CONC R E'SSMAN SAYS MINE LAW GAN BE CHANGED
All Federal Lawmakers Favor Policies to De-
 velop Alaska
REQUESTS FOR MONEY
 SHOULD BE MADE NOW
Appropriations Committee Will Soon Make Up
 Its Budget

Removal of existing restrictions on location of mining claims in Alaska seems likely to result from the visit of the Congressional dele gation to Alaska, it was intimated here last night by Congressman William R. Eaton, Republican of Colorado, Chairman of the House Committee on Public Lands and member of the Appropria ations Committee, who was in the party going south on the steamer Aleu- tian.
 "If the proper sort CT bill is pre- pared by Alaskans and introduced in Congress to wipe out the re- strictions and extend to the Ter ritory the general mining laws of the United States, it probably will receive vorable consideration from the Public Lands Commit tee," MT. Eaton said.
 During the delegations trip to western and interior points, MT. Eaton added, many persons dis cussed the matter with him and other Congressman, all urging rem edial action.
 At the recent session of the Alas ka Legislature, an act was passed repeating the so-called Wicker sham Act but it requires valida- tion by Congress before it can be- come effective
 The legislature also repealed all Territorial laws supporting the Wickersham Act. Senator A. J. Dimond, Valdez, was the author of this legislation.
 Members of the Congressional party that voyaged north on the steamship Yukon two weeks ago, are returning south on the steamship Aleutian now. They were in Juneau several hours last night while their vessel was in port, spending most of the time as the guests of Gov. George A. Parks at the executive mansion.
 The Aleutian group, like the Congressional contingent on the United States Coast Guard cutter Tahoe, which called here on her way south yesterday, expressed themselves as friendly to any poli-. cies designed to develop the Terri tory.
 Early Requests Urged
 'Alaskans should not delay in making their wants known to Con- gress," continued MT. Eaton.
 Now is the time to ask for ap- propriations," he added. Do not wait until next December for it will be too late then. The com mittee complies the budget along in September and October and has 1t printed by December. An other thing I wish to tell Alas kans, and that is not to take ad- vice too literally. When told to pray for what they want, they must understand that what is really meant is that they should pray for the strength to go out and get what they want"
 In speaking of the Alaska Rail- road, the study of which was one of the principal purposes of the Congressional party's visit north, Congressman Eaton said.

PROTEST NOT JUSTIFIED

In a Fairbanks despatch to The Empire, Commissioner Charles H. Flory of the Department of Agri- culture, is quoted as saying the Associations protest is unjustified. We are not trying to force the issue or to throw more paper on the market, but we are in readiness to go ahead when condition S change.
 We have the timber and power to build up American production when the time is right" MT. Flory added negotiations between the United States Forest Service and applicants for timber were dis continued early last Spring because of the business depression and present over r-capacity of existing paper mills.

COLLECIAN BATS BEAT CHAMPIONS
 OF LEGION LOOP

Unless Willie Carroll bobs up again with demand for another in- vestigation, the second time his Brooklyn Indies were beaten will have to count for they dropped a 5 to verdict to the Fuller Street Col legians last evening at Washington park in an errorless ball game. Landing on Lefty Petronis for four runs in the second inning, the Col legians held fast to their three run lead until the fifth when the Indies pushed over a pair of points. The college boys from the Abrigador, made their count very safe by scor- ing again in the sixth, Louie Tata pitching nice ball, allowing but seven hits which were pretty we'll split up, while the college clubs belted Pe- tronis out of the box in favor of Rerardi who did well not we'll enough to win, without help from his mates which was conspicuous by it's absence.
 ShutOut
 With their top moundsman, Mar maduke Mama giving up only two bingles, the Town Plot P1otters were easy for the North End Bulldogs who won to 0, though they got but fcur hits off Martino in the first in- ming. Neither team scored after ward, the game going only five in- nings.
 Another Forfeit
 The Hopeville Juniors got another win without playing when St Mary's Alumni boys got lost in transit, fail- ing to appear in time for their game at Hamilton park, which went by forfeit, to 0. Bad news continued to pile up for the Waterville Juniors who were pasted by the Boys Club Aces for ten runs while they got two the first inning and stopped scoring from then on. Eleven hits off Paul Kumpitsch, coupled with three errors led to the villers' down. fall.
 All Tied
 No less than five teams are tied for second place, the Indies still leading with three wins and one loss. The Waterville Juniors have lost all four of their games to date.

Sparkling plays were intermingled with sandlot baseball. Captain Nor man sims of the Crusaders was ex- ceptionally liberal with his passes and only exceptional fielding { brought him safely through the pinches. He lasted the entire four teen frames though Barry threat ened to remove him in the seventh and towards the close of the game.
 Nutmeggers Shine
 Connectciut boys featured the work of both teams with Frank Cammarano of New Haven, who outstanding performer both in the 2 field and at bat. The stocky Italian youngster poled out a double and a single and scored two runs himself. He crossed the plate in the ninth with the tying run after Bill Newton had purposely passed him to take on Tom Farrell of Hartford whose .tSnodgrass" play in centerfield in the seventh allowed Yale to break the deadlock. A high loft fioated into Farrell's hands and then bounced to the ground allowing Fletcher to cross the plate for the Ellis. How ever Farrell slashed a wicked drive to the left corner of the field that &1SlAu udAkQkCu PoOAAys ~ WCAL oO"h as a triple and Cammarano scored easily.
 Local Color
 '.Ar' Niemic, we'll known in Wat erbury amateur baseball circles, fig ured in the winning spree of the Crusaders in the fourteenth. After Marshall had singled Niemic beat out his sacrifice bunt along the first base line. Cammarano followed with another bunt in the same place which sent both runners ahead a base. Farrell popped out, but with Murray at bat Kies, Newton's relief pitcher. threw into the dirt and Joe" Maine, another Waterbury amateur player, lost the ball while Marshall was racing across the plate. Murray walked and O'Connell then shot a hard crash to center which sent Niemic home with an extra counter.
 Heads Up Ball
 Sensational fielding upon the part of Ned Warren at shortstop for Yale was a redeeming feature of the game. Warren speared everything between second and third. He made an exceptionally fine play in the thirteenth inning when he scooped up a hard hit ball with his bare hand to make a force play at third. In the previous inning he took a hard liner off Niemic's bat that lookd like sure hit. Fletcher at second base had done the same thing an inning before.
 In the last two innings Murray and Farrell for Holy Cross roamed far afield to pull down drives that were labelled for extra bases. It was perhaps the irony of fate that Far rell, whose boner nearly lost the game for Holy Cross, should drive in the tying run and in the four teenth make the last put out after a

ninth inning and also hammered out a homer for good measure.
 The greatest fielding gem contrib uted on Yale Field was that of Johnny Garvey's in 1928. Al Dobbins had replaced Alois Fons on the mound. Dobbins was quite a hitter himself. Late in the game he poled a long drive towards the right field fence. It looked a sure homer. Gar vey turned and scampered for the barrier. He reached it, turned to- wards the infield. dived forward. and picke the ball off his shoe tops. Dobbins ha reache third base and couldn't believe his eyes.
 Frank Cammarano should fill "Jim" Shevlin's shoes with ease. The New Haven boy is natural bali player. He looks fine around the bag and hooked one runner off in the early part of the game in great style. He also takes good swing at the ball and usually connects. With Cammarano, Niemic, and O'Connell the nucleus of next years infield Jack Barry should have much better team in 1892. His team usu- ally centers around a scintillating infield.

Explain the proper pivot for the golf swing.
 The pivot usually takes care of itself. In taking back the club head the left shoulder should be turned without permitting it to drop. While this goes on, the weight gradually is shifted from the left to the right foot without sway ing and without turning the head. The natural result of this is slight bend in the left knee and the rais- ing of the left heel.
 The golfer may ask how to keep from swaying. My answer to this is to put the weight against a firm right leg and concentrate on keep ing the head still.
 As the club comes down in the downswing, the opposite action takes place-the body turns to the left, the weight is shifted to the left foot and the ball is hit.

 A Few Notes
 There was plenty of football in- terest in the game. Four football captains were seen in action. Fay Vincent and Albie Booth performed for Yale, while Hank" Garrity and Phil O'Connell cavorted for Holy Gross. O'Connell and Booth will lead their respective teams, both from quarterback position, next fall.
 Yale hasn't beaten Holy Cross in New Haven since 1926 when they won 6-5 victory over southpaw Al Dobbins.
 The fourteen inning contest was the longest on record between the two institutions, although back around 1912 or 1913 Yale did cap- ture q thirteen inning game when a balk by the Holy Cross pitcher sent in the Yale runner on third base.
 
 There hasn't been a superb pitch ing exhibition at Yale Field to com- pare with that of Bots Nekola in 1929. He let Yale down with one hit. struck out thirteen, and his mates squeezed across one run to win.
