Final Standings of the Teams.

The Pine County Baseball League
championship race ended on Sunday
without a championship playoff when
Sturgeon Lake defeated Finlayson by
the score of "a to Z, and clinched
for themselves both the first and sec
ond half of the seasons schedule. The
record of the championship club is
thirteen victories and two defeats,
the defeats coming from the N. P. S.
Club in the first half and Brook Park
in the second half

feature of the Finlayson game as five
home runs, four triples and five dou-
bles were made. The Sturgeon Lake
nine nicked two Ffnlayson pitchers
for twenty-four hits, Monroe Cunning
ham getting two circuit drives, Gay
and McHale collecting one each. Oh
son collected triple, a double and
two singles in six times at bat and
Gay, besides getting a home run, hit
a triple and a double in four times

and power.

The victory for Sturgeon Lake gave
to that club its fifth pennant in the

DimOnd Successful In
 Alaska Bills Passed

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 30.- Every one of the twenty bills intro duced in the House by Delegate Di- mond and reported out of committee during the second session of the Seventy-Third Congress was passed. The Mckinley Park and Nylin bills, passed by the Senate, received House approval in the closing hours. Nineteen of these bills were approved and one was vetoed by the President. He declined to approve the Mckinley Park bill because, it is believed, of opposition expressed by the Department of the Interior. The bills approved were as follows;
 l. Giving Erik Nylin, former Bu- reau of Education employee in Alaska, the right to apply to the U. s. Employees Compensation Com mission for compensation.
 2. 3, 4, and 6. Authorizing Douglas, Fairbanks, Juneau, Skag- way and Wrangell to issue bonds for public works.

SAN FRANCISCO TRANSFERS STRIKE
 ADDS TO GENERAL LABOR UNREST

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.- Like a rock tossed into a pool, the teamsters strike sent overwhelming waves into every channel of business in every section of the city. Gaso- line. food supplies, vegetables, fruit, coal, wood and fuel trucks came to a halt yesterday as 25OO drivers of heavy trucks obeyed the strike call here, and 120O in East Bay.
 Milk, bakery, laundry and retail delivery wagons and taxicabs were not affected, but stoppage of gaso- line trucks with only three days supply in service station tanks may soon hit them, too, it was feared. The only exceptions made were the hauling of food and fuel supplies to hospitals and fire department sta tions, and to get the baggage of the Knights Templar who have been in national convention here, out of the city by midnight.
 Food stores reported a rush by housewives to lay in supplies of staples, with canned goods, ham and bacon and beans leading in sales.
 A virtual blockade was thrown across the southern entrance to the city in the wake of the strike of union teamsters Five hundred strikers and sympathizers gathered in South San Francisco and turned back all northbound trucks at Bay shore Boulevard, and threatened to overturn one truck when the driver insisted on continuing to San Fran cisco.
 Meanwhile a band of men had overturned truck in the Richmond district, and Police Chief Quinn had warned that police would break up any attempt of crowds to gather.
 Wholesalers watched and waited in vain for deliveries of meat, fruit, vegetables, liquor, flour, furniture and gasoline deliveries were at 8 standstill. No freight was moving from warehouses to stores,
 Nearly four thousand union driy- ers-twenty-five hundred in San Francisco, twelve hundred in Oak land-had walked out in sympathy with the thousands of maritime workers now on strike.
 Michel Casey, teamsters' presi- dent, pledged his word that there would be no violence.
 SEATTLE-Boycot of California goods was advocated by Paddy Nor ris, Tacoma chairman of the North west strike committee, before the Washington State Federation of La bor convention.
 EVERETT-Labor was warned by leaders against calling a general strike, pointing out the wreckage of the 1919 general strike in Seattle.
