MILES F. MCDONNELL
 WILL LEAVE FOR NY.
 END OF THIS MONTH

Myles F. Mcdonnell, who has been 8 resident of this city since the be- ginning of 1920, has accepted a position with large New York manufacturing concern and he and Mrs Mcdonnell and their little girls will leave here the latter part of the present month for the metrop- oils.
 Mir Mcdonnell came to Juneau in January, 1920. as the representative of the American Paper Company. Later, after the death of Sidney Jacobs, he was also made Alaska representative of the Swift packing house products. In both positions he made good, and he has made friends fer himself and those who he rep resented throughout the North.
 Hundreds of friends of MT and Mrs. Mcdonnell in Juneau, as well as Mr. McDonnell's friends through out the Territory, regret that he has been called away from this Terri tory. None ever more quickly be- came Alaskans In every sense of the world notwithstanding that they came to this frontier country di- rectly from the great metropolis.
 The New York manufacturing house which at last has secured Mir. McDonnell's services has been mak- ing him offers for long time and urging him to join it. At last an offer was made that was so attrac- tive that he could not refuse it.
 II dislike to leave Alaska said MT. Mcdonnell, 'I like the country and the people l have met here. have unlimited confidence in the future of Alaska. It is now good country and will grow better. like the people whom l have been doing business for and with. l have been treated fine. am leaving simply because l have been offered business connections that l cannot refuse"

There is no doubt today about the
best amateur baseball team in San
Antonio. The Public Service Com
pany repeated its decisive victories
of week ago over the Elks and st.
Leo's clubs at League Park Monday,
and thereby won the city amateur
championship. The Elks, by defeat
ing st. Leo's of the Parish League
again, finished runner-up.
The double victory not only gave
the Utilities full possession of the
city championship but added TO a
long string of victories. their last de-
feat occurring on May Is, when they
were defeated in their first encount-
er with the Chic-Chics by a score Of
6 to ..
In the first contest with st. Leo's
the Utilities sewed the game up in
the first inning when. with the aid
of singles by Walls and Krauss and
doubles by Harris and Schwager,
they put over five ITALICS.
One each in the third, fourth and
eighth and two in the fifth gave
them their total of ten runs.
Makes Three Doubles.
Schwager and Walls were on a
batting rampage in this game. the
former making three doubles while
the latter made two singles and a
double each was five times up.
1t took only three innings to con-
vince Manager Rever that Nollmer
would look better in "bawth" than
facing the strong batters of the Utili-
ties. Avant. who relieved him, did
a little better. but the Public Ser
vice bunch was out for the cham
pionship and had to have it.
In the second contest. the ElkS
took the outs on the flip-up and
showed their teeth in the home hall
of the first inning by scoring two
runs on a walk, single by Burnett
and n smashing triple by Sheldon.
Again in the third they put over a
tally by the timely hit and error
route
1t had now began 20 sprinkle brisk
ly and Manager Jonas. well satisfied
with his teams showing. suggested
that he game be called on account
of rain. This suggestion was booed
down and the remainder of the game
was played in a downpour.

inning, as well as in the eighth and
ninth. the Utilities batted around,

lived the weary Wurzbach in the
eighth.
Same Pair Busy Again.
In this game. Schwager and Walls
again showed form in their timely
stick work. each connecting for three
safeties, one of Schwager's choosing
its path along the first-base foul line
and not being recovered until the
fast travelling Ray had come TO rest
at the three-ouarter post. Dresch also
showed up well in this contest by
collecting a brace of doubles from
the offerings of Calm.
