member of the inner circle in the last campaign.
 Now, it is not customary for po- litical friendships to break up in the open atmosphere of a press conference.
 If MT. Roosevelt was displeased with Messrs. Jackson and Mullen for having Washington law offices, why didn't he call in his two old friends and intimate to them that they were embarrassing him? Ordi- narily, such a warning from the White House would have been eff fective.

Washington wants to know. Is it MT Roosevelt's real idea that party officials should have no di- rect association at all with the government?
 And if MT. Walker got out on that theory, what about James A. Farley, who is Democratic National Chairman and also Postmaster General?

NOT A GENERALITY

Consider the circumstances.
 What the President said to the newspapermen was that he didn't consider it in keeping with the spirit of the Administration 'that men in high party office should use their influence in Washington to earn a livelihood.
 He declined to expand on that, but it scarcely was necessary. The purpose of most such arrangements is to handle. cases arising before the Government Dep a Tt m S, where clients assume that political influence counts for a lot.

MRS. ALEXANDER
 TO OPEN STUDIO. FOR TEACHING.
Voice Culture, Coaching and English Dictlon Are
 Specialties of Musician

On March first, Mrs. George F. Alexander will open a vocal studio where she will specialize in the teaching of vocal culture, coaching and English diction.
 For many years, Mrs. Alexander, known professionally as Mrs. Lola Mae Alexander, has had high position in the musical circles of Portland, Oregon, where she was head of the voice department of the Portland College of Music for the four years previous to coming to Alaska.
 ist-InstructOr
 Known boht as a vocalist or rare attainments and as an instructor of note, Mrs. Alexander held an en- viable place in the musical world of the Oregon city. Among her many pupils were such well known singers as Kathryn Williams, Mary Brassfield and Geraldine Williams, who sing over the radio and known to the musical public of Portland as the Darling Trio. Miss Brass field, mezzo soprano, is the win ner of the state voice contest held in all public schools throughout Oregon.
 Before going to Portland, in 1912, Mrs. Alexander pursued her musi- cal studies and also taught in Missouri and in New York City She has many former students singing professionally in the mid de west.
 Thoroughly Experienced
 Thoroughly accomplished a n d experienced in teaching methods, Mrs. Alexander possesses warm mezzo soprano voice of rare quail ity, which has already endeared her to Juneau residents who have heard her sing. Before coming north she held such positions as soprano soloist in Rose City Park Methodist church, First Christian Church and White Temple. She organized the first quartet in the First Christian Church, was di- rector of the Daughters of the Nile chorus, belonged to the Monday Musical Club and Mcdowell chorus, in addition to many other musical organizations.
 It is at the insistence of many who wish to study with her that Mrs. Alexander has decided to open a studio here. She has taken a suite on the fifth floor of the Goldstein building and will be- gin teaching on the first of March.
 Mrs. Alexander will leave on the Victoria tomorrow for Ketchikan, where she will be for severa al weeks during the beginning of the term of court, which her husband, Judge Alexander, is to conduct there, and will return to Juneau the latter part of February to open her studio.

HURLEY LOOKS FOR ONE MORE
 MAN 10 PILOT
Gym Operator Back to Sticks Following Pet
 rolle's Retirement

DULUTH, Minn., March 19-Jack Hurley, who piloted Billy Petrolle into a $200,00O bankroll in 10 years of boxing, is back in the sticks looking and praylng-for another Fargo Express"
 And he isn't optimistic over the chances of discovering a boxer who will go places as Uncle Will" did.
 Hurley, who operates gymna- sium here, says he hasn't seen anyone who looks like he might be another Petrolle," adding, they threw away the mould when they made Uncle Willie"
 His management of Petrolle closed with the latter's retirement following his recent defeat by Bar ney Ross.
 Retzlaff Out Of Boxing
 At his gym here, Hurley has a score of young bokers, all hoping they can make sufficient impress sion on Petrolle's former pilot to give him a personal interest in their careers.
 They have heard the story Of how Hurley, then just out of his teens, took Petrolle from a farm near Fargo and sent him into the big time.
 A few years ago Hurley had young North Dakota farmer, Char lie Retzlaff, who looked promising, but he's been on the inactive list for several months.
 Retzlaff, Hurley says, isn't So anxious to fight = never cared much about the fistic game-and fought only long enough to get sufficient funds to buy farm.
 Nov he has the farm" Hurley means, "so what?"
 Likes Young Heavyweight
 Hurley's name has been men tioned as a possible boxing d1- rector at Madison Square Garden, but his immediate goal is to find another boxer of Petrolle'S type, though not necessarily a light weight.
 He has a liking for Johnny Erjavec, a youngster wo will be heavyweight in a year or two. Erjavec has been fighting for about five years, earning his way through school by appearing on local cards.
 Petrolle occasionally leaves his cigar store to help Hurley at the gym, teaching young hopefuls some of the tricks. Between them, they hope to uncover scrapper des- tined for some of the Petrolle suc- cess.

DRESSEN SEES N0-PASS RULE
 HITTING SCORES

HOUSTON, Tex, March 19-The Southern associations new rule to curb the intentional pass may prove an aid to the box offices but Charlie Dressen, former major league infielder, now managing the Nashville club, is far from sold on it.
 Dressen believes baseball fans like to see a close, low-score game as well as or better than slug ging bee, and he fears the new rule will materially reduce the 70 and 2-1 contests.
 Take for instance, a game in Nashville, where there is a short right field fence" Dressen says, "'the visitors get runners on first and third with good left-handed hitter up who has the range Of that fence. In close game our hurler would have to pitch to him to prevent a score. The slugger probably will knock one out of the park and the ball game will be over"
 Dresser had plenty of time to think about the radical change during the approximately two months that he was ill of typhoid fever in a hospital here.
 Under the rule, after two men

the team. Casey may encounter similar trouble, unless he gets better cooperation from the board of directors representing perhaps the most quarrelsome ownership in the big league family.
 Stengel's background is in his fa- vor. He was on the lst two Dodg- CT pennant winners in 1916 and 1920 He played on three cham pionship teams with the Giants. After three games of the 1923 world series the score in effect was "Stengel 2; Yankees l." Cas- eys home run had decided two games. He later won a pennant with the Toledo club of the Amer ican Association despite the fact the team was in financial straits most of the season and there were times, Casey recalled, when I was managing three teams-one going, one on the field and an- other coming"

0LDTIMERS IN CONGRESS ARE
 STILL ON JOB
Despite Changes by New Deal, Veterans Shine
 More or Less

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Con- gressional personnel has changed substantially in recent years and the unprecedented activities of the new deal' have held large share of the national spotlight but many of the old-time political luminaries still shine more or less brightly on Capitol Hill.
 Thirteen members of the Senate enjoy the distinction of having served continuously since before the World War, and several of them are still headliners in the swift march of national political developments.
 Pou Hilds Record
 Thirty-six members of the House have been in that body continu- ously since prewar days, and one of them, Edward w. Pou of North Carolina, is the service dean of all Capitol Hill Mckinley was Presi- dent Of the United States when Pou on March 4, 1901, started the first of IT consecutive terms in Congress.
 Dean of the Senate is the "lion of Idaho" William E. Borah, who on March 4 next will have served 27 consecutive and highly event. ful years in that branch of the national legislature. Jointly hold ing second honors for length of service are Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida, chairman of the banking committee, and Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina, head of the agriculture committee They have been in the Senate for a quarter of a century.
 Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona, chairman of the judiciary commit tee, is rounding out his 23rd year, while Key Pittman of Nevada, Morris Sheppard of Texas, George w. Norris of Nebraska and Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas have served 21 years.
 Johnson Has Long Record
 Hiram w. Johnson, who refused Republican vice presidential nomination which would have made him Harding's successor in the White House, came to the Senate 21 days before the United States entered the World War. Twelve days before Johnson be- came a senator, Frederick Hale of Maine, William King of Utah, Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee and Park Trammell of Florida were sworn into office.
 Of this "corporaPs guard" of thirteen prewar senators, nine are Democrats; three, Borah, Norris and Johnson, are members of the group designated as ''independent"

NEW TIP HEARD
 ON BASKETBALL
Intent, Severity Should Govern in Cage Penal
 ties, Coach Says

MINNEAPOLIS, Masch 19. = Basketball coaches who let out per- iodic yips about the rules being too this or too that are no rarity but Coach Dave MacMillan of the University of Minnesota has a new angle or two in his observa- ton about the hardwood code.
 T believe all personal fouls should be called" he says, but I contend there should be a new system of summing them up-in- volving a new disqualification pro- vision and increasing the foul limit from four to five"
 MacMillan favors making 1t not only possible, but customary, to disqualify a player who intention ally slaps down an opponent who is heading for set-up basket shot, even if that is his only of fense.
 An official should be allowed to decide in his own mind wheth- CT foul has been deliberate and unsportsmanlike, or accidental, and penalize in accordance with the in- tent and severity" he says, but the rules don't allow him to adju- dicate on this basis.
 "In a game we had with Wis consin, both George Svendsen of our team and Rolph Poser of the Badgers were elected for four per- sonal fouls, yet I defy anyone to show me that either of them did anything deliberate, or dirty"
 MacMilan agrees with many of the coaches that officials could show greater leniency on steps and other technicalities and win the cheers of the fans for the fewer interruptions of play.

A FAvORITE STENCIL YARD

One of the Stengel yarns I like best is the run-in he had one time with Bill Klem. Casey had kicked on a third called strike and Klem, very much on his dignity that afternoon, remarked, You're out and unless you get away from here right away, I'll put you out of the game"
 This abruptness caught Stengel trifle off guard. He had no im- mediate comeback but he was not to be outwitted altogether. The next time he went to the plate he used some pretext to renew the argument with Klem, who shot back: q told you to keep quiet One word more and you're through for the afternoon Whereup MT Stengel bowed, looked apologetic and took off his cap from under which a sparrow flew out!

BERLIN. March 19.-Dr. Pat rick O'Callaghan, Irish Olympic hammer champion, may return to America-as a professional.
 Reports are current here that the champion has been offered f6O00 yearly, ($29,l60 at par) to drop his amateur standing.
 O'Callaghan has declined to com ment on the matter. His striking athletic build and breezy manner, it is pointed out, would make him a good drawing card for exhibi- tions in the United States.

are out, all runners advance on an intentional base on balls or hit batsman even if there is a base open. In some instances runners advance two bases. The pass or hit batsman is presumed to be intentional unless the pitcher throws one strike.
 Dressen also fears the rule will increase the tendency of batters to step in front of a pitched ball. If the batsman fools the umpire and makes it appear he could not dodge the throw, the action would result in a score for his team.

Speaker Rainey Preparing Report Made Up from

 One man will be named twelve times.

3A ALAN GOULD ]

The reason Charles (Casey) Stengel is likely to make some pro- gress with the Brooklyn baseball club is that he has real sense of humor. Without it, a less courageous man would have balk- ed at the idea of taking charge of as notable a collection of mis- fits as there is in the major leagues, not even accepting the Cincinnati Reds.
 His sense of humor may han dicap as well as help him, how ever" remarked Memphis Bill Ter ry, the big boss of the Giants, when I discussed Stegel's appoint ment at the Miami Beach camp of the world champions. Don't forget that most of the fellows on the Dodger club have been kidding and joshing with Casey while he was just coach. That kind of stuff was alright, of course, so long as Casey didn't have to say the final word about what they would or would not do.
 Now that Stengel is in full charge, he won't be able to sit down and laugh everything off or relieve the situation by telling some funny stories I don't mean that he will have to take his job too seriously, but have found out that it means lot of planning and worrying that I didn't antici- pate. And if you think it's tough handling bunch of world cham pions, what do you think Casey will find things like?"

MUST RESTORE HARMONY

Terry wasn't trying to heap any more coals on the fires of indig- nation be aroused in Brooklyn this winter by the casual wise- crack, made during a flaming sea- son, that he wondered whether the Dodgers were still in the Na- tional League" What he meant was that he had not heard much about the club during the winter.
 But the remark seems to have given Brooklyn what it needed
 CD something to get sore about and (2) rallying point from which to begin the reconstruction under a new manager, instead Of the scholarly Max Carey.
 Stengel's first job will be to re- store harmony among the players. It is no secret there was ill-feel- ig and much working at cross purposes under Carey, regardless of whose fault it may have been. Max undoubtedly was heavily han dicapped trying to engineer the deals he thought would strengthen
