supplying the Pacific Coast with many things it needed, Chicago was a small village on a swamp and a river which today has been turned to run the other way. In the past 100 years, it has grown to a population of more than A. 900 ,O00. While it has grown in all other ways, we have failed to ap- preciate the demand for growing legislatively. He illustrated the ef- | feet this factor had upon law en- forcement, and urged more gen. eral law observance to the enu that it would speed the time when there would be a general reallza- ton that no law is a good law un- less it has the support and sane ton of a majority of the people.
 He invited Juneauites, and AL askans generally to visit Chicago in 1883 when it will stage it's great Worlds Fair. Then you will see why we are proud of our city"
 Appreciate -nC-r Welcome
 MT. Merriman and the younger MT. Dryden expressed their appre- citation Of their cordial welcome here and other Alaska communities they have visited. Already, the former said, they are thinking of another Alaska trip.
 MT. Miller, who is publishing an Alaska Directory, termed it AL askas best publicity medium, de- signed to dispell the popular con- ception of the Territory as the home of ice-bergs and polar bears. The publication, he added, would be issued about July r5.
 Publicity For Fair
 Pamphlets and a large-size pie ture of Juneau will be furnished by the Chamber for an Alaska eX- hibit at the American Exposition at Atlantic City next month, it was announced today. All of the local Chambers have been asked for this kind of material by the Alaska Chamber.
 An unfavorable report has beer rendered by the District Engineer Ioffice on the proposed improvement in Keku Strait, the Chamber wa! advised. Thirty days have been al, lowed in which additional informa. ton may be submitted to the U. s Board of Engineers, Washington ID. c. The matter has been re ferred to the Committee on Loca Industries.

 A communication from the Ma tional Association of Wood Bol Manufacturers was received regard ing the excise tax proposed to b. placed on the use of fibreboart boxes before the recent Legislature here. It asked for copy of tht IAct, under the impression the bil had become law. The communica ton was turned over to the loca Industries Committee, for reply.
 Twenty requests for information were received during the week ant were answered, Secretary Walms ley reported.

 Dryden Talks On Rubber
 MT. Dryden depicted conditions in the rubber industry which he described as "deplorable." His own company. he said, was doing 9 rarmal business when he left home However, producers of crude rubber taca chaos. Prices of that com modity landed in New York range from seven to seven and one-hal1 cents per pound while the cost o1 producing it is from 13 to IA cents The growers, therefore, face disas- ter unless improvement comes shortly.
 The automobile tire business IS II equally bad condition. There art 90 companies engaged in this busi- ness in the United States anS three of the larger companies alone could supply all of the needs of tn' country. Mail order houses, he add ed, are selling 19 per cent of tn' tires used throughout the world None of the manufacturers hav' made any money since 1921.
 A Word for Chicago
 Judge Brothers, who is mem Der of the Illinois Circuit court and a native-born resident of Chi cago. said it was much malignee cltv." adding, that Chicagoans themselves, were largely responsi bla for that condition of affairs He was introduced by Post Presi dent E.

 "I have nothing to do with tha law. I am on the State bench am it is a Federal statute with Whlci we have nothing to do. l do no understand it (the Volstead Act' he declared.
 He defended the good name O his city, saying that no such law lessness and viciousness existed a. those not familiar with 1t mlgn think. It has the same wholesome spirit, openmindedness and good fellowship that exists in AlasK' towns, he added.

HAAS BLOSSOMS
AS OUTF|ELDER

Haas certainly has been per
forming well in the AS middle
garden. There is a something to
playing on a championship team
that draws the best that is in q
man. Haas is an example Of the
player who rises to the demand
and speed Of his surroundings.
AS q diving center fielder. even
Speaker had nothing on Haas.
He never gives UP on q ball hit
anywhere near him. He has
pulled at least q dozen Spectacu-
lar catches this season.
Has Mastered Art
To be calling attention to the
fielding of Haas will remind fans
that Haas looked like the most
awkward outfielder that ever
graced center field at the stadium
when he worked there in back Of
Old Jack Quinn two years ago.
He stood like q statue in the field
while two pop flies were chalked
for hits that any player could
have caught. The light and
shadows Of the Yankee Stadium
are pretty hard on fielderS, as
Earl Combs will testify.
Has has mastered the art Of
playing the middle pasture here
as well as the center spot in
other fields. Hack Wilson VIII
admit at the cost Of losing .
world series that the center
yard 1T Shibe Park with the
slanting sun Is the worst in the
country, and yet Haas seldom
misses . ball there.
An observer could say that
Haas is one Of the gamest players
having been in the lineup con
stantly since he fractured a bone
in the thumb of his right hand
three weeks ago in st. Louis,
when the AS had started to
slump.
Stuck to JOD
The doctor ordered Haas out OF
action. The players spirits
cropped, for Haas not only was
cutting off drives by his remark
able fielding, but was hitting bet
ter than at any time since he be
came a member Of the Athletics
With his injured digit in tape
Haas stuck to his Outfielding
job and he is getting his allOt-
ment of hits, showing mark Of
.3A3 for his seasons efforts.
Haas is one Of those players
who wou, like to bat any place
but second and yet when Connie
Mack placed him there he die
the best he could under c1rcum
stances and now it seems as If M
was made to, order for the spot.

'H|TT|NGHONORS
MORGAN s AIM

Few headlines have been writ
ten this season on home runs
made by Eddie Morgan, of Cleve-
land. The answer is easy. Nor
gan says he is chopping the
ball and trying to deliver more
hits than just homerS.
When the season began, Nor
gan was on the bench. He had
not had q workout. There at
first base was Fonsecas playing
the game Of his life, and, hitting
as he did, Morgan knew that he
would have to do something spec
tacular to get a job.
Finally Got Chance
He got a chance to groom him
self for third base, but he proved
a flop there, being slow coming
in and uncertain on balls hit at
him. His batting was puny.
After the FOnseca trade to
Chicago, Kamm was placed at
third base and Morgan was
showed back to first.
"He's only a first-year flash,
the fans yelled at the big boy
from New Orleans. Morgan was
kept at first until he became
used to competitive pitching
When he got on first he stuck
to his style of chopping and for
got about home-run drives. He
just concentrated on getting sin
giles and doubles.
Cleveland was passing out oi
the league race when Morgan was
moved over to first base again.
1t is now his ambition to play
first base permanently and lead
the league i'm hitting.
It would be a great. argument
against spring training trips il
Morgan won the batting title ir
the American League and Kleir
led the National League, SOl
neither had spring practice.

Depression does not make much

The st. Louis National League
club is elated over the fact that
45,715 persons paid to see the
Cubs and Cards clash last Sun
day. World series games devel-
oped no more eagerneSs on the

were thrown open. The park was

The Athletics turned away TO-

The crowd gave one shove ana

of whom paid dime to see one
of the biggest crowds ever assem-
bled there.
There were 10000 inside Shihe

Yankees drew $4,000 earlier IN
the year on e. Monday.
The Athletics playing the Tigers
these days recalls the time 20-odd
years ago, when the Detroit team
had Cobb, Crawford and the late
Hugh Jennings.
Those were the days Of base
bali when four games drew
116,OOO fans, q hOwling, fight

much since those days rs far
as fan interest goes.
There was a time not so many
years ago that the Yankees could
hardly collect gate money at

was building. Now any time the
Yankees even challenge the AS
there is hardly room for the fans.
