 Are Introduced

 Members of the Alaska Game Commission introduced by Frank Dufresne, Executive Officer of the Commission were: Frank B. Will Hams, Earl N. Dinner, Irving Mex Reed, and Andrew Simons w. E. Crouch, Biological survey official from Washington, D. O., attending the meetings of the Commission here, was also introduced.
 Old Tonnage Tax
 President Folta briefly explained that telegram received in Juneau from Foster L. McGovern, manager of the Alaska Department of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce ad- vocated the Chamber telegraphing the approval of the pending bill, repeating the old law and provid- ing for taxation by the Territorial Legislature, had been presented to the Executive Board, Tuesday and because of lack of time to bring it before the Chamber as a whole the Board had voted to send messages to Delegate Anthony J. Dimond and Senator Willard E. Tydings. stating that the Executive Board approved the bill. f4ls0
 Opposition to Tax
 In discussing the matter previous to vote of the Chamber approv- ing the Boards action, R. E. Ro- bertson explained that the present taxation bill was originally passed in 1899, and collection of the tax was not made until the recent suit. MT Robertson pointed out that the tax of $100 ton was excessive and would not only lead to increased freight and passenger rates but would tend to stop port to port ship ping in Alaska, as it is this phase that the tax is predicated on. H. L. Faulkner pointed out that taxes as much as $2,000 were collected on freight that brought but fraction of the tax in revenue, on intra AL aska port shipping.
 Both speakers pointed out that they believed the tax was designed for local Alaska boats only, and that because the tax had not been

Yankee Trainer Reveals
Wrist Injury of Bill Dickey
Broken riSt
Trailed Vet
In Series
TAPE HELPS
BY MAX KASE

international News Service Sports Writer
NEW YORK, Oct. IA G.N.S0.
After being kept secret for a year
and with the World Series now
history, this "now.it-can-be-told"
story Of how Bill Dickey played in
the 1885 championship games with
a broken wrist is revealed.
DOC" Painter, the Yankee
trainer, is authority for the infor-
nation.
Ten days before the 1885 sea-
son ended Bill Dickey was hit on
the left wrist by a pitched ball in
game against the Red SoX.
X-rays revealed two broken bones,
and for a time it was feared that
he would not be able to play in
the series against the Giants.
He was one of the big guns in
the Yankee arsenal, and he re-
fused to consider any suggestion
that he remain out of the lineup.
So doc" taped up the wrist the
best he could to permit of flexibil-
ity and minimize the pain.
Dickey was the prize flop Of the
1885 games. He made only three
hits in the six battles with the
Giants and came out of the series
with an average of 100. His col
lapse at the plate was inexplicable
at the time. The Giants claimed
the Arkansas Alp" was just a
guess" hitter and that Hubbell,
Fltzsimmons and Schumacher had
outsmarted him.
"He had no strength or power
in his wrists" Painter said.
Every time the ball landed IN
his mitt, the jar would give him
tremendous pain and shock.
When he went to hit, every time
he swung the bat he would be
in agony"
The fracture mended in the off
season. But the pain held over
even to this spring, according to
Painter, and Dickey received dia-
thermy treatments the first six
weeks of the season before the
last traces Of the injury disap-
peared.
The tall catcher had consist
emily refused to permit the de-
tails of his injury to become
known. He feared it might be
misconstrued as an alibi.
"Oh, just forget it," he would
counter. "Those Giant pitch.
ers were too good for me, they
just overpowered me, so let it
go at that"
This morning, still feeling the
effects Of the series triumph cele.
! bration, he said:
"I didn't do so much better in
these games, even with my wrist
! good. So it didn't make so much
of a difference"
Dickey batted .210 in the five
game victory over the Giants.
