NOW MOTHER SLOAN IS
AFTER GLORY ON TURF
The turf and the inline of Sloan are
synonymous, it seems.
There always has been a Sloan iden
tified with the racing game for the past
forty years.
As soon as one Sloan drops from
sight another gets in the profession.
With the passing of Tod Sloan and his
brother, also a jockey, there arrives
still another Sloan. The latest halls
from Kentucky, while the other Sloans
came from Indiana. The newcomer is
Charles, son of Frank Sloan, Lexing
ton (Ky.) horseman.
Charles has been engaged by the rac
ing stable of Middleton & Jones at La.
tonia.
k SOME MANAGERS LAST LONG.
Athletici and Giants Have Retained
Same Leaders For Ten Years.
During the last ten years in baseball
every team in the National and Ameri
can leagues, with the exception of the
Philadelphia Athletics and the New
York Giants, has bad two or more
managers.
Ten years ago John McGraw was
managing the Giants and Connie Mack
was leading the Athletics. These two
tmen are still piloting those teams and
1 fair to do so for many years to
me.
McGraw started his career with the
Giants in 1903. Under him the New
Yorkers won the National league pen
nants in 1904 and 1905 and the world’s
title in 1905. They lost the National
league championship in 1908 because
of Merkle's famous “boner" and finish
ed third in 1909. In 1910 the Giants
finished second and were first in 1911,
1912 and 1913. The Giants lost the
world’s series with the Athletics in
1911, lost to the Boston Red Sox in
1912 and 1913. For the big honors in
1914 the Giants were nosed out in the
pennant fight by the Braves nfter the
latter had made a whirlwind finish. In
1915, for the first time in McGraw’s
management, they finished in the cellar.
Connie Mack organized the Athletics
in 1901. They won the American league
rchampionship in 1902, 1905, iaj(), 1911,
1913 and 1914. They also capfhred the
world’s title in 1910 from the £ijbs and
from the Giants in 1911 and lg$g.
year they finished last, for rae first
time in their career.

PRACTICES WITH TENNIS MEN
Molls Bjurstodt Doss All Hor Prelimi
nary Work In Thio Way.
Followers of tenuis on the Pacific
coast who have watched Miss Molla
Bjurstedt, national woman tennis
champion, play may get on inkling as
to the reason for her unusual ability on
the court when they loarn that her real
practice is practically all done against
men opponent ST In this Miss Bjur
stedt has taken a leaf out of the book
of the Fstcilic coast players. In Sun
Francisco especially the tuning up of
women players against the men long
has been thfe' practice, and the men
champions are mnch in demand before
every woman's match. Mrs. H. A. Nle
meyer, Mrs. Thomas Fletcher and oth
er women players of more than local
note have adopted this method of
strengthening their play. Miss Mar
jorie Wale (“Little May Sutton”! and
others of the younger players were ed
ucated In the game largely by men
players.
In the Golden Gate park courts,
where many champions have been de
veloped, the play of the women is
watched as closely as that of the men
by the experts.
By getting used to the stronger,
faster strokes that men naturally are
capable of delivering the champion is
prepared to handle what her women
opponents can serve, which in the long
run is not likely to be as powerful as
the attack of which the average good
male player is capable.

Reduction of Egotism
One of the Beneficent
Effects of War
By Dr. G. STANLEY HALL, j
President of Clark University j
<>-O
I HAVE tried to think what good
may come to the world from the
present war, and 1 find most
comfort in the sublime spectacle of
the youth of all nations in America
following the story of the war to
gether without letting old world
rancors draw them into conflict.
. because of the
GENUINE!?^ NEUTRAL THOUGHT
OF AMERICANS THE TRUE VER
DICT OF HISTORY ON THE EURO
PEAN WAR AND ITS CAUSE3 WILL
BE THE RESULT OF AMERICAN
OPINION.
One of the benefiteent effects of
war is that it brings men of one na
tionality together. They huddle to
gether as animals do in time of dan
ger. Another good result is that it
reduces egotism. The individual
sinks himself in the mass. He real
izes that the beehive goes on for
ever even though the worker dies in
three months. It is not only in
mankind that war reduces egotism
and promotes deeds of heroism and
unselfishness. The warrior ants
yearn to die for their fellows. EU
ROPE AND AMERICA TOO
SADLY NEEDED A LESSON IN
UNSELFISHNESS.
He was just a common, mangy, yel
low dog but he undoubtedly saved his
master’s life Tuesday night. Alaska
without dogs would certainly be an
anomaly and it is seldom that a native
of the cherry blossom country be
comes particularly attached to dogs.
Still this son of the Mikado and his
yellow dog that acts both as a com
panion and a beast of burden, are fa
miliar characters on the streets of An
chorage. It is not alone Americans
that celebrate the holidays and their
manner of celebrating is various, of
ten taking the form of holiday spirit
that finds form in the long-stemmed
wine glass. It is not surprising that
the foreign element occasionally, “do
ing as the Romans do,” and emulating
their supposed peers, should take on
more than they can handle. Nor
should they be criticised too severely
if they too should overstep the bounds
of propriety and sobriety.
Probably not realizing that the holi
days were passed and it was the day
for renewing the old and oft broken
resolutions, this desciple of jiu jitsu
was still celebrating. He had not
drunk wisely but too much. His sole
companion was his dog—“the one ab
solutely unselfish friend that man can ]
have in this selfish world, the one that
never deserts him, the one that never
proves ungrateful or treacherous is
his dog. A man’s dog stands by him
in prosperity, in health and in sick
ness."
In making his rounds Tuesday
night, on one of the side streets, Mar
shal Frank Hoffman heard the plain
tive whining" of a dog. Being a thor
ough Alaskftp, and incdentally a lover
of dogs, Frank went to the spot where
the cries came from and there on the
cold, frozen ground found ths son of
Mikado in an advanced stage of in
toxication but watched over and
guarded by his faithful dog, the friend
that never deserts. The dog was pull
ing at his master’s clothes in the vain
endeavor to waken him and when
Frank came on the scene evidently
recognized that help was at hand. The
dog expressed his joy and relief in his
own style peculiar to dogs and started
cftf down the road barking and leading
the way. Frank took the charge to
headquarters where he was safely
housed for the night and the dog slept
at his master’s feet, still guarding the
troubled sleeper throughout the night.
With the awakening of a new day
came remorse, also gratitude for the
charge gi-aciously thanked Mr. Hoff
man, not for taking care of him but of
the dog, his friend. The two, man
and dog, trotted silently down the
avenue to resume their day’s work
but with the solemn promise that they
would not again attempt to lift “the
white man’s burden.”

OUT OF ONE OF STRONGEST
PENITENTIARIES IN COUNTRY
(Fairbanks Citizen.)

‘ESCAPED FROM THE U. S. PENI
TENTIARY
“Leavenworth, Kansas, November 12,
1916.
“Chas. Hendrickson, No. 5655,
“Alias ‘The Blue Parka Man.’
“Description: White man, age 53
years, height 5 feet 1)4 inches in bare
feet; weight about 182 pounds, dark
chestnut hair, pale, azure blue eyes,
medium fair complexion, stout build,
oblique scar one inch long back of left
hand near base of thumb, bullet scar
Vz x V2 inch at three inches below top
of right shoulder; horizontal scar one
inch long at two inches above center
of left eyebrow; round scar % x Vz
inch at center of chin; slightly round
raised scar back of right ear near top.
Nationality, Finland. Occupation, en
gineer; residence, Fairbanks, Alaska.”
The above is an accurate description
of Hendrickson, the man who created
a reign of terror throughout this dis
trict while he was at large, and was
finally captured and sentenced to 15
year’s imprisonment. He gained his
alias from his habit of wearing a blue
parka while operating. He worked
along the creek trails, robbing trav
elers of all descriptions, and a large
part of his booty consisted of gold
dust. It is thought that it is possible
that he has some of his spoil cached
in this vicinity, and that he may make
an attempt to recover it. For this
reason the authorities are asked to be 1
on the lookout for him.
