There something pathetic
not to consider the heroican-
gle of the affair--to see one
lone figure stand before the dis
pleasure of an angry mob. and
take the reproaches and abuses
heaped upon his head. Regard
less of how much that person
may deserve the punishment be-
ing melted out upon him, the fact
that he Is playing a lone game

enough to excuse him from vio-

Steamboat" Johnson incurred
the displeasure of Baronial fan
dom Friday, and was treated to
pop bottle shower as result.
johnson had been giving the Bar
ons the short end of close de-
cisions, and undoubtedly the fans
had room to be displeased. But
mob violence, as he was trated
: to, Is inexcusable.
Johnson did the one thing pos
sible under the circumstances. He
turned his back on the crowd, and
became a submissive target to the
bottles that were flying in his
direction. He could not abandon
the ship and flee the spot. Neither
retaliate. Steamboat" turned
away, and trusted to good luck
to bring him through unframed.
The question Is this: Will Bir-
mingham fandom allow such in
excusa BILE mob violence at Rick
wood? Will Magic City rail-
birds win the name for them
selves as the worst hoodlums of
the Southern league? We hardly
think so, and repetitions of such
affairs as was staged at Rick
wood Friday will probably not
come any time soon.
Officials of the Birmingham
club are determined that such
happenings shall be eliminated
from Rickwood's schedule of
events. and every person caught
throwing a pop bottle-or even
a cushion-will be arrested. Fri
days affair was only mild one.
and the police were not required
to halt proceedings.
Either those railbfrds were not
serious in their attack on john
son, or else lack of training has
impaired their effectiveness. Not
one bottle came near to johnson,
which is more than can be said
for some bloOdthirsty fans over
the circuit we know.
Come to think of 1t. Friday was
a bad day for those Barons. They
stood as much chance of getting
anything from those umpires as a
two weeks old chick of winning
an egg laying contest.
Steamboat" Johnson was feel
ing his way around the bases in
haze, it seemed, and only oc-
casionally did he seem to get a
peek at the bags themselves. The

Beginning with the opening of navigation it is contemplated to oper- ate a weekly steamboat and barge service between Nenana and Holy Cross, and a weekly passenger and mail service by launch between Holy Cross and St. Michael, according to a statement made by Col James G. Steese, Chairman of the Commission. For this service the Jacobs and the Davis, transferred from the War
 Department, have been overhauled, and barges, launches and additional
 floating equipment necessary have
 been acquired under authority of the Act of January 24, 1923, carrying appropriation for the Alaska Railroad for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924x

It is expected the boats will be dn the water before the first Of June. Ore from the Mayo district will be handled by the White Pass route and delivered on board barges at Nenana. The Alaska Rail road will unload this ore and deliver it to the Pacific carriers at Anchor age. It is expected that from 10000 to 12,000 tons of ore will be handled during the current season. Facili- ties are being provided at Nena1a for handling 600 tons per day so that the barges may be released within "A hours.
