Enthusiasm
Manifest In
A||Leagues
BY PAT ROBINSON
international News Service
Sports Writer

NEW YORK, April 22.-With a
fair break from the weather man,
and with reasonably close races in
prospect, the current baseball sea-
son seems sure to smash all previ-
Gus attendance records in every
league in the United States.
The opening of the international
League in Jersey City today Will
see the greatest turnout Of fans
in the history of the circuit. Ap-
proximately 10000 will click the
turnstiles of what is undoubtedly
the finest minor league plant in
the country to see the farm hands
of the New York Giants in action.
Big Turnout
This is more than double the
all-time record crowd of 19,304
which saw Jersey City tangle with
Newark in the latteK's park Sep
TENDER 6, 1881. ~
OF course, there are eXtraordi-
nary circumstances adding to the
lure of today's opening. For one
thing, everybody wants to see
Travis Jackson, former captain OF
the Giants, in his new role as
manager.
Then, too, the Jersey City fans
have been starved for league ball
in the years the franchise was
transferred to Albany.
And, last, but by no means least.
must be considered the salesman
ship of Mayor Frank Hague who
handed 500 Of his committeeman
each 10. tickets to sell, gave IL
ward leaders 500 apiece to dis
tribute among storekeepers and
put five tickets in every grog shop
in the city.
Strangely enough, the mayor
didn't have to put on any political
pressure-his henchmen and the
fans begged for more. Hence, the
sure .sell-out.
Considerable Interest
Ford Prick, president Of the Ma
tional League, who keeps a tight
finger on the national baseball
pulse, says that never in history
was such a widespread burning
interest in the game, nor has there
ever been so many uniformed non.
professional teams in action.
Prick attributes this to two
main factors to wit: The increased
prosperity Of the country and the
glamour of new names such as
young Bob Feller of the Indians.
Nobody not in close contact
with the game" says Prick, "can
realize the impetus that young
Teller has given to baseball.
From all over the country come
reports that the youngsters are
all trying to be pitchers instead
Of second Babe RuthS as they
were q few years ago.
"And as long as the game
holds the interest and stirs the
Imagination of the American
boy. baseball has nothing to
worry about"

Alaska's favorable position, a. outlined above, is attracting wide spread interest and is causing citi- zens throughout the States to think in terms of making homes in Alaska and of investing their capital ir mining and other enterprises. This augers well, for it is by the attrac- tion of people and capital that further expansion will come in the development and utilization of Al aska's resources.
 Many Seek Information
 This situation is reflected, also in the increased responsibilities anc activitiee of the Seattle Chambe of Commerce Alaska Committed This group is one of the most active within the Chamber organization and is alert to every opportunity to be Of service to the Territory The number of inquiries which come from all over the United States fol every type of information on Alaska is much larger now than in prev ious years. The requests coming from Alaska for cooperation are more numerous and frequent. The commictee adheres strictly to it's nOlicv Of acting on Alaskan affairs only on direct request of either local Chambers of Commerce or the Territorial Chamber, depending on whether the subject matter is local or Territorial in scope. This pro- cedure means that the committee follows the desires of Alaska peo- pie rather than of attempting to tell Alaska how it's affairs should be and its resources devel- oped Each request for assistance is given prompt earnest consider ation, and in carrying out policies adopted by the committee a sincere effort is made to be of real effect i've service.

forward strides noticeable in var ious sections of the country in the last few months.
 This favorable situation IS direct ly reflected in the record of com merce totaling $115,963, ,586 in 1886, which has been described by many observers as one of Alaska most prosperous years in history. In re- viewing il must be remembered that had it not been for the interruption of maritime transportation because of the waterfront strike an even more impressive record would have been made. With hr shipment of products from Alaska valued at S76- 183, 3,G49, an increase of 43 percent was made over the figure for 1885, a truly remarkable record, indi- eating the expanded activity in many fields of endeaver through out the Territory Merchandise was shipped into Alaska valued at S39, 325 72l, or p percent increase over 1885. T. $ apparent. therefore, that Seattle and other cities in this state enjoyed a larger trade with Alaska.
 Big Salmon Pack
 The fisheries industry led all oth- CTS with the greatest salmon pack in history. and it's total value of products showed an increase of ap- proximately 22,OOo 900 over ihe pre- vious year.
 Expanded mining activity is re- sponsiLle for a figure of $23 ,347 ,000. Reports coming from all sections of the Territory indicate the work ing of additional gold producing properties next year

WELL DESERVED KICK IN THE PANTS

Public ownership advocates and So
cialistically inclined power politicians re-
ceived sound kick in the pants from one
end of the country to the other during re-
cent elections, when numerous proposals
for municipal ownership and operation of
electric utilities went to the vote of the
people. Outstanding defeat was in Ale
ghany County, Pennsylvania, where
scheme to create a special county admin
istration to acquire and operate local
utilities was rejected two to one.
At Reading, Pennsylvania, voters re-

posal that the city bond itself for $4, 1861

OK BLOOD TREATMENT

Amazing results in the treatment of
pneumonia patients with injections of a
new chemical derived from warm OK blood
were reported by DIR. Clyde Brooks of the
medical school of Louisiana State Univer-
sity before the Southern Medical Associa-
TONS recent meeting in New Orleans.
The greatest success of the new treat
ment has been attained in pneumonia in
infants and old people, DR.. Brooks said,
and it has also proved very beneficial in
influenza cases. An interesting compari-
son of results by percentages of deaths
was given, covering methods employed in
series of 800 pneumonia cases.
OF children one year old or less hav-
ing lobar pneumonia So per cent died
under serum or other treatments hereto
fore employed, while only 6 per cent died
when treated with the new chemical,
which is called "deutero-proteose.
Among pneumonia patients over so
years old rs per cent died under usual
treatments, while only Is per cent died
when the new chemical was used.
If subsequent results maintain the
record reported by DR.. Brooks, the new
discovery will mark an epoch in the battle
against one of mankind's most deadly
enemies.

ITALY SEXES A NEWSPAPER

An illustration of the power that the
press of Italy is recently reported from
Rome.
Tt seems that an afternoon newspaper
printed an article from Paris, limiting at
an Italian-French reapproachment and the
possibility of quarrel between Italy and
Germany Immediately, the German En-
bassy protested and the Government of
Italy ordered the seizure of the news
paper.
Just what was accomplished by the
seizure of the paper, we have no way of
knowing. However, the incident serves
to illustrate the attitude of Germany and
Italy toward newspapers.

Before the end Of the regular ses-
sion, southern congressman began
agitating for loans by the Commodity

it was stated shat it is the sense of

Most important of the seven prin-
