East. It may run second in
the series and then you
wouldn't know anything about
the West. I'll tell you those
big boys from the West have
the color, and they're all regu-
lar guys. There isn't a one
of 'em but what you can step
up and slap on the back the
second time you meet him and
ask him "how'S tricks?"
Bad Front Name
Take that chap Elmer Boe.
seke, the 6-foot, 4-inch No. 2
man of the West. I'll tell you
Elmer is no front name for a
fellow like him. That lad is no
sissy and when anybody calls
him one, I want to be in the
next county.
He's one Of three 1O-goal men
in the country and Cecil
Smith, his teammate at No. 3,
is the second one of the trio,
Tommy Hitchcock being the
other.
Boeseke is out of Santa Bar
bara. Cal, and if he isn't the
personification of one of those
giant red woods out there, then
I'll borrow a tooth pick.
Elmer (gosh it's a crime to
call him that) is a real estate
dealer and oil production man.
If be were in a circus the kids d
follow him around for a freak.
And if you don't want to take
a guy called Elmer, take one
called Eric, whose last name is
Pedley. There's a lad you'd
love. His face is loaded with
personality. He could be a
banker or a judge or professor,
and you'd respect his views.
Poor, But Proud
Eric is of splendid breeding,
and it flashes all over him, but
his folks were practically pau
perS, and if you don't think it's
hard for a poor kid to crash the

General Motors is willing to take
over the entire ticket sale of the
Tigers. Henry Ford, having
bought the broadcast, stands
ready to buy every reserved seat
for the series. A manufacturer
OF motor parts wants to buy out
the grandstand, and a prominent
brewer in Detroit has a check for
$25,OOO to lay on the line for
tickets.
These corporations are swamped
by odds from customers for tick
cts, and the customers will not
take mo" for an answer. The
motor car manufacturers want
thousands of seats for dealers
throughout the State of Michi-
gan to pass along to customers.
Just what will happen can only
be guessed. And by the way, if
you think the 'boys" at City Hall
have been modest in their de-
mands you can lay your dough on
the line.

Cold figures show that Frank

red ink bath to the tune of al
most 20 grand in building those
temporary wooden seats in back
of the left field fence. He is
going to put up accommodations
for $4,000 fans which will cost
him something more than 81 per
person. This covers the cost Of
constructing the bleachers alone.
It will be necessary to demolish
the left field fence, a concrete
wall some 300 feet long. After
the series is over. the bleachers
will be torn down and the fence
reconstructed.

The riders don't have to
guide them-because a polo
pony follows the ball instructive
". The only time the rider
jerks his mount off the ball
is when he wishes to ride off
some opponent-and even as
intelligent a beast as a polo
pony can't read his masters
mind.
Everybody Does It
Everybody down here mostly,
that is everybody except the
Western Union messenger boy
and the taxi driver who
brought me over from the sta
ton, owns polo ponies.
They grab 'em when they're
young girls and boys and grow
up with 'em. Why, Monte
waterbury, of the Westbury
Waterbury's played polo back
in 1913 on a famous pony
named Blind Bob" and the
latter is today being ridden
by that gallant old polo master.
Mr.. Seward Cary, 78 years of
age, three games a week over

Yea. the people naturally got

Detroit's Is games still to be
played include two with Washing
ton, four with New York, si1
with st. Louis and three with
Chicago.
New York, with IA games to play
has two with Cleveland, foul
with Detroit, three with Boston
three with the Griffs and two
with Philadelphia.
Detroit has beaten the Griffs
13 out of 20 games; defeated the
Yanks 10 times in Is starts; de.
feated st. Louis 10 times in 16
starts and Chicago Is times in 19
starts. The Yanks and Cleveland
are even up at 10 victories each;
the figures with Detroit are given
above; Boston has been tough
winning 9 from New York and
losing 10; Washington won 8 and
lost II to New York, and the AS
won 7 and lost 13.
May Tell Tale
Those three games between De.
troit and Chicago may tell the
tale, although every time the
Yankees lose a game regardless of
what Detroit does, the cause of
the Rupert Rifles becomes just
that much more impossible.
Let's look at the figures for a
minute.
With the Tigers leading but four
and one-half games, we will set
a goal they should reach with the
greatest of ease. Already Detroit
has won 80 games, and has Is
to go.
If the Tigers win nine games
out of the Is remaining, travel
ling at a 800 clip, they will close
the season with 80 victories and
IS defeats. To tie that record
the Yanks will have to win 13
games out of their IA remaining
games. The Yankees will have
to finish at a. .929 clip to get a
draw. If the Tigers win eight
out Of their IS games, or play
.533 ball for the rest Of the sea-
son, they will finish with SO
victories. New York will have
to win IL out Of its IA games to
get draw.
So that should ease the hearts
and minds of the Tigers if they
need any easing at this stage
of the race.

Bengals has created an economic

tleholder, will win one of the ju-
nior events despite the fact that

with proper coaching and train

Due to the fact he must return
to his studies at Stanford Uni

bids fair to add the United States
amateur golf championship to
his British amateur crown, will
be unable to appear here in an
exhibition.

the Indian Spring Country Club,
today had been notified by
Little of his inability to pay
Washington a return visit. Little
visited here last spring prior to
departing for England, playing
several local courses.

able to drop off here en- route
to his home following the anna

Mass.

Supervisor COmmendS
Work OF Mayor Dalglty

A. F. Ghiglione, supervisor for
CWA projects in lower southeastern
Alaska, visited Wrangell last Fri
day.
Il am more than satisfied with
the way that Mayor Dalgity has
handled the Wrangell projects,
stated Ghiglione. From the begin
ming it has been evident that he was
daily giving each piece of work a
thorough inspection. He has handled
the problems of the projects and the
workers well and l feel that he is
largely responsible for the fact that
the CWA work has gone so smoothly
in Wrangell. There has been a mini
mum of friction here and as a con-
sequence, good work has resulted"
Mr.. Ghiglione used a government
boat at the beginning of the CWA
work but lately has been using re-
gular passenger boats to visit the
towns under his supervision.

Alaska Line Issues a
Good Natured" Map

Something new in maps has just
comment here in Alaska, as we'll as
in every State in the Union. 1t is a
'good-natured" map of Alaska, pre-
pared by the Alaska Steamship
Company. This is no ordinary, unin-
formative map of intricate boundary
lines and dry names, but colorful,
"good-natured" map of the Terri
tory which is both amusing and In
structive.
The purpose of this unique map,
officials of the Alaska Line point
out, is to dispel any doubts the pub
lie may have as to the climate of
Alaska or its general accessibility
and to illustrate, in light vein, the
high-spots of the Territory. Already
a wide demand for these fascinating
maps has been created in the United
States and it is anticipated that it's
wide distribution will go long way
towards bringing Alaska closer to
the public at large.
A supply of these maps, beautifully
Autographed in six colors, suitable
for framing, has just been received
by the Alaska Line agent here. These
maps are being sold, in the United
States, but the Alaska Line has an
nounced that it will gladly present
copy of the map to each of its
friends in Alaska free of charge.
The company will take care of mail
ing these maps to friends in the
States for ten cents to cover postage
and the mailing tube to prevent da-
mage.

Opportunity Offered
To Enlist in CIV A

Opportunity for enlistment in the
Wrangell ECW camp, is now open
to five or six boys, according to j.
NJ. Wyckoff of the United States For
est Service. Designated in the States
as Gee camps, the same service is
known as ECW, or Emergency Con-
servation Work, in the Alaska for
ests.
Acceptance in a ECW camp offers
so many advantages that it is expect
ed a number of Wrangell boys will
desire to enlist The boys work 40
hours a week and receive $50 2
month in pay besides being fur
nished with room, board, clothing,
many personal supplies, medical at
tention and emergency dental care.
As contrasted with cannery work
and the fact that it is seasonal, the
ECW has the advantage in pay. The
present enlistment rolls will close
on March 81 and it will be six
months more before there will be
another opportunity to enlist.
