 Members of Santa's party, who were selected to aid him in spread ing good cheer along the Alaskan Coast, were K. D. Mckenzie, K. A. Cross, Mrs. Ida Dillon, chief mu- sician; Miss Bee Nelson. contralto, and Johnny Walker, baritone.

In previous years he has headed for the north wear ing a trimmed parka, snowy whiskers and hip hoots, ready for his role as jolly old Kris Kringle. This Christmas he is strike-bound and the little folks up north will have to wait until another year rolls around before they are ale to welcome him.

NO ALASKA COAL IS
 ABOARD GEN. GORCAS

Contrary to previous reports, the steamer Gen. w. c. Gorgas did not lead any Alaskan coal for Juneau lat Seward, and arrived here this afternoon with only 75 tons aboard.
 This is the remainder of the coal cargo she brought from Seattle. When in port here northbound, the Gorgas unloaded half of her coal cargo, but was unable to dispatch the other 75 tons which is to be un- loaded at the City Dock on her pres ent call.
 Manager G. H. Walmsley, of the Pacific Coast Coal Company at Ju- neau, said this afternoon that he believed the small lot Of coal aboard the Gorgas, together with that re- maining from the Arctic cargo, will be sufficient to tide the town over until the next voyage of the ves- sel

Depend Lot on Mancuso.

THE Giants depend almost entirely
upon Gus Mancuso, and Bill
Terrys pennant chances would take
a quick drop should the durable Au-
gustus be out of the game for any
length of time. The Bees only out
standing backstop is Al Lopez and
the Dodgers have nothing of impor-
tance after "Blimp" Phelps. Cincin-
natl has two tried veterans in Virgil
Davis and Ernie lombard. Neither
is brilliant, but better than found on
several other clubs. AL Todd Of the
Pirates is not real old-timer, but
has been around long enough to be
considered a veteran.
On the American League side the
story is much the same. Luke Sewell
has been catching in the big time
since 1922, and Bill Dickey of New
York, Rollie Hemsley of the Browns
and Rick Ferrell of Boston have been
around long enough to be considered
old hands and still are tops in their
chosen line Of work.
The shortage of catchers again is
proved by the fact that "Shanty"
Hogan, the human Zepp. is Washing
tons frst-string receiver and that
Connie Mack is placing lot Of de-
pendence on Earl Brucker, who is
visiting the big leagues for the first
time at the age of 80.
Catchers are durable folks and it's a
good thing for base ball they are of
that mold, there are so few of them.

Maryland track up to now has failed
to give the outside horse the edge, to
the best Of our recollection.
In stake at Laurel last Autumn
in which the judges gave an outside

seemed to have easily earned the place
award. The numbers for the first and
second horses were posted and the
sign, Camera finish" vas flashed for
the show horse. The picture was TAXED
down from the roof in due time, in
spected, and another print ordered.
The judges then decided the second
horse" ran third and the horse far
thest outside finished second.
At Tropical Park last week a cam
era finish was given to the outside
horse, which happened to be the odds
on favorite in the race.
To the majority Of the crowd, in
cluding many OF the hackers Of the
favorite, 1t seemed that the horse
which finished next to the rail had
won. The booing was loud and long.

HeIf Packs Heft.

A MOTHER young catcher who pos
sibly may see much service is
Henry Helf, brought up from New
Orleans by the Cleveland Indians.
Helf may be of value to the Tribe
by reason Of his weight The Texan
is 200-pounder, and such tonnage
will be handy in catching the fire ball
thrown by Bob Feller frankie Pytlak

Cleveland's first catchers, but neither

as Jimmy Wilson of the Phillies. The
