Giants Break
World’s Record
By taking a double-header from St.
Louis Monday the New York Giants
broke the world’s record for consecu
tive victories. It was due to the great
pitching of Sallee and Tesreau that
the McGrawites were able to win the
21st game and break the record. This
still leaves the Giants in fourth place,
as Boston also won a double-header
from Pittsburg. Unlike the touted
Connie Mack, McGraw has been con
tinually building up his team instead
of selling and trading off his stars
and drawing cards. In letting the
great Matty go to Cincinnati, as man
ager, it was purely from an unselfish
motive as Mathewson could better
himself by this move and at the same
time strengthen the Cincinnati team
as manager.
Robertson has materially aided the
Giants as captain and is batting
among the leaders. McGraw made a
great move in getting hold of the
scrappy Zimmerman from Chicago,
who has ben playing a wonderful
game for New York and is still bat
ting in the runs and playing a won
derful game at third. McCarty do
ing the bulk of the catching for the
Giants has ably filled the place of
Meyers and hitting consistently. New
York may pass Boston and end the
season in third place and this is real
ly the only race left in the National
league as Brooklyn and Philadelphia
are secure in first and second place
and Cincinnati is conceded the cellar
position.
There is no change in the American
league, Boston and Chicago won while
Detroit lost. Post-season series will
be played between the two New York
teams with the Giants the slight fav
orites. Pittsburg and Cleveland will
also play a post-season series, as will
the two Chicago clubs.
The betting is strong in the east on
the championship series, and while
the Red Sox are a slight favorite
there is plenty of Brooklyn money in
sight. Several of the more ardent
Anchorage fans are pulling strong
for the Brooklyn team and believe
that Dell will give a good account of
himsejl’ if he «ets a chance in the
championship series. Dell is really
the next best bet after Marquard and
Cheney who are both older in years
and experience. •

Alaska Game
Is Taken by
Photographer
(Juneau Dispatch)
Al. Smith and wife recently passed
through Juneau on their way to the
outside. Mr. Smith has been busy
with the camera hunting Alaska wild
?ame.
Smith, who first tried to get brown
bear pictures at Kodiak, says he suc
ceeded beyond all expectations,, on a
20-day trip up Polly creek on the west
side of Cook inlet.
“We were told about this spot by
Andrew Berg, of Kenai, who said
there were more bear fishing along
that creek than any place he had seen
in Alaska. We built a raft and poled
up the creek and I want to say that
he was right. We saw 15 bears dur
ing a 20-day stay and secured pictures
at close range of a brown bear with
cubs, and one of those ‘broncho’ bears
—a long-legged brown fellow with a
hump on his nose, making a regular
Roman effect and giving him more
the appearance of a broncho than a
bear.
“Leaving Seward we went out over
the line and took pictures all . the
way to Anchorage, including the Turn
again Arm bore and out to the coal
fields. Then we came back to Kenai,
secured some sheep pictures on the
mountains and then went to Ivatche
mak bay where the moose were thick
and tame, after which we crossed the
inlet for bear. At a j-iver near Polly
creek we took pictures of the famous
beluga whales chasing salmon in shal
low water, which ought to make a
show all by themselves.
“We had only one real adventure,”
concluded Smith, “and that was when
I tried to pick a brown bear cub out
of the water and fell in. The mother
an old broad-headed brute, was feed
ing on the bank with her two cubs
when one of the youngsters knocked
the other into the stream. It drifted
down by the raft from which I was
takiftg pictures and I reached out to
get it, but the raft tipped and into
the water I went, camera and all. The
old girl stood up on her hind legs and
woofed, but made no effort to enter
the stream, although it was only five
feet deep. On a bar below the cub
crawled out. The old lady cuffed it
and they hiked for the brush.”
Smith took 10,000 feet of film and
expects to be able to show something
unique in animal pictures.
Ralph Sherman, the four-year-old
son of Ben Sherman, of Fairbanks,
was shot recently in the right temple
by a young playmate. The weapon
used was a .44 calibre rifle, which the
lads found in a deserted cabin, and
which they believed to be unloaded.
The boy will recover.
At the new wireless station being
constructed at Juneau a change of
plans provides for the erection of but
one aerial tower, the other end of the
aerial being fastened to eye-bolts set
in the mountainside. *
