MORRIS HIGH
 GUN SUNDAY.
 BUT PAYS BET

High gun among eleven fans Morris yesterday copped the honors of the day at the regular Sunday shoot of the Juneau Gun Club. His score was 24 out of the possible 25 with the next runners up, Benja- min and Truesdell, breaking g each of the string of clay birds. On top of being high gun, Morris furnished other excitement for the onlookers when he paid his wager to Brown.
 The wager is a weekly event. Morris pays if he does not break 24 first time up and again pays if he does not break 25 during the days shoot Sunday he lost the latter and won the first.
 Shooting in the wake of Morris, Benjamin and Truesdell, were the following guns and scores: Sarr 22, Tarwater g, Waterude 21, Laurie 20, Rice 19, Morrison 1s Heyder 12 and Miss Robbins II.

AVALON, Catalina Islands, March 25.-Out here in this semi-tropical country, Joe McCarty is polishing up his big -sunoh for what prom ises to be the Chicago Cubs year ill the National League.
 With Rogers Hornsby, one Of the games biggest batting threats, as key man, Mccarthy is building with the confident hope that he will have batting attack strong enough to break through any and all kinds of fancy pitching.
 He has good reason for his hopes, for Hornsbv. Wilson, Stephenson and Cuyler wound up the 1928 sea- son with combined batting aver age of 1924.
 This quartet pounded out 246 ex- tra base hits including TT home runs, 123 two-baggers and 34 three baggers.
 These four men probable will be the Cubs biggest threat, but on the basis of 1928 averages that Bruin batting lineup will be packed full of punch.
 English, Hartnett and Grimm, all regulars, batted around the 300 mark last year and should do bet ter this year if for no other rea- son than that they will benefit by the weakening effect the four head line sluggers will have on opposing sluggers.
 Having a sure .375 hitter like Hornsby on a club is plenty bad for the enemy but when there also are clubbers like Riggs Stephenson, who hit .324 in 1928 and Hack Wilson, who batted .313 and pounded out 31 home runs, something is bound to give.
 Here are the cold figures on the 1928 showing of the Cubs big

passed a resolution fixing the num- Der of members on the committee at 12, five Senators and seven Rep resentatives. This, the House said ill effect, was disproportionate. It thereupon proceeded to change this provision to three Senators and six Representatives, which it was pointed out is proportionate to the respective numerical strength of the two branches.
 The Benjamin resolution direct ing the Territorial Road Commis- sion to expend $20,0O0 of First Di- vision road money to build a one mile road between the Indian vil- lages at Yakutat, was also amend ed by the House. The Commit tee on Roads and Highways report ed substitute directing the Com mission to investigate the needs of Yakutat for such road and treat the matter on the same basis as similarly situated communities in the Division.
 Two Bills Introduced
 MT. Murray introduced bill ap- propriating $6,0Oo to buy 12,OOO copies of the Alaska Year Book published by the Cordova Times this year, and a similar number for next year. This expenditure is sought under the head of advertis- ing Alaskan resources.
 MT Burgh introduced a measure carrying an appropriation of 17,200 for the Seward Peninsula ship sub- sidy A similar item has been passed by several preceding Legis- latures. It covers a line from Nome to St. Michael and another from Nome to Kotzebue.

 Neglected for years, divided in ownership and unmarked except by a cross and stately palms that the mission padres planted, Presidio Hill was purchased piecemeal by George w. Marston, pioneer mer- chant, who has announced his in, tention of deeding it to the city. A museum, in which documents and other historical mementoes of the ealy days of California will be as- sembled, is to be built on the brow of the hill and the historic area will be laid out in shrubbery and pathways.

BOXING BOARD
 BILL. REPORTED WITH CHANGES
House Committee Would Have Governor Appoint
 Alaska Boxing Board

A substitute radically altering the provisions of the Alaska Boxing Commission measure, introduced early in the session by MT. ziegler, was reported today in the House by the Committee on Education, Pub lie Health and Morals, MT. Winn, chairman. It probably will remain on the calendar without action, bending the return of MT. Ziegler.
 The new measure empowers the Governor to appoint a Commission of three men to be known as the Territorial Boxing Commission. The first members will be appointed for one, two and three year terms and thereafter for three-year terms, as their tenure expires. One of the members is to be designated by the Governor to act as Secretary and receive not more than $25 per month for his services.
 The other provisions of the sub stitute give the Commission power to promulgate rules and regulations covering boxing matches, and to issue and deny permits to hold such matches at it's discretion. It can appoint representatives in any community to act for the Commis- sion. A commission of five per cent on all gate receipts is fixed as a fee for the board.
