Hall Is Victor in
Feature Mat Scrap
Ohio GrappIer Holds Own in
East Company.

He came to tussle in the prelim,
but stayed to win the main go. That
was the story of Stacey Hall Of
Ohio last night when Earl wild
cat Mccain, who was slated tn
mix with Jack Domar, Texas, in the
feature wrestling bout at the North
Illinois street Arena, failed to put in
an appearance.
Hall was moved up from tho
semi windup to tackle Domar, and
proved his main event mettle by
tossing the barrel-chested Texan in
two out Of three falls.
Harry Burrus, popular young An
derson grappler, had little trouble
with Walter Hickman, who replaced
hall in the semi windup. Burrus
slowed Hickman with a series of fly
ing mares and pinned him in ten
minutes for the initial spin. An air
plane whirl followed by a top body
pin put Hickman away in eight
minutes in the final joust.
Dan Bray spiked Red Strassinger
with leg split to cop the opener
in twenty minutes.

WIMBLEDON, England, June 30.
Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, Cal,
and Sarah Palfrey of Brcokline,
Mass, today reached the quarter
finals of the all-England tennis
championships Women's singles.
Each won in straight sets.
Miss Jacobs defeated Jacqueline
Goldschmidt of France, 60, 6-3,
while Miss Palfrey bested the Polish
star, Jedwiga JedrzejoWska, 60, 6-2.
Miss Jacobs showed a distinct re-
versal of yesterdays form, easily
trouncing the French player, who
made the mistake of trying to
match Helen's baseline drives. Miss
Jacobs soon found a weak spot in
Mile. Goldschmidt' backhand and
peppered it relentleSsly. Mile
Goldschmidt tired badly in the Sec
ond set after having been forced to
run from side to side trying to catch
Helens well-executed placements.
Miss Palfrey's match with Mile
Jedrzejowska was mainly a duel
from the baseline with the Polish
ace occasionally scoring brilliant
corner drives and scorching side
line placements. Mile. Jedrzejowska
also attempted several drop shots,
but Miss Palfrey was too fast for
her.
Peggy Scriven of England joined
Miss Palfrey and Miss Jacobs in
the round of eight by eliminating
Carolin Babcock of California, 81,
6-8. e..

Somers died in his summer home
at Put-In-Bay, tiny port on an
isl md in Lake Erie, yesterday after
a !ong illness.
Organizers of the American
League preceding him in death were
Bvron Bancroft Johnson, hrst
nresident of the circuit, and Charles
Comiskey, owner of the chicago
White SoX. !,
In 1900, after Ben johnson mac
decided the time was ripe Tor or
oanizing another major league cir
cuit Somers and j. F. Kilfoyle, an
other Ohioan, organized the CleVe-
land club. Later Somers put money
in the Boston, Philadelphia ana
Chicago clubs.
It was Somers' engineering that
brought three of baseball's greatest
stars - Napoleon Lajoie, second
baseman; Bill Bernhard, pitcher
and Elmer Flick, outf1elder = 70
Cleveland from the Athletics waile
the two major leagues were fighting
over players.
The Cleveland club never won
remnant under Somers' regime, but
finished only half-game back OF
Detroit in 1908. Somer's retired IN

An auctioneer, who takes 6 per
cent of the total value of the pool
for the association and himself, is
employed to auction off pools. He
generally stands on box, under
or near the grand stand or other
betting sheds, with a helper who
writes on tickets what each bidder
buys" horse for in a race.
Money Is Pooled
If there are five horses entered,
the auctioneer starts with the ia
vorite, with the names of all the
long tails listed on a slate. The auc-
tioneer asks for bids on the favor
lite. Maybe he gets a 5000 bid. He
repeats this to his assistant, who
jots it down on card and the bid
der picks this up then or little
later.
Then the auctioneer asks for bids
on the second horse. Maybe this
one will bring 500, the third horse
$75, the fourth $50, and the fifth
$25. That makes a total pool of
$3.50. Whatever horse wins the par
ticular race on which this pool was
sold wins the total amount of the
pool minus per cent, for the
holder of the ticket on that horse.
Everybody else is out of luck. A
second pool may be sold on the
same race.
AS evidence of the entirely diff
ferent atmosphere and kind~of fol-
lower that typifies a trotting track,
as compared with some running
tracks of the past and some other
forms of sport, nine times out of
ten the auctioneer never sees the
color of any actual cash when the
various bids are made.
Veterans Signal Bets
Men like Walter Cox, veteran
trainer; w. N. Reynolds, tobacco
magnate and horse owner; R. j.
Reynolds, his nephew; William H.
Cane, sponsor of the Hambletonian
at Goshen; Henry Knight, Chicago
automobile man; j. j. Mooney Of
Detroit; David M. Look, New York
broker; L. B. Sheppard, shoe manu-
facturer of Hanover, Pa; Will
Hughes, Cleveland provision COM
pany man; Allan Wilson, Boston
trucking contractor; Irving Gleason,
retired capitalist of Williamsport,
Pa; and others will simply raise a
finger or stick to signify a bid.
Many times these men, from long
experience with auctioneers, merely
will transmit some signal to them
to signify the amount they wish
to wager. Since the auctioneer has
to repeat aloud to his assistant
what each bid is and name the
bidder, often times initials, real or
fancied, are applied to ticket
purchased by a widely known vet
eran of the courses.
Returning to the trust" aspect
OF it, group of veterans like those
listed in the foregoing have bet as
much as 100000 on one race in
the old prosperous days through the
auction pools. None of this money
actually was handled at the time
of the bid.
The auctioneers know their men
are reliable and will pay if they
lose.

I States unscathed by gunfire.
 The open season for native game birds, i.e., ptarmigan and grouse, is from September 1st to Febru- ary 28th, bag limit Is grouse, 25 ptarmigan, or 25 in the aggregate. The season for migratory wildfowl IS fixed from year to year under the migratory bird treaty act. No license is required of residents for taking small game, but for non- residents fee of $l0 is needed.
 Viewed as a whole the game of Alaska is abundant as to numbers. exceptional as to species repre- sented, and well balanced as to distribution. Where blind" spots occur they are being filled in by restocking and by transplantation. Thus the region around Cordoya has been heavily seeded with deer rom Southeast Alaska; a herd of sixty buffalo from Montana now roam the Tanana Valley; musk oxen from Greenland are now be- ing studied and propagated at Falrbanks prior to placing them in their proper habitat; Olympic elk have been successfully planted on Afognak Island; mountain goats from the adjacent mainland have been established on Baranof Island, in addition to which there have been, and will continue to be, numerous paintings of smaller game and furbearers throughout the Territory.
 Nor has the wild life indigenous to the country been allowed to wane; native species more sub- ject to decimation than others, such as the marten, beaver, moose and mountain sheep have been accorded special protection when in has appeared warranted.
 A general survey of the faunal situation in Alaska thus shows 1 that our wild life has contributed heavily in building up a rich Ter ritory from the untracked wilder

Their chief value lays in the fact that they offer the winter resident and traveller a ready sup ply of small game when it would be wasteful to kill big game ami nal. The snowshoe hare and the large Arctic hare, though not re- garded as game in Alaska, supply similar need.
 Migratory game birds visit Alas ka in, great numbers, nesting and rearing their broods throughout the Territory in comparative security from human enemies. In addition to the whistling swan and the lit- tie brown crane there are seven varieties of geese, a large assort- ment of ducks, and many shore birds. There are extensive marshes where the wildfowl gather in great numbers during the fall season, but owing to the light population most of the ducks and geese reach the
