Two Oldtimers Heard
 From at Dillingham;

Dillingham;, Alaska, April 30.-John Suovola, who left Tokotna last summer expecting ito prospect on eUnimak island, found conditions unfavorable for landing on the island, and after giving the once-over to several points along the Alaskan Peninsula he came to Dillingham; on the last trip of the Starr last summer.
 Mr. Suovola's intent ions were to pro- ceed up the Nushagak and Malchatna rivers by polling boat and thence by dog team to the headwaters of the Ho holitna, but on account of being unable to buy suitable boat or lumber to build he had to postpone his proposed trip for the time being. He wishes you and the readers of the Kusko Times to know that be loves this sec tion of tine country and the people hereabouts. He believes there are mineral possibilities in the Lake Alex uagak region, out nevertheless intends to carry out lis plan and proceed to the Hoholitna.
 Mir. and Mrs. Frank Waskey during the past winter operated at the west end of Lake Alekuogak. but plan to continue their placer prospecting in the Tikchik lakes section this summer and fall. Mr. Waskey believes that the problem of finding "a coarse gold creek somewhere in the Tikchik re- zion is simply 8 matter of elimination.

 Failure.

Shocking was the sad word ient here Thursday that Robert Menzies, well known representative of the Union Construction Company at Candle, was dead, his death having occurred about 7:50 that morning. Death, it was most apparent, was due to heart failure.
 Mir. Menzies was on his way to the dredge at the time he was stricken, following the ditch line, alongside of which he was found by Andy Hansen, who had left for the dredge about ten minutes later than MT. Menzies. Mr. Hansen rushed to give assistance. but aaw at once that Mr. Menzies was dead.
 Robert Menzies was among the old diners of the North, having gone in 1928 from San Francisco to Dawson, where in the early days of that camp he was connected with the Alaska Commercial Company. He left Daw- son in 1904 for Fairbanks, and was with the Northern Commercial Company at

Hundreds Of Fans Throng
Union Station and Cheer
Champions

~ a4 z - Z
With the cheers Of several NUM-
dred rabid fans ringing in their
ears, Bucky Harris and his Amer
lean League baseball champions
left Washington at IL o'clock to-
day intent upon returning here
Friday morning with a couple of
Pittsburgh scalps.
Hours before the Griffs' special
train was scheduled to leave, the
fans began to clog the huge ro-
tunda of the Union Station. With
the appearance of the first con-
tingent of players, which included
Goose Goslin, Walter Johnson,
Roger PeclSinpaugh, and group
of rockies, the fans enthusiasm
mounted high and the Terminal
police let 'em rave.
Skillet and Gang There
Skillet Finn, Esq, conductor of
the Babe Ruth contest in the Times,
was on hand early with his two
lucky rooters. They travelled in
the same cars with the ball players,
and they have accommodations in
the same hotel.
The so-called strain of being in
the world series had no Visable
effect on the Washington players.
They seemed like bunch of gay
young collegians rather than a
collection of baseball stars. There
was not a somber face in the bunch.
Even Walter Johnson was smiling
out loud.
Rajah Gets Ovation
Roger Peckinpaugh, recently voted
the most valuable player In the
American League, was the recipient
of hearty congratulations from
many of the fans.
They wanted to shake the Rajah's
hand and take a close up peek at
the peerless short stop. Many of
the fans believe that Peck was the
main cog in the wonderful defensive
infield that brought the pennant.

Both Flying Colonel and In
spector General Silent on
Interview

The machinery Of the War De-
partment began to move today to
discipline Colonel william Mitchell
for his attacks on high ranking off
Gals, and his criticism Of the man
ner in which the air services are
being conducted.
Shortly before IL a. m. Mitchell
reported to the Inspector General
of the army to be acquainted with
the charges that have been pre-
ferred against him and to make
such explanation" as he cared to.
Colonel Mitchell appeared at the
Department in civilian clothes.
Colonel q. A. Nugent, acting
inspector general in the absence Of
Major General Eli Eelmick, did
the honors, which were formal and
brief.
Colonel Mitchell was formally
applfsed of the charges against him
and was asked If he cared to make
any statement or explanation-the
usual procedure in the case of an
officer of field rank who is to be
What, if any, statement Mitchell
made was not disclosed. The pro-
ceedings lasted but twenty minutes,
and when they were ended neither
Mitchell nor Nugent would COM
ment on the matter.
Nothing to say; nothing at all.
said Mitchell briskly, as he left the
department.
"Nohing to say: nothing at ALL"
echoed Nugent.
With this roHtine disposed Of,
the inspector general will now
draw up a report and recommenda-
ton for the Secretary of War. His
recommendation will consist chiefly
of ~ whether Mitchell has violated
that article of war covering con
duct prejudicial to good order and
discipline: % whether the charges
against him can be proved, and 90
whether he should be tried.
When, as expected, the inspector
general reports that Mitchell's. con-
duct has been prejudicial to order
and discipline, that the charges can
be sustained, and that he should
be tried, the order. of the court will
be issued by the Secretary of War
Every effort viii be made to OBJ
tain a court of 'fair-minded Inn
partial men" to try Mitchell. If a
trial is ordered. Acting Secretary
of War Davis said today.
Asked whether the court would
contain an air officer. Davis said
he thought it unlikely because of
Mitchell's rank making it next to
impossible to get a superior in the
air service. There are only two
Major General Mason M. Patrick,
chief of air service, and Brigadier
General James e. Feichet, who sue
ceeded Mitchell as assistant chief
of air service, when the flying Col
onel was denoted and sent to
Texas. For personal reasons, it IL
doubtful If these officers would care
to serve. Military -prescribes
that an officer can only be tried
before a court consisting of officers
superior to him in rank.

Zachary and Ruether Care
Not How Pirates Have Been
Swatting Southpaws
By MATTER JOHNSON

Il y
Some Of the so-called experts
have been Eifinga lot of stuff
about the ability Of the Pirates to
whale the stuffings out of left
hand pitchers. Well, I don't know
so much what they did to National
League lefthanders this year, nor
how good the lefthanders are in
that circuit, aside from one or
two | have seen in action, but |
don't believe they have faced
many southpaws like Ruether and
Zachary who do not discriminate
between righthand batters and
lefthand swingers.
The Giants year ago were
doped to have more trouble with
me than with Zachary. but 1t was
Toms wonderful control OF a most
tantalizing delivery that gave him
two victories over McGraw's. team.
Tom simply went in there and
pitched all the ball he knew. and
he knows a whole lot, let me tell
you. He has not made as good 4
record this season as he did in
1924, but lately he has been com
ing along fast, and today is in fine
shape for his best work. That is
going to mean a lot of trouble for
the Pirates, or miss my guess
badly.
AS for Dutch Ruether. he has
surprised everybody in the National
League. He is a cool, careful
pitcher, who delights in his work.
Finding himself among a lot Of
good fellows and with a strong
team almost sure to be in the
money, he has given his whole heart
to his work. He has taken wonder
full care of himself all year with
the natural result--he has been a
winner. In the National League,
part Of the time with weak team
he has won fourteen games from
Pittsburgh and lost thirteen. This
is slightly better than 500 per
cent and is not bad, considering
everything.
Now the Pittsburgh batters
may have fattened on lot of
ordinary Ieft-handed pitching this
season, ] don't know about that.
But / do know that, if Bucky
Harris sends either Zachary or
Ruether against them in this
coming series, they will know
they are up against the real
thing.
Coveleskie, with twenty victories
out of twenty-five starts, has been
slowly preparing himself for the
coming series. He doesn't talk
much about himse.f but / know
his heart is set on winning. at least
one game from the Pirates and he
will pitch his arm off to make it
two games.
Coveleskie' splitter is a puzzler
when breaking for him, but that
isn't all he has that makes him
a great pitcher. Neither is it his
curve or his fast one. 1t is his
heart. He has the courage of a
lion out there on that rubber and,
let me tell you courage Is a whale
of an asset to a pitcher, even in
an ordinAy game. 1t is worth even
more i'm a short series such as we
are to have with the Pirates. We
are all strong for Convey and will
be pulling for him when he toes
the slab against Pittsburgh, as he
is certain to do.
AS for myself. have only to
say that l am going to oe in the
best shape that l have been all
season. My charley horse mas dis
appeared--it never vas very seri.
Gus. / have no preliminary ner-
Vousness and my arm is strong as
ever. If il is right for the series,
and I have every reason to believe
