rangements with California cap

various claims. Two dredges will

induced a colony of his country

obtained possession of a number
of claims, and all these, he says,
will share with him in the clean
up he is about to make and which
is placed by his friends at from
two to three million dollars.

supposed to crawl in an undig
nified manner before they can
qualify to play in tlie game. Ever
thoughtful of his own side he in
vented a qualification for the
Fats also, whereby they are re
quired to pass through an open
ing about, four feet wide. The
qualification stakes are placed
near the cable office.
Being neither lean nor fat, we
can safely comment on what we
consider unjust treatment of the
V-ean*-, and we, therefore, calT the
Leans' attention to the fact that
thi.' Tats have quietly bougKX the
services of Mike Sullivan, paying
therefor Ihe enormous sum of
time thousand dollars for the one
game. Mike is a mile high and
about, half that wide and weighs
in the neighborhood of a thou
sand pounds more or less, and
in addition to this he is some
ball player.
It may be, however, thai Goldie,
v.ho is considered something of
a dark horse when it comes to
ball playing, will even up the
handicap which the addition of
Mike gives to the Fats.
Considering it carefully and
from a close inspection of the
fa si work done by the hundred
or more Leans who wen? nut lo
practice las! nighl, we believe
that all in all the Leans will have
a good team, that is if all Ihe
aspiranls for Ihe (earn play in

Charley Day, who just barely
made the Fats' loam, is quietly
agitating a movement to have a
prize ring erected near the grand
stand so that all difficulties may
be settled without delaying the
game.
In wandering about town this
morning we accidentally dropped
in Charley Crawford's shop
and there was Charley drilling
out the core of the biggest bat
we e\er saw ami loading il with
lead. This and numerous other
suspicious things which we have
noticed members of both teams
doing, impresses us with the be
lief thai a competent corps of in
spector^ should be named, they to
search every player before lie
froes into the game.

While an ordinary hall game
only requires I wo umpires, we
would suggest that in view oflhe
extraordinary players in the
coining game, that two umpires
he stationed at every base and
four referees at the home plate.
No player should be allowed to
make a speech to the umpire* or
referees nor should they throw
their bats at the umpires or the
pitcher. It may be that the um
pires do not understand the game
but they certainly will be able to
back up their decisions with nu
merous and sundry fines.

The argument was opened by
Falcon Joslyn, an allorney of
Seal lie, on behalf of O'Connor.
Of Sturdy frame, snow-white hair
and rugged features, the old
Klondike pioneer, who has turned
politician, sat in silence (luring
the first half of the hearing. Jos
lyn charged gag rule; that I he
officials of the party, headed by
Daly, had forsaken I ho regular
meeting place and with a small
minority had chosen the dele
gates seated by the national
committee. He claimed that the
large majority of the delegates
had elected O'Connor chairman
of their convention and had se
lected the set of delegates on
hand to lake the place of Daly
and his associates. He said That
Daly did not live in Alaska, but
in Seattle. Things looked decid
edly favorable to the O'Connor
faction, when J. II. Cobb, one oT
the contested delegates, took the
floor.
He charged that the credentials
presented to the convention in
Alaska by ibe O'Connor crowd
were all forgeries. He said that
I hoy contained the names of d.^ad
men, men who never lived in
Alaska. He showed the sheets of
ordinary thin typewriter paper,'
with two and sometimes throe
credentials on one shoot, carbon I
copies with the blanks for names'
