MT. Leo Nabokoff, who can boast of the distinction of having hauled down the Russian flag at the time of the transfer of the territory of the United States, arrived here on the last Georgia. MT. Nabokoff, at the time of the transfer, was in the em- ploy of the Russian Fur company. His mission here is to take charge of the Russian archives now in the library here and to translate the his toric actions of the ancient Russian navigators who were the first to make voyages of discovery in, and take hold of the great northern land.

The steam drawers are being oper- ated on Otter creek, tributary of Nome river. About a quarter of a mile above the mouth, Calvin and party are putting down few holes and will pile up vast amount of dirt during the coming winter. Another thawer is being operated on bench farther upstream. The pay streak on Otter creek is very crooked and in places scattered, and is mined both as a winter and summer proposition. It is generally conceded that the pay on this creek is part of the ancient beach streak that runs along the low foothills of the coast range as far as Cape Nome Pay has been found al- most on top of high knoll about half a mile from the mouth of Nome river.

F|RP0 IS NOT THE
 WILD BULL HE WAS
Poor Showing Against ErminiO Spala Sets Fight Fans Talking

Buenos Aires, April R,-In the opinion of followers of the boxing game in Argentina. Luis Firpo Is not The Wild Bull' he was when he sailed northward several years ago with heavyweight pugilistic 9ham- pionship aspirations in his mind. This opinion is the outcome of Fir pos comparatively bad showing Sat urday night at the Parque Romano in a l2 round bout with Erminio Spallo European heavyweight cham pion. Firpo, obtained the decision but. according to those who wit messed the bout, he failed to show any Of his old time mcttle.
 Although the Argentine heavy weight had the better of 35 pounds over the Italian tho latter several times carried the battle to him and the bell alonn gave Firpo badly needed rest In the sixth round Firpo, who fer the first time in his career expcrjmented with his left, punished Snalla. about the body and head and had the Italian groggy. IL seemed 10 those at the ringsidc that he would moi be able to weather the storm. Gamely, however he stuck 1t out. but he had bellows to mend after the gong sounded.
 In the eighth Spalla had recuper- ated from tho punishment he had taken, and with hard swings and straight punches he sent Firpo 10 the ropes. The Argentine apparent. ly was glad 10 hear the clang Of the bell. for he appeared dazed.
 The sixth and eight rounds were me only two of the twelve in which there was really any action of an outstanding nature shown. There was considerable clinchine and wrestling throughout which irritated the spectators. from whom cries of tango meaning fake, arose.
 It was considered by some of the observers that Firpo's use of his left hand got him nothing. They thought it seemed 10 slow him up; that it initiated against the use of his good right, which carved his way through the ranks of the lesser lights in pugilism to q match with Jack Dempsey,
 There was no doubt that during the encounter Firpo took lot of punishment When the session end ed he emerged from the ring with q beautiful black eye and q badly swollen nose. from which Spalla had drawn blood.
 Tho sports writers are Of the opin- ion that Firpo has improved as a boxer thronugh better use Of his previously neglected left. They think. however. that in developing the left tho big Argentine has lost q great amount oS his former drir- ing power with his right.
 Whether Firpo is to make an in- cursion into Canada and later the United States this summer remains to be determined.

Tho chap who batted the last got a sacrifice hit and the one who hatted the first got nothing. yet the run could not have scored had 1t not been for his play. The rules committee logically decided that if ono fly helped to score n run, so did the other. And so 1t did. and so 1t will.
 If the change docs anything 1t may assist some batters 10 q slightly low CT percentage. but if thero arc any who hold that such sacrifice are not sacrifices. then lot tho rule about sacrifice flies be abolished in its en- tirety, If batsman advances d runner by any kind of play which is perfectly played in tho field the batsman is entitled to credit, and that is as certain as spring.

Saxe and Hjerpe kept up a wonderful passing game and fed the forward all night long, Hjerpo kept stride with him in the first half but Haber beat him out In scoring by two baskets. "Chie" Larson, Just to show that he has not forgotten how the game goes, went the entire length of the floor three times to cage goals. Joe Luke was playing In high and shot in a number of ne-handed beauties. Johnny Saxe got in one that was as pretty a shot as has been seen at the "Y" this year,
 Winsted showed lashes of speed and form at times, but the team was no match for the local com- bination. Gurin and r. smith were the stars of the visitors.

 If the batsman gets to first on a wild pitch 1t will be an error in the future, It should always have been. There is no reason in tho world why the pitcher should not stand for any thing which puts batsman on first base,
 If the catcher musses up a striko- out the pitcher must get credit for what he accomplished, or rather would have accomplished with proper cooperation, It was found that scorers were depriving the pitcher of strike out when the thatcher muffed the ball.
 The stolen Base
 The stolen base rule is SO modified that tho scorer may use his judg- mont and give stolen base If the runner has shown an active play that is baifling 10 the catcher. With all '''is iido bNNh upHN lo base running, scorers have been in the habit of not giving the runner on first q stolen base when it was evident that he was trying to draw q throw that would help q runner to score from third. If there ever was intent in play to advance a runner 1t was in the action of the man on first, who has recorded with nothing simply because the scorers followed q rulo exactly as 1t read.

 The sacrifice hit rule has been changed 10 read. when no ono is out or when but one man is out tho bastman bits q fly ball that is caught but results in base runner advanc- ing on tho catch" The change is In the words base runner advancing" Frequently, or at least often enough

 Britain Industrial basketball league will be settled for the present sea-
 son at the Y. M. C. A. tomorrow night when the P. Ss r. Corbin five
 stacks up against the R. & E. quin- tet in the deciding game of the year. Both teams are tied for first
 place. both having won out from the Fafnir Ave which stood at the head of the list until the two leaders downed them on successive Tuesday nights, This will probably be the closest and most fiercely fought game Of
 the year because both teams are admittedly on a par as to playing ability. The Corbin team has handicap to overcome when meet ing the Russwin crew, because the two defeats which are chalked up against it have been at the hands of the team which plays them for the championship tomorrow night. The R. & E. quintet is ready for torrid battle. one that will make the Corbin team step to keep in the running, while Harry Glnsberg has his charges all primed for q tough battle and no matter what the out come. both teams will know full we'll that they have been through a bitter siege when the game is tin- ished.
 The Corbin rooters are boosting that their team tomorrow night will show the basketball world that it Is possible to overcome jinx even though that jinx has stuck. They scoff at the claim that the R. & E. team has the Indian sign" on their charges and they boast a different result tomorrow night than on the two other occasions the teams have met.
 Probably the largest crowd Of the season will be on hand to sec this battle tomorrow as ii will mark the closing Of the league play also. The regular schedule was finished last week. but because ot th" tie, a play-off has been found necessary.

The National Guards stand today as champions of the basketball world Tn New Britain by virtue of their win Saturday night over.the Ameri- can Legion team in the third and final game Of the city championship series. For a time while tho game was on. 1t appeared as though the Guards were destined to come out on the short end of the score at the final whistle, but a human tornado, which had been held in leash through a foolish feeling of self consciousness. was loosed in the per- son of Gierochowski and with four field baskets and two foul goals to his credit. he put the margin of vic- tory for the Guards on q safe shelf.
 GierochowsN has had only a slight chance this past season to show his wares to the local baketball public and in those few times when he was in the game, he was far from i'm pressivc. Saturday night, he got the opportunity to play for a good length of time and after he had re- covered from the first feelings of stage fright. he started to play q game that fairly ran the Legion players off their feet.
