New York, Sept. 12.-(R-The
Yankees not only are in . class ~
themselves this year so far as the
American league is concerned, but
they rank unquestionably among tho
greatest teams of all time, in the o..
timation Of Connie Mack.
This years pcnnant race has been
another big disappointment to the
tall tutor, as his own team failed to
meet expectations this season, but he
showed no hesitation in handing the
palm to the walloping men Of Miller
Higgins.
.Yanks Have Everything
1.-THE Yankees have everything"
said Connie. "People perhaps think
Of them mostly rs great bunch Of
hittcrs. Of course, they arc. prob
ably the greatest that was ever got
ten together. But they have good
pitchers. too, and reserve strength
Of such calibcr that there is no APP
parent stacking in the teams pace
when regulars are forced out or
pitchers show signs Of weakening.
They arc a smart club, too. They can
play any type of game. They can
slug team into submission or beat
them BY one run in tight game.
They can run the bases and they
have great defense. What more
could they havc?"
when we started out this season.
/ counted pretty heavily - our
pitchers" Connie went on. II thought
we would get just about the best
pitching in the league. based on what
my men had shown the season be-
fore. But it didn't measure.dp to my
hopes.
Couldn't Stop Yankees
"That is chiefly the reason why we
didn't make u closer race of 1t. But
granting even that my pitching had
come through and that everything
else had gone we'll, l am frank to ad-
nit, that neither we or any other
club, could have stopped the Yankees.
They would have won under any cir
cumstaEces." :.
OF the two Yankee big Berthas,
Lou Gehrig is now more dangerous
batsman than Babe Ruth, in Mack's
estimation.
III were a pitcher, would rath-
or face Ruth than Cchrig. The Babe
is the harder hitter of the two; that
is, he pets greater distance, greater
than anybody the game has ever
known. But Gchrig is more con-
sistcnt. He is liable to hit anything
anywhere. But there isn't much to
choose. Either one can break up a
ball game"

GENE BARS EVERYONE

lake villa, ILLINOIS, Sept. 12.-dA)
Secret training, hidden even from
Manager Billy Gibson and newspaper
men. is Gene Tunncy's program from
today on for the remaining 10 days
preparation TO defend his heavy
weight championships.

said Tunney.

the entire world know the style of
attack am going to use in the
Dempsey fight. | made study of
Dempsey when he defeated Jack
Sharkey and intend to fight him &C
cording to the deductions | have made
after seeing that fight"
The champion said the secret work
out was part of his training which
he had followed for several years.
Travels Dizzy Pace
In midsummer heat. yesterday, he
travelled dizzy pace through five
rounds. More than 1000 fans, men
women and children, the largest
crowd to see the champion in train
ing since he arrived at the Cedar
Crest club, watched Tunney speed
through two snappy sessions with
Jack Williams, and then punch Billy
Vidabeck around as usual for three
more. The rounds were shortened to
two minutes each because Of tho
heat.
Before the boxing he did four full
rounds with the light and heavy bags
to warm up, but he went to church
instead of doing his daily five miles
on the road in the morning.

his opponent and the match went to
rs holes before it was won. Cox
took 149 strokes, eight over par, for
the 81 holes, wniic Cook took ISL
strokes, or 10 over par.
Driving Of both players was phc-
nomenal, although Cooks drives reg
ularly Outdistanced those Of Cox by
IS to 40 yards. Cox was in slightly
better form on his approaching and
putting, however and most Of the
holes were won on the greens. Each
player had only two poor drives dur
ing the entire match and each missed
three short puts.
Last Round Is Best
Playing their best golf in the last
round of the match, Cox made a 81

while Cooks card for the eight holes
showed par 33.
Although Cook made three brides

the 454-yard No. 5 hole on the final
round.
On the morning round, driving
against Il strong wind, Cook was hole

past the 4OC-yard stake. Cox topped
his drive and the ball went only about
12O yards, after which his second
shot kicked into the rough about $50
yards from the green. Using spoon
on his third shot, Cox sent his ball
out of the rough to lie few yards

become known. Last word from Fin
ger was that he was improving, but
was still a sick man. At the athletic
office, however, plans are being laid
on the assumption that the frosh
coach will be in shape to 90 to work
within a few weeks, possibly at the
outset of the year.
Meanwhile, Dr. Spears has filled
the vacancy on his coaching staff left
by the resignation Of Potsy Clark by
securing the appointment of Arthur
j. Bergman, star N0tre Dame quar-
terback in 1915, 1916, and 1919. Berg

Bergman got the ball and wiggled
through the entire Army team for q
touchdown that won the game by q

the military authorities that hi
coached an army unit during II and

1919 he went back to school. After

Mechanical College, going from there
to Dayton.

Doc Spears says that as soon al
he finds out what Bergman knows
about football he expects him to be
right tol'able Of help out on the
practice field. especially in the de.
velopment Of that shifty, shiftless
shift which conference teams have
adopted for the coming autumn. DR.

Even the current reduced annual
value OF the mineral production
from Alaska is practically two and
a half times the price originally
paid for the entire Territory.
Viewed broadly, the mining con-
ditions throughout the Territory
are encouraging, not only for the
continuation of production at the
present rate but for gradual in
crease. Many of the operators have
important development work in pro-
gress to put their properties into
more efficient working condition,
and capital for this work and for
new equipment is being made avail
able.
The improvements already
brought about are reflected by some
increase in the production of gold,
and further developments under
way that should be still more pro-
ductive in 1927, though it will be
several years before all these pro-
iects will have full effect in in.

the Interior, is almost $1O,OOO,OOO
& year.. Of course, that takes in
to account the various, War De-
partment operations, the naval op-
erations, the Geological Survey, and
the sort of hting, which reach in
to considerable money. Then, of
course, there is the railroad which
is now in process Of construction
or completion. That has been a
large item. If that were taken
out, the amount would be reduced
materially.
Mr.. Carpenter. Does not Alaska
need trails more than roads?
Mr.. Sutherland. That is what
1 am saying. Perhaps they should
not be exactly trails, because they
would need roads so that in
frozen weather they could haul
with their sleds. A horse path
might be considered trail.
Mr.. Robinson, l think you should
have dirt roads and bridges.
Mr.. Sutherland. Yes, sir. When
you consider this appropriation and
this situation, you must bear in
mind that the States that are bene-
fciaries of this act have road sys-
TENS that were established years
ago and that are much superior to
anything that we have in Alaska.
For instance, if you take the State
of Iowa, that State has had a
system of roads for probably 40
or SO years. I know that 40 or
80 years ago the roads of Iowa
were far better than the roads we
have in Alaska today. All that
they need to expend to-day is
money for repairs and small i'm
provements to make them perfect
roads, while we are asking for
nothing of that kind here in AL
aska. We have no cement roads
there, and we do not need any.
We will probably never ask for
any cement roads, but we do ask
for q system of roads into the min
ing sections and the mountain
sections of Alaska that will aid in
