Southwark Push Steady.

Southwark Push Steady.
T Asst year the st. Louis Cardinals
- spent a week in Havana before
going to Bradenton, Fla, their train
ing base. The Cincinnati Reds also
spent about 10 days in Puerto Rico
and Santo Domingo before going to
Tampa. The Giants will spend con-
siderable time in Havana this Spring,
so I hear, but the Athletics will train
all the time in Mexico City and no
other place.
1t is a far cry from the Carolinas
to the tropics as training place,
which shows the steady progress of
base ball In the early years of the
American League, We thought it en-
terprising to get our players In shape
in North or South Carolina.
We pushed farther and farther
south as the years wore on. We
thought we had performed quite a
coup when We took our players to At
lanta, Ga That seemed quite a dis
tance from Philadelphia
In time, the three most favored
States to train were Florida, Texas and
California. The Carolinas, Georgia
and Alabama were completely passed
up. You could not be sure Of warm
weather there
OF the three States. the ma
jority of teams chose Florida be-
cause this State held out the
greatest hope of sunshine and
warmth.

retirement lists.
Mark Koenig, II years in the majors
and a member of five pennant-w win
ming outfits, saw his last action when
the Giants lost the 1886 world series.
He has been given his unconditional
release. Among the pitchers, Gen.
ALVIN Crowder already has announced
his retirement, while the numbers ap-
pear up for such other old timers as
George Blaeholder, Ray Benge, George
Earnshaw, Roy Mahaffey and Rube

Interest High In Mexico.

In going to Mexico City we are
virtually tapping virgin soil. I be-
lieve that we will have one of the
most profitable training trips in the
history Of the club because the Mexi-
cans are keen for base ball. We had
no difficulty booking games There
are many teams in Mexico City and
nearby.
All Mexico is interested in our COM
ing. This country has advanced so
much in base ball that its players
are now being sought by major and
minor league clubs.
Other major league clubs will fol-
low our experiences in the southern
republic. 1t may mean that more
clubs will train there in 1898.
Our trip to Mexico is only a step
toward what is to come. In a few
years, when air transportation becomes
more general, I don't doubt for a
minute that teams will be training
in the Panama Canal Zone, the West
Indies and northern South America.

Werber, one of the speed boys Of
base ball, thinks the deader ball that
will come in to use in the 1888 cam
paign will help such type of players
as himself There will be a return
TO more scientific base ball, such as

 Letter

lContinued From Page Two) in the Territory. To provide an opportunity for the voters of AL aska to decide for themselves whether the two-house legiSla- t1re will be contiued or whether a one-house legislature shall be established in its place, Delegate Dimond, who personally favors a one-house legislature, introduc ed a bill on April 26 to provide for a referendum as to the estab- lishment of such one-house leg islature.
 The proposed measure provides that at the 1888 general election ballot shall be furnished to each voter on which he can indi- cate his preference for a one- house legislature or that he does not favor such legislature. The bill stipulates that the ballot shall be separate and apart from the ballot which embraces the names of the candidates for effice to be voted upon at such election" Provision is made that the expense of printing and hand ling the special referendum bal lots shall be paid in the same manner as the other costs and eX penses of said election

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
 WAS GREAT SUCCESS

Aunt Abby Answers An Ad,' a three-act comedy presented in the Nome Sch9ol Auditorium on Saturday evening by the High School Student Body, drew a large and appreciative audience to wit ness its very successful culmina- tion. The play was highly enter taining and kept even the most dubious in gales of mirth.
 The presentation afforded the students splendid opportunity for characterization and they showed excellent ability in their portray alS. The part of Aunt Abby the man-hating old maid, around whom the play revolved, was per formed by Virginia Calkins and much credit is due the young lady for her acting and the re- sponSibility which she carried so ably. Vesta Poison as "Lucindy", houSekeeper for Miss Abby" gave fine representation, even to the facial grimaces which so well became her part. The ap- pearance on the stage of "Essie,' the tattle-tale neighbor girl, as played by Edith Hoop, never fail ed to arouse the amusement and understanding of the audience.
 The entire cast was we'll chosen and the following carried out their parts in an expert manner: Rita O'Leary as Anna" niece to Aunt Abby; Geraldine Rude as Lillian" "Anna's" chum; Bob Scott as Bobby Harrington" "Annas" beau; Fred Waid as Billy Barberton,'' "Lillian's" beau; Norvin Lewis as Horace Harter," Miss Abby's" persistent suitor; Bud Cunningham as "Hor- ace Harkwell,' whose ad in the "Lonely Hearts Column" Miss Abby" answers; and Audrey Dun ham as Mrs. Purviance," who first arouses Miss Abby's" inter- est in men.
 Miss Mildred Scott who direct ed the play is to be particularly commended on her fine supervi- sion.
 Credit is also due to those oth- CTS behind the scenes who made the play possible-Charles Lewis, property manager; Lee Reat, stage manager; and Mary Hood Chapman, uSherette in charge, and her assistants.

Urging the need for early es- tablishment of the Army Air Corps station in Alaska, as au- thorized by the Wilcox Air De- fense Act, Delegate Dimond spoke on the floor of the House when the Army supply bill, carry ing appropriations for the 1888 fiscal year, was under considera- ton April 29th.
 On the following day, April 30, when the bill was read for amend ment, the Delegate offered an amendment to include 2 million dollars for the Alaska air base. However, while the viva voce vote on the amendment showed a substantial House sentiment in favor of the immediate establish ment of the Alaska air defense base despite the fact that it was not supported by the Bureau of the Budget or approved by the Appropriations Committee, after some debate the proposed amend ment was rejected.
