently around the affairs of the New York Yankees. American league champions.
 Colonel Jacob Ruppert's formal an nouncement that he expected within week to acquire sole ownership of the club by purchase, for a re- ported consideration of $1,50O, GOO, the half interest of Colonel T. l.. Huston, was followed by authori- -tative reports that the Yankees had closed a deal with the White Sox to trade Aaron Ward, Bob Meusel and pitcher to the westerners for Eddie Collins, veteran second sacker and Dick Kerr, south paw pitcher. It was said that official announce ment of the trade which has been GImored in diamond circles for some time, would be made at tomorrow's opening session of the American league club owners.
 The only possibility of a hitch in the deal, as outlined, senters around Kerr, who failed to report to the White Sox last spring and must se- cure reinstatement from Commits sioner Landis before being permitted played second base and Meusel in the outfield for the Yankees last season.
 Colonel Ruppert's announcement as to the ownership of the club, fol- lowed his partners statement last night that he was negotiating for the sale of his interests in order to take a rest"
 Colonel Ruppert would reveal no details of the financial agreement made with his partner, but did not deny that the club, including the new Yankee stadium possessed a val ue in the neighborhood of S3,000,00 He added that several weeks. ago an offer for the purchase of either Colonel Huston's half interest or the entire club was made by Edward F. Simms, well-known Kentucky turf man. This offer was understood to involve a figure of $3.OOO,O0O for the combined Ruppert and Huston in- terests but was definitely considered. Despite Colonel Illusions announce ment fthe desire to retire from baseball, reports persist that he might obtain an interest in the Bos- ton American league club. Through out the day he avoided interviewers and refused to add to the statement he issued last night.

 NEXT APRIL r
Weather Conditions Reported to Be Reason for Later Date
 on Big League Activities

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.- National league owners decided today to open the 1923 season on April IT, a week later than usual. President Heydler explained that the schedule commit tees of both American and National leagues had agreed on the later date.
 Weather conditions have proved more favorable for baseball early in October than the fore part of April during recent seasons according to President Heydler and it was thought desirable to change the dates to con form.
 When asked if this later opening date would also be observed by the American league, Heydler said that he knew of no reason why there should be a difference of opinion on the matter. He stated that at con ference with President B. B. Johnson of the American league last August, April 17 was fixed upon as the date

and that the joint scrednle commit tee of the two major leagues so under stood the situation.
 The greater part of today's session was devoted to routine business, in cluding the presidents report, as well as those of the board of directors and the treasurer. The 1922 pennant was officially awarded to the New York club and the team also was congratu- lated upon winning the world series. The club owners, who attended the meeting in a body, approved the plan to erect a monument over the grave of Chaplain Adrian Anson in Chicago. The selection and details was left to the president.

GREATEST LOSS IN FISH

The greatest loss of the years com merce is in fish products. Indications are, however, that large number of salmon canneries will operate in 1922. A study of the table covering ship ments of products to the United States shows substantial gain in pickled fish, due to the growth of the herring industry. The items of fresh salmon, shrimp and gypsum also show gains over 1920 Hope is renewed in the mining industry. New lode mines in the Juneau, Sitka mining districts expect to start crushing ore in 1922, and a general continuation of
 activity in gold quartz prospecting throughout the Territory. A revival of the placer mining of the interior, due to cheaper cost of transporta- tion and supplies, is looked for. An increase of over half million dol lars in gold and silver shipments from the Fourth division took place in 1921. PULP OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING
 During the last year the first Alas ka wood-pulp was manufactured and shipped to the United States. While the value was too small to make separate item in the list of commodi- ties, nevertheless it marked the be- ginning of the development of one of Alaska's greatest natural resources. .(Continued on Page Seven)

STANDING BY DIVISION

The Third Division leads both in imports and exports, with the First Division in second place, followed in the order named by the Fourth and Second divisions. The lead of the Third over the First in imports is very small but the formers exports last year were materially larger Much of the cause of thi sis believed to lie in the fact that all of the, red salmon canneries operated last year while the canners of cheaper grades were for the most part idle. The red fish can neries are located largely in the Third Division. These with the copper pro- ducers represent largely the export list of the Third Division.
 sHRINkAGE IS LARGE
 The total commerce for the year as compared with that for the year pre- vious shows the most material loss reported in the past 15 years, drop ping $42,375,329 Of this amount ex- ports decreased in the sum of SPA, 166,- OS4 and importers S1S,209,245. The total for tho year was the smallest of any year since 1911, although it is but about s2,OO0,OOO less than for 1913.
 TEXT OF REPORT
 Complying with urgent requests from commercial and shipping in- terests in Alaska and the United States for information relative to the commerce of the Territory, the follow ing statistics for 1921 have been con- piled from reports of this office and those of the Department at Washing ton. This report has been issued an- nually for g number of years and the demand for the inforamtion contained herein seems to warrant its continu- ance-
 While it is 70 be regretted that the year 1921 did not show an advance in the commerce of Alaska. yet the bal ance of trade continues in our favor. The outstanding decrease in value of shipments to Alaska occurred from the fact that but few salmon canner- ies were in operation; a decline in all forms of lode mining, especially that of copper, and the completion of the government railroad, with the conse' quent decrease in shipments of con struction materials.
 The decrease of both copper produc- tion and development, owing to the low price of metals, also contributed to the loss in shipments from Alaska, over 1920, as did the decline in pro- duction and value of canned fish, fish 1 and whale oils, fertilizers, lead ore, marble, palladium and platinum. It Is an encouraging feature. however, to note that the decline shown in shipments to the United States Is due

 REFLECTS NATIONAL
 DEPRESSION The value of Alaska's mineral out put in 1921 was approximately sixteen million dollars, as compared with twenty three millions in 1920. The in- activity of Alaska mining is but the re- flection of the worldwide depression of the industry, and not primarily caused by local conditions. In the following table a portion of the exports foreign is in the nature of intransit commerce and not consid- cred as part of the actual trade of the Territory.

Alaskas commerce for the year 1921 amounted to 65,954,566, according to the annual report of John c. Mcbride, collector of customs for the District of Alaska Of that amount, imports were valued at $20,2O9,32S and ex- ports at $45,745,33S, leaving balance in trade in favor of the Territory amounting to $25,536,110.
 FISH PRODUCTS LEAD In the list of the products of the Territory exported, fish and fish products lead in value and constitute more than 50 per cent of the value of all the products. The value of the products of the fisheries industry for the year is shown to be $22.929,1S2 Copper is the second export com modity on the list, total of 59,797,- 504 pounds with value of $7,974,270 being exported Gold and silver ex- ports are in third place with a value Ol Pi ,OOV,1fL, VII CudAIy IuC 5silhc1 dS for 1920.
 REVIVAL IN MINING
 One significant feature of the re- port is the substantial increase in the gold and silver exports from the Fourth Division, indicating that con ditions heretofore injuriously affect ing the gold and silver mining indus try are passing away In 1920, the Fourth Division shipped gold and sill yer to the amount of $569,Oso, while last years exports are shown to have been s1,443,3S3, an increase of SS74,- 303 In the other three divisions, de- clining production of these metals was shown. The First Division still leads in the production of gold and silver with a total of s3,7S9.163 or more than 50 per cent of the entire Territorial production.
