ALASKA ITEMS OF INTEREST AT THE
 NATIONAL CAPITOL
By w. 4. S.l

WASHINGTON, D. c. Dec. 9. II
 From telegrams and letters re- eeived by the Delegate it is evident that various sections of the Terri- tory are very fearful lest the Wash ington- Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System should be sold by the government to some cor poration. Many may be interested III knowing how this agitation started On September g, 1880, an interdepartmental communica- tions Committee was organized with a personnel that included repre- sentatives from the State, War, Navy and Commerce Departments and the chief engineer of the Fed eral Radio Commission. This com nlittee submitted various reports, one of which recommended the sale

 Recent inquiry at the War De- partment elicited the fact that in preparing bills to be submitted to the Secretary of War, the Legisla- tive Commission included a bill identical with the one presented last year for the sale of the Alaska communication system. This par ticular bill, at this date, .las not yet been endorsed by Secretary Hurley. Seeking to avert that ac- tion, Delegate Wickersham, on Mo- vember 2, addressed 8 plea to the Secretary, setting forth the present value of the system and the gen. eral satisfaction it gives, and ex- pressing the hope that the bill would not be introduced in the coming Congress. A reply to this letter has not yet been received.

SLAB WIN RECORD
NOW CRIMES GOAL
Card SpitbaIIer Aims to Bet
ter 373-Game Mark Held
by Alexander.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
| ut. LOUIS, February 17-Burleigh
Grimes himself Is authority for
the statement the base ball rec
ord books a few years hence will
have an entry reading something like
like this:
Most pitching victories, National
League, Burleigh Grimes. -. Former
record held by Grover Cleveland Alex
ander, 373"
Ready for his sixteenth consecutive
year in the National League and with
312 victories to his credit, the pugna-
cious old spitballer believes his right
arm is still good for three or four or
five" years more, by which time he
expects to have won the additional 81
games he needs to break Alex the
Greats record.
Now Leads Major Hurlers.
Grimes has more victories to his
credit than any other pitcher now in
the majors. His nearest rival is the
tall Cincinnati southpaw, Eppa Rixey,
who has Isl mound triumphs scattered
over a period Of 10 seasons. Rixey, who
will be 40 in May. is more than two
years older than Grimes. During his
Is years in the National, Burleigh has
lost 1870 games, giving him 1872 more
victories than defeats.
If his last seasons record is any cri-
terlon, Burleigh should be able to put
a base ball over the plate and make
unkind remarks about opposing batters'
ears with some degree of success for
quite some time. After winning and
losing for the Boston Braves, Grimes
came to the Cardinals in June and pro-
ceeded to win Is while losing 6, for a
1911 record for the year.
This year Grimes hopes for a much
better start and just as good finish.
Trains at Hot Springs.
Jess Joseph Haines, as old as Bur-
leigh, but with four years less service
in the National, and Grimes will start
their Spring training at Hot Springs,

to the Springs for several years, but
this is the first trip for JESSE
After two or three weeks there they
will join the rest of the Redbirds at

tempt Of Jack Dempsey in the battle

Nothing for Publication.
Carey declined to elaborate on his
brief statement, made as he hustled
aboard q train for New York. He had
visited over the week end at the home
Of Sheldon Clark, who until recently
was president Of the Chicago Stadium
Corporation.
His goingS and comings in Chicago
were unobtrusive, but he was be-
lieved to have conferred with George
F. Getz, who assisted the late Tex
Richard in the promotion Of the Tun-
ney-Dempsey fight, with the result
that things were pretty definitely set
tled-but not for publication.
The Illinois State Athletic Commits
sion had received no request for sane
ton Of the fight, and the South Park
board, which controls Soldier Field, had
not been approached on the subject OF
letting the lake-front stadium.
Would BE Garden Show.
Should the fight come to Chicago il
would be a New York Milk Fund show
promoted by the Madison Square Gar
den Corporation of Illinois, a subsidi-
airy Of the New York garden, which was
organized to handle the Dempsey
Tunney fight in 1927.
June 10 was deemed a good date, as
the American Derby, the $50, 900 added
feature Of the Washington Park race
meeting, will be decided the next day
and the pair of major attractions
might help to draw customers in
greater numbers.
