j PHILADELPHIA, March 18.—The
j star of the Phillies seems to have set
; just as Grover Cleveland Alexandei
)
> attained the height of his efforts,
j Critics are not placing them any bet
5 ter than third, with small chance that
5 they will be that good.
' The punch that has featured former
j Philadelphia National League clubs,
! the superb pitching of Alexander, and
j excellent fielding will not be noted in
5 such strong qualities this year as for
| merly.
i Alexander cannot win a pennant un
| aided, nor can he hold his team in a
| first division berth. Unless some pit
! cher can he developed to help the Ne
braska wonder, Philadelphia cannot
hope to make much of a hid for a pen
nant. Rixey isn’t capable, at least ne
never has shown that he is. He is too
much of a good man today and a poor
one tomorrow. The aid of A1 Demaree,
\ Giant chaser, will be missing this
I year, and Jimmy Lavendar is scarce
ly capable of doing much. Erskine
Mayer probably will cut small figure.
Joe Oeschger is the logical man to
save the Phillies. If he can combine
some good hurling with the wonderful
efforts of Alexander the Phillies will
have some chance.
There will be no change in the Phil
lies this season. Fred Luderus, a good
steady, smart ball player, will be at
first base. He is a hard hitter, an ex
j cellent elder, and an aggressive man
1 at every stage. There are few first
\ basemen better than he.
Bert Niehotf, nevre considered bet
ter than just mediocre, will be at sec
I ond base in all probability.
Bancroft, a real star, has no serious
j opposition to shortstop, and he doubt
j less will be found there again.
Milton Stock, a good third sacker,
will be on that station.
The infield is just good—no better.
■ There are plenty of infields just as
I good and several that are better.
No more can be said of the outfield
Whitted is a remarkable ball player,
j hut his indifference has hurt his play
ing. He is not a whole outfield, nor
1 is he a Ty Cobb. Dode Paskert’s worth
is gradually declining. Goode 'or
Cooper will be found in the other gar
I den.
The worth of the pitching staff is
j summed in the foregoing estimates,
j Alexander can do wonders if he has
S help.
The catching staff is splendid. Hill
; Killefer and Burns or Adams forms a |
staff that would be welcome in any
National League club.

JUNEAU, Alaska, March 12.—
Elimination of the branch banking:
feature in the territory of Alaska is
the lone recommendation of the ter
i ritorial banking board, made in its
' report to the legislature, transmitted
to it by Governor J. F. A. Strong.
The report cites that branch banks
cannot be brought under the provi
sions of the territorial banking act of
1913 as readily as desired, and urges
the legislature to repeal that phase
.of the banking act.
To quote from the report:
“The laws of Alaska relative to the
business of banking are much more
liberal than are similar laws of many
of the states of the union, but they
are not believed to be too much so
in consideration of the peculiar needs
of our territory. With the amend- i
merits passed by the second legislat
ive assembly, session of 1915, they
have been found to be fairly satisfac
tory with one exception, this being
the branch banking feature.
‘‘Some question has been raised
concerning the definition of the limi
tation of the term ‘deposit and dis
count’ provided for branch banks un
der the territorial act.”
The board in its report includes a
comparative statement of the condi
tion of all the territorial banks at
the close of business Nov. 8, 1916, as 1
compared with the totals at the close
of business Nov. 7, 1914.
This comparative statement shows
increases and decreases of various
amounts in aggregate resources and
liabilities, the changes, for the most
part, being for the better. Capital
and surplus accounts show decreases
in small amounts, but the undivided
profits account shows an increase of
some $82,000.
“Considered in the aggregate, how
ever,” the report says, “these ac- j
counts are in much more healthy con
dition than when first coming under
the observation of the banking board.
Aggregate deposits of all kinds have
increased in total the sum of $2,820,
54o, the percentage of such increase
over the deposits of Nov. 7, 11)14 be
ing 81.2 per cent.”
The territorial banks are given one
examination a year by examiners
working for the banking board. Three
ne wbanks were added to the terri
tory in the two-year period, according
to the report. There was one failure,
that of the Valdez Bank & Tfust Co.,
at Valdez, but the depositors in this
institution did not suffer at all.
The report is signed by W. G.
Smith, territorial treasurer, who is
ex officio secretary of the banking
board.
THE GREATEST RADIO
STATION NEARLY READY
HONOLULU, T. H„ March 7.—The
great Pearl Harbor naval radio sta
tion will be completed and turned
over to the government within three
months, according to R. B. Woolver
ton, radio engineer of the Federal
Telegraph company, of San Francis
co, who arrived here recently, bring
ing with him all the apparatus that
will go into the big plant.
Mr. Woolverton said the Pearl Har
bor station will in many respects out
look any other station in existence
and that it will be completed in rec
ord time, so far as the installation of
the apparatus is concerned. He came
here from the San Diego station of
the navy department, which he re
cently completed and turned over to
the government. From Honolulu he
plans to go on to Cavita, P. I., to in
stall the third great station of the
navy, thus completing the wireless
communication between all outlying
American soil and the American
mainland.
The apparatus for the Pearl Har
bor station has arrived here and will
be taken to Pearl harbor immediate
ly. The plant, Mr. Woolverton says,
will be the highest powered of any in
the world, using 500 kilowatts. It
will use a wave of from 10,000 to
15,000 meters. The station is [o com
