Wreck of Jeanette Caused
 A1nundsen's Polar Flights

SEATTLE, Wn., Nov. 23. (P)-Arc- tic navigators returning here from their summer incursiOns into the North by way of Berlng Strait recall that the wreck of the Jeanette orig mated the inspiration for the latest attempt of Captain Roald Amund- sen to float vessel across, or near, the North Pole.
 Commanded by St. George Wash ington de Long, U. s. N., the Jean- cite moved into the Arctic thru Ber- ing Strait in 1879, and after passing Wrangell Island was locked in ice. She crumpled and sank June 13, 1881, after P months in the pack.
 Part of her crew perished in strug- gling over the ice to the mouth of the Lena River, in Siberia, and more died in trying to find human habi- tation. One of the survivors was Chief Engineer George W. Melville, who later became an admiral
 Three years after the crumpling, casks from the Jeanette were found on the coast of Greenland, giving ev- idence they had passed across the Arctic ocean.
 Amundsen's first drifting exploit was in the Gjoa to make the west ward passage of the Arctic above North America. He completed the voyage in 1906 Next, in the Tram, he went to the other end of the earth, discovering the South Pole, December 16, 1911.
 The explorer again started for the North in 1922, this time in the Maud, propelled by crude oil and sails. While away, he made two attempts to reach the Pole by air. In the summer of 1923, plane, which he had carried with him, wrecked it's landing gear in trying to rise at Wainwright.
 On May 21, 1925, Amundsen and five others hoped off in two planes from the Spitzbergen Islands to fly over the Pole. The six returned June IS in one of the planes, the other having been wrecked 15O miles from the pole
 Amundsen, now 53, is preparing to reach the Pole in dirigible.

ROAD COMMISSION
 LOOKS FORWARD TO
 ACTIVE YEAR, 1926
LAST CREW IN THE FIELD AT WORK LOWER RENAL LAKE
 -THRU IN WEEKS

Another two weeks will see the completion of the Alaska Road Con- mission road work in the region, near the lower end of Kenai lake, come to halt, announced Hawley Sterling, supt. for this district, who was a business visitor in Seward over the week end. A crew of men have been working constructing a winter trail around the string of lakes in the vicinity, a distance of approximately eight miles. This same crew, during the early part of last summer built the Nuka Bay trail from the beach to the Alaska Hills Mines property. MT. Sterling stated that with the exception of three men still at work in the Me- Kinley National Park, overhauling tractors for hauling in next sum- mer's equipment and supplies, the crew working in this district is the last one in the field.
 This road around the lakes will be used by the mail carriers who, once a month make delivery thru out the Kenai peninsula district, pri- or to the time the lakes freeze over. When the lakes become solidly froz- en, the mail will be taken into the country over the lakes, but before that time, in the past, it has always been quite problem for the mail contractor to circumvent the lakes.
 Regarding the matter of new road work for next season, MT. Sterling said this would be taken up during the coming winter months, that at the present time, there was nothing for publication with the exception that another active season is looked forward to.

A libel action against the Norwe- gian ship Maud, owned by the famous explorer, Roald Amundsen, filed by the Standard Oil Co.,, has been trans ferred to Juneau from the Nome dis trict court, papers being filed in the office of the Clerk of Court, says the Juneau Empire A transfer was made on motion for a change of venue made by Lyons & Orton, attorneys for the libelant
 Out of several similar actions start ed against the ship following it's re- turn to American waters after an ab- sence of more than three years in Arctic and Russian waters, that of the Standard Oil is said to be the first It was commenced shortly after the vessel made port at Nome. 1t was li- beled there, released on penal bond and proceeded to Seattle.
 The suit of the Standard Oil is for petroleum oils alleged to have been furnished the vessel at Seattle in June, 1922, amounting to S649S6, to- gether with 8 per cent interest since that date. The complaint alleges the Maude sailed from Nome on June 23, 1922, for Russian waters en route on a voyage of exploration in the Arctic cean regions.

GentIemen's Agreement Re-
ported Making Top
Cost SIS. 900

Major league magnates are be-
ginning to see the light. 1t might
be a difficult task to prove this
statement, but signs are pointing to
. determination by the big club
owners to halt the paying out of
fabulous sums for minor league
stars.
Old-time fans and students Of the
grand gamble have been staggered
OF late years at the appalling fig
ures paid for talent. A fan of be-
fore the war days remarked that
1t was astonishing the way the ma
Jors literally threw away money
nowadays for minor league stars.
To give $4,000 for an untried re-
cruit is commonplace and yet the
club owners are gleeful when they
take that much money I'M at the
gate.
From someone close to the base
ball throne comes statement that
the major league clubs have set a
limit OF $25 900 cash for future ptr-
chases. They have what approaches
a gentlemen's agreement not to pay
large sums for minor leaguers and
TO halt the bidding against each
other.
When two or more clubs are
after the same Ilayer who is highly
priced in the minors the magnates
have determined to draw lots .simi-
lar to the procedure under the
draft
Minor magnates, who. as Ban
Johnson, president of the American
League, said, were growing fat and
wealthy through the sale of play
ers, may find that they will have
to NEE. the terms of the majors or
they won't dispose of their stats.
The big league agreement on pur-
chases follows the complaint OF
some OF the smaller clubs in the,
circuits that they are unable to
bolster their teams because they
can't pay the higher prices for
players in the open market.

Jack Dunn Near Goal
OF Seventh Pennant
IN Row

Jack Dunn has the seventh
consecutive league championship
all but sewed up, in the opinion
of. most league observers. Dunn
has the beet balanced club in
the league, but chief credit for
the steady, victorious march Of
the Orioles is due to fine trio
Of pitchers Jack Ogden, Tommy
Thomas and George Earnshaw.
These three have pitched mas
terfuIIy since the gonfalon hunt
opened and are yet to show any
signs Of cracking under the
strain.
All three are fast ball spe-
cialists, which happens to be.
most effective these days Of
many home runs. You can pull
d slow ball or d curve over the
fence for 3 homer, and that is
no great task in the Interna-
tional League park.
With smoke balls it's diff
ferent case. True, they travel
far when hit, but there's no
time for pulling the bat when
the horsehide is coming 1t you
q mile q minute.

BALL IS STILL

HIGGINS
Yankees Pilot Disagrees With
McGraW on Question
of Sphere
BY FORD G. FRICK

CLEVELAND, Aug. 24.--Mr. Mil.
Ter Higgins, the Florida real estate
king, takes emphatic exception
with John Joseph McGraw, the
bard of Pelham
II don't know about the National
League ball, but the onion in the
American League is just as lively
as ever" Mr.. Higgins remarked,
apropos of nothing. With that as
a theme he glided promptly to new
oratorical heights.
''McGraw says the seams of the
ball have been raised and the. COW
er loosened. Perhaps that's true
now and then. I must admit that
opposing hitters frequently raise
the seams. Unfortunately they
raise the ball with it. And some.
times they loosen the cover q bit.
But it's entirely unintentional on
the part of the Yankees. So far as
we are concerned, the ball is Just
as lively as it ever was-and the
infielders are less lively.
"Nossir." remarked Mr.. Higgins
with emphasis. There has been
no change in the American League
ball. 1t is still as lively as ever"

Described Few Weeks Ago As
Having No Fighting
Heart
BY DAVIS j. WALSH
international News service

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-If the
writer's memory does not play him
false, it is his impression that 1t
was only a few days ago that the
Pittsburgh Pirates were being re-
ferred to in certain circles as a
club with competitive heart the
size of a ball bearing. That was
the Pirates trouble. they said. just
ball club that couldn't rise to an
emergency.
This might be taken as d deplor-
able state OF affairs, and the writer
would be only too glad to have the
volunteer pa1lbearers form on the
left, If 1t hadn't been for the fact
emergency and the Pirates provided
the self-raising batter, both human
and semi-fluid.
They simply bounded right up to
meet the emergency at the top Of
its arc and beat the Giants in
three Of the first four games. A
fifth and final contest Is scheduled
for this afternoon, but IL seems to
have become of slight consequence.
Working on a. five-game lead.
about the only way the Pirates can
lose the pennant now Is to leave the
country. They have thirty-r1ine
gamse to play and IL they lose more
than half OF them they still can
head the Giants at the even wire
IL the latter considerably improve
their present pace by winning TWEEN
ty and losing thirteen.
As a matter of fact. the Pirates
have had to show more than game.
ness to win the majority of games
played. Like the Giants, they en-
tered the series somewhat weakened
from injuries. They had a substi.
tute at second base and in right
field, but the former. Johnny Rawl-
ings, proved to be the life Of the
series. Even IL Moore was IN sound
condition, he couldn't have Johnny
job now, under the circumstances.
The club. however. undoubtedly
has missed Max Carey. its field can.
tain. best base runner and outfield-
er and one Of its leading hitters.
You don't replace men like Carey
seven days in every week but the
Pirates have managed to live this
down.
Gameness? It takes real courage
to go on winning with two OF your
best ball players lost to- you on the
eve OF the years biggest series.

Although she has not been up

is victory over Miss McKane in
the Wightman cup matches.
