LAYS
 PLANS FOR VISIT
 NOW CALLED OFF

Most of the time consumed by the Commercial Association at the meeting last Thursday night was taken up with discussion of mat ters of public interest that will come up fer final decision in the near future, particularly the ques- tlon of incorporating the town and the improvement of First street so as to connect up with the dock ap- proach. No action was taken on these projects, the object of bring. ing them up being to start a gen. eral discussion throughout the town so that when action is necessary the various phases to be considered will have been threshed out.
 In view of the reported visit of Governor Bone and the First Divi- sion court party, it was decided to invite the Pioneers of Alaska to cooperate with the Commercial As sociation in providing some kind of a reception and entertainment. At their meeting last night the Pioneers decided to call a public meeting tonight to consider this subject, but advices received today are to the effect that the party have changed their plans and are not coming.

COMMONWEALTH
 ID BE WORKED THIS SUMMER

Dan J. Hickey of Tacoma, who has become interested in the Com- monwealth Mining company. and visited the property last week in company with Neill Mcdonald and Emil Davis, left for his home Sum day morning, with the intention of returning in about 60 days.
 MT. Hickey, who has taken part in practically all the northern min ing stampedes, including the Klen- dike rush, and for several years conducted a drug store in Juneau, tod the Miner that considerable amount of development work is to be done this season on the Com monwealth. The tunnel will be driven ahead on the large lode un- der the direction of MT. Mcdonald, and Mir. Davis will give the surface a thorough prospecting. The first undertaking will be the construc- ton of a horse trail to the tunnel camp, distance of two and one quarter miles.
 The Commonwealth group is in Alaska, and consists of eight claims, located near Davis river, which empties into Portland canal about l2 miles south of Hyder. In addi- ton the company owns the Horse shoe group of six claims. located on the same mineral zone and above the Commonwealth. The property, it is believed, will develop into a big milling enterprise. No bodies of high-grade ore have as yet been found upon it, but the immense extent of the surface min eralization makes it exceptionally attractive from a milling viewpoint, especially when it's accessibility and natural facilities for econom- i:Al mining and milling are taken into consideration.

A|R-T|GHT BALL BRINGS THE BACON
 HOME ID HYDER

Hyder captured the third base. ball game of the season from Stew art on the latter's grounds Sunday by the tight score of 2 to 0. Until the last ball was pitched in the last half of the 7th, it appeared to be anybody's game, and the fans were up on their toes throughout the entire session.
 Wilson, for Stewart, pitched the best game of his career in this sec ton and famed six of the iIyder players, while Tyler, foT Hyder, de- veloped puzzling delivery that the Stewart bunch couldn't land for safe hits. As ill the game of the previous week, Hyder held the edge in fielding, and also showed greater batting strength. Stewart pulled out of three tight holes, when men were on second and third and any kind of a hit would have scored two runs each time. The game was exceptionally free from errors. and some brilliant fielding was done on both sides.

MORLEY IS KAY0ED
Soldier Bartfcld Of Brooklyn Sends Mike To Canvass Three Times In Fifth Round In Providence Bout.

Providence, R. l., April 7.-Soldier Bartfeld of New York, knocked out Mike Morley of Hartford in the fifth of scheduled 12-round bout here last night. Left hooks to the chin in the final frame sent the Connecti- cut boxer down for the count of nine, and twice another hook foored Nor ley and Referee McDonough waved Fairfield to his corner a victor
 The bout started off at a fast clip with fighting at close quarters pre- dominating. Up until the start of the fatal fifth the Hartford middleweight had the better of the milling, losing the first, holding his own in the sec ond and taking the third and fourth rounds decisively.
 In the last round Bartfield crouch cd to close quarters. breaking through Morley's defense repeatedly and un- loosing a fusilade of hooks to his opponents head, weakening him to such a considerable extent that he was staggering when Bartfield sent him down with a left to the jaw for nine.
 Morley tried to cinch when he re- gained his feet, but Barttield shook him off and dropped him again for count of nine. After gaining his foot ing once more, Morley tried the same tactics which proved futile, the New Yorker knocking him down for the third time for nine. Morley gamely tried to rise and resume the uneven combat but the referee could not see if and the fans dispersed early.

|STARS TURNED QUIT l FROM COAL FIELDS
Many Players of Fame Got Start
 in Mining Region

Wilkes-Barre, April 7.-Anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania in the past have given to the big leagues many star baseball players. and it is good hunch that others will de- relop In the present enforced holi- days, should history of the previous suspensions since 1880 repeat there is no doubt of if.
 Between 1880 and 1890, the hard coal fields turned out such successful players as John (Buck) Freeman, whose home run record stood for 20 years; Hughie Jennings, former manager of the Detroit Americans and now John J. McGraw's first as- sistant with the New York Giants Billie Goeckel, former star first base man of the Philadelphia Nationals; James (Steamer) Flanagan, once a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates; Al Gillespie, the old New York out fielder; Jack and Arthur McCabe, Edward Buck" Walsh, former mem Der of the Chicago Americans; Frank Barker, once a Giant catcher, and Mike and John O'Neil, the St. Louis battery of years ago.
 Many Nationalities
 All of them were deve oped in the Wyoming valley and several during suspensions similar to that now in effect.
 In the old days baseball in the coal regions was confined to youths of Irish. English, Welsh, Scotch and German ancestry. Not 10 today The sons of Polish, Slavish, Lithuanian. Russian and Italian i'm migrants, most of whose parents can not speak English, have taken to the game with enthusiasm unsurpassed. Many of them have realized their am bition to become big league players and others are on the way. Among them are the Coveleskie brothers, Harris of Washington, McNally of the Tanks, Shorten of Detroit, Steve O'Neill of Cleveland and Katch of the Reading Internationals. kochinskl Reretiski, Gido and number of oth- CTS are being given tryouts with pro- fessional teams.
 Games Draw Well.
 Almost anywhere in the Wyoming valley it is possible on Sunday to find a. baseball game with several thous- and spectators, and in which all the coaching and roofing by the players and fans is done in a foreign tongue.
