YACHTING CLUB
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, May 8. — The
entire membership, including both
officers and members, of the Y’allejo
Y’atching and Rowing Club has en
listed and already has been assigned
to active duty as submersible defense
patrol by the United States navy de
partment. The members enlisted in
a body and have daily instruction
drills and practice harbor cruising.
A large majority are familiar with
every nook and angle of the bay, and
many who are owners of the larger
seagoing yachts are thoroughly post
ed as to navigating conditions along
the const.
James Coffroth, former prize fighter
promoter and now president of the
Tijuana, Mexico, race track, has fol
lowed the example of the authorities
of New York, Louisiana and YViscon
sin by declaring that Les Darcy, the
Australian middleweight boxer, can
never fight there. "1 am against
Darcy for the same reasons that have
barred him from the other states,”
says Coffroth. Darcy was barred
from other states on the ground that
he ought to be fighting in Europe.
The YVarren District Country Club
is making active preperations for the
annual tournament of the Border
States Tennis Association to be held
at Bisbee, Arizona, on the Warren
Club’s courts May 24, 25, 26 and 27. In
the event the entries are large enough
many of the preliminary events will
be run off on the courts of the Doug
las Country Club at Douglas, Arizona.
As far as the first few’ weeks are
concerned, the prospects of war have
not injured the attendance at the
games of the Pacific Coast Baseball
League. The crowds at the opening
day games came full up to expecta
tions, and the gates have maintained
a satisfactory record. President Al
lan T. Baum expects to go through
with his schedule as long as conditions
remain as at present.
The Border States Tennis Associa
tion was formed several years ago,
the initial meet being staged at El
Paso. Since then Douglas, Tucson and
Phoenix have been hosts to the ten
nis players, and the annual tourna
ment has won recognition from the
United States Dawn Tennis Associa
tion as one of the big events of the
western sporting world.
Last year at Tucson J. B. Adam, Jr.,
of Dallas, ex-champion of Texas, won
the singles title, and with Geo. Peck,
also of Dallas, won the doubles. They
will be back this year to defend their
title.
Entry is open to any tennis player
regardless of place of residence.
Organization of the Northwest In
ternational Amateur Hockey Associa
tion is being planned for next win
ter by players in r>ortland, Seattle,
Spokane, Vancouver, B. C., and other
cities in the Pacific Northwest and
Canada. The proposed association
would have charge of the Northwest
ern championship series played each
winter.
Six-man hocked instead of seven
may be played in the league, if it is
formed, according to local players.
Organization of the league will de
pend upon local conditions and inter
national affairs.

In the general scheme of military pre
paredness has been the expressed
opinion of a number of high army offi
cers In the army, including Major Gen
eral Bell, who advised President Ben
jamin Ide Wheeler, of the University
of California, to allow his students to
continue their athletic activities until
such time as they were actually called
out for active service. Colonel U. G.
McAlexander, for a number of years
in charge of the cadets of the Ore
gon Agricultural College, is another
advocate of the continuance of ath
letics, especially among the high
schools, where a large percentage of
the boys are below the age limit. “The
boys need encouragement to keep in
sound physical trim,” adds Colonel
McAlexander.

A Montenegrin recently killed a
valuable silver gray fox near White

for sale it was claimed by John Jacob

which had escaped a few days before
The matter was taken into the courts
and the Montenegrin got an award oi

'
Patriotism is not confined to the
eastern states nor yet to the coast
towns, but the call to arms is heard
in the interior towns and even to the
remote mining districts of Alaska. A
splendid example of patriotism Is ex
emplified in the stalwart person of A.
A. Willis, who mushed over the long
trail from Iditarod and reached An
chorage late yesterday afternoon. As
soon as the declaration of war reach
ed Iditarod and the president's plea
went out for fighting men Mr. Willis
left his lucrative placer claims, heed
ed the call and figuratively shouldered
his musket and set out for the near
est recruiting station to offer his ser
vices to his country. It is no mean
thing to make this trip at this time
of the year, when the head waters of
the innumerable creeks and rivers are
breaking up; when the snow has melt
ed, making dog teams impracticable,
and the journey has to be made on
foot, encountering many perils and
hardships and experiencing the dis
agreeable elements. There must have
been some rare incentive for a young
man to start out alone on a trip of
this nature. It is good to know' that
this Incentive was actuated from love
of country — his country. It is glori
ous to know that this Alaska is full
of just such men who are willing to
sacrifice their life's blood for their
country's flag and in support of the
government. Anchorage is proud in
having entertained Mr. Willis, who
immediately, upon arrival reported to
Lieutenant C. A. Ross for duty. His
disappointment was keen when he
learned that he would have to con
tinue his journey to Seattle in order
to enlist for active service.
Mr. Willis left Anchorage on the Ad
miral Evans for Seattle: disappointed
but not discouraged; still imbued with
the hereditary feeling of patriotism
and more than ever determined to of
fer his services to his country.
It is such sterling young men as
Mr. Willis who have made the United
States a power to be reckoned with;
a country peopled by a loyal citizen
ship, ever ready to respond to the
nation’s appeal; who love and respecl
their country's flag and consider it
sacred; who will keep that starred
and striped object, the glorious and
beloved emblem of a united people for
ever and for all time unstained and
undefeated.—Anchorage Times.

LARGE SCOW CONSTRUCTED
FOR CLARK & GRAHAM
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Clark, who have
been guests at the Stedman Hotel for
the past week, are to leave on the
steamer Alaska this evening for Cor
dova, where Mr. Clark is interested
in a large cannery concern.
Mr. and Mrs. Clark are well known
pioneers of the early Dawson rush and
also of Fairbanks, where they spent
sixteen years or more, having left
the latter place five years ago to es
tablish their home at Tacoma.
Two years ago Mr. Clark became in
terested in the fish business and built
a big cannery on the Eyak river on
the Copper river flats eight miles
from Cordova. This concern is one
of the big enterprises of the north and
now has a capacity of a thousand cases
per day, and is known as the Clark
& Graham Company, of Cordova.
Some time ago Mr. Itadenbaugh got
a contract to build a large pot scow
for the above mentioned company,
hence Mr. Clark's visit to Ketchikan.
The boat has just been completed and
will leave tomorrow morning under
its own steam for Cordova with Cap
tain Sunenson in command.
Several of these cannery tenders are
