Russian Pliers Arrive Prepare Leave
No New Taxes to be Introduced at the Next Session

Boring Straits and Siberia and Arcti coast points.
 The first information as they neared Nome was received by the Nugget over leased telephone wire service stating the plane Went over Spruce Creek near Sol omon at 20 PM. today. A few minutes later the telephone an nounced that the Soviet fliers landed at Safety Lagoon, 21 miles east of Nome, at 2:37 PM,
 The failure to fly over the city of Nome was deplored by the citizens of Nome. But after con- tacting the fliers the Nugget rep resentative ascertained the infor- matlon that they were anxious to take advantage of the weather to get back to the land of their birth, which by the way, is only about one and half hours fight from Nome to East Cape, Siberia.
 The fliers immediately put in a call foresWeather- reports. from East Cape while they were busy gassing up their plane, and if fla vorable weather reports arrive they will hop off for Siberia at 6 PM. this evening,
 It is to be regretted that they cannot stay over in Nome and meet their many old acquaintan- ces of former years. But such is the call of time, especially when it comes to flying and the wealth CT is reported good.
 The Soviet plane made the trip from Fairbanks to Safety in four hours flying time. The mo- tors and radio set functioned per fectly and was in constant touch with the U. s. radio station at Nome turnout the trip. How ever, they experienced head winds and fog for most of the way.
 The Soviet plane landed at the same place as Col. Chas. Lind berg and his wife and tied up to the same stake which held Lind berg's plane to the beach in 1881. The same place was also used by the Soviet fliers when they brot Jimmy Matterin, round the world aier, across Boring Sea from Ana dir, when he was forced down on he Siberian coast some three years ago.
 The radio station is busy con- acting the Siberian stations for reports as we go to press and it looks as though the Soviet Hers may not get away tonight, unless they take a chance of land- ng at East Cape some time after seven o'clock PM.
 At five thirty this afternoon he fiiers had gassed up and were .eady to take off for East Cape, Siberia, if weather reports were favorable. As we go to press we are in doubt as to whether they will take off or wait until tomor- 'ow morning.

COLORFUL SHOW PRESENTED AT
 LEGION SMOKER
lack Morrison and George Webb Bring Down House
 in Their Lively Match
By Pap

Winding up the holiday weekend and incidentally, the American Le- zion Convention, packed house was on hand last night in the Elks' Hall for the smoker put on by the Afford John Bradford Post ot Jul neau, and they saw a great show. There were no champions in any of the wrestling or boxing bouts, but there was bodies of showmanshlp and the crowd loved it.
 Headlining the wrestling matches were Texas Jack Morrison and George Webb, a couple of grunt and groan boys that put on great show, winding up with Webb pounc- ing on the referee, seconds entering the general melee and Deputy Mar shal John Mccormick, promoter, getting inside the ropes to quell the riot"
 The official score gives Morrison two falls and Webb one, but who won doesn't matter so much as the entertainment they afforded the crowd, which made the welkin ring with cheers and boos. Both boys had been on that old mat many a time before, and they added carloads of color to a lively show.
 Chris Jorgensen and "Toe Hold Jim Witchoriski were on the other end of the wrestling card, each win ing a fall and the bell stopping the third encounter with the boys tied in knot.
 Tn the main boxing event Sammy Nelson proved too aggressive for Eddie Roberts, former Tacoma boy and won the nod at the end of the six-round affair after fairly good | battle
 Vincent Farrow and Joe Petrie went four rounds to draw in the semi final and in the curtain raiser Joe Tyler knocked out Alex Jack son in the first round for theil scheduled four-round engagement
 Promoter Mccormick and Match maker Jen Junge won the plaudit! of the audience for putting on z {, very entertaining show.

catcher's job. A few years ago ev- cry man on base was a potential burglar and the catcher had to be ready to head him off. No catcher ever remained long in the big show unless he could cope with the base runners. That is no cinch when you stop and consider that the av- craze fast runner can cover the distance between first and second in three seconds. That means that in that time the pitcher has to de- liver the ball, the catcher must receive it and throw it to the second baseman, who has to tag the run ner-it takes speed and accuracy.
 Tn the old days, when players were allowed to mix, all sorts of ri- valries developed" says Dooin George Gibson of the Pirates and I used to have quite time seeing who would be the first to catch 145 games or so season. We took real pride in our work and, let me tell you, it took a serious injury to keep us out of the lineup. We didn't have the string of utility players they have today either"
 The Cincinnati Reds tried to sign Dooin as coach a couple of sea- sons ago but business was good and Red felt that he could get enough baseball by taking in an occasion al big league game on his lifetime pass, and by talking the game with old timers and friends who drop in And besides. according to Red, the game isn't the same today.

 Partial blame for the scarcity of real pitching in the majors today Dooin figures, is due to the lack of capable catching talent A catch CT can make or break pitcher especially young hurler-the tav- ern- keeper thinks.
 T have to laugh when I watch some of these so-called catchers work behind the plate these days, Dooin says. They squat way back of the plate and give the pitcher no target to throw at. In my day the catcher worked right up close to the plate He would reach out and touch the batter to gauge hi distance.

Baseball fans. past and present, take time out to drop in and talk about the game with Red Dooin, cne of the outstanding catchers in the National League a generation ago, and manager of the Phillies from 1909 through 1913. Dooin, with his new battery mate, Andy Grob, runs tavern in Atlantic City and is ever willing to pause and talk baseball.
 The close race in the National League was being discussed when we dropped in to say hello.
 T like the St. Louis Cardinals, '" said Dooin They're the only ma jor league team with anything like the spirit the old-time teams dis played. Spirit will win the pen nant for them"
 Dooin laughed When 1t was Sug- gested that Dizzy Dean was likely to do himself permanent harm with the work-horse program he is following in trying to pitch the Cards to the pennant.
 Why, it will make a real pitcher out of him." explained Red. Al good pitchers of the past did the same thing-that's what made em great. Alexander, Matty, Johnson to name just few, worked out o1 turn when necessary and suffered no ill effects. The trouble with most pitchers today is that they don't work often cough to keep theil control razor-sharp.

&c., Waterbury, Conn.
Nov. 20, 1886.
Dear Editor:-
In response to your invitation I
have taken this opportunity to
express my views relative TO-"
docs Life End at Forty" 1t has
become increasingly evident that
as far cs a mans fitness to cope
with the present abuses associated
with mass production machinery
is concerned would say that life
does end IT 40 for all those en-
ployed In this class.
Speed Is the order Of the day.
In all types Of industrial en-
deavor speed systems are set up
without any regard for the fu-
ture physical welfare Of the em-
ploye at y. The exceptions are
rare. This speed set up Is so ar
ranged that every ounce Of energy
both phy:ical and mental Is re-
quired to meet 1t In the course Of
q days work. This speed isn't
lessened as the body begins to tire
but Is maintained right up to the
.-.nish. Just think Of 1t, your body
calling fer rest and you cannot
heed the call because you dare not
hold up production. You dare not
get til I'd and II you do, you are
Judged nc fit and must go.
SO you shake yourself like a
beaten dog and come back for
more. You make 1t go. You have
TO. Records show that 1t can be
done and so 1t Is. Did you ever
feel the strain OF a motor when
driving up a steep hill in high
gear? First 1t begins to slow down,
then to culver and If you do shift
1t finally stops dead, II kept up
long enough something gives and
so with the human body. All, yes.
the car does have a second shift
and this need not happen and
now / suppose some efficiency ex-
pert thinks to himself, the hui
man body has a second wind. but
for how long? Hence life ends at
forty.
Little do industrialists know OF
the heartacheS, WEAKNESS OF body
and some the mental torture in
volved by the employe In trying
