 Whether the pulp and paper companies will be scared out of buying the timber remains to be seen While not legal authorities, fail to see how Curry take any action against the timber buyers If he really intends to carry his campaign into the courts it to Us he would have to sue the government branch of the government.
 If Curry is so certain that HJR. 205 doesn't give the Department of Agriculture the power to sell the timber why did he put up such fight to have this legislation defeated few months ago?
 Meanwhile, there is question but what Curry's attack is making things difficult We have been trying for years the pulp and paper industry and it would be a sad situation if this man should suc- ceed in heading off again. It is deporable that group of citizens is responsible especially a group which over the years has received much from their fellow citizens through the government, and contributed so little.
 Whatever property the Indians may have been deprived of the years has been returned to them manyfod the millions spent for their free educa- tion health and medical care relief and welfare.

THE CURRY LETTER

bold attempt to discourage large pulp ana paper companies known to be interested in estab- lishment of pulp mills in Alaska from bidding on timber lots put up for sale under act of Congress by the Forest Service is in the letter from Indian attorney James E. Curry to company, revealed on the front page of today's Empire.
 And it may well be that he will succeed in his attempt and knock Alaska out of another chance to secure beginning of a industry.
 The Forest Service is offering the timber for sale under terms of HJR POS of the last session of the Congress This measure recognizing that Alaskan Indians may have some basis for their aboriginal claims safeguarded these theoretical rights by pro- vidng that the money which the government secures from timber sales from the Tongass National Forest is to be placed in a special fund where it will remain until the aboriginal rights proved or disproved
 To date no courts have upheld the claims of the Alaskan Indians to the lands they contend is theirs because their ancestors hunted roamed the forests or fshed the streams. The latest Circuit Court of Appeals decision in fact says the Indians have no aboriginal claims but do have the rights to property which they held when the Act of 1868 passed But the court also said that this law also protected the property rights of whites then in Alaska In other words the did not recognize that the Indians had any special property rights aboriginal rights Indians

Yawkey And Musial Named
Top Big League Men In AS

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Thomas Yaw-
key, president of the Boston Red
Sox; Eddie Dyer, manager of the
Cardinals, and First Baseman
Stanley Musial, also of the Car
dinals, were named the outstand-
| ing men of the major leagues in
their field for 1916 by 1.-THE
Sporting News" in the baseball
tweekly's annual citations of the
No. men of the year.
In the minors, similarly honor
ed, were Earl Mann, president of
the Atlanta Southern Association
Crackers; Clay Hopper, manager
of the Montreal International
League Royals, and Sebastian
Sisti, shortstop of the Indianapo-
| lis American Association Indians,
who is returning to the Boston
Braves after leading the league
with batting average of .343.
Yawkey's untiring efforts and
lavish investments in players and
farms to give Boston pennant
winner, which ambition was real
lied with the Red Sox the past
season, earned him the title of No.
l. executive of the year. The
Sporting News also points out
that he has built up an organi-
cation that promises to be fac
tor in pennant races for many
years to come.
The accolade of No l manager
of the year was bestowed on Dy-
er for his handling of the Car
dfnals in the strenuous closing
days of the season, through the
playoff for the National League
pennant with the Dodgers and in
the Worlds Series triumph over
the highly-favored Red Sox.
Test Came Early
The Sporting News points out
that his test as a freshman pilot
came early, when, stepping into
the shoes of Billy Southworth, he
found himself faced with finding
requirements for players traded
during the winter and lost
through raids by the Mexican
League.
His daring decision to move
Stan Musial from the outfield to
first base and his success in al
ternating three light-hitting out
fielders, making Murry Dickson
a winning starting pitcher, CON-
verting Red Schoendienst into a
second baseman and in juggling
his lineup and mound staff are
cited as examples of his mana
gerial genius.
Credit for the spirit, courage
and teamwork of the Redbirds
that overcame many obstacles al
so is given Dyer. The Redbird
manager won the 1912 award for
the minors, when he plotted CO.
lumbus to an American Assoeia-
ton pennant.
Musial was hailed as the out

mo representative of the Sars-
field appeared to explain the
teams absence but it was learned
this morning that the destroyer
was suddenly sent out on a short
cruise without affording sufficient
time for notifying Recreation Di-
rector Dwight Hunter
The good-sized crowd saw three
fast games, however, including a
keenly fought contest between
the High School Varsity Girls and
Catholic Youth Council, which
ended in a 1922 tie. BY mutual
agreement it was decided not to
play it off. The teams meet Fri
day night in the preliminary of
the Key West High-South Brow
ard High game.
,C.Y.C. had a 20-17 lead going
into the last quarter but baskets
by Mica Smith and Rose Kerr and
free throw by Nancy Lane put
the High School ahead, only to
have Miss Haskins of C.Y.C. tie it
up again just before the final
whistle.
Despite IA points by Fisher of
the Marines, the Leathernecks
were never in the running against
the Wilkie five, led by Schmitz,
who scored dozen points. The
destroyer team gave the Raiders
a close tusSfe, the first half end

two-game burden began to tell in
the last half, however, and the
Raiders won going away, Gene
