POLITICAL AXE IS
ABOUT READY
TO*
!• rom whisperings among the Alas
kans in Seattle who ought to know
what they are talking about, a consid
erable shakeup among federal offi
rials will come when terms expire this
year. Those to he reappointed or al
lowed to drop out include the gover
nor, all judges, district attorneys and
marshals, says the Seattlo Times.
It seems to be the general opinion
that Governor J. F. a. strong will be
reappointed. It is said that he is solid
with the Wilson administration.
Also say Alaskans who ought to
know, that Judge Robert W. Jennings
of the lirst judicial division will be re
appointed. He Is said to stand well
with the Alaska party and with the
national party. The same is asserted
in behalf of Judge Fred M. Brown
of the Third division, and Judge (’has
E. Bunnell of the Fourth.
Changes In Nome District.
Outside of these officials, more or
less uncertainty exists. It is said by
some that there will be a wholesale
political house cleaning in the Second
or Nome division. It is charged that
the federal officials there have per
sistently ignored the local Democratic
committee; that a good many Repub
lican holdovers have been kept in of
fice, and that many of the federal of
ficials worked actively for James
Wickersham and against Charles A.
Sulzer, the Democratic candidate.
The marshal's office in the Fourth
division has been more or less of a
political storm center, and it is ex
pected things will be doing in that
section.
W. W. Spence, district attorney of
the Third division, is slated for the
axe, in the opinion of some party
men. His prosecution of the Valdez
Club, the charges that he filled many
offices with relatives, and the allega
tions that he is too friendly to the in
terests of James Wickersham, are
among the causes of his poor stand
ing. Charges have been made already
and filed at Washington, 1). C.
To Weed Out Others.
There are also said to be too many
Wickersham adherents among the
marshal's office in that division, and
some weeding will be done at the
right time it is assured.
Two men in Alaska, who stand out
just now, so far as Democratic pat
ronage is concerned, are Thomas
Donohoe of Valdez, national commit
teeman, and Charles A. Sulzer, candi
date for delegate. Those seeking of
fice are assiduously courting the good
favor of these two men, and their
close friends. Moreover, there has
neen, and is now, a lot of quiet soft
looting from Alaska to Washington,
D. C., in the hopes of working the po
litical combination and landing some
thing. it is Indicated, however, from
Washington, I). (’., sources, that there
will be “nothing doing" unless the in
dorsement of tho Alaska territorial
committeeman is first obtained.
In any event, the game is becoming
intensely interesting, and from all in
dications and signs it will not be long
before something will drop.

BRITISH PRISONERS
ENJOY SWIMMING
(By Associated Press)
DOUGLAS, Isle of Man, Jan. 27. —
There has been sarcastic comment in
the British newspapers about the huge
swimming pool and luxuriously equip
ped gymnasium which the government
provides for its war prisoners at the
Cunningham camp. The pool is about
a hundred feet long and is housed in
an ornate building of gaudy stucco,
and the gymnasium is as large and as
well equipped as that at Yale univer
sity.
Cunningham camp, ^before it was
taken over for prisoners was a sum
mer school and recreation camp for
English school boys. The swimming
iiool and gymnasium were retained,
and have naturally proved popular
j features with the prisoners. With
few exceptions, every man in the
L camp visits the swimming pool at
1 least once a week. The average daily
| attendance at the gymnasium is well

Gossip About Events of National
Importance and the Persons
Who Are In the Head
Liner Classes.
(By Associated Press.)
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 26. — The
rule recently adopted by the Pacific
Coast League that at least four play
ers who have had less than a full sea
son in the majors or Class AA leagues
must be carried by each club in the
circuit, is creating considerable dls
cussion, but it is not expected that
any conclusion will be reached until
the scheme has been tried out for at
least a year.
Cal J. Ewing, former owner of the
San Francisco club, who ih sponsor
of the idea, has figured that by this
means new talent will be encouraged
and developed, thus assuring good
players coming on each year. Under
the circumstances the preliminary
spring training season will offer base
tall enthusiasts a record number of
new faces in the early tryouts.
With a limit of .eighteen players on
each club, the inclusion of four non
veterans means that veteran players
will have to give way to the younger
men. Advocates of the rule claim
that managers Instead of experiment
ing with would-be “comebacks"
among the veterans will have to bend
their energies toward developing the
recruits which they say will put more
speed and enthusiasm into the play.
The football team of the University
of Oregon, which defeated the. Univer
sity of Pennsylvania recently by a
score of 14-0, Is distinctly a product of
Oregon. With one exception, a San
Franciscan, the men who played
against the Quakers attended prepara
tory schools in the Beaver state.
In the estimation of Clarence J.
Griffin, noted California tennis play
er, William Johnston, former national
singles champion, is the greatest ten
nis player America has produced. Grif
fin, together with Johnston, holds the
national doubles championship, and
knows every angle of his famous part
ner's play. Griffin also has played
against practically all the notable
stars of the tennis world.
"Johnston's game is based upon
more sterling principles," says Grif
fin, "than the play of his two princi
pal rivals, McLoughlin and Williams.
He is more consistent. He depends
less upon spectacular features that
are apt to leave a man with the gath
ering years. Johnston should retain
his place among the great players ol
the game for many years, like Darned
did. McDoughlln relies too much up
on mere speed and power, qualities
he Is bound lo lose early. Johnston
Is probably Ihe most perfect tennis
player the world has seen — not even
excluding Anthony Wilding.”
According to Griffin, a player must
show championship possibilities be
fore rounding twenty years of age.
otherwise he never will achieve the
highest pinnacle in the game.
An added interest has been given
to the mid-Paciflc swimming cham
pionships to be held in Honolulu on
February 19, with the entry of Misses
Aileen Allen and Dorothy Burns, of
the Los Angelo Athletic Club. MiRs
Allen is the national diving champion,
while Miss Burns holds tho national
back stroke title, and is the all-round
woman swimming champion of south
ern California. They will sail for
Honolulu on February 7, according to
their present plans.
A1 Leake, the new left handed pitch
er lately of the Richmond club of tDo
Virginia League, procured by Man
ager Walter McCredie of the Port
land club of the Pacific Coast League,
has an impressive record as shown
by the statistics of his performances
with that club last season.
