MEETING FOR BASKETBALL
ENTHUSIASTS TONIGHT
There is a movement on foot to or
ganize basketball teams in Sew aid
for the coming season and a meeting
is called for tonight at 6:30 at the
Liberty theatre for the purpose of or
ganizing teams and for making plans
and getting the necessary parapher
nalia. All those who wish to play
basketball are requested to be present.
In 1921 basketball teams were or
ganized and met with moderate suc
cess. The high school team having
gone to Anchorage and played the
high school team of that city in a ser
ies of games. The town showed a
great interest in the sport and it gave
good financial support. But lack of
material forced the teams to disband
after three months. There appears
to be sufficient material in town now
for three good teams.
Mr. Joe Burns, manager of the Lib
erty Theatre, has already consented to
give the use of the A. B. Hall for the
games.
Everyone interested in the sport is
reminded to be present tonight at six
thirty at the Liberty Theatre.

FRANK A. BOYLE
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR DELEGATE TO
CONGRESS
Mr. Boyle stands for full territorial form of government,
a Literacy Test for Voters, and the use of funds accruing from
Pribilof Island fur seals for Territorial School and Pensions
for aged Pioneers.
Democratic Candidate for
Congress Visiting Seward
Frank A. Boyle, democratic candi
date for delegate to Congress, arriv
ed on Saturday’s train from the Inter
ior, leaving today on the Yukon for
Cordova, Juneau and points south.
Mr. Boyle is very optimistic over his
prospects for election, and believes
that a good vote will be polled this
fall for ^ 11 Democratic candidates.
Speaking of his trip to the Interior
Mr. Boyle said that he found mining
operations in full swing with the peo
ple of Fairbanks very optimistic over
the entrance of the Harnmon interests
in the field. This company which is
represented by Norman Stines, a well
known engineer, has finished its sur
vey for ditches and it is reported are
taking up all options on claims which
they have been drilling during the
past summer.
The London-South African Explora
tion Company, represented by Mr.
Dwyer, has taken up its options on
practically all claims on Ester creek.
These placer properties are said to be
unusually rich, and will bring prosper
ity back to Fairbanks and vicinity.
Mr. Boyle visited in Nenana, Fair
banks and the various creeks in the
district and found a spirit of optimism
prevaded all camps.
In an interview with a Gateway re
porter Mr. Boyle stated that he be
lieved in full Territorial form of gov
ernment for Alaska and a literacy test
for all voters, irrespective of race or
color. Speaking of the vast sum
derived from the sale of fur seals
killed at the Pribilof islands, Mr.
Boyle declared he favored the use of
this money for Territorial schools and
increased pensions for aged pioneers.
• Some $200,000 is realized annually
from this Alaskan resource, the mon
ey going to the United States treas
ury and Alaska receiving no benefits
! whatever.
' Mr. Boyle also advocates the giving
> of actual title to fox islands to fur
t farmers, holding that the recent Ter
ritorial tax on this growing industry
is harmful and wrong. “There is no
more justice in taxing the fur farm
er than there is the agricultural farm
er,” said Mr. Boyle. “And the fur
farmer has as much right to a title
to his holding as the agricultural
farmer or homesteader, as his invest
ment is always much greater.”
Mrs. L. L. Davis, wife of the well
known driver for the Alaska Transfei
is a passenger on the steamshii
Northwestern, sailing Saturday. Mr
and Mrs. Davis will take the Craw
ford cottage.

FOR WORLD SERIES
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—By defeat
ing Philadelphia 5 to 1 this afternoon
while Brooklyn was losing to Boston
3 to 2 the New Yrork Giants won their
fourth consecutive place in the Nat
ional League championship games.
The Washington Senators got a
strangle hold on the American League
pennant Saturday by trouncing the !
Red Sox 7 to 5. The worst that can j
happen to the Nationals now is a tie
for first place with the Yanks who
were beaten by the Athletics today 4
to 3 and by this defeat dropping back
to two full games behind the Senators.
Each team has two more games to
! play.
Another victory for Washington or
| another defeat for the Yanks would
I cinch the flag for the Senators.
The Yukon expects to leave immed
iately after her arrival, about 3 p. m.
