Cheerful Tip on Gagnon.

Cheerful Tip on Gagnon.
Followers of the Griffmen who
seriously doubt the wisdom OF the
trade by which Pitcher Ray Francis
was shifted to Detroit in exchange
for Inhelder Chick Gagnon. espe-
cially in view OF the poor fielding
record OF the latter, whose percent
age of 1873 with Rochester last sea
son placed him at the very bottom
Of the large army of international
League shortstops, may get a grain
OF comfort from the information
furnished by Charley Moran that
the rough field there is largely to
blame for the fact that Gagnon was
charged with twenty-six errors in
siXty-tive games. The astutc direc-
tor OF athletics at Catholic Uni
versity is authority for the state
ment that Rochester's infeld is the
poorest he ever saw in a league with
pretentions TO class, having gotten
his dope during visit there last
summer
"From what i saw OF Gagnoa An
action he should he rated as q very
e"cIeut Bdy0
"Many Of the errors he made car
he charged to the lumpy nature OF
the soil in the Rochester inAeid.

the ball to take odd bounds. PH

Mike Driscoll. former catcher
first baseman OF the Catholic Uni

have signed with the Nationals, fol-
lowing the close of school last sum-
mer, will be with the Rochester club
this year. according to the state
ment made by Owner George Stall
ings. former manager Of the Boston
Braves, to Clark Griffith at the win
ter meeting of the American League.
1t will be recalled that Driscoll
reported to the Nationals in Phila-
delphia early last season when he
was supposed TO have signed
Washington contract. Bad weather
prevented him being given an in
spection at the time. and he finally
landed with Toronto Of the Inter
national League. where, under his

WASHI%GTON, Jan. 27.-No off cial explanation of President Hard ing's recall of American troops from the Rhine was forthcoming this week but it was understood to have follow ed notification from France that she intended to occupy the Ruhr valley until the reparationS were paid, de- spite definite knowledge that Ameri- can troops would be withdrawn if she took over the German territory.
 The only American army units to remain In Europe will be those attach ed to the graves registration service.
 In the absence of any official expla- nation the inference immediately was drawn in many quarters that the with drawal was to be interpreted as pro- test as result of further advances of the French.

REV. kAsHEvAROFF ID
 LECTURE: HERE FEB. 10

| Sewardites and visiting Alaskans have a treat in store for them. They will be enabled to hear some of the unwrittcn history of the north within the hear future. Histor. which was in the making at the time most of lbe old residents were in swaLdt'iQs cioti'- ing, and from the lips of one who is authority On that history.
 Through arrangements made be- tween igiOo No. g, Pioneers of Alaska. and A. r. kashavaroff. oI Juneau. the interesting past of the Territory will be unfolded to Seward audience about February 10.
 There is perhaps no other man ill Alaska so well acquainted with the subject introduced as is the Rev. A. F. Kashevaroff, curator of the Alaska Historical Association at Juneau. He has during his lifetime made study of the northland and has it's complete history, political and otherwise, to his command.
 Born in Alaska, educated in the states and attaining high degree of knowledge. returning to the land of his birth at the completion of his col lege term, he is without question the one man in all Alaska who knows positively the history of Alaska.
 At present Rev. Kashevaroff is at Latouche arriving there on the Ad miral Watson, and from there will go to Chenega, Valdez, Ellamar, and Cor dova, thence to Seward. It is proba- ble that he may make trip to An chorage and the interior, all depend ing upon circumstances. No matter where he goes from Seward it is up to all residents of the town to hear something about the country which has never been in print.
