> The impending invasion of
the clubs in the Western sector
of the American League is i'm
portant to the Washington
team which has so far made
mince-meat out of its three East
ern rivals and is Steadied to do
the same thing with the lads
from beyond the Alleghenys.
st. Louis is here today to
give us the first taste Of wild
and woolly baseball and should
be about ready to start in to
win some ball games, what with
having lost its last four starts
after having compiled winning
streak of five straight.
1t may be, fellow fans, that
before Col. Phil dec. Balls team
leaves Washington a trade or a
purchase may take place be-
tween the Browns and the
Griffmen. Last winter a Cos
lin-Schulte barter was on the
fire, but somebody poured water
on the Goals and the thing died
out.
While it is doubtful that
Clark Griffith would part with
Goslin, because he is expected
to do some tall hitting before
the 1880 season is over, yet it
is thought in baseball circles
that either Heinie Manush or
George Blaeholder could be had
from the Browns if anything like
a fair player or money offer is
made.
Blaeholder right now is a hold
out, having failed TO report to
Bill Killefer's outfit within 10
days after the opening of the
season. Salary is the cause of
Blaeholder's aloofneSS. Ball hav-
ing offered him a straight fig
ure of $4,000 with an additional
grand in case he has a good sea-
son. George believes he is worth
$500 if he is worth a dime and
is quite adamant, indeed, to say
nothing of shy, about signing
for anything less than that.
It's a cinch that if Blaeholder
comes to Washington. he will
have to play for a bonus. as that
is the golden rule here in Wash
ington now, but he may be able
to get better than a straight
$1,000 offer here. A twirler who
can make any kind Of a show
ing at all in the American
League ought to have a chance
at earning for himself nearer
$500 than Ball has evidently
offered his big Highlander.
Last season Blaeholder won
IA and lost Is games, fielded for
$50 and batted .121.

the champion optimist among
the Washington baseball fans.
If he isn't by any chance the
king of the optimists, then
he'll do until somebody comes
along to dethrone him.
He is Raymond Dickey, jr.,
son of the local barriSter, who
accompanies his father to many
of the local games, armed with
a fielder'S glove, and prepared
to catch any balls fouled into
the stand. We have suggested
to him the only other thing he
needs to head the preparedness
list is a set of sun glasses.
George Voigt, former Wash
ington golfer now attached to
the North Hills Club, New
York, has the distinction of
having reached his present golf
ing pinnacle without ever hav-
ing taken a lesson.
Now on the high seas as a
member Of the Walker Cup
team, George has what is con-
sidered an unorthodox style, a
flat sort Of swing all his own.
One of Voigt'S chief charms,
and probably this has some
thing to do with his splendid
golf game, is his unruffled dis
position. He agrees with ev-

His greatest golf lesson, he
admits. was the time he played
with Horton Smith and Bill
Mehlhorn in the last two
rounds of the North and South
Open at PinehurSt in 1929.
Voigt was leading Mehlhorn
by four strokes and Horton by
five as they started. The pros
put the pressure on and in
short order had Voigt, whose
game is not long, pressing
nightly to keep up with them.
He did not even come close to
winning. Although Voigt was
prominent in amateur golf in
1927 and 1928, he was not
selected for the Walker. Cup
team that played at Chicago.
He was semifinalist in the

The winning uphill struggle OF
Miller B. STEVENSON against Harry
G. Pitt in the second round OF
match play in the annual Wash
ington Golf and Country Club
invitation tourney is today the
chief topic over at the Virginia
Club.
STEVENSON defeated Pitt, one UP
at the twentieth, after dropping
four of the first five holes. II
took real courage on the part
of STEVENSON to whittle that wide
margin. Not many golfers, under
that handicap, can catch Pitt
with but Is holes left.
The District champ squared
the match on the eighteenth
when Pitt hooked into the
trees and had to play an
"out" left-handed, driving the
ball into the rough on the
sixteenth.

CONSERVATION OF WHALES
 INTERNATIONAL SUBJECT

wASHINGTON-Because of the possibility of complete extermina- tion of whales through increasing slaughter, conservation of the larg- cts mammals has become the sub ject of international effort.
 Dr. Remington Kellogg, Smith, sonian Institution mammalist, left recently for Berlin to attend the international conference for whale conservation which conyenes in that city today. He said he expected that the findings of this gathering will be embodied in recommenda- tions seeking uniform legislation among other nations to keep the killing of whales below the danger line
 Kellogg will attend in a personal capacity rather than as govern ment delegate. About 30,OO0 whales were killed last year and he esti- mates that 5OO,OOO have been killed since 1900.

ELECTION HELD ON RIGHT DAY

There was considerable discussion on Tuesday as to whether the city election was being held on the right date. Many contended that the election should be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday In April.
 Ordinance No. IS of the Town of WrangelI provides that the annual election shall be held on the first Tuesday in April. This ordinance is in conformity with the Territo- rial statutes. Section 8, Chapter 97 of the Session Laws of Alaska, 1923, reads as follows:
 "An annual election shall be held each and every year on the first Tuesday of April in every city in the Territory for the election ot members of the Council, unless the time for such election be changed by the Council as hereinafter pro- vided. The members of the Coun- cil chosen at the first election shall hold their office until the next an- nual election and until their sue cessors are elected and qualified, and the members of the Council chosen at subsequent elections shall hold their office for a term of one year. unless their term of office be increased to two years as herein after provided in Section Il of this Act. and until their respective 'uc- cessors are elected and qualified.

THE ELECTION

The municipal election Tuesday resulted in the election of the fol- lowing officers:
 Mayor-G. E. Diemart.
 Couneilmen-Louis Olsen, Arnt Sorset, F. c. Hanford.
 School Board-Mrs. James H. Wheeler.
 The number of votes received by the various candidates were as fol- lows: c. B. Diemart 194; F. G. Hanford 154; Ole Johnson S6; L. A Olsen 196; F. T. Richfield 45; Arnt Sorset 160; Walter Waters 96; B. Y. Grant 115; Mrs. James Wheeler 1S5.
 Mayor G. E. Diemart was elected mayor for the fourth time. At the past two elections he has been un- opposed on the ticket. His support varies and fluctuates with the changing years. When he ran for councilman he led the ticket When he runs for mayor he sometimes polls a very modest vote. In 1927 he was first nominated for mayor by Capt. K. J. Johansen; in 1928 he was nominated by Ole Johnson; in 1929 he was nominated by Capt. K. J. Johansen; in 1880 he was nominated by A. B. Gurr.
 Louis Olsen and F. G. Hanford are new men on the Council. AL though MT. Olsen has resided in Wrangell for 30 years. this is his first adventure into municipal re- responsibilities. He was nominated by S. Cunningham. MT. Hanford owes his nomination to Al Cramer.
 Arnt Sorset who was reelected has been on the Council so long that he probably doesn't remember when he was first elected. This year he was nominated by F. G. Hanford.
 Mrs. Wheeler who was reelected to the thankless task of serving on the school board, has spent years In that capacity. She was nominated for the office this year by B. A. Lindman.
 More interest was manifested in the election this year than usual. The weather was very disagreeable and yet 40 per cent more votes were boiled this year than last. The total number of votes boiled Tues day was 262.

FOUND DYING FROM
 NEGLECT AND STARVATION

Sick and dying of starvation was the condition in which Andrew So- uerstrom was found at Crittenden creek Sunday by Wayne Ball and Nell Grant. The two men were spending the afternoon cruising with their families in Mir. Balls boat. On going ashore at Critten- den creek they found MT. Soder- strom in an old cabin confined to his bunk too weak to provide him self with food or drink. He talked faintly and rather incoherently, but as nearly as could be understood, he said he had been i'll about six weeks and had not been able to get out of his bunk for three weeks.
 Ball and Grant brought their families back to town and then lost no time in going back to Crittenden creek to bring the ola fellow into town as they did not think he could live through the night. On arrival at Wrangell the patient was taken to the Wrangell General Hospital on stretcher. Examination found that he was in a dying condition. However, he lasted until the follow ing morning.
 He was buried on Tuesday. The expense of the burial was paid from the Territorial fund disbursed from the Governors office.
 Very little is known of the unfor- tunate man. For the past two or three years he has lived as a reeluse on Crittenden creek and is reported to have suffered from hallucina- tions of various kinds. He is sup posed to have been about 50 years of age.
