, United States bonds and other gilt edge securities.
 Of course money that lies in the vault can't produce anything, and this accounts in some measure for the high interest rate which Alas kan banks charge.
 Speaking of high interest, Mir. Bal derston gave another reason for it, and with 1t fine picture of the Banks idea about it's proper work in the Territory. ~.
 'An Alaskan banker must, at times, make loans which would seem inn possible to a brother banker in the States" he said. we must remem- Der that all pioneer countries need capital and that the development of a new mine, or the opening up of a new logging camp is not exactly the same as the operation, say. of an old established factory in the thick ly settled community, with markets near at hand.
 "The banker in Alaska is the first one approached when new develop ments are projected, and, as no one is better posted concerning local conditions than he is, it is almost impossible for new industries to get loans elsewhere.
 "His duty to the community de- mands that he be liberal with the loans upon which the country's de- velopment depends, and his duty to the depositors is plainly to see that no loss accrues to them.
 And, I am happy to say, the banks of Alaska have a phenomenally suc- cessful record. There has only been one bank failure in the history of the Territory, and that was during gold rush years ago.
 'fSo far as the Bank of Seward is concerned, it's surplus of over $12,- 800 indicates that it has had success with it's loans, and it's deposits indi- cate that it has the entire confidence of the community"
 As THE Financial institution of Seward the banks interests are widespread It draws upon the en- tire westward area, the Kenai pen insula and a good part of the rail- road belt, and it's depositors are scat tered over enough territory to make six or eight states outside. It is to- day the only bank in Southwestern Alaska west of Valdez and south of Anchorage.
 The Bank owns and occupies the first floor of handsome concrete of flee building on Main street, and is completely equipped with all modern appliances which one would look for in a big metropolitan institution, from fireproof vaults and magan- csc safes to electric posting machines.
 And it's officers show visitors thru the banking rooms and display their statement of condition with a two- fold pride, for, as they put it, "The splendid success and surprising growth of the Bank of Seward is not merely a favorable reflection on the management-it is proof positive of the Success and Prosperity of Sew ard itself for the bank is a barometer of the community.

Ossie Is not a mushroom star. He
has not popped out Of darkness into
light. His development has been
gradual, even though he was not to
be rated above the average Of big
league third basemen last season.
When brought to Washington from
Peoria in 1921, Ossie had been work
ing at shortstop and though he was
clever player afleld his work was
nothing startling and he was woefully
weak at bat. But even at that time
he revealed enough worth to make
the Washington club keen about
keeping string on him.
He was farmed to Minneapolis,
where he played second, third and
short, and while there his throwing
arm was SO good that Joe Cantillon.
his manager, humorously protested
that unless Washington quickly re-
called the young inflelder the Mime
apolis club would have to release him,
as he was running the hands Of all
the other members Of the infield.
Bluege came back to Washington
late In 1922 and went to- the Tampa
training camp in 1923 to fight for q
berth with the club. The young fel.
low injured his knee and the third
base job went to Doc Prothro. Soon
after the 1923 campaign started, how
ever, Bluege recovered from his In
jury and frequently broke into the
lineup.
He showed enough to convince
DOME Bush. who was the Nationals'
manager that season, that he was tho
man for the job. BIueSe's fielding
had improved remarkably and he had
picked up a great deal at bat. But
again his trick knea went back on
H,tv ~ y@A -
tically all the latter part Of the 1928
campaign.
Finally, ski1lful surgery repaired
the ailing Joint properly, and at the
1924 Tampa camp . Bfuege handily
earned the third d-basing Job. He
learned much Of the art Of taking care
Of his particular position while Wash
ington was winning its way Ito its
first pennant, but was unable to show
any marked Improvement in batting.
The modest young fellow, however.
stepped onto the field this year third
sacker Of the class that Is Joy to
managers and began slammi1g the
ball at a faster rate than he ever had
before, in the big league. He contin.
ued his good fielding all season and
only recently, when he began to feel
the strain Of the grueling struggle
did his batting become less effective.
Through the greater part Of the
season he hit for d mark Above 800
and even with his late slump he will
finish the year in the high .2sos. The

Predicting greater interest than ever
before, Heydler adds his belief that
the games could be played before
crowds OF 10000 IL facilities for such
were Avatlable. His statement follows:
with the interest in the world
series mounting to fever heat on both
sides of the Alleghenies, do not
hesitate to predict that the coming
struggle will be one of the most color
full and momentous in the long list OF
such contests between the senior and
the Junior circuits of the major
leagues.
pittsburgh has fast and powerful
young team,. he declared, ''and is
sure to be a fine and worthy repre-
sentative Of our league.
1.-The coming struggle Is all the
more interesting and spectacular In
that 1t will be held between represen-
tattves OF the Eastern and Western
slopes Of the Alleghenies.
While believe that the Pittsburgh
Pirates have a little the better chance
to win, yet it would be foolish to make
confident predictions when a team Of
the steadiness and spirit Of the Wash.
ington Senators Is engaged with a
team that has the brilliance and the
power Of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The series interest grows wider
and deeper every year. The results
will be broadcast and cabled all over
the world. The ticket demand would
tax q park with a seating capacity
Of 200, 900. It should be q great series,
and a thrilling spectacle when the
dash and daring OF the young Pitts
burgh club meets the steadiness and
the skill of the older veterans Of the
Washington club"

The margin now widely conceded
to the National Leaguers is slight
but fairly well reflected in several
wagers made at odds Of six to five in
Wall Street. At least part of this
switch in opinion undoubtedly Is due
to the somewhat alarming reports of
the last few days concerning the con-
dition of several of Washington
stars.
Influences Are Odds.
Backers of the Nationals have been
given a few chtlls by announcements
which picture Stanley Coveleskie,
star Highlander. suffering from back
strain; Roger Peckinpaugh, veteran
shortstop, sustaining fresh injury to
his weak ankle; Stanley Harris still
experiencing trouble with a wounded
digit, and Walter johnson not en-
tirely recovered from an attack of In
fluenZa and a leg injury.
Mishaps thus have hit at the very
backbone of Washington's offensive
and defensive strength. Their i'm
portance Is discounted by observers
who are confident Washington will
have its full strength In the OPEN
ing battle, but their effect, neverthe-
less, has been to cast a bit of uncer-
tainty over the champions prospects.
It is generally conceded that most
Of Washington's hopes rest on the

and one who can hit. He has been

first and second games in that order.
Should injuries or mishaps weaken
the effectiveness of either veteran the
Nationals chances will be correspond
ingly dimmed.
In this pre-series speculation the
Pirates also are gaining support be
cause of the aggressive and powerful
attack which they are expected To
launch against the American League
titleholders. Backed by youthful
spirit there is a growing impression
that the Buccaneers may break down
even the resourceful and brilliant de
fense which has been consistently
outstanding feature Of Washington's
work. On the other hand. there is
substantial section of opinion which
is confident the Nationals will check
their impetuous rivals and triumph
on their superior steadiness and eX
perience.
May Go the Limit.
In virtually all calculations, how
ever, it Is assumed that the series
will go at least six games and prob
ably the limit of seven, as did last

event Washineton's superior reserve
