DENNY MOLLOY CAN'T
 PLAY FOR FORTNIGHT

Denny Molloy will not be able to handle a ball for another fortnight, ac- cording to Dr. L. O. Egginton, who made an examination with the X-ray and took a photograph of the injured member. The photo shows that the bone in the middle finger of the right hand is split between the knuckle joint and the wrist and raised out of position. The fracture will have to be reduced over again or there will be constant menace Of permanent in. jury. Dr. Egginton will place the hand in a plaster cast for two weeks, when it is expected that tho injury will be permanently healed.
 This is hard lines on Denny, who is itching to get in the field and have Q little exercise. It Is also disquieting news to the fans who had hoped to see him in the opening game.
 It is possible that the first game be- tween Douglas and Juneau may be played on the home grounds Uext Sun day-but it is only possible.
 Grounds Look Good.
 All of the new talent, including c. Dugan. M.D.. were out on the new grounds yesterday afternoon and they are beginning to like them. This fine sunshine is having a soothing effect on the newcomers and they are going to like the place.
 Dick Hester who will likely hold down left field is a strapping big fei- low and looks capable of lifting. the sphere over onto the mining claim of Jules Caro-. Bill Reid who was i'm ported to play fist base is another big fellow and ought to be strong with the swat stick. Walter Ford is going to like Juneau, he is taking an inter est in society events already. and he will certainly become a real favorite if he pitches good ball. Young Callan is a mighty deceptive looking package. He is not very tall but he weighs ITO and is said to be the longest hitter in the bunch-not the longest between hits-but there with the big drive. They all took good and Juneau Is anx. ions to see 'cm in action.

ARTS AND CRAFTS EXHIBIT ATTRACTS MUCH INTEREST

An interesting and unique arts and crafts exhibit in the windows ot the winter and Pond company store Is at Jracting more than passing notice. The articles shown were all made ln Juneau from Alaska products, principally cop per and old mastodon ivory by Albert Berry, the Juneau craftsman.
 One exceptionally fine piece is a reading lamp in copper and old ivory, with d large dome-shaped shade of beaten copper with panels of amber ana green hammered glass; the de- sign Uu the base ol the lamp is based on tue style or the totemic carvings and represents Yahl. the Raven, a prominent feature in the carvings Of the Tnllngets. IL is particularly well adapted 10 the decoration of lamp, as in the legendry of the Indian tribes Yahl is given credit for bringing light the sun, moon and stars-to earth in the days of the creation.
 A reading lamp. with smokers tray combined, is another attractive piece ou account of it's practicability and the beauty of design.
 Other pieces deserving more than passing notice are a copper and brass vase with old ivory settings; a candle stick in copper with stem of pure white ivory and some exQuisitely shaped vases and bowls. To illus trate the process of making hand wrought pieces a very interesting ex' hibit has ben prepared showing bowl in five stages of development which tells the story at a glance.
 Many Of Mir. Berry's original de signs. in water color, are also on dis play
