Hughie Critz, for instance. He bat
ted a mere PAT last season and has
hit better than 300 only once in
his major league career. Yet his
addition to the Giants made the
New York infield the best in the
National League. So, too, Oscar
Melillo, another foot inch second
baseman. He batted 1896 last sea-
son, the nearest to the charmed 800
circle he ever has come. Yet the
year before he had hit a mere .189
and lis major league average for
four seasons with st. Louis is .255.
However, the Brownies seem quite
content with their second baSeman.
He is 8 fine fielder. excelliny in dou-
ble-play work with Kress, and his
speed and daring on the bases often
come in quite handy, as in the game
told about in the first paragraph.
Melillo is almost % years old and is
a native Chicagoan. like Freddie
Lindstrcm. He started professional
base ball in 1920 with Milwaukee,
and was farmed to Winnipeg for a
couple of seasons as an outfielder.
He played for Milwaukee in %, 90.
"a and '25 in the outfield and at
second, and was sold to st. Louis for
the 1926 season for cash and players.

oLD.TIME FIGHTERS PUT
 UP BETTER EXHIBITIONS

Discussions of the latest prize-fght fiasco, in which the German Schmel- ling won the technicaE worlds cham pionship over Sharkey on foul, have renewed speculation as. to how John l.. Sullivan and other battlers of old would have stacked up against our modern pugs.
 No. one can, tell, of course, but when it is remembered, for instance, that Sullivan and Kilrain fought seventy five rounds with bare knuckles in the last championship bout under London prize ring rules. the stamina of those oldtimers cannot be discounted. That. was in 1889, since which time gloves. have been used, and no. championship bout has gone longer than twenty-six rounds under the new ..ruins Under the old London bare-knucS,e rules. round did not end until one of the fighters was on the. ground. Then, after only 30 seconds rest, they went at tagain.
 As Jack Dempsey recently pointed out, while Sullivan. was defeated by Corhett, using large gloves, Sullivan. went to his grave the :, undefeated bare knuckle champion.
 Considering the. unsatisfactory ters imitation of many recent champions ship bouts, it is strange that the box. ing game has held its customers as well as it has,. But if promoters and. fighters do not soon begin to. stage better exhibitions than have ;. been witnessed. during the past few years, it will not be surprising if the fans. get tired of being humbugged. There. is no doubt that the oldtimers put on much better shows for a fraction of. the present-day priees.-Er.

 No one doubts that there is in Alaska a great reserve of timber, minerals and water. power. Many of the resources may not be. needed for generations to come, but certainly they will not be used to enrich man. kind until the control of the bureau cracy is removed.

Chicago Tribnne.)


 A committee. of senators has been appointed to investigate the : Govern ment railroad in Alaska. The rail- road was authorized in the Wilson administration, and since then has cost the American taxpayers elcse to s8O,0O0,OO0. It has lost close to a million dollars year since its com pletion,. and that figure; 1t is said, takes no account of ssthe depreciation iniroadbed and efuipmentsMe eanwhile the white population of Alaska has been decreasing. There are less than 3G;O00 whites in the entire Territory and less than. 5000 in the region served by the railroad
 We think it is well that. the sen- ators~ make the trip to Alaska, even tfhugh it is at the taxpayers ex- pense. The tradition has grown up infthis country that the purchase of Alaska was one of the~ historic bar gains, comparable te the purchase of Manhattan for a string of beads and oft Louisiana for $27 ,000000. Today the territory bought, as Louisiana supports population of 10000, ,000 and its wealt his estimated at $60,- OOO,DO0,000. Manhattan real estate is probably the most valuable in the world and it's population is 60 times that of Alaska Alaska, on the con- trary, has cost the United States treasury, some $208,00o 900 since the purchase.
 A visit to- tFes Territory may make dry statistics live in the minds of the senators. It may lead them to- see that the only means of reducing the costs. of the Territory to sthe Amer ican taxpayers is to dispose of, the Government railroad, for }, theg- best; price ebtainable. Once the railroad is in private hands, the drain ons the treasury will cease and the railroad's s
