Times of Aug. 4, Relief for Virgin Is

will be remembered as Red Cross field
representative here just over a year ago.
The review of affairs in the islands IS
interestingly presented and considered
by the writer. The following pertinent
comments are striking 1T seems hard

There is much favorable comment on
the film Beautiful Denmark" screened
at the Christiansted Theatre on Saturday
night last. We were present at the thea
tire and wondered at the lack of a more
generous attendance. Now it appears
that many persons who would otherwise
have attended the show had the impress
son that only members of the Danish
club and others specially invited were
welcome, hence the absence of a large
number. For this Ieason it is requested
that the management OF the theatre ar

MILE. SUZANNE SLIPS
Great French Tennis Star Isn't Up to
Concert Pitch"
By WALTER CAMP.

Copyright, 1928. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Feb. There is a general
feeling today. and it certainly has some
foundation, that Mile. Lenglen, the
greatest woman tennis player in the
world, is shading off somewhat on her
game.
One story is that she has put on
weight. This is a minor handicap. But
in some way her dynamic energy which
usually starts very early in the match
and continues until she goes off the
court a victor seemed at Cannes recent
ly to be intermittent rather than con-
tinuous. She had quite a hard job
with Mrs. Satterthwaite of England.
The French girl won in two sets, Ga
and go, but she is not in the habit of
letting any opponent get six games in
two sets on her.
In spite of all we have said above.
in this match Mile. Lenglen showed
greater endurance than did Mrs. Sat
terthwaite, but the fact remains that
she is not now up TO concert pitch
and probably never will regain her high
est form,

SOMEONE SEEKS SCALP
OF BOSS MCCARTHY OF
PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE
Agitation for His Removal
as Enemy of Major
League Draft.
BY John Ii. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1923, by The San Antonio Light
New York, Feb. 7.-Some of the
baseball politicians are writing letters
urging changes and otherwise adding
fuel under the political baseball pot on
the Pacific coast. 1t might be possible
if the pot boils over, that President Nc.
Carthy of the Pacific Coast League will
be floated out of office. There are num-
bers Of baseball men in the East, how.
ever, who feel a vital mistake will be
made if the coast league reaches point
where Mccarthy is put out.
The Pacific coast president is against
the draft, and his stand against il has
Francisco club. the Vernon club and
Seattle, Portland and Sacramento than
ever they would have had with the draft
in effect. Salt Lake City need not
be overlooked. either. That organiza-
ton is in few hundreds it would not
have had if Mccarthy had urged his
league to join with the drafters.
The clubs that opposed to Mccarthy
are Portland, on personal grounds; Oak
land, because of difference of opinion :
Salt Lake City, for reasons known to
itself, and Los Angeles. because the
latter stands for an influence that is
seeking to dominate a lot in the ma
tional game.
Those who are in close touch with
baseball affairs intimate strongly that
some faction is seeking McCarthy's
scalp. II he can be unseated it is fig
ured one-third of the opposition TO the
draft can be annihilated and that all
the long boundary Of the western half
of the United States again will be I'M
der domination of the majors. The
majors do not care much what may hap
pen TO baseball out that way il they
can escape giving up the big prices they
have had to pay for players in the last
three years.
1t is true that the majors do not
need TO pay those prices if they do not
wish to do so, but they wish the draft
restored in order that the threat Of
quick delivery before draft begins shall
stand as a bugaboo TO compel the coast
to unload. The other twO-thirds of the
opposition TO the draft is centered in
President Toole Of the International and
President Hickey of the American As
ISOLATION. The latter organization is
more buyer and seller OF players after
development than a scout for players in
the bushes.
Hickey permits his league to formu-
late his policy, and Toolc is not much
in dread of the National League, having
acted as its attorney. Toole will fight
the draft on principle and with the ex-

LETTER FROM SECRETARY
NINE MILE GROUP SCENE OF
CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY
MANY YEARS AGO.

The Occur d'Alene Mining and
smelling company is arranging to
haein development work, according to
letter Just issued by Jos. f. Whelan,
secretary treasurer of the company.
The company owns seven claims on
the west fork of Nine Mile. Many
Years ago quite an extensive develop
ment program was carried out by the
late w. E. Finch, the property then
being called the Banner. Little has
been heard of it during recent years
until within the last few months,
when, like many other Nine Mile prop
critics. the remarkable discovery on
the McPhillips property infused it
with renewed life. A. d. Wallace, of
the Wallace Meat company, is presi-
dent of the company. In his letter
to the stockholders Mr. Whelan says.
Improved Conditions.
you are advised that the general
mining conditions in the Occur d'Alene
district have improved within the
past year, to such an extent that it
is deemed advisable by the directors
to inaugurate policy of active de-
velopment for the purpose of deter
mining the value of the property of
the company, and to place the prop
erty on a producing and dividend pay
ing basis.
NO assessments have been levied
on the stock of the company since the
year 1917. During the years 1920 1921
and 1922, the directors of the company
have personally advanced the neces-
sary funds to take care of the annual
assessment work for each of those
years, taking care of all necessary
work up to July l, 1928.
1.-The present assessment, notice OF
which is herewith attached, is levied
by the board of directors for the pur-
pose of re-imbursing those directors
who have advanced funds to take care
of the development work as stated,
and also to make provision to carry
out a vigorous plan of development
of the property during the coming |
year.
The property is in exceedingly |
good shape at the present time and |
it is confidently believed that this plan |
will materially enhance the value of |
the stock, so as to ensure a market |
for sufficient treasury stock to take |
care Of the future development"
