Baseball Notes
By HAMILTON
(Special to Gateway by United Press'*
NEW YORK. August 26.—St.
Louis, besides being the alleged hot
test place in the world where they
play baseball, can claim one more dis
tinction. Included in the runks of here
tofore major league baseball clubs are
two of the games most brilliant and
versatile performers.
With George Sigler outclassing all
rivals as a utility man in the Ameri
can League, his fellow citizen. R re:
Hornsby of the Cardinals leads all op
position in the National organization.
Hornsby, who is playing his first
year as a big leaguer, has played all
four positions in the infield and has
done mighty well at it. Of late he
has been prancing around first base,
but he has done most of his playing at
third base and shortstop. He is said
to be some shucks as a catcher, too.
but so far there has been no need for
him to don wind-pads anil mask.
Sisler, besides bring a star per
former at fii*t base, is a great out
fielder, and can pitch a hangup game.
His fork-hand style of throwing the
ball handicaps him some as an in
fielder. but a short time ago he went
to thin! when Jimmy Austin was laid
up and turned in a perfect fielding
day. Sisler, a college product, never
played a minor league game. He is
spending his second season in the hig
show.
Each of these stars is a batting
phcnom of no mean ability. Hornsby,
since the start of the reason, has not
fallen below the .1101) mark, while
Sisler is cracking the ball right close
to that and probably will go over it
before the close of the season.
There isn't a man in either league
who can compare with these two mar
vels as a utility man.
Probably Clarence Mitchell of the
Reds or Charley Mullen of the Yank
ees, comes nearest.
Mitchell is a star outfielder and can
play first base satisfactorily. Like
wise, he is a good pitcher.
Mi’Ucr is a flashy first sucker ami
can play the outfield or se I bas**
Lee Magic of the Yanks is an ex
cellent inhdder as well as an out
lieldcr.
Joe Tinker, manager of the Cubs, is
about through looking for shortstops.
Tinker declared a few days ago he is
thinking seriously of getting hack
Into the game himself. This is about
the third similar announcement Tink
er has made this season.
Bill Donovan has accomplished
wonders with the Yankees. He is
certain to he retained for next year.
James C. Dunn, president of the
Cleveland Club, says he w ill pay $.‘>0,
000 for another hall player next
winter.
White Sox fans see little hope for
Ted Jourdan. first baseman purchased
from the St. Joseph Western League
Club. Jack Ness and Jacques Fourn
ier are doing great work for the
Comiskey clan.
There will be two boxing clubs in
the field this winter In Milwaukee.
This Cream City Club, headed b$ Tom
Andrews, will have the Auditorium
again, but a place to stage the shows
on the National Club, operated by the
Mulkern-Steinel Organization, has not
been picked.
Karl Tingling, a former loft hand
I hurler with Brooklyn, will have a
chance in the American League. The
Senators have taken him from Min
neapolis. He is quite a hitter as well
as a heady, dependable pitcher.

Administration Gold Bricks
When Roosevelt was President the Danish West Indies could have
been purchased for $5,000,000. The present administration has no
hesitancy in paying $25,000,000, besides throwing in all American dis
covery rights in Greenland.
Congress passed the Alaska Railroad Bill, $.25,000,000, for the
construction of 1,000 miles of railroad. At the present rate of con
struction, the cost of 1,000 miles would aggregate $110,000,000 and re
quire 20 years to build.
The Canadian government attempted and did build a railroad from
Moncton, Canada, at a cost of $174,000,000, while the engineers’ esti
mates for the work was $7.2,000,000.
Is it possible that President Wilson made a grave error in desig
nating Seward the One and Only Ocean Terminal of the (lovernment
Railroad instead of Anchorage?
Did it ever occur to Delegate Wickersham that every knock
against the Alaska Road Commission is a boost and belittles his
chances politically? With wagon roads and trails tributary to th<>
Government railroad you will develope Alaska ten fold. Sew aid is
getting her first real recognition this year from the Alaska Road Com
mission as Congress in its wisdom saw fit to appropriate the reason
able sum of $500,000 for wagon roads and trails. If congress recogniz
ed the true conditions in Alaska they would unhesitatingly vote $1,000,
000 annually for that purpose.—Why even British Columbia appropri
ate $3,000,000 annually for Wagon Roads.
If we can afford to spend $130,000,000 to catch one lone Greaser,
we ought to have no trouble in getting one million dollars annually foi
the next ten years.—For Wagon Roads.
In the meantime while the political pot is boiling, it will pay you
to call on the Seward Commercial Co., and see what they have to oiler
in the way of Bargains in Merchandise. Don’t forget the famous
Universal Stoves and Ranges. Victrolas and Victor Records, every
thing for the Home or Trail. Don’t forget Seward’s Fair Week, under
the direction of the Womens’ Club of Seward.

NEWS NOTES
Seals have come into the bay an<t
have opened the salmon hunting seas-;
I on.
J. H. Eagle of New York arrived on
the Evans for a hunting trip with Hen
Sweasev and will be in the hills sev
oral days. Mr. Eagle thinks he might
call himself a sourdough as he has had
a couple of hunting trips down around
Wrangell. He also thinks Seward
harbor is at least as good as that of
Sydney or Rio do Janeiro and another
thing he thinks is that if the million
aires of New York knew what new
life Alaska had to offer them they
would come in droves.
Captain Mehaffey of the Alaska
Road Comission came on the Evans
last evening but proceeded to Anchor
age. He will return to Seward and
spend some days here looking over
the work.
