Treasure in Hold = Maybe

Treasure III Hold = MayDe
 There is fantastic tale that sail ors tell about the craft, that some where in the dark depths of her hold are bars of gold to the sum of $8O,0O0. Of the $1OO,OO0 that was stolen on a trip from Alaska in 1910 $2O,O0O was recovered ashore, but the thieves were not able to land the rest, so the story goes, and so slipped the bars into the hold of the ship.
 Be that as it may, the ship that carried sled dogs and pet bears, wild women and wild wolves, along with her treasure cargo in the old days, is still sturdy; her captain and only commander since she was launched in Humboldt Bay thirty-one years ago, is the only of the crew remaining.

 Captains Word Was Law
 Exciting days ana dangerous, those gold rash days declared the captain, the tall. white haired and unsmiling master whose word was the only law among the toughest outfit that ever thronged north at the smell of gold "They drank champagne like water and every morning after breakfast there'd be 75 or 100 empty bottles lying on the table"
 Among the famous kings of the Klondike who shipped aboard the Humboldt and were put ashore on the rocks to hike over the passes to the Yukon, were such men as Char lie Anderson, the Lucky SWede, who sat up in his cabin every trip south to guard the piles of gold bars stacked all around him; Kings" Mcdonald, LaDue and "Soapys Smith, ring leader of the skagway "'bad men,"
 The kings are long since gone and their gold spent and stolen and hidden away and it now appears that the famous old Humboldt is also about to pass from the picture. In any event she is just now under a cloud. In the vernacular of the shipping world she has been "plas- tered" for debt.

to start a contest unless the Yankees
pitching problem becomes extremely
shaky. Giard on his showing this
year can hardly be considered beyond
possible relief duty.
In case any of the starting pitchers
get into serious trouble. Wiley Moore
is certain to be rushed in as life
saver. 1t is question how many
times he will be used in the rescue
role. He is the most effective finisher
since the days of Ed Walsh, because
of his wicked "sinker."
A bright spot in the Yankees de-
Tense is the possibility of Bengough
catching the majority of games. He
is of the Schalk type, and seems to
exact every ounce of labor from the
Yankees staff. Grabowski and Collins
also handle pitchers satisfactorily. and
their hitting and throwing ability may
cause Higgins to divide some i'm
portant work between them.
From Yankee viewpoint, the series
seems to be a matter of banging out
hits that range from singles to home
r-., and a hope that their fingers
can hold the National League entry to
minimum of hits and runs.

his circuits championship.
1t was the seventeenth time since

proximate this record, the nearest be-
ing Cleveland with four batting titles,
the contributions of Napoleon Lajoie

Detroit's individual batting superior
ity in the circuit is attributable chiefly,
however, to Ty Cobb, who won the
title IL times. This year, Cobb's first
in any but Tiger suit, he batted
fifth in the league. being, next to his
teammate, AL Simmons, the most de-

PITCHING.
CUYLER IS UNLIKELY
TO PLAY IN SERIES
BY the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, October g.
HaZen OXikD Cuyler, star outfielder
and storm center of the Pirates, is
not expected to start in the world
series or take any part in the games,
unless a sudden emergency arises. in
spite of the protests of many Pitts
burgh fans and the feeling among ex-
perts that the clubs outer works
would be strengthened by Kiki's pres
ence.
While declining to discuss Cuyler's
case during the last few days, Bush
indicated he stood pat on the lineup
that clinched the pennant, with Clyde
Pooch) Barnhart holding down left
field.
The Cuyler episode Is one Of the
strangest in base ball, involving diff
ferences with Bush, disciplinary ac-
ton that included a $50 fine for Guy
lers failure to slide to second one day
and later intarnment on the bench
for a player who was world series
hero in 1925 and rated among the
games greatest outfielders. 1t has
split the fans into two camps, one
pro-Cuyler and the other pro-Bush.
The hub of the dispute is under
stood to hinge about the outfielder's
superstition against batting second,
where Bush placed him. Kiki. who
had batted third before, acquired a
mental hazard when moved up a
notch. He struck slump, argued
with Bush and then warmed the
bench, so the story goes. but there
are many conflicting versions.

over the last month are accepted as

Yankees. though minus pennant In

their full strength into the fray in

The secret of Yankee success lay
chiefly in their bats, where Ruth and
his mates compiled an average of

chiefly on the pitching prowess of

not been quite as effective as George
