YUKON CLOSING ON DAWSON
 FRONT SET NEW RECORI

The Yukon river closed in front of Dawson in the neighborhood of loo o'clock Friday morning, Dec ember 4th, to set a new all-time record for late freeze-up-ten days over the previous record of November 24, l923-and the first time for ice to be flowing in the month of December in front of Dawson.
 The exact time of closing is some what doubtful as there was a heavy fog resting over the moving ice, making it impossible to discern it's movement.
 Full runs of ice were reported that week at all points along the river to the south of Dawson, but complete freezeup was expected within a few days.

blows and so did Kuhel. But some
how or other, the Yankees blasted
when blasting meant most.
Lou Gehrig poled his thirty-sec-
ond home run of the season, clear
ing the right field fence in the
third inning. This blow followed a
double by Joe DiMaggio with the
bases jammed, and in that frame
the Yankees scored five runs. Even
Johnny Murphy, the Yankee
pitcher came up with a double and
drove in a tally with far-flung
double.
The entire matter simmered
down to a pitching, and the Griffs
went through the usual routine.
Dick Lanahan started, and sub

Cohen and Bucky Jacobs to the
mound. Jacobs pitched the ninth
inning and allowed two hits but
