Q. M. LYNCH CONVICTED
 ASSAULT INTENT TO KILL

After comparatively brief delibera- tion a jury in the Anchorage count found D. M. Lynch guilty as charged in the indictment returned by the grand jury accusing him of shooting with intent to kill John Thompson and Victor Carlson in June last at Thompson's homestead on the west shore of Otter Lake, seven miles north of Anchorage.
 It was brought out during the trial that since 1917 there has been fcud on as to the rights of the parties in volved, Thompson having prior home stead rights and Lynch disputing 1t under alleged mining claims located to cover mari deposits in the lake.
 The case of the United States vs. Anderson. wherein the defendant is charged with shooting with intent to kill in connection with a mining dis plite in the Cache Creek district is on trial this week The alleged of fense occurred last year.

BOWLING

The battle between the King Sal mon and the Sockeyes on the Elks' alleys last Saturday night proved one eff the most thrilling of the season. The Kings took the first game by margin of P pins, but lost the next by II pins. In the final fracas Pullen cut loose and rolled 233 but his fellow Sockeyes slipped while the Kings maintained their steady bowling, with the re- suit that the teams tied at 515. In the ,playoff frame the Kings won, 42 to 39, so the game goes to them.
 Pullen made total of SOP pins for the three games, which is within six pins of the record score made by Barragar few days ago.
 The Seagulls took two out of three games from the Hawks. Cole made high score, 197, with Lang getting the best average, 174.
 Tonight at 7:15 the Tigers play the Leopards, and the second match is between the Crows and the Eagles.

HARRY FRAZEE WANTS

NEW YORK, Dec 4-Unofficial politicians observing the affairs of the American League anticipate a wild row when the magnates meet to draft next years schedule and per form other routine financial duties.
 Harry H. FraZee, owner of the Red Sox. and the two owners of the Yanks, are reported to be donning their war feathers for fight against the allotment of 'iplum" dates to Con nie Mack's Athletics. The Philadel- phia semipros drew all the best of the holiday and weekend engage ments in New York last summer.
 The Red Sox, the first opponents of the Tanks next spring. will de- mand that the schedule be arranged so as to give them a weekend for the opening series. which will also open the Tanks new stadium. Present plans are to get the Red Sox out of town on Friday, thus leaving the weekend date at the new park to the next team, which is the Athletics.

Dancing in Noodle Joints Will Continue - Police
 Women Supervise.

SPOKANE, Wash, Dec. 4.-Com- missioner of Public Safety Maurice Smith, while commenting as a whole the report of the committee that in vestigated alleged juvenile delin- quency among school children here recently, does not agree with it's conclusions as to the need for sup pressing dances in noodle parlors or the necessity for closing such places, whether they permit dancing or not, at midnight.
 Mrs J. H. Tilsley, police woman having supervision over dance halls, says the noodle parlor dances are conducted along proper lines and that no trouble has been .3iven her in these places.
 'The name noodle joint no doubt creates a bad impression in the minds of some people" said Commis- sioner Smith But there are waffle joints, tamale parlors. sehili palaces and other places t,rat Specialize in certain kinds of foods and We can not forbid them to operate because of the name.
 "We have had no complaints from noodle parlors that carry on dancing with meals, and so far as we are in formed the places are operated in accordance with the law. Dances at noodle parlors here close at mid night, the same as do other public dances.
 mittee that we close the noodle cafes at midnight, that would be difficult to carry out A noodle cafe, serv- ing only food, has the same right to keep open all night as any other restaurant"

VOL MERTON TO
 BE REAL BOSS |. FOR SEATTLE
Gray Wolf'' Will Be Wel- comed Back to the Coast
 League Manage Indians

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 4.-Harry Wolverton, the "gray wolf" of the Pacific Coast Baseball League, is to become an Indian chief and fans up and down the circuit will welcome his return to the game as leader of the Seattle tribe in next years race
 One-time manager of the New York Yankees, Wolver'ton led the San Francisco team to a pennant in 1915, and was half way toward another flag in 1917 when he was removed from the management of the club. He went into the automobile busi- ness, starting at the bottom as a salesman, and only few weeks ago was made sales manager of his firm here.
 Wolverton's task is to put the Se- attle Indians up into the first divi- sion, as far up as possible, and to keep them there. He will succeed Deacon John Adams as manager and will have full charge. Nick Williams, scout for the Seals in 1922, will be an Indian scout under Wolverton next year
 'I have so much confidence in Vol. verton's ability" said James Boldt, president of the Seattle club, "that I believe he could have had the club up in the first division with the material we had last year
 ''But we are not going to be satis- fled with material of that calibre. We want the best available and we think Wolvcrton knows ball players when he sees them and makes the best use of those he has,
 In his playing days Wolverton was a star third baseman in the Ma tional League for years. Even when with San Francisco he often went into games himself to add the needp strength, on occasions. He may do it again
 Boldt says he expects to give Vol. verton an entire now infield, if ne cessary, and to strengthen all the other parts of the club.
