FAV0Rs THE BRIDGE

JUNEAU, Oct. 30. = Gro the Editor) =Referen to a Demo- cratic candidate, Allen Shattuck, and his idea Of bridge connect ing Douglas Island; an excellent idea, indeed. Why not place a small tax on the retail and wholesale gasoline and turn same into the road fund? The present highway should not stop at Eagle River but should continue on to Skagway and connect up with the Yukon Territory. A high way of this type would be a big asset in future development of this Territory.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-What started out in the American League as just another Yankee year may yet turn out to be the year for the Philadelphia Athletics that Connie Mack has waited IA years for.
 When the Hugmens pitching collapsed temporarily. permitting an eleven and one-half game lead to dwindle to five and one-half games within a weeks time, the baseball world began to wonder if after all the As were going to come through.
 The As. the Hard Rocks from Down Under of the American League, have taken more punish ment from the Tanks than Tom Heeney did from Gene Tunney. The referee saved Heeney from further abuse. Will it, be a case of just prolonged suffering for the courageous Mackmen?
 When Champion Gene found the range of Toms chin and opened up target practice, it didn't phase the Anzac's boring in tactics one bit. The only parallel in this years major sports is the case of the As. The Tanks have defeat ed the Athletics in 13 of the IS games played, but after each col lision the Hard Rocks of baseball blinked their eyes and squared off to trounce their next opponents. On July 30 they had won -23 out of their last 29 games. So now they have more than a mere math- ematical chance of overtaking the worlds champions.
 While the New York club grad ually has been slipping, the Phila delphia nine has been slowly inn proving, and it has a god enough rating to lead any league. Just few days ago Connie Mack's ag- gregation was three per cent ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals, which are rated as somewhat of a ball team in the National League.
 Baseball men believe that the month of August will tell the story. If the Athletics can whit tie down that once seemingly in- surmountable lead of the Hugmen they will have first-hand oppor- tunity to wipe it out altogether in September, for the two clubs have four-game series booked for the Yankee Stadium.
 Showing amazing comeback pow CTS after taking repeated lickings from the Yankees, the As have

The race is an extremely hard one, three miles and a half dotted with 22 hurdles and the winners generally have been re- cruited from the older generations of horses. when the bones are solid providing their wind is sound.
 Don Zuniga hung up the very fast time of five minutes and forty seconds, nearly record time.
 Now it is asserted that the win her. because in his year one. was grafted with glands of a three year old, is really a six year old despite the fact that the date of his birth is 1924.
 Six years olds entered in the Grand Hurdles race carried 14S pounds. Don zuniga. officially a four year old. was only asked to shoulder 132.
