Miller Higgins, not given to talking
was quoted the other day as saying
his New York team was certain to re-
peat next season unless an unforeseen
and unexpected run of injuries should
rob it of its strength.
He went even further and said the
Yanks ought to stay out in front for
two more years before, the opposition
got really dangerous.
Analyzing the cold facts, it must be
admitted that on the surface Miller
Higgins didn't appear as if he exag-
pgerated the possibilities of the New
York club
True, his pitching staff isn't getting
any younger and Babe Ruth cannot be
expected to go on. forever hitting home
, runs, just when they are needed yet
the YankS boast not only great Of
fense, but a mighty good defense.
1t is "a patent fact that the very
excellent defense which the New
York club presents, is lost sight of
almost entirely because of the
teams devastating Offense.
KOENIG MUCH IMPROVED
| No club can be classed as a great
aggregation unless it has smooth
working combination at short and Sec
Iaond.
In 1926, New York had spectacular
pair at those two positions in Lazzeri
and Koenig but lacked smoothneSs,
since Koenig had his erratic moments
Several of them proved rather costly
in the 1926 series.
Last season Koenig was different
ball player. A years experience had
given him poise, erased the tendency
to be nervous and polished off what
few rough spots he had, so there were
few better shortStops in either league.
That is one big reason why New
York is going to be in the running
for several years. It has three young
infielders in Lazzeri, Koenig and Geh-
rig, who are certain to continue to
improve for several years. The first
two named form an ideal keystone
combination.
Ine Yankee infieId can make
{ double plays with the best of them
and it's twO-ply killings that cut
off runs and save ball games.
*J&
CLASS OF VETERANS
The veteran members of the pitch
ing staff, such as Herb Pennock, Urban
Shocker, Waite Hoyt and Bob Shaw
key, aren't going to get any better and
few of them may slip trifle, but
there is still plenty of good pitching
left in the older members of. the Yam
kee hurting staff.
But, while the veterans are slipping,
Higgins comes to the front with
George PipgraS, who pitched a beauti
full game in the second contest of the
world series. He should be big win
rer next season.
There is every reason to believe that
Wiley Moore, old in years but young
in the big leagues, should continue to
be effective with his very deceptive
Sinker
The outfield is all that could be de-
sired Earl Combs, in center, is one
of the greatest players in the big show.
On team with such outstanding stars
as Ruth, Pennock, Gehrig and others,
Combs hasn't received anything like
the recognition he deserves.
Yes, sir! Careful analysis of the
facts makes. it seem Manager Mil
Ter Higgins did no idle bOasting
when he said the YankS look like
champions for a couple of years
more.

 NECTlON WILD LIFE

Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, of New York City, president of the National Association of Audubron Societies, and a member of the Camp Fire Club of America, and of the Boone and Crockett Club, is a distinguished vis- itor in Seward today. Dr. Pearson is making a tour of Alaska and has just come from an enjoyable visit the Mckinley National Park.
 The nature of the splendid activi- ties of the organizations of which Dr. Pearson represents, in connection with the protection of the wild life in America, is fairly familiar to the majority of Alaskans. He is making a study of Alaskan conditions with reference to his choosen work and is anxious to meet with representative Alaskans to discuss with them on these matters.
 William L. Finley, who two years ago spent an entire summer to the Westward studying wild bird and animal life and who is greatly in de- mand as a lecturer on these subjects, has been a member of Dr. Pearson's staff for several years. During Dr. Pearson's stay in the city-he leaves tomorrow for the South on the s. s. Alaska-he is guest at the Van Glider hotel.

It is customary to consider religious institutions value to community in spiritual terms but glance at the purely material side of the Methodist Episcopal church of Seward reveals condition of which Seward should be proud were there other valuable computa tiOns.
 The Methodist church came to Seward p years ago. Its mission was not to build up strong denomnationa church. but to the community moral and spirit ual institution This is indicated by the sign which lately appeared on the church buildng-Seward Commit nifty Church.

Radio Opens New Field

The newest great industry-radio manufacture - has found no syn thetic to dress it up. Radio cabinets and shipping boxes demand hard and soft lumber in enormous quan- titles. Had it not been forthcoming the radio industry would have limped into glory instead of carry ing it by assault. Radio has opened such a market for lumber that there have been times within the last two years when the lumber used in ra- dio cabinets in certain territories was more than went into house building.
 So protean is the suitability of wood for human uses that despite all the synthetic materials the va riety of it's uses is increasing. Ten years ago but 2,000 uses of wood could be enumerated: a census now in progress has discovered 4.50o.
 The prophets and advocates of a synthetic or non-plumber future, house and tool, wall and furniture, talk vaguely of economy. Are all of these new plastics or resinoids that We hear so much talk about to be manufactured without cost and transported and applied without la bor? Can they compete with wood in final cost? Can the factory make them, for all purposes, as cheaply as 470 million acres of land, most of which cannot now, and probably not for long time, be used better than in the growing of trees? Can costly electric power, controlled chemistry and the deteriorating ma chine compete with the eternal chemistry of the free sun and the perpetual miracle of the tireless green leaf

Lumber for Steel Ships

Steel ships have largely replaced wooden ships. but it takes lumber to make them livable and the sur faces of the decks are made of wood
 The wooden masts have gone but the great booms and spars of the loading gear are mostly wood, and, still most of the worlds piers and WharYes are wholly wood, or rest on wood piling.
 Wood is both light and strong, tough. resilient and elastic. It can be worked and fabricated with small tools, easily portable and used on the job. It can be shaped by lathes and pressed into manifold forms with startling rapidity. Weight for weight it is as strong as steel and much stronger than cast iron. It burns, but heat does not distort it, and it is rustless.
 Wood is a natural heat, sound, and electricity insulator, which is doubtless one of the reasons of the instinctive liking of the American people for as much wood as possible in their dwellings. The well built frame house is a conseryer of heat and a reducer of fuel bills. It is the architects delight because lumber is so adaptable, so varied in form and it's structures so alterab ble; and so suited to color schemes, because it takes easily to paint.
 Wooden walls do not hold moist ure and make tombs of houses for living men. The best insulators to make up for the absence of wood in masonry houses are themselves manufactured from wood fiber.

There is no place in the United

tinual demand, not only for homes,
but for investment, Is certainty
and the investor or home builder
need have any fear of his holdings

Great strides have been made in

from all sections are coming. into
the county with the firm intention
of remaining there permanently,
realizing that in a few years their

not depend entirely on its present
inhabitants. its future depends for
