NEW YORK, Aug. 2l. — The west
ern brother of the east is rallying tc
the cause, has grabbed sport by thf
hair and Is holding it tight. The west
It appears, is going to save Amerlcar
sports from complete annihilation in
the hurly-burly business of war mak
Ing. St. Louis has come back with
a regular punch and Is going to stage
the A. A. U. games with all the frills
the east usually provides, and Is ad
ding some.
There will be no Army-Navy foot
ball game next fall, for the well known
obvious reason. For different reasons
there will be no Harvnrd-Yale game
and for the same reasons Prlnreton's
colors will not form a background for
a Yale or Harvard score next fall.
Some of the eastern colleges are
making a desultory effort at retaining
sports. Pennsylvania, for Instance
has made a valiant fight against com
pletely wrecking the games. How
ever, the gain will be little. Yale and
Harvard are figuring on giving the
freshman a chance at It.
In the west most of the big col
leges are going right' ufrutt&h with it.
The men who are not drafted will' de
right in there playing football sched
ules.
Elmer Hiller Is showing signs of be
coming a real outfielder for the Yan
kees. Always an excellent fielder, this
youngster has begun to crack the ball.
He has been moving recently at
a rapid rate toward the select places
hold by a few players like Cobb, Spea
ker, Slsler and Mclnnis. Undoubted
ly he would find welcome written on
the Yankees' mat any time he carries
i .300 batting mark around with him.
Those who figured Eddie Plank
through should count the games he
has won and the excellent pitching
performances the veteran has turned
In. Plank, although past 40, Is still
very effective. He is good for a fine
1917 season, and probably 1918.
Counting Plank out is like hanginfe
i time knockout on Hans Wagner.
memory.
Thrice blessed treasure, thou memory,
Herald of past golden hours—
Tho' hope has fled and love is dead.
Bring back the bliss that was ours
Youth, with thy dear fond Illusions,
Tome! Bring they Joys to me,
Bring once again those dream days
Hopeful of joys yet to be!
Would I had lived for eye
In my castle of golden dreams;
Would I had died ’ere 1 learned
Mfo Is not what It seems!
Now since the fast fleeting years
Have proven what life really meane,
I long for my old Illusions,
And the days of my girlhood dreams!
—Annabelle MacConnoll.
During recent heavy rainstorms the
Nenena river changed Its course and
tho high waker carried out several
bridges and forced the engineering
commission to blow up one railroad
bridge to prevent further and more
serious dam ge. The scene of the
disaster was Dost slough, twenty miles
south of Nouana, where the river has
changed Its course and so far has
failed to return to Its old channel.
Jim Theofilos, a Oreek, was recent
ly arrested for assault upon the per
son of Joe Kelly, a business man of
Juneau. The Creek clalmed^h^t the
Irishman owed him some money and
proceeded to knock the "L” out of
Kelly.
The fish receiving plans at Juneau
are short of help, and it is expected
that they will have to call on women
to aid In the work, the number of men
available being Insufficient .to meet
the demands of these companies.
