JACK MCGOWAN
IN Big SHOW
City's Premier Ump Off to
Work in Blue Ridge
League
LEARNED GAME
ON HOME LOTS

Jack MCGOWAN. regarded as the
premier ump around these parts,
excluding his brother Bill who is on
his third season in the International
League, left today ito take up his
task Of indicator manipulator in the
Blue Ridge League. Jack most
likely will be chief OF staff in the
Maryland circuit.
This will not be Jacks first trip
away from home on an umpiring
job as he worked a number Of games
in the Blue Ridge several seasons
ago. In addition. he was the choice
as umpire for a number OF college
tilts. giving the decisions in Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania diamond bat
ties and also officiating for villa
Nova. Last season he umpired for
Strawbridge and Clothier in Phila-
delphia and handled most of the big
games around Wilmington. He also
worked Steel League games. He
learned the game in the All-Wil-
mington League ten years ago and
stayed with that organization until
two years ago. This year Jack has
been helping put the Newspaper
League out In front. He is a friend
Of the newspaper boys.
The entry Of Pack MCGOWAN in the
Blue Ridge League makes only the
second pair OF brothers working as
umpires in organized baseball The
other brothers are Tom Connolly,
American League dean. and his
brother Frank of the American AS
ISOLATION. Jack and Bill McGowan
have brought much credit TO Will
mington for their ability as arbiters.
Bill is rated as one OF the best in
minor league ranks and is being
talked of for a berth up in the big
show. A little more experience will
land him a JOB in either the Amer
lean or National League.
Jack MCGOWAN broke in as an
umpire in the Wilmington
League when 1t was first started by
Arthur c. Davies ten years ago. He
has progressed considerably and hi,
choice by the Blue Ridge League
was a wise one.
Aside from baseball, Jack has al
ways been a leader OF other event
in the local sporting fraternity. A
one time he assisted in handling tn
Imperial and Olympic football
teams, premier gridiron aggrega
tions in this section in their day. II,
has always been a booster of the
iistic sport and could always handle
his mitts well--an ump needs too
Jack was always a frequent and
popular visitor to the Philly fight
clubs. He has refereed a number
Of bouts around Wilmington.

Bowdoin, Staunch Craft For

EAST BOOTHBAY. Maine.-The
schooner Bowdoin. built TO carry
Donald B. Macmillan. the explorer.
on his next Arctic voyage. starting
in July, was launched az noon Sat
urday, from the shipyard of Hodg-
don Bros. here.
In design and construction the
Bowdoin embodies all elements OF
special provision for the work ahead
of her suggested by the long expert
ence Of Macmillan. who was the
chief lieutenant of Peary in his sue
cessful expedition to the North Pole.
Her huh is egg-shaped with nothing
to which ice can cling Under sufii-
oient pressure from the ice foes. the
the Bowdoin instead of being crushed
should lift out Of water and be car
ried along with the pack and as
safely slip back when the pressure
is relieved.
SO confident is Macmillan Of the
schooner's ability to cope with the
frozen channels of the Far North
that he plans to pass through the
dangerous Fury and Hecia strait on
the west side of Bafin Bay. where
former expeditions have been lost or
turned back. His plans include also
either a return by the strait or the
circumnavigation of Baffin land
after exploring a strentch of 1000
miles of it's western shore on which
it is believed no white man has ever
set foot. It is said to be the longest
strip of unexplored coast in the
world.
The Bowdoin is of about the size

The schooner will have a gener-
Gus spread of canvas to enable her

should the fuel supply give out.
When winter sets in, a three-foot
