Will Take Up Collection

Due to the fact that the basket ball games in Wrangell have not been very well attended the Boys Basket Ball team of Wrangell High is in debt.
 A short while after the opening of tLe basketball season, eight B. E. suits were purchased by the boys to become the property of Wran- gel Hi. but due to the poor attend anee at the basketball games the bill for these suits could not be paid.
 A solution for this problem is to ask the people of Wrangell 10 con tribute towards paying for these suits. The cost of these suits amounts to about eighty dollars. and the boys will start trying to collect this amount this week.

JUNEAU MAYOR UNSUCCESSFUL
 IN SEARCH FOR SISTER

J. J. Connors, mayor of Juneau, has been on a trip to his old home in Nova Scotia during which he travelled something over 4,500 miles in search of a sister who had been adopted by a Quebec family after his parents died when they were children. Ali trace of the sis ter and the family who adopted her were lost and for many years Mayor Connors has tried by every means in his power to locate this sister. His present trip was as futile as his other attempts. and he has left advices received by friends of the Juneau man here. and he has left Nova Scotia on the return trip, ex- pecting to sail north from Seattle on one of the vessels leaving this week.

Johnson's Side of the Story

CHICAGO-Th Chicago Tribune says Ban Johnson openly accuses Commissioner Landis of 'tarring" the regulations of Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker. Johnson said he had ae- cepted the summons of Landis and would tell all about it at a special meeting to be held next Monday.
 The Tribune quotes Johnson ae saying:
 1T know Ty Cobb is not crooked player. If that's the explanation he seeks, I will gladly give it, but it is from Landis that Cobb should de mand an explanation. The Ameri- can League busted Cobb but Landis broadcast his mistakes. The league is a business proposition. When the directors found two employees whom they thought were not seryin'. them right, they had to let them go. As long as I am president Of the American league neither one Of them will ever manage to play or the team"

YEAR OLD LAD
 WINS S25, 1000 PRIZE

WILMINGTON, ealff.= George Young. a seventeen year old boy from Toronto who won the $25,o William Wrigley prize for the Catalina ocean marathon Of = miles Sunday morning, beat his way to California to participate. and arrived there broke.
 Norman Ross. Chicago giant, was a close second. Summers of Cali fornia led a trio three miles back Mrs. ottie Schoemmel, New York woman swimmer, abandoned the race early after she had been seized with a eramp, She and 12 other women, most of whom were wear ing bathing quits of grease. and S9 men began the race at 1I:21 A. M. Saturday for the $25,o00 prize of fered by William Wrigley, Jr. Less than % of the original 102 contes- tants were left as Young took the lead, which he maintained until the finish reaching Point Vincente at S:06 A. M. Sunday. his time being 15 hours and 45 minutes.
 Margaret Hauser of Long Beach was in the water 19 and half hours. She came within a mile and half of the mainland
 Martha Stager of Portland, Ore, although she swan ten minutes longer than Hauser, was compelled to give up four miles from the goal.
 Peter Myer of Cincinnati gave up at 4:15 when a mile and a half from the goal.
 Wrigley awarded s2,500 each to Hauser and stager because of their pluck, being the last two women to drop out. These prizes, together with Young's $25,0o0 were award ed in Los Angeles Tuesday.
 Steadily, almost with the monot- ony of an engine piston, with his sinewy right arm flashing the crawl stroke, the young Canadian had risen and fallen hour after hour in the long water grind, when he encountered an unfavorable tide a mile from the shore. He increas- ed the power of his stroke, but watchers could not see him gain an inch.
 He rested a minute, swung back into action. and held his own until the tide reached the limit of it's flow, when he shot ahead again, steadily cutting the distance down. Kelp loomed ahead. He fought through that. "Come on. George . the shore crowd yelled eneourag- ingly.
 Suddenly Young's shoulders ap- peared above the waves. His arms ceased their piston-stroke. He had won.

TOWN BASKETBALL TEAM HAVE THREE BIG GAMES
 SCHEDULED TWO WEEKS
@nln1nnicafedl

The local boys have three of their most important games on the schedule to be played off in the next two weeks. They are with Peterst drg and Metlakatla.
 Wrangen sent it's team repre- senting the town down to Metla- katla and Up to Petersburg. In both of these communities the team was treated with the greatest respect and the hospitality of both towns was very generous. They made guarantees to our team and lived up to them. We have made guar antees to both of these teams and 1t is up to the people to see that we are able to live up to our guar antees and not give Wrangen a bad name in sports in Alaska after our predecessors have made such re- markable achievements in sports manship with the other towns,
 We are offering three good games to the people of Wrangell The first will be a game played with the local boys from Peters burg in the school gym on Friday night at 7s30. This promises to be a good game as Petersburg will have a new lineup to erase the de- feat they received earlier in the season from the locals. The next two will be played with the Metla- katla town team, the undefeated team of southeastern Alaska. The locals were defeated in two games at Metlakatla but the score was such that when the conditions are reversed and the visitors have to play in a new hall and after travel ing, these ought to be two of the best games played in the gym this year.
 The locals will play Metlakatla on Wednesday night and then the visitors are going on to Petersburg to play two games. They will re turn here and play the town team again on Saturday The locals will be the hosts of the Metlakatla team at dance in the gym after the game.
 This will complete the town teams schedule for this year with the exception of tie to be played off with the high school team. The local boys are under obligations to these two visiting teams and it is no more than fair that the com munity attend these games and pro- mote the sportsmanship of the town. The gym will be comfort able and there is always room for loyal Wrangellite who attends and supports the towns teams.
 Now don't forget these dates: Friday, the Fist, Petersburg locals vs. Wrangell locals. Wednesday, the 26th, Metlakatla ys. Wrangell locals. Saturday. the 29th, Metla- katla vs. Wrangell locals. Last, but not least, a big dance after the game Saturady night.
