Charmingly decorated with spring flowers, the Episcopal Deanery was the scene of an informal reception held in honor of Bishop Peter Trimble Rowe by the Trinity Guild last evening from o'clock until II o'clock

BOARD SETTLES MOOT QUESTION ON H|' SCHOOLS s
Will Not Maintain Advanc- ed Courses in Larger
 Unincorporated Towns

Communities in which Territorial schools are maintained, which are eligible for incorporation and ne- glect or refuse to incorporate, will have to get along without high school courses in the future. This was made plain by the Territorial Board of Education yesterday af- ternoon when it finally settled that question.
 It adopted a resolution that in the future no high school courses will be offered by the Territory in communities with sufficient popu- lation and other qualifications for incorporation who do not proceed to incorporate.
 This has been moot question for several years. In the schools outside of incorporated towns, the Territory pays all of the cost of maintenance and operation Of schools and provides buildings. h. corporated towns provide buildings for schools and defray a portion of the cost.
 The Board last year endeavored to have a number of communities

THOMAS ASHBY|
 ARRIVED HERE
 50 YEARS AGO
Local Pioneer Has. Spent Half Century in Mining
 Areas of North Ia

Thomas H. Ashby, pioneer min ing man of Alaska, is today cele- brating the fiftieth anniversary of his arrival in Juneau. He has, re- sided in the north ever since that time and was in the Yukon more than a decade before the Klondike was discovered. ;s
 MT. Ashby, his brother, Oscar, and three nephews of Richard T. Harris, who with Joe Juneau dis covered gold here, landed in Juneau on May II, 1884, all of them coming from Missouri upon receipt of the word of the discovery.
 Remaining here but two years, MT. Ashby went farther north in search of new gold fields. He was on the Stewart River, tributary of the upper Yukon River, in 1886, and the next year found him in the thriving camp at Forty Mile.
 Five years there and he pulled his stakes and went to Hootalinqua and prospected in that district until 1895 when he shifted down river to Circle He was in that camp when word of the strike at Klcndike River came through. With Billy Leake and two other old timers he mushed upriver over the ice and landed in that camp in the spring of 1897.
 There he remained mining and prospecting until the Fall of 1900 when he went to the States to spend the winter. The next Spring he joined the rush to Nome where fer 13 years he continued in the placer mining game.
 In 1913 he returned to this city and has made his home here ever since. For 40 years out of the half-century have lived in the. north, I was engaged in placer mining and prospecting for quartz. It's real game and am still going strong" MT. Ashby declared today. 'a @ie aiA Nfs

HONOR TH0RP
At CONFAB

NEW YORK, July IA new
trophy, which will be known as
the Ed Thorp Memorial Trophy,
will be awarded each year to the
leagues champion team, it was
decided at the closing business
session of the National Leagues
two-day netting here.
Named in honor Of the we'll
known official, who died recently,
the trophy, which will be a per-
petual prize. was adopted upon
the suggestion of Bert Bell, of
Philadelphia. The trophy will
remain in possession of the title
winning club for one year, and
a small replica, which may be
kept permanently, will also go to
the champions.
Vote ON Title Game
AS regards the championship
contest, the league members also
voted that the title game be
played in the East one year end
in the west next. The plan is to
be put in effect next fall, when
the play-off game between the
Eastern division and Western
division winners for the league
championship will be contested
in the East.
One change in the pro regula-
tions provides that a substitute
player entering a game may COM
municate with his teammates i'm
mediately instead of waiting until
one play is completed. Another
states that the officials must
notify the coach of each team
when the team has exhausted
its three legal time-outs in each
half.
Becomes tumble
Under another alteration a
forward pass made hand-to-hand
behind the line of Scrimmage
which is incomplete automatically
becomes a tumble. and as a result
each team has a chance to re-
cover the ball. Another change
rules that within 10 yards of the
goal line a defensive team shall
be penalized only half the dis
lance to the goal line instead Of
five yards.

of either factor in over 80 per
cent Of the games this year is
something to ponder. So is the
fact that the law of averages
certainly will return him to the
club for full duty for the second
half Of the season.
A Different Club
With Luke Sewell in mask and
chest pad for any sustained
period. the Griffmen should
look like a different club. With
Joe Cronin to keep up the life
and spirit Of the middle ground
and Sewell to keep a check rein
on some Of our faltering
pitchers, I do not think the
seven games which today stand
between Washington and the
top of the heap are inSurmount-
able.
Of course Washington looked
Indifferent in the short Yankee
series. But the YankS happen
right now to be in stride and the
Griffmen decidedly out Of
theirs. If you have followed the
McCarthymen this season you
know they are not immune to
the doldrums. Any team that
is hitting looks good, and in
that respect, some Of those
Yanks at the moment seem to
be leading charmed lives.
What Washington'S ball team
needs is to get its chin UP and
keep it there as against the good
breaks that must be stacked
somewhere in the cards for
them. The most casual fans
know that what breaks the
clubs had this year have been
bad. It's practically the same
club as it was last year when
it won the flag by exactly the
number of games that it right
now is trailing the leader. Ger
talnly this is too soon to give
up on q team like that,
