KUSKOKWIM IS FACING
FAMINE THIS WINTER
Captain McAlpin of the schooner
Ruby reports that a great famine is
in prospect for the Kuskokwim dis
trict for the coming winter, and he
fears that the inhabitants will be face
to face with starvation even before the
winter sets in.
The Ruby was unable to deliver
the supplies which it had for the dis
trict because of being damaged in a
great storm off the coast of Kodial
Island during the last of September
The schooner was forced to put it
at Seward. No other vessel can maki
the trip before the freeze-up.
It is estimated that there are abou
five thousand whites in the dlstrtc
and early reports show that the mer
chants are about sold out. The onl;
way by which food can be sent ti
the people Is over the snow and met
who have a knowledge of the condl
tions there urge that early provision;
be made for the shipping, of food ove
the Ice.
BIG MEET OF
ATHLETES BE
HELD NOV. 18
NEW YORK, Oct. 21. The proposal
advanced by the Pacific Coast associa
tion of the Amateur Athletic union to
t bar all foreign athletes from future
competition in national championship
meets, finds little favor among the
eastern athletic authorities and fol
lowers of track and field sports. The
concensus of opinion Indicates that
it would be a most peculiar action
for the American athletic organiza
tion to take, as athletes from the
States have for years been the most
consistent traveling competitors and
prize winners.
A. A. U. authority that there might
be some reason for such a proposal
on the part of the Canadian union, in
view of the fact that in past years
strong teams from the New York A.
and tile Irish American A. (... have
journeyed to Canada and swept away
every first prize and title at the an
nual Dominion championships. Amer
ican athletes also have been promin
ent winners of titular track and field
honors in similar meets in England,
Scandinavia, and the other European j
countries. In every case our athletes
I have been welcomed and where they
I were good enough to defeat the best
j of the home entrants there was noth
s ing hut praise for their performances,
j The menace of the foreign athletic
invader is, furthermore, of little dan
ger. Very few have been able in the
j past to show their heels to the best
_! of the American stars, as the records'
of both home championships and Olym
1 I pie games clearly demnti -tnit' It
[ wouid undoubtedly lie all impetus to
greater a fid better effort if a few in
i'vading performers could lie found to
show tile way to our stars, it is the
generally express. I opinion tii.it alter
peace reigns again throughout tile
world there will lie a great revival ot
ini• rn ition.il siiert competition. With
tin- thought uppermost in tile minds
of the delegate- who gather for tin
animal meeting of the A. A. C.. at
i'hi.adclphia on November Is. then

The e1:i et of tli ■ , r :r ■ :i \meri

2 j clearly shown at this meeting for
then- ..ill not lie a single application. |
;i as far as is known by A A. I author
i| ities, for recognition of a new world's j
i j record in truck or field. During the

■: | conditions which would appear to wrr

:• lu swimming circles, however, quite
•i the reverse is true and there will be
jj a long list of claims submitted, the
majority of which are likely to he
‘ given official sanction. They include
new records for both short and long
distance competitions and the names
of several prominent women swimmers
j will figure in the list.
Those records which are accepted,
i will he tabulated as new American
j figures with an annotation to the effect

j records. They cannot, however, be
j officially accepted, us such until passed

! Atheltic federation, which has not
J held a meeting since the beginning .
! of the European war. After tne cos
I nation of hostilities the I A. A. E. will
_ i convene again and at that session will

to consider and pass judgment upon,
i It is interesting to note that at the

\ the Scandinavian countries lead m the
j number of claims to be submitted.
