PASSENGERS GO DIRECT FROM
 SEATTLE TO SIBERIA COAST

SEATTLE, November 20-When the Imotorship Bazatlan returned recently from the Okhotsk Sea and the Boring Sea Coast of Kamchatka, she complet- ed voyage that will take definite place in the history of Seatle's Asiatic trade. She was the first vessel ever to carry passengers direct from Seattle to Siberia, sailing from here early in the spring.
 In the interim she has visited the principal communities of the Okhotsk Sea; including the inner shores of S1- beria and the west coast of the great Kamachatka Peninsula. Probably no other vessel in all history has cover ed the Okhotsk Sea ports so tnoro!y
 This ship was chartered from San Francisco interests by Olaf Swenson x Co.,, the big trading combine formed early in the year by Olaf Swenson of Seattle, the Denbigh interests of Japan and Siberia, Bryne & Co.,, of Tladivos- tok and the Kushnareff and SchvetOff interests. The Kushnareff and Schvat- off interests formerly had their head quarters in Russia but since the Bol- shevik revolution have conducted their business from New York city.
 The Swenson company has three other vessels in the Siberian trade.

BUT ONE HIT ALLOWED BY aRA-

CROSBY y
(By r. Barnesl

.ss Little Falls went to Crosby Wednes-
day and brought home the bacon ia as
pretty q game as may be seen in the
major leagues. The score was 6 to l.
Gravel pitched a mastery game and
with better support should have had a
shut.out. b.
But nine men faced Gravel in the first
three innings, he himself, set down
five by way of the strike-out route.
The game was waged upon almost even
terms until the old wrecking crew got
busy in the fourth, when they drove in
four runs on three hits, four errors, a
sacrifice, and; three stolen bases. Again
in the seventh, they were able to bunch
hits and errors for two runs; both runs
coming over after two were out. =
Crosby was shut out until the ninth
when two costly errors allowed them to
shove over their only counter.
All Of the boys showed up exceeding
ly well. Gravel showed. that
he is complete master of the ball, being
able to place itzany place he wishes.
Lasky, catching with a sore hand play
ed a whale of a game, not a man stole
on him. The indeld was fairly fast,
Randall playing first was shining
satellite, and having no previous prac-
tice in his new position, he indeed
handled it we'll. The outfeld performed
in good fashion. Hauser, with a sore
hand, played left field and speared two
dandy bids for hits. If the wind would
have been with the batter, they most
probably would have pone over the
fence. The boys certainly are pep
perry bunch and great things can be ex.
pected of them.
The St. Cloud aggregation beat
Brainerd at Brainerd Wednesday, thus
tying Little Falls for the lead in the
Central Minnesota League with three
victories and one defeat.
