Delegate Wickersham has been in- tensely interested in trying to secure an adequate appropriation for the Alaska Road Commission. Failing to hays the House appropriations com mittee recommend the budget esti- mate of $65O,OO0, he sought through an offered amendment to have the House increase the recommendation of $354,310 to the budget figure, but was unsuccessful in this. Then the chairman of the House economy com- mittee sought to have the entire ap- propriation cut from the army bill, but through the Delegates efforts this amendment was defeated, but. by the close vote of, 56 to 51. The bill then went to the Senate and the Dele gate continued his efforts with the appropriations committee, with the resut-that when the bill was reported back to the Senate it. contained an amendment increasing the appropria- tion to. the Alaska Road Commission from $354 ,310 to $494,31O. When the bill passed the Senate on the night of June 9.the increase of $140,0OO was adopted. The bill is now before the conferees of beth houses and their final agreement. will indicate the sum the Commission. is to receive for the next fiscal year, beginning July l, 1882. The Senate increased the ap- .propriation for the Washington Alaska Military Cable and Teegraph System from the House gure of $151,- 280 to. $161,285, and that also is in conference.

Sought By
Griffmen
By GARRETT WATERS

Wanted: A couple OF pltcherS
and a new catcher.
This little item narrows down
as the Washington baseball clubs
platform for 1888.
And Clark Griffith and Joe
Cronin, owner and manager of
the Griffmen's daStinies, have
planned, agreed and what-have'
you to do their durndest toward
bringing these additions to the
club if they possibly can before
another season rolls around.
Just what will be gotten in a
player way to strengthen the
teams pitching and catching de,
partments is not known by either
Owner Griff or Manager Cronin
at this time.
But from the indications some
body will be added, as both agree
that strength must be gained
somehow if the Griffs are going
to be real contender next year.
December, Maybe
A little light as to when" these
additions will be made can be
figured when Owner Griff attends
the annual meeting of big league
magnateS sometime in December
Here the possibilities for trades
always bob up, and no doubt Grifi
believes that he will be able to get
his men at that time.
Griff and Cronin, who helC
quite an interesting meeting" yes
terday, discussed many things
about next years ball club, be
sides the fact that pitchers anG
catcherS had to be added.
They talked of the prospects Of
the several youngsters due to come
up to the club for trials next
spring. Those most discussed were
Cecil Travis, third sacker; Cliff
Bolton, catcher, both of the Chat
tanooga Lookouts, and Gordon
Phelps, catcher, first baSeman anc
outfielder, of the Youngstown Cen
tral Leaguers.
To Watch Travis, Bolton
All will be taken South mex
spring and will be given Thorough
trials. Travis and Bolton, partic
ularly, will be watched, as botf
played excellent ball for Chatta
nooga last summer and turned il
some healthy batting work.
Manager Cronin left immedi
ately after yesterdays confaE
with Griff for San Francisco
where he plans spending the win
ter until training camp time mex
February. He departed feeling
highly joyful over the Griffs
chances next year - providing
those pitching and catching ad
ditionS can be made.
