DUDLEY HEADS.
GOLF PACK

Ed Dudley. of Los Angeles, youthful
member of the United States Ryder
Cup team, had a three stroke lead
on his nearest competitors today as
the "a qualifiers in the $4,000 La
GorCe open golf tourney teed off for
the final So holes of play. The Coast

holes Yesterday got him off to a run

Dudlay's closest rivals for the first
prize of S., 900 in cash and 81 900 in
gold plate were Light Horse Harry
Cooper, of Buffalo; Horton Smith.
youngest member of the Ryder Cup
team, and Billy Burke, the North
and South open champion.
They were tied for second
place with l46 strikes apiece.
One stroke behind them were
two other sterling golfers
Johnny Farrell, the defending
champion, and Gene SaraXen,
his buddy.
Dudley. who tied for the medal
prize in the qualifying round, was
quoted this morning at to to win.
Sarazen and Horton Smith were the
favorites at 3l2 to l. the support

convinced by Dudley's brilliant per-
formances.

an outside chance this morning. be-

The new leader is highly en-
thusiastic over his prospects, but
refuses to become definite in his
predictions. He is content to stand
on the cryptic statement, "we'll be
up there"
The players are more enthus-
iastic. They definitely pick them
selves to win the pennant. Calm
critics. however. who have watched
the development of the team, are
hopeful that the Tigers will get into
the first division. Even this would
he distinct triumph for the fiery
manager. for the Tigers finished
sixth last season.
la at least two particulars
the Tigers will be stronger.
New aud youthful recruits make
it certain that the outfit will he
fast. This will be something
new and will furnish a big
contrast to the customary
heavyfOOted team that has
plOdded slowly along for de-
trOit.
Another helpful circumstance is
that the Tigers will have three
good southpaw pitchers, if early
indications are verified. Whitehin.
potentially a great southpaw, but
who had an Indifferent eason last
year, appears to have returned to
the form that made him famous
TWO years ago. Yde, the veteran
National Lacquer, is showing fine
form and papears to be a fixture,
while Frank Barnes, a youngster
obtained from Houston, has i'm
pressed Manager Bucky to such an
extent that he will be retained and
it is expected he will be used in
turn whenever a Southpaw is
needed.
Thus, in two respects at least
the team will be strengthened
where it most needed strength ADD
to these features the fact that q
raj. practical manager will be IN
charge for the first time recently,
and the prospects of the team are
greatly brightned.
Early indications are that the
hitting power will be considerably
in proved. The additional speed IF
the new men in getting to first
should add to the teams clubbing
average and also. increase its scor-
ing ability. Last year the heavy
Ciubbers got on the bases, but. for
the most part, remained there.
The club set a record for men
left ON bases, but Manager
AOns HAs-
youngsters to find their way
home more frequently.
In Stone, Rice and Johnson the
outfit will have one of the fasLest
and best throwing outfields in the
racket. Collectively they should
hit better than 800. Heilmarn at
first and Soluble at short are ex-
periments, but both look like mas
ters of the situation in training
camp at least. Especially is Soluble,
the sensational Texas League pro
dust, impressive at short.
Gehringer ana McManus, who
will look after the second and third
basing. respectively, are recognized
as capable in their positions. In
all, the infield will not only be
faster, but it will hit harder than
any infield the Tigers have had in
years.

decided definitely upon his
pitching staff, but, in addition

DIVISIONAL SCHOOL
 ASKED FOR NOME

At 8 recent meeting Of the Northwestern Alaska Chamber Of Commerce, held at the offices of the Nome Mines Inc, q very com prehensive program for the better ment Of conditions generally in Nome and the outlying districts, was thoroly discussed, and, i'm mediate steps were taken to se- cure the necessary Territorial backing and aid so that action can Ne taken at the earliest possible moment to put the different schemes outlined into effect.
 A petition was drawn up ad
 ressed to the Ninth Alaska Legis- lature requesting and strongly urg- that body to take such action as may be necessary to establish an institution of higher, and vocation al education in the Second Division and to make such appropriation of Territorial funds as may be necessary and sufficient for this purpose. Briefly the petition pointed out the fact that altho Nome has a high school well staff ed and equipped and where a high standard of education was main tained, it but serves the needs of the boys and girls of this town only, and that outside of Nome in the outlying districts there are a great many students who keenly desire and are iB real need of higher education but are denied this privilege. Many of these students are children of mixed blood, who are, no doubt, destined to form a very important part of Alaska's population; and should be given every encouragement to fit themselves to make a better living. In times gone by some of them were given the privilege of education at Chemawa Indian School: but due mainly to the fact that the change of climate had a bad effect on students from the North, this school has now been c!~sed to Alaska children after

 We recommend that the road from the beach to the" Lost River Tin Mines be rehabiliated by con- structing d bridge, approximately 150 feet across Lost River, and two side cuts to enable the road to get out of the River in the rough places. We advise that this road get the very earliest attention after the breakup as the crushing mill and other mining machinery, lumber and other essentials neces- sary for the construction of well developed plant will arrive on the first boat and will have to be transported over this road this coming summer. MT. Macintosh the General Superintendent advices us that he will furnish free camps and also free transportation to the work on this road.
 We further recommend your ac- tivity in putting the Monochrome road in such good condition; also your action in extending this road farther into the Interior. as we know from personal knowledge that it not only benefits the Os borne Dredging Company, which this past summer built a dredge on Osborne Creek,b also we will recommend. however, that instead of running the road from the mouth of Osborne Creek to St. Michael Creek, to join your road that was built this summer from St. Michael Creek to No. 13 Os- borne, that the proposed road leave the Nome-Fort Davis road some where around Cunningham Creek and run directly north across coun- try to St. Michael Creek. Our reasons for this are as follows:
 That it would open up six differ ent creeks, namely-Irene Creek.
