i Veteran Ball
Players to Give
Way to Cubs
NEW YORK. Sept. 5.—New faces
will be seen in many places held
down for many years by recognized
stars in the base ball next season.
Young blood is going into the major
leagues, and there is nothing so true
as the old saying that youth must be
served.
There are a number of brilliant
young ball players sitting on the
benches in big league parks, and a
great many of these, together with
new ones dug up in the bushes,
doubtless will be regulars when the
bell rings for another season to start.
Among the most prominent of the
old heads who seem destined to fall
by the wayside is Larry Lajoie. The
veteran infielder, probably the great
est second baseman who ever lived,
while he has been playing a great
fielding game, and has been hitting
well this year, already has announc
ed his intention of retiring from the
game at the close of the 1916 sea
son.
Sam Crawford, still dangerous as
a batter, is slowing up, and it is
probable he will be put on the skids
by Hugh Jennings. Oscar Stanage
is another of the Tigers who likely
will feel the call of the minors.
Clyde Milan hasn’t been going well
for the Senators, and, while there is
little liklihood that he will get out of
the American league, it is accepted
as fact in the Ban Johnson circuit
that Clyde will experience a change
of scenery.
Rumor has it that Hob Groom ami
Jimmy Austin will be dispensed with
next year by the Browns.
John Collins and Jim Scott are two
veteran members of the White Sox
who have failed to display their for
mer class this year and they may be
dropped. Jack Lapp, former Athlet-1
ic, is staring the minors or retire- j
ment in the face.
Harry Cooper and Duffy Lewis
| have not been doing well, but it is j
unreasonable to suppose these two
players will be dropped by the Red
Sox. However, Larry Gardner, the1
veteran third baseman of the Boston
club, may have some trouble in hold
ing to his job, for in Fred Thomas
the Red Sox are getting an infielder
of considerable class. Forest Cady
already is surplus weight.
Chick Gandil, after a brief season
with the Indians, may be sent to pas
tures new.
The Boston fans are.becoming dis
gusted with the tactics of Johnny
Evers, captain of the Braves, and it
■ is hardly probable the fiery Trojan
will be among those present in the
: Braves' training camp next spring.
1 Also Manager Stallings is more or
less disappointed with the showing of
his outfielders.
The Cub fans and Joe Tinker seem
to have placed the skids under Hein
ie Zimmerman, who, in spite of his
greatness as a ball player, seems
intent on doing mainly as he pleases.
Cactus Cravath probably has play
ed his last season with the Phillies,
for the famous slugger has been un
able to help out much this year with
his fence-busting blows.
John McGraw probably will clean
house wholesale. He is said to be
ready to drop the axe on the necks of
Larry Doyle, Fred Merkle, Honus
Lobert, and one or two others.
Pure Food Exhibit
For Public School
The Crescent Manufacturing com
pany through their representative
“We raise the dough” Gaspard, have
instituted an innovation in the Alaska
schools that is worthy and commend
able. In carrying out their idea of
educating the school children to the
value of pure foods, they are at the
same time doing the community at
large a great service. The question
of “pure foods” has become one of na
tional prominence and the introduc
tion of a course in domestic science in
the schools of the country is meeting
with universal f ivor, nor are the
schools of Anchorage to be slighted in
this respect.
The Crescent people have generous
ly donated the Anchorage public
schools with a fine glass cabinet dis
playing spices, extracts, coffees and
teas in the various processes of ma
turity. In this manner the chil I is
given a practical system of education
; in regard to pure food products and
! a relative knowledge of the good and
the bad.
It further teaches the school child
i the culinary values of different spices
;and extracts in addition to awakening
: a desire to familiarize themselves
with all pure food products, with the
j ultimate result of educating the school
• girl of today into the housewife of
tomorrow.
Henry Williams,
Unknown Youth, Is
Champion Sprinter
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.—Hen
ry Williams, the young athlete of
the Spokane Amateur Athletic club,
! who won the 100 and 200- yard dash
es at the far western championships
| held at San Diego recently, sprang
from obscurity into national promin
i ence, in exactly 31 3-5 seconds. He
ran the two events in respectively 9
4-5 and 21 4-5 seconds, which admits
him into the seiect company of the
fastest track men of the country.
Williams’ achievement is the more
: notable for the reason that he devel
; oped himself into a runner without
any outside aid. He never had the
advantage of high school or college
I athletic coaching. He left school be
fore graduation and did not attend
any university. It was not until two
years ago that he became known lo
cally, when he started running in
some of the smaller meets. He is a
presser by trade and on his own ini
tiative tried running to “see what he
j could do” as he had always been able
! to outdistance the youngsters with
i whom he raced.
the northwesterner is slight lor a
sprinter and of about average height.
Critics declare that his form is per
fect, notwithstanding the fact that
he has had no coaching, being a nat
ural runner. He is a fast starter,
always getting off with the pistol al
though the total of his coaching in
this important essential amounted to
a few pointers given him one day by
a professional while out on the track
practicing.
Eugene Cohn, of the S. A. A. C.,
is given credit as the “discoverer” of
Williams whose form on the track
first attracted his attention. It was
in his effort to beat Williams in the
100-yard dash at San Diego that
Howard Drew, the world’s record
holder, strained himself with the re
sult that he later suffered a stroke
of paralysis which will prevent him
from ever competing again.
ONE OF THE BEST FILMS
AT THE EMPRESS TONIGHT
Tonight brings to the Empress
theatre a Wm. A. Brady screen pro
duction, in which Anchorage photo
play seekers will have an opportuni
ty to see one of the best world film
! offerings ever presented at the Em
press . Its title is, “The Cub,” and
has for its star the captivating com
edienne, Martha Hedman, whose
name is magic on the speaking stage
and who has won additional honors
on the screen. Her fresh, spontan
eous methods give this picture a
‘charm that will create enthusiasm.
I each time she appears.
“The Cub,” interpreted by a stel
j lar cast, including John Hines, a
I “Cub” newspaper reporter present
; many amusing situations and cotn
I plications, but as usual the newspa
per “Cub” reporter manages to es
cape without much difficulty.
The story has to do with a harm
less little pig that started a family
feud in the mountains of Kentucky,
where even today, civilization is con
spicuous by its absence. Go to the
Empress tonight and tomorrow night
for the entire story. It is interesting
from beginning to end. Pathe News,
a feature in itself, will be shown in
connection with “The Cub.”
