tN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23. — The
d taken by the United States Golf
iciation that a player forfeits his
teur standing when he commer
zes his ability in the sport, has
ted considerable discussion in Pa
i coast golfing circles as to the
lable outcome in the case of Chas.
Ick” Evans, holder of both the
on open and amateur champion
vans has been engaged by the Chl
i baseball club to impart his know
e of the swing used by golf play
as it may be applied for the im
minent of batting. President
Bghman, of the Chicago team, ts
he opinion that his men can be
Bfitted by a course of instruction
er Evans.
is assumed that Evans is being
1 for this work, and in this event,
claim is made that he is directly
ating both the letter and spirit
the association's ruling. In the
nt that he is receiving no salary,
i pointed out that his status as an
iteur still will bo affected for the
ion that having his expenses paid
lunts to the same thing as receiv
remuneration.
I support of this, it is recalled that
in it was decided to hold the west
golf championships recently in
Ifornia the eastern players were
hibited from making use of a spe
train offered by the coast golf
cials for the free transportation
the contestants.
he University of Denver’s outlook
a baseball team -of championship
ss depends, according to athletic
horities at the school, a great deal
in whether Peck, who broke hie
i in the last football season, will
able to pitch. According to re
ts he is rounding into sha^e and
lects to be on the mound in the
ning game of the season.
'hese players from last year have
urned: Mahoney, catcher; Queary
it base; Barrett, second base;
rk, third base; Jones, center field
Ilulfrig, right field; Mclxmgfilin, lef'
field. Htiffln, who caught for the Uni
verslty of Colorado, is in the law
school of the university of Denver
and Is eligible for the local club. Ht
expects to be out in a uniform witt
the first days of baseball weather.
Colorado College students expect
one of the strongest baseball teamt
in the Rocky Mountain Conferenct
this year. Eight letter men from Iasi
year's nine are back In school and in
door practice already has begun
Those who are back are: Schweiger
Oarside, Burlingame, Peterson, Hoi
man, Mimmick, Davis and Verner.
According to Russell Smith, Pacific
northwest amateur golf champion, only
two courses in California are of cham
pionship calibre or compare with the
courses in Oregon, Washington and
British Columbia. These are the links
at Monterey and the Ingleslde course
of San Francisco. He makes the fol
lowing criticism of California golf
and golfers:
"I don't understand why they do
not have the grass greens in southern
California. I_.s Angeles has as fine
lawns in the residence section as any
city in the country, and yet the so
called "greens" at the golf courses
are not green at all. They are merely
circles of sand, as hard almost as
asphalt pavement.
"It is impossible to pitch a shot
to the green and stick. If you pitcl^
and happen to strike on the green the
ball bounds 20 feet into the air and
far beyond the green. Players in
Los Angeles and environs use the
run-up shot exclusively. I understand
they are experimenting to some ex
tent now with greens, but none of
them are being used, so far as I can
ascertain.”
The state board of education of Mis
soula, Montana, has accepted the gift
of Colonel A. A. White, of St. Paul,
of two islands in Flathead lake, to
be set apart for all time as a haven
for wild birds. The donation was made
to the State University of Montana.
The islands will be under the juris
diction of the biological station oper
ated by the biology department. Col.
White purchased the islands in 1915,
when the government sold the land
known as the Flathead villa sites.

WHAT WASHINGTON HERALD
SAYS OF OUR DRY LAW.
When the house of representatives
last week voted Alaska into the dry
column by a majority that left no
doubt as to the sentiment of the con
gress on this question, was influenced
largely by the remarks of James Wick
ersham, of Fairbanks, Alaska. Dele
gate Wickersham told congress that
Alaska had voted overwhelmingly in
favor of the banishment of all intoxi
caAts from the territory. His speech
furnished the strongest argument in
favor of prohibition for Alaska, and
there was no strong counter argu
ment. Mr. Wickersham has no vote
in congress. He has, however, a voice,
and that voice has been used vigor
ously and with marked ability in ex
pressing the wishes of the constitu
ency he represents. — Washington

NEW REPORT ON GAME
ISSUED BY GOVERNOR.
The report of the governor on the
administration of the Alaska game
laws for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1918, was received in the last
mail, containing statistics of the game
sent out and the number of licenses
issued, the figures being about the
same as they were last year. Accord
ing to the report there is still no way
for accounting for the disappearance
of the ptarmigan and grouse from the
greater part of Alaska and it is Btated
in this connection that the climatic
conditions were favorable to increase
of the birds. The governor states that
he has made recommendations so of
ten about required changes in the
game laws that to make them again
would be an act of supererogation.
Brown bears, the report says, killed
three white men during the year and
a number of Indians, and surprise is
again expressed that such animals are
protected. The. law prohibiting the
sale of moose meat and mountain
sheep on Kenal peninsula, according
to Chleg Warden Baughman, has
saved 2B moose and a number of the
sheep.

ALASKA’S PURCHASE FESTIVAL
TO BE NORTHWEST CARNIVAL.
A recent dispatch says: Marine
Carnival and Alaska cruise was the
official title decided upon by those in
charge of the celebration of the pur
chase of Alaska. The selection and
choosing of the work marked the first
decisive step towards the festival,
which bids fair to eclipse all past car
nivals in the northwest. The leading
officials and members of the Seattle
Yacht Club, with associates from
bankers and others prominent In busi
ness life, will have charge of the fes
tival.
