 ball team with friends, a group of about forty people, arrived in port, bringing along their Jazz Orchestra. There was almost toe much excitement for everyone. ! On Friday evening the Salva- tioniSts invited the town, in- cluding our visitors to the A. N B. Hall where they reported theii eventful trip. This was all very interesting. The Army Band furnished the music during the evening. Walter Williams is to be given much credit for the splen- did performance of the band and Rake is especially proud of their efforts. Following the reports a very nice luncheon was served by the Army folks.
 The U. s. Lighthouse Tender Cedar was in port on the 11th and a basketball game was ar ranged between their crew and the local A. N. B. team. Both teams made great effort and rlayed fine games but the Cedar crew was defeated by the score of 23-10. Erickson, former Kayhi star and now center for the Cedar crew played stellar game. The Cedar boys were good clean sports. Come again.
 Saturday the Hoonah and Rake second teams tangled. The local team was handicapped by the absence of Willie Dugaqua and Harry Bean from the line up. The visitors outclassed the locals by fast team work though the localities played a hard, fast clean game. John Faucett, Hoonah forward was high point man. Score-Hoonah, 26-Kake IT
 The Rake and Hoonah A. N. B. first teams came out on the floor following the first game Hoonah to eat more Rake and Rake to avenge the first defeat. The game started with a bang" teams on their toes and going four bells. First score byI Rake and after a hard battle, the first quarter ended 2-2. Both teams checked well. Second quarter ended, Hoonah 6-Kake g. The game belonged to any hcdy yet and excitement ran high. Oscar Osborne, charter member of the "GunnysackS' of Yakutat, replaced Frank Will Hams, Hoonah forward and Fiji Sharkinclan replaced Ernest IIillman at center. Both teams going at a fast clip, the crowd cheering madly and as excited as could be. Slowly Rake added to her score with Hoonah fighting desperately. The visitors were Handicapped by being without their best player who was crip- pied at Sitka. With the fine Of tensive and defensive game, Rake at the end of the game had 20 to Hoonah's IA points.

PORTNEY ASKED
To MAKE 140

Jack Portnev has been asked
to make 140 pounds at 2 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon for his bout
with Louie Jallos at Portner's
Arena. Portney is no longer a
legitimate lightweight. He has
difficulty making under 140.
There IS a question whether
Portney can make this poundage
and still retain his fighting form.
Jallos is just the boy to test
Portney. He is fast, a terrific
right and left hand punch and
smart. When it comes to en-
durance he'll match anything in
the BaltimoreanS class.

MARYLANDHUNT
CUP RACE Of
1887 BEST

(ThiS is the SeUenth and final
chapter of series of articles on
the Maryland Hunt Cup race, one
OF the 1OorId'S jumping classics,
tDhich 1DiU be run this month";
BY HARRY COSTELLO
There have been many exciting
of the Maryland Hunt
Cup classic, but none more eX-
citing than that of 1897.
The course on this occasion
was marked out at Brookland-
wood, estate of George Brown.
1t was nearly five miles in
length. Ten horses we're nomi-
mated, 10 started and nine fin
iShed, despite the hazards of the
testing course.
C. Morton Stewards The Squire,
which had finished second in 1895
and which had accepted the issue
in the first running of the great
race in 1894, fini9hed in front,
although he fell. He was re-
mounted by w. Plunkett Stew
art, his rider, and went on to
finish in front of F. H. M. Birk-
heads Barney by a length. Bar
ney was only a stride in front of
Charles R. Spence's brown geld
ing, Little Giant. Tom Clark was
at Little Giants girth, and Ell.
mira length behind.
The first serious protest in the
Maryland Hunt Cup came at the
conclusion of this 1897 renewal.
Elders Protest Upheld
George Elder, who had ridden
Little Giant, was upheld by the
judges when he protested that
The Squire and Barney had cut
a flag. Both were disqualified,
and Little Giant was declared
winner, thus putting Tom Clark
in place and Elmira third.
Subsequently, Charles Spence
pleaded with the stewards to have
the race run over. Apparently,
the owner of Little Giant did not
care to win in such a manner,
which bespeaks worlds for his
craftsmanship. The race stood,
however.
The Squire, by this time famous
for his endurance, sturdiness and
stout heart. came back in 1898 to
win over Tom Clark, his half
brother. Tom Clark and The Squire
were sired by the famous Montt
cello. Simple Simon finished third
in 1898.
The course for the 1899 race
gives some notion of the testing
character of the Maryland Hunt
Cup from that day to this. In that
year the stiffish layout was
planned on Long Green" estate
of G. S. Williams in Baltimore
County. The length of the run

CLOSERCHASE
IS SEEN BY
HARR|DGE
BY WILL HARRIDGE
President. the American League


CHICAGO, April st is the
wish of every baseball league
president each spring that the
race in his circuit be a close one
from the opening day in April
until the close in September or
October.
For the last few years, however,
the American League pennant
chaseS have not been we'll con-
tested the last half of the season.
It is my belief now, however,
that the American League pen
nant fight this year will be the
closest we have had since 1925,
when the Yankees nosed out
Cleveland by two games.
The Philadelphia Athletics, far
out in front at the finish of the
1881 campaign, are going to en-
counter far more stubborn opposi-
ton this year, and I feel sure
that Connie Mack is sincere when
he says there are two or three
clubs in the league which are
occaSioning him plenty of worry.
The Athletics have strengthened
merely in reserve material. New
York has improved it's pitching
and defense. washington has
added power to its attack. Cleve-
land, weak in pitching and field
ing in 81, is believed to have
helped itself in both departments
Of the game.
Browns Have Hopes
st. Louis will take the field with
practically the same team as in
81, but the management is of
the opinion it will finish just as
high as year ago. The Boston
and Chicago clubs have improved
more than any other teams in
the league except New York. De-
troit has made great efforts to re-
build its team and. despite a
rather unsatisfactory training trip,
Is expected to give a better &C
count of itself than a year ago.
If we have race. if our clubs
play good ball, hustle and show
color, I look for satisfactory at
tendance figures despite the un-
favorable conditions.

Arthur Thorn, Woodmont Club
golf pro.
The other day, as dusk was set
ting on the Woodmont course,
Orndorff casually remarked he
could place three drives on the
fifth green, approximately 200
yards from the tee.
DR.. Gottlieb doubted this
declaration and asked proof. The
pair stepped down to the fifth
tee and Orndorff made good his
boast.

Orndorff managed to place two

That's consistent accuracy, five

LONDON, April 26. = England's unemployed are being taught and helped to keep themselves busy in- stead of blankly looking into the grey hopelessness of a jobless fu- tlire.
 They make their own jobs, but get no pay for them.
 All over the Kingdom scores of unemployed co-operatives, believing that the devil finds tasks for idle hands" are arranging work foi men who have been unemployed fod months, sometimes for years.
 With the personal influence of the Prince of Wales boosting il along, social workers see it as one Of the most important develop ments of recent years.
 Queer Situation
 The true meaning of the move ment is deeper than mere inn provement in the physical com fort of the unemployed Thou sands of workers were losing their technical skill and generation oi boys has grown up seeing their fla tfers out of work and with no ex- pectation of jobs for themselves.
 Resentment of this lot has fared into protests which in some in- stances, have grown into the kind of desperate rioting that marks men in the depths of despair.
 So jobless cobblers mend the boots of other jobless men, Un- employed dressmakers mend clothes for other idle women. Carpenter make furniture for their homes. In South Wales there are clubs where unemployed men are learn ing occupations as varied as toy making and raising.
 Grow Vegetables
 Up in Sheffield more than S75.- GOO worth of vegetables was grown on garden plots which cost four cents a week.
 The unemployed coloblers in Eng land have mended more than 5000 pairs of shoes for their jobless neighbors.
 \ In many other places the work less are spending their time iln- proving the recreation grounds .in their town or building city parks. 1 None of these workers is paid for his labor, Most of them draw the dole and remain eligible for paid jobs, should one they can fit turn up.
