HUNTING PARTY RETURNS WITH
 FINET TROPHIES
Cleveland r OK Enthusec Over Trip, Planning to
 Return Soon as Possible

With some fine bear trophies talk en in the virgin hunting section north of Katmai National Monu- ment around Naknek lake on the Alaska Peninsula, MT. and Mrs Charles E. King and Dr. E. H, Gushing, of Cleveland, were passen- gers southward on the Yukon, re- turning to their homes after a several weeks hunt. But not for long at home if they can possibly return to Alaska this season, they said. Already they are making plans to return for another trip and some of the salient reasons are, they explained, as follows:
 They counted 43 bear, and among their trophies was one skin 10 feet four inches of the Ursus Gyas type, prototype of the famous Kodiak.
 While watching the snow slides for bear, they saw earth move and directly a mother bear and three cubs emerged.
 They found what they described as the worlds best rainbow trout fishing in Brooks Lake; the water fairly teeining with fish and never in all their travels had they seen such a thing.
 Four live cubs were brought along by the hunters, three of which are enroute to zoos in the states while the fourth is being kept here by the Alaska Game Commission for a few days and probably will be dis patched on the next Princess boat to the Commissioner of Parks. Riv- erdale Zoo, Toronto, Canada. It is being cared for here by the Game Commission while permit is being obtained.
 Luke Elwell of Seward and Jim Waddell of Anchorage guided the party which was arranged through the Alaska Guides, Inc. of Anchor age.

 But there's dispute over wheth- CT Saturdays walkaway victory of the Cards should go in the record book. The sailors didn't have full team present. So, most fans agree, the standings show two victories and no defeats for the Tally nine in this annual series.

HEARS AND NORTH SQUARES WIN CLOSE
 CITY LOOP GAMES
Fine Pitching, Hard Hitting Prevalent - TOnlfnies
 Drub Hills s to 2

Tn one of the most successful City Amateur Baseball league open ings in many years, some 5000 fans were attracted to Hamilton Park by fine weather and remain ed until early evening to take in some fine pitching and batting per- formances which brought victory to the North Square Recreations over the Tribunes by a 2-1 score; the Thomas Club winning from the Washington Hills to 2 and the Sacred Hearts putting on a ninth ming rally to tap the Brooklyn 8 to 8.
 Tight Twirlins.
 Of many features, the pitching duel between Frankie Edmonds, fcolored athlete from Naugatuck and Earl Selenske, the fireball finger for the Tribunes was about the best to look at. Five hits was all both teams could get from the able pair of moundsmen, Selenske giving two hits and Edmonds three though the control of the former was lacking considerably, and Ed- monds also had two wild pitches marked him, the Tribunes' only run coming in one of Edmonds out of line heaves, thus spelling a shutout for himself. The Tribes were unable to count before or after the seventh inning, while the North Squares had two run lead at the start of the fifth session. Hyland's error in dropping a fly ball by Hildebrand, put the Fri. bune marker on second base. Sum- mary:

B. BALUS, MIDGET :. RACING STAR, ON
 PARK CITY TRACK
New Auto Speedway to Be Opened Oli Wednesday
 Night

Lou BozoY Balus, veteran Miami race driver. is one of the first entrants in the opening nlid- get auto race scheduled on Bridge port speedway in Bridgeport, on May 18th, according to a news re- lease received today from Colonel R. R. Brythe. "Bozo" as the dimin- utives Florida sfirecracker is en. dearingly called by the race fans, has just returned from a success ful tour of the midwest auto race circuit where he eqnalled Ronnie Householder's record on the pop ular Detroit speedway.
 old Hand
 The career of this midget race driver, has been of fifteen years duration and has been annually punctuated with enough wrecks punctuated with enough wrecks and amazingly varied exploits to worry any ten average men into an early grave. In 1926 Balus set out to break all records every time he entered an auto race. He suc- ceeded in breaking records-but not for spede. In that one season Balus demolished six expensive race cars and ended the, year with a total of fourteen broken bones.
 In 1927 no car owner would give the Florida whirlwind car to pilot and "Bozo" earned his living by dressing up in five suits of clothes and Jumping off the back of a speeding race car to provide an additional thrill for the spec tators. He saved his. money and 1928 saw him at the wheel of his own race car and 1t was in that year he made his first bid for the fame that has since been his.
 Steady winner
 A continuous succession of vic- tories and near victories has been the lote of the five feet two" race driver ever since that date. His major achievements include the 1929 Southern States champion ship, les0 national championship victory in the I. M. c. circuit. has won notable victories in 1882, '33 and '34 in the American Auto Racing association and started off 1885 as the second ranking driver and runner-up for the New York city indoor midget auto racing championship on the New York Coliseum speedway.
 Balus expects to drive one of the new "Miller" midgets which is being built for, him in Bridgeport, Conn. and will be completed, he hopes, the week of the opening race. If his own car is not finished by the time the starters flag falls. 'Bozo" is sure of a job at the wheel of the Hauptner special.
