JUNEAU, April 9.—House joint
memorial No. (i was offered yesterday
by Coombs. The memorial states that
as the Organic Act of the territory
provides the canvass of the election
•* for members of the legislature shall
be governed by the provisions of the
act of congress, approved May 7, 1906,
and whereas the canvass conducted
under the provisions of said act is
made by the territorial canvassing
board consisting of the governor, sur
veyor-general and collector of cus
toms and cannot be made until late in
the month of February following the i
election, and as the legislature con
venes on the first Monday in March
and it is necessary for members-elect
of the legislature from remote parts
of Alaska to start for the capital long
before the canvass can be completed
and the results announced, and where
as the returns from such remote parts
do not reach the canvassing board un
til shortly before the legislative ses
sion begins and the candidates have
no means of determining the results
of the election, except from unofficial
reports, and whereas such conditions
are not unusual, but very likely to
happen in every election, your me
morialists urge a repeal of that sec
tion of the act of congress providing
for the canvass of returns in the elec
tion of delegate from Alaska and pro

NEW YORK, April 7.—Tri.s Speak
er’s sudden elevation to the heights of
batting championship, sought for
many years by Joe Jackson, is likely
to precipitate one of the hottest
scraps in the American league dash
for the top of the average list this J
year that Ban Johnson’s or any other \
man’s circuit ever saw.
Joe struggled along for years, !
cracking the leather on lots of base
balls and attaining dizzy batting
heights. But Ty Cobb always was
just good enough to pull out in the
lead. Speaker came along, got set j
with a new club, and hit ’em so fast!
and so often that Cobb was forced!
to look on from a rear seat, while j
Jackson merely hooked on in third!
place.
Joe has issued his challenge for this)
year. He says the name once boasted
by a president of the United States
is going to be right at the top when
Ban B. promulgates next summer’s
most important list in the lives of
batters. Cobb, he says, may be sec
ond, or even Speaker may get that
far, but he has served warning that
Joe is going to ride the winning horse.
Cobb also has made some passing j
remarks in which he intimated that)
there isn’t going to be glory without
a few sprints in the summer. He I
has set his eyes on that batting cham
pionship and wants it badly enough j
to stretch his legs hard for every
blow.
Cobb, so one story goes, was a very ,
much disappointed peach when the j
last season was over and the custom- !
ary Cobb was lacking at the head of i
the American league averages. He
had acquired such a lien Adhem habit
that it was hard to let go. He was
grieved and somewhat astonished to
observe that it wasn’t Jackson who
challenged him, but Speaker, main !
cog in a machine which shouldn’t |
have placed him that high.
And just to keep competition from
growing stagnant and carrying all in
terest to the younger league, the Na
tional league probably will fling a
little dust around in staging its bat- :
tie for leadership. Jack Daubert,
long recognized as king, didn’t like it
a bit when he was nosed out a year j
ago. He likes his hits perhaps bet
ter than any other star in the game,
so promises to give Hal Chase, Roger !
Hornsby, Lew McCarthy, and some I
other aspirants the climb of their
; young lives for John K. Teller’s heav
iest batting average. All around it
should be a busy little season for the
‘ average fiend.
