ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 27.
Buddy Myer, champion batSman
Of the American League and crea-
tor of a new record for double
plays, is q man who figures per.
centageS on and off the field.
Buddy contends that q man who
creates a value in anything,
whether in real estate, industry, or
an investment of any sort, is en-
titled to a return of at least 4 per
cent upon the appraised worth.
Wherefore, when Buddy asks
Clark Griffith for $40, 900 for 1885,
he is just attempting to put his
business principles and beliefs into
practice.
Per Cent Of Value
You see, the story was broadcast
not so long ago that Griffith
placed a value of $500, 900 on Myer
when Col. Jake Rupert, Of the
Yankees wanted to buy him. Well
$4,000 is only 4 per cent Of Grit
fith's alleged appraisal Of Myers
worth to the team.
Myer is coming into camp in 0
day or so to talk contracts with
Griffith. At the time these two
men will get together in their
usual style and Myer probably
will get a contract calling for close
to $l3, 900, and even at that Buddy
can struggle along.
No word has been received
from Johnny Stone, Buck New
som or Earl Whitehill. Apart
they sit, three sulking rustums,
glowering at fate. Whitehill prob
ably will motor down here from
Hot Springs, and Newsom will
get tired of maintaining his ex-
pensive motor cars on credit.
Will Reach Compromise
They will come to compromise
agreements, for they must play
ball or go to work, and they
know it. Yes, they must play
ball, but the Washington ball
club must have them in the line
up to make the fight that 1t
hopes to make this season.
Newsom wants $4,000. It IS
said that he didn't get any
where near that salary with the
st. Louis Browns. Perhaps not,
but he isn't pitching for the
st. Louis Browns this year. He
is one of the ranking pitchers
in the American League, and a
welcome respite from the drab
and colorless aspects Of the Wash
ington club. This team is COM
prised of boys who are gentle
men. They do the conventional
things in the finest style. But
they're flat.
Newsom is a rainbow that spans
the terrible gap from mediocrity
to verve and life. He deserves a
substantial boost, and if he doesn't t
get his fifteen grand, he should
come close to it.
The average ball player receives
a great deal more than he might
if he went into an office, or a

"Can we play Sunday?"

"Can we play Sunday?"
This is the question on the lips
of every golfer, encouraged by
the warm weather that their long,
forced absence from the game

1t all depends upon a drying
wind and a subsequent cold snap
to freeze the fairways again.
Otherwise, the ground would be

GAlkEMA MAKES TRIP. THROUGH STORMY SEAS FOR OIL CAMP SUPPLIES

Capt. Nick Gaikema arrived in Anchorage aboard the Sea Lion October 23 after a stormy trip bucking heavy winds and a snow storm on Cook Inlet, four days enroute from the camp of the Iniskin Drilling Company, says a recent Anchorage Times.
 Capt. Gaikema, who made the trip to Anchorage to replace blank cts and supplies lost at the bunk house fire at the oil camp, reported the blaze occurred there October l9 Excitement ran high at the camp the night of the fire, he said. The fire started Sunday night about 10 o'clock when many of the men were in bed. When the alarm was spread, the g occupants of the structure jumped out of win dows or managed to get out of doors. Flames rushed through the building and levelled it rapidly.

SEATTLE BUCK PASSING" AS ALASKA GOES HUNGRY

What is popularly known passing the buck is a great old American favorte. When the situation gets little tense it is almost universal habit to shift the responsibility others shoulders if possible glarng example of the old game is in the pres ent maritime strike particularly for those of us the north it effects Alaska
 Yesterday the unions leaders or Seattle Joint Strike Committee radioed to Gov. John w.

They accused the seamen aboard the Northland of violating their contract by unloading that vessel
 We do not know whether the violated their contract not. We do not know anything about the figures in the customs office in Seattle We do not know where the unions got their infor- nation, unless from the customs shipowners that there is no shortage of food in the Territory But we do know that the buck is being passed in grand goat" of two factions which do not seem to care a hang whether eat in Alaska or not

But nevertheless when tyo of Seate's big factions rise up to question the authenticity of reports that short of certain fods in the Territory it is bound to raise question iii the minds of Aaskans of just where Seattle stands If memory serves right, it necessary to lead Alaska ships in Tacoma harbor during the long strike of two ago to get food for residents Of this Territory, who solely dependent on water transportation for such supplies
