William Tamaree and John Silva picked up three of the P. A. F. Company's scoWs and one seine skiff adrift in Frederick Sound between Horn Cliff and La Conte Bay. The scows had been moored to a dolphin near their docks and fouling their lines around the mooring pile at low tide; they pulled the pile when the tide raised and were not missed until the find was re- ported.

MT. Jesse Ames reports that the dread malady which it was feared last week would decimate the young mink kits on the Yu- kon Fur Farms, has now been checked apparently. While the cause of the malady has not been definitely established, all evidence points to an insecticide which was used in the nest box es. The company is very happy that their worst fears were never realized. MT. Ames estimates that there are in the neighbor- hood of seven hundred live wig orous kits remaining, which he believes are now quite safe.

YOU CAN'T KEEP FEM DOWN

It is an old axiom that you cannot keep a good man down. For many years William Jen- nings Bryan, silver -tongued orator and great commoner of Nebraska was the champion ban ner carrier of the national De- mocratic Party; an illustrious leader of a forlorn hope and a hopeless party, Bryan made da1. ing bids for publicity and the presidency of the United States.
 Emulating his illustrious name sake, William J. Bryan, doughty skipper of a Reliable Transfer truck, has made a bid for the spotlight of fame and so in it's limited way, The Alaskan is try ing to cooperate in giving due publicity to his efforts.
 The restless impetuosity of youth leads to greatness through routes not all of ease or comfort: where at times Lady Luck holds the balance wheel of fate, the turning of which one way or the other, sends men into glory, ob- liquity or eternity.
 Now, such a prosaic calling as driving a truck can hardly be expected to continuously satisfy the craving for fame or excite ment. Bill has never asked to be chosen president of the na- tion, mayor of Sitka or Council man of Petersburg that is not his particular bent. But unbe- knoWnst to his friends, he did long to be the center of a moom pitcher thriller like Bill Hart or some other go-gettum, high dive artist. So he made a skookum bid for the attention of the big producers, or what have you. He did a little practicing in thrill ing stunts, back-diving- somer- saulting, side-slipping with one of those combinations of, wood. ! tin, coil, gas, oil and it was Ford and lived to tell the tale non- chalantly with the request that ] 1t be not told. He says, the older the Ford truck the cheaper it is to practice with and anyhow it l will give Fryer Bros, agents one more sale for their district.

Among those who have had some diff

There were indications in advance Of
storms ahead.

and yet had to face hard fight.
1t has been said that the strain of an
18-hole golf match is as hard on one
player as it is on another. It all de-
ponds on the type of player.
John Ball was q great golfer, but one
of the main reasons why he won the
British amateur championship eight
times was that he never got keyed up.
On one or two occasions they had to
hurry him out of his garden at Hoylake
to start in time, where the first tee was
only 200 yards away.
In this connection Jess Sweetser, who
won the British title in 1926, tells an
interesting story about Brownlow, the
golfer who took him 81 holes in the semi
final round and who last week lost to
Bobby Jones by a stroke in the gold
vase competition.
II never played in a match enjoyed
more" said Jess. "Brownlow Sauntered
up to the first tee in his street clothes,
street shoes, every day hat, and he was
wearing gloves. This Semi-flnal round
to him was apparently nothing but an
other golf match.
At the first good shot I hit he was
liberal and enthusiastic In his comment.
And could see that he meant it. 1
was soon cheering him with the same
feeling. Everything was casual. There
was no tension, strain or even keen
ness at any point.
Naturally wanted to win, and so
did he, but we were not keyed up about
It. No one could be in the face Of his
friendly, easy-going, just-out- for golf
game attitude. Brownlow was out to
enjoy himself, play as well as he could,
and not bother about the result.
When I was up and 2 to play he
stepped up without a CULVER and holed

any time. There wasn't the slightest

The speed boys have missed the SUI
perchargers of the last two years and
have been bothered by the added weight
Of one riding mechanic to the car. SUI
perchargers gave added gasoline punch,
speeding acceleration in turn.
To overcome the condition, the driv-
ers all have employed the lighteSt
weight riding mechanics available and
have been hurting into the turns with
throttles wide open, so that as little
speed as possible would be lost.
The new racing rules, incidentally,
have brought to the Speedway a new
type OF daredevil. He is here for the
kick obtained riding with the country's
best drivers.
Two of the newcomers are parachute
jumpers. some are friends of the men
they will accompany in the hazardous
race and many of them have only q
smattering of mechanical knowledge.
The parachute jumpers are Lieut.. Aaron
Vance of the Indiana National Guard,
who will ride with Chef Gardner Of
Pittsburgh. and Spider Matlock of Los
Angeles, who will accompany Billy Ar
mold. Matlock also Is an aviator.
Resumption of qualifying trials was
set for this afternoon. Tomorrow will
be the last day for the trials, as the
track will be closed Thursday.

blocks, 50 met the Michigan man
on even terms.
Tolan is q splendid starter, and in
each sprint led Simpson from the
line. But once George worked up
full speed, he easily overhauled
Tolan and made his victories look
easy over the last IS yards.
In the furlong, Simpson seemed
to ease up at the finish, and Tolan,
with a powerful burst Of speed,
erased at least 5 feet of the Ohioans
long lead.
Between the two there can be no
question as to Simpsons superiority
in form, power and natural speed.
The day precluded Simpson equal
ing Tolan's official 0:09.5 in the 100.
A raw wind whipped across the
track and the cinders were holding
because of heavy rains on the pre-
ceding day.

final shot at the records in both the

SCHOOL TITLE PLAY
/. TO END TOMORROW

in FinaI-CentraI and

" ASTERN and Western mines will
~ face tomorrow in the final game
of the public high school base
ball championship series In
Central Stadium at 3:45 o'clock. East
ern already has the title in the bag for
the third straight year, having won
three games in as many starts. West
eYn will be battling for its second win
of the campaign. The scholaSttcS from
out Georgetown way won the opening
game of the series, downing Tech, 8
to 4. Since then they have taken lick
ings at the hands OF Business and
Central. =.
Central and Tech were to have it
out today In the next to the last series
game.
1t has been an unusual series alone
for the heavy scoring. Much as their
big-league brethren are doing these
days, the boys have socked and rocked
the pellet with abandon. Though at
times good base ball has been played,
the series play as a whole has been
below the standard of the high school
competition: Eastern has proved FAR
and away the pick of the pack, having
won all its games by decisive margins
and maintaining grade of play mark
edly higher than its rivals.
Only one athletic contest, a diamond
brush between Business and Emerson,
on the Monument grounds, Is carded
tomorrow for scholastic athletes of the
District group, aside from the Eastern
Western ball game.
After being held runless and hitless
until the seventh, Business Highs nine

to score four runs against Greenbrier

checked, and the home team went on
to win, to 4. Carney, Greenbrier

Where 1t Is Different,
But no round of golf in a British
championship can be a casual affair to
Bobby Jones. He must know he is rated
high enough to win, and in a way the
world of golf is expecting him to win.
Having won every other important title,
he is bound to feel the heavy pressure
of each match he plays this week, and
it is this accumulated pressure which
may lead to a costly lapse.
He will have nothing but fine golfers
to meet after today's schedule, golfers
capacable of shooting II or a u in
18-hole dashes. Others will feel a heavy
strain, but not quite as heavy since
not quite so much is expected from
them.
