Pirates battered in the gates Of pen.

wears Of disappointment, nor does It
approach the wild enthusiasm shown
by supporters of the Washington
Senators and st. Louis Cardinals

But interest in the series is within
one or two degrees Of fever heat,
and pandemoniun. already on the
verge OF breaking loose. no doubt
will reign supreme at the first sign
of a Pittsburgh batting rally.
The bali players themselves
were itching to get out on

rush and indications were that
both teams would be put through
. lengthy workout.
The Yankees were to have had
the field for practice this morning,
but DOME Bush, who mis- taking no
chances with the elements, politely
informed Mr.. Higgins that the
Pittsburgh practice would be held
this morning and the New York
workout this afternoon. The only
exercise that the Pirates have had
since the close Of the National
League season has consisted Of
wrist exercises pitching nickels
antes to the center OF the table.
Following today's workouts, the
rival teams will be ready for the
opening yelp Of 'Play Ball. Babe
Ruth and Buster Gehrig, the siege
guns OF the Yankees, already have
sighted the range on the right field

tice here. A party Of Sunday
school teachers from Indiana, pass

by SO many baseballs that they
thought they had run into a wan.

Hoosier state.

told a group Of his pals over on
New Jersey Avenue last evening,

these long rights of NINE" So
it seems that Gallagher has con-
fidence, at least, and any fighter
will tell You confidence with
out cocksureness is about half
the battle.
In no few ways Lamar and
Gallagher shape up in much
the manner that Tunney and
Dempsey compare. Lamar is of
the crafty, scientific school,
while Gallagher is the slugger
who grits his teeth and tears in.
Beyond that, both are embryos,
but if they will only get ia
there and give the bugs some
action, the fans will not ask
more.
Jerry Mccarthy is among the
many Washingtonians who be-
lieve Gallagher has more than
an even chance to win his fight
with Lamar, Jerry having
watched Marty almost from the
cradle. "He has a good fight
ing heart" Jerry said, "and
enough ability to keep out of
trouble the while he is handing
out plenty Of it."
Indications are Lamar will
answer the bell q favorite, but
in these days and times Of
sports upsets, long and short
money do not always furnish an
accurate barometer. They pay
off on what happens in the ring
not outside of it.

GORDON PLANS OPENING
 STORE IN KETCH|KAN

In line with his policy of acquiring greater purchasing power, which means that prices are lowered when ever the purchasing power becomes greater, F. S. Gordon, newest of Sew ards business men who has just ac- quired the former Ellsworth's Ladies Wear and Dry Goods store, stated to the Gateway yesterday that he is now in a position to sell all women's wear and dry goods at New York and Seat tie prices.
 MT. Gordon returned to Seward last Friday from his Anchorage establish ment to relieve Mrs. Archie Balder- ston, permitting her to return to her fromer home in Anchorage and pack up her personal effects prior to resid- ing permanently in Seward as manag- CT of the Gordon store. MT. Gordon is making many alterations, which when completed, will permit a much better display of the merchandise. He is also moving in much additional new stock, the latest from the trade marts.
 MT. Gordon now has a chain of stores extending from Southeastern Alaska to the heart of the Territory, Fairbanks, these stores being located at Juneau, Seward, Anchorage and Fairbanks. He also operates a large store at Camp Lewis, Wash. He in- forms the Gateway that he recently spent two weeks in Ketchikan, en- deavoring to find a suitable location for another Gordon store, but to date has been unable to find just what he he wants. However, he expects to open up store there in the very near future.

'ALOMA' PROMISES ID BE
 4 WONDERFUL PICTURE

A young American on a South Sea Isle-drinking himself right down to the gutter. A brown-skin dancer who adores him because he once de- tended her. Tropical nights-the surf pounding away-and love.
 Enter a native who longs for the girl. He swears vengeance if any, thing should happen to her. Then along comes an old sweetheart, now married to the lads. best friend. What happens? Remember-there are sharks-who prefer white meat to brown"-sharks in the lagoon. And raging tempests. South Sea dances and-oh well-one has to see "Aloma of the South Seas" to appre- ciate it.
 This picture which comes to the Liberty Theatre tonight, marks Gilda Gray's debut as a Paramount star. Maurice Tourneur directed it. The least includes such players as Percy Marmont, Julanne Johnston, William Powell and Warner Baxter.
