CHAMBER MAKES PROTEST AGAINST
 CHANGE COURT

At the chamber of commerce lunch con today an emphatic protest was made against the proposal to change the court term from Seward to An chorage, our citizens feeling that they have been discriminated against by court officials in cancelling the pro- posed jury term at Seward in May and holding it at Anchorage June 1. A motion was made and seconded by sent to Judge E. F. Ritchie, at once.
 The committee on the selection of a site for the Jesse Lee Home, sub- mitted it's report through Chairman F. c. McMullen, who informed the members that Rev. R. w. B. Dunlap had sailed for Seattle, returning May 9. It was moved that the committee use it's best efforts to secure the site desired by Mr. Dunlap at Woodrow.
 MT. Urbach being absent, another member of the committee will be cho- sen, to report at the next meeting.
 A communication was received from l.. B. Hardy, game warden, asking the indorsement of the chamber of Representative Ben Grier's move to secure elk for propagation on Kenai peninsula, the move being sponsored by the Elks lodge at Anchorage. On motion the secretary was instructed to wire Representative Grier indors- ing the plan.
 The committee on the Seward-Kenai lake road reported that Mir. H. V. Ho- way over his land at Mile Four if the city would secure new site for the cemetery, as the present site is in danger of being washed away if the road bed is shifted. The executive committee reported that it had wired to Messrs. Parks, Cheatham and Re her in regard to the proposition and that MT. Parks had replied that con- trol of the site selected was vested in the Railroad and if the Railroad re- leased the ground to the land office it would give the site. They reported that it would be necessary to take the matter up with Manager Noel w. Smith, and Attorney A. E. Fucker was appointed to go to Anchorage and in- terview MT. Smith on the matter.
 Owing to it being election and a busy day for many of the members the attendance was not so large as on former occasions, but considerable business was done by those present.

WOOD PLAY.

Distance on the fairway is a
job for the brassie. This club
receives it's name from the brass
plate covering it's solo, and this
covering is necessary BECAUSE
the brassie has much rougher
work on the fairway than the
driver has on the tree, and for
the same reason it has a sitter
shaft.
The important difference be-
tween the two clubs lies in the
pitch and loft of the face, that
of the brassie slanting back
ward and that of the driver
being almost straight. This
slanting face of the brassie en-
ables it to lift the ball in a
way impossible for the driver.
The latter club, however, obtains

Handling Own Affairs, Cham
pion Clears Up Heavy
weight Situation
RY GEORGE BARRY.


NEW YORK, July 18.-Irrespec-
tive of the long distance bally-hoo-
ing of Jack Kearns, it seemed a
fairly well established fact today
that Jack Dempsey has taken over
the MANAGEMENT of his own affairs
and is conducting them with cold
and calculating business eye.
Those interested in things fistic
could not but be impressed today
with the comparison of Mr.. kearns'
activities before the New York box
ing commission, and the activities
Of Mr.. Dempsey in the first twenty
four hours after he landed home
from Europe.
Whereas, Manager Kearns is
persona non grata to the commits
sion, that august body even going
so far as to bar him from the Polo
Grounds recently, it took the heavy
weight champion to its bosom and
everything is now rosy so far as
Mr.. Dempsey is concerned.
The futufe of Kearns seems, at
best, to be doubtful, so far as
Dempsey is concerned. There are
few boxing men here or elsewhere
who believe that the partnership or

business after the expiration or
Kearns' present contract.
Dempsey did more to clear up the
heavyweight boxing situation In
twenty-four hours than Kearns has
done in almost the same number OF
months, On his own hook, the
champion signed with Tex Richard
to meet Harry Wills next year, and
in the meantime to meet this year
any two men the doughty Richard
selects.
The final papers will be signed on
Monday, and henceforth, it appears,
Mr.. Dempsey is to be fighter and
not a movie actor.

something of the letting mower
of the brassie from the tee from
which it is played.
The stance for the brassie is
the stance fo.' the driver. The
swing and grip of the club are
also the same except that the
grip should be firmer because
this club comes in frequent con-
tact with rought ground when
playing from bad lie. A bras
sic player must have a great
deal of attention to his manner
of hitting the ball. If it has
a fairly good lie it can be hit
easily and rhythmically without
any attempt to dig under it, for
you can trust the loft Ct the
face to pick the ball up if the
stroke is made as it should be.
