all colleges must make of ath-
letics the valuable adjunct to
education which athletics may
be made. Coaches should be
faculty men. The intercOllegi-
ate and intramuraI programs
must be all inclusive, must an
ticipate the wants and the
needs of all students, includ-
ing among others those under
graduates who seek recreation
by way of contrast and in
formal play rather than highly
competitive forms of athletics"
Mr.. Driver, after pointing out
the necessity for a form of col
lege athletics which creates in
the individual habits of exer-
else which will prove valuable
after undergraduate days, and
after predicting renewal by all
universities of the intercollegiate
athletics pledge of honor in
sport, called attention to the
necessity of athletics proving
Serviceable to the more studious
students among the undergradu-
ates.
He paid high tribute to H. C.
Curly Byrd, Maryland's director
of athletics and football coach,
and renewed a pledge of faith in
the friendly rivalry of the athletic
field between Virginia and Mary
land.
Explains Details
He explained details of the ideal
relationship existing between the
two colleges and stated his belief
that sportsmanship is best eX-
pounded by two such colleges in
athletic contests marked by the
mutual respect of opponents and
by faith, trust and confidence be-
tween athletic and academic Off
cials charged with the duty of pre-
serving such a rivalry.
Maryland's long line of athletes,
who have given the TerrapinS
their traditions as we'll as their
victories, were represented by
more than $50 former athletic
stars at the Old Line university.
DR.. Frank B. Bomberger was

sity of Maryland delivered the
address of welcome. James M.

coach, presented letters to mem
bers of the football team of 1882.
Robert M. Watkins, professor OF
public speaking at the univer-
sity, in an interesting March Of

the story of Terrapin sport from

About 25 Per Cent

Furthermore, the general
economy wave which has been
effected in the Washington
house of baseball amounts to
Is per cent, or SO close to it
that it would take a meat Slicer
to shave off the difference.
That economy, from what has
come to our ears out of other
industries, is about in keeping
with the savings instituted in
other walks of business. In
some it has been less. In others
It has been more.
However, it strikes us that
no ball player can object to
taking a cut when he knows
his fellows on the team proper
and the executives of his club
are taking them also.
No ball player with a proper
sense of sportsmanship will
want an advantage that isn't
mutual among his fellows, any
more than one would want a
disadvantage operating against
him that also wasn't being
felt by his MATES.

Predicting a new era for inter
collegiate athletics, with all
semblance of the racket" elimi-
mated, Mr.. Driver forecasted
presidential and board of trustee
responsibility for athletics. He
outlined Virginia's beliefs apropos
college athletics as part of educa.
ton and as a medium through
which may be developed the desir-
able ethical characteristics of true
craftsmanship.
"The day is here" said Mr..
Driver, when the standard by
which the coach is measured
is not victory or defeat in the
contest played but rather by
success achieved by the coach
in developing in his charges
those moral and ethical quail
ties which have always been
desirable.

On paper, the Yanks figure to
be stronger than they were last
year when they outdistanced the
pack. The pitching staff will be
stronger and better balanced, and
while there is real cause to doubt
that Babe Ruth, Tony Lazzeri, Joe
Sewell and Earl Combs will be
as good as they were, one can
only figure them on what they've

games last season and should do
as well this year. Danny Mac
Fayden was almost a total loss
after the Yanks brought him
from the Red Sox but he may
come back as winner.
Cy Moore, of sinker ball fame,
and Herb Pennock are surely tops
as relief men. And Joe Mccarthy
should be able to pick a winning
spot here and there for Don
Brennan, Walter Brown and Russ
van Alta, three of the classiest
rockies in the country.
Lou Gehrig is still the ace of
first basemen. Tony LazZeri may
be slowing down but he was the

ink prospect from Buffalo, are
ready to take over the third base
assignment.
Question Marks
You have seen better infields,
of course, but you have also seen
many worse.
Will Babe Ruth and Earl
Combs stand up all year? If Joe
Mccarthy could answer this ques-
ton affirmatively he wouldn't
have a care in the world. Joe
knows Ben Chapman, the speed
boy, should improve and the
other two will be great as long
as they last.
Ruth is in better condition to
start than he has been in years
but it is doubtful if he can go
the route. If either he or Combs
need a rest, the Yanks can fall
back on Myril Hoag, one of the
prize youngsters of the country,
and Sam Byrd. And when I say
fall back, I don't mean to
insinuate that they will have to
fall back very far to reach Hoag,
for baseball men say he might
win the job on his merits if he
did not have to compete against
the drawing power of Babe Ruth
at the gate.
In any event while the teams
fielding may not be so hot, and
it's speed nothing to rave over, it
has smart catching, great pitch
ing and the most power of any
team in the game. And while ii
may fall apart suddenly, as
other pennant winners have done
that pitching plus terrific hitting
make it a logical choice to re-
peat.

GARDEN DAYS

Home industry in Wrangen for
the past two weeks has meant in
tensive garden work. The weather
has been beautiful, with bright
sunny days not too hot. Day be-
gins at 4 o'clock in the morning,
and closes with brilliant lingering
sunsets in the evening. Lights
have not needed to be turned on
until about 9 o'clock. The days
will gradually grow still longer
until the latter part of June, when
daybreak at , o'clock will follow
a short night.
The long hours of daylight, the
rich soil at Wrangell and a suffi-
cheney of moisture. combine to pro-
duce a luxuriant vegetation.
The good old Wrangell carry
on spirit is evidenced by the fact
that almost every Wrangell home
shows a garden under way, both in
flowers and vegetables. and soma

ance of the home. inside and out.
Most of us haven't much money
to spend this year but we are i'm
proving our homes and gardens by
dint of much hard labor, utilizing
all the surplus energy of the mem
bers of the family, and taking a
great satisfaction in the result OF
our work Every one should take
a walk over town and see for him
self what is being accomplished.

TOUGH PROPOSITION

An old newspaper man said this
to us, not long after we started: II
a business man buys himself pair
of socks, that doesn't answer any
body's demand for socks but his.
No one can drop in and say Let
me have your socks awhile, Bill. !"
His wife can't say, Papa, when
you get through with those socks,
hand them over to me-" One of the
neighbors can't drop in and say.
81 thought I'd come over and see
if you were through with your
socks" But with a newspaper it's
different. One copy will answer
very well for 20 people. Tough
proposition, this running a paper.

ALASKA APRIL EXPORTS SHOW
BIG GAIN OVER 1882 VALUE

Exports from Alaska during
April, 1888, shows an increase in
value of $266,97s, over the 1882
exports, according to John C. Nc
Bride, Collector # Customs at Ju-
neau, in his April report on the

ments from Alaska.
The chief difference arises from
the export shipment in halibut
and salmon. Salmon shipments in
April 1898, exceeded April 1882
shipments by approximately $780,
600. April 1888 halibut shipments,
however, decreased more than
100000 from April, 1892. Gold
shipments during April 1888 ex-
ceeded last years gold by $4,000.
Mr.. McBride's report follows:

was not acted upon by Congress.
Only a few days ago, the Alaska
Legislature, by memorial urged Con-
gress to pass such a law. 1t consid-
cred the matter very thoroughly be-
fore taking that step, and its view
represents that of a majority of
Alaskans.
Under all precedent, these pio-
neers in a unique industry are en-
titled to the consideration sought.
The lands they hold under lease
are part of the public domain.
They have been classified as more
suitable for the raising of fur-bear-
ing animals than for any other
purpose. The traditional policy of
the United States, the one that was
largely instrumental in the coun-
try's great growth in the nine
teenth century, is to get the public
lands into private ownership. That
is the only reasonable method of
tying a people to the land. Owner
ship is the only thing that will do
it. 1t is the only way so far devised
to make the people self-supporting.
The fur-farmers of Alaska are
asking for nothing that was not
granted to stock raisers of the
West. There, homesteads of $40
acres were granted. The local fur
farmers ask for only 80 acres.
They are not asking for the public
lands to be thrown wide open to
them for that purpose. They are
willing to first establish themselves,
build their plants and stock their
areas, operating for a period of two
years before making entry They
further agree to add another three
years, bringing the total use and
occupancy to five years, and in ad-
dition to pay the sum of $3.50 per
acre for the land.
They are entitled to this to pro-
tect their investments in buildings
of all kinds for themselves and
their stock. Under the leasing sys-
TEN they have none. They have
title only to the improvements,
which are listed as personal prop
erty, and if for any reason they
lose their leases, that investment
isn't worth much. 1t is impossible
to move the improvements off the
leaseholds, and, lacking title to the
land upon which they stand, they
have no market value under such
conditions. This ought to be chang
ed without delay.
