To Keep Ranks Solid.
While many of their rivals face re-

Yankees have the advantage of keep

through drastic shake-up a year
ago, but packed sufficient punch to
offset any weaknesses developed in
molding a new kid infield."
This inner Gordon, Manager Miller
Higgins believes, will be the high
spot of the 1927 Yankee drive. He
looks for the combination of Gehrig,
LaZzeri and Koenig. along with the
veteran third sacker Dugan. to
smooth out the kinks and show big
improvement. Koenig was an uncer-

E,veryhod wore whiskers back in
1850 The men wore them, the boys
wore them az soon IA they could raise
them; even ball players wore them.
Photographs Of ball players made in
those days. still treasured in base ball
libraries, are weird and wonderful TO
behold. But the appearance of the
early players was no more weird and
wonderful than the game itself.
For instance in the old days it was
necessary for a team to get 81 runs
to win. The number of innings played
did not matter. The first team that
scored 81 runs was declared the win
ner.
Father hoated around the bases
with his whiskers breeding behind
him, and occasionally he made the
circuit two or three times in the same
inning. II by then his team was not
put out he continued to float around
the bases until IL was out. Sometimes
an inning lasted an hour.
No UncompIeted Innings.
There were no uncompIeted innings
in those days for the winning team.
either. If the side was not out by the
time II runs had been scored the boys
kept on piling up the score until they
finally we're put out. The greater the
score the greater the victory.
Base ball had grown to be quite a
stripping before the rule was adopted
that team first at bat when licked,
was licked. and the game need go no
further. When that rule was put into
effect in the professional leagues
and II was not until the time of pro-
fessional base ball that it was adopted
the crowd would leave the grounds
denounefng the management because
the game had not been played to q
finish, even ii the home team had
licked its rivals. The spectators
thought they were entitled TO COM
plete 1hree men out or nothing, and 1t
was a year or two before they got
over their crouch.
Returning to this matter of whisk.
ers and u runs, there was a very
remarkable game played in New York
City in 1854 at the corner of 106th
street and Second avenue

Successful Demonstration

The last Baird television demon
stration is reported to have been con-
Quoted successfully by wire between
London and Glasgow, distance of
more than 400 miles. The London
speaker into the telephone is said to
have seen distinctly the features of
the Glasgow listener and to have been
able to observe every witch and
movement of the latter's face.
Mr. Baird is quoted as saying that
the adaptation of this transmission to
radio is a simple matter. and that it
is only question of increased power
to permit the transmission of vision
thousands of miles.
Ten mile transmission of moving
pictures has been tried out repeatedly
with success between Baird's home
and his laboratory in London. It is
reported that his company will erect
many stations and hopes particularly
to commercialize the transmission of
pictures across the Atlantic.

Ans.-After a long period of use
the condenser will have collected
enough dust on its plates to start
making noises in the set. It is better
to keep variable condensers in a dust

EROMBERG
Fromberg Breaks 3-3 Tie to
Win in Tenth From Red Lodge

After Red Lodge had gone ahead in
their half of the tenth inning, From
berg showed over two runs in their
half to win the game at Fromberg
Sunday afternoon by five to four
score. The game was a thriller from
start to finish, but errors had given
Red Lodge three runs while From
berg VS. BANKED until they came to
bat in the sixth. Jenkins retired and
Koski took up the pitching burden
for Red Lodge and before the side
was out, three Fromberg men had
crossed the plate on doubles by Swal-
low and Yedlicka, single by Lennon
and two errors on the part of Red
Lodge.
The score remained at three all un-
til the first of the tenth when koski
made first on an error by Goldsmith
who threw wide on an easy putout,
but he was forced at second by Rainey
who stole second and scored when Pei
tala hit scorcher to left field. Toffer
then struck out, ending Red Lodges
chance to score again. In the last half
of the tenth Haworth was out ON fly
to short and Bailey's high fly was
taken care of by Rainey. Walker, after
having two strikes called on him, came
through with a long double and as he
stole third a controversy arose as to
the question of his safety, but the
umpire called him safe and he crossed
the plate with the tying run, when
Lennon hit a hot one to Toffer who
let it 60 through and Lennon was
safe at first. Goldsmith seemed dam
gerous, so he was walked to get Swal-
low but this proved poor judgment,
for after having two strikes called
on him he hit hot one over second
and Lennon came home with the win
ming run amidst a widely cheering
crowd.
Goldsmith, for Fromberg, struck
out IA men, duplicating his feat of
last Sunday, but allowed only five
hits, hit one man and walked one.
Jenkins, in five innings, struck out
five men, walked two, hit one and al
lowed two hits. Koski struck out four
men, walked one and allowed five
hits. Fromberg made three errors
while Red Lodge erred five times
Fromberg made four earned runs; Red

LEGISLATIVE CREST
(Juneau Empire)

Almost without debate, the House defeated the Juneau-Prince Rupert shipping subsidy measure by a vote of 10 to 6. Worth, author of the bill, argued it was designed to relieve towns in the northern end of the di- vision from conditions which were hampering the development of the fresh fish industry.
 Murray warned the House that pass age of the measure would lead inevit- able to overturning every other sub- sidy which the Territory grants. All of them, he declared, are unconstitu- tional. The passage of the bill, he predicted, would result in some tax payer bringing suit to set it aside and it would naturally follow that every other subsidy of like nature would fail.
 Telegrams from the Alaska Steam ship company and H. c. Strong of Ketchikan, were read by Lomen in which assurances of adequate service through a combination of schedules, rate adjustments if necessary, and CO., operation to the end that fresh fish shipments from towns in this end of the division might be handled expedi- tiously via Ketchikan, were given.
 Voting for the measure were: Fer
