ARTIE NEHF BACK
 WITH REDS AGAIN
Star Hupler ReC0Vers From At- tack Of NeuTitiS and Joins Mates

i Orlando, Fla. March l? Lp-ln- dicated return of a clever southpaw i pitcher from baseball limbo has
 q smiling group of pollyannas.
 Artie Nchf is the pitcher rcspon- Siblc for the inauguration of all | smile week in the camp of the Reds. 1 Consigned 10 the graveyard Of de-
 parted pitchers last season h" has 1 demanded {; recount and will get il. i A great pitcher with the Braves and 1 Giants for eleven years, he develop i cd ncuritis last year and could not grasp the ball. II" was sold to the Reds in May but did little all year. pitching only nineteen innings dur ing the season.
 This spring the ncuritis has dis appeared and he has been pitching well in exhibition games and prac- tiC". If N"hf is winning pitcher, the stock of tho Reds is immediately boosted, for Cincinnati, in the rum ncr-up position last year, was only two games behind the champion Cardinals. The players believe that the addition of another experienced left handler to an already impressive staff will send them first under the wire
 Other established left handlers are Eppa RiXey and Jake May, with Roy Mceker threatening to join the select class. The experienced right hand CTS include Pete Donohuc. Carl Mays and Red Lucas. Jabonowski, former University of Michigan pitch CT and Ray Lolp, who came from St. Paul, seem 10 have an excellent chance to join the staff
 Luque. Cuba's best major league pitcher. is not in camp and there are hints that he may not be. Luque had q sensational year in 1923 but has not been able to break even since.
 With the exception of possible ld- di,ions of two young pitchers and roiuvcnated Nohf tn" team will of- fer almost the same team used last year. although George Kelly has come from the Giants in exchange for Ed Roush, long Cincinnati star. In spring training Kelly and Pipp have both appeared at first and it remains q question who will start at the position.
 The other places seem 10 be filled. although tritz has not yet reported 10 play second base. The consensus is that he will be on hand for the opening. Ford. who finished at short last year. will be back and Dresser will take care of third. Eah" pinelli and Clarke Pittengcr are in- field reserves. The Reds have likely first base prospect in Schwab. drafted from Seattle. but he faces an unreasonable task in opposing Kelly and Pipp.
 Walter Christensen. who had sensational season last year, his first year with the Reds, will take Roush's place in center and will be nanked by Eubo Dressoler and Cur ,is Walker Bill Zitzmann and Ethan Allen will be the outiicld cN- traS.
 The hard hitting Eugene Har- grave will again head the catching staff. Hargrave led the National league in hitting last season and was the first catcher to win the honor in a stretch Of years. The much travelled but still effective Val l'icl- nich will be Hargravc's first assist ant and q third catcher this year is Clyde Lorcy Sulleforth, former former Georgetown player recalled from the minors for a real major league trial.

WHERE THE FOUR-LEAF
 CLOVER GROWS
(Written specially for The Gateway
by KATHRYN G. KANE


(Written specially for The Gateway
 Volumes could be written about Alaska-the farthermost territory on the North AAmerican continent at some future date will become our forty-ninth State-the largest and richest of all.
 With proper development, the end- less resources of this unparalleled country can become the source of vast. wealth and permanent homes. The climate is invigorating and healthful and people from any zone can enjoy its winter sports, scenic beauty, it's modern life, it's industries, homes, schools, churches and litera- ture.
 Except those who actually have been here, and especially those who have lived among it's primitive peo- pie and helped to solve their v1tally important problems, most persons know very little about this Territory that has been in our possession for more than half century, and without this personal touch, it is impossible to feel the spirit of this great Amer ican Northland.
 It is mere conjecture in saying just at which corner of Alaska was laid the "cornerstone," but when Vitus Behr- ing, a Danish navigator in the Rus isan navy, who being sent on this ex- ploring expedition by Peter the Great and who discovered Alaska, stopped and rested, it was at what is now called Unalaska, the port of entry to the Boring sea. This pioneer me- tropolis of Western Alaska is noted for its many meritorious advantages, it being the only possible location for the government naval base, harbor from where the coast guard cutters can easily reach and assist ship in distress, or protect the great seal herds of the Pribilof Islands from the sea pirates who cause such wanton destruction of the mother seals and the loss by the thousands of baby seals by starvation. Besides being safe and sheltered port for all ves- sels plying between Seattle and Nome-and of these there were many in early days-it is the gateway into Bristol Bay, the oldest and greatest salmon cannery section of Alaska. Some of these colossal industries have been operated for more than 4o years and have taken out millions and millions of dollars worth of salmon, and are still producing their usual quota of canned fish.

Calf Crop and Range
In Arizona Are Good

PHOENIX, May R-Cattlemen
throughout the southeastern part oil
the state are reporting good calf
crops and are enthusiastic over the
exceptional conditions OF the range,
according to M r. Wells, agricultural
statistican for the United States de-
partment OF agriculture, who has
just returned from weeks trip
through Graham and Cochise coun-
ties.
Grass in the southeast is getting
green and with little rain will
probably develop into exceptional
feed, Mr.. Wells said. Indian wheat
is making good progress and is
providing excellent food Tor tho
range cattle.
The calf crop is very good, al
though the exact percentage OF the
crop will not be known for several
more weeks. The calves are huSkier
than usual and show promise of de-
veloping into better than usual types
of yearlings, he added.

SOUTHERN ARIZONA LEAGUE
Won Lost Pct,
WHITNEY WINS
PREAKNESS AND
$5L,3OO STAKE

BALTIMORE, May 9 lF-The gates
to Preakness fame flew open for a split
second today but that fraction of time
proved more than sufficient for Harry
Payne Whitney's BoStonian to win the
thirty-seventh renewal of Maryland's
greatest stake race in finish which
threw the $4,000 spectators into ver-
table bedlam. The time for the mile
and three siXteenths run over heavy
track was 2:01 3-5.
Brought from behind only during the
last sixteenth, the son of Broomstick-
Yankee Maid staged terrific sprint
that carried him past the leaders in
whirlwind fashion to defeat Sir Harry,
Of the Seagram stable, by half length
running away.
Whiskery, the New York sportsman's
other entry, was neck behind to take
third place, while five lengths farther
back W. j. Salmons Black Panther,
in a nip and tuck battle, nosed M.
Jeffords' Scapa Flow, the favorite, out
of any share of the purse.
Bostonian's victory enriched his
owner by $53,100, one of the largest
sums ever paid Preakness winner,
together with the famous WoodlaWn
vase, while Whiskerys showing brought
Whitney an additional $4,000. Second
place was worth $4,000 and fourth
$1,000.
Bostonian's triumph came as some
thing of surprise, for it was Whiskery
which had held the attention of racing
fans.
Unruliness of several of the three
year-olds delayed the start for several
minutes.
The field remained fairly well
punched until the clubhouse turn was
reached.
The headlong pace of the favorite
took it's toll on the turn into the home
stretch, however, Scapa Flow not only
wearing out the majority of the field
but himself weakening to the point
where he became easy prey for
Whiskery and Sir Harry, which had
been kept well in hand.
Entering the stretch Whiskery was
leading Scapa Flow, with Sir Harry and
Bostonian following in that order.
It took the final sixteenth to decide
the mettle of the thoroughbreds.
Gathering speed with every stride, Bos-
tonian passed his leaders one by one,
came nose to nose with Sir Harry when
only yards from the finish line and in
final tremendous burst of speed shot
into the lead to win going away.
