 Fred Broadwell, former Seward resident, who returned north from the States last week. was a guest at Tuesdays luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce and following the busi- ness meeting made an appropriate and timely address in which he stressed on mining activities in Me- vada and of the. interest operators of that State have in Alaska.
 In part, Mir. Broadwell said that while Outside he had interested peo- pie in mining properties in the Ter .ritory and undoubtedly some work will be done in this district in the near future He made it point to advertise Alaska where ever he was, but especially so in California and Texas. Several hundred photo graphs of Alaska were exhibited by him at various times and also, on numerous occasions, he addressed gatherings relating to Alaska, its resources and problems. His work in Texas brought some results, he said, for parties he had talked to visited this district last season. h. cluded in these parties were big game hunter.

Much capital has already flowed over the border into the Ca- nadian mining field.

By the Associated Press.


ST LOUIS. June 23.-The favorite
park for the home-run hitters is the
st. Louis diamond, according to home
run totals. The Pittsburgh Pirates
added six to the total yesterday, and
the home team got two more, max
ing the st. Louis park total 126 to
date, in 58 games in both leagues.
This is far more than the next park,
the Yankee Stadium, which has SO
home runs.
The seasons home-run total is
growing 80 that records of the last
few years may be doubled il me
sluggers keep up the pace.
With the season 40 per cent gone,
the National League has 289 home
runs and the American League 254.
At this rate, the National League
will total more than 700 home runs
for the 1925 season and the American
League about 625.
The best previous total in the Ma
tional League was 535 home runs in
1928 and the highest mark in the
American League was 524 in 1922. In
the days before the double deck
grandstand and the extension of the
bleachers down in the gardens, it
seemed to be harder to knock 1t over
the fence. The National League in
1910 made PA home runs and the
American League 144.
The 'lively ball" discussion was
widespread in 1922 and 1923, but the
homerun totals Of both major
leagues fell off in 1924, the Nationals
making 49S and the Americans max
ing 395.

proved to be an enjoyable feature Of
the program.
At a meeting of the Washington
Athletic Club last night 1t was decided
to change the date for the weekly
swim from Wednesday at $40 to
Tuesday at pm.
Minnie Travis, manager of the club,
urges all members to be on hand to-
night at o'clock at the Y. w. c. A
pool.
The tennis group from the club will
meet as usual Friday afternoon at
5:45 on the Henry Park courts.
Florence SHADING, manager of the
Capitol Athletic Club, has announced
a series of informal swimming races
to be held at the Capital Athletic Club
camp on the Potomac each Tuesday
night, beginning tonight.
/ Any local swimmers of the fair Sex
who wish to do so are cordially in
vited to enter these affairs, which will
include every type of stroke and will
be conducted under the handicap sys-
tenn, thus giving amateur swimmers
an equal chance with the stellar per.
formers.
To reach the camp, which is about
a half mile from Key Bridge on the
Virginia side. walk up the Lee High
way from the Rosslyn terminal to the
garage. At that point follow the road
leading to the river until you reach
the camp which has the letters GAG
in white stones on the front lawn"
Members Of the club will be at the
Rosslyn terminal each Tuesday until
5 o'clock to escort any visitors to the
camp. Those arriving later will easily
find their way if they follow the di-
'rections given above

The general weakness of the Yanks
is seen in the fact that it cannot win
series and that, no matter what team
it runs against, it Will lose at least
one game in the series. Pennants are
not won by that kind Of ball playing.
The other clubs do not believe the
Yanks can possibly get going to do
better than the bottom OF the first
division because the team does not
possess the speed it once had. Its
most important find this year has been
Combs, who is playing we'll for his
first complete year in the outtield, but
he has some things yet to learn.
Meusel is batting about as he al
ways does. but never as powerfully
as he might if he cared for the actual
spirit of base ball. If Bob had Ty
Cobbs ambition he would be a great
ball player. Ruth is not the Ruth he
once was, and that fact must be
looked squarely in the face.
That the Babe will come back to the
heights he once attained is very
doubtful. If his illness were not
against him, his age is. He has been
in base ball about as long as he can
be expected TO stick and ride on the
crest. He can still hit the ball a mile,
but he does not bat with the assur-
ance that he did, and he has punished
himself too severely.
On the infeld Gehrig Is a powerful
hitter playing for Pipp, but he never
will be the equal of Pipp playing the
bag. The latter was much speedier.
Dugan has reached the ailing-knee
stage again, and a third bascnlan VIII
have to be secured sooner or later.
The other two infield positions may
be changed about in time.
The catchers have proved to be just
what another American League man
ager predicted-too slow. Before the
season began, one Of the best known
American League managers said
Higgins has tied himself to the TWO
slowest catchers in the league. and
that what he needed most was some
one behind the bat who could stir uD
the team.
Much of the trouble in the irfeId
and the outfield might have been par
TALLY overcome if the pitching staff
had not slipped, but the pitchers are
as uncertain as the fielders and the
batters, and the general breakdown
which is in evidence here and there
has been the undoing Of the team.
