 The serum Was supplied by J. B BeeSon, who made a 600 mile race aginSt death in 1920 by dog team to lditarod.
 The U, s. Signal Corps issued a call for dog teams to carry the antitONin to Nome and seasoned muSEer> responded ready to enter the relays. The serum will be transferred at Nenana to d dog team owned by Wm. Shannon, and this dog team will make the dash 70 TolOvanA in one mush. Succeeding teams will follow the TanaEa to the Yukon River, then to NulatO, across Norton Bay ana overland to Nome.
 Only one physician is here and he is kept busy 24 hours a day as the result of the diDhtheria epidemic which has already caused the death of 10 persons. New cases are reported daily the ma j0rity of the sufferers being ESkimOS.
 The schools are closed as the result of the epidemic and a quarantine practically exists throughout the city.

similar condition when Roger Peck
inpaugh is no longer able to fill the
bill at shortstop.
However, there is an end to the
career Of every star, no matter how
brilliant. The passing Of veteran
shortstops calls for the introduction
Of new crop Of youngsters.
The American League is going
through such situation this season.
Four of the eight shortstops are re-
cruits. Five, when you consider La
motto, who is subbing for the injured
Walter Gerber Of the St. Louis
Browns.
1t is sort of traditional that small
players make the best shortstops, al
though there have been decided ex-
ceptions like Hans Wagner. As a
matter Of fact, Roger Peckinpaugh,
five feet 10 inches, is the tallest
player in the American League at the
position.
He Supplanted Rigney
The four new recruits to break into
the American League this year, Tav-
ener, Wanninger, Davis and Cononlly,
are all from two to five inches short
er than Peckinpaugh.
Some idea of Tavener's worth can
be CLEANED from the fact that he
supplanted SO good a player as Rig
ney. His work has featured the play
of the Detroit Tigers.
In Wanninger, known as "Peewee,"
because of his size or lack of it, the
Yankees appear to have picked up a
great prospect.
The 1925 crop of recruit shortstops
certainly makes it seem that worth
while players at that position come
in small packages.

Harry TAFT, heavyweight scrapper,
who will meet Jimmy Delaney in
the main event of the boxing show
to be staged in the city auditorium
Saturday night, is a big rough scrap
per who is expected to give Delaney

clever boxer and he is sure to give
the eastern star busy ten rounds.
Four fast preliminaries will pre-
cede the main event. The show will
open at 10 p. m. and seats are selling
ut popular prices.
Mike Gibbons and Mike Collins will
be here with Delaney and Gibbons

BY Billy Evans
This is a season Of new shortstops
in the American League.
Incidentally, it is an interesting
fact that the latest crop comes in
small packages.
Jackie Tavencr of Detroit, Davis
of the Chicago White Sox, Wanninger
of New York and Connolly Of the Bos-
ton Red Sox are all half pint" ath-
letes.
There is no more important posi-
ton on the ball field than that of
shortstop. The great Eddie Collins,
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1925-07-09

once remarked to me that playing
second base was a vacation in COM
parison to shortstop.
Since Collins is just about the
best second baseman the game ever
produced, his idea of the value Of
shortstop play is very interesting.
There have been few great teams
in the history of baseball that didn't
boast a star at shortstop. Much of
the inside play of the infield revolves
about that position.
The break in the play of the New
York Americans had the passing of

April ?E.-- Kentucky Derby training operations were kept down to slow time here yesterday when an all-day rain de- yeloped a muddy track. however the inclement weather did not prevent trainers Of the leading candidates from exercising their charges, Our General, Captain Hal, Brave Bob, Le O Coner, Quatrain, Boon Com panion, Mark Master, Drowsy Waters and other favorites being sent various furlongs.
 Cooler weather prevailed here to- day following the rain and was well comed by turfmen as the unseasona- bIe heat was beginning to effect quite a few thoroughbreds.
 Mark Master turned in the most creditable workout of the season here yesterday when he covered a mile and an eighth in 1858.
 Rail gossip early today centered around the sensational support ac- corded recent 10 August's Busch's Chief Tncas. This colt never has faced the barrier and why the drop in odds shoud take such a change has caused great wondcrment among Churchill Downs and Douglas Park devotees.
