The above is the tempting boxing card offered by the Bridgeport A. X A. for the open-air show tomorrow night at the State Street arena. Rap Ian and Baird are in town and look to be in tiptop condition for their second argument of the season Baird is not a boastfuI fellow and had little to say about the mill other than he is confident of getting the verdict this time over the Meriden Bearcat.
 In his modest manner all that Baird committed himself in few words:-'Tm going to fight a bit diff ferently tomorrow night than I did in the last bout. I'm sure of winning, but am not anticipating a walkover, for Kaplan is one of the best boxers I have ever opposed. l have no a1bl

 At one game in Nenana, the bases were all full with Cordova players when Anstis came up to bat. AS he had been hitting the ball right along, the Nenana fans were mighty ser ious and were so quiet while he, was at the bat that a pin could be heard dropping. This was one time, how ever, that the Nenana pitcher famed him and as soon as he was called out, the Nenanites started taking in their breaths again.
 The big hitters on the trip were Anstis, Lopez, "Home Hun" Fred erickson and "Poky" while Tracy was nicknamed "Sea-gulP' in An chorage for being able to nail the ball whenever it came his way. Steel received a badly sprained ankle at Anchorage from which he has not recovered and Jackson was used as a pinch hitter twice.

BALL TEAM RETURNS

The Cordova baseball team re- turned home yesterday after con- pleting a trip to LatoucheD Seward Anchorage, Nenana and Fairbanks. The boys report that in every town visited they were given a royal re- ception and that there was some- thing being done for them all the time.
 While away, twelve games were played in which the home team won eight, mighty good record taking into consideration that the boys were travelling and were being en- tertained, which naturally would cause them to be under a strain while playing.
 At Anchorage, the team was nick named "The, Timber Wolves" and at Nenana they were called "The Clam Diggers." To impress this name on them, the Nanana fans staged a monster parade marching on the field with a stretcher on which was large oil drum painted to repre- sent a razor back clam. Astride of the clam was the Nanana pitcher, the whole thing being carried by four of the Nanana ball players Marching to funeral march, the nrocession circled the diamond and down to the river bank where pray CTS were offered and the big clam thrown into the river. Flowers were then tossed upon the water by the Nenana flappers and the game pro- ceeded.
 Among other things brought home by the boys was a tin cup and cake: both of which are on dis play at Bogart's paint store. The cake was presented to Manager Ben Sherman with special remarks in reference to Ty Cobb, the second, alias Anstis, who stole more bases than any man on the team. The cake is a beauty and weighs fifteen pounds.
 In the first game played at Ne mana, Martini was hit in the back with a pitched ball which knocked

''MULE" ON HOMESTEADS
 WILL BE DANGEROUS

ANCHORAGE, Aug. 15. - Home steaders who are using their locations as a blind for the manufacture of moonshine whiskey are liable to have the entries cancelled, as we'll as to land in jail, if plans now contemplat- ed by Federal officials materialize. Through cooperation between home stead inspectors and prohibition off cers, homestsaders suspected of break ing the law will be apprehended, and penalties imposed. To this end the officials will receive the assistance of legitimate homesteaders, who are com plaining that many neighbors are using their homesteads as blinds and who are, therefore, making it impos- sible for the bona fide settlers to se- cure road improvements. In. connec- tion with this phase of the moonsh1n- ing evil, District Attorney Julian A. Hurley has stated that measures hold ing the homesteaders strictly account able were not the worst that he would do. He is also contemplating filing charges of murder in cases where evi- dence shows that the liquor by which a patient came to his death was sold to him by illicit dealers. Wherever it is possible to secure sufficient evl- dence to warrant the charge, says MT. Hurley, he will add murder to that of moonshining.
