went pack. WIN his SeOlOSlcal KnOWl-
edge, slight as it was, and his famil-
iarity with the region, he was shuttled
back and forth from one end of the
state to the other. Curiously enough
CHM, like his father, was more an on
locker than a participant in this fan
tastic spectacle. The quality of bust
ness acumen seemed to be lacking in
both these men; or perhaps certain
mad fastidiousness in them kept them
from taking part in the feverish fight.
A hint of oil in this corner, trace Of
oil in that, and the thousands were
upon it, pushing, scrambling, nose to
the ground, down on all-fours like pigs
in trough. A hundred times Yancey
could have bought an oil lease share
for a song. Head lolling on his breast,
lids lowered over the lightning eyes,
he shrugged Indifferent shoulders.
II don't want the filthy muck" he
said. ut stinks. Let the Indians have
it. It's theirs. And the Big Boys from
the East-let them sweat and scheme
for it. They know where Oklahoma is
now, all right"
His comings. and goings had ceased
to cause Sabra the keen agony of
earlier days. She knew now that their
existence, so long as Yancey lived,
would always be made up of just such
unexplained absences and melodra-
matte homecomings. She had made up
her mind to accept the inevitable.
She did not mind that Yancey spent
much time on the oil fields. He knew
the men he called the big Boys" from
the East, and they often sought him
out for his company, which they found
amusing and for certain regional
wisdom that they considered valuable.
He despised them and spent most of
his time with the bumpers and roust-
abouts, drillers and tool dressers and
shooters-a hard-drinking, hard-talk-
ing, hard-fghting crew. In his white
sombrero and his outdated Prince AL
bert and his high-heeled boots he was
known as picturesque character.
Years of heavy drinking were taking
their toll of the magnificent body and
mind, The long locks showed streaks
Of gray.
Local townsmen who once had
feared and admired him began to
patronize him or to laugh at him, toll

 CARD AIT ARENA I

New Haven, April 20.-A knockout artist from Porto Rico will be seen in action at the Arena in New Haven on Friday night of this week. He is Baby Bear. who oampaigned for Il time in Florida and Is now up north .n the boxing game. Senator Harry Durant, of Guilford. who Is doing Q Drexel Riddle in the boxing game, saw him in action in Florida and secured his contract. It Is said that boxers down south fought shy of. the little colored featherweight and when he came to New Haven he had hard job trying to get sparring partners.
 Bear should show just how good he Is Friday. For he will be up against clever fighter from New York. Harry Sankey, who has shown twice in New Haven--each time win ming over Romeo Dubois, hardy Frenchman.
 Bear and Sankey will go eight rounds In . semi-final to the Herman Heller-Walter Cobb 10 rounder. Two other eights and a four rounder are on the card. Cobb Is the young man who damaged Primo Cameras ribs prior to his Miami Meeting with Jimmy Maloney.
 THE BIG BOYS.
 Two heavy hitting heavyweights make up the main offering at the New Haven Arena on Friday night. They are Walter Cobb of Baltimore. and Herman Heller. of Germany.
 Cobb Is unknown to ring worms in this state except through stories which came of him from Miami It was Cobb who broke Primo Car- nera's ribs when the big Italian was training for the Maloney bout. Dur ing his campaign in the south, Cobb scored knockouts over Sully Mont- gomery and George LaIaocco and turned in decision over Ralph Ficucello.
 Heller. who broke into New Haven with decision over Buddy Howard, returned to score one round knock- out over Marty Fox. the lantern jaw ed New Yorker who previously had fattened Jack Kelly for the count. Tn addition Heller had a fine show ing against Stanley Poreda in New York. dropping him once and then going the limit despite the fact that he had big cut over his eye. a cut which necessitated seven stitches.
 Three eight rounders and four rounder complete the bill. General admission is 50 cents, with reserved seats at $1 and $2.

there are times when he scales 2l9h. Next comes Fothergill. with nice round 230. Then comes Alexander. the Tigers first baseman, who weighs 215. Babe Ruth weighs about the same. Sam Leslie, the Giants utility shortstop, only weighs 200 but you have to put him on.
 You probably will notice that sev- eral shifts have been made. Lou Gehrig. for purposes of the mythical l team, wil move his 200-pound frame from first to third. He throws left handed. but if eft-hander can play first. why shouldn't he play third. which Is only just across the dia- mond?
 Then, too. I have put Frank Hurst. 206 pounds. on second. Frank is a first baseman with the Phils, but we have to have some- body to get into the way of run ners on doubie-p play balls.

 You will see that he grips the club with the right hand slightly under the shaft, the little finger of the right hand overlapped by the index finger of the left. This puts the con- trol of the club in the right hand. The wrists working against each other giving him smooth, rhyth- mic swing.

 FORGED WAY INTO ROOM

Suffering from deep stab in his leg, Martin Brier, Juneau laborer, was receiving treatment in the Juneau hospital, and Mar ion Christianson, keeper of the Arcade Rooms in Juneau, was being held in the Federal jail on an open charge pending the out come of the affray. She is al- legged to have wielded a butcher knife on Brier, reports the Ju- neau Empire.
 Brier, it is reported, forced an entrance into the Arcade Rooms, breaking open a locked door. The woman then grabbed a silver handled carving knife and used it effectively.
 The knife penetrated deeply into the leg and is said to have Sev- cred an artery. He was said to be resting easily in the hospital and was in no danger.

JUNEAU CHAMBER ASKS
 SHARE SEAL REVENUE ],
 FOR COMMON SCHOOL

By unanimous vote, the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce adopt led a resolution endorsing mem orial passed by the 1881 Alaska Legislature, asking that 50 per cent of the annual revenue derived from the sealherds of Pribilof ls- lands by the Federal government be remitted to Alaska for the common school fund, reports the Juneau Empire.
 It was declared that it was evi- dent that the present Territorial revenues were insufficient to meet the necessary expenses of govern ment and that it should share the seal revenues.
 The text of the chambers reso- Hutton follows in part:
 Whereas, the revenues of the Territory of Alaska are practically all derived from license fees and taxes on fisheries and mines, and
 Whereas, the said revenues have been very materially reduced during the past two years due to the decreased amounts received from fish trap licenses, and to the practical elimination of all net profits from fishing opera tions, and to the great decrease in taxable profits from mining operations, which falling off in taxes and license fees has reduced the revenues of the Territory so that there is insufficient income to pay the operating expenses of the Territorial government, includ- ing the maintenance of schools and relief of the indigent, and the Territory is faced with de- ficit, and has no power to incur indebtedness, and
 Whereas, the Territory is an nually expending more than $200,- 900 for the care and education of Indian and Eskimo wards of the government which places an excessive burden upon the people of the Territory, and
 Whereas, the Tenth Alaska Leg islature passed House Joint Mem orial No. IS, praying that a law be enacted under which the De- partment of Commerce shall an- nually pay to the Territory of AL aska for the benefit of the com mon school fund, a sum equal to 50 per cent of the annual rev enue derived from the operations of the seal fisheries of Pribilof in this Territory, and
 Whereas, it is essential that some such relief and financial assistance be given the Territory at once"
