TERRIBLE CONDITIONS
EXIST IN NORTH SERBIA
BELGRADE, Serbia.—In North
ern Serbia many families, wealthy
before the war, have been found
by officers of the American Relief
Administration and the American
Red Cross living in stables and
chicken coops. Their homes had
been destroyed by the advancing or
retreating armies. Their beds were
heaps of straw covered with burlap.
It was all that remained as furni
ture in their once pretentious es
tates. They were penniless and had
no clothing except what they wore.
"The condition of the Serbian
peasants is beyond description. A
large proportion are homeless. Most
families have been deprived of their
wage-earners by death. The mother
is now obliged to support herself
and children on what she can pro
duce on a farm stripped of its
machinery and tools. Most of the
small stores of seed for next
spring's sowing were removed by
the enemy.
The Red Cross hospitals are
crowded with mothers carrying ema
ciated children, old men with the
infirmities of their years, old women
bent and misshapen, and young men
broken by war. The soup kitchens
tell the same story.

“No, my darling, I don't think

NENANA TEAM WINS
1919 CHAMPIONSHIP
'
I The Interior Alaska baseball cham
i
pionship was won yesterday by Xe
nana’s crack ball team, when the
final games of the third series of
the season were won by substantial |
scores from the visiting team from
, Fairbanks. The opening game of j
| the series, played on Saturday, was
I also won by the local aggregation, j
■ making three straight for the meet-;
ling.
i
j The first series, played in Xenana
during the latter part of July, was 1
taken by Xenana, the locals having
| won two of the three games. The
second series, plaved at Fairbanks*
i
early this month, was won by Fair- (
banks, the Xenana boys capturing
'only the first game.
The final series, to decide the
championship, and for a purse of
$500 put up by Xenana baseball
fans, was the easiest won of the
three, the visitors offering only weak
opposition to Xenana’s hard hitters,
except in the Saturday game. The
jscores were: Saturday, Xenana 8,
1 Fairbanks 7; Sunday, first game,
Xenana 16, Fairbanks 4; second]
game, Xenana 11, Fairbanks 5.
The team work and batting of
the Xenana boys was the best seen
'during the season, while that of,
the visiting players was much below
the pace set in the opening series. !
The Fairbanks team was consider-!
ably weakened by the failure of *
two of their players to come to i
Xenana, Catcher McLaughlin being ’
one of them, and Eddie Stroecker.
Fairbanks’ star coach and heavy >
hitter, the other. Xenana used
three pitchers during the last series ■
—Hanson, Fuelling, and Taylor— j
and each won his game, ably sup
ported by fast infield and outfield
work and by heavy slugging when
the team was at bat. Blakey and !
Hanson shared the honors behind ^
the bat for the home team, and
each, as usual, gave a good account
of himself. Yesterday afternoon i
■was Hanson’s first appearance be
hind the bat for the season.
The X'enana boys are credited
■with much good, all-around playing,;
steady team work and clever indi- j
vidual plays. All of them made ■
good, played clean ball and gave
their backers a fast, honest run j
for their money from the time the
first ball was pitched until the last
man was out in the final game.
Rosburg’s consistent work on the
first bag and his steady batting
were features of the season, and
to him also belongs the distinction
of having made the only home run.
Captain Walter Blakey is another
member of the team who contrib
uted a great deal to the splendid
showing made. He can’t be beat
behind the bat or with the stick.
Tom Mathew's, genial operator in
charge of the local signal corps sta
tion, is another oldtime player who
made good during the three meet
ings, and to him belongs much of
the credit for getting the team in
shape and holding it together. And
it might be said of Frank Doner,
that he started the ball rolling, and
then helped roll it to final victory.
It was under Frank’s direction that
the first series was arranged, and
both he and Ike Taylor helped to
arouse local interest in baseball.
But the “coming back” of old “Sure
Shot” George Kennedy, the star out
fielder of Dawson’s early days, was)
probably the biggest surprise of the
season. He has played better ball
this season than he ever did, and
has shown himself to be capable
of holding down almost any posi
tion. They used to say of him in :
Dawson that he was as good as
three fielders, and he has come back
strong, notwithstanding the fact:
that he has been out of the game •
for many years. George Hupprich j
is another member of Xenana’s
team who played good ball through
out the season, and his phenomenal
throw from the outftdd yesterday
was worth the price of admission.
In fact, all of Nenana’s players
made good, and the team, as it
stands today, is a credit to the
town. The boys have played like
big leaguers, and the gentlemanly
manner in which they have con
ducted themselves on the diamond
throughout the series has done
much to bring Nenana and Fair
banks close together.
Dooley Gets Watch.
Corporal (Dooley) Galvin. Ne
nana's star umpire, whose fairness
in making decision has endeared
him to the fans and players of both
Nenana and Fairbanks, was present
ed with a gold watch and fob just
before the game started yesterday
afternoon, the gift being in the
nature of a token of appreciation,
presented by the baseball boys and
fans. The presentation was made
by Dr. Malcolm E. Smith and ac
cepted by “Dooley” with one of his
original and clever little speeches.
“Dooley” knows the game like
a big leaguer and his decisions
i throughout the series have been
Iboth fair and founded on a thor
ough knowledge of the rules. He
; plays the game for all there is in
him and he is one umpire who has
‘survived a season without making
ian enemy or causing any bad feel
| ing among the players.
Organized Rooting.
N'enana’s rooting- showed marked
improvement during the last series.
A number of eatehv cries were
.sprung during the games, the root
ers being led by Dot Browne. It
was a sort of mass attack that took
I
the visitors completely by surprise.
Another Game Wanted.
Manager Joe Fischer, to whom :s
due much credit for the successful
manner in which the series were
^conducted, has been approached by
Manager Beam with a proposition
for another series at Fairbanks on
Labor Day, but it is not yet known
what the outcome of the negotia
: tions will be.

MEXICAN OPAL MINING
SHOWS RENEWED ACTIVITY
QUERETARO, Mexico. — Opai
mining in this district, an industry
as yet untouched by foreign cap
ital, has shown renewed activity
with the close of the war, and a
normal number of men will soon be
at work. The Queretaro district for
more than sixty years has furnished
virtually all of the opals sold in the
republic, most of the valuable gems
going to dealers in Mexico City,
who in turn ship them to the United
States. Primitive methods are still
used to secure the gems. Dynamite
is used to blast the gems from the
ground. After the rock is broken
linto sizable pieces it is taken to
the shops for the grinding and pol
ishing processes. Modern methods
are not used, the rough stones mere
ly being placed on spindles and ap
