 'UMP'S' VERDICT
 PROPERLY MADE

NEW YORK, May 13.-President John Heydler of the National League, has announced he had dis allowed the protest filed by the St. Louis Cardinals on the game the Chicago Cubs won at Chicago April 19 by score of { to l. The Cardinals had asked that the game be replayed.

 TALK THURSDAY
Special Meeting of Parent Teachers to Be Held
 In Grade School

At a special meeting of the Ju- neau Parent Teacher Association tomorrow evening in the auditorium Of the grade school, Elmer Reed pioneer of the Territory, will de- liver his illustrated lecture on Alas ka. He was to have spoken and to have shown his pictures at the last regular gathering of the asso- citation, but other numbers on the program then proved longer than had been expected, making impos- sible a proper presentation of his subject.
 Delay Proves Beneficial
 The delay has permitted MT. Reed to go over his numerous pho- tographic slides and he has chos- en only the best of widely distrib- uted scenes in past and present times for presentation tomorrow evening.
 MT. Reed has been in the front ranks of stampeders to most of Alaska's gold camps and also he has ventured into many remote un- inhabitable parts of the Territory. His pictures depict scenes and ac- tivities all over the Northland and extend throughout period that had it's beginning toward the clo5e of the last century.
 Entertaining and Instructive
 His accompanying lecture is both entertaining and instructive.
 MT. Reed has frequently deliv- cred his Illustrated address in both the States and Alaska for paid admissions, but there will be no charge at the tomorrow's meeting
 The program is the fourth in series entitued Know Alaska Bet ter" sponsored by the Parent Teacher Association.
 The public is cordially invited to be present.

champion Philadelphia Athletics in
the 1881 American League cam
paign.
The senator's, with the same team
that finished but eight games be-
hind the Athletics last season, GER
tainly appears to be tho only outfit
with more than an outside chance
to foil the AS hopes IF winning a
third successive league champion
ship. The Senators have the best
rounded pitching staff in the league
plenty of punch at the bat, and a
strong defense. Given their share
of the breaks they may bring tho
national capital its first world series
since 1925.
The Athletics, just as in 1929 and
1880, will depend upon the "big
f1ve"-Grove, EarnShaw, Simmons
Foxx and Cochrane. These five
men, all in their prime and all
per-players, still have the defen-
sive and offensive strength to bring
the AS home in front. Therefore
the Philadelphians must be accord
ed top ranking with the other
clubs named to finish in the fol-
lowing order:
Washington, New york, Cleveland,
Detroit, Chicago, st. Louis and Bos-
ton.
Philadelphia is named to repeat
but must have the all-season serv-
ices of each of the big five" to
accomplish the task.
New York, under the hustling
driving, magnetic Joe Mccarthy, is
the mystery" team of the league
Given better pitching the slugging
Yankees might batter their way past
both the Senators and Athletics
At present, however, the mound
staff is a trif1e wobbly and little
hope is held for its transformance
into the equal of the AS and Sen
atorS' pitching corps.
Cleveland is named for the re-
naming first division berth, but
may have to yield to a vastly i'm
proved Detroit outfit. The Tigers
lack a punch but are blessed with
large number of high-grade
pitchers.

The loss of spring exhibition
games seldom means much. The
results of these practice games are
not true indicators of the strength
of team. The New York Yankees,
even when they dominated the base
ball world as no club has before or
since, back in 1927 and 1928, al
ways lost majority of their games
in the spring.
Another great ball club which is
having trouble in its spring exhibit
ton games is the world champion
Philadelphia Athletics.
Veteran ball players seldom bear
down in the spring. The risk of in
jury is one of the many reasons for
the lazy attitude of established
stars. They don't start leveling
until the games start counting and
their pay checks come rolling in.
Hack Wilson, Woody English and
Pat Malone are the three members
of the Cubs who have been most
disappointing in spring training.
Wilson is batting only 1902, English
but .233, and Malone has lost two
out of three games.
One of the brightest spots in the
Cubs dismal spring showing is the
work of Lester Bell, who seems to
have recovered from his arm all
ment of last year. He is leading the
Cubs regulars in batting with an
average of .452. Hornsby is just be-
hind him with .428, followed by XXI
