zens called by the Parent Teachers
Association expressed it's approval
of the plan for building a community
athletic center. Representatives of
nearly all fraternal and business or
CARNATIONS were present and pledg-
ed individual organizations to lend
aid every possible way.
Anchorage Lodge of the Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks, in
order to accommodate applicants for
membership will send delegation
to Fairbanks on March Is, according
to announcement recently received.
Many prospective members are in
! waiting, it is said, and it is believed
that one of the largest classes in
the history Of the lodge will be ac-
cepted.
At a Meeting held in Fairbanks,
the employees of the Fairbanks Ex-
ploration Co. completed the organi-
cation of the Fairbanks Exploration

officers were elected: President, H.

rotary, H. L. Degen; Sergeant-at-
Arms, D. C. Case.
Stricken with heart failure, Ed
Ellis, Fairbanks express man and
son of J. o. Ellis, pioneer merchant,
died at his home this week. He was
found on the street by Ed Kehoe
and another person passing by, and
was in an unconscious condition.
He was rushed to his home, which
he had been approaching from down
town and had nearly reached, and
was dying when a physician arrived.
Considering the admitted scarcity
of aviation fields in the United
States, despite the fact that CONNER

strides in the past few years, it is
more or less illustrating to find on

port, total of 80 landing fields. All
of them are located, however, in
southwestern northwestern and
northeastern parts of the Territory,
none in the southeastern part.
The home Of Mr.. and Mrs. P. J.
Kelley in Anchorage was the scene

many years in the McCarty district,
from which section she went to the
states, returning to Alaska about a
month ago. Mr.. Watkins is a pion-

fled with number of mining com
munities of Alaska before locating in

sluggers Cy Young was forced
to face. Here are a few of
them: Arson, Brouthers, Sam
Thompson, Lajoie, Delehanty,
Duffy. Burkett, Brodie, Keller,
Kelly, Tenny, Tucker, ETC., etc.
And no modern team, in the
opinion of John McGraw, could
compare with the old Baltimore
Orioles" with their marvellous
science.
johnson deserves all he car
get but Cy Young exceIled him
in games won and in pitching
no hit games. And so a tribute
to that great warrior Young.
"And let us not forget fold
Jack Quinn, who despite the
fact that he is several years
older that johnson, is the Ath-
letics leading pitcher and has
won twice as many games this
year as "Sir Walter"
Of course, in that Jack Quinn
crack, Mr.. Kennedy will grant
that Mr.. Quinn has enjoyed
good health twice as much Of
the season as has Johnson, and
so let us go to the next chunk
Of correspondence, but not first,
however, without thanking Mrs.
Anna A. Whitman for her kind
letter.
If we slopped-over a bit on
Walter Johnson last week, it
may be attributed to the fact
that of all the figures now or
ever on the sporting armament,
Walter is our one weakness.
The others are all plain Ruths
and Cobbs and Milans and An
sons to us. And like Mrs.
Whitman, baseball starts and
finishes with Walter johnson,
so far as our fancies are con-
cerned.
Now did you ever hear of
Dorsey Fultz? OF course you
old-time Westinghouse have,
but to the newer generation,
let us explain that Dorsey
is Washington's most notorious
uncaught criminal. Dorsey es-
capped through a sewer after
killing his last victim of record,
and never has been heard of
since, until today. introducing,
Mr.. Dorsey Fultz, who will
speak for two minutes to the
listeners:

Mr.. Pete Daily said the Post
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-08-15

scooped all the folks by giving
the first article on signing of
Mr.. Walter Johnson.
"He explained they got Mr..
Cantillon in the editors room
at the Post and when he told
about Mr.. johnson coming here
they sent Mr.. Daily out for
likker and when he brought
back the likker, Mr.. Cantillon
got wound up and forget to
tell The Herald.
DO you know this Pete
Daily? Do you really think
Mr.. Cantillon, who had sence
enough to get Mr.. johnson,
would have been foolish enough
to trust Mr.. Daily to bring back
likker?
And if Mr.. Cantillon had that
little sense, do you think Daily
ever came back? If this is
right Mr.. Cantillon would have
sent a rabbit to bring back
cabbage.
'When Pete Daily ever brings
back anybody else's likker the
Washington police force will
have me locked up.

E. Kennedy, BIS Conn. Ave.
wishes to say a word for Den
ton T. ICY" Young in these days
of Walter Johnson praise-sing-
ing. 1t is our opinion that
ICY" needs none to exploit his
fame, for the good old record
books tell loudly and plainly Of
"Cy's" achievements afield for
% long, arduous years.
However, Mr.. Kennedy pirates
of items the record books avoid,
such as the conditions under
which ICY" amassed his re-
markable records. Harken, We
then to one E. Kennedy:
Records of ICY" Young show
he was more consistent than
even the peerless Water John
son. In 20 seasons Young won
400 games or virtually Is a year
on an average. Young pitched
3 no-hit games against john
sons one and not a runner
reached first in one of them.
With the exception Of johnson,
Cy famed more batters than
any other pitcher. Young won
over 500 games, moreover.
"Fans of the present lose
sight of the fact that pitchers
back in the nineties worked
under a far greater handicap
than those of today.
ICY Young had no foul strike
rule to help him and for many
years, during his reign, a
catcher did not stand right be-
hind the bat. This was a help
to a batter, as q bunt in front
of the plate meant sure hit.
"A pitcher in those times
worked under a great mental
strain as crowds were antago-
nistic and frequently teams were
stoned by hoodlums, following
close contests and were forced
to huddle in the bottom of the
bus on their way back to the
hotel for fear of being injured.
