Upgren's.
The Denham baseball team battled
Willow River II innings to settle a
tie but actually had the game won
by a margin of II to 10 at the end
of the ninth. The enforcement Of the
overtime period was due to the local
scorer failing to record one of two
scores that crossed the home plate on
the same hit. Geo. Lehet was scored
to third base only but could not have
died" on base as two men who came
to bat after he did, scored. He could
not have been put on base either as
the three last batters up in. this inning
went down by fly out, throw out at
first, and fly out route respectively.
Strom was leadoff man and also the
last man up in this inning. Thus
Denham was credited with but 5 runs
in the first inning while was the
correct count. The error was dis
covered Immediately af er the game
when checking over the score book.
This is reported because it would be
an injustice to the members of the
local team to say that they lost when
4 ho nd
would never have played the two
extra innings but for an error in
scoring.

representative on the committee which is discussing the prelimin- aries of British Columbia Yukon Alaska Highway It is a compli ment to the Yukon, which MT. Black has represented in the House of Commons for so many years It is compliment, as we'll, that one occupying the posi- tion he does in Parliament should have been asked to devote so much time when not actively en- gagged in parliamentary duties, to rendering aid towards what it is believed will eventually develop into service of very high import ance for this part of the Domin- ion.
 MT Blacks ability to speak on behalf of the Yukon in the mat ter of the North and South road which Dr. Tolmie has put in the forefront of his policies cannot be questioned. He has the con- fidence of the people of the North land, knows it's transportation needs, and is persuaded that such a highway as is proposed will mean increased prosperity. The presence at Victoria recently of Mr. Black and the other repre- sentatives of the committee dis cussing the British Columbia -Yu- kon-Alaska Highway is an earn est of another step forward to- wards the consummation of this project"

Brawley has the best team of
