William Britt of Juneau arrived
In Skagwa/ on the Spokane yeeter
day and will remain here f°r the
balance of the week looking after
his business interests.
In speaking of conditions in Ju
neau, Mr. Britt states that at the
preseu* time with tbg fishing in
dustries In full swing, business in
all llues Is very brisk, as the work
ers lu the canneries, both whites
and natives, come into the city with
their pockets full of money, and
they ure willing to spend it.
"This winter," to quote Mr. Britt,
"this condition will be changed. I
loo»- for an extremely quiet winter
aft»« th. ealmon canneries have fin
Ishod the season. It is almost im"
posslole to get help, and when this
is posslole the wages asked are 'im
possible.' It is estimated that Gas
tiueau channel cities have lost Ml"
ly 5.00,0 of their population dur
inir the pasi several months, owing
to the desire of labor to take up
the war iudustrigs work, antf there
Is not much of that class, with the
exception of the salmon industry,
in the north."
Mr. Biitt said that the representa
tlve of this paper could' say for
him that he was "terribly well" and
h« adde^ that he was mighty glad
to be baek in old Skagway for a
few dars and drink in our glorious
sunshine.
Jaeo^ came up with his father,
and he will surprise his many
friends, not only of the younger
set, out the grown-ups as well, to
find a "young man" instead of a
kiddi* a" when he left here. Pater
Br't* has every reason to be proud
of the "chip off the old- block" for
Britt, jr.. Is certainly a mighty fine
sowimen of the Alaska product of
"boy."
Bob Eville is receiving the con
sratulations of his many friends
over the fact that he is conquering
the Scotch dialect. It is said that
Bob started over to Whitehorse last
Saturday, but as the train ne»red
CarcrQss he heard the strains of a
bagoipe and stepped off the car
aug- spent a week end there. It is
whispered that Bob has ordered a
pai* of Dipes and willc ommence the
studv of that musical instrument.
Advice wag received) this morning
by Agent Brown of the Pacific S
S. company that the City of Seattle
woul *• sail from Seattle on Sept.
7tli and should arrive in thisp ort
on the 12th. The City will pass
Sitka ou this trip. The Spokane
win san on Sept 14, but will not
come as far north as Skagway, but
wil' go to Sitka instead.
Soiuiy Achison, one of the Alas
kan's carriers, was taken to the
Wbite Pass hospital this morning
sutierine from the effects of an in*
ected leg. Sc. time ago the lit
tle lad bruised " while play
lu? and in some manner this
bruise has developed Into a serious
aare. It is Delieved' ttiat a minor
opeiation will remove the trouble

CUBS AND YANKS LUCKY
TO GET STAR CATCHERS
The Chicago Cubs huve been
noted for years as a team thut
gets good catchers. For years
Johnny Kllng was the ranking
backstop of the National
league, and after he went back
the Cubs had another star In
the person of Jimmy Archer.
After Jimmy passed from the
stage" of greatness the same
club got 15111 KUlefer. The
Yankees In recent years have
been specializing the same way.
The capture of Bill Walters was
a master stroke, as he Is rated
today as one of the best mask
men In the game. Now the
Yanks conn; up with another
star backstop, Ilnrry Hannah.
Meanwhile Miller Huggius In
sists that Muddy Ituel Is one of
the best young catchers he ever
saw. Tom Clarke, a steady vet
eran, also Is with the team. Hug
gins surely Is well fixed In catch
ing talent.

ber of the Detroit Tigers* pitching staff

LEARNED FROM GOLF EXPERT
Fred Luderus, Who Had Habit of Step,
ping Forward at Plate, Is Shown
Error of his Ways.
It Is said that Fred Luderus, one of
the most dangerous hitters In the Na
tional league, really became an effec
tive batter through the Instructions of
a golf expert.
This golf expert was In the city
where the Phillies were training. He
noticed that Luderus had a tendency to
step forward and throw his body In
front of the plate as he prepared to
swing at the ball. Now to a golfer
that was a fatal weakness. The good
golfer always throws Ids body into the
swing. It 1s certain that If the body
goes forward first the only power re
maining In the swing Is that of the
arms alone.
This expert noted that when Luderus
met the ball there was no Torce to the
blow? and easy grounders trickled off
his batj- He coached Luderus on his
stance, as he called It, and explained
the necessity of getting the force be
hind the blow. Luderus tried It and
after a time began to belt the ball with
terrific force. And any big league play
er will tell you now that Luderus cer
tainly has a wallop.
