NATIONALLY KNOWN ARCHI- TECT INTERESTED SEW
 ARD MEMORIAL

The proposed memorial to Will liam H. Seward, to be erected in Seward, Alaska, received added i'm petus by reason of the apprecia- tive interest shown by Eric Fisher Wood, one of the architects who designed and supervised the erect ion of the Harding Memorial, re- gently completed in Marion, Ohio.
 Colonel Wood, visiting Seward upon a return from a Kenai Pen insula moose and mountain sheep hunt, looked over the proposed sites for the location of the Sew ard Monument, or Memorial, gave his attention to some of the sug- gestions under consideration, and promptly declared his interest in the project, and offered the ser vices of his internationally known firm of architects of Pittsburgh, Pa, in aid of the required initiatory steps.
 Colonel Wood expressed the opin- ion a memorial to William H. Sew ard should typify and portray as far as possible the tremendous vatness of the potential resources of Alaska, give emphasis to the stateSmanlike vision of MT. Sew ard; that the memorial should be as massive and impregnable in ap- pearance as Alaska itself. He also stated; This is my second trip to Alaska. I visited the Territory about 19 years ago. am impressed with the resources of Alaska. To me there appears a surety of it's progress, relentless, memorable, and as unchangeable through the cen turies as the pyramids of Egypt.

It was an evening long to be re- membered with guests coming from far out along the line of the Alas ka Railroad. Practically every one in Seward who could get there without the aid of crutch was on hand and when festivities were at their height every automobile and "Tin Lizzie" in town was parked on 1 the surrounding streets of the cid Dreamland where bright lights and music were pouring an enticing flood
 It turned out to be just what it had been advertised as near as the Days of '49" as the committee could make it and with the "mak- ings" furnished, the crowd went ahead to complete the allusion.
 They came in the habiliaments of the wild and woolly days but were politely requested to check their guns at the bar, as the bar tender wise in his day and genera ton, wasn't taking any chances. He had met crowds something like that before. Besides the committee had spent a lot of time and trouble fixing up the decorations and he didn't want them shot down on the heads of the timid Chechakos.
 AS the guests begap to filter Ill the dealers at the roulette, the faro, the chuck-a luck and the crap tables perked up right smart even while they assumed their poker" faces and resolved that the house was not going to lose money on their deal even if some of the roysterers had million or two in their kicks.

NEW YORK, Feb .21.-With the
departure of Babe Ruth for the
southland this week, the baseball
season of 1928 may be said to be
officially under way.
Until we are supplied with Stats
tics concerning the Babes weight,
girth and diet, it is difficult to work
up interest in the doings of the
humber members of the horsehide
profession.
Until the Babes bombing "harya,
kid?" sounds among the orange
groves of st. Petersburg, baseball
conversation falls a bit fiat.
When we read that even battery
men of the Boston Red SoX or the
first squad of Brooklyn pitchers are
on the way to training camp, or
that the New York Giants are freez-
ing in Arkansas, we are inclined to
ask: 'What of it?"
But let the Babe bundle his mas
sive person into drawing room
Ruth always travels in drawing
roon-and that's one train that is
going somewhere.
The Babes rubber shirt encases
more real baseball than good many
ball parks.
Accompanying Ruth on this occa-
sion will be Henry Louis Gehrig,
first baseman Of the New York
Yankees and no mean hitter on his
own behalf.
The affection existing between this
stalwart pair is a real and rather
surprising one. Where one naight an

Ed Defeats
Stecher in
Mat Battle
Lewis Takes Big Wrestling
Match Before 5000 at
St. Louis.
BY HECTOR PERRIER

OnILcu 1'teSS SLan Correspondents
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21.-At the end
of several hours of alternately in
teresting and dull wrestling Ed
(Strangler) Lewis, worlds heavy
weight title claimant, defeated Joe
(Scissors) Stecher Monday night.
Lewis was the aggressor through
out. while Stecher appeared con-
tent to take the defensive, except for
Sc flashing seconds of the second
fall.
Lewis weighed 22S pounds, Ste
cher. 900. Both men promptly en-
tered a head-tugging game that
persisted for twenty-five minutes.
For approximately two hours
Stecher alternately broke the body
hold and permitted Lewis to regain
it until, at the two-hour- and six
teen-minute mark, Lewis succeeded
in pinning Stecher's shoulders to
the mat with bar arm lock and
body block.
After a twenty-minute intermis-
sion, Stecher returned to the ring
and brought the 1900 spectators to
their feet when he tipped Ed to the
mat with virtually the same hold
Lewis had used in gaining the first
fall. 1t required only fifty-siX sec
onds for Stecher to place the match
on a falls-all basis.
The body-hold battle ultimately
sapped Stecher's strength, and after
twelve mintes and fifty seconds of
the third session. Lewis, using a
combination toe-hold and arm-lock,
pressed his firing opponents Shout
ders to the mat.
