Singapore Another Gibraltar.

(Sydney Australia, Church Times)
 Singapore is the only passage through wall of rock that separates the Pacific Ocean from the Indian Ocean. Traffic between the two must pass through Singapore. Nor is that all Nature has made the position even more secure by the fact that the approach is guarded by treacherous danger ous currents and channels No ship pass through the channel without pilot. The secrets of these currents closely guarded. Only British born allowed to become pilots They hold the key to the position A ship trying to force its way through the channel without of these men aboard would soon be smashed to pieces
 In strengtening it's strategic position every pos sible has been made of the advantages provided by Nature. The naval base is tucked away in the sheltered Straits of Johore which is fifteen miles northward from the port of Singapore
 The entrance to the Straits is commanded by Cape Changi, and group of islands, and it is rumored that the best land Notifications in the world being built these islands to protect the base Gun supplements being constructed under of Natures tangled growth by men sent out specially from England.

JUST A SUGGESTION.

Two weeks of the Twelfth Alaska Territorial Legislature has become history; organization has been perfected and some 36 bills, resolutions and memorials have been introduced before the respective bodies, the vast majority of them in the House
 None of the proposals, with exception of a de- 1lclency appropriation bill and few of the memorials, have gotten further than committee a natural conclusion usually there is no cause to rush through legislation which may have vital bearing on the Territory.
 There are, however many more bills to be introduced. Nearly every Legislator has one or two proposals which he is duty bound to present whether they get consideration not. Point has been made on several occasions by both President Hess of the Senate and Speaker Holman of the House the need for early introduction of bills in an effort to avoid as much as possible the always existing jam in the closing days
 The major appropriation measures liquor control proposals and taxation matters take time and much study In committee before they be brought out Tn intelligent shape. And the work of committees studying these subjects is going to be multiplied as time goes on
 Thus it would seem the Legislators could facili. tate their own work by introducing their bills early Tn the session allowing their committees time te consider them, thus, in part at least clearing the decks for the Territorial problems they must attenc to before six weeks more has expired

If Hughes could hit major
league pitching. If Hughes could
throw. If Hughes could make
double plays the way Bill Knick-
erbocker made them. .. If Hughes
didn't fold up like an accordian
under pressure of major league
form, and if the presence of
Knickerbocker on the bench,
when the star shortstop of 1884
returned to duty, didn't make
him stop, then everything might
be all right.
Everything is all right in Cleve-
land so far as Roy John Hughes
is concerned. The subject is open
to debate with Knickerbocker. Up
to date the latter has not been
able to force Hughes out of the
lineup. No higher praise can be
written about any ball player
than Just that statement.
Hitting in the lead off slot,
Hughes has compiled an aver
age of .275, which is good enough
for most big league clubs. He has
a good eye and draws his share
of bases on balls.
Fielding Important
But Hughes fielding is of
more Importance to the Indians
than his batting and this despite
the fact that the Tribe is hitting
only .267 as compared to the
team average of .287 compiled
last year.
Hughes is just playin' great
ball" said Walter Johnson today.
"He's playin' SO that we'd be
crazy to break up the infield as
it's agoin'. He and BOzie Ber-
ger are making plays around
second base as good as any one
of you ever saw. When you get
a couple O'young felIers playin'
that way, the thing to do is let
'em play.
"Hughes has more than just
pIayin' ability" said johnson.
"He has nerve. He knows he's
settin' on the hot spot. He looks
at the bench and sees Knicker-
booker. When he makes an
errOr-and all players make
errOrs-the crowd hOllers for
KnickerbOcker.
"That stuff might make some
youngsters jittery. 1t only makes
Hughes fight harder. When he
boots a play, as like as not he'll
come right back with a far
greater one, and turns the boots
into cheers.
DESERVES CREDIT
"Course, I'm not talking down
KnickerbOcker" said johnson
earnestly. "I'l just say that
Hughes deserves a lot of credit
for playing great bali, under
pressure.
"What about Berger? The
boys at Maryland would like to
know how he's playing" asked.
Berger is just as good a sec.
Ond baseman a ever you saw"
Walter replied. ''He isn't hit

cellency," from now on, insofar
as his ability to improve the
breed of the thoroughbred is
concerned.
When you stop to think of the
significance of Omaha's latest
sorties into characterization
constitutionalS, it becomes prac-
tically overwhelming, coupled
with his dads similar deeds.
His dual victory within an
eight-day space of time athwart
of what Mr.. Woodward and we
horsemen like to call "a stretch
of ground" right in the very
tracks his own father left at
Louisville and Baltimore just
five years ago, should be les
son in perseverance to all Of
us.
If at first you don't succeed,
try, try again. Isn't that the
old copy book quotation?
Long, Hard Pull
Well, the first time you get
discouraged in some attempt,
just remember that for nearly
go years now, they've been try
ing to get a son of a father
who had won the Derby and
the Preakness, to duplicate the
old mans capers-and here, 81
years after the Derby was born
and So years after the Freak
ness became an actuality, it's
done for the first time-with
10000 witnesses on hand who
can tell of it to their children
and their children'S children,
none of whom may ever see it
done with their own eyes.
And isn't there a biblical ad-
monition to the general effect
that to him who hath shall be
given?
Now I have no idea such
script was ever intended for the
foreword of a racing manual,
yet I would like to know just
what this financial giant, Will
liam woodward, is going to do
with all that Derby and Freak
ness purse, which must run
somewhere upwards of $65, 000.s
Some Golden Oats
It just goes to show that him
what has, gifts.
The man doesn't any more
need that jack than you need
to save up your old match stems
for next winters fuel. Why,
the fellow fairly reeks with what
it takes-as we say in our horsey
set.
He'll cut Trainer Sunny Jim
Fitzsimmons in for about 10 per
cent and Jockey Smokey Will
liam Saunders for another 10,
and the rest will have to go beg
ging, that's all. He'll simply be
unable to utilize it, what with
practically owning bank of his
own.
He ought to throw a party for
Omaha, and invite all of the
cousins and the uncles and the
aunts, and Omaha's paw, Gal
liant Fox, and his NAV, Flam-
bino, whose little bambino
Omaha is.
Give 'em buckets of that good,
golden oats!

, Yea, the old Belair farm was
all aglow over the weekend.
The master was down from
New York for his spring stay.
There were curls of smoke
spiraling up from the great
chimneys, bespeaking slow fires
burning in the huge places be-
low.
The March of Time
There were huge limousines
and touring cars standing out
side where two score years ago
when William Woodward was a
blithe young blade, there used
to be hitched gay tallyhoes.
Inside there was not only a
hearty handclasp, but a cup
that cheers and a wide smile
from a moustached lip that be-
spoke the genuine pride which
gIowed throughout the immense
frame of the gentleman sports
man who lived to raise the son
of a Derby-Preakness winner
that would duplicate his
fathers featS.
I should say that the Burgher'
master of Belair is rising sixty"
two or sixty-three. And he car
ries every one of them lightly:
yet with the dignity that would
become the head of a huge New
York financial concern, say
nothing of president of the
Jockey Club. You know, in our
set, when you speak of the
Jockey Club, it means just one
club, New York's.
A ruddy complexioned, grey
ing gentleman, is Mr.. Wood

reserve that it'd be hard for you
to imagine naught but his most
